在還不清楚對方意圖的情況下不要輕易暴露自己的情緒,尤其是這個很明顯在算計什麼都男人,既然他都故意想貶低我了,那我刻意發個脾氣也不算過分了。564Please respect copyright.PENANAvgPdBze8UC
564Please respect copyright.PENANAQU7TnAvOVt
「我只想把錢用在我想用的地方,怎麼可能允許這種把錢倒入水溝的舉動?」564Please respect copyright.PENANApexgRdFHEf
564Please respect copyright.PENANAkJhMqhnAFt
「啊、抱歉我失禮了,我只是感到意外,艾利法小姐並非想利用那間店賺錢,卻相當清楚市場上的所有變動罷了。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAQpUtcbROLy
564Please respect copyright.PENANAHVrCNCMmjN
鮑爾很乾脆的道歉,還順便指出萬藥釀造的真正用途……我說這不是人盡皆知的事情嗎?564Please respect copyright.PENANAUlsV6qiHzX
564Please respect copyright.PENANALFa3cuDUbc
還需要你特地說出來?564Please respect copyright.PENANAoH3qP8iP66
564Please respect copyright.PENANAEtkg5rUgcF
「那麼閣下為何不從那裡聯繫我,非得用這種迂迴的方式?」564Please respect copyright.PENANAejQc1YFUkr
564Please respect copyright.PENANA9fhC0XWMzb
他這時候露出苦笑。
「說來慚愧,與你會面這件事我希望越隱密越好,但很遺憾,艾利法小姐身邊滿是眼線,我不能暴露我的意圖,便只能選擇這個方式了。」564Please respect copyright.PENANA2YZW3tGkOw
564Please respect copyright.PENANARA8Fdcw0Jo
說完,鮑爾叫來身邊待命的管家,從他手上那托著許久的銀盤上拿出幾張文件。564Please respect copyright.PENANAeYGUmsXhRP
564Please respect copyright.PENANAyF5SHggq69
「增稅的事情就當做什麼都沒發生過,我現在就把稅調整回原本的模式。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAsAqP2Acc1S
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGaztsNtj9v
一邊在紙張上書寫,鮑爾一邊對我說著。564Please respect copyright.PENANANMEEJn4Wsg
564Please respect copyright.PENANAB4GA9WWZCl
「這樣,給你進行確認吧!」564Please respect copyright.PENANArahvqtDf9l
564Please respect copyright.PENANAgnuPiTE9A8
他把那幾份文書放回管家的銀托盤上,管家恭敬地將文書送到我這邊,席安納立刻主動接手文件交給卡登,卡登把文書全部看過後,才放到我面前。564Please respect copyright.PENANAvoGZi9DAMs
564Please respect copyright.PENANAZDBb7OnAPv
「大人,確認過文書正確性,稅金已經全部更動回原本的狀態了。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAtzlF9fqA3Q
564Please respect copyright.PENANAXqoLU6O9tH
我點點頭,大概掃了文件一眼……其實也沒什麼好確認的啦,卡登這孩子比我謹慎多了,他確定沒問題,那就不會有問題了。564Please respect copyright.PENANA9vcltuo4Sx
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGOXTpcmI3C
於是我讓管家把確認過的文書收回去,再次看向鮑爾。564Please respect copyright.PENANA3789FDNU29
564Please respect copyright.PENANAVLFTZHC1UY
「那麼是時候告訴我,用這個小手段把我找來這裡密談,究竟是想要做什麼了吧?」564Please respect copyright.PENANAnRH4PtouIg
564Please respect copyright.PENANAQJeTlLYHIt
和我預料的差不多,當我提到他想做什麼的時候,鮑爾男爵卻是一臉放鬆的樣子,他將身體靠到椅背上、對我露出人畜無害的微笑。564Please respect copyright.PENANAqjid3yo0bn
564Please respect copyright.PENANATCNEfvDWGN
「艾利法小姐如果不忙的話……願不願意品嘗我這珍藏的美酒、試試城主家日常食用的小點心呢?」564Please respect copyright.PENANAmOPsxbYYq1
564Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bjhkhl8qL
唉……564Please respect copyright.PENANAmRoqfGwt8c
564Please respect copyright.PENANA0r9ya4lTqr
我很想嘆氣,也很想跟他說我沒空。564Please respect copyright.PENANAcFOCBEsBzj
564Please respect copyright.PENANAutyNUSmcP4
但如果這樣做了,就沒辦法知道他的實際意圖,也沒辦法透過他追蹤到天才次子的動向了。564Please respect copyright.PENANAMdGXD82XMX
564Please respect copyright.PENANAsmjcnT6K7e
不管怎麼說,為了大局,還是必須忍耐。564Please respect copyright.PENANAy11QboQs9n
564Please respect copyright.PENANAvZqcTGD6zP
「鮑爾閣下,請不要考驗我的耐性。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAmcCOZSQztY
564Please respect copyright.PENANAef5TMGMGZD
不輕不重地威脅他一下,我也做出放鬆的樣子,算是同意繼續待下來陪他耗。564Please respect copyright.PENANA6Oo0PGNaWL
564Please respect copyright.PENANAqChQSHL6jq
考慮到鮑爾不認為我是高等舊人類,所以他不會對我做出什麼尊敬的舉動,搞不好其實還盤算要怎麼誘捕我也說不定。564Please respect copyright.PENANA98Wxx0cTL6
564Please respect copyright.PENANA43jYvG0EXv
現在忍著不動手,大概是忌諱我身邊的白龍賽克利,畢竟我可是有著騎著白龍進城的動作,他不覺得他的人打不過我、但卻不能確定他的人能不能打得過一頭憤怒的龍,所以才表現得很乖順。564Please respect copyright.PENANA2BLazHvCfO
564Please respect copyright.PENANA1NOvQ5wlaV
嗯,我是不是該注意下他會不會在食物裡下藥這件事?564Please respect copyright.PENANAf5q4ykbwpf
564Please respect copyright.PENANAucCaGpdEzu
雖然說我有身體機能上的外掛,大部分的毒對高等舊人類起不了作用,但也不是百毒不侵的,而且必須考慮到人類也是會改良精進藥物的。564Please respect copyright.PENANAPr8W1DnNmY
564Please respect copyright.PENANAyYoPazftIk
……尤其是在這種奇怪興趣用途上的藥物。564Please respect copyright.PENANAPk0KCftTVj
564Please respect copyright.PENANAPpdJQ7gElg
我還是多注意點好了。564Please respect copyright.PENANAvg8llcbBvl
564Please respect copyright.PENANADEwJPiqQ14
我們沒有從會客室離開,鮑爾讓人把酒與食物送進來會客室,他的管家在我們面前將紅酒開瓶,分別倒入杯中,送到我這邊。564Please respect copyright.PENANAfIEJBYa4jg
564Please respect copyright.PENANAvPdNqD30SW
看著這些只是要喝酒就需要這麼多步驟,我真的是覺得……好麻煩!564Please respect copyright.PENANACSBKy2KuKk
564Please respect copyright.PENANAbRLthk6xS2
貴族裡那的規矩真的是又多又繁雜,如果是喝這種紅酒的話步驟又更多了,如果不是在前貴族雪倫、還有服侍過貴族的三個小侍從那裡惡補這些禮儀,我現在大概就會拿起紅酒來喝了。564Please respect copyright.PENANApewjZRBNuf
564Please respect copyright.PENANAQAU8mcWRcm
但在貴族場合上不能這麼做,我必須繼續坐在位子上不動,讓席安納先接過酒,仔細端詳過杯中紅酒的品質,確認自家主人不會喝到劣質的酒之後,才放到我面前的桌上。564Please respect copyright.PENANAihj6MAVyNN
564Please respect copyright.PENANAtJXiJN8LTF
這個時候我才可以真正拿起酒杯,先觀察過酒的色澤、晃動酒杯、輕聞杯中的香味,接著輕輕地抿一口酒。564Please respect copyright.PENANA9kGSvaTSeO
564Please respect copyright.PENANAjPmsRGf5qu
……其實我沒有喝酒的習慣,也沒有那麼喜歡喝酒,根本就不能分便所謂酒的好壞。564Please respect copyright.PENANAT4uODx1ICb
564Please respect copyright.PENANAC9R65NVveL
但是換成這個身體之後,味覺是真實的敏銳了很多,這種生前喝只能感受到酸澀的東西,現在是真的能喝出裡面的不同。564Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Wk8ibc3u
564Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Qcl2L5ZL
雖然不會讓我因為這樣喜歡上酒,但最少可以真心地說出幾句稱讚的話。564Please respect copyright.PENANAXDmO1a4Syd
564Please respect copyright.PENANAscQYoy5t9i
「風味非常獨特,這不是用豔陽城所產的葡萄釀製的吧?」564Please respect copyright.PENANAXLpfFPWdQq
564Please respect copyright.PENANALQZ6tSCQBE
「不愧是艾利法小姐,這是遠在接近極寒地代區域所產的葡萄,釀造之後用專用車箱運輸過來的,光只是這一瓶就要花上三千金幣,就算是我也不願意在平常時隨意拿出來。」564Please respect copyright.PENANA43L1v6Zxw0
564Please respect copyright.PENANAR56LU9Xiy5
幸好我克制的住沒把酒噴出來,嚇死我了,一瓶酒三千金幣!564Please respect copyright.PENANAJdpAghTBKJ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAzUJaSzBax5
這金額都可以買五間萬藥釀造了!564Please respect copyright.PENANA2JUWfCM8EW
564Please respect copyright.PENANAbMYMFayK3Q
你們貴族的錢都拿來這樣花的嗎!564Please respect copyright.PENANArgm858aEJ8
564Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cp9QYerAe
「真讓人驚訝,你會願意拿這樣的酒出來做招待。」564Please respect copyright.PENANARJjXjio9i9
564Please respect copyright.PENANAV0XgFathhy
我努力讓自己冷靜地說話,畢竟是大貴族,搞不好都流行花大錢享樂也說不定,我不可以被動搖!564Please respect copyright.PENANAOmlZCkTuk0
564Please respect copyright.PENANArf3u1yfjcj
「只要是招待艾利法小姐,這點錢算不上什麼,接下來是我推薦的,能夠搭配紅酒的小點心,還請艾利法小姐一定要試試。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5m8eRpvus
564Please respect copyright.PENANA4pp7JzH7sj
鮑爾說完,他的僕從從外頭推了一台精緻餐點推車進來,上面放著漂亮擺盤的食物,分別送到我們面前。564Please respect copyright.PENANAlxGXASOyci
564Please respect copyright.PENANANmQ6aEMAFR
照慣例席安納先仔細檢視過食物的安全,才送到我面前,我打算先看看到底是什麼點心時,依附在鑑定裡的偵察技能卻在這時動了起來。564Please respect copyright.PENANA0glV5kvarP
564Please respect copyright.PENANAXmC76ISiln
果然有下藥嗎?564Please respect copyright.PENANAIulO9V3eyf
564Please respect copyright.PENANAlXn9Oai4QF
不得不說鮑爾男爵真的很小心,他下的藥是一種必須搭配起來才會有作用的藥物,這種藥只靠席安納還是卡登是不可能檢查出來的。564Please respect copyright.PENANAryee79mwrS
564Please respect copyright.PENANAeLXwPsjLYx
不過這種藥也不是迷藥或什麼毒藥,目前透過偵察技能所知的,只能大概判斷是一種讓我放鬆警惕的藥物。564Please respect copyright.PENANAvbKzpfgIqN
564Please respect copyright.PENANACw7N32d1yJ
……很微妙。564Please respect copyright.PENANAtNzkrwVp5Q
564Please respect copyright.PENANA7WZoLuUUFt
放鬆警惕這種藥效放在地球根本是種無法理解的說明,但是只要有魔法在裡面做加持,感覺就會成為不管什麼怪異狀態都不稀奇的免死金牌,我只是大概猜測藥效出現的時候,我就不會再對鮑爾男爵抱著警戒。564Please respect copyright.PENANAzkOnwL00gi
564Please respect copyright.PENANAKEfHfkq28X
然後他到底要做什麼就不好說了,只是不警戒而已,照理說他也不能做出更超過的事情……嗎?564Please respect copyright.PENANAXKvARthwKj
564Please respect copyright.PENANAZdJ43uxT8F
好為難。564Please respect copyright.PENANAii56nnuGom
564Please respect copyright.PENANA9RlHU27ZYh
如果他以為藥效有用了來靠近我,而我實際上沒有事,那他就會被我的種族天賦給處罰,就結果而言要假裝中計有點困難。564Please respect copyright.PENANAVmsIkiMTBK
564Please respect copyright.PENANAzBtuN8oHmb
那就只能真的把藥吃下去了。564Please respect copyright.PENANAqVT8ZhSiga
564Please respect copyright.PENANAym84qyBNsC
然後針對身體的反應在體內自我調整藥物對我的影響。564Please respect copyright.PENANA0qwsclJJIN
564Please respect copyright.PENANAViwn6JlEb8
我實在沒有多餘的腦容量可以再思考鮑爾的意圖,在間時緊迫的情況下就選擇把點心吃了。564Please respect copyright.PENANA8eRIw2vGjR
564Please respect copyright.PENANAaTiGTMPg0p
幸好這點心真的是滿好吃的,有點像地球配酒用的小菜,只是在這裡是做成麵包夾雜某種鹹醬、配上像生火腿的肉片,好吃到讓我打算以後也要請個會做這種食物的廚師到家裡了。564Please respect copyright.PENANAx7IhgQwQBk
564Please respect copyright.PENANAUuMT4rfmtL
順著鮑爾的話,我吃完這個只有一口大小的點心,再啜飲著紅酒做搭配,如果不是現場的人都太壓抑了,我肯定把整盤的點心都吃光。564Please respect copyright.PENANANfTQzAYp2l
564Please respect copyright.PENANAnyVU1ODf47
男爵看到我把點心吃了之後非常高興,又讓人送上各種不同的小餐點,似乎想讓我把整杯酒都喝完的樣子,其實在第一份點心吃完後,我已經感覺到那個藥已經開始作用了,但不知道是不是因為高等舊人類對魔法本身就有很高的抗性還是什麼的,我沒怎麼感覺我對鮑爾有放下戒心,反而覺得這男人的笑容越看越可疑。564Please respect copyright.PENANAuOPOxDDjCY
564Please respect copyright.PENANA7ojOyg4cbp
就在我還疑惑這到底是怎麼回事的時候,已經被我開啟的掃描技能在這時對我顯示,我已經中了一種對象是鮑爾的迷惑效果。564Please respect copyright.PENANAWyXPC1FKHZ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAsWhtWkdNTe
真的假的?564Please respect copyright.PENANAj6d69Gybj2
564Please respect copyright.PENANAAyay1O7iqs
而且這種藥還不算在藥劑跟魔藥裡,是算在外放魔法裡面?564Please respect copyright.PENANAn709jG40BO
564Please respect copyright.PENANAPe06iEWH13
這也就是說,這種藥其實是一種魔法?564Please respect copyright.PENANAayBdisVpB0
564Please respect copyright.PENANA8PKysLGn0M
太不可思議了吧!564Please respect copyright.PENANAqeaweFBy1n
564Please respect copyright.PENANABqXUlExyF3
我一邊聽著鮑爾說些不著邊際的話,一邊暗中把幾個點心與紅酒收藏起來,等回去一定要好好對這些東西做研究。564Please respect copyright.PENANAnFZUEzlbIB
564Please respect copyright.PENANAXORbjBYH93
也不知道這個詳談後的茶會進行了多久,這期間,鮑爾的話題已經從他的珍藏美食漸漸轉變為他對領地的經營計畫,我沒發表意見,只是仔細對比他的話與我所認知的有沒有出入。564Please respect copyright.PENANAj9lzzSOIqu
564Please respect copyright.PENANAkCK37Q8TVX
我對城鎮經營這類事情沒有研究的,但是對比部分貨物的進出口差異倒是不大……總而言之,可以信一半……吧。564Please respect copyright.PENANAnE6y0GcTLb
564Please respect copyright.PENANAZNM0eG1XZb
正在思考什麼時候可以提出離開的要求時,鮑爾突然間轉了話題。564Please respect copyright.PENANAWn0iCvzvyG
564Please respect copyright.PENANANf4f3zqJWc
「艾利法小姐,我想請問,你有沒有意願和我進行合作呢?」564Please respect copyright.PENANA69Deb5ld7l
564Please respect copyright.PENANA8NhvBOW67t
欸突然間的在說什麼啊?564Please respect copyright.PENANAfCuHYYdajY
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGkVqRbRhlt
我忍住想直接吐槽出來的話。564Please respect copyright.PENANA5T7s2KEpYm
「男爵所謂的合作是指?」564Please respect copyright.PENANAsiVcnlrbxF
564Please respect copyright.PENANAEo42S05IpF
「我希望萬藥釀造可以和海姆茲家族合作,接受大量訂單需求。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAuvaCBkcXLe
564Please respect copyright.PENANAN8I87c1wwE
這倒是很會,在經營的角度上來說,鮑爾其實不比次子差,只是他的觀念很侷限在固定的思考裡,無法像次子那樣跳脫。564Please respect copyright.PENANA8076ArTYDg
564Please respect copyright.PENANAgvbvrm7YpH
說白了就是古板不知變通。564Please respect copyright.PENANArPPAGDJeml
564Please respect copyright.PENANA1hgvq5UagP
但本意都是為了發展城市、說不上是壞。564Please respect copyright.PENANAAYz42074uU
564Please respect copyright.PENANA5X6O6movuJ
「您知道我一直以來都沒有與貴族合作的意願……」564Please respect copyright.PENANAlOIzuDUgYA
564Please respect copyright.PENANA2ma1MAquIV
我故意放慢說話的速度,也許是鮑爾為了測試對我下的藥有沒有作用,那麼我就順從他的意吧!564Please respect copyright.PENANAsTwD68wFHA
564Please respect copyright.PENANAyi4kBPWJ8g
「但如果男爵已經知道我的店無法大量製藥,並且也沒有什麼效果超群的藥劑,還願意與我合作,那麼我是可以考慮這項交易。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAdLgxmoyQMq
564Please respect copyright.PENANAVtDjdJasBs
明明還沒有正式答應他,卻沒想到這個男爵很高興的站起來看著我。
「非常感謝小姐願意接受我的提議。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAkEYu4KVq2k
564Please respect copyright.PENANAAKi11tjXZ2
欸給我等一下,這對你們貴族來說已經是答應了嗎?564Please respect copyright.PENANAmIbeEyv2Mc
564Please respect copyright.PENANA2qICFmtzU2
「今天佔據艾利法小姐這麼多時間真是非常抱歉,我想小姐或許很想早點回去了吧?」564Please respect copyright.PENANArNxYMjh1fu
564Please respect copyright.PENANAOyWzmziFJe
是真的很想沒錯啦!564Please respect copyright.PENANAlXBncQgLP8
564Please respect copyright.PENANA8QjWChgjhk
但是你也太奇怪了吧!564Please respect copyright.PENANA3MAzxm2dDs
564Please respect copyright.PENANAChS7L8OLfb
搞得好像我說了這句話就等同簽訂了什麼魔法契約一樣,可以不要這樣嗎?564Please respect copyright.PENANAOiSim8MI5j
564Please respect copyright.PENANAu30L7Xr1c0
「……確實如您所說,我是該回去了。」564Please respect copyright.PENANAEc84WKPdzD
564Please respect copyright.PENANAvfjL5eRo6i
順著他的話,我提出離開的要求,鮑爾馬上就讓人準備送我離開。564Please respect copyright.PENANAZpJyNChKaJ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAV3qDm1PfaV
「雖然艾利法小姐現在並沒有決定是否要和我合作,但日後或許我們能夠約一個時間,再繼續討論這件事?」564Please respect copyright.PENANAmRgTRI1CID
564Please respect copyright.PENANArmYzgR7RnA
喔好吧,他沒有真的把剛才那句話當成我同意合作,我該感到慶幸嗎?564Please respect copyright.PENANAyVlpEdayjV
564Please respect copyright.PENANAtSbAJHDsLZ
「沒問題,那麼若要約時間,這一次可以把消息到萬藥釀造嗎?」564Please respect copyright.PENANA00pzxv4eFX
564Please respect copyright.PENANA6TqrWpFvM9
「這次自然沒問題,我會派人去萬藥釀造送邀請函的。」564Please respect copyright.PENANA3C9G4PxM8M
564Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Net6SeUH
因為我是用傳送過來的,所以這裡的人也沒必要把我送去門口,我也不打算再走那一段不必要的距離,所以示意席安納和卡登站到我身旁就準備離開。564Please respect copyright.PENANABW2KkNBtQR
564Please respect copyright.PENANARxFU8Muis7
不過這時候鮑爾突然走到我面前對我伸手。564Please respect copyright.PENANAhHtOcDwAQ5
564Please respect copyright.PENANAWYVUjQE6qA
「那麼,我先預祝小姐能夠與我有一個暢快的詳談,可以嗎?」564Please respect copyright.PENANA1SxR2jHxWz
564Please respect copyright.PENANAPNLtP2jJWH
有點懶得再和他說話,我直接與他握手表示我的同意。564Please respect copyright.PENANAt21ypFLuRs
564Please respect copyright.PENANAktAswLHpXS
但沒想到他拉著我突然間給我一個擁抱!564Please respect copyright.PENANAfw8YgI647I
564Please respect copyright.PENANARRHG9LvGgk
喂!隨便亂來的話你會被……?564Please respect copyright.PENANAFEPf1thaeR
564Please respect copyright.PENANA8inTJTintn
我的種族被動、怎麼……564Please respect copyright.PENANAmkOrcMgk43
564Please respect copyright.PENANA2u6JilcuEC
沒發動?564Please respect copyright.PENANA4qoycCDRoS
