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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAMguW9IpCiT
587Please respect copyright.PENANAA4UYsc8pVp
「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?」587Please respect copyright.PENANAt4lN7H8krw
587Please respect copyright.PENANAOa3Gp4MjrW
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAp6d00q7IoJ
587Please respect copyright.PENANAChtnhA9OPW
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?587Please respect copyright.PENANA5KPORDmYiZ
587Please respect copyright.PENANAW90jbALBB5
還需要你特地說出來?587Please respect copyright.PENANAp7AGZx2nrg
587Please respect copyright.PENANAinqzDTdzIu
「那麼閣下為何不從那裡聯繫我,非得用這種迂迴的方式?」587Please respect copyright.PENANATqQUAXXi2a
587Please respect copyright.PENANAhOHr1CsXJa
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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAweBVLQhFpO
587Please respect copyright.PENANAqT9D1eFYCS
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANA2u1Hx8WIcC
587Please respect copyright.PENANACCnSv2a87r
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANA5bw2J55RTB
587Please respect copyright.PENANAkmj52zizcF
一邊在紙張上書寫,鮑爾一邊對我說著。587Please respect copyright.PENANAodnNeKoeTQ
587Please respect copyright.PENANA1xQUGyu2rg
「這樣,給你進行確認吧!」587Please respect copyright.PENANAvuLK0SDtR7
587Please respect copyright.PENANA0PoX2yIRfS
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAUqhJjz7MiY
587Please respect copyright.PENANAZiF217Tgls
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAaRDrtqlbh5
587Please respect copyright.PENANAdepl4Vf5EY
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANArcY1yW494U
587Please respect copyright.PENANAigWKtLBkKI
於是我讓管家把確認過的文書收回去,再次看向鮑爾。587Please respect copyright.PENANA6C2gqA2g1w
587Please respect copyright.PENANA4OO68FLzKA
「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?」587Please respect copyright.PENANAyMfGwb6Yr4
587Please respect copyright.PENANAY6WX8p6gdB
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANASlbNjWB0lh
587Please respect copyright.PENANA6dSmfjrEzA
「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?」587Please respect copyright.PENANADGONV8giKA
587Please respect copyright.PENANAKLSbca22u2
唉……587Please respect copyright.PENANAv6mqkLOmpc
587Please respect copyright.PENANA4s4R8b3plO
我很想嘆氣,也很想跟他說我沒空。587Please respect copyright.PENANA3GFdck2Ajh
587Please respect copyright.PENANAmkFu94BPQm
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAwh1VNlfxCG
587Please respect copyright.PENANAf4CbHaqQ3E
不管怎麼說,為了大局,還是必須忍耐。587Please respect copyright.PENANA81JMmopPKO
587Please respect copyright.PENANAu4TsplT8Ri
「鮑爾閣下,請不要考驗我的耐性。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAEBh2JTtky0
587Please respect copyright.PENANAJd4qEO80qU
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAsPgLx3JEZU
587Please respect copyright.PENANAqxGoBxLxfN
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANA393y1vdahT
587Please respect copyright.PENANAffSfzh01HS
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANACWW8Y2MWHB
587Please respect copyright.PENANAwcxuvSILZT
嗯,我是不是該注意下他會不會在食物裡下藥這件事?587Please respect copyright.PENANA9wFWkqURzp
587Please respect copyright.PENANAcMX5fHZu6H
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAgQCKAkU9cC
587Please respect copyright.PENANAEP7haG5SQj
……尤其是在這種奇怪興趣用途上的藥物。587Please respect copyright.PENANA8iC7TzZ53i
587Please respect copyright.PENANA3Iu3AEna8Z
我還是多注意點好了。587Please respect copyright.PENANAcGOnob7Ivv
587Please respect copyright.PENANASDdM1EWgR1
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAguy8n5WCuW
587Please respect copyright.PENANABxH55Ku8Go
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!587Please respect copyright.PENANAAGHl70ZABl
587Please respect copyright.PENANAlywMM0u6De
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANASWJyJ3IdVS
587Please respect copyright.PENANABcWOHjvE4a
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAOR3YhhYDlC
587Please respect copyright.PENANAat9PDRjzK9
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANA3QBTAmyOma
587Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hqp45pgFY
……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。587Please respect copyright.PENANASWHFuMb5er
587Please respect copyright.PENANASfKkjm3nSn
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAs7ocBWF9o1
587Please respect copyright.PENANA7vpvb1YFpr
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAJAIoYcG6HI
587Please respect copyright.PENANATbKUD7291P
「風味非常獨特,這不是用豔陽城所產的葡萄釀製的吧?」587Please respect copyright.PENANASsOGVxACiU
587Please respect copyright.PENANApAtQCXkTrA
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAUEyJPqy8oK
587Please respect copyright.PENANAOE3bApFh6f
幸好我克制的住沒把酒噴出來,嚇死我了,一瓶酒三千金幣!587Please respect copyright.PENANAtvnTB0AZ11
587Please respect copyright.PENANAhmJ3Xxwo2L
這金額都可以買五間萬藥釀造了!587Please respect copyright.PENANAgh7b3KVwqK
587Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ciPbbWEV
你們貴族的錢都拿來這樣花的嗎!587Please respect copyright.PENANAmbHFKlrjD7
587Please respect copyright.PENANAL8tLQZw7g1
「真讓人驚訝,你會願意拿這樣的酒出來做招待。」587Please respect copyright.PENANANUh9Y1Dq1u
587Please respect copyright.PENANAwJqEsmxgof
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!587Please respect copyright.PENANANwY4GudRNv
587Please respect copyright.PENANAajPwp7llxc
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAsMkgL6cVF0
587Please respect copyright.PENANAzOf9bwsjUn
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAYaGHm9iDk6
587Please respect copyright.PENANAPANNjc0Ono
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAJDH7vtX2w9
587Please respect copyright.PENANASa8R5NclEc
果然有下藥嗎?587Please respect copyright.PENANAVBWUnmUPG7
587Please respect copyright.PENANAhv1QNhIBfq
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAfN8Lvc6Bp4
587Please respect copyright.PENANAVnuELLKrHv
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAi7Qc4ixIzW
587Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8gnehDSBa
……很微妙。587Please respect copyright.PENANATIaJqCIPHd
587Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ5Q1CCamY
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANATwhbfplW1Z
587Please respect copyright.PENANA8G8wPlcdOa
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?587Please respect copyright.PENANAhLC6IEqYLQ
587Please respect copyright.PENANAL4JvzYlMSF
好為難。587Please respect copyright.PENANAC9G3sXClQI
587Please respect copyright.PENANArbHBglSNWa
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANA52zswsz4Se
587Please respect copyright.PENANAh9XtrFbxKd
那就只能真的把藥吃下去了。587Please respect copyright.PENANAYbQrZQkYxq
587Please respect copyright.PENANAgvohrY4xc0
然後針對身體的反應在體內自我調整藥物對我的影響。587Please respect copyright.PENANAYiVHEk6flH
587Please respect copyright.PENANAP2XySoF0Lb
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAxbtisf63Fr
587Please respect copyright.PENANAnmbjgFuUpV
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAWpejc2PwA2
587Please respect copyright.PENANAa99Qo8F8m5
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANA7vXjldUNzg
587Please respect copyright.PENANA7aKImXgwuv
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANApwS5LDhR7Y
587Please respect copyright.PENANABap4k3HU7w
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANA82DReXdYhN
587Please respect copyright.PENANAaaQrfmlSUl
真的假的?587Please respect copyright.PENANAQyGSK3ZDtY
587Please respect copyright.PENANARW36MutYMz
而且這種藥還不算在藥劑跟魔藥裡,是算在外放魔法裡面?587Please respect copyright.PENANAdiY0WxdZli
587Please respect copyright.PENANAIUQG6Go7ER
這也就是說,這種藥其實是一種魔法?587Please respect copyright.PENANAlABnXr4bfJ
587Please respect copyright.PENANAJSscUKG71S
太不可思議了吧!587Please respect copyright.PENANA9j8XAtY3al
587Please respect copyright.PENANAXsrogGYP75
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANASmDuiaLIUL
587Please respect copyright.PENANABxkEuOQKuP
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAVJQnTa1OfT
587Please respect copyright.PENANA6RtIgvFygs
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAky5xw1ZQrK
587Please respect copyright.PENANAz4NRCFvTci
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAg6bwW69PSN
587Please respect copyright.PENANAtgB5eGk6CL
「艾利法小姐,我想請問,你有沒有意願和我進行合作呢?」587Please respect copyright.PENANArT9md6M3gs
587Please respect copyright.PENANApmYTbph6ZP
欸突然間的在說什麼啊?587Please respect copyright.PENANAPlhSpCXcQN
587Please respect copyright.PENANAHOFLWdtU0L
我忍住想直接吐槽出來的話。587Please respect copyright.PENANAHb9wVluiBD
「男爵所謂的合作是指?」587Please respect copyright.PENANAHpKkA3PecC
587Please respect copyright.PENANAHSuHYKfc66
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAOgvw4ECurm
587Please respect copyright.PENANASjINXR2g7A
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANATnbfq1h6KK
587Please respect copyright.PENANA5wn007wV84
說白了就是古板不知變通。587Please respect copyright.PENANAxmS9lwT5NE
587Please respect copyright.PENANAFFHutA7Pkp
但本意都是為了發展城市、說不上是壞。587Please respect copyright.PENANAiEWNi3izwA
587Please respect copyright.PENANACUZvItQHO7
「您知道我一直以來都沒有與貴族合作的意願……」587Please respect copyright.PENANAjq2ir1ohmD
587Please respect copyright.PENANAA3ITq4NuCw
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!587Please respect copyright.PENANA3T60EWi1Cv
587Please respect copyright.PENANA2EOjCKMJ5m
「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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y5ggbQvRc
587Please respect copyright.PENANAYMI4p3Ndni
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。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAOVvt2VdW0N
587Please respect copyright.PENANAK2LooquVRs
欸給我等一下,這對你們貴族來說已經是答應了嗎?587Please respect copyright.PENANAlE3AP3KDID
587Please respect copyright.PENANAYWjn7AjPe7
「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?」587Please respect copyright.PENANA9pIRQcerjh
587Please respect copyright.PENANA0xNwX9o3E4
是真的很想沒錯啦!587Please respect copyright.PENANAxghv0vOJFB
587Please respect copyright.PENANAzZcwcbROm3
但是你也太奇怪了吧!587Please respect copyright.PENANA9SPu9hKfe9
587Please respect copyright.PENANAbGwbmiAVQt
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?587Please respect copyright.PENANAIrErush2i2
587Please respect copyright.PENANAadVUN9AO99
「……確實如您所說,我是該回去了。」587Please respect copyright.PENANACwVPvhUpGo
587Please respect copyright.PENANA36sp9a6EwQ
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANADadTSWdk3K
587Please respect copyright.PENANAHYiloInIFt
「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?」587Please respect copyright.PENANAV45BaWxRFL
587Please respect copyright.PENANAsanPgvM5IP
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?587Please respect copyright.PENANAXfYBlBdbcm
587Please respect copyright.PENANAGVM9uQYqyW
「沒問題,那麼若要約時間,這一次可以把消息到萬藥釀造嗎?」587Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ9sXxFhJp
587Please respect copyright.PENANAuGnR4wvOWL
「這次自然沒問題,我會派人去萬藥釀造送邀請函的。」587Please respect copyright.PENANAqnPx2MtLCm
587Please respect copyright.PENANAqzLUBJhpPT
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。587Please respect copyright.PENANAEIMvNol3rh
587Please respect copyright.PENANA6yOesOrHWn
不過這時候鮑爾突然走到我面前對我伸手。587Please respect copyright.PENANAEtdSXBWiEl
587Please respect copyright.PENANA7wMgK3qCzd
「那麼,我先預祝小姐能夠與我有一個暢快的詳談,可以嗎?」587Please respect copyright.PENANAxrIlcerXUK
587Please respect copyright.PENANA5YDAMwtTRL
有點懶得再和他說話,我直接與他握手表示我的同意。587Please respect copyright.PENANA78rqNoJpLM
587Please respect copyright.PENANAStgHP8ZdOC
但沒想到他拉著我突然間給我一個擁抱!587Please respect copyright.PENANABcJNzHHZnU
587Please respect copyright.PENANAPYISuTjt1A
喂!隨便亂來的話你會被……?587Please respect copyright.PENANAB1KqKqqLQJ
587Please respect copyright.PENANAQXopsyPXMm
我的種族被動、怎麼……587Please respect copyright.PENANAALswvUIT3m
587Please respect copyright.PENANAdeUHZd0xNu
沒發動?587Please respect copyright.PENANATqWbC7evdL
