Chapter 208 Unethical Business(2/2)
"Seems to be?"
Gray Linte glanced at Carol suspiciously, wondering where she got the information.
Maybe she noticed his doubtful gaze, and Carol explained smoothly:
"When I first came to the Southern Continent, after I left Behrens Port, my first stop was Kuwa, and then there was a 'faceless man' from the Secret Order who set his sights on me... At first, he just wanted to take care of himself.
He became handsome and wanted to seduce me into taking the initiative. Oh, later he even wanted to use his extraordinary ability to attack me directly..."
Gray Linte raised his eyebrows and heard her continue:
"...Before killing him, I checked the part of his memory that he was most concerned about, and then I happened to see one of his investigation results, which was about Sideville Tea Shop, but he was actually not very sure about it.
.”
So that’s it. Gray Linte nodded thoughtfully and asked casually:
"What about that guy? Did you kill him later?"
She nodded and replied angrily:
"The extraordinary properties of the 'Faceless Man' that Eudora took originally belonged to him."
It turns out that this is the case. Before, Glaint knew that Carol intended to cultivate Eudora, and thought that she specially invited the angels who might exist in the "Hermit of Destiny" to help her crush the "Secret Puppet Master" trait. Unexpectedly, it turned out that
That's another "Faceless Man" trait.
This is much easier than inviting an angel.
He glanced at Carol in surprise, and had to admit that he had underestimated her before... At least she was good at "decisiveness" - the kind of person who uses beauty to seduce the opposite sex in an attempt to have a relationship.
If the "faceless men" were directly beaten to death, no one would be unjustly accused. Rosag was far more ethical than them.
While chatting and walking, the two of them soon arrived at Soubry Street.
Sidewell Tea Shop's main business is the retail sale of tea leaves from the Northern Continent, among which Fenebote's tea leaves are the largest. It is indeed very likely that it is Bellakos's secret line. However, Glerint soon got into trouble.
If he didn't know the slogan of the joint, if he acted rashly, he would probably alert the snake. Moreover, he came with a "deal" attitude and was not willing to turn against Bellakos.
After thinking for a while, Gray Lint considered the extraordinary methods of himself and Carol, and discussed in a low voice:
"In this way, let's build a 'correlation' like we did with Rupert before, and then I'll try to communicate with their store manager first. You can take the opportunity to check his thoughts, and then tell me directly... If it doesn't work, we'll consider channeling directly.
.”
He can release an angel-level "bribery-charm" in the "Duke of Entropy" position, and the possibility of successful direct communication is still quite high.
Carol nodded and added in a low voice:
"After all, he is the informant of the demigod. There is a high possibility that he is an extraordinary person with a high level. It should be impossible for a living person to succeed in channeling. Apart from killing him, he can directly communicate with the real spirit body... But this
Doesn't meet your needs.
If necessary, I can briefly parasitize him deeply and directly read all his memories."
Gray Lint remembered some of the limitations of "parasitism", so he shook his head and said:
"That's not necessary. Even if I can't get this material, I still have other ways. You don't need to take such risks."
As he spoke, he took out a gold coin that was originally used for divination and handed it to Carol, completing a low-level "correlation" - this could only be used by Carol to express some of her thoughts.
Throw it to him, but it is enough for use. The "connection" at the angel level is powerful, but when the time comes, the ideas of both parties will interfere with each other, which is not practical.
Hearing this, Carol's eyes flashed, and she neither spoke nor gave him an idea directly. Instead, she nodded quietly, followed him, and walked into the tea shop in small steps.
Gray Lint's majesty was easy to control. When facing ordinary clerks, he simply gave up asking. Instead, he mobilized a bit of majesty to attach to himself and asked arrogantly:
"Is your store manager here?"
"I want to negotiate a big deal with him."
Although the clothes were modest and there were no servants accompanying him, with this arrogant posture and the majesty he specially added, the clerk had no doubts and believed that no matter what his purpose was, his identity was at least not simple, so he bowed slightly.
, replied politely:
"A new batch of tea arrived early this morning, and the store manager is still counting it in the warehouse... If you are not in a hurry, you might as well go to the reception room on the second floor to sit for a while and taste our store's most classic Fenebote Holy Mountain Black Tea..."
In this world, Fenebote, who believes in the Mother Goddess of the Earth, is the highest authority in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and Fenebote Holy Mountain is the most noble holy place in the hearts of Fenebote people... no matter what agricultural products
, forestry resources, as long as the name of this mountain is attached, the price will not just rise, but the price will easily increase several times, and at the same time, it will be sought after by many rich people and nobles.
"Sooner or later they will have to produce 'Feneport Holy Mountain Whale Oil'."
Gray Linte said "Yeah" with a nasal sound, complaining secretly in his heart.
But he also had to admit that the coffee named after this mountain was indeed really good. In the eyes of people who prefer coffee, it was simply a holy thing in the world... Carol liked it very much.
Of course, its price is also very unfriendly. It is so expensive that even a wealthy aristocrat like Gray Linte will feel distressed if there are many coffee drinkers in the house.
…………
Gray Lint prefers tea and has some experience in this.
After taking a small sip, he was completely sure that this was a "signature product". Although the quality was indeed good, it did not have the kind of quality that would subvert the taste buds and shock the mouth... Presumably, it was the agricultural and forestry products of the Holy Mountain of Feneport.
, demand exceeds supply for the nobles of the Northern Continent, and it is impossible to supply them in bulk to the Southern Continent no matter how hard you think.
Playing with a small jar of sample black tea in his hand, Gray Lint waited for the store manager of Sidewell, Parro James.
He was a middle-aged man with a simple temperament and an honest appearance. He was not as shrewd as an ordinary businessman at all... But just by buying fake tea, Gray Linte was able to determine what kind of "honest" he was. No.
As for being deceived by his appearance.
Seeing Parro James sitting down opposite them, he glanced at the two of them with a smile. When he was about to say something, Gray Linte glanced at the waiter who had retreated, and with a slight force, he covered the can of sample black tea.
On the table, he then flicked his index finger, pushed it towards Paro James, and said in a guest-oriented manner:
"Manager James, I heard that the tea you have here...is not very real. Well, I am also sure that at least there must be something wrong with the 'Feneport Holy Mountain Black Tea' you have here."
It seemed that he was chatting about tea and questioning the quality of the tea, but in fact, he started to accumulate that angel-level "bribery-charm" as early as the moment the other party came in. Sure enough, in this case, Paro James
Without any warning, he received the tea can that he pushed towards him... Suddenly, he wanted to get close to the young man in front of him for no reason, and even couldn't help but say:
"Well...it doesn't matter whether the tea is real or not. As long as the person who buys it thinks it's worth it, then there's no problem!"
"To say the least, even if the people who buy it taste it and think it's not worth it, they will still insist that our tea is good for the sake of face!"
"...There is a lot of fake tea here. Little brother, listen to me. Although this is true, as long as you don't say it and I don't say it, we can all make money together!"
"Besides, the origin of our tea leaves are not mislabeled... we just use some methods to accelerate the ripening. Drinking too much will have some side effects..."
How could there be such a shameless person!
Carol was dumbfounded when she heard this, and even Gray Linte couldn't help but his forehead twitched slightly...
