"That's right! Mr. Lelouch, you are refreshing and courageous. I like your personality."
Jefferson walked in and said to Lelouch with appreciation. At this moment, Isabella did not show any intention to blame Jefferson. Anyway, now that Lelouch has seen through some things, there is no point in continuing to act. Since this If a young aristocratic boy wants to have a frank talk, why not just let him have his way.
In a flash, Isabella called a maid to give some instructions, and soon a middle-aged man in a robe came in with compliments. He quickly set up a soundproof barrier in the room and then the mage left again.
Although he did not wear a emblem about the magic level of the mage, Lelouch could roughly feel that the level of this mage was probably above level ten. He summoned a mage and gave him instructions as if he were a servant. This self-proclaimed 'Gourmet Club' The mysterious force is stronger than I imagined.
But even so, Lelouch didn't have any worries or rather looked down upon him, because besides himself, Isabella and another member of the Nothing Club, there was a fourth person in the room. But Isabella and others were not aware of this person's existence at all.
Isabella and Jefferson, who were unaware of this, were greatly impressed by Lelouch's performance and secretly exchanged glances. In the eyes of the two of them, not to mention whether there is really an unimaginably powerful force behind him as the rumors say, the fact that he can be so calm and composed in this situation alone is worth mentioning. People were in awe.
You must know that sometimes no matter how much strength a person has behind him, if there is no real confirmation, then everything is just a reflection in the mirror. Who knows whether you are really powerful or a bluff? Maybe someone will try it without fear of evil. Try you.
With the power of the ring of 'Sincere Deception', in the eyes of Isabella and Jefferson, Lelouch was just an ordinary human being, without any power or any magic fluctuations. If I have to say it, there are some families on the mainland who only know how to cultivate the martial arts and magic abilities of their descendants. Lelouch must be 100% trash in the eyes of the family owner.
Fortunately, this young man seems to come from a business-oriented family, and judging from his performance in the free city, his talent has been confirmed, and he should be highly valued in the family, otherwise he would not There is a house owner who would let his child run away to a free city alone with priceless goods.
"Okay, since we all want to have a frank meeting, why don't Miss Isabella introduce you to the gentleman next to you?"
"Aha~ I almost forgot! Come! Let me introduce you to Mr. Jefferson, one of the chefs of this club!" Isabella introduced with a smile.
Jefferson nodded and greeted Lelouch very proudly but without any arrogance: "Nice to meet you. Sir Lelouch."
"Chef?" Lelouch looked at Jefferson with an incomprehensible look: "So tonight's dinner was prepared by you, Mr. Jefferson?"
"I wonder if it suits your taste?"
"very delicious."
After they exchanged some polite words to ease the atmosphere, Lelouch cleared his throat and got to the point: "Miss Isabella, please tell me, what do you want from me, and what can I do?" What do you get in return from your club?"
Isabella quietly tapped Jefferson with her finger to signal him to stop talking. Knowing that his negotiation skills were not good, Jefferson calmed down knowingly. Isabella thought quickly and then said: "Since Lu Sir Lu Xiu wants to know, so I will tell you straight away┉┉ Among the goods you brought to Free City, there is a very rare medicinal material that we urgently need. Our club hopes to purchase this medicinal material in large quantities, and of course the price is guaranteed. I can satisfy you, Lord Lelouch."
"Medicine? Which kind of medicine?"
Isabella felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "That...actually I don't know the exact scientific name of this medicinal material."
Lelouch couldn't help but was stunned and chuckled. The other party actually wanted to buy medicinal materials that even they themselves didn't know the name of.
The corner of Jefferson's mouth also twitched, he stood up and gestured, then quickly walked out. In less than five minutes, Jefferson came back with a plant that was light blue from the rhizome, leaves to flowers. After placing it in front of Lelouch, Jefferson sat back down next to Isabella. Lelouch picked up the medicinal material and looked at it. The whole plant showed a strange cold feeling, and it was as magical as holding a piece of ice in his hand. When setting off from Ulduar City, I carried a variety of things. Lelouch, who had just arrived in another world not long ago, could not fully understand what he was carrying. At most, he could only hastily glance at the report provided by Yalin. I have a preliminary understanding of the estimated prices of various goods, and I only have a partial understanding of their functions and effects. However, Lelouch could feel the strong frost breath from the medicinal materials brought by Jefferson. It was indeed a breath that could only be found in the forest of mist.
"This is this kind of herb, Sir Lelouch. It's just that we haven't been able to find the scientific name of this plant until now. I don't know if it is a brand new species..." Isabella said to Lelouch.
Brand new category! Isabella's guess was indeed correct. The origin of this plant was a plant mutated by Yalin's talent [Gift of the White Dragon King]. Many plants and animals in the Mist Forest are affected by this. Because the emergence of new species has brought some unprecedented new powers, the furs of some animals and various plants have become brand-new pharmaceutical materials and forging materials, resulting in a surge in demand for many pharmacists and blacksmiths. It is precisely because of this demand that the Kingdom of Saxony repeatedly prohibits poaching and digging by outside mercenaries and adventurers in the Forest of Mist. On the contrary, the more it is prohibited, the more it causes the market price to rise and attract more adventurers to take risks.
In the city of Ulduar, Yalin has already asked the Elf Apothecary to collect many new plants for experiments and recording and classification. Some of the herbs unearthed by outside adventurers and mercenaries were only slightly affected plants on the periphery of the Mist Forest. Plants deep in the Mist Forest, especially in the Crystallized Forest, were the most affected. There were so many types that the Elf Pharmacist couldn't record all the experiments at one time. For this reason, Yalin simply took advantage of Lelouch's trip to the Free City to get a lot of samples for Lelouch to take with him to see how these new plants work. How is the response in secular markets.
Putting the medicinal materials back on the table, Lelouch asked tentatively: "So, Miss Isabella, what price do you plan to pay for it?"
Isabella smiled confidently: "If Mr. Lelouch is willing to provide supply, this club plans to purchase it at this price┉┉"
I have to say that Isabella did give Lelouch a price that made Lelouch very satisfied. At the same time, Isabella gave Lelouch more attractive guarantees. Being the highest-level member of the Food Club can not only enjoy On the way to the latest market intelligence news, Jefferson also hinted that the maid that Lelouch loved so much during the dinner could also become Lelouch's personal property. Of course, in addition to this, Isabella and Jefferson also have a heavyweight trump card. If Lelouch can show greater value in the future, then the two of them may also play this trump card.
All the conditions are very tempting, but for Lelouch, these are not what he needs now. Well, the only thing that is of some use is probably the sharing of market intelligence. But judging from the situation of this club, enjoying other people's intelligence He also has to share his intelligence from time to time, which is not very comfortable for Lelouch who likes to hide in the dark and rely on strategies to defeat the enemy.
"I have to say that Isabella and Mr. Jefferson, the terms you offered are very tempting, but I'm sorry that I can't agree to you now."
Isabella and Jefferson were not in a hurry, but continued to listen patiently to Lelouch.
Lelouch continued with a tactful tone: "First of all, the medicinal materials I brought are just samples. The purpose is to put them on the market to see the effect. Now I have no stock in hand."
"You have got the effect you want, Sir Lelouch! I can guarantee that our food club will purchase a large amount of this medicinal material. At the same time, we can also help you promote the excess to ensure that we can help you open sales channels." Isa Bella said with a sweet smile. In fact, according to a series of experiments, this medicinal material contains certain effects that are urgently needed in the club. The 'store manager' has already said that no matter how much there is, it will be needed, even if it is not needed for a while. Finally, a large amount of this medicinal material should be stored to meet urgent needs.
Signaling Isabella to continue listening to him, Lelouch said with an elegant smile: "Secondly, there is one more thing, that is, my purpose in coming to Free City is to take root and establish my own foundation here. , all the goods I brought are just the capital for starting a business, selling these goods in large quantities is not my main task, so you two please understand. "
Hearing what Lelouch said, Isabella and Jefferson couldn't help but frown. This medicinal material is something that the 'store manager' is determined to get. Even if Lelouch cannot provide it, he must find out about this medicinal material. Source, if you can't buy it from Lelouch, then just negotiate directly with the mysterious force behind Lelouch.
