On the Seven Towers

"Sir... maybe I can privately suggest that City Lord Angulo come here once." Borlando suggested softly.

Miliana rolled her eyes, "Huh? Do you think he will accept this favor?"

"Naturally, he has been cornered by Mr. Polidaro in the past two days. If he can see a chance of redemption from you, he will not be stupid enough to give up. Moreover, this is all his own actions, you When the time comes, we just need to abide by the plan we made at the beginning and provide him with some guarantees if he pays enough benefits. I think that Mr. Polidaro will not directly touch your face. "

"He has already gained enough, so there is no reason to continue to be greedy. If he has any grievances in his heart, he can go to Lord Dominic, the commander of the city."

"And there may be another benefit to wooing Angulo. I heard a news that Angulo's family may have half a bottle of diluted world tree sap..."

"What did you say? The sap of the World Tree?" Milanna's breathing quickened.

"Yes. You know...the sap of the World Tree is the best healing medicine. Although their bottle of sap is diluted, the effect is definitely still amazing. I don't know if it is still better than other alchemical potions. How many times?" Borlando said.

Miliana's tone immediately became serious, "Why are you saying this to me?"

Borlando lowered his head and said: "Sir, I am not inquiring into your private affairs, but in the list of alchemy materials you asked me to collect, there are many materials that have never been purchased. The priest in charge of alchemy under me told me that It can only be used to make high-level healing potions with ancient formulas. However, many of the materials have lost their sources nowadays and are extremely difficult to collect. But I think you need these materials. In the final analysis, you still need to make the wound medicine. With the World Tree. The juice must be better than any kind of medicine."

Miliana looked at him with suspicious eyes and asked: "Even the Natural Temple only has a very small amount of reserves in some temples, and I have no chance to get the sap of the World Tree. Angulo is just a Sulugaya City Lord. Why is there such a thing?”

"Do you still remember Angulo's slightly pointed ears? He is a half-elf with thin blood. Although the elven blood has degraded a lot, the mother of one of his ancestors has a high status in the elven kingdom. , I got a rumor from some secret channels a long time ago. The ancestor of Angulo was in poor health when he was a child and almost died. His father and mother spent a lot of money in exchange for a few drops of World Tree from the elves. The sap was then mixed with water brewed from various expensive healing herbs to obtain a bottle of diluted world tree sap. The ancestor only used half of it when he was a child, and the remaining illness was cured. The half bottle is kept as a treasure. Their family has taught that this bottle of world tree sap can only be taken out when it is necessary to preserve the family's continuation. Isn't it the right time?"

"Since it is such a big secret, how do you know so clearly?" Miliana looked at him coldly.

"Angulo had an uncle who was a prodigal son. He accidentally learned this secret. He once wanted to steal this bottle of juice and sell it to my father, the previous chief priest of this temple. But before he could take action, Angulo was killed. His father silenced him. Although my father knew the news, he was unwilling to cause trouble for their family, because the Assassin of Light, Kiros, was still on good terms with Angulo's father. Naturally, my father would not take the risk. It's a risk to offend a saint to inquire about this, but the situation is very different now. You have good reasons to ask him to donate this bottle of sap."

Miliana narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Borlando for a while, and said, "You are a little nervous."

"No one can remain calm under your gaze. After all, this is just a rumor, and I am worried about disappointing you. But after all, this is just an added benefit. Even if the news is untrue, he will pay other prices. I will hint Many people of his have already known the news, and he will understand that only handing over this bottle of World Tree juice is the best protection for him."

"Huh, I don't know if it's true or not."

"You must have been exposed to the breath of the World Tree, right? By then, you will be able to tell the authenticity of things by yourself." Borlando said.

"Then, go ahead and do this. You can do it quickly, lest Polidaro does something bad in a hurry." Moriana continued to give instructions in a calm tone.

"Yes." Borlando nodded in agreement.

"What's going on with that guy Agurto?" Miliana asked.

"He has been active in the surrounding villages and towns... It's just..." Borlando paused, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Just tell me what's going on."

"The surrounding town and three villages can no longer bear the actions of Mr. Agurto. People who are fleeing are starting to appear in the city."

"What's going on? I heard that he was just venting a few days ago, but he actually went to the point of forcing people to flee?" Miliana asked curiously.

"Earlier, the villagers could tolerate some of the things Saint Aguerto did, but recently he started to collect wealth, and now many people have died. I'm afraid that if this continues, it will damage the reputation of the sacred city and the natural temple. It has a very bad impact," Borlando said.

Miliana frowned and said: "They must be playing the same tricks as Polidaro, but Agurto is much rougher."

"If it was in some remote place, it would be fine, but the news spreads quickly between the southern city-states. If more than a dozen people died, we can still put the hat of the remnants of false gods on their heads, and kill them. But if it goes on like this, people will find it hard to believe that there are so many remnants of false gods, and it will be difficult to even cover it up." Borlando said in a deep voice.

"What do you think about this matter?"

"If it is convenient for you, you can leave me a message as a token. I can remind Lord Aguerto. It is better to invite him to come. You can warn him in person. What do you think?"

"Okay." Milliana took out a phonograph crystal from the storage ring, said a few words to it, and then threw it to Borlando.

"I will definitely handle these things for you."

"You can leave, and help me clean the bed by the way." Milliana said.

Borlando finally dared to look up at the bed at this time. There was a handsome young man lying between the quilts, but he was looking at the ceiling with his eyes open. He had already died.

This is the fifth one, Borlando thought, no one will live to see the next morning. But he said, "I will help you clean up the room right away."
