"Of course not." Seeing that Leo seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Frank Forson immediately explained: "I have learned about Jason's situation. He has a strong talent. Before coming here, in a regular meeting

He has already been included on the training list..."

"Wait a minute, don't you think the conditions you offered are a bit strange?" Leo interrupted Frank Forson and said with a chuckle: "Jason seems to have been trained to serve your special bureau, but you use this as a

The terms of trading with me are like using my things to cultivate talents for you, and I don’t seem to see any benefit."

"At least you can get some reliable friends." Frank Fussen flashed a look of embarrassment, coughed twice, and said.

Frank Forson's current mood is extremely embarrassing. Even if he had expected that such a situation would happen in advance, when things came to pass and he was asked by Leo like this, he still wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but in his heart

In addition to being embarrassed, what's more, I feel extremely resentful towards the guy who came up with such a bad idea.

Although Frank Fossen is the director of the Special Bureau and seems to have great power, in fact his power is limited to a combat team under his command. Because the Special Bureau has great authority, Congress, in order to prevent the Special Bureau from becoming a dominant force,

So they set up some branches within the Special Bureau.

These branches are not subordinate to the director of the special bureau, but to the Congress. In this way, the power of the director of the special bureau is greatly weakened. Sometimes it is not as good as the head of a branch department. In general, the director of the special bureau

More like a mascot that can act as a deterrent.

After learning about Leo's strength from various channels, the top-level internal meeting participants of the Special Bureau agreed that they should not conflict with Leo, but should instead win over him.

This decision was not only based on Leo's own strength, but more importantly, Leo's clean net worth and status as a retired soldier made everyone present think that Leo was a patriot and worth paying some price to win over.

However, in the subsequent discussion with Leo about what conditions should be set for the pharmaceutical transaction, the participants in the meeting became different.

Those who are loyal to the royal family feel that Leo should be loyal to the royal family from Leo's past actions. After all, he even recovered the Poseidon Scepter, so if Leo can successfully become a collaborator of the Special Bureau

, it can also increase the royal family's influence within the Special Bureau in disguise, so their proposal is to offer Leo extremely generous trading conditions.

After seeing the proposal from the royal family, the people from the parliamentary group naturally thought of the other party's plan. Just like the royal family's speculation, the parliamentary group also felt that Leo seemed to be closer to the royal family. Although, they also felt that Leo seemed to be closer to the royal family.

The wizard potion refined by Ou was very interested, but they did not want Leo to really become a collaborator of the Special Bureau, because in that case, most of the people who were cured by the wizard potion would be grateful to Leo.

, thus changing the camp.

Therefore, when discussing the terms of the transaction, the King's faction tried their best to obstruct the matter. Taking advantage of the King's faction's numerical advantage and citing financial constraints, they gradually erased the originally formulated transaction conditions. If it had not been already done at the previous meeting,

After passing the decision that the wizard's potion must be traded, they might have excluded Leo from the list of collaborators.

In this way, when the task of negotiating the pharmaceutical deal with Leo fell into the hands of Frank Fussen, the bottom line of the above conditions was already pitiful. Let alone Leo, even when Frank Fussen saw this condition at first sight

, all thought this was nonsense.

It's a pity that this nonsense transaction condition was actually passed at the meeting. If it weren't for the fact that there were no other more suitable negotiators within the Special Bureau, Frank Forson would have turned around and left at that time. It was precisely because of his sense of responsibility.

This puts him in an embarrassing situation now.

Leo couldn't help but have the urge to laugh when he saw Frank Fossen saying such ridiculous conditions so confidently, because he also saw that Frank Fossen had to say these words forcefully, and it was definitely not his.

His original intention was that he could also deduce that the power struggle within the Special Bureau had reached the bottom of ridiculousness.

Therefore, he did not ask Frank Forson again, but turned to the old wizard and asked: "Do you think I should accept this condition offered by the Special Bureau?"

"Acceptable." The old wizard gave an unexpected answer. This answer not only surprised Leo, but also Frank Forson. He looked at the old wizard in confusion, wondering why the other party would speak for him.

.

However, the two of them soon understood that the old wizard was not helping the Special Bureau at all, or that he was not helping the Special Bureau's congressional faction. They only heard him continue: "You can actually buy the potion from the Special Bureau."

Ministry of Supervision, I believe they should be willing to pay enough..."

"No!" Before the old wizard could finish speaking, Frank Forson immediately interrupted the old wizard's last words and glared at the old wizard fiercely. He did not want his efforts to benefit the royal family in the end.

Although as the director of the Special Bureau, he has always stood on the neutral side and never intervened in any battles within the Special Bureau, but he is very clear that with the return of the Poseidon Scepter to the royal family, the royal family's prestige has increased day by day. According to

If this trend continues, the influence of the royal family in the Special Bureau may soon exceed that of Congress. By then, many things he does not want to see may happen, so he must avoid situations that break the balance within the Special Bureau.

This is also the reason why he agreed to come and discuss the potion deal with Leo.

However, after stopping the old wizard, Frank Forson was in a difficult situation again, because he simply could not come up with exciting conditions to persuade Leo to sell the wizard potion to the Special Bureau.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.

However, Frank Fussen soon seemed to have thought of something and said, "I have something that you may be interested in that can be used as a trading item."

"What item?" Leo seemed to have been waiting for Frank Forson's words and responded immediately.

In fact, Leo had already thought about selling wizard healing potions to the Special Bureau before, but he could never find a suitable opportunity.

As Leo continued to accumulate wizard knowledge, he was also able to refine various wizard potions, and his alchemy abilities also improved rapidly. He could already easily refine potions such as wizard healing potions.

Already.

However, in order to avoid disrupting the market and causing the price of wizard healing potions to fall, he did not sell all the refined wizard healing potions to the black market, but only sold a very small part, only five or six bottles at a time, and the rest

More than twenty bottles were collected by himself.

After several months of accumulation, Leo already had hundreds of bottles of wizard healing potions on hand. A small amount of these potions were placed in the safe of the apartment, and the rest were placed in the storage space. Leo carried them with him in case he needed them.

It can be used when.

However, Leo has recently discovered that as his strength begins to increase, there are fewer places where wizard potions can be used, and because of the increase in life level, the effect of wizard potions on him is no longer very great.

For this reason, Leo also had the idea of ​​​​selling these wizard healing potions. Besides the black market, the best buyers in the Kingdom of England are naturally the Special Bureau and the royal family, so now he is negotiating with Frank Forson and Wizard Otto.

The pharmaceutical transaction was exactly what he wanted.

Although judging from the performance of the royal family, it is no longer a big problem to reach a deal with the royal family, but it is not in his interest to just sell the medicine to the royal family. He also needs a rival to the royal family to appear, and this is how he is now

A conversation with Frank Forson.

However, Leo expected that the transaction items brought out by the special bureau would not be pure money, but something of other value.

The Special Bureau of the Kingdom of England was established very early. It was initially founded by a few palace knights. With subsequent development, it has now become the third force besides the royal family and parliament.

After so many years, the Special Bureau must have collected a large number of special items, and Leo is very interested in these items, so even if Frank Forson just made a good offer, as long as there is nothing he wants in the conditions,

Then he would also choose to leave Frank Forson aside.

"Based on our investigation of your Excellency, we found that you seem to be very interested in knowledge," Frank Fussen was extremely confident. He felt that it would not be difficult for him to convince Leo, so he straightforwardly told them about their investigation and surveillance.

came out, and then continued: "I believe that you are definitely interested in this item. I wonder if you have heard of the god Eternal Wisdom?"

Hearing Frank Forson's words, Leo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because it was such a coincidence that during the day, he and Bai Lu talked about the fallen god Eternal Wisdom, but at night, someone actually mentioned this god again, which made Leo couldn't help but

I wonder if this was arranged secretly by Bai Lu.

Frank Forson didn't know what Leo was thinking. When he saw that Leo hadn't asked for a long time, he understood that Leo already knew the existence of this ancient god, so he continued, saying: "According to legend, this person of eternal wisdom is

The gods possess all the knowledge of the world, and this knowledge involves the deepest mysteries of the world."

"Do you have a way for me to get this wisdom?" Leo asked with interest.

"Of course it's impossible. No one in the world can withstand the knowledge of eternal wisdom, and there is no way for me to transfer the wisdom of a god to you." Frank Forson shook his head, but changed the topic and said: "But

, I can let you possess part of the knowledge of eternal wisdom.”

Before Leo could ask what he had to do to obtain some knowledge of eternal wisdom, the old wizard on the side said in surprise: "Frank, you are too bold. Even if you are the director of the Special Bureau, you have no right to use that knowledge."

thing."

"Yes, I am indeed not qualified to use that thing," Frank Fussen nodded, acknowledging the old wizard's statement, but added: "But don't forget, according to my past achievements, I should have one

If I have the opportunity to use that thing, I can completely transfer this opportunity to Mr. Leo."

The old wizard shook his head and said: "This is not possible. There is no precedent. Neither the Congress nor the royal family will agree."

"No, there is a precedent for this. Don't forget Talkative Peter." Frank Forson retorted and reminded the old wizard.

Hearing this, Leo already vaguely understood what Frank Forson was talking about. After all, in the Kingdom of England, the story about Talking Peter had already become a household name and became a must-have bed for every family.

Head book.

In this story, Smooth-talking Peter was just a stuttering and stupid groom at first, but by chance, he saved the life of the palace minister at the time. The palace minister hoped to repay him and asked him what reward he wanted.

, he replied that he hoped to stop stuttering and become smarter.

After learning about Peter's wish, the palace minister decided to give Peter the opportunity to meet the gods and receive revelation from the gods. So Peter got the opportunity and successfully met the gods, and

Under the influence of divine revelation, he became the smartest person and the most eloquent person in the Kingdom of England.

If the story reaches this point, it can barely be regarded as a short story in which good is rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil, but in fact the story is not over. After the talkative Peter became smart, he could easily discover some secrets from other people's words.

And after he discovered these secrets, he couldn't keep them secrets. Instead, in order to show that he had a eloquent tongue, he told the secrets.

At first, these secrets were just private matters between servants and maids, but then he revealed more and more secrets, and the identities of those involved became higher and higher. In the end, even the king was involved.

.

The result of the matter was naturally that before the smart-mouthed Peter discovered and revealed more secrets, the king ordered him to be executed, and the person who executed the execution order happened to be the palace minister whom the smart-talking Peter saved back then.

At the end of the story, the palace minister asked Clever-talking Peter what his last wish was, and Clever-talking Peter told the palace minister that he wanted to go back to the stupid, stuttering groom he was at the beginning.

Leo has always thought that this was just a fable, but now through the conversation between the two, Leo discovered that this story may be true, and the divine revelation in the story made the talkative Peter become smart and eloquent.

, it should be part of the eternal wisdom mentioned by Frank Forson.

Frank Forson said at this time: "The Special Bureau once inadvertently obtained an artifact of eternal wisdom. As long as you touch this artifact, you can obtain divine revelation. How much divine revelation you can obtain depends on each person's own ability.

Some people can become as smart as Talking Peter, and some people can get nothing at all."
