Vol 2 Chapter 1320: Cooperation, conjecture

On the occasion of the joint performance of the two elves, the flowers in the flower garden began to sway slightly with their melody.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo didn't know whether he should sigh that the elves could play, or whether he should feel sorry for being wasted an afternoon!
But fortunately, the concerts of the two elves did not last. At first, Orips could keep up with Tove’s rhythm, but later it may be that he was not familiar with the music and could no longer keep up with Tove’s rhythm. NS.
After discovering this situation, Tove also lost interest in continuing to sing.
But from Tove’s expression, Chateau could see that the other party still had some ideas. Chateau did not want an informal meeting to become a private concert for the other party, so he quickly changed the subject:
"Ms. Tove, I heard Patriarch Orips mention that you came to Savile to investigate the truth about Ryan's death? If you need help, please feel free to speak up."
In fact, until now, Xia Duo has obtained most of the information he wants to know, and the rest of the information that he doesn't know will be difficult to know if he continues to use this method.
It is better to end the meeting as soon as possible and go back to discuss with Niya.
Sure enough, when Xia Duo talked about the purpose of Tove's trip, Tove's expression quickly turned cold, "Humans are really impatient! Boring!"
That was the case, but Xia Duo didn't hear the meaning of anger from the other party's tone, and more of the discomfort caused by the interruption of interest.
Of course, it is also the real intention of the other party to complain about the human being's impatience.
"I have already investigated, but Ryan died at the hands of drow and has nothing to do with the Savile collar. But I have another thing to come—"
Speaking of this, Tove turned his attention to Oripps who was aside, "I didn't expect the Silver Leaf family to be so bold that they would smuggle spices with humans!"
As soon as he said this, Orips's slender ears trembled and his body began to tremble, but his only courage still supported him standing here, and subconsciously cast a glance at Xia Duo for help.
Xia Duo sighed in her heart, before others had said anything, you were persuaded. If you really met someone who came to investigate the smuggling, wouldn't you just collapse to the ground in fright?
In fact, fans of the Oripps authorities immediately panicked after the treason was pointed out, but Chateau realized that Tove did not actually mean to ask the guilt.
On the contrary, there is a sense of watching a joke!
Whose joke? It's impossible for humans, but you can't watch the jokes of the Silver Leaf family, right?
If Tove is an ordinary elf, this might be possible, but for Tove, who was born from a famous sect and is very likely to become a high-level mage, watching the jokes of the Silver Leaf Family is somewhat too low-level fun.
Then it is to watch Comanso's joke.
The upper family and the Mian Wang are not necessarily of the same heart. This is already an open secret that all parties have seen and cannot tell. Smuggling damages the interests of many related families, but more importantly, it damages the majesty of the Mian Wang.
For a time, Xia Duo's brain made up a lot, for example, the Moon Crown family was very dissatisfied with King Comanso's thousand-year rule, and wanted to make trouble.
And now, maybe it just saw the opportunity.
This kind of speculation made Xia Duo feel more excited, and at the same time he decided to add a fire in it. He walked between Tove and Orips, and blocked Tove's joking and scrutinizing eyes for Orips. Welcomed up:
"Could it be that the Moon Crown family is also interested in the spice business?"
Xia Duo didn't talk about smuggling, as if he was talking about a normal business. "With the position of the Moon Crown family in Comanso, do you still care about this benefit?"
Hearing this, Tove was visibly stunned, but she quickly reacted and smiled, "There are times when the upper family is short of money!"
"So, do we have a chance to cooperate?"
"Of course, apart from this time, there are still more opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
At the same time, Orips, who had just been frightened and disoriented, was relieved at this moment. Hearing that Xia Duo had reached an agreement with Tove in such a simple way, he almost dropped his jaw.
"Two, two—"
"Patriarch Orips, relax, Ms. Tove didn't mean to ask the guilt." Xia Duo comforted.
"me-"
For a while, Orips still couldn't react. He still couldn't understand why the upper family supported smuggling for money.
However, this situation now seems to be the ideal state he once envisioned.
In the past, didn't he just want to find an upper family to endorse smuggling? Now he has it, but it's too easy to get it, so he is so concerned about gains and losses.
Xia Duo wouldn't be too worried. Even if the smuggling was discovered, he wouldn't do it in the future. At most, he would lose a little money. It was nothing, but he could understand Orips.
…
After deciding on the initial cooperation intentions, Tove did not continue to stay, but left a sentence that would send family members over to supervise and assist in this matter, and then left directly.
Xia Duo guessed that the other party might have other things, and came here just to drop by.
However, Xia Duo always had doubts in her initial excuses for investigating the truth about Ryan's death, but the other party covered it up very well, and he couldn't get more information.
It wasn't a big deal at all, Ryan's family had already died under Zall, and his family had an old Lunar Dew Rose family and did not issue any investigation commissions.
Perhaps this was just an excuse that Tove thought of temporarily.
…
After returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo did not go to other places, but went straight to Niya's study.
Niya has been paying attention to Xia Duo's itinerary, even if she did not directly use detection spells against the other party in order to avoid misunderstandings by the Comanso investigator, she was monitoring Xia Duo's movement trajectory from a distance.
Here Xia Duo has been to the Tower of Time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Niya has already known. Seeing Xia Duo come to the study at this moment, she couldn't wait to ask her most concerned question:
"are you OK?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, the conversation went smoothly without any conflict."
Hearing that there was no conflict, Niya immediately relaxed, and then asked:
"Then what is the real purpose of the other party? Is it true that it is to investigate the so-called truth behind the death of an ordinary elf?"
Regarding this question, Chateau thought about it for a while, and then expressed his own conjecture, "It may be for the spice smuggling business that cooperated with Lord Collins, or it may have other purposes, such as testing me for Netheril. Attitudes and wins I lean towards Comanso, or simply vote for Comanso."
Judging from the potential information hidden in Tove's words, the other party did have the meaning of wooing, but Chateau knew very well that Comanso could not have room for his development, and would only be used as a tool in the past.
Therefore, he didn't understand Tove's temptation, anyway, what he showed was that he could only speak standard Elvish language, and the underlying information had nothing to do with standard Elvish language.
