Chapter 898 Cooperation
That preaching mage of Life Muge is really a turtle!
After breakfast, Xia Pingan sat leisurely on the bench in the living room and looked at the "Brandy Daily" in his hand. Feeling the condition of the lucky boy, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart.
A whole night has passed, and the missionary mage of Life Muge is still lurking in the center of the swamp, carefully observing the surrounding environment, with no intention of leaving the swamp, for fear of stepping into the trap of the Investigation Bureau. This kind of patience is really hard to accept.
Xia Pingan can let him go. Anyway, that guy has been targeted by the God of Fortune. As soon as he comes out of the swamp, Xia Pingan will know.
The topic of the horror wax museum is still very popular in "Brandy Daily". Anyway, it is too easy for those reporters to find some topics from the wax museum, and this can ensure the sales of the newspaper.
Today is a rainy day in Keland. There is drizzle outside the living room window. After midnight last night, it started to rain in the whole city, and the temperature also dropped a lot.
In such weather, sitting in the living room after breakfast, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, next to the warm firelight from the fireplace burning wood, is extremely pleasant. Xia Ping'an has been there for a long time. It has never been so leisurely.
Mr. Coin kept his word, and there was no night watchman duty today.
There is also a bouquet of bright rose flowers in a vase on the table in the living room. This is a small gift from the next door neighbor, Mrs. Margaret.
Mrs. Margaret seemed to have gotten some useful information from Mrs. Caitlin. She knew that Xia Pingan's divination ability seemed to be much better than she thought. In the past two days, Mrs. Margaret had been showing her goodwill frequently, and she was very interested in Xia Pingan. The new neighbor suddenly became much more welcoming. Yesterday, Mrs. Margaret sent her a box of hazelnut biscuits baked by her.
Xia Pingan looked at the time on the watch on his hand. He wanted to go to Colander's library today. The treasure map of "The Treasure of the Blood Emperor" he got last time was very tempting, but Xia Pingan also He didn't know whether the picture was real or fake, so he wanted to go to the library to find some useful clues.
As far as Xia Pingan knows, there was indeed a man named Blood Emperor in this world thousands of years ago. He was a tyrant and a madman. His dream was to conquer the entire world. The Blood Emperor once established a kingdom called Otis on this continent. The powerful empire has collected countless treasures and world beads, and the Blood Emperor himself almost became a god.
Paradoxically, just when the Blood Emperor and his empire were reaching their peak to unify the continent, the Blood Emperor disappeared, and the countless treasures he collected also disappeared with him. The powerful Otis Empire also fell apart overnight. As a result, for thousands of years, various legends about the Blood Emperor have emerged in an endless stream.
If this treasure map is true, Xia Pingan feels that he can become a god once he can obtain the Blood Emperor's treasure and those world beads.
If this treasure map proves unreliable, Xia Pingan doesn't want to waste time on it.
only……
Xia Pingan felt that business would come to his office today, so he was hesitant, wondering if he would miss this visitor if he left.
Just when Xia Pingan was still hesitating, outside No. 169 Binhu Street, a gorgeous black carriage passed through the rain curtain on the street and stopped at the door.
The driver of the carriage was wearing a poncho. As soon as the carriage stopped, the driver got out of the carriage, opened a wide umbrella, stretched out his hand, and held a white-gloved arm that stretched out from the carriage. , then a woman wearing gold high heels and a purple mink coat got out of the car gracefully. The woman's face was covered by the mesh of the mesh wool hat she was wearing, making her look a little mysterious.
The woman walked to the door of the villa and was about to pull the bell. The door of the villa had already opened. Xia Pingan stood at the door and looked at her with a smile, "Ms. Helena, nice to meet you!"
"Ah, you knew I was coming?" Helena looked a little surprised.
"No, I just saw your carriage in the living room!" Xia Pingan asked Helena to enter the room.
As soon as Helena came in, she naturally took off her mink coat and hat. Xia Pingan took her coat and hat and hung them at the door for her.
"I heard from Kelly that you live in the office..." Helena looked at the furnishings of the office and asked Xia Pingan with a smile, "Are you the only one here?"
"In addition to me, there are also the coachman and servants I summoned, as well as a dog and a parrot. They all live here!" Xia Pingan said, and the messenger in green had already flown over and flew around Helena. Two circles, flying back and forth while shouting, "Hello, beautiful lady...Hello, beautiful lady..."
Helena looked at the green messenger, slightly surprised, "I have seen many people summoning parrots. The parrot you summoned seems to be a little different from other people's parrots. It seems to be more intelligent..."
"The things summoned by each summoner are more or less different!"
"The Scroll Master is such an enviable existence. One person is like a world..." Helena sighed with envy.
"Most of the Scroll Masters are actually just ordinary people who have mastered some special skills..." Xia Pingan said modestly, having already led Helena into the tea room used as a studio.
The aunt had brought the tea in skillfully, then closed the door of the tea room and left. Xia Pingan poured a cup of tea for Helena, "I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"
"I had a dream last night and I want to do some divination!" Helena said in a lazy tone.
"What dream?"
"I dreamed that I was cutting down a towering tree. I don't know what this dream means. I want to be better prepared!"
"Please close your eyes and let me see what that dream is like..."
Helena closed her eyes, Xia Pingan pointed at Helena's eyebrows, and after spending two points of divine power, Helena's dream appeared in front of Xia Pingan.
In the dream, Helena was holding an ax, like a woodcutter, cutting down a towering tree. In this dream, except for Helena and the towering tree, all other scenes were Like in the fog, not very clear.
As for why a beautiful lady cut down a tree in a dream and became a woodcutter, this is the wonder of dreams.
After observing the details of the dream clearly, Xia Pingan put away his dreaming skills, and Helena suddenly opened her eyes.
"How about it? Does this dream foretell something good or bad?" Helena asked directly.
Xia Pingan smiled slightly, "Madam, congratulations, this dream is a good omen!"
"Oh, what does the dream portend?"
"This dream indicates that you will soon obtain a huge fortune!"
Helena looked at Xia Pingan, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly laughed, her whole body suddenly became charming, "I feel relieved when you say that. If your divination comes true, I will give you another gift!"
"Madam, my fortune teller here charges normal fees, no additional expenses are required!"
"Oh, really, you are a Divine Scroll Master. Don't you also need the Boundary Pearl and the Divine Crystal?" Helena suddenly asked.
Xia Pingan's heart moved, "As a divine scroller, I will naturally need boundary beads and divine crystals. Helena, I think with our relationship, you can be more direct!"
"Well, I mean, we can cooperate, and then we can get what we each want!" Helena said suddenly.
"Oh, how to cooperate?" Xia Pingan suddenly became interested.
"From today on, your firm no longer needs to serve ordinary customers. You will serve as my personal consultant and only need to serve the guests I bring. Your services only include divination and detoxification. Every time you serve The reward is three hundred talers, two hundred points of divine crystal, plus a world bead, what do you think?"
Xia Pingan felt that this woman seemed to want to "support" him, but the "reward" proposed by this woman made Xia Pingan's heart beat. Not to mention money, it was just a divination and a detoxification technique that could be exchanged for a world bead and two hundred yuan. Divine Crystal, this "reward" was something he couldn't refuse. Xia Pingan even doubted whether there were any such customers who were willing to pay such a high price to let him perform two simple spells.
Xia Pingan thought for a moment, "Helena, your proposal is good and it makes me excited. This remuneration does seem to be much higher than my current income, but if you only bring one guest a year, this is not a good idea for me. It’s very detrimental!”
"You don't have to worry too much about this. I can promise you that I can introduce you to at least one such guest a month. I know all the ladies in the ladies' circle in Brandi Province. The resources I can mobilize are beyond yours." Imagine! In addition, as my personal consultant, I will give you an additional consulting fee of 5,000 thalers per year."
"You have paid so much, so what can you get from such a cooperation?" Xia Pingan asked.
Helena's eyes flashed with ambition, "To be honest, I am not a divine scroller, so things like world beads and divine crystals don't mean much to me. I don't lack money either. What I care about is the influence. Strength and connections, this kind of cooperation can maximize your ability without taking any risks. And if your ability is used by me, it can bring me what I want and let me She has become very important in the entire Brandi circle of ladies. Behind a lady is a family and an influential man. The energy of this circle is beyond your imagination. It is very important to me. This kind of cooperation is very important to you and me. It’s all beneficial!”
Xia Pingan did not expect Helena to be so honest and make no secret of her ambitions. This woman actually wanted to become her weapon to win over other ladies in Brandi's circle of ladies. Xia Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "Helena, you I'm really flattered by your honesty, I didn't expect that I am so valuable in your eyes!"
"You don't understand women, so you don't understand what the abilities you master mean to women!" Helena smiled, suddenly stretched out her hand, and touched Xia Pingan's face tenderly, "I believe that someone as smart as you can When communicating with men, frankness is the most effective. Cheating and concealment will destroy our cooperation, so it is better to make it clear from the beginning. It will be better for you and me!"
Xia Pingan took a step back slightly to avoid Helena's "harassment", "Is it at least one a month?"
"Yes, at least one, but actually it should be more. You don't have to worry about this!"
"Okay, I agree!" Xia Pingan nodded and said directly, and then added, "Let me state first that I am only responsible for divination and detoxification. I don't want to get involved in other things in this circle. !”
Helena smiled, "Okay, no problem, it's just that from today on, as my personal consultant, your abilities can only belong to me, and your firm can no longer be opened!"
