The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Leo's request

“No, this is a misunderstanding. I don't want to be tax free. Rather, I only want tens or maybe hundreds of workers from you to build a sloping field towards Abyssal Misery. No, don't misunderstand me anymore, maybe Abyssal Misery is a very terrible abyss. But in fact, the potion comes from Lily flowers that thrive in Abyssal Misery.” Leo asked for a wish.

The desire that will probably be very profitable for Leo. With the existence of a sloping field that was created to descend to the bottom of the Abyssal Misery, making his subordinates can cultivate Lily plants without having to plunge with such great risk.

More precisely, the sloping field was created at least a horse carriage could pass through. It is used to transport several containers containing sun Lily flower powder and sky water which will then be formulated by Hime.

That way, he could easily produce the sun Lily potion at least he had to sell it to Duke. The maximum is to the king. It is also great when it is marketed in the outer kingdoms and empires.

“That's a great idea! I didn't expect that you'd be this smart.” Ray who is in Leo's body now praises Leo.

“Ah, beyond my expectations. I thought you'd be mad when I tried to slightly damage your habitat it.” Leo replies to Ray. “Only, my request this time will not make you agree. Know it? I'm not an ignorant person to thank.”

Abyssal Misery, like a rumor going around. Clearly they were shocked after hearing Leo's true expression. That he found the ingredients to find the potion was at the bottom of the Abyssal Misery abyss.

No one believes, everyone thinks that Leo is talking nonsense. Even the mayor's face also turned wrinkled to believe that Leo's speech was not a lie.

Some information says that all those who descend on Abyssal Misery will not return. Even the adventurers assigned to the mission though, they also had no one to return from the abyss.

In addition, Leo's request is a little burdensome. Creating a sloping field to get to the bottom of the abyss would definitely require so many workers. Especially not a risk if the workers must get an impact like adventurers.

The mayor actually refused. Only, Leo spoke up once more. “I know that this request is very burdensome. The position of the bottom of the ravine is also very deep and will definitely make a project that is so big. It's just, I'll also make a deal with you.” Leo took a breath before continuing his words.

“After the project was completed, what if I would pay a trade tax of 40% of the potions I sold and drop ten percent annually? That means, I will pay the tax in general which is 10%, in 4 years after the project is completed.”

“40%? That, it's too big! Plus 30% in the second year, and 20% in the third! It made me able to return the capital after paying the workers to build a sloping field towards the bottom of the abyss, there would even be quite a lot left. How can I be sure? It was a tier 4 herb from a rare plant! The selling price will definitely be very high!” Galen looked happy with a bright smile on his face.

It's just that, in Galen's mind, something was stirring. “The problem is, I have trouble accepting because I have little doubt that the abyss is indeed not as bad as the rumors say.”

“Just calm down, I can guarantee that the abyss is actually safe. If need be, you can come at my mansion which is in the Esves forest and I will deliver you directly. How?” Leo tries to convince mayor Galen.

Leo's face looks full of trust, there is no lie so visible in Leo's eyes that makes Galen close his eyes for a while and lower his face. Then, he said, “Good, I believe it. I will send dozens of workers to build a sloping field or road to the base of Abyssal Misery.”

“Thanks for your kindness mayor.” Leo stood up and bowed half his body again in front of the mayor.

“And for Miss Hime? What do you need to want?” The mayor asked Hime.

Leo then looked at Hime, saying, “What, whatever you ask. I give you a freedom.”

“No sir, I want absolutely nothing. I really mean it.” Hime gave a pretty convincing word.

“Alright then mayor. Can I go back home sir?” Leo raised his head.

“Of course. Once again I thank you Mr. Leo and Ms. Hime.” Galen's a cheap smile. He gave his smile again to Leo as well as Hime. “Take Mr. Leo and miss Hime home.”

“Ah sir, I feel not so good. You don't need to be formal with us. In addition, we do not need to be escorted to go home.”

“No, you are my most precious guests. So I'll make sure that you guys get home safely.” Galen said with a bit of force.

Leo sighed and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he could only agree to Galen's coercion. She was a little bit of a pleasantie anyway.

Doesn't that save energy and money? Leo did not reject him at all.

“There's a figure playing behind this? my plan to take control of the city through the Viscount failed! Southern viscount was killed and the killer scapegoated me?”

A man with jet-black hair with a red line was so upset while hitting the wall so many times. The pupils of the eyes were jet black as well as humans in general, but the eyes of the person were much blacker.

Previously, he was reminded of a few years ago when he had almost taken control of the kingdom. However, he unfortunately had to face the royal prince, Theo Sirius, and was assisted by several soldiers.

Although Theo Sirius' level was still below him, he felt that it had been beaten back with some injuries. But, he also managed to almost kill the heavily injured Theo Sirius and took months to heal.

“Mr Raven. What should we do now?” Said one of the men who used the head covering like an Assassin.

“Slight .... Emm no, no. I've been lazy to play politics after my fight with the kingdom. This game is actually not too serious. My life goal this time is actually .... kill prince Theo.”.

“But sir, shouldn't we hunt down that woman named Iris? He wasn't killed in the incident of the Southern Viscount's assistance. What I fear is that he will report Lord Raven's treatment to them in detail” One of Raven's subordinates spoke.

“Leave it. Actually I had guessed that. Because of the failure of the mayor's murder because it's like Iris gave a code to someone. He who protects the mayor, that person is really very interesting.”
