"Madam, would you believe me if I said that I recognized the wrong person?" Snow asked with an awkward but polite smile, but in front of him, Bernadette, whose delicate face was hidden behind fine gauze, said with a
A calm and cold voice asked:
"What do you think?"
"Ma'am, I really recognized the wrong person." Snow secretly mobilized the power of the essence and gave himself [Everyone thinks they can see through], turning himself into a harmless little handsome guy, but Bernadette seemed to
Completely unaffected by this change, he said in a playful tone:
"Although I don't know what method you used, my inability to predict you is the best evidence. I cannot think that an existence that cannot be predicted is harmless, so you must have used some kind of power."
"So, madam, as you can see, I am also an extraordinary person. Because I accidentally called the wrong name, I attracted such a terrifying extraordinary power. It is normal to use some self-protection methods, right? And this is Backlund.
, to dare to use extraordinary power so blatantly here, your status must be high. I am just an ordinary intelligence dealer, please let me go."
Snow's posture was very low, but Bernadette didn't believe it. Maybe it was because of the unique inspiration of the high sequence, maybe because Snow showed too many weirdness, or maybe it was just the daughter's distaste for her father.
Message obsession.
In short, she did not believe Snow at all. Instead, she sat on a hammock made of pea vines and said in a soft but calm tone:
"Since you are an information merchant, let's make a deal. Tell me, why do you call me 'huangbeibei'? What is your relationship with him? The reward is up to you."
Snow took a deep breath. He knew that there was no point in arguing anymore. This lady had the stubbornness and willfulness consistent with her status, and her strength was enough to support her character.
After thinking rapidly in his mind, he finally let out a breath and said helplessly:
"Madam, you should know that some things are not that you don't want to say, but that you cannot say them. Even if you ask me what kind of disaster Backlund is facing, I can tell you if there is enough shielding, but your question
, it’s really hard to answer.”
"..." Bernadette's eyes narrowed slightly, and Snow could feel an indescribable line of sight coming out of the fine gauze, but it was nothing like an angel, and he didn't even have the ability to detect traces of white horses and non-horses.
Not being able to do it, of course, this should be considered a good thing for Bernadette.
But she obviously didn't realize this. After a period of silence, she seemed to have given up something, and said in a deep voice:
"It's hard to answer. It's not that I can't answer it. Can you tell me what you know? You should know that I can pay you enough."
"Okay, madam, you win." Snow spread his hands and showed a helpless smile. He also changed the title of Bernadette from the honorific to the normal title. Logically speaking, he should not be able to laugh at this time.
Yes, but the "social skills" left to him by his predecessor allowed him to smile appropriately at any time.
He took a long breath, then raised his head, looked at Bernadette and said:
"First of all, madam, I need two guarantees. If you agree, then the transaction can continue. Otherwise, whether you imprison me or torture me, I can only keep the things that should be kept secret, because it is only the two of us who tell it.
Life together would be worse than death."
"You said." Bernadette nodded. As a veteran Sequence Three and the leader of a mysterious organization, she knew very well that there was a lot of knowledge that would be dangerous just by thinking about it. Although she was very doubtful about how this man whose strength was probably not as strong as Sequence Six would be able to use it.
Such knowledge was crammed into her mind, but thinking of the fate that even she could not predict, she still chose to listen to the parts she could hear first.
"First, I tell you to listen. If you don't understand something, you can ask questions, but if I don't tell you, don't ask anymore."
Snow stretched out a fist, and then popped out a finger. When Bernadette nodded slightly, he stretched out a second finger——
"Second, you can get the information I can tell you from me, but you must also pay for it. You decide how much you want to pay, but you can't do it without it. It's not that I want money, but it involves the acquisition of intelligence.
Of course, I can’t say specifically.”
Bernadette narrowed her eyes slightly, and her mind immediately thought of reasons such as rituals completed through the act of "transaction", or extraordinary items at the cost of "equivalent exchange".
This is not uncommon in mysterious worlds. For example, in the Church of Steam and Machinery, there is a sealed item that exchanges "answers to questions" for "information".
"No problem." Bernadette said softly, and then added, "You should know who I am, so don't worry about my purchasing power. As long as your information is valuable enough, I won't make it difficult for you."
Do."
"Very good, then I can answer your previous question. Are you ready? I mean, are you ready to isolate yourself from the gaze of high-ranking beings?" A confident smile reappeared on Snow's face.
, Bernadette's face suddenly became serious behind the fine plaid tulle.
She stretched out her finger and tapped lightly. In the space that was originally composed of vines, three young pig-headed men like half-orcs suddenly appeared. As they moved around, a layer of brick-like shapes appeared on the "wall" in the space.
The wall-like texture not only isolates many things from the mystical level, Snow even feels a lot warmer.
"You can say it now."
"Okay, first of all, your first question, Huang Beibei, this is the name for you, because your father also has another name. The source cannot be told to you. What I can say is that his last name is besides Gusta.
In addition to my husband, I also have the surname 'Huang', just like me, in addition to the surname Penridax, I also have the surname 'Feng', which is not a pseudonym from Lundberg, but a surname with another origin. We are used to using surnames.
Adding a compound word of the first letter of the name as the child's nickname, this is the origin of this title."
Snow whispered information that had no actual value, but to Bernadette, it was very important.
She looked at Snow thoughtfully, and suddenly asked suddenly:
"So, you can also be called 'Feng Sisi'?" (No need to worry, the name is revealed in the summoning spell on the business card)
"..." Snow grinned and sighed helplessly, "Ms. Bernadette, my name 'Snow' is actually a special translation. My name is 'Xue', which means 'snowflake'.
', Actually, you also have a name like this, but your father didn't tell anyone. Maybe he once called you by that name, but you probably won't remember it if you don't understand the meaning. So, if you want to know
