The young master of the Vince Leigh family, carrying the giantification potion, excitedly jumped into the carriage and couldn't wait to head to the temple.
Ellie and Wendy Shane were detained at the mansion by the young master of the Vince Leigh family.
Before the efficacy of the drug was confirmed, their heads were merely relegated to their necks.
A day later, the young master Winsley returned to the mansion, having achieved his wish.
Upon his return, he eagerly summoned the two 'businessmen'.
Li Aili and Wendy Shani entered the private little living room, where they saw the young master of the Vince Leigh family sprawled on the sofa, looking just like a boneless mollusk.
Upon seeing Ellie, young Master Vince Leigh tremblingly raised his hand and gave her a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "Miracle drug!"
Li Aili: "..."
"I will pay you..."
Ellie interrupted Lord Vinceley, "As for payment, I don't need gold coins."
Vince's face immediately darkened. "You cunning, lowly merchant, are you trying to blackmail me?"
I don't want money; I only want things that are more expensive than gold coins.
Li Aili raised a finger and shook it, "No, no, no."
"The reward I need is a piece of cake for the young master of the Vinceley family."
“Take us to the temple, and then introduce us to the priests of the temple.”
"This shouldn't be difficult for you, since you can freely enter and leave the temple, right?"
Of course it's not difficult!
And it saves you money!
You should know that anything that touches the 'surface' requires boxes of gold coins to acquire.
And this 'divine medicine' that would make him favored by the temple priests—oh damn it!—was ridiculously expensive, requiring a quarter of his personal savings to obtain.
Of course, he could also choose to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, steal the two merchants' "miracle medicine," and then kill them.
But after that, no merchant ever dared to do business with him again.
The merchants in the underground city have a surprisingly consistent attitude towards customers who try to "double-cross" them—they create a blacklist for transactions.
If anyone dares to speculate and sell goods to those on the 'trading blacklist,' they will face a bounty from the entire underground merchant guild to hunt them down.
The free potion was a very sweet "bait" for the greedy young master Winsley.
However, his remaining rationality prevented him from immediately taking the bait.
"You intend to enter the temple and meet the priest?" Young Master Vinceley sat up straighter and looked Li Ai Li up and down.
"Why?"
"Why do we need to go to the temple to see the priest?" Young Master Vince's gaze sharpened.
Vince Leigh stared at the two merchants as if they were two despicable, shameless thieves.
Li Aili seemed to have expected this, and without hesitation, she gave a reason.
"We merchants want to see the high priest, of course, to earn more gold coins."
Vince Leigh narrowed his eyes. "If you have any business in mind, I can pass it on to the priest. If you are interested, I will contact you again."
Li Aili smiled slightly.
Even as a drow elf, she was undoubtedly extremely beautiful.
Young Master Vince Leigh was momentarily stunned by what he saw.
"Young Master, do you know what kind of people those merchants on the surface are like?"
“They have a natural sense of superiority when they see merchants in the underground city.”
"The same item costs one gold coin to people on the surface, but 1,000 gold coins to merchants in our underground city."
Although Vince Leigh was a noble young master of the Drow race, on the surface, even a lowly commoner would harbor a strange sense of superiority and spit on him: "Pah! You filthy underground race."
Sure enough, after hearing these words, young Master Vince's expression turned gloomy.
Young Master Winsley picked up the teacup on the table and took a big gulp.
"So what? What does this have to do with you wanting to see the priest?"
"However, the only thing those merchants fear is not the lords of the three major underground cities, but the believers protected by Her Majesty the Queen."
Ordinary drow elves are not afraid of surface dwellers.
However, the Drow priests are classified as a third type of "creature," separate from both "surface people" and "underground people."
In short—he holds grudges and is a madman.
The separation between the surface and underground is still not enough to stop the drow priests from going mad.
There was once an incident where a nobleman mocked the 'Spider Queen', and the drow priests, disregarding any cost, directly held a 'human sacrifice' to ask the evil goddess Spider Queen to take action.
When the evil god intervened, he never failed.
That entire family was wiped out.
Such an unpretentious evil god, and the Drow priests who sacrificed tens of thousands of their people for the sake of a grudge, completely shattered the worldview of the people on the surface.
"Not drow elves, but drow priests, whom the surface dwellers fear."
Upon hearing this, Lord Vince's expression softened somewhat.
His expression even held a hint of pride.
He was the lover of the priest.
The face of the priest is, roughly speaking, his face.
When the drow elves come to the surface, they're either on official business of capturing people or they're defecting.
"I don't want to be exploited by those surface people anymore."
“I want the priest to bestow upon me the temple's holy emblem,” Li Aili stated her 'purpose'.
Wendy Shane nervously observed Winsley's expression.
The young nobleman who had served the temple's second priest for a night remained silent.
He squinted at Li Aili, who had a completely open and honest expression.
Silence filled the reception room; an unbearable silence hung in the air.
"I will report to Lady Guli. As for whether she will see you, hmph, just wait and see." With that, young master Vinceley stood up arrogantly, patted his back, and walked out with a 'clattering' sound.
