Chapter 593 Rejection!
"Master Harry, please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform the young lady!"
Following Pedder through two gardens, we finally arrived at an exquisite small building.
The interior of the small building was magnificent and exquisite. Ped took Gervis to the lobby on the first floor, apologized to him, and then went up the stairs to the second floor.
Not long after, Pedder came back and said to the waiting Gervis: "Master Harry, the lady has agreed to meet you, please follow me!"
"Okay, thank you, Steward Pedder!"
Gervis then breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Ped, and then followed Ped towards the stairs.
After reaching the second floor and walking through the corridor, Pedder led Gervis to a double door and then knocked on it.
"Miss, Master Harry is here!"
"Come in!"
As the knock on the door came, a clear female voice was heard from inside.
After getting permission, Pedder quickly opened the door and gestured to Gervis to come in.
Gervis nodded slightly to Pedder and then walked in.
After entering the room, Gervis discovered that it was a study, and Lolita was sitting at the desk, flipping through the account book.
Today, Lolita was dressed as coolly as usual. She still wore a two-piece suit, with an off-shoulder shirt inside and a thin shawl outside. The snow-white skin of her neck and shoulders was vaguely revealed in front of Gervis, which immediately made people feel a little hot in their hearts.
Especially since Gervis knew that there was a peerless beauty under the veil, his imagination was even more endless.
"Just sit on the sofa and wait for me!"
Lolita felt that Gervis had entered the room, but she didn't look at him. Instead, she gave him an order without even raising her head.
Lolita's tone of voice was indifferent and cold, and it seemed to instantly extinguish the rising heat in Gervis.
"This woman is absolutely ice and fire. Whoever marries her will cry!"
Today, Gervis needed a favor from someone, so he didn't dare stare at Lolita any more. After hearing what Lolita said, he walked straight to the sofa in the study and sat down.
When Gervis was done, the study fell silent again, with only the sound of Lolita flipping through the account books.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, when Gervis was feeling a little impatient, Lolita over there finally raised her head and looked at Gervis.
"Your name is Harry, right? What do you want from me?"
"Because of what happened at the hotel, as long as your behavior is not too extreme, I can help you again. But I have to say this is the only time!"
Lolita looked at Gervis with sharp eyes. She had already given the thank-you gift, but this Harry took the initiative to come to her, and came so quickly. Lolita already had a vague feeling of dislike for Gervis in her heart.
But as she said herself, as long as Gervis's matter was not too troublesome, she would help him, but Gervis would never see her again.
Hearing Lolita's cold words, Gervis smacked his lips, finally realizing that the rumors that Laci and others had said about this young lady having a bad temper were true.
However, if he came to see someone like this, it would indeed make people unhappy, so he spoke shamelessly, thinking that business was more important.
"Ms. Lolita, I came here to ask you for some information!"
"I heard that a caravan from the Holy Trading Company just returned from the Holy Forest a few days ago and encountered the human race there."
"I'd like to know the name of the woman who negotiated with the caravan? Or more specific information about those humans."
"The Sacred Forest? Master Harry, why are you asking that?"
Lolita, who had originally had a blank expression on her face, frowned slightly when she heard Gervis' question.
Lolita originally thought that Harry came to her for some needs related to magician training, such as wanting to buy some rare potions or books related to magicians.
But this Harry just wanted to inquire about the news, and it was about the caravan that returned from the Sacred Forest a few days ago.
As for other caravans, Lolita might not remember them, nor would she care about them. After all, there were dozens of caravans of the Sacred Trading Company.
But Lolita remembered very clearly the caravan that had just returned from the sacred forest.
Because this caravan brought back a big deal, a deal that even the Holy Company could not ignore, and it was no worse than the deal they had made in the past when they obtained the spiritual essence from the elves.
That's golden wine.
Even she, who never liked drinking, was fascinated by this golden wine.
Lolita knew that something like this would become popular throughout the Holy Continent.
And, the most important thing is that this golden wine is only possessed by the elves in the sacred forest, which is very scary.
That is to say, only her Holy Trading Company can sell this golden wine, because only the Holy Trading Company can trade with the elves.
Therefore, for the Sacred Trading Company, there are immeasurable wealth and benefits involved.
Of course, this seemingly 100% safe deal actually has a small unstable factor, that is, the person responsible for negotiating the gold wine trade with them this time is a human woman.
Although the elves are hostile to humans, the human woman who is also a human may not necessarily be hostile to humans.
Lolita believed that if there was enough profit, the woman might also trade the golden wine to other caravans.
So a few days ago, Lolita issued a gag order to the people in her caravan, asking them not to reveal any information about the woman.
Now that Gervis came to ask, she felt that there was something fishy.
"The reason why I want to know the contact person's information is because I want to find clues about my life experience..."
Seeing the charming Lolita frowning slightly, Gervis had some vague guesses, so he repeated the excuse he had given to Laci and others, hoping to dispel the young lady's doubts.
"I'm sorry, Master Harry, although your reasons are very valid, the matter regarding the Sacred Forest is a top secret of the Sacred Trading Company, so I still cannot tell you the news. You can change your request, and I can still satisfy you as long as it is not excessive!"
But as soon as Gervis finished telling her about his "pitiful" life story, Lolita rejected Gervis' request without hesitation.
"Ms. Lolita, I know you are worried that I have other intentions, or that this news will be leaked!"
"Don't worry. I promise that I am the only one who knows this news. No one else can know the name of the contact person for the golden wine."
Gervis didn't expect Lololita to refuse so bluntly, so he could only continue to make promises helplessly.
If Lolita couldn't give him accurate information, he would have to go to the sacred forest himself.
But the elves are not only far away from here, but also need to pass through several dangerous places.
The reason why the Holy Trading Company can travel between the City of Hope and the Holy Forest so quickly is that the Holy Trading Company not only has its own teleportation array, but also a shortcut that crosses the entire orc hinterland.
But Gervis does not have these convenient options, and the journey to the sacred forest takes at least half a year.
"Master Harry, if you have nothing else to do, please take your leave!"
Lolita continued to frown. If Gervis continued to pester her, she thought she could ask Pedder to come in and chase him away.
If Harry could stop pestering her immediately and change his request, even if it was just asking for a thousand gold coins, Lolita would give it to him without even frowning.
But Lolita would definitely not reveal something as important as the golden wine.
"Is it Alice or Caroline?"
