The beautiful receptionist poured tea and desserts for Philip and the others and said,""Please wait a moment. I'll go and help you pass the river now.”
" Thank you again, attentive lady," Philip said politely.”
Philip and the rest waited for about ten minutes before two white-robed priests came in through the door. Philip had seen the white-robed priest in the lead in Buer City. When he saw them come in, Philip immediately stood up and walked to the white-robed priest in front of him."Greetings, Priest Zimore. We meet again.”
" He knows me." This was his first reaction. He looked at Philip and didn't have any impression of him. This was his second reaction.
However, this was normal. After all, as a white-robed priest, even though he wasn't considered a member of the upper echelons of the Radiant Church, he was still a member of the middle ranks. Every year, he would see more than ten thousand people. It would be strange if he remembered Philip.
Philip had only seen Zimore when he was inspecting the church of Buer City. At the banquet prepared for Zimore by the church of Buer City, Philip, as the city lord, was naturally invited to attend. It was at that time that Philip had seen Zimore once. However, Zimore was the main character at that time and was surrounded by many stars. How could he remember the small city lord of a small city?
" I'm sorry, sir, you are?" Zimor asked apologetically. Although Zimo did not remember Philip, Philip was so respectful to him that he actually did not remember him.
Philip was not surprised that Zimor did not recognize him. To put it nicely, he was just a castellan of a small city, but compared to the white-robed priest, he was just a nobody. How could a nobody like him be remembered by the white-robed priest of the Holy See?
At this moment, Philip respectfully explained to Zimore,""Lord Priest Zimore, my name is Philip. Rhode, as the City Lord of Buer City, I was fortunate enough to meet you when you inspected the church in Buer City two years ago.”
Zimor thought for a moment and finally remembered that he had indeed been to Buer City two years ago, but he did not have much of an impression of Philip. After all, he had been to many places in the past few years, and he would not remember all of them.
However, Zimor still pretended to remember and said,"" Oh, I remember now. You're City Lord Rhode, City Lord Rhode. I heard from my subordinates that you're here to make a deal with the Holy Court. Are you sure you're not mistaken, City Lord Rhode?”
Zimor emphasized the latter part of his sentence. Although the Holy See would use merchants to make money, it was usually the Holy See that chose merchants to do so. Philip, on the other hand, came uninvited and was here to make a deal.
Although there was not much difference between being chosen by the Church to do business and doing business on his own, there were still some differences.
Being chosen by the Holy See to do business meant that the Holy See wanted to buy or sell some goods. These were all led by the Holy See.
A trade, on the other hand, placed both parties on equal footing, so Priest Zimore would naturally make his words very serious.
"Yes, Lord Priest Zimor, I am indeed here to make a deal with the Sacred Court.”Philip didn't seem to hear anything wrong and only said respectfully.
"Hmm, in that case, City Lord Rhode, let's talk on the second floor.”Although Zimor was a little uncomfortable with Philip's answer, he still politely invited Philip to the second floor in order to maintain his demeanor as a superior.
The second floor was very quiet. Zimo brought Philip and the others to the room that the Holy See had specially prepared for the merchants they had chosen to do business with the Holy See.
"City Lord Rhode, what business do you want to do with the Holy Court?”Zimor asked arrogantly, changing the deal to business. Although Philip was disgusted by Zelmo's tone, he had the backing of the huge Church, so he had the right to be arrogant.
Philip calmed down and took out the beginner magic potion he had prepared. He handed a few bottles to Zelmo and said,""I'm here to do a pharmaceutical business with the Holy See. This is a sample of the item I want to trade with the Holy Court.”
Zimor took the few small bottles from Philip in confusion. He thought that since Philip dared to use these bottles to do business with the Holy Court, there must be something extraordinary about him. Therefore, he observed carefully for a while and did not find anything special. He said disdainfully,"" City Lord Rhode, forgive me for my poor eyesight. I didn't find anything special about your bottles. Furthermore, I don't think these bottles are qualified to trade with the Sacred Court.”
Philip did not get angry after hearing Zimor's words. He just thought,'I want your attitude. You'll know how precious these bottles are in a while. I hope you can still be so calm.'
Philip picked up a bottle of magic potion and said to Zimor,"" High Priest Zimore, please allow me to introduce you to the uses of these small bottles that you look down on. Let's see if these small bottles have the qualifications to make a deal with the Sacred Court.”
" Sure," Zimore said contemptuously. Even the white-robed priest on Zimore's side revealed a contemptuous expression.
Although Philip was also very angry, they did not dare to show it. They all looked at Philip and waited for him to express his stance. Philip coughed softly to signal them to be quiet, and then slowly said,"" Lord Priest Zimore, please take the bottle in your hand that you look down upon. Don't break it, but it's fine even if it breaks. Just take it as a gift from me.”Philip looked at Zimore with a smile, ignoring the unhappiness on his face.
Philip continued," It's like this. A year ago, our family came across an ancient alchemy recipe by chance. After a year of research, our family spent a lot of money and finally made the finished potion that you are holding in your hand. After human experiments, we found that this potion can recover a mage's magic power, which is also the magic power recovery potion.”
"What?" After hearing Philip say that it was a potion to restore mana, Zimor stood up in shock. The magic potion he was playing with almost fell out of his hand. Zimor's hands were busy messing around with the potion to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Holding the bottle tightly, he stared at Philip and asked seriously,""What you said is true."
The people behind Philip were very happy to see Zimor's current appearance. Philip was the same. He said casually," Priest Zimor, if you don't believe me, you can try."”
After hearing Philip's words, although Zimor was very uncomfortable, he did not dare to slack off. If the thing in the bottle was really as effective as Philip said, he would not be able to bear the responsibility if he messed it up.
So he said to the white-robed priest beside him,""Kairi, release a few spells and use up your mana. Try the effects."
"Alright." Kairi also wanted to know if Philip was telling the truth, so he cast healing spells at a deserted place. After casting about six or seven healing spells, Kairi looked tired.
Zimore handed the few bottles of magic potions to Kerry and said,""Try it."
Kerry picked up the magic potion and drank it without hesitation. Kairi's face was filled with disbelief, so he drank three more bottles in a row. Kairi held back the shock in his heart and said,"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.”
Zimor saw Kerry's expression and knew that Philip was not lying. He asked hurriedly,""How's the effect?" In fact, he already knew the result without asking.
Kerry pondered for a while and said," A bottle of potion can recover about 15% of my mana. I drank four bottles and recovered about 60% of my mana. I can't imagine it. If City Lord Rhode uses this potion to do business with the Holy Court, he's definitely qualified.”
After hearing Kerry's affirmation, Zimore was ecstatic, thinking,'Lord, you really take care of me. If I hand over the magic potion, the Pope will be very happy. Maybe the Pope will promote me to a bishop, or even an archbishop. If it's done well, it's not impossible to become a red robe. I must use the greatest benefits to keep the magic potion. The higher the benefits, the greater my contribution.''Zimor made his decision.
After making his decision, Zimor suppressed his excitement and smiled at Philip.""Hehe, brother Philip, it was my fault just now. I actually doubted you. Come, let's talk about the specifics of the deal.”
Zimor's good attitude and swift change made Philip feel a little uncomfortable. He even changed the way he addressed him. From City Lord Rhode to Brother Philip, and even calling himself Brother. The change was so quick that it made people click their tongues.
