"There is another room inside!" Wu Xiaopang suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.
The knights of Bein arrived too quickly, and the room was too dark, and there were a group of frightened maids distracting them. When everyone entered, they actually ignored that there was a room inside.
Fang Yu looked at the closed door and made a quick decision: "Go inside first."
There was no politeness at all, Luo Hao kicked the door open immediately, and no one paid attention to the maid outside. Everyone rushed in, and a woman's scream came from the dark room. Is there someone inside? Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that there was nothing strange about someone. He looked up and saw that this seemed to be a small library. Several towering bookshelves were filled with all kinds of ancient books. At this moment, a A thin girl wearing a purple robe was hiding under a bookshelf, looking at them in fear.
But when Fang Yu saw each other's face clearly, and the girl saw their group's faces clearly, both of them couldn't help but froze, and the same look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
"Mr. Ed?"
"Afifah?"
…
"Stop," Nuerman was ordering sternly outside the room: "Everyone get out, immediately."
The knights were confused by this contradictory order, but since it was the order of the Governor, they could only obey, put down their scimitars one after another, and silently retreated from the room. Someone among them asked in a low voice: "Those maids?"
Numan had a helpless look on his face, rubbed his temples, looked at his daughter, and said in a tired tone: "Bring them out."
Although I don't know why those 'gangsters' didn't hurt anyone, maybe it was because they were too late, but the maids were still frightened and all of them lost their minds. After seeing Rima crying like a child, Ravali finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered a few words of comfort to the latter.
But Nurman obviously did not order the knights to stop attacking because of these maids. Although he doted on his only daughter, he did not go to the extent of risking everything for this doting.
Just as the knights were bringing the people out, the governor turned around and asked Ms. Rande seriously: "Is Miss Afifa really inside?"
Ms. Rande's face was whiter than the thick layer of powder on her face, and she nodded lightly.
"Who is Afifah?" Ravalli turned her attention away from Rima and asked softly: "Why is she in my room?"
"You caused something bad."
Nuerman glared at his daughter angrily.
But when I think about it, if it weren't for this, it would still be my daughter in the house at this moment, and the situation would not be much better than now. It might even be worse for him. He couldn't express his thoughts to outsiders, but he was still relieved that his daughter was not in the room.
He was just relieved here, but the mystics over there changed their positions with him. At this moment, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. The middle-aged mystic was chattering to the side with an urgent pleading tone: "Lord Numan, please be sure to rescue Miss Afifah safe and sound. You know, if there is something wrong with her..."
Numan even felt a little happy when he saw the other party's appearance, and even wanted to ask back when my daughter was inside just now, what was your attitude? But the current situation really made him unable to laugh. These people had caused the incident, but after all, he was on his own territory, and he had to give an explanation to His Majesty.
"Then what are you going to do?" he asked.
The middle-aged mystic opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "The Governor-General will take care of it."
Numan nodded. He just wanted to stop these people's mouths and save them from gesticulating again.
He called two knights and gave these instructions.
…
"Miss Afifah, why are you here?"
"This, this is exactly what I want to ask, Mr. Ed...how did you escape?"
But now is obviously not the time to reminisce about the past. Wu Xiaopang came over and said to Fang Plover with a sad face: "Boss, let's not talk about this for now. What should we do next? We have checked, this is just a library, there is no There are other ways.”
Of course Fang Yu knew that the situation was urgent. He turned his gaze to the floor and replied: "We can only try to blow up this place and go to the next floor first. At least we don't have to break out from the outside."
"Here?" Wu Xiaopang was startled, and his voice suddenly became louder: "This is the center of the room. Boss, the power of your bomb seems to be quite big..."
"But there's nothing we can do about it," Fang Yu replied while taking out the fire giant: "The detonation point cannot be too close to the wall, because we don't know which wall bears the load. If the building collapses accidentally, we will all be killed. Buried in this place."
He paused for a moment: "Now I can only take a gamble."
"Wait," Afifah stopped them: "You can't bomb this place."
"Why?"
"The collection of books here is..."
Fang Yu reached out and pulled Afifa over, then placed her aside and said to the latter apologetically: "Please stand here, I will protect you later. The collection of books here may be very valuable." , but we can’t care about that at the moment. No matter how valuable a book is, it’s not as valuable as a person. Miss Afifah should understand this, right?”
Afifah looked at this scene a little at a loss.
But just as she was struggling, Luo Hao suddenly turned around from the door and asked, "Wait a minute, Captain, something seems wrong."
Fang Lu, Wu Xiaopang and Afifa turned around at the same time.
"There's no movement outside the door." Luo Hao answered in a low voice.
He had been raising his shield to be alert that Bein's knights would break in, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all. Before they came in, Bein's knights were clearly breaking in from the outside. Even if the other party wanted to guard against their counterattack, there was still no chance. There is no need to delay for so long.
This abnormal situation immediately attracted their attention.
"What?"
Fang Yu seemed to realize something, and made a gesture to ask others to quiet down. And as soon as they stopped talking, it seemed like everything was quiet outside the dark room.
what happened?
When they were in the outside room earlier, they could hear movement in the corridor. But at this moment, the outside of the room was like a black hole swallowing up the sound, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
This could only mean one thing, there was no one in the room outside.
What conspiracy are these guys up to?
But at this time, the ranger among the two people in Lufu's Shield suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Wait a minute, someone is coming in."
Immediately, others also heard a rustling of footsteps. The two footsteps came outside the door and stopped. Everyone was tense, waiting for the opponent to break through and fight back desperately. But after waiting for a long time, what they imagined did not happen. They only waited for a cough.
The knight outside the door coughed quietly and replied awkwardly but politely: "Everyone, the transaction continues."
What the hell?
In the room, Fang Lu, Wu Xiaopang, ZXC, Luo Hao, Luo Yu and the other two members of Lu Fu's Shield were all confused. There was only a box, still looking like it had nothing to do with them, and they were turning it over with their hands. Those ancient books seemed like everything here had nothing to do with him.
The remaining people looked at each other, their expressions showing varying degrees of sluggishness.
The knight of Bein outside the door waited for a long time but could not get an answer. He could only continue to ask according to Nuerman's instructions: "Excuse me, can Miss Afifa say a few words to us?"
Seven eyes were all pointed at the girl aside.
Afeifa's eyes widened. The girl also had a confused look on her face, and she even pointed at herself uncertainly, as if 'Afeifa' was not her name.
Previously, Mr. Ramonle—the middle-aged alchemist—prevented her from interfering in what was happening in the castle, and told her to go down and rest first. Then she was told by the servants in the castle that due to the chaos outside, the Governor had specially arranged another room for the mystics in the castle. Then she came to the castle under the leadership of Ms. Rande. this place.
Then there was the drama of the earl's daughter disappearing. She responded to the other party's request to stay in this place for the first time, and she did not reject it in her heart. Anyway, she has admired the earl's daughter's private collection of books for a long time. She heard that the other party has a private library. She also likes knowledge, but she does not have such conditions in the Lighthouse in the Cloud.
But I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
When there was chaos outside, she naturally didn't know that the intruder was Fang Plover and his group. She carefully hid in the room without making a sound, but she didn't expect that the other party actually broke in on her own initiative. It was only when she saw the identity of the visitor that she breathed a sigh of relief. Although the two had only had a "two-way relationship" before, she felt that the other party would not do anything to her.
But even so, forget it——
What's going on now?
However, her temper dictated that she had no time to think about it, so she quickly replied: "I, I'm here."
In the darkness, the girl's voice was soft and timid. However, when the two knights heard this answer behind the door, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then they loudly said to Fang Plover and his party: "Everyone, our transaction will continue. This is the intention of the Governor."
They paused for a moment: "Please ensure Miss Afifah's safety. We can still fulfill our previous commitments, including sending your companions over and allowing you to safely board the 'Daoud'."
There was silence in the room.
Everyone's faint gazes still fell on Afifa, leaving the latter at a loss - obviously the knights' proposal was beyond her expectation, and her status in the 'Tower in the Cloud' was not considered. Respect, and the relationship with other people also means a bit of independence.
No one deliberately made things difficult for her, but they also paid little attention to her. Master Albany was probably the person she had the most contact with, but he treated her no differently from other students, treating them equally harshly.
As for Bein, they are not relatives but friends.
Afifa was a little confused for a moment as to what the other party meant.
She didn't understand, and Fang Plover and others certainly didn't understand. But the Bein knight outside the door did not wait for their answer and couldn't help but repeat: "Everyone, please give us an answer."
"What should I do?" Luo Yu asked rarely.
Fang Yu's mind was like lightning. Although the other party might have a trick, there seemed to be no second way to go right now? And he really couldn't figure out what the purpose of these people's unnecessary efforts was, but no matter what, it was good to delay a little time. The other party was not in a hurry, and they were not in a hurry.
Even if it wants to blast through the ground, it still takes time to arrange it.
Thinking of this, he nodded to everyone, and then said to the door: "We agree."
Knight Bein breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "You will see our sincerity, please remember to ensure the safety of Miss Afifah."
After saying this, the two of them faced the door of the room, stepped away step by step, and finally turned around and walked out.
After it became quiet outside, Fang Plover turned back to look at Afifa in confusion, and looked the girl up and down. If he didn't know that this 'Miss Afifah' might have some special identity at this time, then he would be a hopeless fool.
He thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Miss Afifah, what is your status in the 'Eye of Revealing'?"
Afifah shook his head repeatedly: "Don't ask me, Mr. Ed. I'm just as confused as you are. I, I'm just an ordinary person in the Lighthouse in the Cloud. My father is just a businessman. One day, Albany The Lord saw my father and told my father that I might have some talent in the occult. You know the status of occultists in this land. Naturally, my father was overjoyed and spent some money to send me in... That's all. …”
This is indeed an ordinary story.
But Fang Yu couldn't believe it. If that was the case, either the governor was a fool or he was a fool. Anyway, one of them must be insane. Would the dignified Lord of Bein City let a businessman's daughter let these 'lawless people' who almost kidnapped his daughter leave?
Do you have to take a ride on the airship of the mystics?
Will anyone believe this?
Fang Yu thought for a moment, but he hadn't asked the question yet. But Luo Hao had no inhibitions and asked directly: "Then let me make it clear, Miss Afifa... Is there a possibility that you are actually the illegitimate daughter of that Earl?"
"Absolutely, absolutely no such possibility," Afifah's face turned red with anger: "Please don't make fun of my family. My father is very good to me..."
"But otherwise it's unexplainable."
Afifah was speechless for a moment, so she could only bite her lip and stare angrily at the fat man with a swollen face.
Luo Hao had no choice but to spread his hands and express that he actually had no intention of offending.
The room fell silent for a moment.
But suddenly there was a crackling sound of electricity behind everyone, and a blue and white lightning suddenly popped out from an ancient book on the bookshelf. It hit the box where he was about to take the book with his hands. The latter hissed and hurriedly Withdrawing his hand, he stared at the spine of the ancient book. Fang Yu said angrily:
"Don't touch things of unknown origin."
"That's a magic book," Luo Yu answered for him: "Be careful of the spells on it."
The box thought for a moment and then retracted his hand silently.
Only then did Fang Yu realize why this guy was hanging out with Mr. Parker. The two people were basically the same kind of people.
But sometimes things in this world are so magical. After a while, there was another knock on the door outside. A moment later, the voice of the previous Bein Knight came from outside the door again: "Everyone, please open the door."
Fang Yu glanced at the broken door and motioned for Luo Hao to step forward, while the others took a step back. As soon as the door opened, the first thing everyone saw was the short naturalist lady standing between the two Bein knights. Jita was holding her magic book nervously, and she screamed when she saw Fang Plover:
"Captain."
The knight said: "Everyone, we have sent your companions here. You can discuss how to board the 'Daoud' and how to hand over Miss Afifah's affairs to us. Don't worry, Lord Governor. I told you, I can give you some time."
After saying that, the two took a step back.
As they retreated, a girl about the same age as Afifa was revealed behind them. The latter had blond curly hair, snow-white skin, and a stunning beauty that was rare in this area, but her expression was not so kind. She stared directly at Fang Pliance and his group, with an expression on her face that was obviously very disdainful.
Fang Yu was stunned, and was about to ask who this girl with an evil look was, but the latter had already spoken first: "I've handed Jita over to you, please treat her well."
"what?"
Fang Yu fell into a confused situation again. He looked at Jita, who looked embarrassed and embarrassed to explain. The girl snorted at them, threw them on the back of the head, and left very unceremoniously.
He looked at the two knights. The two Bein knights also had dark faces and said nothing, obviously not intending to explain. It seems that the previous politeness of the other party was purely because Afifah was in their hands, and it was a 'business nature' politeness. If not, the other party would probably confront each other with swords immediately.
However, he didn't care about this and only let Luo Hao carefully bring Jita in and close the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Fang Yu had no time to ask about the inexplicable girl. He only said to the others:
"Let's talk about the next plan. Although it's a bit unexpected... it's still a hit or miss."
At this time, Afifah spoke softly:
"Mr. Ed, let me join you."
"What?" Fang Yu was startled.
"I-I mean... you, you can take me to the ship."
