"Wait, you want to leave this place with us?"
"No, no, no," Afifa saw that Fang Plover misunderstood what she meant, and waved her hand quickly: "I mean, you can take me there hostage, and I will cooperate with you."
There was silence in the room.
Fang Yu was slightly startled and said with confusion: "But why did you do this, Miss Afifa?"
Afifah nodded slightly, with a serious look on his face: "I want to help you leave, but I don't dare... And you should also plan this way. It will be much easier with my cooperation, so that I, myself It’s not that dangerous.”
Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at her, but he didn't expect the other party to think so much, and asked again: "But aren't you worried that we are your enemies?"
Afifah's eyes dimmed after hearing this, and she shook her head: "I believe Mr. Ed is not a bad person."
Fang Yu looked at her a little surprised, not understanding where the other party's confidence came from. Seriously, this is the second time the two have met. Just because I saw him fighting in Vanrich, can we come to such a conclusion? Even I would not be so naive. Suddenly something moved in his mind. Maybe she knew what the mystics were doing, so she felt guilty?
He asked thoughtfully: "Miss Afifah, do you know why your people caught us here?"
Afifah shook his head in the darkness and shook his head quickly. "Mr. Ed, please stop asking. I can't tell you."
Fang Yu had no choice but to give up, but he had some guesses in his mind.
The conversation was conducted in a low voice, and the Bein knights outside could not hear clearly due to the door. But after a while, the knight outside asked again: "Have you guys thought about it?"
Fang Yu took a breath and threw the previous considerations out of his mind. Now that the plan had reached the most critical step, his first concern was how to leave this death place - not anything else. His voice was unhurried and deliberately kept calm: "Let us go to the 'Daoud', and we will hand over Miss Afifah to you before boarding the airship -"
The two knights seemed to have been told in advance and were very silent after hearing his request. They only replied: "We will report the truth to the Governor, but we are not sure about the specific details."
But Fang Yu replied categorically: "There is no room for bargaining."
The two knights nodded slightly, then turned back and walked out.
Outside the room, after the knights brought the news, there was obviously another argument.
"Absolutely not," the mystics immediately shook their heads: "Let's not talk about whether they really want to let people go. The sandstorm on the rooftop is so big. Who can guarantee whether it is safe for Miss Afifah to go up there?"
"Very insightful. Could you please go and convince the other party?"
"Then we at least ask them to let people go before entering the rooftop."
Numan looked at the other party jokingly, until he saw that the mystic was a little guilty, and then the latter said: "Miss Afifah is in their hands, are we really going to do anything to them, just for Miss Afifah's sake?" Just for safety reasons——"
But this "one-sided statement" is obviously not trustworthy. At the end of the sentence, even the speaker's own voice was lowered to the point where it was almost inaudible.
Someone even muttered: "But the other party obviously doesn't think so."
At this time Numan suddenly said: "We may not really know what to do."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone looked at the governor with some surprise and uncertainty. After all, it was the other party who initially objected, but now he has given a contradictory statement. Why is this?
Numan looked speechlessly at these empty-headed mystics who only knew magic and astrology, and sighed. "Miss Afifa's identity is so important. How can we just rely on the other party to keep her promise? In my opinion, no gangster is worthy of trust. We must act according to the worst possibility."
"But..." The mystics looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder, are those people really gangsters?
The other party is actually just an adventurer serving the Tansnir Port Authority, but he was captured by them here for no reason. It's not necessarily certain who the gangster is. Even if they are the people under the eldest princess, they are just investigating the accident that happened more than ten years ago, so they can't be said to be doing evil?
At this time, the middle-aged mystic on the side finally spoke: "The Governor is right, no matter what the other party thinks, we must be prepared ourselves. If possible, we will even try to keep those people together. How can we make everything go as planned for the other party? Of course, all this is done on the premise of ensuring the safety of Miss Afifah."
"But the other party may not agree to our request."
After the mystics said this, they were suddenly startled - why were their positions reversed?
The middle-aged mystic replied: "We can think of a compromise."
So this compromise solution was quickly presented to Fang Plover.
"Are they going to cast a protective spell on Miss Afifah?"
"To resist the wind and sand on the rooftop?"
Fang Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Do you think they are three-year-old children?
He immediately shook his head and once again categorically rejected the other party's request. Are you kidding? How could he let the other party get close to Afifa, let alone a mystic? There are too many weird spells in this world. Who knows if the other party has cast a protective spell?
Even the barbarians on the Kuisu Plain know that they cannot let the magician speak, let alone them?
So the question was thrown back again, and the two Bein knights responsible for delivering the message were not bothered and just returned his answer truthfully. After a while, they came back with new conditions from Bein's side:
"My Lord said that you can cast the spell. Their purpose is to ensure the safety of Miss Afifah."
"Let us cast a spell?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
He was stunned for a moment before asking again: "Is this your last request?"
The two knights nodded in agreement outside the door.
The person behind the door fell into silence.
What kind of medicine did the other party buy in this gourd? Is it really just to protect Afifa? He couldn't help but look back at the girl beside him, but was she so squeamish? She was just going up to the rooftop. Even though there was a dust storm raging outside, the dust storm wouldn't really kill anyone for a while, right?
Unless Afifah's status is respected enough, the other party must be so cautious.
Thinking of this, he looked at the latter again. "I now believe that you are no longer the illegitimate daughter of Count Nurman, because I believe that Miss Lavalli is not treated like this. Afifah, are you a princess in distress?"
Afifah was obviously equally confused, but couldn't help but frown after hearing the teasing words. "Mr. Ed, I said..."
Fang Yu smiled bitterly: "I know, but the current situation can't help but make people think a lot, and I really can't think of any other reason -"
Afifah was speechless after hearing this. She looked outside the door with the same confused look in her eyes. Ever since she was this old, she had never known that she was so important. What kind of medicine are they selling outside? She even worried whether this was a trap. But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is not necessary.
Fang Yu didn't think so much about her, but when he mentioned the words "princess in distress", a vague thought flashed in his mind. But now was not the time to think about these things. He suppressed his thoughts and began to seriously consider the other party's proposal.
It is reasonable for Bein to bargain. If the other party did not consider accepting their request at all, he might have to carefully consider whether there is any fraud in it.
Although he said before that he would not accept any bargaining, the subtext of that sentence was that he would not accept any compromise on issues of principle.
Now that the other party wants to provide Afifah with some protection, it sounds reasonable.
What he objects to is that the other party allows people to get close to Afifa and prevents the other party from rescuing the person. If they cast the spell themselves, what's the problem?
In fact, he is not willing to get entangled with the other party too much on these trivial issues, because he has to guard against the other party deliberately delaying time. The top priority now is to get the other party to agree to their proposal quickly and let them arrive at the dock at Dawu. Go up to the rooftop of De'hao. As long as we board the ship, everything will be easy.
But no matter how you agree, it is still a technical job.
After he returned the "can be considered" opinion, the knights quickly brought back new demands from outsiders:
"They can't trust our people's magic." After hearing what the other party said, Fang Plover was a little confused: "Do they require you to use your magic?"
The knight nodded.
"How to do it?" Fang Pliance asked again: "I will not allow your people to get close. You should already know this."
The knights told them calmly that they could use the scroll. One person should go out and get the scroll first, and then cast the spell.
"The scroll doesn't work." Fang Pliance immediately shook his head. Anything the other party brought was unreliable in his opinion. To be honest, this is the first time he has done such a thing. When surrounded by powerful enemies, it is human nature to be suspicious. There may be nothing wrong with the scroll itself, but it's better to be cautious.
But he thought for a moment and came up with a compromise: "Maybe I have an idea. We are the chosen ones. You can teach the spell to one of us, and then we can cast it."
I have to say that this is a perfect solution in Fang Plover's opinion, and the other party cannot shirk it. For the aborigines, learning a spell is certainly not a matter of a day, but for the electors who have cognitive experience, as long as one person is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn, it will be a matter of time for the system. matter.
Moreover, excluding battle-level spells of thirteenth level and above, the spells that Aitalia has learned personally are divided into twelve levels. At Luo Yu's level, spells below fifth level are no longer difficult for him. Mystics can't. It is said that this spell is just for protecting against wind and sand, but it is actually a spell of level six or above, right?
That would be too much nonsense. His Majesty the King of Corin-Ithurion would not be able to enjoy such treatment even after he came.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two knights. The two knights hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left. The other party's reaction was also within a reasonable range. It was only after the other party left that Fang Yu seemed a little uneasy - what if the other party refused again? They must stick to their principles, but they must also avoid pushing the other party too far. If the other party is desperate to break up, they will only be the unlucky ones.
After all, he had asked Afifa, and the other party still had many stars that could be resurrected.
At the moment, we can only hope that the other party is not setting a trap, but that this girl is really that important in the eyes of the Bein people.
And even he seemed a little uneasy, let alone others. The wind was howling outside and the temperature was not very high, but Little Fatty Wu was wiping his sweat away.
But after a while, the knight outside finally brought back good news:
"The adults agreed."
"They agreed," Fang Yu immediately turned around and said to everyone, but he grabbed Wu Xiaopang who was about to cheer for joy and said to everyone present seriously: "But now is not the time to be happy."
After hearing this, everyone was slightly startled. After all, everyone felt a sense of relief when they heard the news. Because this at least proves that Afifah is indeed that important in the eyes of those people, and this young lady is still willing to help them. No matter from any aspect, this seems to be a sure thing.
Luo Hao, Luo Yu and ZXC were slightly startled when they saw Fang Yu's expression, and then they seemed to come to their senses.
Only Wu Xiaopang still didn't know what was going on, so Fang Yu said: "Now that the other party has agreed to our request, it is good. But don't forget that the Governor is nominally trading with us, but in fact he is just forcing him to do so. Due to the situation, if you really think that they will send us away honestly, you would be too naive."
He pointed around: "Right now we seem to be trapped in this place, but in fact it is relatively safe. After all, the current environment is relatively static, and the other party also believes that we will not do anything at this moment."
Fang Yu looked up at the door again and said: "But once we get outside, the situation will be a thousand times more complicated. Without the barrier between us and the other party, there is no guarantee that the other party will not take action against us. Miss Afifa is here with us." But the opponent's strength is also higher than ours, and Aitaria also has all kinds of strange spells, which is even more difficult to guard against."
He paused: "The other party seems to be seriously bargaining with us when making these requests, but it may also be just delaying time so as to set traps on the road. If we relax our vigilance at this time, there is a high probability that things will not go smoothly in the end. When we arrive at the Daoud, now is not the time to relax, but we need to be a thousand times more vigilant."
Wu Xiaopang opened his mouth, and then he felt a little enlightened.
Previously, the other party had bargained with them over these trivial matters, which for a time gave people the illusion that both parties were on equal footing. But when they thought about it, they realized that the two sides were still in a hostile relationship. The current illusion was just because Miss Afifah was in their hands.
But once the other party seizes the opportunity, they will fall out faster than they think. To put it bluntly, they are far from out of danger.
When Fang Yu saw that everyone had calmed down, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Yu and said, "Luo Yu, go out and learn that spell."
Luo Yu only nodded. Although this request sounded scary, it was actually not very dangerous. As long as the other party is not crazy, he will not attack him at this time.
And sure enough, as Fang Yu expected, that spell was not a high-level spell, but an IV level spell. Luo Yu only took a moment to learn the spell after going out, but when the other party told him about the precautions for this spell, It took a little more effort, but only a few minutes.
Not long after, two Bein knights sent the elementalist back.
After Luo Yu entered the room, Fang Yu first asked: "Is it a protective spell?"
Luo Yu nodded.
Among them, Jita, a naturalist, is an expert in dismantling spells. After analyzing the spell components of the spell, he came to the conclusion that it was indeed just a protective spell, with nothing superfluous.
At this time, Luo Yu was about to cast a spell on Afifa as he was told, but Fang Pultru stretched out his hand to stop him: "Cast a spell on me first."
Luo Yu was slightly startled, but then he realized what he was saying, nodded and did as he was told. That spell only created a faint light shield around Fang Plover. It was still more conspicuous in the dark, but once under the light, nothing could be seen from the outside.
Everyone thought that Fang Yu wanted to personally check whether this was a protective spell, but Fang Yu said: "Bring your sword to the box."
Everyone was startled.
Only Xiangxiang's expression remained unchanged and he handed over the sword as a matter of course. Fang Yu took the sword and without saying a word, he cut his own hand with his backhand - and then hissed in pain. Although it was obvious that it was just a small, almost invisible wound on his finger - everyone saw He couldn't help but look a little weird when he looked like this.
Fang Yu squeezed it with his hand, finally squeezing out a trace of blood, and then nodded with satisfaction before handing the sword back.
"Mr. Ed?" Afifah was confused.
Fang Yu shook his head and said it was nothing. He just wanted to see if this spell could protect against physical damage. After all, when they 'held' Afifa hostage, they probably used swords. Although I don't really intend to hurt the latter, I must at least ensure that I have this ability. If this layer of spell is applied, the sword cannot hurt the opponent. Then once they go out, won't the mystics be confident?
But it seems that the other party didn't play any tricks in this regard.
Fang Yu then asked Luo Yu to cast a spell on Afifa.
Then he ordered everyone one by one:
"Luo Hao, later you raise your shield in front of Afifa. Be sure to cover the opponent's sight."
"Jita, cast psychic protection spells on everyone."
"The others stay close to Miss Afifah, keeping her in the center of our group."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Fang Yu naturally thought about it carefully. When he got outside later, if the other party had any ideas, his first target would definitely be the person who held Afifa hostage. Only in this way could her safety be guaranteed. Although Aitaria has all kinds of strange spells that are difficult to guard against, most of the spells require target selection. As long as the opponent's line of sight is blocked, the opponent will naturally not be able to cast spells on the hostage immediately.
The same is true for other physical means such as crossbows.
The rest are range spells, but it is impossible for the opponent to use killing range spells to blast them and Afifa together. The only possibility is various control spells, but in the face of psychic protection, everything All the spells that control temptations are useless. He also thought of this in advance.
After making these complete preparations, Fang Yu felt that everything should be foolproof.
After Luo Yu cast the spell over there, Fang Yu called the two of them over. He glanced at Afifa and then whispered apologetically:
"Miss Afifah, I'm sorry."
Of all the people, he is naturally the most suitable candidate for this 'hostage'.
Afifa nodded slightly.
