A large gold coin is worth about 1 million Chinese coins.
The black orc killed by the chariot a few days ago is estimated to be sold for about 7 million Chinese coins.
If a piece is worth 1 million Chinese coins, the amount of gold used will be large, and it will naturally become very heavy.
I didn't weigh it, but it should weigh about 200 grams in my hand.
500 large gold coins are equivalent to 500 million Chinese coins and weigh about 100 kilograms.
It seemed unreasonable to ask for such a large amount to be prepared in more than two hours, but since they had prepared so much, they probably thought they could prepare it themselves.
After the situation reached a stalemate, I made full use of my natural detection magic and continued to look for the man in black.
I set up multiple pickup microphones and continued to collect leaked stories from black people.
The people guarding the doors and windows still maintained a sense of tension, but the people waiting in the loophole began to whisper and talk, as if they could escape in an emergency.
As I pieced the stories together, their plan gradually became clear to me.
For example, they used Ibro students as roadblocks because they thought it would be harder for soldiers to catch them, fearing that harming them would incur backlash from their wealthy parents.
On the other hand, though, if the Ibro students were killed or injured by a group of black people, it would start a movement to completely destroy the ghetto, so they seemed to be told not to do anything violent. yes.
"This information has been very useful to me."
If you don't have to worry about students outside being harmed, you can focus on protecting the students trapped in the conference room.
But if they were to be attacked, they would be cornered and attack the students.
I don't plan on letting him run away with five hundred gold coins, so I plan to find a way to prevent him from running away.
It seems that these five hundred gold coins will be carried by black people.
If divided into 10 pieces, the weight is about 2 kilograms, so it is still very heavy to carry.
When the large ransom of 500 gold coins arrived, they bought time by saying that they would check the amount. After they filled the leather bag with 10 gold coins one by one, Black Moon Man would carry them one by one and escape through the loophole. .
It seems that the rich fifty people will escape first, and the last ten people will use earth magic to block the tunnel while escaping.
If multiple tunnels are blocked along the way, it will take a lot of time to track them down.
At the same time, the black people also escaped safely.
When I told him what I heard using the natural magic eavesdropping microphone, Professor Mendez was stunned by the black man's strategy.
"Are you thinking about running away and what happens if you run away, rather than simply asking for money? Is this loophole still relevant to Skid Row?"
"I know some people who seem to remain friends even after the detection magic flawed, but I don't know where."
"Then if a loophole is exploited, it will be difficult to trace, right?"
"Yes, if you search from the ground, you can only walk into the slums, but with such a dense military camp, it is difficult to find the exit. I feel like I am trapped."
"It appears we have no choice but to ensure the safety of our students."
With Mr. Mendez’s ability, I think he can easily defeat five to ten men in black, but that’s without hostages.
For example, even a non-penetrating fireball can cause severe burns if it hits a student.
"There appears to be no way to move until all hostages are secured."
"Yes, safety comes first anyway, don't force it."
Using natural detection magic, I was able to determine the whereabouts of the man in black and the shape of the hole, but I was unable to grasp the situation outside the education building.
I could feel that there were people stationed about 30 meters away because I could detect them by touch, but I could not tell whether they were soldiers or negotiators.
The negotiators kept asking for surrender, but of course the black leader would not accept it and only responded by asking them to get the money quickly.
In response to the request for money, he replied that he was currently preparing, but he did not know to what extent the preparations were progressing.
Just as the deadlock over not receiving the requested money continued, the door to the conference room was suddenly opened.
I quickly walked down the steps and hid behind Professor Mendez.
"Hey, you, get out."
"What are you going to do to your students?"
"It was just used as a threat."
"If you threaten me, I'll leave."
"No, no, no, if you don't obey, I will burn you black!"
It seemed that the deadline for asking for money was coming soon, and he came again with students to threaten him.
A nearby teacher tried to go in the student's place, but he refused.
"Teacher, I want to go as a student union officer."
"Claudie"
"Okay, come on!"
"Hey, it's a crude imitation."
I couldn't see clearly because I fell down the steps, but judging from the conversation, the person who was admitted was not the student who was originally nominated, but Claudie, who I met a few days ago.
After chasing them with detection magic, they seemed to be forced up the stairs.
"What's wrong, Hua Wuming?"
"Looks like you're going to be taken upstairs."
"Impossible, you're not really going to push me off the balcony, are you?"
"I don't know, but it seems like they were taken to the third floor."
The black-clad leader threatened to push the hostages off the balcony if the money was late.
The ceiling of the teaching building is higher than that of ordinary buildings, so the balcony on the third floor should be about the same height as the fourth floor of ordinary buildings.
The cobblestones under the balcony extend from the school entrance. It's okay if you fall down, but you might die if you fall hard.
Claudier was taken to the third floor, his hands were tied behind his back, his ankles were tied, and he was blindfolded and stood on the balcony railing.
There were screams and shouts outside the conference room door, probably from the sight of Claudia.
Judging from his tone, in addition to the soldiers, there seemed to be a large group of onlookers.
Claudius was supported behind by a man in black, but he could not be seen from below.
“It’s almost time to fulfill the promise, but the money hasn’t arrived yet!”
"Wait! We are preparing, please wait!"
"If the church bells strike four o'clock and the money hasn't arrived, the hostages will be kicked out. If you don't like it, bring the money!"
I just searched with detection magic and couldn't see him, but I felt that Claudie's breathing was disturbed.
You may not be able to see what's going on below because you're blindfolded, but you should be able to sense the situation you're in through the sounds of bystanders and the wind caressing your cheeks.
"Hua Wuming, what's wrong with Claudius?"
"I'm sorry, please let me concentrate. In return, I will protect you."
Other students would be unhappy if they knew about Claudie's situation.
Also, grasping a situation through detection magic alone does require concentration.
"Hasn't the money arrived yet?"
You can sense the impatience in Professor Mendez's grunts.
The students who had returned to calm in the conference room began to feel uneasy.
Then the church bells rang, announcing four o'clock.
Gone, gone, gone, gone
"it's time!"
"Wait! The money is already coming here."
"Ahhh!"
Claudius' body, which was pushed away by the black suit, flew into the air, and the screams of onlookers and soldiers echoed throughout the conference room.
"Of course, I didn't intend for you to die."
"Airbag Seat Cushion"
An air bag made of natural magic that blocked even the Bronze Wolf's blow hugged Claudy and placed him on a mat on the ground.
I immediately cut the restraint rope with a knife made of natural magic.
"Damn, what's going on! Go to hell!"
"shield"
I didn't know the situation, but I put up a shield between Claudie and the education building.
"Damn, what is this!"
The leader in black shouted angrily, but Claudius stood up and ran away with the soldiers who rushed over.
"Damn it, bring me another child! I'll kill you!"
"Wait! The money has already arrived. If it harms the child, I won't give it to you!"
"It doesn't matter, bring it quickly!"
I don’t know if he arrived at the last minute or if he didn’t want to give away the items that had already arrived, but it seems that the delivery of 500 gold coins is about to begin.
