In the extremely luxuriously decorated small box, deathly silence fell after the bearded knight's words fell.
Facing the table full of exquisite dishes, the three people in the room not only lost their appetites, but also lost interest in conversation. A strange atmosphere gradually spread.
The freckled girl hesitated to speak, the bearded knight kept pouring wine into his mouth, and although the red-haired old man sounded sarcastic, he was actually as uncomfortable as the others.
Duh, duh duh, duh duh duh...
A clear knock on the door sounded in the room. Even though Beard had drunk a lot of wine, he still remained alert. He reached out and grabbed the broad-bladed sword beside him.
But with a creaking sound, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man carrying a huge suitcase walked in. Behind him was a man wearing a waiter's uniform.
Rabbit girl.
"I'm sorry, I heard you mention the name 'Samantha' when I just passed by here," the young wizard standing at the door of the room said with a very sincere attitude. "Is she exactly twenty-two years old this year, and
Or a very beautiful mulatto?”
Although he barged in very rudely, this young man wearing a wizard's robe without any energy fluctuations in his body looked very much like an ordinary person, and his attitude was quite good.
The freckled girl's eyes lit up and she wanted to stand up and speak, but the red-haired old man sitting next to her immediately reached out and held down her right hand that was resting on the table.
The freckled girl, who had already leaned forward to stand up, immediately sat down again, but her words had already blurted out. "You know..."
The red-haired old man who spoke almost at the same time as the freckled girl immediately denied what she wanted to express. "You heard wrong! We did not mention the name 'Samantha'!"
As he spoke, the bearded knight's eyes became sharper, and the hand he held on the broad-bladed sword seemed to become stronger.
A smile appeared on his face. The young wizard carrying the large suitcase slowly walked to the table, pulled a chair and sat down. He turned his head and whispered instructions to the embarrassed rabbit girl standing at the door.
"Please close the door!"
The expression on her face was very uneasy. The rabbit girl turned around mechanically and closed the door. Then she twisted her hands together as if she didn't know where to put them. And soon her knuckles became numb due to the excessive force.
The blood became too pale.
"I don't have any ill intentions. I hired a second-level wizard apprentice named Samantha four years ago. Later, with the help of the resources I provided, she was promoted to the level of a third-level wizard apprentice," sitting at the table
The young wizard seemed to be reminiscing carefully and spoke very slowly. "But something happened at home later, so it is said that after she signed some agreement, she left all the proceeds to my family, and then disappeared...
…”
As the young wizard narrated, the freckled girl's eyes widened, and finally she couldn't help shouting. "You..."
But the red-haired old man who held her right hand interrupted her again. "Shut up!"
The red-haired old man stopped him again. The face of the young wizard sitting there darkened, but after hesitating for a moment, he raised his right hand that was resting on the table and started waving.
A faint energy aura began to gather, and the three people who were shocked all stood up, raising their alertness as if they were ready to take action.
But the young wizard sitting there with a large suitcase in one hand was waving his fingers without any intention of stopping him.
But the three people who stood up discovered almost at the same time that they had been suppressed by the confinement force field at some point and were unable to move!
His fingers were waving slowly and firmly, but the image of Samantha in Raymond's memory had become a little blurry. In the end, it was only after the chip retrieved the previous records that he successfully used the mimicry technique to outline the image.
After seeing the outline of Samantha, a three-dimensional virtual image of Samantha appeared in front of him and began to rotate slowly on the round table.
"I said after I came in that I had no ill intentions." Looking at the three people imprisoned there in different postures, the young wizard started tapping his right hand on the table. "If the Samantha you discussed before is what I mean.
Whoever said that, no matter what problems she encounters now, please tell me directly, because I owe her a favor!"
The bearded knight's face was full of horror, and the red-haired old man's pupils were constricted. Only the freckled girl seemed not to mind being imprisoned, with an excited face and expectation in her eyes.
With a thought, the restraint imposed on the freckled girl was lifted, and she immediately shouted in surprise. "Are you the second-level wizard Raymond who helped Sister Shaman to advance?"
"I am Raymond, but I am no longer a level 2 wizard." Raymond, who didn't expect Samantha to talk so much to this freckled girl, had a smile on his face. "Now please tell me everything.
, what kind of rescue does Samantha need?"
With a face full of surprise, the freckled girl bent over the round table and wanted to reach out to grab Raymond's right hand, but unfortunately she couldn't reach it, so she had to sit down with a smile and quickly started to tell.
Samantha, this beautiful mixed-race girl, signed an agreement with the Explorers Guild in Taril City three years ago because Stacy was forced into debt, exchanging ten years of her time for a large sum of money.
The crystal was given to little Stacie.
Young, beautiful, and just promoted to the third level of wizard apprentice, Samantha finally formed a team with the three people here to hunt and explore in the northern ice field to obtain the resources and necessities needed for survival.
The red-haired old man is the leader of the team who has no hope of becoming a formal wizard, the bearded knight is the backbone of the team, and the freckled girl is the weakest in the team, having only reached the level of a second-level wizard apprentice.
However, after being assigned to this team, Samantha, who was extremely sensitive to the scent of certain monsters, greatly increased the team's gains. Therefore, she also relied on her excess gains to gradually reduce the term of her agreement.
However, due to a somewhat risky exploration some time ago, this team had a conflict with another team. Shamanshu, who was resisting and covering, was ultimately unable to escape and was captured by that team.
At this point, an angry freckled girl appeared on her face, with aggrieved eyes. "Although we have crossed the line, there is no way to identify the boundary line in a place like that, not to mention that we have not entered the core area to explore..."
Listening to the freckled girl's story, Raymond released the restraints on the other two people with a wave of his hand. The red-haired old man's face was uncertain. After sitting down, he was thoughtful but did not say a word, while the bearded knight was.
With a happy face, he sat down honestly.
Raymond, who roughly understood the cause of the incident, started to ask questions directly. "So what are the requirements of the team that captured Shaman now?"
"Two days ago, they said they could let him go as long as we paid a hundred high-grade crystal stones," said the freckled girl with bulging cheeks, very angry. "But after we collected enough crystal stones, they suddenly increased the ransom amount.
!”
"If we just raise the ransom demand, then the matter will be easier to deal with." Realizing that the freckled girl's indignation came from the bottom of his heart, Raymond's expression softened. "Then Shaman is being held there by the other party. What is needed at the moment
How much is the ransom?"
"They asked for three thousand high-grade crystal stones before they were released. How can we afford such an amount?"
"Three thousand high-level crystals are equivalent to the cost of hiring twenty first-level wizards for a year. This seems a bit too much." After a little calculation, Raymond came up with a figure that shocked him. "Sha.
Manzu is just a third-level wizard apprentice, so why does the other party demand so much ransom? Is there anything special about the area you broke into?"
Raymond's question made the freckled girl a little confused, but after sitting down and observing the red-haired old man Raymond, he sighed and told the reason... (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature,
