Chapter 136: Companions

"No, how can such a condition be agreed!?" Late at night, I gathered everyone around the campfire to discuss the next step, and when Maria's conditions were announced, everyone was surprised, and the most fierce reaction was Antonla.

"I said, do you have a brain? Now that she is our captive, and the initiative is on our side, how can you let that little girl ask for a price and make conditions?" Our "King of Red Flames" seems to be really anxious this time, poking my head with his finger while counting, I feel that it is completely a parent teaching a child... Well, although she can be considered my "elder" in terms of age.

"Don't worry, don't I know that the stakes are high, so I brought everyone together to discuss." I excuse myself.

"No, I absolutely don't agree with that. That girl is very ghostly, who knows if she is telling us the truth? If she is allowed to regain her freedom, who will be responsible for turning around and biting us back?" Anton waved his hand again and again.

Seeing its resolute attitude, I couldn't help but turn my eyes to others, only to see Ah Zi frowning, bowing his head and saying nothing, as if weighing the pros and cons of things, Xiao Jia rarely speaks at this decisive moment due to her personality, and Lance is still standing aside with a cold face, I can understand its embarrassing position at the moment, after all, Maria once brought people to wash its tribe with blood, emotionally speaking, Lance is extremely disgusted with it, but at the same time it is a calm guy, knowing that this kind of moment can not be rash, So in a dilemma, it simply kept silent, and finally I had to turn my attention to the princess.

"I don't think she's too much—" I finally waited for the princess's answer.

"Please, Scarlett, I said can you always spoil this kid like that?" Anton La couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

The princess smiled slightly: "I'm just talking about things, if I can really get information from Maria's mouth, then these conditions she prescribe are not excessive, the only problem is..."

"Is she trustworthy?" The princess looked at me solemnly as she spoke, and the eyes of the others around her suddenly focused, and it was obvious that everyone was waiting for my answer.

"This..."I hesitated for a while, after all, this is a matter of life and death for everyone, and I can't be sloppy. Yes, the Demon King's instincts tell me that Maria didn't intend to deceive me, but after all, this thing is so illusory that even I find it a little unconvincing, and it is reliable to bet everyone's lives on such a thing?

"I can't guarantee that..."

"Hehe..."Hearing me say this, Antonla couldn't help but sneer.

"As far as I can see, Maria doesn't seem to be deliberately deceiving us, but the human heart is too complicated, I don't dare to make a conclusion, let alone risk everyone's lives..."I ignored Antonla's ridicule and explained to myself, after all, everyone has been together for so long, I believe the princess and the others should understand the meaning of my words.

"So you personally believe her?" Sure enough, the princess pointed out the key point at once.

I didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"I see—" The princess nodded thoughtfully, as if she had already made up her mind, but she turned her head to ask for the opinions of the others.

"What do you think?"

"Since Kane said so, I choose to believe him." Ah Zi was the first to say something, her attitude was very resolute, and I couldn't help but look at her gratefully.

"It seems that we have only to take a risk now..."Xiao Jia's statement is a little ambiguous, but it is not difficult to understand, after all, her style has always been more cautious, and judging from her style, she is still more inclined to be on my side.

"Well, since you've all said that, then I'm not against it." The princess smiled when she heard this, and finally agreed with my judgment.

"Hey, are you all right? Kane has no brains, why are you all crazy with him?" At this time, Anton La, who was on the side, couldn't help but get anxious when he saw this.

"Antonla, how long have you known Kane?" It was obvious that the princess had expected such a reaction from Antonla, so she was not in a hurry, but just asked rhetorically as she normally chatted.

"It's been a long time... Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" In response to the princess's question, Anton La was obviously a little confused.

"And what do you think of him as a man?" The princess did not answer, but continued to ask.

"A good person, always thinking about others, and being pessimistic, always feeling that his life is a mistake..."The more Anton La spoke, the more excited he became, and he began to count my shortcomings one by one, but it was undeniable that it was basically the truth...

"And what do you think of his companions?" Finally, when Anton had finished counting, the princess asked again.

"This... A little self-righteous, always feeling that everyone can't do without him, always like to impose his own ideas on his companions, and is very stubborn, and does not listen to persuasion..."Antonla continued to count the falls.

"But—" At the end it paused abruptly, looked down at me meaningfully, and then sighed rather helplessly.

"He was always the first to step up when his companions were in danger, and he never abandoned anyone..."

Speaking from my heart, I was really surprised when I heard Antonla, who has always had a poisonous tongue, say this, and I couldn't help but raise my head and look at it with a surprised face.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you happy to compliment you once in a while?" Anton gave me a blank look and said.

"No, it's just that I'm really not used to hearing this from your mouth..."

"Poof!" Hearing me say this, the princess and the others couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little warm.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." After laughing for a while, the princess hurriedly pulled the conversation back to the point.

"As Anton Ra said, Kane would never do anything to hurt his companions, and I don't particularly trust that Maria, but I trust Kane, so since he said so, I think we can still give it a try. Of course—" The princess couldn't help but change her words and look at me with a serious face.

"If Maria ends up with any repetition..."

"All the responsibility is on me!" Before the princess could finish speaking, I immediately said.

"Very well," the princess nodded, then turned her face to look at Anton La.

"Gotta mess with you hot-blooded idiots, I'm unlucky!" Anton Ra spread his hands and reluctantly agreed to our decision.

"But I still don't trust that girl first, I will keep an eye on her all the way, if she moves slightly, someone will not blame me for not knowing how to pity the jade." Anton La looked at me meaningfully as he spoke, and the implication was so obvious that I couldn't help but bow my head a little embarrassed...

"Phew, I'm finally free—" Maria moved her wrist for a moment, and then stretched out towards the morning sun, her graceful curves dazzling in the morning light.

"Hmph, what do you have to do with the underdeveloped yellow-haired girl..."Suddenly Antonla's cold words came from behind me again, this guy really refused to let go of any opportunity to taunt Maria.
