Chapter 708: Decision (Star Eyes Seek Pink!) )
"You want to borrow Athena's flying clouds?"
Lin An sat across from the three Gustavs and raised an eyebrow.
On the table next to her was a tray with scarlet square cushions. The velvet on the tray has been uncovered, and in the middle of the velvet is a pair of tail rings inlaid with silver-white dimensional stones, and the fluctuations around the two tail rings faintly echo each other.
It was a gift of thanks brought by Gustav.
Lin An didn't look at the things in the dimensional stone tail ring.
There is less space equipment and even fewer sets of space equipment, which can be inferred from the Ring of Artemis she obtained.
The perfect cycle of "breathing" of this pair of tail rings in the tray is obviously a complete pair of complete equipment, and Gustav's reward is based on this pair of rare space tail rings as a container, which can be imagined as a value.
In fact, judging from the price Lin An paid in saving Gustav and the others, even if Gustav's reward was only a pair of space tail rings, it was already a tenfold return, and Lin An was not dissatisfied with saving people with such a return.
However, Lin An knew that giving back was not Gustav's main purpose.
If they had intended to offer a thank-you gift, they could have given it to the public at the feast, let alone visit a single female mage's tent unannounced late at night after the feast.
I didn't feel malice, and Gustav's emotions were surging more violently than usual, although his city government had been well reined in, but Lin An's spiritual power could still notice the ups and downs of his feelings, so he asked the meaning directly, and finally got such an answer.
"It is said that Miss Athena's alchemy Feiyun was given by the teacher, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to transfer it rashly, but in fact, if it is not important, we really don't want to be so presumptuous, and we ask you to lend it Alchemy Feiyun." Anatoly spoke up.
He did not mention the value of Alchemy Feiyun because he believed in the weight of the surname Oginets. It is enough to ensure that Lin An will not suspect that they have the possibility of coveting Alchemy Feiyun, no matter how valuable it is, Oginets will never do anything to take away his benefactor's love. Now, immediately after sending a thank you gift, it is already very shameful for Gustav. But his father may be in danger, and Gustav doesn't care too much.
Therefore, not to mention the reward for borrowing Alchemy Feiyun, they have already presented it together, otherwise the space equipment they sent would not be the twin star tail rings of this pair.
"The three of them came late at night and urgently needed to borrow Feiyun, and there must be a very serious reason. It's not a difficult thing to lend money, but it's not for other reasons. It's because it can't be done - this flying cloud is available to no one but Athena, not even me. ”
As soon as Lin An's words came out, Gustav was immediately disappointed.
He didn't doubt Lin An's statement, because Lin An really didn't need to find a reason to lie to him. And he also remembered that when they were chased by demon ants and met Lin An and his party, Lin An and the others did stop on the sand dunes on camels, if Alchemy Feiyun could be used by several mages in rotation, they really had no reason to have to walk in this vast desert.
Lin An lowered his eyes.
Feiyun can only be operated by Athena. It is indeed true, but she never said that Athena could not control Feiyun for a long flight, but Gustav and they saw Athena's age and subconsciously extended their assumptions, and she did not correct it.
Anatoly and Tomia looked at each other, both disappointed and relieved:
Gustav put forward the idea of borrowing Feiyun to go back, in the case that the enemy did not expect them to have aerial flying tools, there is indeed a great success rate, if they can return to the national capital in time, it will also be of great benefit to them, but Lin An's words made Gustav's plan bankrupt, and the latter can no longer think of a better way to have the best of both worlds.
Just after the three of them fell silent, Lin An spoke, "Your Highness Gustav, you suddenly want to borrow Feiyun, are you leaving the desert?" I noticed that you were talking to the slave man in the middle of the feast, did something happen? ”
"Yes, he brought the sad news that my chief attendant has disappeared near the Rumei Oasis." Gustav was disappointed, but he did not forget the dilemma that Oginets was currently facing, and it was naturally inconvenient to reveal it to Lin An.
Lin An noticed that Gustav did not deny that he was leaving the desert, combined with the fact that he had encountered an ant tide before and hurriedly came to borrow Feiyun after getting the news, Lin An had some ideas.
"Rumei Oasis? Isn't that the oasis where the envoys rest tonight? ”
The direction where they met Gustav was between the small oasis they were in and the Rume oasis, and it was normal for Gustav's chief attendant to find it in order to search for Gustav's whereabouts.
After the three Gustavs left, Lin placed a note in the Ring of Artemis, and Lancet sent back a message shortly after.
The Lumei Oasis is indeed a little unsettled, and the intelligence officers who he Merlin arranged in the oasis issued a warning, so the envoys did not enter the oasis tonight, and stayed overnight near the oasis, there were two half-step legends there, and naturally no one could find out their whereabouts.
"Ryan's people are also involved, and the entire chaotic place will be staring at Oginets's gang, Lancet and they are certainly much more hidden and safe, but their crisis is not in the desert in the first place, and after leaving the desert, "The vast and boundless desert does not even have a road, and there are more than twenty people in it, like water dripping into the sea, and even the ** division can't track and find the trace of the envoy group," and Gustav's affairs always make me feel uneasy - the chaotic land is mixed with forces, and the news exchange is dense and complicated, If turmoil spreads from the land of chaos, fish in troubled waters......"
Lin An pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision.
……
As the sun rises in the morning, smoke rises in the oasis, and Gustav, who has not slept all night, has not yet eaten his breakfast, but two uninvited guests visit.
"What? Can Miss Athena ride the clouds on a long flight? Gustav was stunned by surprise.
"Yes, your gift is too expensive, and I just found out about it, but Athena took a fancy to the horn of the nightmare narwhal and couldn't put it down."
Lin An looked conniving, glanced at Athena beside him, and smiled helplessly, "I originally planned to send back another Rainbow Starfish Crystal Gem, but Athena heard about your request last night, and after thinking about it, she decided to forcibly use a special function of Alchemy Feiyun. This special function can only be used once, and it is a method reserved for Athena to save her life, after which Feiyun is likely to be demoted or even dismembered, and only the teacher can restore it, but Athena thinks that the nightmare horn you gave you is worth the price. ”
Gustav had never been so glad for his choice of return gift:
There are only two things in the twin tail rings, both of which are precious treasures from the ocean, which can be described as very precious and rare in the landlocked principality of Ryan, and only this value can express Oginez's gratitude and gratitude to the life-saving benefactor.
Since this group was led by Lin An, and the flying clouds that saved them belonged to Athena, Gustav thought twice before he chose the crystalline gems of Nightmare Unicorn and Rainbow Starfish among several candidate gifts for Lin An and Athena.
However, contrary to the current situation, one of the top choices for Athena to make a wand, the crystal gem of the rainbow starfish, and the nightmare whale's single horn was given to Lin An, because when they rescued them, they always thought that the illusion was cast by Lin An, and it was natural that Lin An was likely to specialize in illusion.
Of course, it doesn't matter which one Athena likes now, the important thing is that this can be exchanged for Athena's consent to forcibly use alchemy Feiyun, Gustav was overjoyed, listened to Lin An's words, and said without hesitation:
"There are still two of these nightmare whale horns in the treasury, and the quality is half as good as this one, and when I return to the national capital, I will immediately have someone send it to Miss Athena."
Lin An smiled and shook his head, but knew that Gustav couldn't listen to her refusal at this time, so he got up directly and said, "Then please prepare immediately, I will also inform the other companions, and we will go on the road together." ”
"It should." Gustav nodded.
Since Feiyun can only be used by Athena, then Athena will definitely ride Feiyun with them, and Lin An will never let Athena go back with them alone.
As for Lin An's previous rejection of him, Gustav didn't care.
Lin An's words only vaguely said that this method of forcibly using alchemy Feiyun was a kind of escape hole card given to Athena by their teacher, and Gustav guessed that kind of usage somewhat, if it was him, he would never consume his hole cards for other people's requests, Lin An did not covet his reward before to let his sister consume the hole cards, but made him trust Lin An's character more.
Lin An and Athena returned to the tent, where Salin, Sidney, John, and Titi were already waiting due to the previous notice.
"Why do you suddenly want to go with Gustav and them?" The first to ask was John.
Lin An roughly explained the visit of the three Gustavs last night, "...... Gustav and the others encountered the demon ants, it is probably not an accident, if my guess is correct, now the entire oasis has been targeted by the forces of the Chaos Lands, in other words, we in the middle of it, we cannot continue to follow the Lancet and them, otherwise we may expose the whereabouts of the envoys. ”
This was the reason why Lin An decided to leave, they had to get out of the sight of others.
"But I thought about it for a long time yesterday, what can make Gustav go back so anxiously regardless of his safety, the impact on him and even Ryan must be heavy, we have already saved the heir of the Oginets family once, so this time to help, if Gustav gets through this crisis, then we will definitely get a huge boost, which is worth the risk a little-"
Speaking of this, Lin An looked around at the others, "What do you think?" ”
His gaze swept over one by one, and finally landed on Salin, who pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
