Chapter XIX Negotiations
All that remained of the long-standing altar was the ruined walls, and Pons gazed at the temple, which was slightly enlivened by the dazzling light of the sky and the tenacious grass at the base of the wall. [Latest chapter reading.]
The wind in the highlands was always strong, blowing the trees in the distance like waves in the ocean.
Pons walked a few steps in place irritably, and asked, "Why hasn't Niltina come back yet?"
He was not in a good mood at this time, although the Council of the Dead summoned some members from all over the country to carry out the mission and made him the captain, but he was actually very reluctant to make this appointment. For a long time, he was used to being alone and did not like to take responsibility. But he is the highest rank and strongest among the five, so this appointment is destined to be unshirkable.
Blood puppeteer Losar scratched his head and whispered, "Maybe the opponent is more difficult?" When the words came out, he didn't even feel that he could convince himself that tracking down a priest who seemed to be of a very low level would not waste the whole night without news.
"Could it be that you have encountered some trap?" the female necromancer who was sitting quietly next to her looked at her and said, "Athena, what do you say?"
Athena was silent, as if she hadn't heard.
Lokimond shrugged, and for a moment he noticed Cedar and Devne imprisoned beside him, and there was no sign on their calm faces, and he blew the ends of his hair that hung down, and picked up his beloved longbow again to wipe it.
"Looks like she's got a master. Pons said suddenly.
Losar was stunned for a moment, realizing that Pons's eyes were looking down the slope. He immediately shook his short body and ran up to it, tiptoeing around.
Luo Lan and his party were carrying Niltina up the sheep intestine slope.
Pons snorted coldly, some ridicule, some ridicule, and more unexpected.
Hodilk walked at the front, his white robe swaying in the wind, his deep eyes giving an invisible pressure, and he stood on the high slope step by step, his gaze slowly swept over Daphne's beautiful face. Finally, he stopped at Pons and said, "Old friend, we meet again." ”
Pons said in a deep voice, "Hodilk, why do you always appear in front of me whenever I don't want to see you?"
Hodirke was silent for a moment. "Perhaps this is God's will, after all, we choose what path to take." ”
"Don't talk to me about any gods," Pons sneered, "Are you here to stop me?"
Hodirk shook his head and said, "Pons." I don't want to ask what you do, our grievances can wait for the end, this time I came to make a deal with you. ”
He turned his head to look at Luo Lan, who immediately walked up. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency, we are here to negotiate with you." ”
Pons glanced at Niltina, noticing that the latter's face was not good. The expression is also a little sluggish. The voice was questioning. "Swap?"
Luo Lan snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Pons let out a cold laugh. He said, "But you have two people in our hands, how are you going to exchange them?"
Luo Lan and Hodilke glanced at each other, he took a step forward and said, "In addition to releasing your team members, I have one more condition. He raised his voice slightly, "I can tell you where the blood of the saints fell, but you must put all of our people back." ”
Suddenly, a gaze fell on his face, Luo Lan turned his eyes, and Daphne frowned and shook her head at him gently.
He gave the other party a reassuring look, and when he looked back and saw that Pons was silent, he added: "If you can't believe it, I can swear to the God of Light." He believed that Pons would exchange land, and Niltina had told him that if any member of the Council of the Dead fell into the hands of the enemy, any other members present or concerned were not to sit idly by, or else they would be dealt with by the rules of the council.
Pons spoke slowly, "We are here for the blood of the saints, and as for the oath, hmph, you can save it for the next time you pray." ”
Losar's short body jumped up on the spot and shouted, "Boss." ”
Pons stretched out his hand to interrupt his words, and said with compassion, "In order to prove your sincerity, I hope you can exchange a member first." ”
Luo Lan nodded in agreement: "This is reasonable. ”
Pons immediately decided: "Okay, let's exchange." He pointed at Xijiesi and said, "Let her go first." He could see the importance of Daphne Land, so he kept a hand.
Luo Lan was still smiling, and he personally stepped forward with his back to everyone to lift the ban on Nirtina
There was a slight slight movement of her hands and feet, and she walked towards her companions.
As she passed by, she and Luo Landi's eyes exchanged very subtly.
Xi Jiesi was let go, she walked up to Luo Lan and knelt down, lowered her head and said, "My lord, I have been derelict in my duty and have lost the glory of a paladin's servant. She pulled out her sword with a bang,
He picked it up and handed it to Luo Lan, and said loudly: "My lord, please give me a punishment."
Luo Lan stepped forward and gently helped her up, and said with a smile: "Actually, you did a good job, if you hadn't attracted their attention last night, I wouldn't have been able to get out safely,"
"But......" Xi Jiesi suddenly raised her head, her face a little excited.
"Alright," Luo Lan slipped the sword back into her hand and said with relief, "I still need your guard, Xijess Paladin!"
"Yes, sir. Xi Jiesi's expression became firm, and she slowly got up and stood behind Luo Lan again.
Niltina, who had walked to the opposite side, suddenly stumbled in front of the female necromancer, who immediately stepped forward to support her.
After making sure that there was no prohibition on her, Pons turned to face Luo Lan and said, "Okay, now you can hand over the blood of the saints to us." ”
Luo Lan looked at each other and said in surprise: "However, we don't have the blood of saints." ”
Lothar jumped out and cried out, "Don't forget, you still have one more in our hands. ”
Pons stopped him and said coldly, "I think, your words are not finished yet. ”
Luo Lan chuckled lightly and said, "Yes, I just said that I was just telling you the whereabouts of the Holy Blood. But I didn't say I'll give it to you. ”
"It's the same, I can find it if I know where it is. There was a chill in Pons's voice, and he said, "No matter where you are, it's the same." ”
Luo Lan stood still, everyone's eyes focused on him, he slowly raised his hand, suddenly pointed at the female necromancer, and said loudly: "The holy blood is what she obtained!"
Several members of the Council of the Dead team immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.
But Pons didn't even move his eyes, leaned forward slightly, a huge pressure emanated from him, and sneered: "Why do you say that?"
Luo Lan cautiously took a few steps back, and said with a calm expression: "You should know that only she and you, the thief member, and our companion named Flosanders entered the temple that day......"
"Hey," Frosandros protested, "dangerous fellow, you don't have to say my name, do you?"
Luo Lanli ignored him and continued, "And the Guardian Knight didn't hide the holy blood before, so the holy blood must be in the hands of one of the three of them. He pointed to Florsanders and said, "By the dignity of the goddess of nature and the elves, have you ever taken the Holy Blood?"
Flosanders stood up dissatisfied, grinding his lips and saying, "No." ”
Pons couldn't help but be a little moved, an elf swore with the dignity of the goddess of nature and the elven race that there was nothing more convincing on the continent of Apollo than this, even though the elf didn't seem so reliable......
He turned his gaze to the female necromancer and whispered, "Athena, if you can also swear in your father's name, I will immediately seek back your dignity." ”
Athena shook her head indifferently, and she coldly defended: "I am not the first person to enter the temple, and Niltina is also present, she can prove to me that the Holy Blood was gone when I entered the temple." ”
Niltina said lightly, "But, that's what you took!" She suddenly took out a bottle and shook it, "This is what I just found from you!"
Athena was stunned and lost her voice: "Impossible." She subconsciously touched the ring on her hand, but suddenly stopped.
All the people looked at her coldly.
Luo Lan suddenly said loudly: "If you don't do it again, you will let her escape." ”
This sentence seemed to suddenly remind everyone, and a dark green mist suddenly appeared on the female necromancer's body, and the aura of corrosion, death, and festering suddenly diffused.
"Death Cloud!" Losar screamed as he rolled to the side.
Lokimond held the longbow in his hand and was trying to perceive the existence of the target, but found that only at this moment, the other party had flashed to a distance of dozens of meters, and the next moment, he couldn't perceive it at all, he put down the bow hatefully, and said helplessly: "It's a short-distance teleportation scroll." ”
Niltina was the closest, and she reacted the fastest, and after a spun over, she immediately chased in the direction of Athena's flight.
As soon as Pons took a step, Hodilk was already firmly in front of him, and said in a calm voice: "Your opponent is me. ”
Pons looked around and saw that Cejees was standing next to Daphne, and that Rollan and Frosanders were nowhere to be seen. He said in a deep voice, "Lokimond, go after her, remember, it's best not to hurt her if you can." ”
Lokimond nodded, and with his bow on his back, he ran in the direction where his perception was gone.
At this time, Florsanders laughed strangely and said to Losar: "Little man, your opponent is me. ”
