Chapter 277: Please rest assured

If you come out to buy something, you can be involved in being held hostage by the group, I really don't know if this is due to my bad luck, or if Lucario's own brave aura is too powerful.

But no matter what form and how this incident ends in the end, the victim is destined to have a Diana, first the victim of kidnapping, and then the victim of the group's hijacking, if Diana, who claims to be my personal guard, learns about my current situation, I am afraid that she will faint as soon as possible.

And from what I know about Diana, no matter how this kidnapping ends, this upright paladin will definitely blame himself for all his mistakes, and then there is a good chance that my personal freedom will be severely restricted by her in the future, and I will definitely have an extra centaur bodyguard by my side at least for a few months.

"What does the Nature's Wind organization do?" Diana's problem was not something that could be solved right now, so I decided to turn my attention back to the current situation first.

"Hmm, it's probably a more radical racial equality organization, right?" Before the members of Nature's Wind organization searched for him, Lucario took the time to educate me about Nature's Wind: "The members of Nature's Wind believe that all things are equal, and no one should be given special attention, and if it is a race talent, it is a different matter, but a race like a mermaid who has been privileged by birth, Nature's Wind can be said to be deeply disgusted, so he will call on him in particular, right?"

"Well, let's not mention this weak reason for the time being, in fact, I felt strange when I entered the auction just now, how did this auction do security checks, and if you don't even accept a weapon, you can let people in, and you deserve to be held hostage in the middle of the auction."

"You can't say that, the commercial city is a recognized peaceful region, and any use of force here will lead to a joint reward by the commercial city and other forces, and today is only a very small-scale auction after all, even if you really want to rob, no one will be willing to risk being rewarded by the entire power of the demon territory to grab such something, so there will be such a security negligence, I'm afraid it's really no wonder that the guards of the auction house are really surprised." Lucario shook his head with a wry smile: "The reason why the natural wind appeared this time is definitely because it is only the mermaid and not other auction items, as for the hostage of the bidders at the venue, it is only to be able to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the garrison, although it is said to be a radical organization, but in the credibility part of the natural wind is still quite good, generally as long as they don't take drastic actions, they will not kill the hostages arbitrarily, as long as they tie up the target and put forward their demands for racial equality to the security team that arrives, They will exchange hostages for their own organizational security and retreat quickly."

"Then we just sit here and do nothing, and when they're done, we'll be safe?" I looked up at the special bidders in the box, who were much more upside down than those sitting in the public auction room, and as a sign of their appreciation, the members of Naturewind also provided a special one-on-one hijacking service for the people in the box.

"Yes, in theory, that's true, so please rest assured."

A voice came, this time it wasn't Lucario next to him, but the member of the Wind of Nature who seemed to be the leader, and I don't know when he actually walked up to me and Lucario.

"Uh, it shouldn't be in the way, right?" If there was no surprise, it must have been my calm conversation with Lucario that attracted the other party's attention, so I had to pretend to be a good baby and raise my hand to ask.

"Yes, as long as there is no clear intent to attack or escape, we will not interfere with your actions in particular." The handsome lead man smiled kindly at me, and then stretched out his finger to point to several of his fellow friends who were walking around and patrolling, although they were talking to me on the surface, but in fact they were reminding all the bidders in the venue at the same time: "Let me introduce you to the members of our Natural Winds, my code name is Silver Rat, and I am the leader of this operation, and flying in the sky is our scout and intelligence transmitter Harpy, as the nickname suggests, his race is Harpy is unmistakable, and he has mastered advanced wind magic and various assassination techniques, So if you really want to break through the window or something, please be careful of his movements."

Xiang Shiying said to the silver rat, and the petite Zhengtai, who was a pair of wings in the position of the human hands, turned his head and smiled at me: "Please advise."

"I'm glad I will." I wiped my face embarrassedly, sometimes it is not a good thing to rise too much, and it was used by the other party as a breakthrough to soothe the feelings of the crowd at the scene.

Lucario pursed his lips as if to laugh at my inverted frieze, for which I gave him a liver punch in return.

Lucario bent over like a shrimp clutching his stomach, and these interactions naturally did not escape the Silver Mouse's gaze, but he just smiled and said nothing.

"I'm going to introduce you to our team's assaulter, Sasara." Silver Rat continues to introduce the members of Nature's Winds, this time from Harpy in the air to Green Snake Woman, who moves in a wriggling position on the ground.

The snake girl with two scimitars in her hand hissed strangely, and introduced herself: "I'm Sasara, although the captain introduced me as an assaulter, but I'm actually better at ** than fighting head-on, and occasionally I work part-time as a pharmacist in the team, so if you want to use medicine to charm our people and escape, I advise you to put away that thought."

Listening to the introduction of Silver Rat 6, from the beginning of Harpy and Snake Girl, to later members such as Horned Demon, Skula and so on, all of them are rare races without exception, and the division of labor is also surprisingly perfect, all of which are extended according to the talents of the members' races.

"So normally, how long will this hijacking last?"

Time ticked by, and I had become a bridge between my presence and the winds of nature, and seeing that Lucario had not taken action yet, I decided to continue trying to talk to the silver rat.

"I'm going to ask the security guards of your commercial city." Silver Rat took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, muttering to himself, "Counting the time, they should almost finish the siege."

As soon as he finished speaking, Harpy, who was originally flying in the air, suddenly raised a wind blade in the direction of the wall, and then a man dressed in black with a masked face immediately appeared in the originally empty place.

"Sure enough, the routine in each city is similar, all of them will send people to sneak in to observe the situation first, and then wait for opportunities according to the situation." The silver rat's eyes finally took his eyes off me, and when he turned around and walked in the direction of the man in black, several men in black suddenly appeared in the auction hall, and it was obvious that there was not only one person lurking in the auction room.

Seeing that the Silver Rat and the members of Nature's Wind on the other side had already fought with the Man in Black, I was more concerned about another matter than hesitating whether to escape.

In my impression, the entrance to the auction hall has long been blocked by people from the wind of nature with the items in the venue, so where did these men in black sneak in?

Could it be that the urban legend that there must be a secret way in every auction house is actually true?

Seeing that several bidders who had been obediently cooperating with the men in black before they appeared suddenly got up and joined the battle, I couldn't help but ask Lucario, who was still silent, "Lucario, aren't you going to join the resistance?"

"The gap between the wind of nature and the combat power of the garrison in the city is too great, and considering that the movement caused by my all-out attack is too great, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the masses, now is not the best time to resist." Lucario shook his head, whether it was the overconfidence of the members of the Wind of Nature or the rules of the organization, they didn't take away the bidders' weapons except for all the bidders in the venue, so Lucario was able to continue to reach out and stroke the scabbard he had placed on his thigh while talking to me.

"Well, what do you do with them now that they're not paying attention to us?" Ignoring the guards and bidders' rebels who had been beaten to pieces by members of the Wind of Nature, I chatted with Lucario as if I wasn't being held hostage.

"Very well, let me share my thoughts with you." Lucario nodded, but he didn't expect him to really use his brains to plan an action: "The target of Nature's wind this time is undoubtedly the mermaid at the auction, anyway, the mermaid must have been taken away together when evacuating, and then considering that the members of the Nature's Wind organization are not easy to kill, so as long as we can take the mermaid away from the scene before Naturewind can negotiate with the city guards, then the natural wind that has lost its target should take the initiative to evacuate, and even if they leave, they will not kill the hostages to vent their anger."

"Good idea, but now the question is how are you going to get that merfolk out of the venue?" I visualized the aquarium with the merfolk in a state of confusion, and it was a fool's idea to retreat with the mermaid aquarium.

"Break the aquarium and rescue the mermaid, and then we can escape by jumping out of the window together." Lucario's eyes narrowed, but quickly regained his normal expression, "The glass on the aquarium must have been particularly strengthened, but if I was given a few seconds to recharge, it wouldn't be too difficult to break."

"I'll count, there are nearly thirty members of the Wind of Nature present, how did you plan to run to the exhibition table in front of thirty people to accumulate sword qi, and then save the mermaid and then break the window to escape?" I was not optimistic about Lucario's unthinking plan: "What's more, it's not just the little hobby boy who is good at air combat over there, seeing the winged man with the halberd and the goblin blowing bubbles, these two people don't think the air combat will be weak, not to mention that if you hold the mermaid with your hands free, how do you plan to land?" You know, this is the sixth floor!"

Lucario didn't answer immediately, but patted me on the shoulder with a bright face: "Isn't this still Xu Mo you?" It's almost time for your magic to come in handy."
