Chapter 553: Stealing the Teacher Ifusen Eight, Negotiating
It's like building a building and the foundation is destroyed, or stopping the superstructure and repairing the foundation. Jiao Ming thought that there were some enchanted items or magic prohibitions around, so he jumped out of the hiding corner and teleported again, but he still failed.
"Hmm, what'......s the situation?" Jiao Ming scratched his head in confusion, and in the next moment, he broke out in a cold sweat again, and secretly said in his heart: "There are still people."
Looking around in the darkness to no avail, the communication qi magic medium vaguely swept around, but it was still fruitless. Jiao Ming's heart sank further, and he was at least a defensive and skilled Qi Eight Ring. After a moment's deliberation, say the greeting that you have learned these days: "May the light of the sacred tree shine on you and me." ”
There was a moment of silence, and just when Jiao Ming began to suspect that he was too worried, a voice came from the darkness, repeating faintly: "May the light of the Divine Tree shine on you and me, Master Jiao Ming." ”
Jiao Ming immediately swept towards the source of the sound with vague spatial fluctuations, but found nothing. At the same time, I noticed that this voice was vaguely familiar, and after a little recollection, I remembered that this was a colleague who had been with me for a few days. The name is roughly Diller or Dieler, the eight-ring qi magician, with two junior qi priest classes, and the whole school's qi magic defense class.
And then the heart sank to the bottom, theoretically this person should go out for a big meal, but not squatting here. Then there is no doubt that I should have fallen into the 'pit', but I don't know if this pit was specially prepared for me, or if I was unlucky enough to step into it by mistake.
While Jiao Ming was thinking wildly, the other party spoke again, as if explaining something. Jiao Ming could only smile bitterly and shake his head, the language barrier made even the negotiation a delusion. Conditions such as 'give yourself some benefits and leave' or 'don't want the library to be ruined' and so on, you can't say anything like that.
"Sorry, I don't understand. ”
When the other party paused, Jiao Ming had no choice but to hold back these two words. At the same time, he took out the magic addiction potion used in the excitement, and planned to forcibly teleport away. Since it is an eight-ring, Jiao Ming is confident that he does not need to 'cut off the tail of the gecko', and only needs some effort to create a gap to run away.
However, when he chose the space mark on Dieda's body as the target, Jiao Ming sighed secretly and gave up his plan to fight for the control of the qi system magic medium. Because the spatial marker of Butterfly is moving towards this side at a speed that it is impossible for it to be, it is obviously under control. And Dieda, a rare talent, not only has the need to be retained, but also may bring some changes to the stalemate.
In the next moment, there was the sound of windows shattering outside the door, and then the large iron door that closed the vault area slowly opened, and the lights came on. Jiao Ming turned his head and saw that Dieda was being narrated...... The eight-ring water system enchanted teacher was clipped under his armpit. As for this small room, there is still no figure of the eight rings of the qi system.
"Are you alright?" Jiao Ming asked with concern.
"It's fine. Butterfly nodded slowly.
The master and servant exchanged briefly, and Geshu and the Eight Rings of the Qi System were also talking, and judging from the bewildered expression on the former's face, it was obvious that he was just the kind that acted according to orders, and he didn't know the reason at all. However, the simple-minded man was also obedient, and as soon as he asked and answered, Gelshu became wary of Jiao Ming, although there was still a little apology on his expression.
"What are they talking about?" Jiao Ming continued.
"Say we're bad guys. ”
"Bad guy?" Jiao Ming couldn't help but laugh.
Presumably, it was easier for Gel to understand. Butterfly, still under her armpit, guessed maliciously.
Jiao Ming also rolled his eyes, realizing that this was probably the case. "Let's start negotiating and ask them what they want?"
Dieda nodded and began to communicate with the faceless Qi Eight Rings. And the performance of Jiao Ming's master and servant duo in these days also makes everyone understand Dieda's identity as a translator, and it is obvious that the school's senior management also understands this and sent Dieda.
And this time the negotiation was unexpectedly short, and after a few words, Dieda said to Jiao Ming with a solemn face: "They don't ask for anything else, as long as we wait here for the principal to return." After that, he will let us go with the guarantee of his life, otherwise he will desperately leave us behind. ”
"What do you think?"
Butterfly pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I guess they mistakenly thought that you were an ascetic powerhouse from a remote area, and they didn't realize that we came from the union of kingdoms. Plus, you're just sneaking into a forbidden place, and your sins are limited. So there is still basic goodwill. As long as you stick to these two points, you should be able to get through. ”
Jiao Ming nodded, although he had a similar guess in his heart, he was not as clear as Dieda.
"Finally, a word of caution, even if they do something to me, please keep an indifferent expression, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. ”
Jiao Ming nodded again, of course he understood what kind of variables might be produced in the consciousness of these strong people who do not treat the people at the bottom as people, the difference between the two identities of 'translator' and 'woman who cares'.
But then, Jiao Ming had a strange idea, in the case of language barriers, it was really a bit exciting to 'confess' in person. And in that case, why not take it a step further.
"This thing is quite stunned, can you find a way to rebel?"
Dieda was stunned for a moment, turned her head to peek at Geshu who was leaning upward, and frowned: "This ...... If I had studied more doctrinally......"
Forget it, those scriptures are harmful to people who have an unstable outlook. Promise them. Jiao Ming said as he sat cross-legged on the ground, and stretched out his hand to signal Ge Shu to sit down. However, the latter remained vigilant, and only replied with a thank you.
The situation was at a stalemate again, and for about ten minutes or so, there was a violent spatial fluctuation in the room. Jiao Ming jumped back and motioned for Geshu to get out of the way.
After two or three breaths, there was a whistling of air, and three figures appeared in the middle of the room. But it was the old woman guarding the second floor, the old principal, and another teacher who was suspected of being the ninth ring. However, at this time, the appearance of the three of them was extremely bad, not only was they covered in blood and wheezing like bellows, but the old principal even lost his legs.
Seeing the three of them look so miserable, Jiao Ming's pupils shrank, and his heart was worried. Judging from the violently fluctuating qi and water magic mediums, the old woman and the old principal were already comparable to the nine rings at this time. The other momentum is not lost, and it should be above the nine rings. Obviously, the three of them worked together to pinch themselves to death, and it should be easy.
In addition, although I don't know if it is so strong in the first place, or if it is stimulated by medicinal power, or even returned to the light. One thing is for sure, these three old men, who were already on the verge of death, are obviously in a state of exhaustion of oil lamps, and at worst, they will probably not see the sun tomorrow.
has only been together for a few days, and Jiao Ming does not have much friendship with the three of them. But out of human instinct for the dying person, the heart is also uncomfortable, so I just wait and see what happens.
The three old fellows relieved themselves, asked each other a few words, and then laughed in unison. The old headmaster and the other laughed and laughed, but their mouths were choking. Only then did Ge Shu come back to his senses from his astonishment, and hurriedly dropped Dieda and stepped forward for treatment, but was persuaded by the old principal to retreat.
Jiao Ming wanted to ask Dieda, 'What did they say?', but looking at the situation at this time, he still held back. It would be best if all three old guys forgot about themselves before they died.
But Jiao Ming thinks so, others don't. There was a slight spatial fluctuation, and the Qi Eight Rings that stopped Jiao Ming appeared and talked to the three old men for a few words, and then everyone's eyes fell on Jiao Ming.
Jiao Ming was awkward for a while, and took out that greeting again: "May the glory of the sacred tree shine on you and me." ”
The three old guys looked at each other and nodded slightly, but they didn't answer with the same words, but the old headmaster beckoned Dieda to translate. And in a sense, negotiations have officially begun.
Dieda, who was interpreting at the same time, was a little nervous at first, but after entering a familiar state of work, her voice gradually became stable and coherent, and even increased her speaking speed, bringing out some opinions and suggestions.
Jiao Ming was once again impressed by Dieda's ability, and had a deep feeling that his brain power was suppressed. And the reason why it was so easy was that the three old guys really didn't mention it about sneaking into the library's secret area, let alone doubting Jiao Ming's identity, but entrusted Jiao Ming to do things.
And this thing sounds very simple, in summary, it is to take one thing and go to the three areas in the center of the mainland for a few years, and wait for the letter to return.
But Dieda and Jiao Ming could both hear that there must be something to hide from the danger.
"Dare I ask what this is?"
The old woman flicked her wrist and teleported a ball and threw it at Jiao Ming.
Jiao Ming fished it in his hand and observed it carefully. It is quite heavy to start with, the size of a tennis ball, and the surface is dark gray metallic. From the perspective of communicating the magic medium of the qi system, it can be found that it involves several thin spatial channels.
Judging only by these spatial passages, this thing is undoubtedly a decoy, and there must be a strong enemy tracking it. Jiao Ming wanted to pretend to be stupid and pretend to agree, but considering the 'Mu Ne' character that had collapsed, he finally put out his mind of pretending to be confused and chose a more straightforward way.
"How strong will I face, and how will the reward be calculated?"
Dieda didn't expect this response, and was stunned, but she still translated, after all, hesitation and exhortation will make the situation worse.
"You're a smart man, and we won't hide it from you. This ball is only one of them, and it is estimated that the rest can only be delayed for half a year, and then there will be nine rings to chase after it. As for the pay, you applied for our school, apparently to learn magic from the tree elf Eleanor. It's better to make this a condition. We use space magic to exchange letters, and I use my authority to convey your questions about magic. I swear by my credibility that I will not hide my neglect. ”
"I'm going to get permission myself. and communicate with Eleanor the Dryad in person. Jiao Ming raised the price.
First of all, if he is really a wild powerhouse, he has never understood magic by himself, and only asks some superficial things, and it is nothing to be separated by a layer, and he will not be fooled by this old man. But what he wanted to inquire about and the process of interacting with Eleanor were all kinds of shocking, and he must not leak them to this shrewd old man.
Secondly, it is not known how long these three old guys will live, and if they die tomorrow, this condition will not be a joke.
"Are you worried we're going to die?"
"Aren't you worried about yourself?" Jiao Ming asked subtly.
The three old guys looked at each other and smiled, and it was the old headmaster who spoke.
"Even if we die, we still have acquaintances, and of course this little thing will not be broken. ”
"I insist. Jiao Ming pondered for a moment and came up with a reason. "The equipment in our school is not the same as the rumored ones, and it seems that something is wrong, and we can only go to other colleges to complete the registration through your connection. If you miss this opportunity and get further involved in trouble, offending some big people, even if you are lucky enough to survive after everything is over, other colleges will not take you in, and you will never have a chance. In addition, Yu Jiuhuan kept fleeing, and how much time did he have to study during the period? It's better to communicate face-to-face for half a quarter. ”
These words are reasonable, the old headmaster nodded, but his face was sad. The old woman interjected, pointing to the empty wall, "That thing has been stolen, and we can't do anything about it." ”
"You're just kidding your juniors. The three of them were so embarrassed, but they looked relaxed, obviously they snatched things back, didn't they?"
The old woman snorted coldly and stopped talking, which was also a kind of acquiescence. The old headmaster had already made up his mind and spoke again.
"As you say, we did snatch it back and hide it. but
"I'm going to get permission myself. and communicate with Eleanor the Dryad in person. Jiao Ming raised the price.
