Chapter Ninety-Eight: Unfriendly Communication
I saw that the wizard raised the free right arm on the other side, and after the five fingers of his right hand moved irregularly, as his lips fanned a few times, his right hand was thrown out in the direction of Su Mu.
Su Mu only saw a ball of sparks being thrown out of the palm of the wizard's right hand, and then it rose against the storm, and in the blink of an eye, it swelled into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than 3 meters.
Before this thing arrived in front of him, Su Mu felt a strong burning sensation coming towards him, he didn't dare to risk testing the power of this thing, so he could only quickly dodge. As a result, Su Mu, who had planned to launch a second round of pursuit immediately after Yui, was forced back by his opponent's fireball.
Because of this, the wizard, who had been in the midst of one blow after another, finally had a little respite to organize his words, and he stared vigilantly at the sudden appearance of the trio in front of him, in case there was any sudden movement on the part of the three: "You don't look like a regular army, but you certainly aren't from our side, because you use their blasphemous weapons. Who are you? Why did you find it here? What do you want to do here? ”
Ye Yuxuan was stunned by the middle-aged wizard's series of questions, and even Su Mu, who was about to come again, braked sharply and stopped in place.
To be honest, Ye Yuxuan really didn't know how to answer, the enemies they had encountered before were all summoned creatures that couldn't speak and had low intelligence, and now they suddenly couldn't turn a corner for a while to the guy who could talk.
What's more, in the hearts of Ye Yuxuan and others, this is just a virtual commission training, and they all come with the mentality that the sooner they finish things, the sooner they get the reward, go home to wash and sleep, how do they know that the beaten NPC will suddenly take the initiative to talk?
But for the "wizard" controlled by AI in front of him, all this is the truth in front of him, there is no way to repeat the mistake, and the sudden danger makes him have to be cautious, and he is even ready to find out the origin and motives of himself and others at this moment!
To be honest, Ye Yuxuan didn't want to communicate with him too much, after all, this was just a temporary AI process, and when the incident was over, all records would be cleared, and telling him anything would be tantamount to wasting time.
"Ignore him, just keep fighting, it's just an NPC." Yui's voice echoed in her mind, and her tone carried the coldness that had once appeared in her eyes, although she herself had tried very hard to hide it, Ye Yuxuan still read a trace of hatred from it, it seemed that Yui should have had some holiday with the wizard.
"Yezi, I think we can talk to him first, even if what we say is useless to tell him, we can get something out of his mouth, since the Dream City claims to be an absolutely real system, I think it is also feasible to do this." Su Mu's voice immediately came from the channel of the neural network, trying to persuade Ye Yuxuan to try to negotiate.
After some entanglement, Ye Yuxuan finally decided to try to negotiate, after all, there is still a lot of connection time left tonight, and there is basically no need to worry about the situation that the commission cannot be completed; Moreover, there are too many mysteries in front of him, and these doubts make Ye Yuxuan can't help but want to ask the guy in front of him who is very likely to know the inside story.
Judging from what this wizard said at the end, he should not have known about the existence of the cadets of Longinus Academy, only the regular army of Longinus City, and it seems that they have not been divided into a category with the regular army for the time being, but only as a third party of unknown origin.
But it is impossible for Ye Yuxuan to make up a good-sounding identity to lower the other party's vigilance, before the other party finished speaking, he rushed up and beat them up, how could it be a friendly force, if it was a mistake, it would be even more stupid, but the three of them chased after others for a long time, how high myopia must be to be unable to distinguish it...... This far-fetched reason will arouse the suspicion of the other party, which happens to have the opposite effect as expected.
So, Ye Yuxuan decided to make a mistake, anyway, he and the others had Longinus's equipment in their hands, and this alone was already unwashable, so don't wash it at all.
"Uh...... We're actually a team of freelance mercenaries who have been commissioned by a mysterious buyer to carry out a mission here. If you ask me, I don't know much. Ye Yuxuan's lie is so casual that he comes out, and his cleverness lies in the fact that seven points in this sentence are true, and only three points are lies, and it just so happens that these three points of lies cover up the most important part of the past, such as the term free mercenary, isn't the student a mercenary in a sense.
"Mercenaries? When will they hire mercenaries too? The middle-aged wizard's eyes widened, and then he asked, "What about the weapons and the mechanical ...... you have in your hands?"
Ye Yuxuan didn't even need to follow the direction of his finger to see that he was talking about the silver-white exoskeleton on Yui's body: "Ah, the buyer saw our equipment too many times and decided to change our outfits, to be honest, I really haven't seen this kind of weapon before." When Ye Yuxuan said this, his expression was very natural, except for the first paragraph, there was nothing wrong with the back of this sentence at all.
The wizard felt a little incredulous, but in the end he took a skeptical attitude, after all, the guy had confessed his identity as an enemy, and he had no intention of letting his guard down.
"As for how we found this place...... Ye Yuxuan said that he deliberately paused, and made a reminiscence and thought: "It seems that you should be a very hidden place, we didn't look for it, the buyer directly airdropped us here with a plane, in fact, we don't know where the plane flew." He still secretly changed the concept of this sentence, and deliberately said that the systematic transfer of functions was an airdrop of an airplane, which was completely unblushing and out of breath.
"And what exactly did your buyer send you here for?" The middle-aged wizard then asked, and it seemed that he had temporarily accepted Ye Zi's status as a free mercenary who was random and messy.
After all, it came to this most difficult problem, Ye Yuxuan had thought about how to get by, but in the end, he undoubtedly had to fight with the other party, and after some weighing, he felt that it was better to tell the truth: "In order to save people." ”
"Save people......" The middle-aged wizard quietly became alert after hearing this word.
"That's right, a grown male, if you're willing to hand him over to us, we'll leave here, and no one will have to make any more sacrifices." Ye Yuxuan deliberately slowed down his tone, although he didn't expect it to work.
Sure enough, the wizard laughed out loud without hesitation: "This is your condition? A child is a child, and you want me to say yes? Impossible! ”
