Chapter 174: Cooperation
"Let's go in. Theo said.
Several people walked towards the manor together, their faces were very serious, Sophia was really calm, although her heart was full of puzzlement, but her expression was calm, and she didn't even make eye contact with Dio, just walked silently beside Dio.
Walking all the way to the living room of the small building where Sophia lived, Sophia signaled that Brigitte who followed her did not have to wait, and when Brigitte left the living room and closed the door, Isabel suddenly said, "What trouble are you in here?"
Dio, Gordon, and Raymond were stunned for a moment.
Isabel is a very smart girl, and she can see through it, and this kind of superb star fragment is very precious, so if Dio and they keep it a secret from her, she will not be angry at all, which is normal.
On the other hand, if she knew the origin of these star fragments, would she tell Theo? No, she would only tell her own family!!
Isabel is not merciful, the point is that blood is thicker than water after all!
If her friends are gone, she will only feel lonely, and if her family is gone, she will become a rootless duckweed, and she will even be humiliated and slaughtered by others, no matter how good her friends are, they will not be able to take care of her for a lifetime.
The so-called heart-to-heart, what she can't do herself, will never ask for friends.
What's more, Isabel knew very well that Dio and the others revealed the secret of the star fragments not for friendship, but for the need for help.
Dio smiled: "Actually, it can't be considered a trouble, it's just a little tricky." ”
"Who's that?" asked Isabel directly.
"At present, the Marquis de Sain's men should not have found the mine, only Franvi's men are guarding there. Dio didn't hide it, and said 1510.
"Mines?!" Isabel's face changed suddenly, she originally thought that these star fragments were snatched by Dio and they were about to face the other party's revenge, so she would spit out the truth. But she never expected that Theo and the others would find a top-grade star fragment mining area, once the news spread, I am afraid that not only the Chriss Plains, but also the entire principality will cause a sensation.
"That's right, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have beaten Franvi's idea, after all, even the Marquis of Sain couldn't do anything about him. ”
Isabel fell into deep thought, this news was too shocking for her, it is conceivable that in the near future, there will be countless pairs of eyes on the plain of Chris, and at that time, the situation will become extremely dangerous and complicated, with their strength to participate in it, I am afraid that if they are not careful, there will be no bones left.
But with an entire mining area of the finest Star Fragments, Isabel couldn't refuse the temptation. In fact, Isabel's surname is a bit plain, she thinks that the most important thing in life is to stay happy, what should not belong to her, she will not fight, of course, what should belong to her, she will not let others take it away.
In terms of mind, she is better than Xue Ni, but compared to her hard work in cultivation, she is too far away from Xue Ni, and she is always wandering around and idle, and among the three friends, her strength is the worst. Whenever her family urged her and talked about the divine warriors and the eternal in a longing tone, she listened to it very fascinated on the surface, but in her heart she did not take the words of her family members seriously.
But this matter is of great significance, and will have a profound impact on her family, a mining area of the best star fragments can even determine the rise and fall of a city and a force.
But before she can make a decision, she needs to figure out one thing first, and that is what kind of purpose Dio has in mind. If Dio wants to use her, it doesn't matter, whoever makes her Sophia's good friend can pay for it, but if Dio still wants to use her family, she absolutely can't tolerate it.
After a long time, Isabel looked up at Dio and asked slowly, "What do you want me to do?"
Dio smiled: "It's not you, it's us, a mining area with the finest star fragments is placed there, I'm afraid no one will not be impressed, right? But whether it is compared with the Marquis of Sain or compared with Fran Vibi, our strength seems too weak, you should also know very well, no one can swallow it alone, so we need to unite all our forces to hope to get some benefits." ”
Isabel's heart relaxed, it seemed that Dio really wanted to cooperate, otherwise he would not have been able to say such a thing. That's right, all the forces must be united in order to compete with the Marquis of Sain and the Franvi bandits, not to mention that the enemy is not only them, there will be more people pouring here, without a strong backing support, even if you get the mine, sooner or later it will be snatched away.
"By the way, Sophia, Uncle Don should also inform you. Dio said, turning his head.
Sophia nodded, looking at Dio and stopping.
"What's wrong?" asked Theo, a little strangely.
"Your mentor...... Will it come?"
Hearing Sophia's words, Gordon and Raymond also set their sights on Dio, if Dio's mysterious mentor could appear, then the certainty would be much greater, and it was not impossible to even occupy the entire mining area.
"Where would I know?" Dio smiled bitterly, "but if he was still around, I think it would have happened, after all, something so big." ”
"Dio's mentor?" Isabel was a little curious, she had never heard Sophia talk about it before.
"Yes, I heard Dio say that he is a very powerful warrior, but unfortunately we can't find him. Sophia said with a smile.
Seeing that Sophia was a little vague, Isabel didn't continue to ask, but instead looked at Xue Ni beside her and said, "Then the two of us will go back and inform the family and the academy." ”
"Okay, try to be as fast as you can. Dio nodded.
"Don't worry, it won't be delayed for long, after all, it's not my business alone. Isabel said with a smile.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Theo hurriedly walked out of the room.
In front of Sophia's small building, the wild man leaned his back against the wall, holding the cat in his arms tightly, and was staring at the crowd in front of him with a fierce gaze, until he saw the figure of Dio, the fierce color in the wild man's eyes gradually faded, but he still remained vigilant, his back was slightly arched, and he seemed to be ready to pounce out at any time.
"Dio, who are you bringing back, attacking us!" cried one girl, while the other beside her, pale, clutched her arm.
Dio slapped his forehead, how could he forget this guy...... You don't need to ask Dio to know what happened, it is obvious that these girls see the cute cat in the wild man's arms and want to hug it to play, but how do they know that this cat boy is the reverse scale of the wild man, and they have not even let it go when they are desperate with people, how can they be allowed to touch it at will.
"Where's the injury?" Sophia asked with concern as she walked over to the injured girl, and then looked at the wild man cowering in the corner, wondering how Dio had brought such a dirty man back.
"It's good that I hid faster, otherwise I ......" The girl did not continue, apparently frightened by the situation, and when she took her hand away, Sophia saw that half of the girl's sleeve had turned into strips of rags, and there were several long blood marks on her white arms......
Sophia's eyes were a little wrong, you must know that this girl is a wind light warrior, she couldn't dodge the other party's attack? Even if it happened suddenly, it shouldn't be like this.
"That...... You should also be able to see that he has been staying in the mountains and has never come out, and he doesn't know how to deal with people at all. Dio explained with some headaches.
"That can't be left at that!" shouted a girl in a huff, apparently on good terms with the injured girl.
"yes, yes, it's too much!" the other girls chimed in.
"What I said is true, without him, we wouldn't have found the mine, those superb star fragments, he gave us. Looking at the angry eyes of the girls around him, Dio had no choice but to lie.
"Mine, the best star fragment?!" the girls exclaimed, and their attention shifted to Dio.
By the time Dio told the whole story, the girls had already believed Dio's words, and there was only one explanation for the guy who could give away so many superb star fragments, and he didn't know how precious the thing he gave away was.
What's more, the cause of the incident was not the wild man, it was the girl who had to look at the cat in the other party's arms, which led to such a result, although these girls were arrogant, but they were not unreasonable people, and they no longer blamed the wild man.
Hearing that Isabel and Xue Ni were going back to Santis City for help, several girls whose families had some influence in Santis City also asked to go back together, everyone is not stupid, the matter is there, whoever contributes more will naturally share more when the time comes, this kind of once-in-a-century good thing is broken and will be involved.
As for those who are far away from home, they also have their own methods, they are going to go back to Santis City first and then send the news home, after all, it is still faster by sea, although it is now the season of spring and summer, and the storm sea is very unsafe, but compared to the entire superb star fragment mining area, everything has become less important, of course, they themselves will not take risks.
The girls, who have always paid attention to makeup and have to dress up for a long time when they go out, are unusually neat at this moment, and after deciding to go back, they have already packed up and got into the carriage in less than an hour, and their speed makes Dio and the others a little dumbfounded.
When the girls had left the manor, Sophia and Theo returned to the drawing-room.
"Tell me, what are you going to do next? I don't believe you have such a plan. Sophia said as she looked at Dio.
"That's for sure. Dio smiled and said, "The next thing we have to do is ...... Robbery!"
