"Yes!" replied Hasting, without hesitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cold killing machine immediately surged from Han Fei's heart, since the other party coveted the Book of Wind so nakedly, then there was no room for negotiation, only to completely kill it was the most correct choice.
As a high-level ** master, Hastings was keenly aware of Han Fei's murderous aura, and he immediately realized that his answer had caused some kind of misunderstanding to Han Fei, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Your Excellency Han Fei, please don't misunderstand, I don't want to snatch your things, but hope..."
"You can lend it to me to read for a few days!" Hasting's eyes became hotter: "I am willing to pay enough for this, if you have any conditions, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse!"
Borrow a few days, dream! Han Fei sneered in his heart.
Making the best use of things is his principle of dealing with things outside of his body, and in Han Fei's opinion, no matter how precious an item is, if it can't be useful, it is worthless, so he generously lent the Book of the Wind to Aurelian to deal with the difficulties.
However, this does not mean that Han Fei will treat the treasure as a mustard, there is also a premise for him to lend the book to Aurelian, firstly, Aurelian herself is trustworthy, and secondly, she is a contract mage of the Izumo Chamber of Commerce.
But this mage in front of him is different, God knows what kind of reaction he will have when he borrows the Book of Wind, high-level mages have all kinds of escape methods, and wind mages are even better at speed, once they run away, Han Fei has nowhere to find them.
"I don't have the slightest interest in your price, if it were me, would you lend the Book of the Wind to someone you just met?" Han Fei said unceremoniously.
"No," Hastings said abruptly, the glint in his eyes suddenly extinguished, and it was clear that he was asking too much.
"Your Excellency Han Fei, I'm willing to pay any price, it's okay to become your follower!" he immediately raised his head, and a glint of hope rekindled in his eyes: "If you can give me the Book of the Wind, I am willing to swear eternal allegiance to you!"
The follower is equivalent to the subordinates of the guard knight and the samurai, but there is no contractual relationship with the follower, and with Hasting's identity and strength, volunteering to become a follower of Han Fei at the same level is definitely surrendering his identity.
"I'm really sorry, it's impossible!" Han Fei said without hesitation, "This Book of the Wind is a gift I am going to give to someone, you still have to die of this heart!"
To say that Han Fei is not at all impressed, it must be false, with the strength of this wind system ** master, it is not only an honor to have such a follower, but also a powerful boost, and what Han Fei lacks most now is all kinds of talents.
However, Hasting's purpose was too clear, and Han Fei was not interested in his oath of loyalty, and he had a faint rejection of this person.
His three and two pleas were ruthlessly rejected by Han Fei, and a trace of anger suddenly flashed in Hasting's eyes, he took a deep breath and asked meaningfully, "Your Excellency Han Fei, are you really unwilling to cut your love?"
"I think my answer is already very clear!" Han Fei said lightly, the innate true qi in the Qi Sea Dantian was flowing rapidly, and the preparations for the battle were completed in an instant.
But Hastings didn't make the worst choice, he looked at Han Fei deeply, sighed and said, "That's a pity, goodbye!"
As soon as the words fell, the giant eagle seated by Hastings flapped its wings and flew high, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
The murderous intent in Han Fei's eyes was annihilated little by little, he had always believed in the principle that no one would offend me, I would not offend anyone, and he didn't want to have a life-and-death duel with the other party before Hastings showed obvious hostility, and it was a wise choice for Hastings to retreat in the face of difficulties.
Don't try to challenge my bottom line!Han Fei silently said to this wind system ** master in his heart, he felt that the other party would not give up because of this.
After staying in the air for a moment and confirming that the other party was far away, Han Fei returned to the Snow Gull.
"My lord, is something wrong?" asked Captain Luman with concern.
"It's just a trivial matter, now it's settled!" Han Fei said with a smile.
"That's good!" Lu Man nodded, facing the blowing sea breeze, he pointed to the vast sea in front of him and said loudly, "My lord, ahead is our Nederin Sea, we are about to leave the offshore sea!"
Entering the Nedrin Sea, the color of the sea gradually becomes darker, and the depth of the ocean is far from being comparable to the near sea, and the seagulls that often appear no longer appear around the Snow Gull, indicating that there are no islands around, but more and more creatures haunt the sea.
A few playful blue dolphins chased the Snow Gull, and they swam quickly in the water, rushing from the stern to the bow of the boat in an instant and then leaping into the air with a cheerful hissing sound, and everything seemed so beautiful.
But this atmosphere of peace and tranquility did not last long, and after nightfall the wind and waves suddenly became stronger, and the wind and rain hit the Snow Gull, and the small sailboat tossed violently in the wind and waves, and seemed to be about to capsize at any moment.
However, Lu Man and the others are excellent sailors who are accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and they are not afraid of anything in the face of wind and waves.
With them, Han Fei could sleep comfortably in the hammock in the cabin, and his time at sea was not short, he had long been accustomed to this kind of bump.
The next morning, the wind and waves gradually subsided, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the golden sun shone again on the blue sea.
But the Snow Gull's troubles are not over, and they are just the beginning!
"Captain, no, there's a swarm of tiger sharks near us!" a sailor on duty who was in charge of the lookout hurriedly entered the cabin and reported to Lu Man, who was having breakfast with Han Fei.
"Reverse tiger shark group?" Lu Man was obviously taken aback, and immediately put down the utensils in his hand and asked, "How many?"
The sailor smiled bitterly: "There are at least hundreds, it may be a large group, but no trace of the Shark King has been found!"
"I'll go take a look and order everyone to get ready for battle!" Lu Man said in a deep voice.
Seeing this situation, Han Fei couldn't eat half of his breakfast, and returned to the deck with Lu Man.
The sailors of the Snow Gull were in a hurry to prepare for battle, and several ship-loaded crossbows were pushed to the side of the ship, and the rain-proof felt cloth was lifted, and these sharp weapons immediately showed their hideous fangs, and the crossbow arrows with triangular metal arrows pointed straight into the sea.
I saw a large number of sharks appear on the surface of the sea less than half a mile away from the Snow Gull, and the dark backs and triangular dorsal fins were clearly visible, and they appeared in the three directions of the ship, almost completely surrounding the Snow Gull.
The anti-tiger shark is not famous, it is a third-order marine spirit beast, it sounds like the level is not high and the strength is not strong, but the terrible thing is that they are social spirit beasts, they are always out in groups to hunt, and they pose a great threat to the small ships sailing on the sea, and they can be called one of the biggest enemies of the sea adventure merchants, and they have the nickname of the sea wolf pack.
Tiger sharks have sharp teeth, can easily tear through hard objects, they are large and powerful, a body of thick skin is extremely tough, several tiger sharks together can overturn a small sailboat, although the Snow Gull is built extremely strong, but in the face of so many tiger sharks, it is also powerless.
"Prepare to attack, don't let them come close!" Luman exclaimed.
The Tiger Shark is also a rather cunning sea spirit animal, they will attack small ships in groups, but they will not dare to besiege medium and large ships far beyond them, as a captain of a medium-sized warship, Lu Man rarely encountered such a situation.
However, Lu Man's heart was not much worried, although the Reverse Tiger Shark was fierce and difficult, Han Fei on the ship was a Sky Warrior, and with him, it was impossible for this group of Reverse Tiger Sharks to set off much of a storm.
Whoosh!
The two heavy crossbows fired crossbow arrows at the sea at the same time, and the two-meter-long heavy crossbow arrows swept over a distance of more than 100 meters, accurately and ferociously hitting the two reverse tiger sharks that were rushing through the waves, piercing through their backs!
The skin and flesh of the Tiger Shark are certainly tough and difficult to hurt with a sword, but the heavy crossbow carried by the Snow Gull is a high-grade military weapon, and the three-edged crossbow arrows fired can easily penetrate the heavy armor at this distance, but it is not something that their flesh can resist, and the body of the arrow pierces through their bodies fiercely, and the two Tiger Sharks struggle violently, and the bright red blood immediately stains a large area of the sea.
A stunned scene appeared, the tiger sharks following them immediately rushed up, and began to bite around their seriously injured companions, the bloody breath obviously stimulated their beast instincts, and the two unlucky tiger sharks were quickly torn to pieces and became the food for the other tiger sharks!
Stimulated by blood and food, the other tiger sharks accelerated towards the Snow Gull, and the water lines crossed the sea, as if hundreds of torpedoes were coming at the Snow Gull from different directions at the same time!
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The four heavy crossbows on board the ship fired crossbow arrows at the fastest frequency, but because the number of sailors was too small, the speed at which one person could wind a heavy crossbow was too slow, but after firing two waves of arrows, a few tiger sharks rushed to a place only ten meters away from the sailboat, and their fangs were clearly visible.
At this time, Han Fei finally moved!
