Chapter 283: Profiteers' Negotiations
Ivan watched the two girls silently, the wolf grabbing Aisha's arm, and Aisha stared at him with a weeping gaze. Blood-red footprints were drawn on the floor of the warehouse.
Hunter spat out a sentence, "Take care, young master!" gritted his teeth and followed the little wolf, helping the little wolf to hold Aisha. "We're waiting for you in front!" said Bob, who ran over to help the wolf.
"Don't move. Ivan leaned sideways and stared at the golden puppet of Kriz. The golden puppet still held two shiny cannon arms, and at this critical moment, he couldn't let Kritz hurt Aisha and them!
If there was any movement in Krize's puppet that made him feel the source magic gushing out, he might rush out with these magic crystals to fight Kritz! However, Kritz did not move.
Aisha's shouts faded away, and they, indeed, were gone.
A boulder that weighed on my heart finally fell, but with it came a feeling of emptiness as cold as night. It was as if a piece of his chest had been dug out suddenly, and Yin Sensen's chill overflowed from the hollow, and the red fire around him was like a beautiful red lotus blooming, but he seemed to have fallen into a pitch-black abyss
Kritz's gaze was like a sharp knife with substance, fixed on his body. There's not enough time, they have to delay a little longer, Aisha and they shouldn't be far from this warehouse, once Kritz sends the puppet to chase them, it will be difficult for them to escape!
After a half-minute stalemate, Kritz spoke.
"We can talk about it, humans who can do magic. ”
The dark brown goggles obscured King Nome's eyes, but a sinister smile rose from under his shaky beard, "You use magic as a weapon, but I have a way to deal with it! Blow up my warehouse, you won't be able to think of anything!"
Ivan stared at him intently. What does Kritz mean by this suddenly......? Does he want to negotiate?
"You put down the magic crystal in your hand. Kritz grimaced. The magic guide crystal in Ivan's hand is no longer on fire, but it still radiates a threatening red light, "Don't scare me, put it down!"
It seems that Kritz still more or less believes that he is capable of blowing up the warehouse. Since this is the case, the magic guide crystallization can't be put down. Ivan gripped the magic crystal and took a step back.
He can't leave the warehouse now. If you leave the warehouse, his threats won't work. He knew there was a downward passage behind the warehouse, but he couldn't go.
"What the hell are you trying to do, human? I've released all the other humans! I've even released the little wolf! Fuck! Do you know what the little wolf does? Do you know how many soldiers she killed my Nome tribe? I'm afraid you don't know that you're fighting the whole Nome tribe! Human, this is the territory of the Nome tribe! If you want to live, let go of the magic crystal in your hand!"
Kritz seemed to be furious, his beard blowing high, and his thunderous roar was deafening. If it weren't for the fact that the little wolf had heard what Kritz had done beforehand, his stern appearance might have really scared people, but for now, Ivan just stared at him silently.
Kritz moved the puppet. Ivan's heart jumped, and he almost set the magic crystal in his hand on fire, but Kriz only made the puppet lower the two cannon arms. "I'm sincere! Lay down your arms!"
Several of the soldiers sitting on the silver puppets looked at each other, and then obeyed the king's orders, lowering the fire-breathing metal pipes, and the other Nome soldiers lowered their tomahawks at the same time.
Ivan's heart was beating like crazy. Although Kritz looked like he wanted to negotiate, when he thought that the Nome king had cooperated with the demons, had ordered Lockevon to make weapons for the demons, and had driven those craftsmen to the point of homelessness, Ivan secretly decided that he could not trust him.
“...... What the hell do you want?" Ivan asked softly, his eyes narrowly scanning all the Nomes outside the door, "Are you really going to let us all go?"
"I'm the King!" Kritz yelled at him, "The King counts! We Nome are ushering in a new era, humans, you seem to be very good at using magic crystals, we can work together!"
"Just like you did with the demons?"
At this time, Ivan only felt a surge of anger surging above his head, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Kritz's face froze instantly.
"What do you know?" Krize's face became more and more somber, "What did the little wolf tell you?
Ivan closed his mouth. If Kritz knew about his relationship with the wolf cub and the Nome craftsmen, he would have done everything possible to get their hiding place out of his mouth. He couldn't let Kritz know the whereabouts of the craftsmen.
"I guess the little wolf sued you. She was right. I'm cooperating with the demons for the sake of our Nome clan!" Kritz slammed his fist on the refining crystal baffle in front of the puppet, and a king's momentum erupted from his short body, "Do you understand, humans? We need more powerful weapons to protect our land and our Aurora Mountains! If we don't develop, the Nome weaponry will come to a standstill! Magic crystals are the best material! Those stupid craftsmen, they don't understand what kind of power these gems contain!" You must understand it! You must understand that only magic crystals are the best materials for making weapons!"
"I don't think so. Ivan scrutinized him, "And I don't think the demons will help you. ”
"Demons? I have nothing more than a business relationship with those demons. Kritz wrinkled his nose and snorted disdainfully, but his face was pale, "Witch...... The witch needs food to feed her slaves, and she needs a batch of weapons for her slaves! We Nome have done a lot of business with you humans, and we have sold you a lot of weapons, right? As long as it is beneficial to the Nome people, what does it have to do with the demons?"
The corners of Kritz's mouth twitched, and that eerie smile was reminiscent of the cunning Jiān Shang. "As long as you tell me everything you know, I can give you whatever you want! Humans like gold very much, right? I have gold here! Put down the magic crystal! You don't have to fight with me, you don't want to die, can we?"
The golden puppet slowly approached the blasted iron door a few meters. Suddenly, Ivan noticed that all the Nome soldiers were following Kritz, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He jerked up the magic crystal.
"Don't come here, or I'm going to blow up the warehouse!"
"How can there be such a stubborn human in the world!" Kritz shouted angrily, his expression changing from impatience to anger and then to cunning like a merchant in a short moment, "If you think about it again, I think you seem to be very tired......"
Somewhere the sound of metal grinding sounded.
A crossbow bolt suddenly shot out from under the golden puppet's head, and by the time Ivan spotted it, he had no time to dodge. The bolt swooped through the air and stabbed into his arm.
The magic crystal fell from his hand.
