A large gold coin is worth about 1 million Huaxia coins when converted.

The black orcs killed by the chariot a few days ago are estimated to cost around 7 million Huaxia coins.

If a piece is worth 1 million Huaxia coins, the amount of gold used will be large, and it will naturally become very heavy.

I didn't weigh it, but it should be around 200 grams in my hand.

500 large gold coins, equivalent to 500 million Huaxia coins, weigh about 100 kilograms.

It may seem unreasonable to ask for such a large amount to be ready in more than two hours, but since they have prepared so much, they may think they can be ready.

After the stalemate of the situation, I made full use of the Heavenly Attribute Detection Magic and continued to search for the Man in Black.

I set up multiple microphones and continued to capture black leaked stories.

The people guarding the doors and windows remained nervous, while the people waiting in the loopholes began to mumble and talk as if they could escape in case of an emergency.

As I pieced together the stories, I gradually understood their plans.

For example, they used Ibro's students as roadblocks because they thought it would be harder for the soldiers to catch them because they feared that hurting them would lead to a backlash from their parents.

On the other hand, though, if Ibro's students were killed or wounded by a group of blacks, there would be a campaign to completely destroy the ghetto, so they seem to have been told not to do anything rough. Be.

"This information is very useful to me."

If you don't have to worry about students outside being harmed, you can focus on protecting the students trapped in the room.

But if they were to be attacked, they would be in a desperate situation and would attack the students.

I didn't plan to let him run away with five hundred gold coins, so I plan to find a way to keep him from running away.

It seems that the five hundred gold coins are going to be carried by the black people.

If you divide it into 10 pieces, it weighs about 2 kilograms, so it's still very heavy to carry.

When the large ransom of 500 gold coins arrives, they buy time by saying that they want to check the amount, and when they fill their bags with 10 gold coins one by one, the black moon man will carry them one by one and escape from the loophole.

It seems that the fifty people who have the money will flee first, and the last ten will use earth magic to seal the tunnels as they flee.

If there are multiple tunnels blocked along the way, it will take a lot of time to track them down.

At the same time, blacks fled safely.

When I told him what I had heard by eavesdropping on the microphone with celestial magic, Professor Mendez was stunned by the black man's strategy.

"Are you thinking about running away and what will happen after you run away, rather than simply asking for money? Is this loophole still related to the slums? ”

"I know some people who seem to be friends even after the magic has been bugged, but I don't know where."

"If you get there, it's going to be hard to trace, right?"

"Yes, if you look from the ground, you can only go into the slums, but with such a dense barracks, it is difficult to find an exit from the hole. I felt like I was stuck. ”

"It seems that we have no choice but to ensure the safety of our students."

With Mendez-sensei's abilities, I think he could easily defeat five to ten men in black, but that was without the hostages.

For example, even a fireball that has no penetrating power can cause severe burns if it hits a student.

"There seems to be no way to move until all the hostages are safe."

"Yes, safety comes first anyway, don't force it."

With the help of celestial detection magic, I was able to determine the whereabouts of the man in black and the shape of the loopholes, but I couldn't grasp the situation outside the education building.

I could feel that there were people stationed about 30 meters away, because I could spot them by touch, but I couldn't tell if they were soldiers or negotiators.

The negotiators kept asking for surrender, but the black-clad chief, of course, would not accept it, and only responded by telling them to hurry up and get the money.

In response to the request for money, he replied that he was currently preparing, but did not know how far the preparation would go.

Just as the impasse over the money that had not yet been received was still going on, the door to the conference room was suddenly opened.

I hurried down the steps and ducked behind Professor Mendez.

"Hey, you, get out."

"What are you going to do with your students?"

"It's just being used as a threat."

"If you threaten me, I'll leave."

"No, no, no, if you don't obey, I'll burn you black!"

It seems that the deadline for asking for money is approaching, and he has come to threaten him with students again.

A nearby teacher tried to go in place of the student, but he refused.

"Teacher, I'm going to go as a student council officer."

"Claudie"

"Okay, come on!"

"Hey, it's a copy."

I couldn't see clearly because I fell down the steps, but judging from the content of the conversation, it was not the student who was originally nominated, but Claudy, whom I met the other day, who was admitted.

After chasing them with probe magic, they seem to be forced up the stairs.

"What's wrong, Hua Wuming?"

"Looks like you're going to be taken upstairs."

"No way, you're not really going to push me off the balcony, are you?"

"I don't know, but it looks like they've been taken to the third floor."

The black-clad leader threatened to push the hostages off the balcony if the money was late.

The ceiling of the school building is higher than that of a normal building, so the balcony on the third floor should be about the same height as the fourth floor of a normal building.

The cobblestones under the balcony extend from the school gate, and if you fall, you can die.

Claudie was taken to the third floor, with her hands tied behind her back, her ankles tied, and blindfolded, standing on the railing of the balcony.

Screams and shouts were heard outside the conference room door, presumably seeing Claudia.

Judging by his tone, it seems that in addition to the soldiers, there is a large group of onlookers.

Claudir was supported behind by a man in black, but he was not visible from below.

"It's almost time to fulfill the promise, but the money hasn't arrived yet!"

"Wait! We are preparing, please wait! ”

"If the church bell strikes four o'clock and the money hasn't arrived, the hostages will be kicked out. If you don't like it, bring the money! ”

I just searched with probe magic and couldn't see him, but I felt that Claudie's breathing was disrupted.

You may not be able to see what's happening below due to being blindfolded, but you should be able to sense the situation you're in through the voice of a bystander and the wind caressing your cheeks.

"Hua Wuming, what's wrong with Claudie?"

"I'm sorry, please let me focus on it, and in return, I will definitely protect you."

If other students knew about Claudy's situation, they would be unhappy.

And, it does take concentration to stay on top of the situation by detecting magic alone.

"Hasn't the money arrived yet?"

You could feel the impatience in Professor Mendez's muttering.

The students in the conference room, who had regained their calm, began to feel uneasy.

Then the church bell rang and announced that it was four o'clock.

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

"It's time!"

"Wait! The money is already coming this way."

"Ahhh

Claudier's body, pushed away by the black suit, flew into the air, and the screams of onlookers and soldiers resounded throughout the conference room.

"Of course, I didn't intend to let you die."

"Airbag cushion"

Even the blast wolf's blow was blocked by the celestial magic's airbag that held Claudie and placed him on the mat on the ground.

I immediately cut the restraint rope with a knife made of celestial magic.

", what's going on! Go to hell! ”

"Shield"

I didn't know the situation, but I put up a shield between Claudie and the education building.

", what is this!"

The black-clad leader shouted angrily, but Claudius stood up and fled with the rushing soldiers.

"Damn, bring me another baby! I'll kill you! ”

"Wait! The money has arrived, and if you harm the child, I won't give it to you! ”

"It's okay, bring it quickly!"

I don't know if it was the last minute to arrive, or if I didn't want to send away the items that had already arrived, but it seemed that the delivery of 500 gold coins was about to begin.
