In the extravagantly decorated small box, as the bearded knight's words fell, there was a dead silence.

The three people in the room were faced with a table full of exquisite dishes, not only lost their appetite, but even the interest in conversation had disappeared, but a strange atmosphere gradually spread.

The freckled girl stopped talking, the bearded knight kept pouring wine into his mouth, and the red-haired old man, though with a mocking tone, was actually just as uncomfortable as the others.

Aggressive, aggressive, aggressive......

A clear knock sounded in the room, and the beard remained vigilant even though he had drunk a lot of alcohol, and he reached out and grabbed the broad-bladed sword that was beside him.

But with a "creak", the door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man with a large suitcase walked in, followed by a rabbit girl dressed as a waiter.

"I'm sorry, but I heard you mention the name 'Samanchu' when I passed by here," said the young wizard standing at the door, very sincere. "May I ask if she is exactly twenty-two years old this year, and she is still a very beautiful half-breed?"

Although it was very rude to break in, this young man wearing a wizard's robe without any energy fluctuations on his body looked very much like an ordinary person, and his attitude was not bad.

The freckled girl's eyes lit up, and she wanted to stand up and speak, but the red-haired old man sitting next to her immediately reached out and pressed her right hand on the table.

The freckled girl, who was already about to stand up, immediately sat down again, but her words had already blurted out. "Do you know ......?"

The red-haired old man, who spoke almost at the same time as the freckled girl, immediately denied what she wanted to say. "You heard me wrong! We didn't mention the name 'Saman'!"

As he spoke, the bearded knight's eyes sharpened, and his hand on the broad-bladed sword seemed to increase its strength.

A smile appeared on his face. The young wizard with the large suitcase walked slowly to the table, pulled a chair and sat down, and turned his head to whisper to the rabbit girl standing in the doorway. "Please close the door!"

With a very uneasy expression on her face, the rabbit girl mechanically turned around and closed the door, and then her hands were twisted together as if she didn't know where to put them, and soon her knuckles were too pale because of the force.

"I don't have any ill will, I hired a second-level wizard apprentice named Samanqi four years ago, and she was later promoted to the level of third-level wizard apprentice with the help of the resources I provided," the young wizard sat at the table. It's like recalling carefully, and the speed of speech is slow. "But then something happened to her family, so it is said that after she signed some agreement, she left all the proceeds to my family, and then disappeared......"

With the young wizard narrating. The freckled girl's eyes widened, and she finally couldn't help but shout. "You ......"

But the red-haired old man who held her right hand down. But it was interrupted again. "Shut up!"

The red-haired old man stopped again. The face of the young wizard sitting there sank, but after a moment's hesitation, he raised his right hand resting on the table and began to wave.

The faint aura of energy began to gather, and the three people who were shocked at this all stood up, raising their vigilance as if they were ready to take action.

But the young wizard sitting there with a large suitcase in one hand waved his fingers to himself. There was no intention of stopping it.

But the three people who stood up almost simultaneously found that they had been suppressed by the confinement place at some point, and they were no longer able to move!

Fingers were waving slowly but firmly, but the image of Shamanchu in Raymond's memory had become a little blurry. In the end, it was only after the chip retrieved the previous record that he succeeded in outlining the outline of Shaman's retreat with his mimetic technique, and a moment later, a three-dimensional avatar of Shaman's retreat appeared in front of him, and began to rotate slowly on the round table.

"I said I had no ill intentions when I came in," the young wizard's right hand began tapping on the table, staring at the three men in different positions who were imprisoned there. "If the Shamanchu you discussed earlier is the person I am talking about, then please tell me directly, no matter what problems she has now, because I owe her a favor!"

The bearded knight's face was full of horror, the red-haired old man's pupils constricted, but only the freckled girl seemed to not mind being imprisoned, and there was anticipation in her excited eyes.

As soon as her mind moved, the confinement that had been imposed on the freckled girl was lifted, and she immediately shouted in surprise. "You're the second-level wizard Lord Raymond who helped Sister Shaman's advance to the next level?"

"I'm Raymond, but I'm no longer a second-level wizard," a smile appeared on Raymond's face who didn't expect Shamanqi to talk so much to this freckled girl. "Now tell me everything, what kind of rescue does Saman need to evacuate?"

With surprise on her face, the freckled girl who leaned down on the round table wanted to reach out and grab Raymond's right hand, but unfortunately she couldn't reach it, so she had to sit down with a smile and quickly speak.

Shaman, a beautiful half-breed girl, signed an agreement with the Explorers Guild in Talir City three years ago because of little Stasi's forced debts, and gave her ten years in exchange for a large sum of hedrons, which she sent to little Stasi.

Young, beautiful, and just promoted to a third-level wizard apprenticeship, Shamanchu finally formed a team with the three people present to hunt and explore the northern ice fields to obtain the resources they needed and the necessities they needed to survive.

The red-haired old man is the leader of the team with no hope of advancing to the official wizard, the bearded knight is the backbone of the team, and the freckled girl is the lowest strength in the team, only reaching the level of a second-level wizard apprentice.

However, after being assigned to this team, Shaman, who was extremely sensitive to the aura of certain magical beasts, greatly increased the gains of this team, so she also relied on the excess gains to gradually reduce the term of her agreement.

However, some time ago, due to a somewhat risky exploration, this team clashed with another team, and Shaman, who was resisting and covering, was unable to escape in the end, resulting in being captured by that team.

Speaking of this, a freckled girl with indignation appeared on her face, and there was grievance in her eyes. "Although we crossed the border, there was no way to identify the boundary line in that kind of place, and we didn't enter the core area to explore......

Listening to the freckled girl's story, Raymond lifted the confinement of the other two with a wave of his hand, the red-haired old man's face was cloudy, and after sitting down, he thought but did not say anything, while the bearded knight sat down honestly with a happy face.

Raymond, who roughly understood the reason for the incident, directly began to ask questions. "So what are the requirements of the team that captured Saman's withdrawal now?"

"Two days ago, he said that as long as we compensate for one hundred high-grade spars, we can release people," the freckled girl with bulging cheeks was very indignant. "But when we got enough hedrons, they suddenly raised the ransom amount!"

"If you just raise the ransom demand, then things will be easier to deal with," Raymond's expression softened, sensing the freckled girl's indignation. "So how much ransom is needed for Samanqi who is being held there by the other party now?"

"They asked to pay three thousand high-grade spars before they were released, where can we afford such a amount!"

"Three thousand high-grade spars is equivalent to the cost of hiring twenty first-level wizards for a year, which seems to be a bit too much," after a little calculation, Raymond came up with a figure that made him staggering. "Shaman's withdrawal is just a third-level wizard apprentice, why would the other party ask for so much ransom?

Raymond's question made the freckled girl a little dazed, but after sitting down, she had been observing the red-haired old man, but after sighing, she told the reason...... (To be continued......)
