Chapter 690 (1/1)
It's not surprising that Lothar would say that the environment of lost heart Bay is special. Once the witch group really decides to launch a battle against the sea demon, the whole city will have no way out. Only by defeating the sea demon can we get to the outside world. It is precisely because of this, the normal rulers would never give such orders, because their practice is no different from binding the whole city people to their own warships. If this war fails, under the Revenge of sea monsters and the lack of food and water, there will not be many people in the lost heart bay to survive. This is a crazy move, but the witches don't care. After all, they have lost several senior witches for this war. This investment fully shows the witch group's attitude towards it, and it's life and death.
”Maybe I can find a safe haven for you, if circumstances permit.” Peg lowered his head and whispered. She did not have the confidence to find a safe area in the war, but as a witch, she was not allowed to admit her powerlessness. Fortunately, soon, she shook her head and drove the bad feeling away. ”Don't be so pessimistic. This battle may not go on. The sirens must also control their own casualties. If they accept the conditions of the great witch, the result may not be so bad. ”
Neither Lothar nor the webworm was prepared to accept the idea. They all know the rules of the war game. Just as the Witch wants to get lost heart Bay in its pocket, why don't the sea monsters want to solve the human beings who pass over their heads every day? The struggle for land, whether on the ground or at sea, is the same and cannot tolerate half concession.
”No more about that.” Peggy saw the expressions on their faces and decided to skip the hopeless topic for a while. ”What about the sea monster with you? I don't know much about the sea king egg and the lietao clan, but he should know a lot. Now we need his help
Lothar's face darkened at the mention of fioni, and he sighed, ”if you're looking for him, it's better for you to come forward. As far as I know, Captain haftan has entrusted the matter to someone else, and he is now in the hands of the slavers, waiting for a good price. I knew the location of the cell, but the security was so tight that I tried twice and couldn't find a chance. Therefore, the safest way is for the witch to come forward and directly use money to redeem him
Peggy thought for a moment. ”No, it's too obvious for us to buy it. I'm afraid I can't send him back to you by then. The best way is to find a person who sounds able to buy him as our agent. This is more secure and more in line with the style of work here. But the problem now is that I don't have a person I can trust. I'm afraid you have to look for it by yourself. If it doesn't work, it's not impossible for you to redeem him. But it is very dangerous to expose. Although the war is imminent, the witch group should not have the energy to search for you, but I can't guarantee that it is safe and sound. Well, if we find the right person, I'll send someone to inform you, and if you move faster, go to the house in the southwest corner of the city, where someone can tell me the information. ”
The count nodded and accepted the offer. But he immediately went on, ”if you just need fioni's knowledge, I think you can always talk to him, you know, using magic. Why must we rescue him in such a hurry? Of course, I'm not doubting your kindness, but I don't think it's so simple, is it? ”
Peggy froze for a few seconds and then sighed. Her eyes rested on the net worm's face for a moment, with obvious apology, ”yes, you're right. We can now talk to the sirens. But not only do we need it. I think you have seen the ruins in the city. There is no doubt that it collapsed before our eyes. But that's not the point. The point is that we may have found the reason why the harpoon attacked there. Below the spire, we found the entrance to the lower level. In other words, the original function of the building is likely to be just to hide what is underneath it. It's certain to send an exploration team, and it's not all witches who make up the team. So, I hope you and fioni can take part in this operation. And we're going to fight for the exploration team. ”
”Why?” Without waiting for Lothar to open his mouth, the webworm first asked, ”if it's an exploration team organized by a sorceress group, of course, you don't care about the cost. You can find a better candidate. What's more, you just said that we should be careful, and now let Rosa go to explore with you. Isn't it completely contradictory? ”
”That sounds like that.” Page did not deny the problems pointed out by the mercenary, ”but he is not sure to be recognized when he appears in front of the witch. Not many witches know what you two look like, and neither of them is on the list for this operation. As for other witches, even if they are asked to look for you, most of them will not really care. And most importantly, we think that the underground part of the spire may be related to the formation of the foggy sea area. If we can find a way to control the fog area, we can find a chance to leave lost heart bay before the war situation expands. Believe me, the longer you stay here, the less secure you will be. ”
Lothar held down the net worm's hand. Of course, he didn't want to leave the lost heart bay without end. But if the maid could leave the land of right and wrong, the count would accept it. I don't know when this subtle change of mentality came into being. Even Rosa may not realize that her way of getting along with Internet worms has changed a lot. As for whether the change is good or bad, whether the maids have noticed it is still unknown.”I see. I'll get back to you when I find someone to save fioni. When will the expedition move? ”
Peggy calculated the preparations in his head and said, ”in about five days, I'll set aside a place for you in advance. Don't worry about that. You just have to get people out of here quickly.”
After that, the witch said something more, including the general division of power in lost heart Bay, and a few captains and merchants who needed special care left Lothar's cabin before dinner. After the witch left, the webworm and Lothar began to cook with the food they had bought. ”Why are you in such a hurry to leave here? Wasn't it you who was going to come? It's not like the Earl of Heishan I know. ” The net bug suddenly said to Lothar.
”Something has changed.” The count looked at his companion. ”I can't let you go with me.”
A strong hand grabbed Lothar by the collar and forced him to turn around. ”Listen, I'm not a princess of any kingdom. I don't need a prince to protect me. Even if there's something between us, I won't take your shelter for granted like the women you know. You are not my master, understand
”I I understand. ”
The maid looked into Lothar's eyes and gently shook her head. ”No, you don't understand.”
