C215 (2/2)
I, who had just lost my confidence, had now rekindled hope. As it turns out, this was his plan. The two questions from then on wouldn't be hard to answer.
Since we've answered the right question, can you release my friend as agreed? I took this opportunity to save Yue Feng.
Unexpectedly, the owl kept its word, he flapped his wings lightly, and Yue Feng resumed his actions. Later on, I realized that this Magus who transformed into an owl actually had to abide by the effects of his spell. The spell he chanted was to count his opponent's eyebrows, then turn them into a statue. If the person answered his question correctly before turning into a statue, then the person's imprisonment would be released.
”Zi Lang, it's yours, look at how refined you are. I never thought that there would be so many things in your head!” The freedom Yue Feng obtained was naturally very happy.
”The second question, listen carefully. Guess who I like the most in my heart?”
This owl is really a lunatic. It is asking a lunatic question. Who do you like in your heart? What does it have to do with us? Besides, we didn't know you before.
I kept complaining in my heart, but then I thought back to that question. It was so simple, so it shouldn't be that complicated.
Could it be that this was also a quick thinking?
Zi Lang seemed to be confident as he answered: ”The person you like the most is you, right?”
At this moment, I really broke down. So the answer to this question was that simple? Aren't the several statues beside them all completely stupid?
Thinking about it later, if it wasn't for Zi Lang today, I probably wouldn't have been able to answer him.
”You, you, you can actually answer two of my questions in a row?” The owl's eyes widened as it looked at us in disbelief, as if it had not expected us to be able to answer the two questions correctly.
Zi Lang told me later that, in truth, this owl had existed for far longer than he did. At that time, a human being's intelligence was not high, such questions like these could not even be answered. People of your generation have much more complicated thoughts and refused to think in simple terms.
”Alright, you two have answered two questions correctly. Actually, I only counted the eyebrows of you two. Like this, you two have answered two questions correctly. You can leave now!”
So we only needed to answer two questions correctly. It seems that he really didn't have the time to count the eyebrows of the three of us.
Zi Lang stood there unhappily. He had just finished answering the three questions, and now he had to quickly answer the third one, only leaving after we had finished answering.
I understand Zi Lang's thoughts. He was hoping that if he could answer three questions correctly, then the owl would become a statue. This way, we would be able to obtain another treasure.
The problem was that the owl refused. It knew that its intelligence was inferior to the man in front of it. If the owl were to answer the last question and turn itself into a sculpture, it would not be worth it.
”If you don't have the rules, I won't give you the last question. Don't answer it. Let's go, let's go!”
My friend has already started to chase us away. She's not stupid, she can't do business with a loss.
If we insist on answering your third question, if you don't, it is against the rules of the spell.
The owl suddenly became restless, ”You foolish humans have given you a way out, but you won't leave!”
Zi Lang nodded his head: ”I have been on the battlefield for dozens of years, and have never walked any path of survival, I only know that I came back from death's door. How about this, I will bet my last bit of money on myself, if I can't answer your question, then I would rather turn into a statue myself.”
When the young general said these words, he was extremely handsome. He didn't expect that the young general was a man of steel. Indeed, a man who had killed his way into the battlefield was different from what he was now, someone who dared to take responsibility for his actions.
”Alright, then I'll ask you one last question. Guess, what is the girl beside you thinking right now?”
I didn't expect that the last question would be asked. At this moment, I realised that I couldn't speak anymore to remind him. It was probably due to the effects of the incantation.
I felt that although this question was something between us, it was incomparably difficult. How could the man opposite me understand my thoughts and know what I was thinking right now?
I was still thinking that no matter what answer he gave me, I wouldn't deny it. I would just nod my head. In that case, wouldn't we be in an invincible position?
But then I realized that since my movements could be controlled by spells, I probably wouldn't be able to lie for a while.
Zi Lang also frowned, he was afraid that the last question would really be difficult for him.
”How is it? Is it because I can't answer him? ” The owl let out that strange cry again, and it shook me so hard that my eardrums seemed to break.
