Jiang Feng also walked over and looked at this tough-tongued little hag.
"There is not even a gap between this and the glass pillar. How did you get in, Estna?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"Humph! Isn't that simple?" Istna put her hands on her hips and raised her chin proudly, "I have been promoted to a level 9 mage, and I have learned the 4th-level magic 'Any Door'. By using this spell, you can directly go from
Teleport in from outside!"
"Is it true?" Jiang Feng was dubious, "In other words, as long as you use 'Any Door' again, you can teleport directly out of the glass pillar?"
"That's right! I don't need you to meddle in my own business. If I want to leave, I can leave at any time!"
Istna deliberately raised her voice, sounding like she was trying to embolden herself.
"Okay, Istna, you can think about life in the glass pillar, and we won't disturb you anymore. Bye!"
Ma Yun winked at Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, turned around and left.
"Hey! You guys... damn..."
When Istna saw the three people turning around and leaving, she couldn't hold herself any longer.
She was anxious, but she was too embarrassed to ask her old enemy to help break the cage and let her out. She was so angry that she kicked the inner wall of the glass, which triggered the defensive barrier and caused the inner wall of the glass to flash with electric light and crackle.
Istna received an electric shock, which made her scream out in pain and jump up and down holding her feet.
Gao Fei was amused by her miserable appearance and turned around to ask her: "Where is your 'Any Door'?"
Istna's beautiful face turned red with shame, and she suppressed her shame and annoyance, and told the truth angrily: "Any door...I was locked up before I had time to learn it."
"Anyway, you have plenty of time now, so just learn magic in this glass cage where the years are quiet and the world is stable!"
Ma Yun laughed and teased the hag's daughter.
"My spell book was snatched away by the golem guards, what a waste of time to learn!" Istna shouted angrily.
Seeing her miserable but pretending to be fierce, Jiang Feng was both amused and sympathetic, and asked Gao Fei and Ma Yun in a low voice: "This guy is so pitiful, do you want to let her out?"
"Let her out... will she retaliate and attack us?" Ma Yun looked hesitant.
"There's no need to worry about that. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to be east of the river and ten years to be west of the river. With the current strength of the three of us, it will be easy to kill this little hag together."
Gao Fei saw Istna putting his ear against the inner wall of the glass and eavesdropping on the conversation between himself and his companions. He was secretly amused and deliberately raised his voice to tell her.
"Actually, I hope she will fall out with us after she comes out. In this case, we will have a reason to kill her and collect trophies from her, such as her pearl earrings and gemstone rings. Although they are not magic items, they are still worth a lot of money."
When Istna heard this, her face turned blue with fright. She quietly took off her earrings and rings, put them in her pocket and hid them.
At this time, Gao Fei received an unexpected system prompt.
"With a successful 'Intimidation' check, you will gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiation with Istna!"
Great! I like to deal with bad women the most.
Gao Fei put his hands behind his back and walked to the glass pillar, looking at her with a smile through the magically reinforced glass wall.
Istna was so frightened by what he saw that she put on a fierce face and shouted sternly: "You bastard, what do you want to do!"
"Estna, if you agree to two conditions, we will try to release you."
"Well... tell me what the conditions are!" Istna said with a wary face.
"First of all, after you get out of trouble, you must help us explore this ancient ruins. Before the end of the expedition, we must treat each other as companions, unite as one, and not have internal strife."
"This is the first condition."
"No problem, I promise you!" Istna nodded happily.
"The second condition is that all the trophies harvested during the expedition belong to the three of us, and you have no right to distribute them."
"You stingy man, you actually want to treat me as a free cow and horse. How abominable!"
Istna was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and stamped her feet in anger.
If looks could kill, Gao Fei would have been cut into pieces by her at this moment.
Gao Fei smiled coldly, not saving any face for her.
"Estna, you'd better understand, now you are asking for help from us, there is no free lunch in the world!"
"Without you, the three of us can still explore, so why should we share the benefits with you?"
"Just because you were an enemy of Dorothy and we didn't add insult to injury, even if your kindness has been exhausted, you can't appreciate it!"
"But……"
"I don't have time to listen to your ramblings. Come on, as long as you shake your head, we will leave immediately!"
Istna was frightened by his ferocious demeanor, but she was unwilling to give in. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to do the next best thing and save a little face.
"I can accept these two conditions, but I also have one condition. You must help me defeat the golem guards and take back my spell book and amulet from them!"
Gao Fei chatted privately with Jiang Feng and Ma Yun through the Astrolabe team channel.
After the three people discussed it, they reached a consensus.
Next, Gao Fei came forward and continued to bargain with Istna.
"Things that belong to you can be returned to you, but before that, you have to lend Dorothy the spell book to make a copy of it."
Ma Yun copied Istna's spell, and Gao Fei's imitator can also get a portion for free. This is called "one fish, two eats"!
While Istna was still thinking about it, Gao Fei opened the astrolabe and checked her spell list to see if there were any spells worth stealing.
As expected, Istna has been promoted to a level 9 mage. Her intelligence attribute is 20, the same as Ma Yun. She has prepared 14 spells today, which are:
Istna has the bloodline of the Night Hag, and some of her spells are talents that come with the bloodline. They are similar to a warlock and can be cast directly without preparation.
The high-flying spell thief can now steal up to 3rd level spells.
Among Istna's third-level spells, "Lightning Beam" and "Frost Nova" are attack spells that Ma Yun does not have.
These two spells are indeed good, but they are not good enough for Goofy to eliminate the existing spells specifically for them, so he had to give up.
