Aranza's eyes narrowed into tiny slits, their luster gone.
Elita seems to have been avoiding this question, but she also knows that if she keeps silent about it, once the best time to rescue Li is missed, this question is likely to come true. Her body paused for a moment, and then slowly
After sitting back in her seat and sorting out her words, Ilita said, "I think you are all curious as to why there is a female magician from the Fulan tribe by my side."
Everyone acquiesced. In fact, on the human land of the Continent of Thorns, there have always been traces of life from other races, but most of these alien races were slaves and were used as commodities in major trading areas. Even in the era of the King of Heroes, the royal family’s treatment of slaves
Although they do not agree with the attitude, they will not oppose it. In the major states, except for some noble lords who boycott the slave trade, most nobles also have an ambiguous attitude and even support the capture and sale of slaves.
This is enough to prove that alien slaves are quite popular in the human race. But in the list of diverse and even extremely rich alien slaves, the Fulan tribe has never appeared.
This is a race that is more arrogant and more powerful than the elves. The small body means that there are no warriors in this race, but the incredible magical talent has created a grand situation where the Fulan tribe is full of high-level magicians.
High-level magicians can enjoy meticulous preferential treatment from nobles in the human race, but a group of high-level magicians in the Fulan tribe is an organized army!
The destructive power of an army composed of high-level magicians is self-evident. It can be said that any fortifications and any means of warfare are useless in front of such an army. Every round of indiscriminate bombardment by magic can
Turn a solid piece of land into ruins.
Of course, if that's all, it won't stop people's greed. Maybe some people are lucky enough to capture a Fulan magician and exchange him for gold coins. But they never thought that this proud race would never
Do not allow their tribesmen to be insulted or looked down upon!
From the first slave catcher who tried to get gold from the Fulan tribe to the last one, their fate was the same. The legions of magicians from the Fulan tribe would pursue them until the overwhelming magic attack would destroy them.
His body will be blasted into dust, and his soul will be sealed and plunged into darkness forever.
The Fran tribe's magician army pursued the criminals in an extremely brutal manner, bombarding them with magic along the way. Their talents gave them an endless supply of magic power. Wherever they passed, houses were destroyed and lives were devastated, no less than before.
A great battle. In the end, even if there were people who were not afraid of death and tried to capture the Fulan tribe, no one dared to buy the dangerous slaves.
As long as a Fulan tribe member is alive, his companions will have a way to sense his location and even know his safety. However, the dead Fulan tribe members not only have no value, they will also send a final message to the tribe before they die.
, which naturally led to even more crazy revenge.
"My encounter with Li was somewhat accidental."
Ilita's voice was soft, as if she was lost in memories: "Let's just ignore the details. When my mercenary group was performing a mission, they met the team of the Fulan tribe who were out for a trial. It was the coming of age ceremony of the Fulan tribe. This
The ceremony will determine the future fate of every Fulan tribe member, and among them, there is Li."
"Well, her destiny is you, right?"
When Aranza spoke, he directly skipped all the trivial matters and brought the topic to the center for Elita.
"Yes."
Ilita nodded and said seriously: "After Li completed the trial, she has been following me to fulfill her destiny... But in fact, I have been working hard to protect her from harm. Her identity is very special. If she receives
Injury will inevitably lead to crazy revenge from the Fran clan..."
"Well, how special is it?"
Aranza continued to ask straightforward questions. He had already guessed that Li's identity was unusual, but he could not confirm it in detail. This could be guessed from Li's words and deeds. She never had any scruples in what she said, and although her behavior was not arbitrary,
But at least it is impossible to restrain her. Based on these, it can be roughly imagined that Li must have always been pampered, and her status is naturally not low.
Aranza's question made Elita pause for a moment before she said, "If something happens to her, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to think that the entire Fran clan would mobilize."
Her voice was very soft, but absolutely shocking, so that when Ilita finished speaking, there was a slightly longer pause in the entire meeting.
After a long time, Aranza suddenly grinned, but it was clearly bitter. Elita should have told him these things earlier, but she has endured it until now. This can only show that either Elita trusts him too much.
Either he had been planning to put aside the matter of rescuing Li, or both. He rubbed his head vigorously with his hands and said: "Well, I understand. In this case... let's rescue her as soon as possible.
It’s better to come out.”
"I think..."
However, Kim Gates opened his mouth at an inappropriate time, so that before he could finish his words, he was greeted by Elita's tough gaze. The fat man smiled awkwardly and explained: "Sorry, Miss Elita, I didn't
I don’t want to offend you... It’s just that my job is to seek the greatest benefits for the Norland Army and the Thorn Mercenary Group. So, in my opinion, Miss Ruoli’s identity is really that important, so why not use it?
"
"cough!"
Aranza pretended to cough again. Kim Gates' words may be true, but they are inappropriate.
"What are you going to do?"
Elita's voice was filled with anger.
"Do nothing."
Kim Gates slightly raised his voice and seemed more confident. He said: "Since Miss Li is the biggest variable in the whole incident, why don't we trigger this variable? Moreover, the method to trigger it is very easy, as long as
Just don’t rescue Miss Li for the time being. In this way, it is Alpha Lane who hurts Miss Li, not us. The target of the Fran tribe’s revenge is naturally our enemy. We can completely watch the fire from the other side and wait for the opportunity."
At this time, Elita, who had been holding back, finally let out a cold laugh.
"I don't mind you taking advantage of Li, but what I want to explain is that if Li is really harmed, I am also responsible, and I cannot escape the revenge of the Fran clan. Of course..."
She suddenly turned her head to look at Aranza, the light in her eyes was inexplicable and difficult to guess, and she said: "You can also choose to break away from me and eliminate all dangers. In this way, instead of watching the fire from the other side, you can completely fish with your own hands.
benefit."
She finally noticed something, looked closely at the white-haired boy in front of her, and said, "Aranza, tell me your decision!"
Everyone noticed that she used the word "you" instead of "we".
The embarrassment on Kim Gates's face became more obvious. He did not expect Elita's reaction to be so violent. But even so, the fat man did not think that his judgment was wrong.
Aranza's situation is not much better. In fact, until now, he is still wavering on whether to save Li or not, and he is more of a preoccupation with tricks. But he knows that at this time, he has to make a decision.
He raised his head and his eyes fell deeply on Elita.
"This is not a difficult decision." Hancock sat next to Aranza, his tone cold.
In the history of the future comics, Aranza has never denied that he has made many wrong decisions, but he has never regretted them except once.
But at this time, he couldn't see the future.
Aranza's mind was constantly considering various options that could balance both sides, but she already answered: "I'm sorry, Elita, I think..."
"Enough!"
Elita interrupted her coldly, and at this time, Aranza was surprised to find that Elita's soul point was different from usual, and even the tone of her eyes when she looked at him had changed.
"I mean..."
Aranza was eager to explain that he couldn't let go of the bait of using the Fran clan to defeat Alpha, but he also didn't want to put Elita in danger. He might still think that there might be a way to ensure Elita's safety.
At the same time, it can direct the anger of the Fran clan towards Alpha Lane.
As for Li, all the assumptions themselves were only possible after Li was hurt.
"I've said enough!"
Elita interrupted Aranza again. It was impossible for her to ignore the details in the words of Kim Gates and Aranza. They seemed to be still discussing how to rescue Li, but in fact, the direction had changed to how to deal with Alpha Lane, and
Li, is destined to become a victim.
The words were interrupted again, and Aranza suddenly didn't know what to say. He stood there blankly like a wooden stake. At this moment, Elita's tone suddenly became calm.
It was a calm that frightened Aranza.
She gave him one last look and said, "Aranza, I was wrong about you."
Then, she pushed the door open and left, leaving only an incomprehensible back figure.
"This is a very difficult decision." Hancock watched the progress of the incident with cold eyes. Only then did she speak again, breaking the strange silence in the conference room.
"Oh."
Aranza chuckled lightly. Instead of chasing Elita, he threw himself onto the cold seat and said bitterly: "I...did I do something wrong?"
"Of course not."
It was still Hancock who responded to him. She said: "You just made the most rational and best decision."
"reason?"
Aranza suddenly felt that he had no sense at all.
No one else in the conference room spoke anymore. Even the key figure who forced Elita away, Kim Gates, just opened his mouth, but swallowed the words in his throat. He cast an angry look at Sili.
I spread my hands, indicating that I didn't expect the result to be like this.
As for the other two Saint Domain experts, Chen Xi and Kalu, their eyes briefly contacted each other, and not surprisingly, they found that there was something unspeakable in each other's eyes.
