Even if we want to blow through the ground, we need so ti to set things up.
Thinking of this, he nodded to everyone, then turned to the door and said: "We agree."
Only then did the Bain Knight breathe a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "You will see our sincerity. Please rember to ensure Miss Affia's safety."
After saying this, the two finally faced the door, took a step back, then turned and walked out.
After waiting for the outside to quiet down, Fang Hong turned back bewilderedly to look at Affia, scrutinizing this young girl from head to toe. If he didn't know by now that this 'Miss Affia' might have so special identity, then he was irredeemably foolish.
He thought for a mont, then tentatively asked: "Miss Affia, what is your status within the 'Eye of Revelation'?"
Affia shook her head repeatedly: "Don't ask , Mr. Ade. I'm as confused as you are. I, I'm just an ordinary person in the Cloud Lighthouse. My father is just a businessman. One day, Lord Ebene saw my father and told him I might have so talent in secret techniques. You know the status of an Arcanist on this land, my father was overjoyed, spent so money to get here... that's all..."
This is indeed a very ordinary story.
However, Fang Hong found it hard to believe, if that were truly the case, then either His Excellency the Governor is a fool, or he himself is, in any case, one of them must be out of their mind. Would the Lord of Bain City let go of soone who nearly kidnapped his daughter just because she's a businessman's daughter?
And also provide an Arcanist's airship for them?
Would anyone believe if this story went out?
Fang Hong thought about it, but had not yet asked this question. Luo Hao, without any hesitation, directly asked: "Let be blunt, Miss Affia... is there a possibility that you are actually the illegitimate daughter of that Lord Earl?"
"There is absolutely no such possibility," Affia's face flushed with anger: "Please don't make jokes about my family, my father treats very well..."
"But otherwise, it's unexplainable."
For a mont, Affia could not speak, biting her lip, pouting, and glaring angrily at the fat man.
Luo Hao could only spread his hands, indicating he actually ant no offense.
The room fell silent for a mont.
Suddenly, a buzzing electric current sound ca from behind them, a blue and white lightning suddenly jumped out from an ancient book on the shelf, hitting Xiangzi who was about to pick up the book. The latter quickly withdrew his hand with a hiss, staring at the spine of the ancient book. Fang Hong said irritably:
"Don't touch those things of unknown origin."
"That's a magic book," Luo Yu replied for him: "Be careful of the spell on it."
Xiangzi thought for a bit, then silently withdrew his hand.
Fang Hong then realized why this guy was hanging out with Parker, these two are essentially the sa kind of people.
However, sotis things in this world can be so magical. After a while, there was again a knock at the door. Monts later, the Bain Knight's voice once more ca from outside the door: "Ladies and gentlen, please open the door."
Fang Hong glanced at the broken door, motioned to Luo Hao to go forward while the others took a step back. As soon as the door was opened, they first saw, standing between the two Bain knights, a short Natural Historian, Miss Gita, who was nervously holding her Magic Guided Book. Seeing Fang Hong, she let out a low cry:
"Captain."
The knight said: "Ladies and gentlen, we have brought your companion to you. You may discuss how to board the 'Dawood' ship, and how to hand over Miss Affia to us. There is no need to rush, His Excellency the Governor has said you can have so ti."
Saying so, the two stepped back.
When they stepped back, they revealed a girl about the sa size as Affia behind them. The latter had golden curly hair, snow-white skin, and an exceptional beauty rarely seen in this area. However, her expression was not so friendly, as she stared intently at Fang Hong and his group with a clearly disdainful look on her face.
Fang Hong was taken aback, just about to ask who this unfriendly-looking girl was, but the latter spoke first: "I deliver Gita to you, please treat her well."
"What?"
Once again, Fang Hong found himself in a bewildered state, looking at Gita, who appeared awkward and too shy to explain. The girl snorted coldly at them, then turned her back, leaving very disrespectfully.
He looked at the two knights, both Bain Knights had dark expressions and said nothing, clearly not intending to explain. It seed that their earlier politeness was purely due to Affia being in their hands, a 'comrcial nature' politeness. Otherwise, they would probably have drawn their swords imdiately.
But he didn't care about this, rely letting Luo Hao carefully let Gita in, then closed the door.
Once the door was closed, Fang Hong found no ti to ask about the strange girl, instead, he spoke to the others:
"Let's talk about the next plan, though it's a bit unexpected... it is, after all, unintentionally going right."
At this mont, Affia softly spoke up:
"Mr. Ade, I'll go with you."
"What?" Fang Hong was stunned.
"I, I an... you, you can take onboard the ship."
