Chapter 238 Trading
At night, Jiang Xun looked at the two people who were still sleeping in front of him, silently waiting for the arrival of the "father" that Lin Ni mentioned. In fact, he was not sure that the other party would come in person.
Because these two people look like chess pieces thrown out by the person behind the scenes. Maybe the "father" they mentioned will never come at all. If that time really comes, Jiang Xun will have to consider finding something valuable from these two people.
Who made them be used as cannon fodder?
"Hey, you two, there's no need to use such little tricks. You can't get away if I don't want you to, so you might as well save your energy."
About two hours ago, the boy woke up, followed by the girl. However, the two were smart enough not to make any sound, but instead communicated information through some little means that he didn't know about.
Jiang Xun was not interested in knowing what the two talked about. They couldn't escape anyway, and he had plenty of ways to get the information he wanted from them.
When Linny and Linnet heard Jiang Xun's reminder, their bodies trembled slightly, as if they were caught doing something bad. Although their current position seemed a little wrong, their reactions after this little action was discovered were the same.
Linny and Linnet were silent for a while, and then there was no movement.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun showed an expression of amused person seeing something interesting.
"You're pretty quick, but the ghost hunting game is about to start. I hope you can lead me to find the big ghost."
Jiang Xun waved his finger and cast a spell. A small crane slowly appeared and then flew towards the east.
Jiang Xun stood up and slowly followed the crane, not worrying at all that the two would run away.
"Linnet, are you okay?"
The Linnie brothers and sisters supported each other. They all felt very tired and could not fully control their bodies. This meant that their movements would be greatly hindered and each step would require more effort than before.
However, both of them were users of the Eye of God, and their bodies had been baptized by elemental forces for a long time, so they didn't fall to the ground due to exhaustion, but it wasn't much better.
Linnet shook her head, trying to prove that she could still walk, but the mental exhaustion eventually exposed her true condition.
"Hold on a little longer, that magic won't last long, we have to hurry and run farther away."
Linny was also very anxious. He was a magician, but not a wizard, and he couldn't solve their problems.
The brother and sister struggled to support each other as they moved forward, until they saw a figure in front of them, and then a long-lost smile appeared on their faces.
“It’s [Father]”
Linnie saw a figure standing in the distance. It was the servant. He would never mistake the servant's figure.
While they felt ashamed for not completing the task assigned by the other party, they were also happy that the servant did not give up on them.
"Father, I'm sorry that we failed to complete the task you assigned us."
When they came in front of the servant, they both lowered their heads in shame.
"It's okay. This is not your fault. I just thought it was too simple."
The servant did not blame them, and as she said, she had taken it all for granted.
She knew that the other party was not on the same line as the people of the Fontaine Tribunal, but she did not consider that the other party was a strong man himself. It would be unwise to send people out to contact him before figuring out his character.
"How did you escape?"
The servant originally planned to go to the agreed location on the cards, but she didn't expect the two men to escape on their own, which made her curious.
"Linnet and I used a little magic to temporarily create the illusion that we were still there, and then we escaped when he was least prepared."
When the servant heard this, she felt very uneasy. She was also present at the trial in the morning and knew a little about the man's strength. How could someone who could fight against Villette and not be at a disadvantage be fooled by such a trick?
Sure enough, the servant's anxiety came true. Jiang Xun's voice suddenly came from the roof: "The game is over, it looks like I won!"
After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he took a step forward. It was clear that he was stepping on the air, but he did not step on empty space. It was as if there were steps in the air that carried his weight as he walked down step by step.
Until he walked in front of the three people, Jiang Xun stopped and looked in front of him. Linni and Linnite had very serious expressions at this time and were ready for battle.
On the contrary, the woman in front of them, whom they called father, did not show any panic on her face.
"Good evening, ma'am, is it me you wanted to see?"
Jiang Xun spoke softly, as if he and the servant had been good friends for many years.
But only the servant standing in front of him knew how great the pressure was. The space around her seemed to be solidified. The cool sea breeze that she could feel just now disappeared in an instant, and even the flow of air was difficult to feel.
"It's me, but before that, please allow me to apologize for my and my child's disrespect."
Faced with unknown threats, the servant finally chose to lower her posture. After all, her ultimate goal was not to annoy the person in front of her.
"You don't have to apologize. Whether you apologize or not won't affect my opinion of the matter. Compared to this, I want to ask you something more. I think you should know."
"Please tell me. If I know the truth, I will tell you as my apology."
"Very well, let me ask you, have you ever seen another "me"?"
Although the other party's initial attitude made him unhappy, fortunately she was a sensible person.
The servant fell into deep thought after hearing this. What she was thinking about was not what the other party was talking about, but how to use the answer to this matter to exchange for conditions that are favorable to her.
After a few seconds, the servant replied, "Of course, and I know where he is now."
"Would you mind telling me about it?"
"I'm sorry, but my compensation is limited to answering your first question. The following questions don't count."
The servant answered with a smile on his face, which was a beautiful smile, but it gave people the feeling of being a rose with thorns.
"Interesting. I understand what you mean. Equal exchange. This is also the rule I am willing to abide by. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"I hope you won't interfere in any future affairs between us and Fontaine."
"Okay, I promise I won't do anything, and you must tell me the truth. This is the content of our contract. Those who violate it will be doomed!"
The power of the contract was revealed again. The last time was when making a deal with Gobain. However, even though it has not been used for a long time, the constraints of the contract are still very useful.
Seeing that the contract had been signed, the servant felt relieved.
