Chapter 1326: Hijacking
Just so suddenly, the family's main elite were all wiped out. Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to act too violently, for fear of attracting the attention of the killer star.
Only the lizard man Arang was not afraid of this and hurriedly called for other servants to treat the wounded soldiers who fell on the ground. He has seen a lot of fights between brothers fighting for supremacy at home; as long as no one is killed, it doesn't matter. Moreover, his eyes were particularly vicious. He first played with everyone's heads to prevent them from drowning in the blood he spit out. Then save people.
In fact, from Lin's perspective, William was really merciful. Otherwise, with his strength, the shock wave could directly turn the internal organs of the group of people in front of him into a lake. But since he just fell down but didn't die, that means he really didn't want to kill anyone.
But the old men who were hiding behind people and finally showing up came forward helplessly. One of them, who seemed to be still in his middle age, said: "You came back to prove that you are qualified to inherit the family. But do you know that by doing so, you will only inherit a family where no one can help you?"
"No, I don't want to inherit anything. I just brought my friend here. He has some questions to ask." William pointed to someone beside him with a livid face and said.
Hearing that the topic was related to him, Lin reluctantly showed an ugly smile and nodded as a greeting.
The middle-aged man only glanced at Lin, then looked at William, as if the black-haired and dark-eyed man was unimportant, and said: "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and you don't even want to call me father? You will make trouble when you come back, you Have you forgotten your last name?"
"Well, father, long time no see. How are you doing these days? But this house is bigger than the house I remember, so you should be living well. But my other brothers are a bit unimproved and have no strength. If so, you must at least have some discernment. In your eyes, am I the one causing trouble? If you think so, then I can only say that I'm sorry. I didn't want anything, and I didn't intend to hurt anyone. I said it , I came back to help my friends."
William emphasized his purpose again and said it sincerely. Although it sounded like he was mocking, Lin knew that the white swordsman really didn't mean anything to ridicule, he was just stating the facts in his eyes. It's just that the object of comparison is himself. Even if the intention is not this, it is easy for the content of his words to escalate into group ridicule!
Sure enough, the result of William telling the truth was to arouse his father's anger. But maybe considering that he couldn't beat him, and the other party was his own son, William's father's anger only grew strong at first, and then cooled down. He suppressed his displeasure, turned to Lin and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Lin was very puzzled by the other party's attitude, and then realized it. I was wearing a suit when I went out this time, which was a strange attire for the Midi people. It could even be considered a strange attire.
If you wear the standard magician clothes, put on a small shawl. Not to mention that I have not yet been approved by the local great magician to tie two golden threads. Just the golden thread belonging to the magician on the chest makes everyone more polite.
Since there is no such level of identity, it is understandable that William's father has such an attitude. Lin could only hold back his dissatisfaction and said: "Good day, Mr. Greco. I am the magician Guybrash Tripwood. We represent the gold coin goddess Koin, from the holy city of Ace in the Gwana Empire. Talli came here to ask about the history of the Karlsruhe Empire, as well as the changes and news in recent years, so that I can develop the banking belief of the Goddess of Gold Coins."
Talking about business is too unfamiliar to Midi people. Anyway, the matter was related to the goddess, so Lin used "faith" as an excuse.
Hearing this, William's father's eyes widened and he said, "Is this all you want to know?"
"Yes."
"Just because of this..." With a look of surprise mixed with helplessness, the middle-aged man glanced around at the family members who were lying on the ground dying and being rescued.
Lin spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes, that's all I want to know. And I wanted to say it from the beginning, but I never had a chance to say it. No one gave me a chance to speak. In fact, I If I say it, I’m afraid it won’t be taken seriously.”
The middle-aged man asked again: "Then why did you follow William back?"
"I heard from William that his family runs water transportation in Neuquén. I am not familiar with the place, so it makes sense to find a local to lead the way and ask about local things."
"Yeah, it couldn't be more reasonable." Not to mention the sad and angry expressions on the faces of the old men beside him, William's father seemed to be exhausted, with his shoulders slumped.
Then Henry corrected his mentality, straightened his appearance, and introduced himself again, saying: "Good day, Your Majesty the Magician. I am Henry Greco, the current president of the Greco Shipping Chamber of Commerce. Regarding what you want to ask, I can send a steward from the Chamber of Commerce over later, you can just ask him."
"Okay, thank you in advance, Mr. Greco, for your assistance." Lin thanked him in his usual polite way.
It's just that he's not an ignorant idiot. Looking at Henry's embarrassed look, he knew there must be some story behind it. Although he considered that asking would probably cause him trouble, William was brought back by himself. He defeated a bunch of people, which had something to do with him. It doesn't seem to make sense if we don't ask questions at all.
After thinking about it, Lin asked about the elves who came with him and said, "Miriam, do you have any way to treat them?"
The blind female elf tilted her head. After thinking for a while, she took out a small glass bottle from the inner pocket of her suit jacket and said, "I have the Holy Spirit elixir given to me by Your Majesty. One drop should be able to save a person." . There should be no big problem in saving the people here."
Lin nodded and said, "Well, that's great. Please revive them. I will ask His Majesty Yggdrasil for the Holy Spirit Elixir when I return, and then give it back to you."
Miriam didn't say anything and went to help save people. Those whose injuries were more serious and could only vent their breath but not take in their breath were naturally given priority.
Lin was willing to lend a helping hand, and Henry Greco and the other old men looked grateful. Some people showed greedy expressions, which disappeared briefly. Lin also noticed the expressions of these people, but didn't think they could take advantage of Miriam, so he ignored them.
In fact, after the Holy Spirit Medicine was taken out and the name was given, it attracted the attention of everyone except William, including Lin. As for our White Sword Master, he never cares about whether things are good or bad, precious or not. He only uses things that he likes and finds useful. It's just a coincidence that such things can't be rubbish.
I thought Miriam would just use Dru Yin's healing technique, but she didn't expect that she would bring out something more valuable. Mr. Lin couldn't say on the spot that it was too precious. Those people on the ground didn't need to use such a good thing. Just treat it casually and apply saliva on it.
The Holy Spirit Medicine is so precious that, except for the fact that the dead cannot be resurrected, there are no injuries or poisons that cannot be cured. It can be called the top treatment medicine in the land. But this 'preciousness' is only for ordinary people. For the elders of World Tree, they can sell things of this level on a barrel basis, as long as they are willing. Anyway, it was for the sake of others' generosity, so Lin just let it go.
Of course, it was impossible for Henry to show no signs of taking out such a precious thing to save people. He saluted carefully and said, "Thank you for helping my family. This is really important to us."
No matter how much blood and tears flowed in his heart, someone still had to grit his teeth and show off on the surface, wave his hand and say, "It's okay, it's nothing." But then he remembered the appearance of that group of people when they first appeared, and how they rushed to ask for help after they came in. The attitude of finding trouble for William made Lin couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Greco, has your chamber of commerce encountered any trouble recently?"
Henry didn't think much and said bluntly: "To be honest with you, we are competing with several other colleagues for an overseas waterway recently. It is because of this that the energetic young people in the Chamber of Commerce are so impulsive. It is unfortunate that William is like this Coming back at such a time gave everyone the illusion that William came back to cause trouble."
After hearing Henry's explanation, Lin still felt that there was something unreasonable in it. At least the enmity between William and his brother is not like a bitter drama of family ethics, but another kind of unhappiness.
When I was still about to ask more questions, there was a burst of panic and commotion from the side!
Lin turned around and saw that the half-rescued elf was being held hostage, and the bottle of Holy Spirit elixir was smashed to the ground. Although the bottle was not broken, a lot of precious medicine was lost.
Lin was a little confused by such a drama of revenge, and so were the Greco family members. They all stopped the attacker, asking him to put down his sword and let go of the elves he captured.
However, the person who took action did not have any thoughts of repentance. Instead, he waved the short knife and pushed back others who tried to get close to him. He shouted: "Don't come over! Whoever dares to come over, I will kill her! William, if you don't want this elf to die, , just leave me, voluntarily give up all rights, and go as far as possible. This is non-negotiable!"
Miriam was being held hostage. Except for the Greco family who were nervous, Lin looked helpless and William looked confused, looking at the farce in front of him. The white swordsman asked: "Why do you think that if you catch her, you can threaten me?"
"Aren't you worried about her safety?" The person who held Miriam hostage pressed the short knife against the delicate white neck, and a trace of scarlet red emerged from the tip of the knife.
When William saw this, he still didn't have any sense of urgency, but said: "Why should I worry about someone who is more powerful than me? Right?" The last question was turned to someone who was still looking confused.
Lin, who was awakened by William's question, stared at Miriam, who looked like a weak woman, angrily and funny, and asked directly: "Miriam, do you need help?"
"Well, sir, at times like this, shouldn't a hero come out to rescue a beauty?" The held elf showed an innocent expression. Even though her eyes were only a dull white, her pitiful expression still moved ordinary people.
