Chapter 17: A talisman and a happy theater

They are outsiders, and they are local cowards.

If you find any reason, you can be punished.

Maybe Ming had already guessed, but he didn't expect that those people would move so fast.

After all, Ming set off a smokescreen - he said that he had regular customers here. But it was clear that those people had checked it. Knowing that Ming and the others had no one to rely on, they took action without hesitation.

Zhao Yu saw it very clearly.

The benefits are so great that they can make people extremely enthusiastic. It is true that money can make the world go round.

Facing several ships of mithril and magic gold, it is impossible for those people not to be moved. According to Zhao Yu's guess, he definitely made inquiries all night, and then found out who they were and knew that they were just setting off a smoke screen.

So I started early in the morning.

They did not directly confiscate the spacecraft staying on the space station, but used this method to force the cargo owners to let go. This is not surprising at all. The more advanced a civilization is, the less loopholes its laws have.

But if both parties are willing, then the law has nothing to do with it.

All right.

However, An didn't understand the reason behind this.

Although she already knew that Ming and others were arrested and that the purpose of the black hand was mithril and magic gold, the first solution she thought of was to resort to law.

So after negotiating with those people to no avail, An resorted to legal action through normal means.

But it's a pity that she didn't think about it. If the black hand wants to plan, all aspects must be done properly. The charges against them were basically fulfilled. To resort to law is wishful thinking.

But at this point, both sides held back.

What the Black Hand wants is mithril and magic gold. Putting them in jail is not the purpose. What they want is An's compromise. And An, when he learned that legal avenues were dead, he was also blinded.

She wanted to rescue Ming and the others, but she was unwilling to give up the benefits of her hard work. What's more, An is a character walking sideways in the Ishihara galaxy, and has never encountered anything like this.

She felt aggrieved and refused to bow her head.

So let's do it.

We waited until most of the people came back and discussed it over and over again, but to no avail.

Someone mentioned Zhao Yu.

He is said to be a monk, and monks represent power.

In the universe, the laws on the planet are strict and only target ordinary creatures. This is the same everywhere. For the strong, the law is a piece of waste paper.

So he waited for Zhao Yu on the left and Zhao Yu on the right. Zhao Yu didn't come back until it got dark.

Suddenly, the resentment accumulated throughout the day burst out, and An's tone was very harsh.

Zhao Yu didn't care.

He pretended not to know, asked about the situation, and then made some suggestions.

Said: "I understand what everyone means. But this is the Three Saints Empire, and the influence of the Taiyi Sect, the Yuanshi Demon Sect, and the Yuanchu Divine Court have not yet extended here. If we try to be tough, it will be counterproductive."

After hearing this, An and others were speechless.

Because what Zhao Yu said makes sense.

Of course, the premise of this truth is that Zhao Yu is not strong enough.

"What do you mean?" An said.

"It's very simple." Zhao Yu smiled: "I think Ming's plan early in the morning must be to contact the magician directly, right?"

His eyes fell on An.

An hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "In that case, why not act according to the original plan? Go find the magician and give up some benefits, and the matter will be solved."

The reason here is very obvious.

First of all, the Three Holy Empire is a newly established kingdom by Emperor Weishan, and magicians have a transcendent status here.

Secondly, by directly reaching a deal with the mage and selling the goods, the black hand naturally has no reason to continue fighting with them.

Third, to give up part of the benefits is to make the mage make a guarantee, and to eliminate the possibility that the black hand would become angry after An took possession of mithril and magic gold, and would not release Ming and others, but would endanger their lives.

This is linked to each other.

The magician has a high status. Once he guarantees it, the black hand will naturally not dare to violate the magician's wishes.

In this way, although some profits have to be lost, the matter is finally resolved.

An is not stupid. On the contrary, as an upper-class person in the galaxy, he is quite outstanding. It’s just that I am young, have never encountered such a thing, and have no experience. When Zhao Yu mentioned it, he immediately understood.

Immediately, his expression relaxed and he breathed out: "Sorry, my tone was not very good just now...Thank you, Zhao. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten..."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly: "Is this human nature?"

Any intelligent creature will make mistakes in judgment when it is anxious, and its temper will definitely not be very good, so it is not worth caring about.

So An immediately made arrangements to take people to the nearest mage tower in person to seek help from the mage.

Before leaving, Zhao Yu turned over his hands and took out a talisman, but he secretly transferred the magic power and fabricated it out of thin air. He handed it to An and told him: "If you see the mage, give this talisman to him. Ask him to come here and I’ll wait for him here.”

After that, there will be no more words.

An took the talisman with some doubts, thought about it, and didn't understand what Zhao Yu meant, but the matter at hand was urgent and he didn't have time to think too much, so he went.

Zhao Yu stood at the gate with his hands behind his back. Seeing them go to the place where the miniature spaceship was staying, he couldn't help but smile: "In that case, let's meet the mage first. It doesn't matter whether we delay or not, whether we delay or not, it doesn't matter."

But then he thought again: "But they may not be able to see the mage smoothly. Since the Three Holy Empire is newly established by the so-called Supreme Dharma God, it is equivalent to the beginning of the founding of the country. The status of the mage must be extremely high. No matter where he is, he can just see him if he wants to. Visible?"

But Zhao Yu was not worried, otherwise he would not have given An a talisman.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.

...

Then he said that An was waiting for a group of people, piloted the micro-aircraft, and soon arrived at the nearest mage tower.

To say it was recently, it was at least tens of thousands of kilometers away. But in the interstellar era, tens of thousands of kilometers are no different from being in front of home. It doesn't take as long as a cup of tea.

However, the Mage Tower strictly prohibited unrelated people from approaching, so they could only stop at the periphery.

The group of people came out of the aircraft and were stopped.

What stopped them was the mage's retinue. Mages are transcendent in the Three Holy Empire. They do not belong to the government, but they are beyond the government. They usually don't care about things, but when it comes to important matters, the government has to listen to them.

The guards of the mage tower are not from the government, but are followers recruited by the mage himself.

Although the so-called third-rank officials in front of the prime minister and the mage's retinue are just the mage's servants, they are still superior to outsiders. Without any reason, I had to drive people away.

Fortunately, An was clear-headed at this time and didn't say anything else, except that there was a large amount of mithril and magic gold.

How come the mage’s retinue doesn’t know the importance of mithril and magic gold to the mage? Then his face changed and his attitude changed. However, although the attitude has changed, it is still that kind of condescending and just hiding it. If you really want to give An and the others a good look, it is not always the case.
