He said: "I like to read books and look at black stockings."
Just when everyone was full of question marks, he explained: "Of course, I was joking."
When people smiled in relief, he said, "How could I possibly like reading?"
What Licinius did most often was to organize activities such as dances, inviting beautiful teachers and female students in the college to dance in black stockings and high heels.
Relying on this kind of dandy boy to save them? Stop it!
Cecil and the others were named and humiliated, their faces suddenly turned red, and they roared, "Licinius! Why don't you let Norn do it! We are all classmates, and Tria has helped you, but you just stand by and watch? Is this the upbringing of a noble? Norn! Do you only care about money?"
In the academy, Licinius was not sociable because he was a playboy.
Then Noren is strong.
Being too powerful is completely on a different level and will naturally attract jealousy.
The most common rumor about her in the academy was that she followed Licinius because of money.
Norn stood beside his young master and said expressionlessly, "Sorry, I refuse. In this situation, if I act rashly, not to mention whether I can save you, my young master will also be in danger."
Everyone looked desperate. They remembered that there was a fourth-level warlock in the academy and thought they could still save him.
But hearing what the other party said, his attitude was already very clear.
In Noren's eyes, Licinius' safety is more important than all of them.
At this moment, the clown thugs immediately picked up their weapons: "Brothers, go ahead! Catch them!"
"etc!"
But the clown leader roared and stopped them.
This man was staring at the girl upstairs, his body tense.
It was obvious that he saw the strength of this girl, which was unfathomable!
"Oh, it seems this brother is very smart."
Li Xini smiled slightly, raised his hand and put his arm around the girl's thin shoulders, and said with a smile: "The girl next to me is a fourth-level warlock. If you want to take advantage of me, you'll be in trouble."
Noren glanced at his hand on his shoulder and said nothing.
"Level 4..."
A trace of fear flashed in the clown leader's eyes, and he said with all his might: "But even if it is the fourth level, so what? If you dare to act rashly, we will kill everyone here even if we die!"
Everyone showed a look of fear again.
"Oh I'm sure you can do it."
Licinius looked down at him and suddenly asked, "But you just said that you wanted 100,000 gold coins?"
The clown leader spoke hoarsely: "One hundred thousand gold coins and two blood-thirsty flying dragons. If we can't get this money, we will kill everyone present and turn this academy into ashes!"
His voice was infused with magic and echoed throughout the sky.
Principal Ben looked terrified.
One hundred thousand gold coins is already an astronomical figure, how can I even afford two blood-thirsty flying dragons!
It is a magical beast that has been tamed by warlocks and has the ability to fly. It soars in the air at an extremely fast speed. Now it has become a military mount and a powerful weapon in air combat.
There are only a few of them in the entire Brentanian Empire.
These thugs are really asking for too much!
Major Hayden frowned, looked down at his pocket watch, and felt a little confused.
Why hasn't that person taken action yet
At this moment, a loud mocking laugh rang out in the academy.
Licinius laughed so hard that he almost cried.
The clown leader felt insulted and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Xini wiped his tears and said with a somewhat helpless tone: "I just praised you for being smart, how come you acted stupidly so quickly? One hundred thousand gold coins? Two blood-thirsty flying dragons? What on earth are you thinking? Look at the people you captured, they are not worth this price even if you sell them all!"
"Now is a time of war. Do you think the Brentanian Empire will agree to your terms and use the funds originally invested in armaments to save these civilians?"
He smiled and said, "Do you think they are a good match?"
The clown thugs were stunned on the spot.
Licinius looked at the group of people squatting on the ground like quails and called out their names one by one.
“Leon, your father’s gambling debts haven’t been paid off yet, right? Didn’t he send your sister to a noble’s house to be a maid last month? Well, I remember your sister has nice legs, she should look good in black stockings.”
"And Fanny, stop thinking about hooking up with some nobleman. From our aesthetic point of view, we don't like short-legged mice. Your mother is pretty good. Would you like her to recommend you one?"
"As for Tria, you've been eating black bread for three months. Do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight? You look so beautiful when dancing in black stockings. Don't bother with Cecil. What future does he have?"
Everyone he named showed a look of anger and shame.
Because dignity is trampled underfoot.
Tria pursed her lips, her eyes blurred with tears.
The clown thugs were stunned, they realized they had made a huge mistake!
The people they kidnapped were actually a group of civilians!
At this moment, more and more people gathered outside the academy, and without exception, they were the parents of these captives.
They know who they are.
The state will not pay to redeem those children.
But if we force the rescue, will no one get hurt or die
Nobody knows.
"They are just a bunch of poor fellows. How can they raise the ransom? You might as well kill them all."
Li Xini sneered, "Looking at the entire academy, or even the entire city, the only person worth 100,000 gold coins and two blood-thirsty flying dragons is actually just that one person."
The clown leader subconsciously asked: "Who?"
"It's far away and yet it's right before your eyes."
Licinius pointed at himself and smiled: "I..."
The clown leader's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What's the point of kidnapping a bunch of lowly civilians? I am the one who deserves your kidnapping the most! Have you heard of the Valerius family? They are the richest family in the capital!"
Licinius crossed his arms and said proudly, "I, Valerius Licinius! You left me alone and tied up these lowly idiots? I think you are insulting me!"
Clown leader: "..."
"They are just a bunch of useless trash, just throw them away. If you catch me, let alone 100,000 gold coins, even if it's 200,000 gold coins, my father won't even frown. This is aristocracy."
Li Xini paused: "So, do you want to change?"
Chapter 4: All my work was in vain!
Li Xini's actions really confused everyone.
Those who originally felt extremely humiliated and even swore in their hearts that they would kill him in the future, all looked confused, wondering what on earth was wrong with this dude.
Even Principal Bane and Major Hayden outside the academy were stunned.
The parents of the civilians were even more dumbfounded, with a hint of confusion in their indignation.
The thugs looked at each other, feeling that something was not right.
"How about this? I'll give you a minute to think about it."
Licinius looked down at them, his expression extremely serious: "Do you want to change?"
Noren glanced at him silently and said nothing.
This girl has one obvious advantage, that is, she is ruthless, doesn't talk much, and is straightforward. As long as it is the young master's order and choice, she will not ask any more questions, especially at this time.
The clown leader raised his head and said word by word: "Are you playing tricks?"
Licinius looked him in the eye and asked, "Why do you think I'm playing tricks?"
"Nonsense! You are a noble, and you have nothing better to do than risk your life to save a group of civilians? You also want your family to pay 100,000 gold coins? Is your brain stuck in the door? Don't think I don't know that 100,000 gold coins are not something you can spend casually even for your Valerius family." The clown leader said coldly.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Li Xini smiled and said, "First, because I am sure you will only ask for money and will not kill me. If you kill me, the girl next to me will kill you all. You just put your heads on your belts, not your lives, am I right?"
The clown leader didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
"Secondly, I want to exchange myself with these civilians. Of course, there is a reason."
Licinius looked at the captured civilians and said with a smile, "We, the Valerius family, are businessmen. As businessmen, we have to make money. Although these civilians are worthless, their labor force is still very good. However, they are very arrogant in their bones, and it is difficult for me to buy them off with money."
The civilian teachers and students squatting on the ground were stunned.
Even the Joker thugs were stunned.
"It's a rare opportunity to make them owe me an astronomical sum so that they can work for my Valerius family. Why not do it? Of course, buying these untouchables is just a side job."
Licinius paused and said, "The most important thing is that I want Tria."
At this moment, everyone understood his thoughts.
He is taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
Cecil's face changed drastically. He stared at the boy upstairs and uttered two words through gritted teeth.
asshole!
The clown leader turned to look at the girl by the fountain and narrowed his eyes.
I have to say that Tria is a very beautiful girl. She has long golden hair, and the simple white dress outlines her plump and graceful figure. Her skin is as delicate as cream and as smooth as a baby's. She has a moist oval face, beautiful sky-blue eyes, and a few tear marks at the corners of her eyes, which makes her look pitiful.
In the academy, except for Noren who can compete with her, other girls pale in comparison to her.
"Tria is a good girl and it's hard to buy her with money, but this time is different. It was our Valerius family who spent money to save her life, so we can let her take on the debt naturally."
Licinius smiled and said, "Didn't you do whatever you wanted back then?"
When Tria heard this, a glimmer of mist appeared in her beautiful sky-blue eyes, and she glanced at him quietly.
She was clearly being treated as a bargaining chip, but she said nothing.
The clown leader was silent for a few seconds. "But even if that's the case, Master Licinius doesn't have to risk his life, right? Your Valerius family has money, why don't you just use it to ransom him?"
Li Xini snorted, "Stupid, do you think my father will allow me to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a group of untouchables? He will just think I'm crazy. I like Tria, but that doesn't mean my father will agree. So, you have to hold me hostage to make my father pay, do you understand?"
Everyone gasped!
You even want to betray your own father, you are such a filial son!
"Master..."
Noren said expressionlessly: "You are so filial to me."
"Hahaha, you're too kind."
Licinius leaned against the window, holding his hands on the window sill, overlooking the thugs below: "Have you thought it over? If you hold me hostage, I can use remote communication magic to notify my father and ask him to pay money to redeem me. Otherwise, you may perish with these untouchables."
"Uh..." The clown leader was in extreme confusion.
Everyone looked at these thugs with hope. Although they might have to bear huge debts in the future, it was much better to survive than to die here. They rekindled their hope.
Cecil and the others said coldly, "Bah! Licinius, you villain! Even if we die here, being killed by these thugs, we will never appreciate your kindness!"
o
Ten minutes later, the hostages who had escaped death walked out of the school gate, hugged their family members who were guarding the door and cried bitterly, and then were taken away and protected by the guards who rushed over.
Xizel and his friends looked livid and stood awkwardly in the crowd.
Although they talked tough, the thugs finally released them. They had no choice but to leave.
But this experience made them extremely humiliated.
They claimed to be the civilian elites, but in the end they were rescued by a dandy nobleman!
"Is this matter resolved like this?"
