Chapter 1287
After the celebration banquet.
In a quiet living room in the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
City Lord Xingyao sat on a carved mahogany chair, with a trace of worry on his face.
Li Taihang and Lin Yue were invited by Xingyao to have a private chat here.
The candlelight in the living room flickered, and the light and shadow danced on the wall.
"Lord City Lord, I wonder what you want us to do here?" Lin Yue spoke first.
Xingyao took a deep breath and said, "You two, I asked you to come here today because I have an extremely important matter to ask for."
His eyes revealed a kind of earnestness and worry.
Lin Yue frowned slightly and asked, "Lord City Lord, you can say whatever you want."
Li Taihang also looked at Xingyao curiously.
Xingyao slowly stood up and paced in the living room.
After a while, he stopped and said, "My wife is trapped in a ruin on an island. The island is far away and dangerous. I have always wanted to save her, but I have no way."
Li Taihang immediately understood that Xingyao wanted them to help.
Lin Yue's heart moved and asked, "Lord City Lord, how did you know she was trapped there?"
Xingyao smiled bitterly, "She told me with the sound stone, but the island is surrounded by dangers, with powerful magic restrictions and ferocious sea beasts. I have never been able to rescue her."
His eyes fell on the moonlight treasure ship emitting soft light, "Until we get this moonlight treasure ship, it can sail on the sea and fly in the air. This is my only hope."
"But I need help, but I don't know if you two..." Xingyao looked at Li Taihang and Lin Yue with some entanglement.
Lin Yue looked at Xingyao and saw that he was trying to save his wife. He felt sympathy in his heart, but he also said: "Lord City Lord, we don't know much about that place. Do you think we can help?"
Xingyao walked up to them and said earnestly: "You two, I have seen your strength. Mr. Li's strength can be called a sword saint, with superb swordsmanship, and no one can defeat him in battle."
"Miss Lin, you are also a great magician, with powerful magic and three-system power."
"With the help of you two, I believe we will be able to successfully rescue my wife."
"It's just that, hey..." Xingyao was ashamed to say that, because he no longer had extra financial resources to pay the commission for hiring the sword saint and the great magician.
Before, in order to get the Moonlight Treasure Ship, he almost spent everything.
Li Taihang and Lin Yue looked at each other, and they saw determination in each other's eyes.
Lin Yue stood up and said, "Lord City Lord, don't worry. Since we can take back the Moonlight Treasure Ship together, we can definitely accompany you to rescue your wife."
Seeing this, Li Taihang also nodded in agreement.
Lin Yue's demand for treasures is not great now, but she still needs to improve her strength through actual combat.
This time, she may encounter air battles and naval battles, which is also a rare opportunity to fight.
As for the reward, they have gained a lot in the previous cave ruins and starlight ruins, and they have long been less concerned about money.
What she values is Xingyao's feelings for his wife.
Xingyao's face showed a grateful expression: "Thank you two, your great kindness, I will never forget it."
"In addition, I don't want anything from all this, it all belongs to you, I just want my wife to be rescued safely." Xingyao said firmly.
"Okay."
To this, Li Taihang and Lin Yue also agreed.
So the three decided to set off as soon as possible.
Xingyao explained the affairs and then took some guards with him, because the place they were going to this time was very dangerous, and taking more people would only lead to their death.
Therefore, he only took a part of the people and was responsible for taking care of their daily lives.
They boarded the Moonlight Treasure Ship, which slowly rose into the air and flew towards the island.
When the Moonlight Treasure Ship was flying in the air, a faint halo was emitted around the hull, like the brilliance of moonlight, beautiful and mysterious.
However, what they didn't know was that because they had robbed the Moonlight Treasure Ship before, the forces behind the robbers had begun to plan revenge after learning the news.
The robbers were very powerful, and they were unwilling to let the treasure ship be taken away like this, and they also lost so many people, especially the robber leader was also killed.
In a small corner of the City Lord's Mansion in Xing'an City, a sneaky figure was talking to a mysterious person.
This figure was a servant in the City Lord's Mansion, and he was bribed by the robbers.
"Are you sure they are heading to the island in the east?" the mysterious man asked in a low voice.
The servant nodded and said, "It is absolutely true. I heard it with my own ears.According to the instructions of the city lord, they were going to take the Moonlight Treasure Ship to rescue the city lord's wife. "
The mysterious man sneered: "Very good, this time we must make sure they never return and take the treasure ship back."
After that, he gave the servants a lot of money and hurriedly left the city lord's mansion.
The bandit forces acted quickly. It happened that there were still their men there, so they sent a message and prepared to set up an ambush on the sea.
They knew the only way for the Moonlight Treasure Ship to pass, and chose a sea area with many small islands for easy hiding.
The bandits built simple camps on those small islands and hid their weapons and ships.
They also set up some magic traps, which would release powerful attack magic once triggered.
Then, they waited for their arrival.
At the same time, when the Moonlight Treasure Ship arrived in the sea, it landed on the sea and sailed.
Because sailing in the air requires too much magic power, it is better to sail on the sea.
Li Taihang stood at the bow, feeling the breeze on his face and the salty sea breeze.
Lin Yue sat on a chair on the deck, studying the Astrology Book. When she was flipping through it, she saw the astrology divination technique. It was just at this time that she helped them test the good and bad luck.
So, Lin Yue took out a few copper coins for divination from the hidden gem, and sprinkled them on the table.
Then, she began to deduce based on the position, direction, and shape of the copper coins on the table.
Xingyao next to her watched curiously and asked, "Miss Lin, what are you doing?"
"Divination."
"Oh?" Xingyao didn't expect her to know this.
"We will be ambushed this time." Lin Yue suddenly stood up. This was the result of her deduction.
"What?" Xingyao said in surprise, "Is this true?"
"Well, this is the result of divination. "Lin Yue said: "However, this is my first time doing this, and I don't know if it's accurate?"
"It's interesting." Li Taixing came over and smiled: "Do you have any other information?"
"Yes. Judging from the results of astrological divination, the danger is on our way."
"Oh? This can also be seen?"
"Yes, because the level of divination is not high, it is relatively easy."
They all looked at the sea ahead. In the distance, many large and small points appeared. There were many large and small islands there, which were quite suitable for ambushes.
Li Taixing also found the robbers there.
When he saw the robbers, he was a little surprised, because those robbers were the same as those they had encountered in the cave before.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at divination." Li Taixing smiled.
"Is it really dangerous? "Xingyao was half-believing and half-doubting.
As the Moonlight Ship gradually approached the dangerous sea area, the atmosphere in the air seemed to become tense.
When they passed through the island, suddenly, a huge magic water column shot towards the Moonlight Ship from the island on one side.
"Enemy attack."
Xingyao was shocked and shouted hurriedly. He didn't expect to be in danger.
Li Taihang also quickly drew his sword, and his sword flashed with cold light.
Lin Yue ran to the bow and chanted a spell, and a magic shield appeared around the treasure ship.
"Bang."
The magic water column hit the shield and emitted a dazzling light.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush!" Xingyao shouted.
Just then, many robbers emerged from the surrounding islands. They quickly took a small boat and surrounded the Moonlight Ship.
"Kill! "
The robbers shouted loudly, waving various weapons in their hands.
"It's those robbers. Strange, how come these robbers are the same as the ones we met before." Lin Yue said with some surprise.
At this time, the robbers approached quickly.
She waved her staff and released a series of fire magic towards the robbers. The flames fell on the robbers' boats and instantly ignited some of the boats.
The robbers did not retreat, they continued to rush towards the Moonlight Treasure Ship.
"They are coming up."
When some robbers approached, they began to climb the side of the Moonlight Treasure Ship. Li Taihang flashed and rushed towards the robbers like lightning.
His sword shuttled between the robbers, and each sword could kill a robber.
"Ah!"
"Kill! "
However, there are too many bandits.
They keep coming, and there are some bandits.
Xingyao quickly entered the cockpit and ordered his men to speed up the control of the treasure ship to avoid the attacks of bows and arrows and magic, while shouting to Li Taihang and Lin Yue: "We are surrounded now."
"Fly up, these guys can't fly." Lin Yue said loudly.
"That's right."
Xingyao reacted and quickly controlled the Moonlight Treasure Ship to take off."Quick Freeze!" Lin Yue shouted while holding the Ice and Fire Staff.
The temperature around him dropped rapidly, freezing everything around him, and the robbers' attack was blocked.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xingyao controlled the treasure ship to speed up. The treasure ship broke through the bandits' encirclement and flew towards the sky ahead.
However, the robbers did not give up.
They chased after them and bit them tightly below.
"They can't fly, but they don't plan to let us go."
They came to the deck and looked down, and saw that the robbers had been staring at their position and following them on the sea.
As long as they landed, these robbers would kill them.
"What a group of stubborn guys, but how did these guys know we were coming? Or did we accidentally break into this place?" Lin Yue said.
