Early morning on the fifteenth day.
Garden of Eden, Mechanical Processing Sector, Research Room No. 1.
Richard sat in front of the processing table, silently calculating in his mind the various things he had prepared during this period of time.
Improved micro-spell tracking missiles, light spells, void spells, world-destroying gloves, the mask of the Black Spirit King...
After completing the calculations and making sure that everything was in place and that nothing was missing, he took a breath, stood up and walked out of the door area, entering the nearby Research Room 3.
In the No. 3 laboratory, the ever-lasting ancient tree species Tin Wood was fixed in a new transparent glass pool. Because of the last accident, he finally got the treatment of a single tree in a single room. The energy supply system has been repaired, and Ximu is currently concentrating on absorbing energy from the void, transmitting it to the energy controller, and then transmitting it to other locations outside Laboratory No. 3 for use. I don't know if he was too attentive, but when Richard walked in, Ximuli ignored him.
Richard stepped closer to the tin wood, stretched out his hand and knocked on the other party's trunk. The other party then made the trunk twist slightly, and reluctantly revealed a human face. He exhaled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You should pause for a while about absorbing energy from the void." Richard said, "The pause time can be counted as part of the contract period, and it can be regarded as giving you a holiday."
"Huh?" The human face exposed on the tin tree trunk blinked, doubtful, "Boy, when did you become so kind? Or maybe something abnormal happened?"
"It's nothing abnormal. It's just that I'm going to move the props in the space where you are. Didn't you say before that the movement of the position will affect the channel that absorbs energy from the void? The void knowledge I have studied has indeed proven that This point has been reached, so let’s pause.” Richard explained.
"Is that so?" The tin tree trunk twisted a little and replied, "Okay, I'll pause now."
As he spoke, the colorful arcs dancing on the branches of the tin tree crown decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared in just a few seconds, as if they had never existed.
"Okay, it's been suspended." Ximu said.
Richard nodded, said nothing, and walked towards the door.
When he walked to the door, he stopped, turned to look at Ximu and said, "Although I won't say it, with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to think that since I want to move the space props, I can't keep staring at you. In other words , in the next period of time, you will have the opportunity to cause trouble in this Garden of Eden."
"Hey, boy, what do you mean?" Ximu frowned and said angrily, "You doubt me, will you do something next? Haven't I already proven my sincerity, and I have always been dedicated to fulfilling it. Our contract, last time something happened to your iron knots, I didn’t take the opportunity to do anything, and it will be the same this time.”
"I hope so." Richard responded calmly, "Of course, if you are unwilling, you can indeed try some small tricks, but you have to bear the consequences."
After finishing speaking, Richard walked out of Research Room 3 without looking back.
Ximu looked at Richard's back, the expression on his face was distorted, and his eyes were a little complicated, as if he was thinking about whether what Richard said was true or false. After a long time, a rapid stream of air blew out from the mouth, his eyes blinked, he gave up his guess, and his whole face disappeared on the tree trunk.
…
Outside Laboratory Three.
Richard walked out, looked forward, and found that there was a moving figure, it was the old man Lich.
I saw the old man Lich standing in front of a skeleton that was more than two meters high. He stretched out his hand and knocked it continuously. From time to time, he broke off a bone and threw it on the ground. At this time, an eight-armed skeleton following him will quickly hand over another bone, allowing the old man to reinstall it and replace the previous one.
Seeing the actions of the old man Lich, Richard was quite surprised.
Because as far as he knew, since he last came back from Delan, the old man Lich has become more and more lazy, living more and more like a retired old man. On weekdays, I either lie on the easy chair and sleep, or do other things to kill time. Anyway, I don't work.
But now, not only do I work, but I also work overtime until early in the morning. I feel like a different person.
In the past fifteen days, he has been busy and has hardly paid attention to the old man Lich. Now he is really curious about what happened to him to make him change so much.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Richard stepped forward and walked to the old man Lich. Seeing that the old man Lich and the eight-armed skeleton behind him were still busy, he asked casually: "It's so late, why don't you rest, Mr. Afu?"
"Click, snap!"
The old man Lich replaced a forearm radius on the tall skeleton in front of him, then turned to look over.
An old face, crowded with wrinkles, like an old chrysanthemum withered by the sun. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were filled with fatigue and worry, and he yawned and said, "You think I want to do this, and it's not because of you."
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Richard was confused. During this period of time, because of Rommel's matter, he had been busy preparing. He didn't even communicate with the old man Lich, and he didn't know how he affected the other party.
The old Lich asked aloud: "You have been busy during this time, right?"
"right."
"Moreover, it's not just busy. To be precise, it's very busy." Old Lich emphasized, "Although I don't know what you are busy with, I can feel that you have encountered something difficult."
"so… "
"So, I have no choice but to follow suit." The old man Lich said, "I don't know what exactly you encountered, but if you can't stand it, I have to face it. Make some preparations early, and you won't be able to deal with it. I am wrong, this is what I have learned after living for so many years.”
"Is that so..." Richard then understood: Although he did not communicate with the old man Lich, the old man Lich had noticed some information. This should be the perspective brought by a long life.
"Anyway." Old Lich said, "Although I'm old, I can still be of some help. Even if I can't solve the key problem, the spell puppets I create can at least be used as cannon fodder, right? So, boy, you have If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you. After all, compared to standing up and fighting in person, I still prefer to stand behind and assist."
"I remember, Mr. Ah Fu, you are better at frontal combat. That time in the mine, you fought the enemy head-on." Richard said.
The old man Lich looked over, glared, and said angrily: "Yeah, and then I was almost torn apart by that inspector Chekraft. I'm already old, you can't always let me Do you always do this?"
Please be a human being! This is the implicit meaning of the Lich Old Man.
