five minutes later.
In the Garden of Eden.
Richard handed Ximu to the care of the old man Lich, and quietly listened to the old man Lich's detailed description of the previous process of Ximu's defection.
With his eyebrows raised, Richard looked at the old man Lich and said, "In other words, you were really no match for Ximu before and almost died. Was it the eight-armed skeleton who saved you and seriously injured Ximu? Pandora took action. At that time, Ximu was already seriously injured and on the verge of death, so how could Pandora kill Ximu so easily and then send those messages to me?"
"That's about right." The old lich nodded with a wooden face.
"So, that eight-armed skeleton is very powerful. He was clearly made by you, but you can't figure out his details. It's a bit mysterious." Richard thought for a few seconds, looked at the old man Lich and asked, "I Now I kind of want to communicate with him, do you know where he is?"
"He—" The old Lich tilted his head slightly and looked into the distance.
Richard followed the old man Lich's gaze and saw a skeleton with eight arms dozens of meters away, wandering in front of a dozen new magic puppets, as if visiting a mall.
After "picking and choosing" among a dozen spell puppets for a while, the eight-armed skeleton took action and grabbed one of them. With a "click" and a little force, a complete arm was skillfully removed. Then he folded it slightly and stuffed it into his stomach. He turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
The old man Lich's expression darkened, he stretched out his hand and said angrily: "That's him! He's getting more and more excessive. He comes here every day to dismantle my magic puppets. If I'm not old and don't want to do it, I must talk to him properly. Be reasonable'."
Richard: "..."
With a somewhat strange expression, he looked at the eight-armed skeleton. The other person noticed and turned to look over.
The next moment, the eight-armed skeleton stopped, the blue flames in its eyes jumped, and the eight arms swung left and right at the same time, making an extremely innocent look, as if to say: It's not me, you are wrong, don't trust others. if.
Richard: "..." He couldn't help but understand the specialness of this eight-armed skeleton.
Thoughts were swirling in my mind, and I couldn't help but recall the "square" mark that once appeared on the calendar in the main laboratory. Originally he thought it might be the work of the old lich, but now it seems that it is probably the work of the eight-armed skeleton.
In this case, we really need to have a good communication.
…
One minute later.
A storage room door in the Garden of Eden.
You can see that there are dozens of bones on one side of the door, piled neatly, like chopped wood, and they don't know what they are used for.
In front of the door, Richard and the eight-armed skeleton were looking at each other.
You look at me, I look at you.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After looking at one person and one skeleton for more than ten seconds, Richard changed his movements and sighed, realizing that it was really difficult to communicate with the eight-armed skeleton in front of him.
After all, it is very difficult to make eye contact alone. As for the eight-armed skeleton, to be precise, it doesn't even have eyes, but the soul fire in its eye sockets fluctuates occasionally.
The difficulty has reached the sky's limit.
He is considered a master, and his communication difficulty is comparable to that of Pandora whom he just met.
Turning his head and looking at the old lich standing next to him, Richard asked aloud: "How do you usually communicate with him?"
"Uh, this..." The old Lich scratched his head and said, "Actually, the communication between me and him is almost the same as the communication between you and him. Don't look like this. As long as I can really communicate with him, I will be there." Don’t you know his details now?”
"Is he completely unable to speak?"
"It's hard to say." The old Lich thought thoughtfully. "I can only confirm that he currently does not have the ability to speak. Even if he is equipped with a vocal organ, it will not work. Because this involves relatively complex knowledge of magic puppets. In a sense, he is now just a skeleton, and a skeleton itself cannot speak.
After all, skeletons are just a kind of low-level life, completely different from the stupid tree of high-level life that rebelled. As for why a low-level life skeleton can defeat a high-level life ancient tree species, that is another matter.
In short, in my opinion, unless this skeleton is destroyed and remade, he will remain in his current mute state. And if we really destroy him and re-create him, it will be difficult to guarantee that his current soul will not be damaged. After all, I have no idea what his current situation is. "
After speaking, the old man Lich spread his hands and showed an expression of trying his best.
Richard couldn't help but frown.
The old Lich's words made it clear that he could not change the eight-armed skeleton.
If you can't change the eight-armed skeleton, you can't communicate effectively with the other party. So how should you deal with the other party
According to the description of the Lich Old Man, the eight-armed skeleton is powerful and mysterious. Although all actions indicate that the other party has no malicious intent, it is difficult to prove whether the other party is really like this or is pretending.
"Kick him out?" Richard whispered. This was obviously the safest way.
Pandora appeared out of nowhere, heard Richard's words from the side, and said quickly: "Don't drive him away, I'm sure he is good."
"Okay?" Richard heard this and looked at Pandora.
Pandora looked over with wide eyes and said seriously: "He is really good, I can guarantee it."
"How do you know he is good? Is there a reason?" Richard asked. This was the key to what he wanted to find out.
Could it be that Pandora could communicate smoothly with the eight-armed skeleton in private
This seems unlikely. Putting aside the fact that one is a dragon and the other is a skeleton, the species difference is too great. Even if Pandora is currently studying mathematics in her house all day long, it is unlikely that she will have too much contact with the eight-armed skeleton.
That is how the matter
Pandora spoke up and said: "Actually, I don't know why he is good, but a hunch tells me that he should be good." Pandora said very seriously, not joking at all.
When Richard heard this, he understood instantly. Obviously, this is Pandora's metaphysical prophecy ability at work again.
Although Pandora's prophecy ability is extremely unstable, it is comparable to the broadband speed of some communication operators on the earth. But judging from what has happened so far, Pandora's prediction ability has been effective every time, and she has made no mistakes, so she is worthy of trust.
If Pandora says eight-armed skeletons are good, then eight-armed skeletons are good.
The prophet Pandora gave the player eight-armed skeleton gold water, which he can trust... Richard couldn't help but think of some game terms of the "Werewolf" board game on Earth, and smiled softly in his heart, feeling a little relaxed.
However, even though he was relaxed, the communication problem with the eight-armed skeleton still had to be found.
How to deal with it
