early morning.
The sun rises from the horizon, releasing the first rays of golden sunlight.
This ray of light is like a thin needle puncturing a balloon, causing the darkness to shrink quickly. The brightening light from the east then filled the entire world bit by bit, like a advancing wave sweeping across the entire continent.
The light spread to the small town of Pompeii on the mountainside of Mount Vesuvius, and a new day was officially announced.
The figures of three wizards appeared on the streets of Pompeii Town, one tall and two short. The tall wizard was in front, leading the team silently and quickly forward. After a while, they stopped in front of a building - Pompeii Little. Town, Subdivision No. 12, Residence No. 1248.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a heavy knock on the door.
Ten seconds later, with a "squeak" sound, Richard opened the door from the room and saw three strange Truth Society wizards standing outside the door.
The opponent's strength was only about a first-level wizard, and he did not appear to have much malice. He showed a business-like look. The tall male wizard standing at the front confirmed loudly: "Wizard Richard, right?"
"Yes." Richard did not deny it.
"Okay." The male wizard nodded, "I'm sorry to bother you. We are here to invite you according to the instructions of Director Rommel. He wants to meet you and have a more important exchange. You see, you have Time?"
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where does the supervisor want me to go now?"
"Just come with us and we'll take you to the supervisor."
"Okay, please." Richard, who had already expected and prepared, gave an agreed answer without much hesitation.
"Okay." The tall wizard breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and took the lead with his companions towards the center of Pompeii Town.
Richard stepped forward to follow. As he walked, he glanced in the direction outside Pompeii. He didn't see Oscar coming to support him, so he silently adjusted the details of the plan in his mind.
…
After a while, the three wizards led Richard to the square in the center of Pompeii Town.
Because it was just dawn, not a single person could be seen here. The dents made by Chekraft a few days ago have not been repaired, and it looks a bit cold and dilapidated.
The leader of the three wizards pointed towards the center of the square and said politely: "Wizard Richard, please wait here for a while. Director Rommel will come to meet you soon."
"good."
"Then let's go do other things first?"
"OK, bye."
"goodbye."
The three wizards turned around and walked quickly into the distance. After walking a few dozen meters, they turned around and disappeared from sight.
As the three people disappeared, new figures appeared, and powerful wizard figures appeared on the tops of the stone buildings around the square. There are many third-level wizards among them, and the rest are second-level wizards, vaguely surrounding the entire square.
Richard looked at it and was not very surprised. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and then his ears moved.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
There was a sound of footsteps, and a large group of people poured into the square from the ground.
The crowd parted, and Chekhov appeared, walked to the front, looked at Richard carefully, and after a few seconds smiled and said: "Wizard Richard, we meet again, but I think this may be the last time we meet. Do you want to Do you know the reason?"
Richard didn't answer, and looked at Chikafu quietly, letting him perform alone.
"Huh?" Seeing that Richard remained silent for a long time, Chicave was a little surprised.
"Pretend to be calm? Haha, it's up to you." However, Chekaf did not look embarrassed at all and continued, "I have to say, Wizard Richard, I admire the choice you made. Before, Rommel defended you so much , he did not hesitate to use the magic props exchanged by the gods to delay time, just to give you a chance to believe in the true god, but you rejected him.
Why, you want to say that the deadline given to you by Director Rommel has not yet come, so you have not refused now? So what are you going to do, tell Director Rommel at the last moment that you are willing
It's a pity that Director Rommel is not so easy to deceive. He may have had high hopes for you, but now he has seen through your hypocrisy and is completely disappointed in you. Therefore, even if you did not reject him verbally, delaying it for such a long time is no different from rejection in his eyes.
In this case, he will no longer have to defend you. Your identity as a spy is destined to be revealed and you are destined to be tried.
Don't think that this is a one-sided statement on my part and that I deceived Director Rommel into committing illegal acts. If you look at the people around you, it should be clear that this is the decision of Pompeii as a whole.
The trial meeting was completed yesterday in your absence, and Director Rommel personally formulated a plan to deal with you. The reason why he does not appear here now is because he personally went to your residence. After finding the evidence, he will come here to confront you and make you convinced. "
…
Residence No. 1248.
"Wow!"
Rommel, who was wearing a golden robe, pressed one hand on the door, causing the entire door to shatter.
Taking steps, stepping on debris on the ground, Rommel walked into the house, with silvery light in his eyes, constantly scanning the items in the room, trying to find evidence of guilt as he said at yesterday's meeting.
He never believed that Richard was innocent or innocent. In fact, he believed that Richard had always had problems and was secretly doing things that violated the principles of the Truth Society. It's just that he is not a pedantic or rigid person. Considering Richard's potential and contribution to the Truth Society, he feels that he can tolerate it to a certain extent.
However, Richard's delaying behavior made him very disappointed, and finally decided to directly deal with Richard, a flawed candidate, and spend time choosing an excellent successor.
In this case, in order for Richard to truly "please plead guilty", he felt it was necessary to find evidence of Richard's guilt.
The argument that Richard argued with Chikafu before was that there was no direct evidence.
Well, he will find out for himself now.
Considering that Richard only has one or several spatial iron rings on his body, it is impossible to remove everything in his residence. There must be some omissions left, and it will not be difficult to find them.
only…
Rommel glanced around the entire room. All the items in the room showed different sheens in his field of vision, some were light blue, some were light green, but there were no suspicious red shiny items.
This shouldn't be... Rommel frowned deeply and looked around the room again while pacing. The silver-white light in his eyes became brighter. After more than ten seconds, he stopped in the bedroom of his residence.
He lowered his head, looked at the ground for a while, and murmured: "So all the secrets are hidden underground? Well, Wizard Richard let me see what surprise you have left for me."
After finishing speaking, Rommel waved his hand, and the air in the room suddenly condensed into a ball, turning into an air missile and hitting the floor hard.
With a "crash" sound, wood chips flew away, revealing a downward entrance to the corridor.
Rommel did not hesitate, applied a layer of protective energy film on the surface of his body, and walked forward.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Soon, the entire figure disappeared into the corridor.
