More than twenty minutes later.
Richard sat in the carriage and returned to the courtyard gate.
Standing outside the door, I carefully sensed the situation and found that it was peaceful inside.
There must be nothing wrong, Abel must be too vigilant... Richard thought, pushing the door open and walking into the courtyard.
In the yard, Pandora was taking out a wooden barrel from the room and walking towards the center of the yard. On the ground there, there was a bare wooden stick, which was the staff vine originally bought from Reis.
Richard noticed that a large area of the ground around the staff vine was wet, which meant that a lot of water had been poured before. He looked at the water in Pandora's barrel again and couldn't help but ask Pandora. Said: "By the way, you shouldn't have been watering this staff vine since I left home, right? Pandora?"
After hearing what he said, Pandora looked over and shook his head: "How could it be? I followed what the book said. I first loosened the soil for the staff vine to give it a better growth environment, and then applied some fertilizer. , give it enough nutrients.
After that, I recited some unknown incantation for a long time, saying it could adjust its internal structure, and then sang several songs to make it and I feel happy, and finally watered it. So far, I have only poured three buckets of water. This is only the fourth bucket, which is far from enough. "
Richard: "..."
After a moment of silence, he asked: "How many buckets do you plan to pour?"
"Pour six buckets first and see how it goes." Pandora said, "If it's not enough, add four more buckets. Well, this is what the book says."
It's over... This staff vine can't survive today... Richard said with certainty in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I'll go to the Garden of Eden first. You can go in by yourself after watering. .”
"Okay." Pandora responded and walked to the planted staff vines. Without looking back, she picked up the bucket and poured water on the staff vines.
Richard shook his head, feeling that this was the same as executing the staff and vine on the spot. He couldn't bear to look directly at it, so he walked towards the side bedroom.
Just after taking two steps, his eyebrows suddenly rose. His keen sense caught the slightest movement in the surrounding environment. He stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at the location not far from Pandora.
Under the morning sun, not far from Pandora, the shadow of the wall was still. But if you observe carefully, you can find that the shadow is moving slowly, approaching Pandora at a speed that far exceeds the movement of the sun in the sky.
This is
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, and then noticed that Pandora's watering action slowed down slightly, and he obviously noticed something was wrong with the shadow.
The shadow may be the only presence at the scene that is unaware of the strangeness, and continues to insist on getting closer and closer.
Finally, it arrived less than one meter away from Pandora.
"brush!"
With a sound, the shadow surged, turned into a human figure, and rushed towards Pandora. A dagger of black energy quickly stabbed Pandora's neck.
Then the dagger stopped only a few centimeters away from Pandora's neck. The figure stopped, turned to look at Richard, and made a threatening voice that was like a mechanical synthesis with no tone distinction: "Boy, I heard that the seal of the legendary wizard Thoros is on You here? Very good, hand over the seal, or I will kill this little girl."
"This..." Richard hesitated for a moment, looked the figure up and down, and said in disbelief, "Your strength seems to be only at the level of a first-level wizard?"
"So what! It's enough to kill this little girl." The figure said loudly, but there was still no distinction in tone. Every word was accented, which was very strange to human ears.
"Maybe..." Richard said noncommittally, with a look of pity on his face.
"What do you mean when you look like this?" The figure asked with a rounded look and some displeasure.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, the figure soon knew the reason.
Pandora frowned, suddenly reached out and pulled out the staff vine planted in the yard next to her, and swung it towards the figure holding her hostage.
"call out!"
The root of the staff vine was pulled out, and there was still damp soil with a fishy smell. Amidst the sharp whistling sound, it was like a stone pillar supporting the temple, and it was swung heavily on the face of the figure. The figure's entire face suddenly sunk, and flew out like a baseball.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the figure flew more than ten meters, landed heavily, twitched a few times, and then fell silent.
The scene suddenly became silent.
Richard looked at Pandora, and Pandora looked at Richard.
"Did you use too much force?" Richard frowned slightly, "It seems like he was beaten to death directly. I still want to interrogate him and ask him what happened."
"I only used a little force, okay?" Pandora said a little aggrievedly, "It's because he was too inexperienced.
Since I woke up last time, my strength has not increased a lot at once, but it has continued to grow over time, so I don't dare to use too much force against any first-level wizard. This time I hit him very carefully, but he still died. I can only say that he may be a fake first-level wizard. "
"Alas -" Richard sighed lightly and did not say anything else. He walked towards the motionless figure, ready to check to see if he could find any clues from the body.
As a result, as soon as his hand touched the corpse, his eyebrows rose, and he realized that something was wrong with the corpse.
Well, something was wrong, at least not a corpse in the conventional sense.
Although the corpse is wearing clothes, these clothes are made of energy. With death, they are gradually turning into black energy and dissipating, revealing the body under the clothes.
The body is also made of energy. There are no internal organs and the facial features are very vague. It is purely an energy body, or a special magic puppet.
Pandora's stick just now should have violently broken the internal energy balance of the spell puppet, causing the spell puppet to lose its life. This is why the spell puppet is relatively weak in his opinion despite having the strength of a first-level wizard. reason.
In addition, it also explained how a high-level first-level wizard dared to break in the door.
"So it's a magic puppet..." Richard murmured, his eyes slightly sharp.
Since there is a magic puppet, it is no surprise that there is a wizard nearby who controls the magic puppet—the other person is the real mastermind behind this attack.
The question is, where is the other party hiding
Richard turned his head and looked at Pandora who was walking over.
Pandora also discovered something abnormal about the corpse at this time and understood the meaning in Richard's eyes. He glanced at the magic puppet and frowned for a long time. His unreliable prophecy ability was rarely reliable for once. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction: "It should be over there."
After hearing this, Richard stepped forward, jumped up quickly, and reached mid-air. His eyes blinked with a deep blue luster.
Gazing eyes open!
"brush!"
The entire world quickly became transparent in his field of vision, turning into lines, allowing Richard to penetrate numerous obstacles, see life forms one after another, and then successfully lock on a rather special target.
Without hesitation, Richard exploded with speed. The surface of his body was wrapped in a layer of rich gray energy, and he quickly flew towards the locked target.
One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters!
When they were only five hundred meters away from the target, two black figures suddenly jumped up from the ground and tried to block them. They were the same energy-body magic puppets as before.
Richard glanced at it and ignored it. During the flight, two golden lights roared out and penetrated the energy body magic puppet with a "boom", directly smashing it to pieces.
Then it continued to fly toward the target without being affected at all, and landed in the courtyard where the target was located.
