There was a long silence.
In silence, the thick-lipped woman next to the long-haired woman came up with a limp and handed out the dye and paper.
The long-haired woman took it, quickly dyed the seal with dye, printed it on the paper, and carefully identified it. Sure enough, she saw what Richard said: blue is water, red is fire, water and fire are inseparable, both are indispensable.
"call-"
The long-haired woman took a deep breath, asked the thick-lipped woman to put away everything, and looked at Richard again: "It seems that you have some information that we don't know."
"Similarly, I believe you also have some information that I don't know." Richard said, "So, if you want to use this seal as a key to explore the ancient ruins where the wizard Thangka left clues, it would be best for us to cooperate s Choice."
"Ancient ruins? Do you even know about ancient ruins?" the long-haired woman whispered, her expression slightly surprised but not exaggerated, as if she was mentally prepared. After a few seconds, the long-haired woman shook her head slightly: "I'm just afraid of this, I can't promise you."
"Reason?" Richard raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
The long-haired woman replied seriously: "First, I don't know your origin, and your joining is a hidden danger to me. Second, we have made complete preparations for exploring ancient ruins. Without you joining, we would not be able to It can be done.”
"But, are you sure that you can enter the ruins without the red seal in my hand? Or, are you planning to snatch the red seal from my hand?" Richard looked at the long-haired woman, smiled, and asked like a joke .
"No." The long-haired woman shook her head lightly, her long hair fluttering in the wind, "I will not do anything to you, let alone take away the seal in your hand. Because, according to my information, only a blue seal is needed. Ancient ruins can be opened."
"Are you sure? Have you forgotten the words on the seal you just discovered?"
"I've already thought about this." The long-haired woman said in a long tone.
"But a few minutes ago, you didn't know the content of the text." Richard reminded.
The long-haired woman: "..." Her expression was a bit unnatural.
There was another long silence in the venue.
"Hoo-ho-"
After a few seconds, the long-haired woman took a deep breath, looked at Richard and said seriously; "The words on the seal in my hand are not accurate. I don't think that, like you said, two seals are necessary. Only one piece can open the ancient ruins, maybe it refers to other things. After all, you can't give proof for this matter."
"Proof... It's actually very easy to prove." Richard raised his eyebrows and said, "Simple, there are two methods: First, I will go to the ruins with you and open it with two seals. If it succeeds, it means that I am right. Or, you can go to the ruins yourself first and use your own methods to open it. If you can't open it, it means I'm right. At that time, maybe you can contact me again for cooperation."
After hearing the words, the woman lowered her head and thought. He grabbed a strand of hair with his right hand and slowly combed it to the end, as if to sort out his thoughts, and finally raised his head again.
"If possible, I will choose the second method of proof." The woman said.
Richard chuckled: "As expected, you don't trust me, but this is normal. I respect your choice. However, I would like to ask, how can we contact you?"
The woman's eyelashes fluttered, and she reached out and took out a white handkerchief from her arms.
Next to him, the brawny man with a bad temper wanted to attack Richard. Seeing the long-haired woman's actions, he spoke a little excitedly and tried to stop him: "Mr. Captain! Don't trust this guy so easily. What if he does something bad? What should I do for the purpose?”
"I know it well." The woman glanced at the strong man and said, without further explanation, she gently threw the handkerchief away, spinning away and flying towards Richard.
Richard reached out to catch it and saw complex magic patterns embroidered with gold and silver thread on the handkerchief. It was obviously a magic prop.
"What exists on the handkerchief is a special communication mark. It is unique to me and cannot be impersonated by others." The long-haired woman spoke out and explained to Richard, "Now, I will take my people to see if I can Enter the ruins alone. If not, then I will contact you, and three of the lines on it will be shiny and hot. After you receive it, come back here within twenty-four hours, and we will talk again."
"Okay." Richard nodded after hearing this, then thought for a few seconds and added conditions, "I hope you can complete this matter within three days. In addition, even if you are not prepared to cooperate with me, you must give me another signal. After all, I don’t want to wait forever. Can I?”
"Of course, this is a reasonable request." The long-haired woman did not refuse and said reasonably, "As you wish, I will complete all this within three days. By then, even if I am not ready to cooperate with you, I will let you The mark on the handkerchief reacts. The specific manifestation is that all the lines will glow and burn at the same time, directly burning."
"I hope it won't be like that." Richard said.
"Oh, I'm just the opposite." The long-haired woman said with a slight smile, half polite and half cold, "I hope for the best result like that. After all, I don't like to share with people without plans. I have already planned a harvest."
"Okay." Richard spread his hands and did not continue to argue on this topic. He took a deep breath and said, "Then we will contact you later when we have a chance. I wish you a good night and see you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Richard bowed his upper body slightly, and his body quickly faded away, disappearing from the sight of the long-haired woman and the others.
"wind!"
The long-haired woman spoke quickly and gave orders to the lame and thick-lipped woman next to her.
The thick-lipped woman nodded, grabbed the air in front of her with both hands, listened for a long time, and said, "He's gone. The wind told me that he has completely left this area."
After finishing speaking, the thick-lipped woman looked at the long-haired woman and asked, "Captain, look, what should we do now?"
The long-haired woman closed her eyes. After a few seconds, she reopened them and made a decision: "Take a rest, and then set off to the destination to see if it is really the seal that the guy said he got from the tomb. , the ruins cannot be opened alone."
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
"No." At this time, the white-haired old man wearing a black iron mask suddenly made a voice from under the mask and put forward different suggestions, "Captain, we'd better set off immediately."
"Huh?" The long-haired woman asked with a questioning expression.
The white-haired old man explained: "You just said that after sending the signal, you will meet the person here twenty-four hours a day. To a certain extent, you have revealed the location of the ruins - it is within a day and night of our journey.
I suspect that the person's subsequent request for you to complete this within three days was for further testing. In this case, even if we deliberately delayed sending the signal, he was sure that the ruins were within a day and a half's journey.
Although this range is still very large, after all, we don’t know how many clues that person has. If we are a step late and are preempted by the other party, it will be bad. "
The long-haired woman opened her eyes after hearing this and looked at the white-haired old man with some reproach: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you stop me when I spoke? You just shook your head and shook your head again."
"I..." The white-haired old man was silent. After a few seconds, he made a faint voice under the mask, and said with a bit of shame, "I am old, my brain is not flexible, and I cannot think clearly all the time. These are my I just thought of it. In fact, if I could think things through all the time, everyone wouldn't be like this."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little depressed.
The long-haired woman's expression became extremely complicated. After a few seconds, she waved her hand and forcibly changed the topic: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. The purpose of exploring the ruins this time is to change the previous mistakes. Now, we are all fighting Cheer up and set off immediately, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison with serious expressions.
