After watching Jasmine remain silent for a long time, Richard spoke.
He glanced at Jasmine and said, "Why, you haven't thought about what you can give me in exchange for my help? Well, let me tell you.
You just told me that you asked me to send you to the middle of the ruins, but you didn't want to share the things in the ruins with me. It seems that the things in the ruins are very important to you. I don’t want to rob you violently, but the principle is still necessary. No matter what is in the ruins, I will take half of it. If the thing I get is really meaningless to me, I can give it to you, but it must belong to you before. I.
Besides, aren't you saying that the exploration ends in the middle, and that the second half is too dangerous to be explored anymore? You are not exploring, but I am interested in exploring. To this end, I want you to provide me with all the relevant information you have on hand. In addition, you must also assist me.
If you encounter danger, you can leave early and let me explore alone, but before encountering danger, you must provide me with the help you can. Of course, since you are not interested in the second half of the income, all of it belongs to me. After all, almost all of the first half of the income is yours. In comparison, this is only fair. "
When Richard said this, he paused. He thought very clearly in his heart that he was not too interested in what Jasmine brought out. After all, he is not a traditional wizard and does not have high demand for some magic props. Unless they are technical materials, they are valuable.
Therefore, when he helped the other party, he only valued the location and information of the ancient ruins that the other party had. If he could get something similar to the energy furnace design diagram from the next ancient ruins, it would be a huge benefit.
However, the prerequisite for achieving this is to take the initiative in exploring the ruins. Otherwise, if you see something and Jasmine asks for it, there is no way to get it back unless you break your face.
In terms of initiative, if you cannot take the initiative in the first half of the ruins, you must also take the initiative in the second half of exploring the ruins. In a word: the initiative is very important. You cannot master everything, but you must master some. In this way, if he helps the other party, he won't suffer a loss.
Looking at Jasmine, Richard asked aloud: "What do you think of what I said?"
As soon as she finished speaking, before Jasmine could answer, all of Jasmine's men already had dark faces. In their view, Richard's request was not just "whatever" it was, it was completely excessive.
They asked Richard for help, just because they wanted to pay a relatively small price and let Richard help solve a problem and act as a tool. On the other hand, Richard wants to use them as tools. How can he accept this
They already had great distrust of Richard. After Richard revealed Jasmine's identity, their vigilance increased significantly. Now I just want to reject Richard. Even if I pay a higher price to find someone else, I will not cooperate with Richard. But Jasmine didn't answer. As subordinates, they couldn't speak first, so they glared at Richard and dared not say anything.
After a few seconds, Jasmine finally spoke. Compared with her subordinates, she seemed relatively calm. She did not refuse Richard, but looked at him and asked a few questions: "Are you sure that you only want half of the revenue from the first half of the ruins? It won't change then. , increase share?”
"Won't."
"Are you sure that if we encounter danger during the second half of the expedition to the ruins, we will be able to leave?"
"Sure."
"Then how to judge whether it is considered to be in danger? Should you do it, or should we?"
"It's up to you."
When Jasmine asked such a question, all of Jasmine's subordinates instinctively felt that something was wrong. They all looked at Jasmine and whispered to persuade her.
"Princess, don't be impulsive..."
"Princess, we don't necessarily have to ask him for help..."
"Princess, actually..."
Jasmine ignored him and looked at Richard to ask the final question: "During this expedition, you will go all out, right?"
"If I encounter difficulties, I will naturally take action with all my strength. After all, helping you is helping me." Richard replied.
After listening to this, Jasmine thought seriously for about half a minute and decided: "Okay, I agree to your request."
"Very good." After hearing this, Richard nodded and asked directly, "When will we set off?"
"How long do you need to prepare?" Jasmine asked.
"I don't need to prepare. We can start exploring the ruins today." Richard said. At the same time as he spoke, as if he sensed something, he glanced in the direction outside the woods and added, "The sooner the better, it's best to set off right away." .”
Jasmine raised her eyebrows, remembering that Richard had done something similar on his last expedition, and asked aloud: "Why, could it be that your intuition is at work again, thinking that something bad will happen if it is too late?"
"This is just one aspect." Richard did not deny it, paused and said, "On the other hand, my time is precious. I will finish your work as soon as possible, and I will come back to busy myself. Being more efficient will be good for you and It’s all good for me, isn’t it?”
Jasmine was stunned. Originally, he thought that Richard would be delayed for a few days. After all, this time was different from last time. She took the initiative to look for Richard. The last time Richard looked for her, she spent two days verifying that he could not open the door to the ruins before she decided to cooperate with Richard.
Who knows, Richard didn't let her worry about it at all. It seemed that he had already taken care of everything in advance. As long as she nodded her head, she could execute it immediately.
From this point of view... it actually has advantages to be realistic.
"Okay -" Jasmine spoke up and said to Richard, "Then let's set off immediately. It will take more than a day to get to the location of the ruins and explore the ruins. If everything goes well, it will take half a day. It should be four days before we get back. "
"Then lead the way." Richard raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Jasmine didn't say any more, nodded lightly, stepped on her feet, jumped up, and flew in a direction outside the woods.
Although Jasmine's subordinates were a little unhappy and felt that they should not agree to Richard so easily, they had no choice but to follow him quickly.
Richard also followed, and after a while, he left the area around Farrow.
…
A few hours after the group left, it was approaching evening.
Bibi hurried forward, sniffing the scent and chasing into the woods. Looking around, he saw no one, and frowned deeply. Then he murmured in a disappointed tone, "Gone? He actually... left..."
After feeling disappointed for a while, his expression gradually turned into anger.
"I didn't catch it again..." Standing among the trees, Bibi clenched her fists, resentful, "Just a little bit, just a little bit! Bastard, just a bastard, you don't know that I've been traveling all over Faroe City in the past few days. He was about to find it, but he left at this moment. It’s so abominable! It’s extremely abominable!”
After sniffing, Bibi lowered her face and said, "Now, who knows when the target will come back? What if the other party notices it and never comes back? Then, where else can I look for it
Can you still find it? This... is too difficult, too difficult! I just want to have a good time after completing the task, why can't I get what I want? This... this... is someone deliberately targeting me? "
Bibi grabbed her hair, looked up at the branch next to her, looked at a white dove on the branch, and asked: "Tell me, am I right?"
White Pigeon: "Coo, coo, coo!"
Bibi glared: "Nonsense, someone is just targeting me, it has nothing to do with me not working hard! I haven't been idle these days, I've been busy, okay!"
White Pigeon: "Gu Gu, Gu Gu."
Bibi: "How could I? I just drank once and slept for a long time, how could I keep sleeping again?"
White Pigeon: "Gu Gu, Gu Gu."
Bibi: "Shut up, half a day is half a day!"
At the end of the sentence, Bibi punched the tree trunk angrily.
"boom!"
The trees shook violently, and the white pigeon flew up in panic, and saw that the tree where it once lived was quickly tilting to one side.
