"Rumble—"
A huge roar sounded in the night, spreading throughout almost the entire Xiaya City.
Xia Ya City's official reception desk, Richard's residence courtyard.
In the study room on the second floor, Richard was sitting at his desk after seeing Oscar off. He quickly raised his head after hearing the sound. He got up and walked to the window and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Just a few seconds after the first explosion, there were several consecutive roars that were no weaker than the first, loud and short.
Richard judged that this was definitely a battle at the level of a fourth-level wizard, and it might even be a high-intensity battle involving multiple fourth-level wizards. Every roar represents a confrontation of destructive forces. The energy fluctuations generated by the confrontation are so strong that they can be transmitted along the air to him, and there are still residues.
Richard felt a little emotional... Xia Ya City is really getting more and more chaotic. With such battles happening, I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. It would be wise to leave as soon as possible.
The explosion appeared very suddenly and disappeared quickly. After ringing several times, with the last roar, all the movement suddenly disappeared without a trace in the night. The remnants of the energy fluctuations also quickly dissipated. Everything seemed like Nothing happened.
Richard calmed down his thoughts and did not inquire about the idea of the battle, because he still had his own affairs to deal with, so he turned around and looked at the desk.
Beside the desk, there were four chairs scattered around. Four people were sitting on them, namely Pandora, Bibi, the old lich Afu and the eight-armed skeleton Anan.
Each of the four people held a scroll in their hands, with different contents written on the scroll. After the four people finished reading, they put it down one by one and looked over.
"You've finished reading them all? How do you feel?" Richard looked at it and asked aloud, "This time when I formulated the "Medium and Long-term Research Plan", I also took you into consideration, and formulated an exclusive plan for the four of you, isn't it? It’s mandatory, but it’s definitely beneficial to you. And if you cooperate, you can also help me with a lot of things, how about it?”
"I have no problem." Pandora was the first to speak out. Her planning plan had the most content and was the most detailed, but she was the first to read it. Because she originally studied with Richard, her way of thinking was quite consistent with Richard's, so she didn't find any reason for not cooperating.
After hearing this, Richard nodded with satisfaction and looked at Bibi.
After Bibi put down the scroll of the planning plan, she was looking serious at this moment...picking her nose, digging very hard, and digging very deeply.
After a few seconds, after feeling Richard's increasingly serious gaze, he finally realized what he was doing. He kept his fingers in his nostrils with some reluctance, then nodded to Richard and said, "I... I'm fine, too."
"Are you sure?" Richard asked a little doubtfully after hearing this, "There are many challenging contents in your planning plan. Do you really think you can do it?"
"Really?" After hearing this, Bibi looked through the scroll in surprise and kept exclaiming, "Preliminarily proficient in mathematics? Preliminary proficiency in mechanics? Preliminary proficiency in electronics? Preliminary proficiency in magic patterns? Preliminary... Finally achieve continuous repair and improvement of non-core parts of your body?”
After reading it, Bibi widened her eyes and asked, "So, do you need to learn a lot of things?"
"Did you just know this? You didn't read the plan at all just now, did you?" Richard couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I did not watch it because I was lazy..." Bibi was honest, "But I pretended to be like it, right? There should be a reward, right?"
Richard: "..."
After a moment of silence, Richard said to Bibi: "You should read it carefully again, and then tell me what you think. Maybe I can make some adjustments."
"You don't have to look, I'll just agree to everything." Bibi said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you said it, it's not mandatory. If I don't finish what I promised, you can't punish me, right? Besides, about memory recovery, I haven't decided yet. If I really decide to restore my memory, my personality will change, and I may not bother to pay attention to any plans, so everything I do now may be meaningless."
Richard glanced at Bibi and had to say that Bibi's logic was very self-consistent. He thought about it and said, "Actually, your decision to restore your memory can be considered for a while longer when making the "Medium and Long-term Research Plan." , I have new research ideas on memory recovery. If the research is successful, it may be able to reduce some side effects and even allow you to make memory recovery reversible."
"Is that so?" Bibi nodded, not sure whether she understood or not, while showing a thoughtful expression, she picked her nostrils again.
Seeing this, Richard withdrew his gaze from Bibi, turned to the old lich Ah Fu, and said, "Mr. Ah Fu, what do you think of your plan?"
"Me..." At this time, the lich old man Ah Fu frowned slightly, pointed to the scroll on his lap, looked at Richard and asked for confirmation, "According to what is said here, I should enrich my research direction. , instead of simply improving the spell puppets, it would be better to conduct research on other spells such as necromancy, evocation spells, etc.?"
"right."
"But why?"
"Because... Mr. Ah Fu, your research on magic puppets has not made much progress so far. Are you planning to continue like this?" Richard said.
"I..." The old lich Ah Fu couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this. The next moment he couldn't help turning his head, staring at the eight-armed skeleton Anan, and shouted: "It's all caused by this guy's trouble! If we get this guy away, I will The improvement of the spell puppet will lead to a major breakthrough tomorrow."
At the end of the sentence, the old man Lich was really full of anger, and the eight-armed skeleton really made him angry.
Basically, the eight-armed skeleton would go to him and steal a few bones every day, which would affect his improvement progress more or less randomly.
Over the course of so many days, I'm afraid hundreds of bones were stolen. What is this concept? Rounded up, it’s 100 million!
Richard somewhat understood the mood of the old man Lich, so he turned to look at the eight-armed skeleton and said seriously: "Because of what Mr. Afu said, there is only one sentence in the plan I gave you, and that is: Don't cause trouble. Can you do it?"
The eight-armed skeleton sat in a chair and said nothing - he didn't want to say, couldn't say. However, the quiet fire burning in the eyes seemed to express a vague meaning, that is... Well, let me think about it.
consider
It looks very flat.
Seeing the appearance of the eight-armed skeleton, the old lich became angry and couldn't help but want to get up and "communicate" with the eight-armed skeleton.
Fortunately, Richard controlled the situation in time and said: "Okay, let's get here today. You can go back to the Garden of Eden to rest first. If you have time, carefully think about the contents of the planning plan. In addition, in the past few days, Xia Ya is a bit chaotic, so don’t go out and wander around, and don’t leave the courtyard while wandering around, otherwise you may be affected by the fighting somewhere.”
"So chaotic? Can we take the opportunity to do something?" Bibi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested.
"It's best not to." Richard listened to the advice, "The situation now is not ordinary chaos. Various forces are fighting each other. There are many unknown risks. Without a very important reason, it is better not to act rashly.
"What if you are already in danger? For example, someone suddenly breaks in and wants to cause trouble? You can always take action and beat him up, right?" Bibi was eager to give it a try.
"This..." Richard hesitated and said, "Of course it is possible, but the chance is very small. This courtyard should be safe for the time being, and no one will break in casually. Besides, we will leave soon, leave, There’s no need to worry at all.”
"Oh." Bibi nodded slightly disappointedly after hearing this. Without saying anything more, the three of them turned around and left the room with Pandora.
At this moment, the study window suddenly shattered with a crash, and a figure covered in blood crashed in.
