The man in black robe took a deep breath and explained seriously.
"Now that you know my identity, you should know that I would never have been willing to stay in that mine. Instead, I was forced to live in that state and live as a miner because of some restrictions."
"Yeah. It's clear." Richard nodded.
"And the reason why I am like that, in a sense, is all the 'credit' of the White Stone Tower!"
"So, the first thing you're going to do when you're free is get back at them?"
"Yes." The man in black robe nodded, "I killed people in Cuijin City in order to avenge them, and now I kill people on the giant ship also in order to avenge them. But..."
"But what?"
The man in black robe smiled and said with some self-deprecation: "But this revenge is not a real revenge. You have to understand that the White Stone Tower is a very large wizard organization, and there are many wizards in it. What I am doing now The retaliation I carried out would not hurt the opponent's muscles and bones at all. At most, it would only make the opponent shed some blood and release some of the resentment in my heart.
Although I asked a wizard who survived on this giant ship to help me bring some harsh words to the people in the White Stone Tower, it was just a bluff. For my own safety, I will never follow the giant ship to the White Rock Tower. And in order to have uninterrupted revenge, or to get better revenge, I can only use you. "
"I?"
"Yes, you." The man in black robe nodded, his expression becoming more serious, "You can say observation, you can also say peeping, but I am already sure that you are special. You are very interesting, very smart, and also A very powerful person. I believe that if you can reach the White Stone Tower alive, you will definitely complete your revenge on my behalf."
Richard blinked, looked at the man in black robe and said, "Is there any misunderstanding between us? Although I may be a little smarter than the average person, it doesn't mean that I can do whatever I want. So do you As I said, with your current ability, you don’t dare to go to the White Stone Tower to retaliate. So if I go to take revenge, wouldn’t it mean I’m going to die
In addition, one of the characteristics of being smart is to understand the situation clearly, right? If I really reach the White Stone Tower safely, wouldn't it be good to live a peaceful life there? Why do I do some damage, why do I help you take revenge? After all, I was there to study. "
"Study?" The man in black robe laughed and nodded, "Yes, study, you are indeed studying there. In fact, I did not stop you from studying. The revenge I am talking about is not the straightforward one you imagined. , unabashed revenge - I am not stupid. In my opinion, ensuring that you reach the White Stone Tower alive is the best revenge. Because you are different from others, very different.
You are smart and special, so even if you hide, you will still destroy the White Stone Tower in order to achieve some goals. Otherwise, you won't get what you want.
Sending you to the White Stone Tower is like driving a nail and planting a seed. I believe you will give me some surprises, and this is enough. "
"It sounds like I have to do this?" Richard asked.
"Actually, that's it. A special person like you is like a wolf disguised in sheep's clothing. When you enter the sheep's clothing, the damage you cause is unimaginable. It's not as simple as killing a few wizards, but often Larger and more fundamental damage can even shake the foundation of the entire White Stone Tower."
"You value me too much."
"No, you hide yourself too much." The man in black robe said, his eyes flashing, "Of course, I won't let you do things in vain, there will be rewards. Like this."
As the man in black robe spoke, a bead appeared in his hand. It was only the size of an eyeball and was blood red in color, with a strange light shining on its surface.
"This is a magic item." The man in black robe explained calmly. "After activated with magic power, it can release huge destructive power. Its power is almost equivalent to a full blow in my current state."
After hearing this, Richard raised his eyebrows: "In other words, can you kill any of the four genuine wizards on the previous giant wheel head-on?"
"Actually, if four wizards come together, they might be able to kill each other instantly." The man in black robe said, "After all, don't underestimate my ability to attack with all my strength. In the previous battle, if a wizard hadn't forcibly upgraded his level, he would have exploded. If he loses a strength that is not his own, none of the four wizards will be able to come back.
Of course, you must also know that the damage caused by this bead is indistinguishable. So when you use it, be careful not to involve yourself and perish together with the enemy. "
Richard said: "By the way, even though you say this, you must be thinking in your heart that even if I die together with your enemies in the White Stone Tower, it won't matter, right? After all, when I use this bead, It’s almost a desperate situation. If I can kill one more person, I can also help you take revenge on the White Stone Tower."
"Haha." The man in black robe smiled, without comment, but stretched out his hand and threw the blood-red bead over.
Richard gently caught it, put it away, and said to himself: "Since it can explode with such great power, let's call it the Destruction Pearl."
At this time, the man in black robe took out a second item, which was a long scroll.
"This is a rare spell scroll, which records a spell called 'Invisibility'. The inventor of this spell is said to be a powerful wizard named 'Eugene Andrew' a long time ago, and was later used by a The wizard named 'Angelet' has been improved.
Its effect can be said to be none, but it can also be said to be very powerful. That is to hide his own mana fluctuations and pretend to be an ordinary person that no one can detect. If you are proficient, you can even hide the breath of life, thereby blocking the enemy's perception, quietly approaching the enemy, and launching a sneak attack.
This spell should be the ultimate pursuit of many thieves, but I believe that if it is put into your hands, you can play a greater role. "
After the man in black robe finished speaking, he threw the scroll over again.
Richard accepted it and commented in a low voice: "'The Art of Concealment', it's a very appropriate name."
"Okay, here's another thing." The man in black robe took out the third item and held it in his hand. It is a simple ring, it looks a bit old and gives people an ordinary feeling. But the man in black robe looked at the ring, his eyes showing a bit of reluctance. Finally, as if he had made a big decision, he looked up and spoke slowly.
"You don't know it now, but you will definitely hear a lot of rumors in the future. The rumor is that there is a big secret hidden in the White Stone Tower. Once this secret is unlocked, unimaginable benefits will be obtained. I can tell you , this rumor, the secret in the rumor is true.
I tried to untie it before, but unfortunately failed. And the reason why I ended up in the situation you saw me in has nothing to do with this secret. Now, I'm a little tired and don't want to try again. However, I can leave you with some of the rewards of this secret, which is this ring.
You don't need to know what it does now, but you will understand it when the time comes. Actually, I don't think you can unlock the secret. But with a certain mentality, I still hope that you can go further than me on this road. "
After saying that, the man in black robe threw the ring towards Richard.
Richard caught it again and put it away. This time he didn't say anything and had nothing to say. He simply responded: "Uh, okay."
The man in black robe stood up, exhaled, and looked straight over: "Okay, these are the rewards I can give you. I believe you will make good use of them. In fact, even if I don't give you a reward, I believe you will be in Baishi Gao Ta's work won't be bad, but... I'm not that kind of person. Haha, I'm very kind, well, I'm a very kind person, haha."
At the end of the sentence, the man in black robe laughed, but there was not much laughter in his voice.
After laughing, the man in black robe showed a somewhat profound look: "I'm leaving. I'm going to plan my remaining time carefully. After all, I've been delayed for too long. And before I leave, I want to give you a advice."
"Huh? You say."
The man in black robe said: "You are a smart person, there is no doubt about it. From my observation, and from what you said before, you seem to be ready to figure out everything that happens around you. This is very Yes, it is this that makes you different. But I must say, sometimes... Properly pretending not to be so smart is the real smart thing."
The man in black robe raised his head and rolled his eyes, as if recalling something, a look of fear flashed across his face: "Some... things, some... taboos cannot be explored, otherwise there will be unbearable costs, and That’s the price I bear.”
The man in black robe looked at Richard again and took a deep breath: "Anyway, you... be more careful..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the man in black robe twisted, and then disappeared into the cabin like smoke.
Richard stood there without moving, his eyes flashing.
After half a ring, Ring No. 1 is activated, "Pierce's Nerve Sensitivity Technique" is released, and the perception is enhanced. After completely confirming that the man in black robe had left, Richard let out a long breath.
His body relaxed slightly, Richard put away the crystal skull he had been holding in his right hand, and walked to the chair.
With a "squeak" sound, Richard opened a long thin wooden board under the chair and began to take out pieces of white jade with complicated magic patterns carved out piece by piece. Then he went to every corner and took out more pieces of white jade.
These white jade pieces were quietly carved and placed before. The power is not that amazing, but the placement, direction and angle of the burst of power have all been carefully calculated to ensure that the center is extremely destructive. Therefore, as long as it is used properly, it can also bring great surprises to powerful people.
This is used to guard against the men in black robes. But in the end, the words of the man in black robe convinced Richard that the other party had really left, so these arrangements were no longer necessary. It was better to put them away and carry them with him, so that he might use them against another enemy one day.
After putting away the white jade pieces, Richard sat on the chair and glanced at Pandora on the bed. He found that the other party was still asleep, having some sweet dream, and was clicking his lips.
Withdrawing his gaze, Richard began to think carefully about what the man in black robe said, and said to himself for a while: "White stone tower? Revenge? Secret? Taboo? Well, it's getting more and more interesting..."
