"What?" Seeing Angel stop, Richard raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't want to go back, but you want to stay here?" This was obviously a pun.
Angel shook her head in panic: "No... no."
"Then why don't you leave?"
"I..." Angel hesitated and said with some embarrassment: "I have never been to this cemetery, so... So I don't know how to walk back to White Rock Tower Academy. Well... can you send me back? Really? I...I promise, after you send me back, I will never look for you again."
Richard: "..." Suddenly I felt that if it was Wuxie who defeated Tianzhen, then now it was Lublind who had defeated everything.
Seeing that Richard didn't speak for a long time, Angel might have thought that her suggestion was a little too much, so she said weakly: "Then you don't want to send me back, but you can show me the way."
Richard took a deep breath to calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart, pointed forward, and said to Angel, "Go straight along this road, turn left at the first intersection, and turn left at the second intersection. Turn left, turn right at the third intersection, and turn right again at the fourth intersection.
Then keep walking until you encounter a tavern called 'Salt and Fire'. Go there and turn left. Go to the second intersection and turn right. Go all the way to the end, which is the main entrance of White Rock Tower Academy. Remember? "
Angel's eyes twinkled.
Richard had no choice but to repeat it and asked again: "Did you remember this time?"
"Remember... remember..." Angel said in a voice softer than a mosquito.
"That's good." Richard waved his hand, "Let's go."
"Uh..." Angel walked back three times, walked out of the cemetery, and disappeared into the distance.
…
Watching Angel leave, Richard stepped forward to return to the laboratory. After all, there were several new Black Spirit Empire books he had just obtained in the space iron ring waiting to be studied.
As a result, after taking a few steps, I suddenly heard a faint voice coming from in front of a tombstone in the distance.
"Um?"
Richard raised his eyebrows and walked over.
As he walked closer, Richard saw a fat man who looked like a short winter melon, squatting in front of a tombstone, his body trembling with fat and muttering something in a low voice.
If not Alex, who else could it be
this…
Richard was confused: What is the other party doing here
Thinking about this problem, Richard coughed lightly at the right time: "Cough!"
"ah!"
Alex was facing the tombstone. When he heard Richard's cough, he jumped up in fright. He turned around slowly with a pale face and looked at Richard. His eyes flashed three times and he held it in for a while. Say: "It's you!"
"It's me." Richard said.
"Why are you here?"
"I would rather return this question to you - why are you here?" Richard asked, "You are a businessman and you don't do business well. Why are you going to the cemetery? It's not because business has not been very good recently and you are preparing to dig a grave. , steal the funeral objects of the deceased and sell them, right
Or are you planning to take away the bones of the deceased and sell them to some evil wizards on the black market to use them as casting materials for some evil spells? As far as I know, these two things are strictly prohibited by White Rock Tower, right? "
"Me!" Alex's eyes widened and the flesh on his face swayed as he said, "Where did you think you were! I just... just came to pay homage to my family's ancestors, okay?!"
"Worship our ancestors? In the middle of the night?"
"..." Alex was silent, and after a while, he hesitated, "I don't want to live up to my expectations. I don't want others to know that I am a descendant of my ancestors, and I'm afraid of embarrassing them, so I chose to worship in the middle of the night."
"Is your ancestor a big shot?" Richard asked.
This question seemed to stimulate Alex, who said loudly: "Of course my ancestor was a big shot. No, he is not a big shot, but a big shot, a legendary figure!"
"Really?" Richard was slightly curious, "Then who is he? A king? A general? The leader of a wizard organization? The man behind a powerful consortium?"
"..." Alex was silent again, "He is a captain."
"Captain? Uh, captain..." Richard said.
Alex jumped to his feet and shouted: "Don't underestimate the captain! My ancestor, although he was a captain, was a great captain and did many great things in his life. The last time he went to sea, he experienced various disasters and led many He helped all the crew members return safely. But he himself died of overwork.
Even now, my ancestors are not so famous. A long time ago, I heard my parents and grandfather say that people everywhere sang poems praising the deeds of my ancestors. This is the pride of my entire Alex family! "
"Uh, okay." Richard said doubtfully and looked at Alex, "But even so, it's a bit weird for you to worship your ancestors now, right? This is not a day dedicated to worshiping the dead. You wouldn't be Because you have done something wrong and feel guilty, why don’t you come to seek comfort from your ancestors?”
Alex seemed to have been right, his eyes widened, but he refused to admit it: "No way! How could it be! Don't talk nonsense about things that don't happen! I just suddenly missed my dead parents, so... "
"So... what does this have to do with you worshiping the graves of your ancestors?"
"I..." Alex was stuck for a moment, and it took him a long time to say, "I'm so sad, can't I look in the wrong place? Besides, I want my parents. I want to pay homage to my parents' parents' parents... Parents are also very reasonable. ?!"
"Is it reasonable?"
"Isn't it reasonable?!"
"Uh, whatever you want, you can continue to worship, I'm leaving first." Richard waved his hand, not wanting to waste time with Alex on this issue, casually glanced at the tombstone where Alex was worshiping, turned around and left. Alex whispered again...
…
"Da da da… "
Stepping to the edge of the cemetery, Richard was about to walk in the direction of the laboratory when he suddenly saw the figure of a girl groping, hesitating, and tentatively walking towards the cemetery.
If not Angel, who else could it be? !
this!
The direction Angel left the cemetery was not in this direction at all. The other party actually walked around in a big circle and came back. Is this... getting lost, or getting lost, or getting lost
Richard frowned and walked over to stop Angel.
Angel was startled and looked at Richard with wide eyes, a bit like looking at a stalker.
Richard asked, "Didn't you realize that you were going the wrong way?"
"Ah?!" Angel was surprised, "How is that possible? I left just as you said before."
"What I said before, repeat it to me."
"This..." Angel said weakly, "It seems, should, maybe, probably... keep going forward, turn left at the first intersection, turn left at the second intersection, and turn left at the third intersection. Turn left and turn right at the fourth intersection... "
As soon as he heard this, Richard knew that there was no need to listen further, because just this first sentence made a mistake. It was strange that he could go right.
