Its daybreak.
A small wind blew in Baishi City, and Richard heard the "dong dong dong" sound of the courtyard door, but it didn't sound like it was blown by the wind, and someone knocked on the door.
Richard raised his eyebrows, walked out, opened the courtyard door, and saw a muscular man standing outside.
Richard knew the other party. When he entrusted Bucky to dispose of Gutas' body, Bucky brought him along with him.
If I remember correctly, the other party was a member of the "Brotherhood of Steel" to which Bucky belonged.
Regarding the "Brotherhood of Steel", Richard originally thought it was a small White Rock City gang. After getting to know more about it, he discovered that this organization was not ordinary.
The Brotherhood of Steel and the Whitestone Tower Wizards are incomparable, but in the underground world of ordinary people without extraordinary power, they have been entrenched for decades, and their tentacles of influence extend to various industries in Whitestone City, making them a giant. .
The Brotherhood of Steel would be even more powerful if it weren't for the constant challenge from several emerging gang organizations. In fact, the small place of Baishi City can no longer fully accommodate the other party - the other party has established various relationship networks in many other places outside of Baishi City.
Of course, no matter what, in the eyes of wizards and sorcerer forces with extraordinary power, the Brotherhood of Steel is just a clown, an ant that can be crushed to death at any time.
But Richard could understand that the ant of the Brotherhood of Steel was no ordinary ant. It could do things that many wizards could not do with the help of the huge network of relationships established by the other party.
In the past month, there have been three missing books for studying the secrets of the White Stone Tower and the Black Spirit King. One of them was found with the help of the other party, and the other was found in the hands of a girl student in the White Stone Tower Library. of.
At present, Richard has collected most of the books on the Black Spirit Empire that are needed for the secrets of the White Stone Tower and the Black Spirit King, except for the last book with the palindrome number 363 that has not been collected.
The reason for this is simple: if you perform Licrel number verification on numbers within 40, you can get 11 palindrome numbers—11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 121, 363 .
Most of these 11 palindrome numbers correspond to at least two numbers within 40, except for the last palindrome number 363, which can only be matched by the only number, which is -39.
For this reason, Richard spent a lot of money to entrust the "Brotherhood of Steel" to pay attention to the Black Spirit Empire book numbered 39. Now that someone from the other party has appeared, there may be news.
Richard looked at the person who came, raised his eyebrows and said: "Elai, right? What's the matter? Is it something that was entrusted to your gang before? Do you have any clues?"
"Indeed." The muscular man named Erai nodded and said, "We found the book you wanted from a businessman in a place outside White Rock City, and bought it at a considerable price. "
"Where are you now?"
"We are still on the road now, and we will arrive at Baishi City in about three days." Earley said, "I am here this time because the boss wants to inform you that the delivery will be made at the place where we last met in three days, and the things will be handed over to you. This will be considered as completing your original commission. Of course, you must also prepare the final payment."
"No problem." Richard nodded, thoughts racing in his mind, and he was quite surprised: He didn't expect the "Brotherhood of Steel" to be so powerful. Although it took a long time, he really found the last book he needed. . It seems that if there is an opportunity, we can have more contact with each other.
"By the way, the books and everything are safe, right? No one is watching them, right? There won't be any mistakes on the way back, right?" Richard asked.
"Don't worry about this. We are always careful. Since we have accepted your entrustment, we will definitely put the things in your hands. Our credibility will be guaranteed. Even if something goes wrong, we will try our best to remedy it. At least... I will never let trouble get to you."
"That's good." Richard responded.
"Then I'll see you in three days." Eli said, walking towards the street. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he turned around and asked, "Um, by the way, there is actually one thing I'm curious about. You and Bucky..."
"Um?"
"Um, it's nothing." Erai thought of something, waved his hand, and walked away quickly.
Richard looked at the other person's back, blinked his eyes, shook his head, turned around and walked into the door.
"Whoops!"
A gust of wind blew dust towards the door.
"Squeak!"
Richard closed the door in time to keep the dust out. However... there are still fine pieces of gravel blowing in through the cracks in the door...
Richard looked at the dust stained on the corners of his clothes and frowned slightly: "You are so difficult to deal with, you can't escape?"
The next moment, Richard gently shook off the dust and walked into the laboratory.
…
Later that day, in an unknown room, Solmen and Mu Keni were sitting.
Mu Keni held a small papyrus scroll rolled up like chopsticks in her hand. She looked at Solmen and asked, "What's going on?"
"This?" Suomen glanced at the scroll in Mu Keni's hand and said calmly, "It's nothing."
"It's nothing? Didn't you say that you have been guarding against the secret of the Black Spirit King being revealed? Now there are very critical books related to secrets that have been sent to White Rock City. Silver Ring can't help it. You personally urged us to take action and asked us to cut off things and destroy them, but you just didn't take it seriously
This isn't like you, Solmen! You should be very active in the organization's affairs and never let others catch your loopholes. Why do you need me to remind you of the importance of this matter? "
"Ha." Suomen looked at Mu Keni and said, "Of course I know the importance of this matter. Even if I really don't know, the silver ring is alarmed, so I should understand."
"Then you are still sitting like this, not ready to take action? Just now you seemed to be preparing to deal with target No. 18, right? It doesn't matter if the target is delayed, but it will be bad when this book reaches White Rock City." Mu Keni road.
"No." Suomen shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily bad when this book reaches White Rock City—in fact, I did it on purpose."
"Um?"
"White Rock City is not a simple place. There are many people here who know the secret of the Black Spirit King to some extent, and some of them are very interested in this secret. If we intercept a book now and prevent them from decrypting it, there will naturally be nothing problem, but I want to solve it more thoroughly.
The books will arrive at White Rock City in about two to three days. I really want to see whose hands these books will pass through. When the time comes, find one, kill one, and kill them all. Then, the secret of the Black Spirit King will basically never be solved. By the way, our long-term mission to White Rock City will be almost completed. "
"Is this so..." Mu Keni was all thinking.
"But if this is the case..." Mu Keni thought of something and said, "But if this is the case, what will happen to the Silver Ring? You must know that this Silver Ring is not the former Director Thor.
We were transferred to the east coast, and we were managed by new silver rings who had no friendship with us. Are you going against his wishes and not afraid of being targeted later? "
