Darkness, total darkness.
I don't know how long the darkness lasted, but suddenly a group of faint blue flames appeared, illuminating the huge space.
Under the light of the faint blue flame, Pandora opened her big eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment around her. She looked at Richard and asked aloud: "Where is this?"
"Inside the suitcase." Richard said.
"Is it the black box you just saw?" Pandora asked.
"Yes." Richard gave a definite answer.
Pandora's eyes opened even wider, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Then... this box is big enough!"
"This..." Richard didn't know how to explain to Pandora. After all, things like space props are really complicated. He was still guessing and groping about some of the principles. Even if he explained it to Pandora, she might not understand it either. The next moment, he simply patted Pandora's head, without saying anything, and pulled Pandora towards the palace.
"Da da da… "
Footsteps sounded, and as soon as Richard walked into the palace door, he heard the voice of the golden mask inside: "Hey, hey, hey, boy, are you back? Sure enough, you are back! Ha, I knew you would come back! Come here, come here, get closer to me and talk to me!"
When Pandora heard the voice of the golden mask, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked wary.
Richard noticed it and comforted Pandora: "Don't worry, the other party is just a sealed, poor soul, there is no threat."
"Scared—" Pandora seemed to understand, and her expression softened.
Richard looked at it, exhaled slowly, controlled the "phosphorus candle" in his hand to float in mid-air, illuminated the entire hall, and walked towards the golden mask.
"Da da da… "
Richard walked close to the golden mask. Without much hesitation, he took out the metal ball and asked to the golden mask: "What is this? Do you know? Aren't you bored and want to chat? Then let's chat." Let’s talk about this.”
"This..." Golden Mask said, "This, I really don't know what it is." It was very simple and direct, and it was enough to talk to death in one sentence.
Richard: "..."
Golden Mask: "..."
After a brief silence, Golden Mask spoke nervously and tried to explain: "You have to believe me, I'm not lying. I... I really don't know what this is or what its use is."
"Aren't you the palace spirit of this palace? Aren't you some kind of guardian? Don't you know? This metal ball was taken from this palace." Richard made no secret of his skepticism.
The golden mask called Qu: "I am indeed a guardian, I am indeed a palace spirit, but this identity is clearly stated. I am just a gatekeeper. Just like a soldier guarding the door of a treasure house, do you think a soldier will know about the treasure house? What’s the treasure inside?”
"Absolutely don't know!" Golden Mask asked and answered himself, "So, I didn't lie to you, I have no idea what the metal ball in your hand is."
Richard: "..."
After another brief silence, Richard turned around and left without ceremony.
The golden mask cried out pitifully from behind: "Hey, don't do this, don't do this to me! Although I don't know what the metal ball in your hand is, but we can talk about other things, such as the weather. By the way, What is the weather outside today? Is it sunny? Is it windy? Hey, hey... "
Richard ignored the golden mask and kept walking away.
When he reached the door, Richard stopped for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Pandora squatting on the ground, flipping through the boxes lined up. After opening a box and discovering that it was filled with golden coins, Pandora's eyes widened and she subconsciously reached out to grab the gold coins. Then I thought of something and took it back cautiously.
Her lips pursed and her brows furrowed. Pandora's heartbeat finally defeated her caution. She reached out her hand again, grabbed a gold coin, held it close, and looked at it with wide eyes. After looking at it for a long time, he put it into his mouth and bit down hard to test whether it was true or false.
When Richard saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and shouted to Pandora: "Let's go."
"Oh." Pandora responded, but her feet didn't move at all. Her big eyes flickered, and she grabbed another gold coin and kept sending it to her mouth, biting off one after another.
"Kakakaka..."
Really, really, really, it’s all true!
Pandora's eyes widened as she looked at the gold coins in the box, feeling as if she was struck by happiness.
When Richard saw Pandora's look, he understood: Is this the dragon tribe's unique tendency to collect shiny things? Has it exploded
In this case…
All right!
Richard spoke up and said to Pandora: "How about you stay here for a while, I'll leave to do something and come back to pick you up later?"
Richard asked. Before Pandora expressed her position, the golden mask deep in the palace shouted loudly: "Good, good, very good, no problem at all! Leave quickly and leave this cute little girl here." Just stay with me here and have a nice chat with me."
Richard ignored the noise of the golden mask and looked at Pandora. When he saw Pandora nodding, he said, "Okay then."
After speaking, Richard walked towards the outside of the palace and stopped after taking a few steps. He glanced at Pandora, then at the Golden Mask, blinked his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to give some instructions, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he didn't know what to give.
No matter how you look at it, there won't be any problems if Pandora stays. The Golden Mask is not dangerous, and Pandora is very well-behaved, so...
Uh, okay.
In the end, Richard walked out without saying anything.
As soon as Richard walked out, Golden Mask eagerly greeted Pandora: "Hey, little girl, cute little girl, how old are you? What's your name? Hey, I'm here, take a look at me, yes, Here! Come here, come closer and talk to me."
At this time, the Golden Mask is like a bad guy who abducts children with lollipops. Of course, he is not a villain at all - he has no ability to do evil, and what he is seducing is not an ordinary little girl at all - this is the Golden Mask I found out later.
Amidst the continuous sounds of the Golden Mask, Pandora frowned and turned to look at the Golden Mask. She grabbed the gold coins in her hand and approached the Golden Mask.
The closer he walked, the louder the golden mask's voice became, constantly asking Pandora questions.
"Little girl, what is your name? What do you like? Can you sing? You..."
When faced with the Golden Mask's question, Pandora didn't answer at all and just continued to approach, which made the Golden Mask couldn't help but become confused.
"Well, little girl, what are you doing?"
Then came panic.
"Hey! What are you going to do?! Hey, hey!"
