In the cellar.
"run!"
Post shouted, and Richard immediately ran forward quickly. However, because he was carrying a heavy bomb vest and his figure was a little clumsy, it took him a while to cross the many white lines and debris on the ground. With a "pop" sound, he stabbed the poison-quenching magic pattern dagger into the doll in the corner.
After looking at it, Post looked slightly dissatisfied. He called Richard back to his original position and said: "It's not enough for you. You have to be faster, faster, very fast. Only to a certain extent can you do it." Only by passing Master Gu Luo's test can you become his student, understand! Get ready, do it all over again, and run with all your strength!"
"run!"
"Ta-ta-ta... poof!"
"No, no, although it's a little faster than last time, it's not enough. You have to be faster! Do you understand faster? Try it again!"
"run!"
"Ta-ta-ta... poof!"
"Well, it's indeed a little faster, but there's still room for improvement. Keep going."
"run!"
"Da da da... poof!"
"Not bad, keep working hard, you will do better!"
…
Richard patiently trained with Post in the cellar for three days. According to Post's expectations, he became stronger little by little and became able to quickly and skillfully climb over many obstacles, accurately stabbing the heart of the puppet in the corner with the poison-quenching magic pattern dagger.
Post nodded with satisfaction and showed a slightly cold smile.
…
Three days later, in the evening.
With a "squeak", the door of the wooden building opened, and Post led Richard out and walked straight in one direction.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at a neglected corner of the gathering place.
There is a three-story wooden building here, which looks quite impressive. But if you look carefully, you will find that due to disrepair, the third floor of the wooden building has completely collapsed, and the remaining two floors are also crumbling under the night wind, making it a completely dangerous building.
Regardless of this, Post led Richard into the wooden building. He walked to the deepest part of the wooden building and lifted up a wooden board to reveal a downward passage. I don't know if it is due to habit. The construction here seems to be mostly... There are secret underground spaces.
Post was not in a hurry to go down, he stood still and looked at Richard.
Richard was wearing an apprentice robe from a jungle hut. Under the robe was a vest covered with crystal plates. The hand in his sleeve was holding a dagger, looking like a typical assassin.
Post looked at Richard for a few times, narrowed his eyes, took out a bottle of purple potion from his pocket, handed it to Richard, and ordered: "Drink!"
"What is this?" Richard asked.
"Don't ask so many questions, just drink it, it's good for you!" Pust said. Seeing that Richard was still hesitating, his face instantly dropped, "What, you are disobedient? Boy, let me tell you, although these three God, you do cooperate with me, but I know very well what you are thinking, but I am too lazy to care!
I only care about you, whether you can fulfill my request and whether you will listen to me! If you are obedient, everything is easy to say, and I will definitely benefit you! If you don't obey me, hum, I will destroy you now! "
After hearing this, Richard's body trembled, as if he was a little scared, and he quickly said: "I am obedient, I will drink." As he spoke, he poured the potion into his mouth, tilted his hand, and the potion disappeared instantly, followed by a "gudong" sound. As if swallowed into the belly.
Post did not believe it easily and said, "Open your mouth!"
"Um?"
"I want you to open your mouth!"
"Ah-" Richard opened his mouth.
"Lift your tongue!"
"Ah-" Richard raised his tongue.
Seeing that there was no medicine left in his mouth, Post's frown did not relax. He stepped forward and searched Richard's body to make sure there was nothing strange at all, and then his expression slowly relaxed.
"Snapped!"
Post patted Richard's shoulder lightly, as if to encourage him: "Boy, maybe I'm a little strict on you, but this is all for your own good. Don't think too much about it. The medicine just now has some harmful effects on your body." The strengthening effect will take effect quickly, allowing you to run faster and be stronger.
After a while, you follow me underground. After I give you a signal, you take advantage of the effect of the medicine and use the dagger to attack the figure in the corner as you were trained. Whether you succeed or not, there are benefits for you, you know? ! "
"Uh, yes."
"Very good, good boy!" Post gave a rare smile, then returned to his poker face and led Richard down the aisle.
Ten meters deep into the ground, Richard's feet touched the ground. Looking around, he saw that there was a corridor. The two walls of the corridor were inlaid with several irregular fluorescent stones, emitting a weak light and barely illuminating it.
Seven or eight meters in front, a rusty iron door stood. It was unknown what was behind the door.
Post stepped forward, knocked on the door very carefully, and said carefully: "Hello, Master Guluo, I am Quentin, the wizard at the gathering place. We have communicated before. Do you still remember me? ?"
There was no answer from inside the door, just a "crash" sound, as if something had been knocked over.
Pust's expression tightened and he became more careful, and said softly: "That's it, Master Guluo, the people in our gathering place think that you usually have a lot of things to do, and you should have a student to help you deal with the trivial matters. chores. So, I brought a student this time.”
"Student? For me?" At this time, a voice finally came out from the iron door. It was extremely hoarse. It sounded like two rough stones rubbing together, and the tone was even more bitter and mean, with indescribable disgust and disgust. Resentment, "When did you feel so good? Do you want me, an old woman, to die? Send students away? I think what you sent me is poison! Get out, get out, I don't need it!"
Pust opened and closed his lips a few times, but did not leave, insisting on persuading: "Master Guluo, please don't get excited, we really mean well. I guarantee that the students we choose will satisfy you. Having said that, Your voice has become hoarse than before, and you really need someone to take care of you."
"..." There was a long silence and no response.
"If you don't speak, then I will assume that you agree, Master Guluo?" Pust said.
"..." There was still a long silence and no reply.
"Then I let the students in?" Pust tried, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the iron door. He didn't sense any abnormal mana fluctuations inside the door. He immediately turned his head to look at Richard and forcefully opened it. wave.
Richard quickly rushed into the door very cooperatively.
The space inside the door is large, like a cave, and the light is even weaker than outside the door. Only the outlines of some objects can be vaguely seen, including tables, chairs, benches, wooden frames, and other unknown things. Richard saw a figure in the corner, wearing a heavy robe, and ran over quickly.
As a result, just halfway through, the figure in the corner noticed something and made a sharp voice: "Who are you and what are you holding in your hand?"
"Damn it, you want to kill me! Go to hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the corner waved, and a pale white light appeared, hitting Richard's body accurately.
