"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, and Richard's spirit tightened instantly. He tilted his arm and drew out two staffs. One was a blood-red short staff, and the other was a black energy-storage short staff, one on the left and one on the right. Separately held by hands, ready for battle.
However, what worried Richard most did not happen: the iron door was not opened, and the person who knocked on the door did not break in directly.
After knocking for a while, there was no response. The person outside the door spoke up and took the initiative to explain his purpose. He sounded slightly nervous: "Um... Master Guluo, are you okay? I... I am Philip, the first-level wizard at the gathering place. , I just felt some vibrations in your area nearby, and there were abnormal mana fluctuations coming out. I don’t know what happened, and I was afraid that you were in danger, so I came over to have a look. Are you... are you okay? "
After hearing this, Richard understood the reason for the appearance of the other party. It seemed that he was not the fourth person with ulterior motives. This would be much easier to handle. At least there was a high chance that he would not have to fight.
With a "swipe", Richard put the short staff back into his sleeve. He recalled the first voice of the witch he killed. The next moment he controlled the vibration of his vocal cords and made an extremely hoarse voice, with a He said in a disgusted and angry tone: "I'm fine, get out!"
"Uh-" The wizard named Philip outside the door was obviously a little scared when he heard the voice. Richard could even hear the obvious sound of the other person's footsteps retreating, as if he quickly avoided the iron door.
However, the other party did not leave just like that. He seemed to still have some doubts and concerns, and asked again: "Well... Master Guluo, are you really okay? If something happens to you, or if you need anything, You must tell me. Maybe I can't help you, but I can ask the others to help."
"I said no!" Richard continued hoarsely, "It was just an experiment I did that went wrong. You don't need to worry about it. Now get out of here and don't bother me. Do you understand me?!"
"But... but..." Wizard Philip still did not leave, "But Master Guluo, I always feel that you are fine. Your voice sounds a little weird. Although I can't tell what is going on, but It always makes me feel bad..."
After hearing this, Richard frowned instantly.
Have a problem with the sound
This is really not accurate.
After all, Post mentioned before that the voice imitated by the wizard is slightly different from the real Guluo's voice. And since he had never heard Gu Luo's real voice, it was naturally impossible to imitate it with a 100% similarity.
If there is really a problem with the sound, then the wizard Philip may have some suspicions. If it is not handled well and the other party's suspicions are deepened, there may be no consequences. At least, it would be difficult for him to stay in this underground space with peace of mind, looking for the so-called key to the Holy Land.
What to do
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Richard's mind, and after a very short time, Richard made a decision.
Without any hesitation, Richard quickly moved his hands, first throwing the two corpses on the ground in the underground space into the Garden of Eden, then quietly cleaning up the blood stains and traces of spell battles, and finally simply arranged the underground space.
At this time, Philip outside the door heard no sound for a long time, and couldn't help but said again: "Master Guluo, Master Guluo? You..."
"What are you!" Richard said after finishing his work, and shouted to Philip in a somewhat annoyed voice, "Did you really not understand, or were you pretending that you didn't understand? I told you to get out of here. Don’t you understand yet?”
"But I care about you, Master Guluo..."
"Care? Are you sure you care? Humph, you care so much about my well-being, you probably have other motives, right? Why, the others are just looking forward to my death, but you can't wait to do it yourself? That's good , come in, let’s have a good talk face to face!”
"Master Guluo, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just..." Philip, the wizard outside the door, was a little panicked.
"It's just nothing!" Richard said repeatedly without giving the other party a chance to introduce him, "Either you come in, or you get out, wasting my time and making me very angry, understand?! Or, you You want to come in, but I’m sorry, do you need me to invite you personally?”
"This!" Philip outside the door was obviously more panicked.
At this time, Richard took out a special solvent from the space iron ring and began to smear it on his face to remove some of the special paint painted on it to disguise his identity. He quickly changed back to his true self, which was completely different from when he entered the jungle hut, a gathering place, ensuring that no one would recognize him.
Then, Richard took steps, deliberately making clear footsteps, towards the iron door, and then opened the door with a "swipe" sound.
The short and fat wizard Philip outside the door was startled. He couldn't help but stepped back, his eyes widened, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Master Guluo, Master Guluo, I was wrong, I... Huh?"
The pudgy wizard saw that Richard was not the Gu Luo he imagined. He couldn't help but be startled. He blinked hard and showed a suspicious look: "You are?"
"I am Mr. Gu Luo's student." Richard spoke up, his tone slightly cold.
"Are you a student of Master Gu Luo?" The other party was stunned after hearing this, "Then why have I never seen you before?"
"Because I have been following Teacher Gu Luo to learn the most profound knowledge, and I also have to help Teacher Gu Luo handle some trivial matters. I have almost never left here. It is normal that you have not seen me, but I have seen you a few times.
After hearing this, Philip was full of suspicion, but he could not refute Richard's words. He could only continue to look at Richard, and after a while he asked aloud: "Then what are you doing out here?"
"Of course I invite you." Richard said, his tone getting colder. "Didn't you hear what Teacher Gu Luo said? He invited you in. But you stayed outside and didn't go in. The teacher got angry and asked me to come out and invite you in person. You, let’s have a good talk with you.”
When it came to the last two words, Richard quietly increased his tone.
"This!" Philip couldn't help but tremble, suddenly realizing that he was still in a "crisis". To be honest, the reason why he came here to investigate was mainly out of curiosity and doubt. Now that Gu Luo has issued an invitation, even if he is beaten to death, he dare not accept the invitation and enter Gu Luo's secret room alone. He had heard that several wizards had entered Gu Luo's secret room alone before and never came out again.
Raising his head, Philip glanced at Richard and felt that Richard's expression seemed very similar to asking him to enter the secret room. Looking past Richard, he looked inside through the open iron door. In the dim light, he could barely see a rickety figure with his back to him, standing busy in front of a table.
I don't know why, but after seeing him for a long time, Philip couldn't help but have a hallucination: it seemed that the next moment, the figure in the secret room would turn around and personally capture him into the secret room, and Richard would be very cooperative and lock him up. The iron gate made it impossible for him to escape.
Philip trembled, glanced at Richard, waved his hand quickly and said: "Forget it, forget it, Master Guluo will be fine, you... As his student, you must take good care of Master Guluo, I... I’m leaving first.”
As soon as the words were spoken, he took a step and walked away without any sloppiness. The anxious look is almost like having your butt burned on fire.
