After listening to Gro's words, Heidi and Nailid murmured a few words, looked over and said, "If this is true, then senior sister and I can work with you to help Mr. Richard."
"That's the best." Gro said with a grin, and suddenly felt that his whole body no longer had so much pain in his back. The correct way is that if one person is unlucky, it is called unlucky, and if a group of people is unlucky, it is normal, and the consequences are similar. Besides, if more people are affected, the work will be reduced accordingly, and it will indeed not be so tiring.
Nancy looked at Heidi at this time and said, "Are you sure you've thought about it? It's best to be cautious about this kind of thing." Although she didn't like Heidi and Nelide very much, in her opinion, It's enough to trick just one person, but dragging two more people into the trap is immoral.
Who knew, Heidi and Nelide were very determined, nodded vigorously and said: "Think about it, we are very happy if there is something we can do to help Mr. Richard."
"That's up to you." Nancy said nothing more.
At this time, a voice sounded behind her, saying: "Please, don't block the door so early in the morning, let me out."
Nancy turned around and saw a jungle hut wizard wearing a brown robe, with an ordinary and slightly mediocre temperament and an ordinary and slightly ugly appearance walking out. It was Teddy.
Seeing that the other party was a wizard, even if the other party was a bit ugly, Nancy did not dare to be rude. Besides, blocking the door was really inappropriate. She quickly moved out of the way and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Wizard, please."
"Um, it's okay." Teddy said and walked out the door. After walking a few meters, he suddenly stopped again and glanced at the strange combination of four people at the door - two students from the White Stone Tower and two from the jungle. Hut, frowning slightly.
"What's wrong with you four?" Teddy asked curiously. Afterwards, he reflected many times: As a human being, sometimes you really shouldn’t be too curious, because there will be a price for being too curious!
After hearing Teddy's question, Nancy and the other four did not hide it. After all, they were not shameless people. They said directly: "The four of us are waiting for Richard here and are ready to do him a favor."
"Help Richard?" Teddy's eyes flashed, his curiosity only getting worse, "What are you doing?"
"Dig the soil." Heidi said, repeating what Gro said before, "It's just to check some things underground, and the soil on the ground is dug up specially."
"What are you looking for?" Teddy asked.
"I heard from Mr. Richard that he seems to be looking for a place where the small village of Artis is located," said Grotto.
"The small village of Artis?" Teddy was stunned for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression, "Yes, he told me about this before, and also specifically looked for information. I didn't expect that he would be idle even when he arrived at Deep Blue Castle. But according to For his temperament, this is normal."
"Huh? Lord Wizard, do you know Mr. Richard?" Gro asked.
"Of course I do, I'm his friend." Teddy smiled.
"Then do you want to help?" After hearing Teddy's identity, Gro immediately extended the invitation "enthusiastically".
In Gro's view, wizards are a powerful labor force. With the other party joining them, the difficulty of work will definitely be greatly reduced. As for revenge, the other party shouldn't be so petty, well, no!
"Is this—" After hearing what Gro said, Teddy hesitated slightly and said, "It's not impossible to help together, but I want to ask, is this matter troublesome? I don't like trouble very much. Something?"
"This-" Groo rolled his eyes and spread his hands, "It may be a bit troublesome for us wizard apprentices, but for you, the wizard, it should be very simple."
"It makes sense." Teddy nodded, and the next moment he made a decision that he regretted countless times without hesitation: "In that case, I agree."
"I would like to thank you, Lord Wizard, on behalf of Lord Richard."
"fine!"
…
A few minutes later.
Richard walked out of the stone building, looked at Nancy and Gro, and said slightly apologetically: "There was a little delay, so I came out a little late. Now... huh?"
In the middle of speaking, Richard suddenly stopped. His eyes fell on Nancy, Gro, Heidi, Nellie and Teddy who had spontaneously formed a team. He was slightly startled and asked: "What's going on? There are so many people?"
"Well... everyone wants to help you." Nancy said.
"real?"
"Really." The group nodded.
"Then... okay, let's set off now." Richard shrugged. When it comes to things like helping, he is naturally open to anyone who comes. The more the better. If there are more people, the efficiency can be improved a lot. Originally, he thought he might only be able to clean one place today, but now it seems that if he works harder, he might be able to clean it. Two locations.
…
In this way, Richard led a team of five people out of the Deep Blue Castle and headed to the location that had been decided long ago to start digging.
After that, in the days before the exchange conference, Richard and a small team of people kept busy.
After constant efforts, the result is... nothing.
Well, nothing.
…
The day before the exchange conference was held, in the afternoon.
"Shashasha..."
There was a sound, and a total of six people, Richard, Gro, Nancy, Heidi, Nellie, and Teddy, showed their talents and spent a lot of effort to clear a piece of soil at a place outside Deep Blue Castle.
After looking at the gravel under the soil for a few times, Grotto looked at Richard and asked: "Your Excellency Richard, we still didn't find it this time, right?"
"Yes." Richard nodded and accepted the reality helplessly: after digging out seven locations, none of them matched.
"Then shall we continue?" Gro asked.
"Forget it, it will get dark soon, so let's stop here today. There will be an exchange meeting tomorrow, and I don't know how many days it will be held. Let's put this matter to an end first." Richard exhaled and said, "This paragraph Time is running out and everyone has helped me, and I am here to thank you all.”
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
"It should, it should."
The group responded, and while responding, Gro felt several unkind eyes falling on him.
Gro couldn't help but feel guilty, and felt aggrieved in his heart: Hey, didn't everyone help voluntarily, and they were very happy when they did it, so don't put all the blame on him! Besides, he is also a victim, and he has suffered a lot...
Thinking this, Grot heard footsteps approaching from behind him, and couldn't help but feel cold, thinking that someone was attacking him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the cat slave girl Heidi.
Heidi ignored him at all, looked at Richard, and asked: "Mr. Richard, will you participate in this exchange conference?"
"Is this..." Richard's eyes flashed after hearing Heidi's question.
According to Richard's true inner thoughts, he naturally did not want to participate in the exchange conference. When you have that time, you might as well keep digging in the soil and exploring the location. In this case, although the efficiency will be reduced a lot without the help of other people, it is still better than doing nothing.
However, having said that, he came to Deep Blue Castle this time in the name of participating in an exchange conference. If you don’t participate, it would be too weird and suspicious to continue digging in the soil and exploring the location in the eyes of others.
Therefore, you still need to participate in the exchange conference. As for the matter in Artis Village, you can only wait until the exchange conference is over before you find a way to continue.
With this thought in his mind, Richard looked at Heidi and replied loudly: "Of course I will participate."
"That's best, can you do me a little favor?"
"What?"
"When you attend the exchange conference, take me with you and let me sit behind you."
"Why?"
"Because I heard that there were too many people coming to this exchange conference, and the capacity of the venue was tested. It is specially stipulated that each wizard can only bring one student into the venue. So after my teacher brings the senior sister in alone, , you can’t take me anymore, and I don’t want to miss it, so I can only find someone else.” Heidi explained.
"Is that so? I haven't really understood the rules or anything, but are you sure this method is okay?" Richard asked, turning to look at Teddy for confirmation and asking, "Teddy, do you understand?"
Teddy said: "As far as I know, this method should be possible. As long as it is organized by a wizard, even if it is not a teacher-student relationship, a wizard can bring a wizard apprentice in."
"That's good." Richard nodded and looked at Heidi, "Then when the time comes, you can enter the venue together."
"Thank you, Mr. Richard."
"You're welcome. Compared to the help you've helped me these past few days, this is nothing." Richard said.
Gro frowned at this moment, looked at Nancy and asked doubtfully: "Hey, does it really have to be a wizard to bring a wizard apprentice? In this case, Teacher Macbeth can only bring you into the venue? If I want to enter, don’t I have to find another way?”
"No need." Nancy shook her head, "Our White Stone Tower is different from other wizard organizations and does not have such restrictions."
"Ah, why?" Grotto was puzzled.
"Stupid!" Nancy knocked Gro on the head with some hatred, "We are an organization that holds exchange conferences. Besides, we don't have many people now. They are all present, so we can't take up many seats. !”
"Oiou, that's it." Grotto covered his head and then understood.
"Okay, okay." Richard smoothed things over, stopping Nancy from continuing to ravage Gro. He looked at everyone present and said, "The exchange meeting will be held tomorrow. Let's have a good rest today. Now let's take advantage of the weather. It’s not dark yet, let’s go back together.”
"Uh, okay." The group nodded.
Then, under the leadership of Richard, the group returned towards the Deep Blue Castle.
