Another side.
The stone building where Richard lived temporarily was on the fourth floor, in a slightly dirty room.
Wizard Teddy was lying on the bed, tossing and turning like a flesh worm, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"brush!"
After a long time, wizard Teddy couldn't help but sit up from the bed. He rubbed his neck, his shoulders, and his arms, grinning and gnashing his teeth.
"Hateful Richard, I treat you as a friend, but you use me like an animal! We obviously work together, and those few brats have an easy time, but you use me to death, even if I am a wizard, this is... It's too much! Although you gave me so many crystal coins and potions, I can't be easily bribed with these mundane things. When this exchange meeting is over, return to the gathering place and see if I don't talk to you properly. talk."
Wizard Teddy muttered, feeling really uncomfortable, slipped out of bed, walked to the bed, opened a suitcase, and took out a glass tube from inside.
The glass tube contained a light red potion. Wizard Teddy looked at it for a while, hesitated, and finally pulled out the stopper and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking it, wizard Teddy felt warm all over, and most of his fatigue disappeared immediately.
"Not bad, not bad." Tutting his tongue, wizard Teddy sighed, "So this potion is so effective. If I knew about it, I would have used it a long time ago. It seems that I have to ask Richard for more if I have the chance."
After saying that, Teddy was about to go back to bed and continue sleeping when there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Who?"
"Teddy, it's me, Ursra."
"Uzra?" After hearing this, Teddy's eyes flashed, he walked quickly to the door, opened the door with a creak, and saw a wizard about 1.6 meters tall standing outside the door.
The other party is a member of the Jungle Lodge, but he is not from the Dark Forest Gathering Area, nor from the Green Wind Gathering Area. He is a wizard from another gathering place called the Blue Lake deep in the Witch Forest.
When Teddy was still a wizard's apprentice, he had known each other and had a very good relationship, but they separated after becoming a wizard. The two of them were in contact with each other on weekdays. Unexpectedly, the other party came to this exchange conference and found him.
"It's you!" Teddy was a little surprised when he saw the other person, and hurriedly greeted him, "Come in and sit down."
"No, it's okay, you better come out." Ursra said with a smile.
"What?" Teddy wondered.
"Many of us have found a place in Deep Blue Castle to get together, and you are the only one missing."
"I'm the only one missing? Who else?"
"Tuco, Hall, Genna, Dulcy, and Valentin." Ursra said a list of names quickly, "They are all the people who joined the jungle hut together."
"That's right." Ursra suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he said teasingly, "I forgot to remind you, there is Grace in it."
"Grace?" Teddy looked confused.
"Stop pretending!" Ursra lightly punched Teddy's chest and said, "We all know that you liked her back then."
"Nonsense!" Teddy glared.
"Okay, okay, just think I'm talking nonsense, but there's no problem in meeting each other. I finally took advantage of this exchange conference to have the opportunity to get together and communicate." Ursla said, "Don't say you don't want to Go, if you don’t want to go, just admit that you really like Grace, it won’t save your face!”
"I-" Teddy was speechless and waved his hand helplessly for a moment, "I'm afraid of you!"
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the door and left the stone building with Ursra.
…
The stone building has three floors.
Richard stood in front of the window, watching Teddy and the others walk out of the stone building. He looked at the rest of the Deep Blue Castle and could see that many corners were busy.
In the past few days, while he and Gro and his team were digging in the soil, more and more wizard organizations rushed to Deep Blue Castle, causing the number of people in Deep Blue Castle to surge.
On the eve of the exchange conference held here, basically everyone who could make it arrived. A rough estimate is that about 35% to 45% of the wizards on the entire east coast gathered here. This is an unprecedented grand occasion. Compared with the previous Shiraishi The East Coast Exchange held at the Tower was several levels better.
And this also leads to a situation, that is: many wizards know each other, and they don't have the opportunity to meet each other. After the exchange meeting, it is rare to communicate with each other.
Therefore, in the past few days, the atmosphere in Shenlan Castle has become more and more lively, and everyone is having fun without any tension. How can you tell that what is about to be discussed is a major event that threatens the entire East Coast
In fact, in a sense, this can also explain the thoughts of most wizards.
In the opinion of most wizards, the crazy wizard organization that White Stone Tower talks about may exist, but it is obviously exaggerated. Their participation in the exchange meeting was just to show off to White Stone Tower and Deep Blue Castle and go through the motions. They really didn't think the matter was so critical.
After all, there are countless wizards on the entire east coast, and there are many "monsters" with exaggerated strength hidden among them. If any organization really wants to challenge the entire east coast, and is trying to restore the Black Spirit Empire, it is completely reckless.
So, this must be a joke, it must be a mistake, don’t worry at all!
In this regard, Richard had a completely different idea.
He had personally seen White Rock City destroyed by a meteorite, and did not think the propaganda about White Rock Tower was fictitious or exaggerated.
However, it is one thing to believe, and another thing not to care.
For him, it has nothing to do with what the White Stone Tower is like, and it has nothing to do with him whether there is some crazy wizard organization challenging the entire east coast.
His sense of responsibility and justice has never been very strong, and he doesn't feel qualified to be a savior, so he doesn't want to pay attention to these things at all. What he currently cares about is only to unlock the final secret of the Black Spirit King, understand the history that once disappeared, and then understand a small fragment of the entire world.
Now, almost half of the suspicious locations in the small village of Artis have been ruled out. When the exchange conference is over, he should be able to find out if he finds an opportunity to stay here for another ten days or so.
Then we can dig out the last treasure of the Black Spirit King and figure everything out.
After figuring everything out, he could take Pandora and leave the east coast, avoid all troubles, and concentrate on studying things.
Thinking like this, Richard looked at the night outside by the window and murmured: "The exchange conference, there shouldn't be any problems, right? Well, I hope not."
…
"I hope there won't be any problems at the exchange meeting tomorrow."
Something similar was said by another person in the dark.
In a corner of Deep Blue Castle, on top of a tall stone tower, a person sat on the edge. His feet were dangling outside the wall, but his body was sitting upright, wearing a white shirt and holding a large bowl of marmalade in his hand.
"Suck, gulp!"
He scooped a large spoonful of marmalade into his mouth and swallowed it hard. Macbeth frowned.
"It doesn't taste very good. It seems that there is something wrong with what I made. I really don't have talent. Alas. After the exchange conference, I will find time to learn cooking skills. After all, I don't have long to live, so I can't treat you too badly. Only your own mouth is good."
Macbeth spoke, holding marmalade and looking at the rest of Deep Blue Castle. Look at the busy corners, look at the cold corners, look at the bright corners, look at the dark corners.
After watching for a while, Macbeth slowly said: "I really hope there won't be any problems at the exchange meeting tomorrow, otherwise I will really have a headache. After all, my body will shorten a corresponding part of its lifespan once it fights. I still want to know more." Live a while and eat more marmalade."
"Ahem!" Macbeth suddenly coughed lightly, his face turned frighteningly white.
After the coughing ended, Macbeth's face tightened, as if he was enduring some pain.
After a moment, his expression relaxed, as if the pain was relieved, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Haha, by the way, am I stupid? What should I worry about here alone? Deep Blue Castle has gathered almost half of the wizards on the east coast. What can happen? Something happened? Even if something happens, it's not something I can stop. Besides, the White Stone Tower doesn't belong to me alone, do I need to worry about it? Phew, let's go, go back to sleep."
After Macbeth finished speaking, he shook his head and suddenly jumped towards the bottom of the stone tower. The body dropped almost half of the height in a free fall state, slipped in mid-air, and disappeared into the night like a bird.
…
The night was quiet. Many people were doing various things and had various thoughts this night, but few people really thought that something would really happen at the exchange conference.
And under this circumstance, the final arrangements of some plans were quietly carried out.
…
