Explosions and screams rang out, and corpses fell from the air one after another, like dumplings, hitting the ground outside the Blue Lake Manor and falling to the ground.
"Gudong!"
Seeing this scene, Bobo Bovich couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. Although he is stronger than any enemy, he still has no confidence that he can survive if he is attacked by the same attack.
Because this was different from all the attacks he had encountered before, it was too... violent.
Yes, it was too violent, that was the only word he could think of to describe it.
Then, he saw the person who caused the violence—Richard.
The "Fire Cloud" dispersed little by little, and Richard's figure appeared high in the sky, slowly falling toward the ground.
"Richard!"
Popobo Veitch said a quick hello.
Richard ignored it and fell to the ground with a cold face, landed around the body, and examined the body.
Bobo Bovich's expression stiffened for a moment, then fell, looking at Richard with some embarrassment, and said hello again: "Um... Richard, thank you very much, you saved me."
At this time, Richard finished checking the body and stood up. His expression looked a little strange, as if he had encountered something incredible, but he quickly returned to normal.
Looking at Bobo Bo Vicki, Richard responded loudly: "Thank you, but I want an explanation."
Pointing to the corpses, Richard said: "I want to know who are these corpses? Why are they here? Although they attacked my manor and I have every reason to fight back, I can't deny it. It seems that you deliberately put them here." They caused it.”
"Um, um, cough!" Popobo Vicky looked aggrieved. "You can't blame me entirely. To be honest, I don't know who they are. You and I were separated before and we met on the way back. When they got there, they didn't even explain to me and just took action. I really couldn't defeat them, so I had to come to you for help.
Well, I also know that you hate getting into trouble. Otherwise: you like research the most, so I will give you a copy of the 'Blood Spirit' potion that improves my wizard level and let you study it as compensation. "
As he spoke, Bobo Bovich took out a dozen bottles of finger-sized glass potions from his arms and gave them to Richard.
Richard took the potion and put it away without refusing, saying: "Well, your potion will be regarded as the price for my action. But, having said that, should you also pay for the repairs of the destroyed manor? one time?"
At this time, the manor was still burning with flames. Although important places, such as the wind tunnel laboratory and the stone building, were not destroyed, the warehouses and stables were destroyed. Complete restoration would require a lot of money.
Bobo Bovich glanced at the burning manor and asked cautiously: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
"One thousand gold coins," Richard said calmly, giving him a friendly price.
"One thousand gold coins?!" Bobo Bovich opened his mouth wide, then closed it with great effort, nodded, and said angrily, "Okay, one thousand gold coins, just one thousand gold coins."
"That's it." Richard said, "By the way, it's best not to cause any further trouble, otherwise I will ask you to compensate."
Bobo Bo Vicki: "..." Suddenly he felt that asking Richard for help was really not a good choice. The price was much more expensive than he thought.
Richard said nothing more, tilted his head slightly, glanced a few times in the distance in the night, then waved to Bobo Bo Vicki and walked back to the manor.
The men in the manor, under the command of the butler Gallie, nervously scooped buckets of water from the small lake and poured it on the burning flames to prevent the flames from spreading. Richard waved his hand and released several spells to help reduce the fire. After confirming that the fire was under control, he walked back to the stone building that was not affected by the flames.
…
Outside the manor, Bobo Bovich thought with a grimace on how he could collect one thousand gold coins to return to Richard.
Although he is not poor, he is not really rich either. Most of the money was turned into magic props and "blood spirit" potions. If it's five hundred gold coins, you can pay for it with the tuition fee from Marquis Vian. If it's one thousand gold coins, you may have to sell off your property.
Alas, why is he so unlucky? !
He just went out for a trip, but not only was he almost killed, but he also owed a huge debt. By the way, who is the person who attacked him
Could it be the Bloodfang Thieves Group
He did have some conflicts with the Bloodfang Thieves before, but how long has it been? If he really wants revenge, is it too late
Puzzled, Bobo Bovich stepped closer to the body and found that the body was either twisted or charred, with no clues about its identity at all.
But just when he was about to give up, a tattoo on a male corpse caught his eye.
The male corpse was the middle-aged male wizard who first attacked him. The tattoo was on his shoulder. Previously, the opponent's shoulders were wrapped in white cloth. The texture of the white cloth was quite special. Therefore, during the process of being bombarded by Richard with strange arrows, the white cloth was burned, but the skin under the white cloth remained intact.
Then, he saw an eye tattoo on the skin, an extremely weird and lifelike eye tattoo.
The eyes are slender, and the pupils inside are nearly triangular. If you look at them for a long time, you will have an illusion. That's when the pupils are rotating, as if they want to suck in the whole world.
this!
Bobo Bovich suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes widened, his throat felt dry, and an indescribable emotion arose in his heart. Not because of fear, but because...he had seen this pattern before.
Yes, he has seen it before, and this pattern is very important to him and is an important reason why he came to Jialan City!
Many years ago, it was because the clues to this eye were broken and the investigation was interrupted. He had stayed in Jialan City until now, almost forgetting his original purpose.
Unexpectedly, this pattern reappeared.
So, the other party realized that he was investigating and was planning to kill him to silence him
No, this is as unreasonable as the reasoning of the Bloodfang Thieves. Too much time has passed, and even if the other party really noticed it, he would not react so slowly.
So what is the reason
Bobo Bovich stood among the corpses, his eyes moving rapidly, thinking constantly, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
He was extremely confused and irritable now, and he really wanted to shout to vent his anger.
For a moment, he took a deep breath and tried to control himself to calm down.
He knows very well that he usually does things out of the ordinary, not very reliable, and even a little funny. That's because he thinks it's all trivial and doesn't care, as long as it's interesting and satisfying. That's why he inexplicably fought with Richard to snatch the educational rights of two students, Harry and Cathy.
But it's different now.
The pattern he saw was a knot in his mind. It was an absolutely important matter, and he had to investigate it clearly.
So…
"call-"
Bobo Bovich took a deep breath, and a ball of flame came out in his hand, pressed on the tattoo, and burned it. After looking around, he saw that no one noticed him and left quickly, preparing for a long-term plan.
…
Not long after Bobo Bovich left, a man walked out of the darkness. The direction in which he appeared was exactly the direction that Richard had been looking at.
I saw that his whole body was wrapped in a thick black robe, his face was as pale as a dead person, and his eyes were like two ice balls, which occasionally circled.
He did not approach the dead body, but only looked at it from a distance for a few times, then turned to look at the Blue Lake Manor, and then looked at the direction Popo Bo Vicki left. He frowned and thought, his expression slightly surprised and puzzling, and then he cautiously retreated into the darkness and disappeared.
