All the way west.
Under the skilled control of the carriage driver, the carriage passed briskly through the streets, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous alley in the west of the city.
There is a large courtyard here with a rather simple and quiet shape. The style reflects the beauty of the years. The mottled bluestones that make up the walls tell the story of the past.
From the back door of the courtyard, the carriage drove in, and then stopped in a small courtyard. Richard, Bobo Bovich and Joseph got out of the carriage.
Bobo Bovich looked around and his eyes fell on a small fountain not far away. The fountain is only a few meters square, but the pool is extremely delicate, with a full circle of relief carved on the surface. The lines and shapes of the relief are master-level.
"This place is nice." Popobo Vicki said, glanced at Joseph, and asked as if unintentionally, "Is this the residence of the leader of your organization, that is, the canon manager?"
Joseph shook his head: "How is that possible? However, this is a property owned by members of our organization. Because it is more convenient, Manager Canon chose to meet you here."
"Oh, that's it." Popobo Vicki nodded, glanced at Richard calmly, and said: This is the key point, you must write it down.
And Richard has already memorized more.
According to the information he had previously investigated in Delan, this house should belong to a wealthy businessman in the city. This shows that the peripheral members of the Truth Society include not only wizards with extraordinary powers, but also some ordinary people.
interesting.
"Follow me, go this way." Joseph said, leading Richard and Bobo Bo Vicki to one side.
After twisting and turning all the way, I finally walked into a living room.
In the living room, there was already a person sitting in the seat waiting for a long time. The other party was wearing a dark gray robe with a serious expression. He was the so-called Steward Canon.
Seeing the arrival of Richard and Bobo Bo Vicki, the other party stood up and said: "You two are welcome to come here to meet me. Joseph should have told you that I am the canon who wants to meet you."
The other party said welcome, but there was no hint of welcome at all. He said with a straight face and no emotion in his eyes: "And since you two are here, you should also know some things. For example, Joseph is recommending you two. If you join our organization as an individual, you may have some willingness in this regard.”
"Yes." Richard nodded.
"Well, let me briefly introduce the situation of our organization so that you can have a general understanding." Canon said, fully controlling the rhythm of his speech and not allowing others to interrupt.
"Our organization, called the Truth Society, is hundreds or thousands of times larger than you think. Maybe you have some guesses about our organization through recent contacts, but believe me, what you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg. .
The reason why we are called the Truth Society is also very simple, that is, our purpose is to pursue the truth of this world. We explore everything, study everything, just to find out the truth of the matter, just to develop under the guidance of absolute truth, to ensure that we will not perish due to any catastrophe, and to ensure that we will not become the second rumored ancient wizard civilization - Shengji moment, but was suddenly destroyed. "
"So, are you sure that the ancient civilization was indeed destroyed by a catastrophe? What kind of catastrophe was that?" Richard asked curiously, "As far as I know, there is not much information about the destruction of ancient civilization. There is a lot of information so far. Speculations. For example, civil war, powerful spells going out of control, invasion from another world, etc. There is no definite outcome."
Kanon glanced at Richard and frowned: "What happened to the ancient civilization can be understood after you join our organization. Now, let's continue to talk about how you joined the organization."
"Uh, okay."
"As I said just now, our organization is more complex and larger than you think. Anyone who joins us can get many benefits. Therefore, not just anyone can join us. Except for those who have extremely strong In addition to their abilities, they must also meet some of our requirements and be recommended by internal staff.
In terms of introductions, Joseph has helped you, and some requirements can be relaxed appropriately. As for ability, Joseph thinks your ability is good, I don’t doubt it, but the process still needs to be followed, and you have to prove yourself. "
"Prove it, how to prove it?" Popobo Vicki said at this time, speaking in a half-joking tone, "Speaking of which, that Canon manager, the way to prove it is not to let us fight with you here, right? If that’s the case, we should go outside the city and fight here. If we don’t control it well and the entire courtyard is destroyed, it would be a pity. After all, I think this courtyard is pretty good.”
Canon frowned deeply, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be able to pinch off a baby's fingers. He took a deep look at Bobo Bo Vicki and said: "You don't have to worry about the matters in the yard, because our truth will not use the methods you imagine." Come and prove your strength, Mr. Popovich!
I said, the goal of our organization is to pursue the truth, not to select the best wizards like a gladiatorial arena. Therefore, Mr. Popovich, you will not fight me, nor will you fight anyone in the Society of Truth. "
After a pause, Canon looked at Bobo Bovich and continued: "The way to prove your strength is to complete the tasks issued internally by our Truth Society. If it were before, you might be asked to hunt down an undead in Jialan City Wizard. But now, there is another choice. Joseph will accompany you to execute it. Once the execution is completed and there are no major problems, you can enter our Truth Society."
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved." Bobo Bo Vicki said, exhaled, turned to look at Canon, and corrected him, "By the way, Canon's manager, my name is Bobo Bo Veach, not Popovich."
After speaking, Bobo Bovich showed a friendly smile.
"Ah-"
A dry laugh came from Canon's mouth, as if a gust of wind blew out of the cave, bringing with it a large amount of dust.
Canon was smiling, but not at all, or to be more precise, not even at all. Canon's frown deepened a little deeper, almost forming a pimple. He stared at Bobo Bo Vicki for a few seconds and commented: "Bobo Bo Vicki? It's a very interesting name."
Bobo Bo Vicki: "It's not actually Bobo Bo Vicki, but... well, Canon is in charge, you're right."
Popobo Vicky wanted to continue correcting his mistakes, but looking at Canon's gloomy face, he decisively shut up. Otherwise, he was very suspicious. There was no need to wait for the other party to discover his disguised identity, and they might kill him now.
Canon took a deep look at Popobo Veitch and spoke again, saying to Richard and Popobo Veitch: "This meeting will end here. Joseph will tell you the details of the mission later. I have something to deal with, so I’m leaving first.”
After speaking, Canon turned around and left directly.
It wasn't until Canon left for a long time that the low air pressure in the living room returned to normal little by little.
Bobo Bovich breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Joseph, and complained: "Hey, by the way, you, the Canon manager, have never laughed?"
Joseph spread his hands and said: "The character of Canon's manager is like this. He is very serious. If you are not familiar with him, you will feel depressed. But if you have been in contact with him for a long time, you will find..."
"Becoming friendly?" Bobo Bo Vicki said.
"No, you will find that you are used to it." Joseph said seriously.
Bobo Boovich: "..."
"Okay." Joseph glanced at Richard and Bobo Bovich and said, "Let's leave here first and go to the place where the mission is to be carried out. It's not very close to Delan, so it's best to leave early. . On the way, I will tell you the information about the mission."
"Okay." Richard nodded.
"Okay." Popobo Vicki also said, and the two of them followed Joseph out of the living room, and soon got on the carriage they came from, driving out of the courtyard, out of Delan, and heading northwest.
