"Squeak."
Richard pushed the door and walked into the main laboratory. He sat down in front of the circular experimental table in the main laboratory and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Previously, he and the old man Lich promised to complete the task and come back within seven days. On the one hand, it was to reassure the old man Lich, and on the other hand, he really did not want to spend too much time on this matter, so as to save the time to plant tin wood on the ancient trees. Or something else happens.
However, completing it within seven days is not an easy task.
The place where the mission is located is not very close. Half of the seven days will be spent on the way there and back, and the remaining half can be used to actually carry out the mission.
After all, it is a large city. Although it is currently known that the books are collected by an ancient wizard family, the specific collection location is not known, and it is difficult to find them. The search process requires not only ability, but also a certain amount of luck.
If he is unlucky and reaches the place, even if he leaves his body and uses his mental body to search like a carpet, he may not find any clues after spending days and nights.
In order to avoid finding nothing, it is best for him to know something about the city he is going to and get enough clues before setting off.
Simply put, be prepared.
"Crack, snap, snap!"
Richard tapped the table a few times, flipped his hand, and took out the star pattern paper and starry sky ink from the space iron ring.
This is a communication tool for contacting the black-faced old man Oscar. He can confirm that the black-faced old man Oscar, whom he accidentally met in Delan, must have a high status. He is probably an influential figure in the Northern Soma Alliance, the largest country in the main continent. Otherwise, There will be no fourth-level wizards as guards.
In line with the principle of mutual help, after confirming cooperation with the other party, he has provided some information to the other party from time to time, and at the same time obtained the desired information from the other party - for example, in the research on plastic energy-like light-based spells, in addition to receiving information from the Truth Society, In addition to the large number of spells obtained by this department, several more obscure light spells were obtained from the opponent.
Now, he plans to communicate with the other party before setting off to perform the mission to see if he can obtain information about the city where the mission will be carried out.
That city is located on the border of the Southern Free Federation, very close to the Soma Alliance, and may have been "infiltrated" by the intelligence agency controlled by the other party.
With this thought in mind, Richard dipped his quill pen into starry sky ink and started writing on the star pattern paper.
"Shashasha..."
He first told the black-faced old man Oscar about the recently collected information about the Truth Society, and then asked the other party if he knew anything about the city where he was going to perform the mission.
The ink with faint light spots on the star pattern paper slowly seeped into the paper and disappeared. After waiting for a while, new handwriting was revealed, which was the reply on the other side of the paper.
The handwriting is slightly sloppy, but not difficult to read, and the writing speed is very fast.
Richard guessed that it was not the black-faced old man on the other side of the paper, but a copyist who had been instructed by the black-faced old man to be working, which was why it was so efficient.
Efficient information transmission lasted for dozens of minutes, and Richard obtained detailed information from the paper.
After that, the handwriting on the star pattern paper suddenly changed, the style changed, and the writing speed slowed down, but every word seemed more powerful.
Richard guessed that this should be the black-faced old man Oscar himself.
I saw it written on the star pattern paper: "The information provided to you above is relatively old information, and some updated information has not been delivered yet. If you have higher requirements on timeliness, in that city Here, one of our agencies may be able to provide you with some modest help."
Richard raised his eyebrows: before, he thought that the city where he was performing his mission might be "infiltrated" by the old man's influence. Now it seems that this is no longer an infiltration, but a permanent presence.
Of course, this is a good thing for him.
Continuing to read, the old man wrote: "If you want to meet with that small organization, you only need to go to a specific address and look for a specific person. They will try their best to meet any of your requirements. Of course, if possible, I also hope that you Being able to provide them with the help we can can be considered a kind of cooperation.”
Richard nodded lightly, waited until the writing disappeared, and then wrote: "Agree."
Soon, a new line of writing came back, which was the specific contact address, contact person and contact password.
…
In the evening, Richard made many preparations to carry out the mission and began to set out.
Afterwards, he left Blue Lake Manor and went to Ashes Academy where Bobo Bo Vicki was located.
The reason why he went to Ashes Academy was that Richard still felt that it was better to have one less person than one more person - it would be easier to carry out the mission with Bobo Bovich than to do it alone.
But unexpectedly, after arriving at Ash Academy, I found that things were a bit complicated.
…
In Ash Academy, in a somewhat simple reception room, Richard and Bobo Bo Vicki sat opposite each other.
Bobo Bo Vicki was wearing a pure black hat at this time. The size was a bit too big and the material was not very good. It looked like a jar on his head, which looked a bit funny.
However, there was not much humor on Bobo Bo Vicki's face, but a deep sadness. He looked at Richard, exhaled and asked bluntly: "You are looking for me because you want to take me with you to perform some mission, right?" ?”
Richard's eyebrows moved and he said, "According to your words, you don't want to go?"
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that it's not convenient." Popobo Vicki said, and then he sighed deeply, "Oh."
"What's wrong?" Richard asked.
Bobo Bovich did not answer, but turned his eyes slightly upward and looked at the hat he was wearing.
"Is there something wrong with the hat?" Richard guessed. As soon as the voice stopped, he saw that Bobo Bo Vicki's hat suddenly grew taller, as if it was pushed up by something from below.
Richard thought he had seen it wrong, but not long after, Bobo Bo Vicki's hat grew taller and separated directly from Bobo Bo Vicki's head.
It can be seen that Bobo Bo Vicki's head is covered with thick hair. The hair is straight and grass-green in color, like weeds contaminated with extraordinary power. It is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hat is The top is getting higher and higher, higher and higher.
After a while, Bobo Bovich's hat was already half a meter away.
The corners of Richard's mouth twitched, and he looked at Bobo Bo Vicki and asked, "Your hair doesn't seem to be normal?"
"It's indeed abnormal." Popobo Vicki said with a sad face, "I was too impatient. I thought the bald head was too ugly, and my hair couldn't grow back in a day and a half, so I used a spell to induce it."
"What spell?"
"Wild Hair Evil Power Growth Technique." Bobo Bo Vicki said.
Just by hearing this name, you can tell that it is not a good spell... The corner of Richard's mouth twitched again.
Bobo Bovich continued with a grimace: "Actually, it was quite good when I first started using it, and my hair returned to its original appearance in just one afternoon.
But what I didn't expect was that after a good night's sleep, something terrible happened. The hair slowly turned green at first, and then kept growing like crazy. Even if it was cut off, it would still grow back.
Therefore, it is really inconvenient for me to follow you on your mission. In fact, it is not convenient for me to go out now. On weekdays, I give lectures to students through the wall, shouting until my throat hurts. "After speaking, Popobo Vicki rubbed his throat.
The corner of Richard's mouth twitched even more fiercely, he shook his head and stood up. Walking up to Bobo Bo Vicki, he patted the other person's shoulder comfortingly, turned around and walked out.
Before leaving the house, Richard turned around and tried to remain serious: "In this case, you don't have to think too much about the mission. It's better to...recuperate. Well, I'll leave first, so you don't have to send me off."
Waving his hand, Richard left Ashes Academy.
