In the reception room, Richard left for a while before Bobo Bovich realized what he was doing. He loudly defended himself in the direction of Richard's departure: "Hey, I'm not ill. At most, I'm... injured. Yes, injured. !”
As he said this, there was a "boom" sound, and Bobo Bovich's body swayed and he almost sat down on the ground.
Bending slightly, Bobo Bovich struggled to raise his eyes and looked towards the top of his head. He saw that the grass-green hair had grown vertically to more than five meters high. He was wearing a hat and directly touched the roof. He was still working hard. drilled out of the roof.
"Jessica!"
Bobo Bovich yelled.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
There was a sound of footsteps, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old ran in, with big and bright eyes and a few freckles on her face. Because he was running too fast, the person with the double ponytails on the back of his head was jumping up and down, it was Popo Bo Vicki's apprentice.
"What's wrong, teacher?" The female apprentice named Jessica ran in, glanced at Bobo Bo Vicki and asked with concern.
At this time, because his hair continued to grow, Bobo Bovich had helplessly sat on the ground, with an expression on his face that he had given up on treatment. He pointed to the top of his head, sighed and said to Jessica: "Help me cut my hair. Alright."
"But..." Jessica was confused, "But teacher, can't you use magic to cut it off yourself?"
"I've used magic to cut it hundreds of times before. I'm tired - I'm tired and I don't want to cut it anymore." Bobo Bo Vicki exhaled.
"Okay." Jessica responded, quickly turned around and left. When she returned, she had a pair of metal scissors in her hand. She held it and held it towards Bobo Bo Vicki's head.
"Crack, click, click!"
With a few quick strokes, the vertical grass-green hair on the top of Bobo Bo Vicki's head tilted suddenly like a sawed-off tree and fell to the ground. However, because it is very light, it hardly stirs up much dust.
Jessica put down the scissors, dragged her hair with both hands and walked out. As she walked, she said to herself: "Although this hair is light, it is more resistant to burning. If you add some more, maybe it will be enough for dinner."
"You think so, teacher?" Looking back, Jessica said to Bobo Bo Vicki.
"Maybe." Bobo Bovich replied noncommittally, forcing out a bitter smile, which was uglier than crying.
…
Early next morning.
Early in the morning, Richard finished his instructions, got into the carriage, and left Blue Lake Manor.
Outside the manor, watching Richard and the carriage disappear over the horizon, the butler Gallie lowered his waving arms.
Turning back to look at the group of manor servants, he couldn't help but straighten his waist, and said loudly: "You have also seen that the master has gone away again. This is not the first time, nor is it the last time. You should be used to it - anyway. I’m used to it—the master is busier than us.”
After Gallie finished speaking, he waited for the laughter of the servants of the manor, but all the male and female servants looked at him with wide eyes and were extremely quiet.
Why, wasn’t the joke I told funny? Still didn’t react? It shouldn't be... Gallie was a little uncomfortable. He tugged on his clothes with his hands hidden behind his back, cleared his throat and pretended to be serious: "Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. While the master is away, we Work as you would in the master's presence.
Be proactive and don't be lazy, otherwise I will give you a warning for the first time and a deduction for the second time. The other thing is to prevent thieves and fires. Thieves are the next best thing. There are no such blind thieves in Jialan City. They come here to steal things. Fires are the real big deal. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the chance of fire is getting higher and higher. If it is not handled in time, it will cause heavy losses. I don't want to wait until the master comes back and not even recognize the manor. do you know? "
"I know!" Many servants said in unison.
"Okay, let's break up and start working." Gallie waved his hand.
Many servants immediately dispersed, and when they were far away, they began to whisper without knowing what to say.
Gallie looked at it and approached quietly, curious to hear what the other party had to say. As a result, when the other party noticed it, he immediately stopped talking and looked at him.
"Steward Gallie, do you have any orders?"
"No, no." Gallie waved his hand to cover up his slight embarrassment and walked away quickly.
Walking back to his room, after thinking for a long time, he asked a little uncertainly: "They seem to be a little afraid of me. Really? Why?"
…
Garden of Eden.
Pandora walked out of her study, walked to the open space in front of the main laboratory, and threw a piece of paper filled with data to the old Lich.
The old man Lich was covering half of his face and looking ahead with a frown, as if he had a toothache. In front of him, the two-and-a-half-meter-long bloated skeleton was now only about one meter long—the upper body was standing on the ground intact, but the lower body was broken into bones.
The old man Lich caught the paper Pandora dropped, looked at it a few times, and asked with some suspicion: "Hey, little girl, are you sure you have calculated all these values correctly? If you make a mistake, my transformation will fail. .”
Pandora rolled her eyes: "If you don't believe me, you can figure it out yourself."
After saying this, Pandora walked towards the study without looking back.
The old Lich looked at Pandora's back and murmured in a low voice: "If I could count, why would I come to you? But, don't you just know how to count a few numbers? What's the air? Can you be a little polite
After all, in terms of age, I am also your elder. Besides, I am doing this for our own safety, otherwise I would not want to transform the magic puppet. "
"brush!"
Pandora, who had sharp ears, seemed to hear something. As she walked, she suddenly turned around and looked directly at the old lich.
The old man Lich's eyes were blank, he lowered his head, coughed a few times, and quickly looked at the skeleton with only half of his body left.
Pandora then walked into the study.
…
Academy of Ashes.
In the attic, Bobo Bovich sat slumped on the ground, without moving his eyes. The bundles of hair on his head were like weeds that had penetrated the soil, growing upwards.
After a while, the hair had grown to more than one meter tall. Bobo Bovich feebly raised a metal scissor that was tens of centimeters long and cut the hair with a "click-click" - even though he used spells such as wind blades. Cutting would be easier, but he has cast the same spell hundreds of times, and he feels vomiting every time he casts it, so he has to use this method instead.
With a few clicks, the hair was cut off and fell to the ground.
Bobo Bovich grabbed it and threw it into the distance. He threw it into the corner and saw that there was already a huge pile there.
After taking a look, Bobo Bovich touched the ends of his hair that was still growing, and said in despair: "Hey, when will this day end!"
…
On the avenue.
Richard sat in the carriage and had already left Jialan City, heading northeast.
The next stop is a small town called "Müller", the next stop is "Maple City", and the next stop is "Damkel City".
Finally, walking along this road is the end of the journey and the place where the mission is performed, that is...
