More than ten minutes later.
Richard took the eldest lady Anne and the old servant Fitch to the door of the secret room where Alan Pangbo lived.
Stopping in front of the door, pointing toward the door, Richard said to Annie: "Open the door."
"Open the door? I don't know how to open this door." Annie said sincerely.
"you sure?"
"Yeah." Annie nodded.
"Okay." Richard looked at the old servant again and said, "Then why don't I bother you."
"Shall I open the door?" The old servant confirmed with some surprise.
"Yes." Richard answered.
"This -" the old servant hesitated, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Richard and said, "Sir, I want to help you, but I am just a lowly servant and do not have the key to open this door."
"Isn't it your hand that opens this door, or rather the blood flowing in your body? What do you need the key for?" Richard asked.
After hearing what Richard said, the old servant couldn't help but be stunned. Apparently, he didn't expect that Richard even knew such a confidential matter, as if he had seen him open the door with his own eyes.
He opened his mouth, somewhat unsure, and turned to look at Annie, asking for instructions.
Anne looked at Richard with an extremely complicated expression at this time. She already understood in her heart that her strategy of pretending to be stupid had completely failed. Richard knew too many things, so he could open the door in front of him with or without her cooperation.
The only difference is that it would be easier if she cooperated.
"Hoo-ho-"
Anne took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She looked at Richard with a fixed gaze and said, "Okay, don't make it difficult for Fitch. Don't you want to open this door? Well, I'll open it for you." Okay. However, I hope you are ready to open this door. I warn you, behind this door is the most powerful person in our Pangbo family, he... "
"It's Allen Pangbo, right?" Richard said.
Annie was speechless and almost choked. She glared at Richard, bit her lower lip hard, and walked towards the door angrily and helplessly.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, and Annie slapped a hand heavily on the magic-patterned metal door.
A dark blue light suddenly flashed across the magic-patterned metal door, and then it slowly opened with a "click".
Annie stood in front of the door, looked at Richard, and made a gesture of invitation toward the door. Her eyes were slightly provocative, as if to say: Do you dare to go in
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Richard stepped forward and walked past Annie calmly, ignoring the expression on Annie's face, and walked into the door.
Anne couldn't help biting her lip again, watching Richard approach the door, turning her head to look at the corridor, wanting to escape quickly and get rid of Richard's control. But he cautiously thought that Richard's strength was unpredictable and such a move was the best choice. Finally, he cautiously walked through the door with the old servant.
inside the door.
Alan Pangbo noticed that the door was opened, looked up, and looked at Richard with a bit of confusion and a bit of scrutiny.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" After watching for a long time, Alan Pangbo asked aloud.
"Mr. Allen Pangbo, I am an unimportant passerby. Before introducing me, I would like to reveal to you the latest news about the Pangbo family: Now in the city of St. Louis above our heads, the Pangbo family is suffering The biggest crisis in hundreds of years was almost destroyed by many forces uniting to strangle it.
According to the worst guess, in this secret room, besides you, the eldest lady Anne may be the only direct bloodline of the Pangbo family left in the Pangbo family. "
"This!" Even Alan Pangbo, who has decades of experience, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing what Richard said. Then he suddenly turned his head to look at Anne and confirmed in a hurry, "Everything he said is true. ?”
"Great-grandfather..." Anne pursed her lips and nodded, with a heavy expression. "Yes, what he said is true. My father, the arrogant Downers, has been assassinated. In the family, Gawain, the most powerful magic knight, led a group of subordinates to openly rebel, and combined with other forces to besiege our family... "
Listening to Anne's words, Alan Pangbo's expression changed again and again. Before Anne could finish speaking, he pointed at Richard and asked vigilantly: "Then who is he? Is he in the same camp as the enemy?"
"He..." Anne hesitated. To be honest, she was a little confused about Richard's identity.
Richard spoke at this time and looked at Alan Pangbo and said: "Mr. Alan Pangbo, please don't get me wrong. As I said before, I am just an insignificant passerby. I admit that I disguised my identity and hid my identity." In order to gain strength, he sneaked into your family's residence to inquire for information.
But I don’t want to be an enemy of your Pangbo family, nor do I want to do any damage to your Pangbo family. My only purpose is to come to you and get a book. "
As he spoke, Richard looked towards the bookshelf where the "Book of the Void" had been placed. The next moment he was a little surprised to find that the entire bookshelf there was empty.
Turning his head to look at Alan Pangbo, he saw him looking at him with stern eyes as he slowly took out a book from his sleeve, which was "The Book of the Void".
"Is this the book you want to get?" Alan Pangbo asked.
Richard nodded and said without lying: "Yes."
"It turns out it's you!" Alan Pangbo raised his eyebrows and said with a sure look: "The person who sneaked into this secret room yesterday turned out to be you! I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
After hearing the words, Anne and the old servant Fitch looked at each other and hid away silently. They realized that the current situation was completely beyond their control.
"What do you think?" Richard looked at Alan Pangbo and said seriously, "As long as you promise to hand over the "Book of the Void" to me, I can leave immediately. Of course, given that the "Book of the Void" is A rare wizard book, I am willing to compensate for the loss caused by it with gold coins, crystal coins or other items, such as spell props, or other wizard books. How about it?"
"Is this the condition -" After hearing what Richard said, Alan Pangbo protracted his tone, as if he was thinking.
A few seconds later, Alan Pangbo looked at Richard and said, "I have to say that the conditions you proposed are very reasonable and fair, and I should accept it. However, I have a doubt, and I hope you can tell me."
"Speaking."
Alan Pangbo's eyes became serious, he looked at Richard and asked: "Since you are willing to trade with our Pangbo family and pay a certain price in exchange for the "Book of the Void" you want, then why didn't you do this earlier? What to do? Why not talk to the head of the Pangbo family earlier? Why, at this time, do you find me, an old man, to talk about this matter? "
