Alan Pangbo blocked Richard's gaze on Anne and snorted coldly, with a slightly sullen look on his face to express his dissatisfaction. Then he calmed down his expression, showed a serious look, looked at Richard deeply and asked: "So, you and those who rebelled against our Pangbo family are really not in the same camp?"
"no."
Allen Pangbo's expression was a little complicated. He thought for a long time and bowed slightly: "Okay, I apologize for my previous behavior. I was impulsive. Now I feel your sincerity. Maybe we can really Sit down and talk about a deal.”
"Okay." Richard said, "Excuse me, Mr. Alan Pangbo, what is your attitude towards the previous transaction?"
"Before answering this question, I want to ask you something first." Alan Pangbo looked at Richard, "Do you want to get the "Book of Void" to get the book itself, or do you want to get the book itself?" What’s the content of the book?”
"content."
"Sure enough." Alan Pangbo showed a clear look, "So, you already have some basic understanding of this book, right?"
"I know that it records some knowledge and spells about the void. It is something handed down from the ancient wizard civilization. It is very rare and very profound." Richard said, "For some reasons, I want to get its contents. Well, Study it and use it to solve a certain problem."
"Is that so?" Alan Pangbo nodded, "Then you know, I have been studying this book for a long time, for several decades.
This book has been in my family for a long time. When I first read it, I thought it was just an unfounded dreamer's rumblings, but later I realized how precious and profound it is. Until today, I have only studied part of its knowledge, but I have also benefited a lot. If nothing else, just talk about the battle just now. You should have seen my ability to dodge attacks. "
"Could that be..." Richard raised his eyebrows.
Alan Pangbo nodded: "Yes, you guessed it right. The ability to dodge attacks is an application of the knowledge in the book after I studied the Book of Void. The principles are somewhat complicated, but simple To put it bluntly, it's almost like this: I used the energy of the void to transfer the damage you did to my body, thereby dodging the attack.
Of course, this method comes with a big price, so every time I use it, my face becomes a little bit uglier. In the end, I couldn't control my body, which was also the reason. It was a stubborn disease caused by my continuous use of this method for many years in the past. "
"Ahem..." After coughing twice, Alan Pangbo looked at Richard and said, "The contents in "The Book of the Void" are really profound, and you can get huge benefits through research, but you may also pay a heavy price.
Fortunately, for more than ten years, I have recorded my research results and insights and compiled them into a handbook. If I give you the handbook, your study of the "Book of the Void" will definitely go more smoothly and the possibility of you going astray will be reduced. "
After listening to Alan Pangbo's words, Richard was not too excited. Obviously there is no free lunch in the world. He looked at the other person and asked cautiously: "If I want to get the "Book of Void" and your code, what do I have to pay? ?”
"What you have to pay is not much, stranger." Alan Pangbo said, "Because I know very well that if the conditions are too harsh, you will give up the transaction and choose other ways to obtain the "Book of the Void". Therefore, I will not I’m going to make you pay money, spell scrolls, and spell props, and I just want you to do one thing.”
"What?" Richard asked, becoming more cautious. Sometimes, the simpler the conditions, the more difficult it is.
Alan Pangbo did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at Anne beside him. He looked at Anne for a few seconds before speaking. He turned his back to Richard and said, "I want you to take my great-granddaughter safely and unharmed." Wounded, leave St. Louis City and send her to a place beyond the current reach of the fighting in St. Louis City.”
"This..." Richard's eyebrows moved. He had to say that this condition was a bit beyond his expectation. It was simply too simple. To be honest, Allen Pangbo can do it by himself, and it doesn't take much time at all.
But why doesn't Allen Pang do it himself? Could it be that the other party has other plans, that would be...
After hearing what Alan Pangbo said, Anne had a similar guess as Richard. She quickly looked at Alan Pangbo and asked: "Great-grandfather, you asked him to send me to a safe place, what are you going to do? "
"Of course, let the enemies of our Pangbo family pay the price." Alan Pangbo's expression became serious.
"Then I can stay." Anne said anxiously, "Although I can't do anything to help you, I will never hold you back. I can work with you to make the enemies of our Pangbo family pay the price and put them to death. Kill them all, and then restore the power of our Pangbo family in St. Louis City!"
After hearing this, Alan Pangbo shook his head slightly and said to Anne: "Silly boy, you are thinking too much. All I have to do is to make the enemy pay the price. As for restoring the power of the Pangbo family, it is no longer possible. ”
"Why?" Annie was puzzled.
Alan Pangbo's eyes deepened, and he looked at the empty air and said: "According to what you said, there is no accident in the Pangbo family this time. It should be that the situation is over. After most of the direct members were killed, the internal strength It is doomed to be empty. Even if you hold on now and will not fall, it will fall and be completely destroyed in the future. In this case, why don’t you give up a little bit and give up the city of St. Louis, leaving your hope. Maybe after a few decades, in other cities, , the Pangbo family can still be rebuilt."
Seeing Annie frowning and wanting to refute, Alan Pangbo continued: "You have to know that wizards are a scarce resource. Our family has developed for so many years, and there are only seven absolutely loyal wizards related by blood. That's right. It is these seven wizards as the core force who can control dozens of wizards and wizard apprentices, and then control hundreds of magic knights and thousands of soldiers, and finally firmly rule the city of St. Louis.
Once this balance is broken, and almost all the direct wizards with blood ties are killed, there is no other good way except starting all over again. Because after losing our direct line of wizards, no matter how many wizards we control, we only have superficial control. Without the constraints of close relationships, the other party will turn against us at any time, ignore us, turn us into puppets, and let us act according to their wishes. "
"But, great-grandfather, what if we don't control the wizards, but directly control the magic knights?" Annie's eyes flickered and she proposed an idea, "Wizards are indeed powerful. Without enough power of direct wizards, it will be difficult to suppress them. As long as one of them is dissatisfied, It will cause a lot of trouble. But the magic knights are different. Their personal strength is not very strong. Only when they unite can they explode with powerful power.
Our family has mastered a full set of magic pattern manufacturing methods for magic knights. As long as we end the current chaos in St. Louis City and develop for a period of time, we will be able to have a sufficient number of magic knights again. Supervise them well and prevent high-level traitors like Gawain from appearing, then we will still have extraordinary power that cannot be ignored, and we will even be stronger than before. "
