Seeing the shadow stand up, Richard was a little shocked in his heart.

Although I have been prepared in my heart, I still feel a little incredible to see this scene really happen.

He already knew a lot about the matter of leaving the body, which was a necessary part of the wizard's meditation and cultivation process. But since he left the Blue Lion Kingdom and embarked on the road of pursuing the truth of the world, he has seen countless wizards, but apart from himself, he has never seen an existence that can retain his consciousness and move freely after leaving his body.

According to his previous guess, maybe it is normal for wizards to be unable to retain their consciousness out of their bodies, and there is an invisible layer of cover protecting these wizards, making these wizards become people in the trap.

And he, perhaps because of some strange factors such as "crossing", caused him to be born without a protective cover, so he was able to become the only free person in the world and have many conveniences.

And now, he sees the second free man.

Trying to stabilize his emotions, Richard looked at the shadow standing out of the eight-armed skeleton and found that the other party's form was extremely blurred.

I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, or even if it was a human or not, it was just a white shadow.

This is also normal, because the form of the consciousness body can be adjusted through consciousness. If you want, you can become a dog or a dragon. However, out of habit and some psychological factors, he maintains his consciousness in human form.

At this time, the consciousness of the eight-armed skeleton produced a slight fluctuation of consciousness, and Richard heard a voice coming from him, which sounded a little vague and immature, like a babbling and slurred baby, but the content could still be conveyed clearly.

"I ...... I'm glad we met...... You don't have to worry about me, I have no ill will towards you, I just want to stay as I am. If you really feel sorry for me, you can ...... Sign a contract with me and I promise that I will abide by it and will not violate it...... Of course, you can't treat that tree like that...... Exploit me ......"

......

The exchange between Richard and the eight-armed skeleton began on and off for several minutes.

A few minutes later, Richard listened to the eight-armed skeleton's words and issued his own "voice" to the other party: "We can make the contract you said - I will not exploit you, I will give you freedom, but you must also promise not to do anything that is detrimental to my interests."

Be cautious, and after this exchange, I will set an observation period for you to monitor your actions. Only when there are no problems with your performance during the observation period will I give you real trust. ”

"Yes...... OK. ”

"Alright, that's it. Richard paused and asked, "I'm a little curious, though, what your name is." Anyway, since we've made a deal, we're going to call you by your official name, right? My name is Richard Austin, and what about you?"

"My name ......" the eight-armed skeleton hesitated for a long time, and said slowly, "My past is a blank for me, with occasional faint colors—it is a fragment of memory, each time it is fleeting, and I can't grasp it at all." So I can't remember at all, what my name is, I don't have my own name. ”

No name? What do you call it?

Mr. Skeleton?

Or Mr. Eight Arms?

Or Mr. Crab, Mr. Octopus, Mr. Squid...... Well, the squid is a ten-wristed general order, with ten wrists, and the number does not match, so it cannot be called so...... Looking at the eight-armed skeleton, Richard turned his mind, and after a while looked at the other party and said, "You can't not remember at all, right? Even if it's a word, a syllable?"

"This—" the eight-armed skeleton hesitated again, and finally spoke, "I vaguely think of a name, but I'm not sure if it's mine, or if it's a friend's, or an enemy's, or if it's written in some book." ”

"What's the name?"

"That name is - the god Gisquir Qigamen. The eight-armed skeleton said seriously.

"Huh?"

"The god Gisgir Ghammon. The eight-armed skeleton repeated, miraculously correct.

“......”

Richard was silent for a while, listening to the strange name, and very much wanted to bring Popbo Vicch over and let the other party exchange ideas with the eight-armed skeleton about naming it.

There are so many names in the world, why do you have to come up with a name that is so awkward?

As far as he knew, no matter how fluent he was in tongue twisters in this world, he didn't seem to have any added to chanting incantations.

At this time, the eight-armed skeleton said, "If you don't mind, just take this name as my name." ”

Actually, I kind of mind...... Even if you don't take into account the awkward name, the length of the name alone makes the communication time much longer...... Richard moved his consciousness slightly, and said to the eight-armed skeleton, "Actually, you can consider using a shorter name as a name." ”

"A shorter name?" the eight-armed skeleton's consciousness fluctuated, "Hmm, I really think of another name, I'm not sure if it's related to me, but it's short. ”

"What?"

"Anan. ”

This is really short, there are only two syllables in total, and compared to the name of the old man of the lich, "Ah Fu", the two of them can just form a club of old people with amnesia.

"You say, could my real name be Gisjir Kigarmen God Anan?" the eight-armed skeleton asked for advice, "maybe you could call me Gisjir Kigarmen God Anan in its entirety, it would be better." ”

"Uh- I'll call you Anan anyway. ”

"It's fine. The eight-armed skeleton didn't insist.

"Then I'll call you Mr. Anan. Richard said seriously.

"Mr. Anan?" the eight-armed skeleton objected, "Why do you think I'm sir?"

Richard was stunned for a moment, looked seriously at the consciousness of the eight-armed skeleton, which did not distinguish between men and women, and said, "Could it be that you are a lady?"

"I don't know. The eight-armed skeleton responded, "I told you, my past is blank, and I don't know if I'm male or female. ”

"Then what do I call you? I don't know the gender, whether it's Mr. or Ms., it's not appropriate. It's not very polite to call you by name. ”

"I vaguely ...... I remember that I used to study many things, and I was a researcher. The eight-armed skeleton said, "If you don't mind, you might call me ...... Master Anan. ”

"Master Anan, okay, I'll call you Master Anan. ”

"Thank you—"

......

After a long exchange, the problem of the eight-armed skeleton, or the god Anan of Gishirqigam, was solved, and Richard was relieved.

After that, I didn't ramble and started to deal with all kinds of trivial things.

For example, putting the ore bought from Rice City into the warehouse, such as repairing the various damage caused by the escape of the tin wood, such as returning to the place to interview and confirm the address of the branch of the Truth Society, which is to trade with the black-faced old man Oscar in the future, and taking out the ore put in the warehouse for some processing.

In the busy, time flies, and days pass in a flash.
