Next, Richard spent three days in the forest.

In these three days, the main thing is to eliminate the remnants of strange creatures, and the other is to repair the damaged nuclear raw material purification production line - fortunately, because of the strong radiation, the nuclear raw material purification production line was not deliberately destroyed even if it was once occupied by strange creatures, and the main damage was caused by lack of maintenance. Otherwise, not to mention three days, three weeks, it may not be completely back to normal.

In three days, Richard took care of a series of things and returned to Faro.

By the time we arrived at Faro's residence, it was already two days later.

Entering the residence, Richard heard a knock on the door, and when he opened it, he found that it was Heidi, who had delivered a letter from the wizard Sercy.

Sending Heidi away, Richard quickly read the letter, and realized that in the days since he left, the witch Cersei and the two students had gone through almost the entire collection, and finally came to a conclusion.

That is, the bartha script he gives, the script in which the content of the balta is written, is a very rare and almost interrupted script, which is almost impossible to decipher, because of the lack of sufficient supporting materials. If you forcibly decipher it, the progress will be extremely slow, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

And the reason why I say "almost", Sersi said, is not completely impossible to decipher quickly. She has a collection of books, and one of the pages on it is indirectly related to this kind of writing, and this collection is circulated from the royal library of the three kingdoms that were destroyed by the Soma Alliance.

Sersi therefore deduced that there should be relevant books related to this script in the royal library of the Soma Alliance, which has an ancient heritage, or in the royal library of the Sika Kingdom, and if a large number of such books can be obtained, then the decipherment speed can be greatly accelerated.

But then again, the Soma Alliance and the Sika Kingdom, as the two most powerful countries on the continent, are completely different from those small kingdoms and small principalities, and the Royal Library is definitely only open to a few people, or even a few people. If there is not enough interest to impress those in power, even a fourth-level wizard will not be able to enter.

As a result, Sersi said that although she wanted to help, she was powerless because she was just an ordinary wizard and did not have a high-level relationship between the two kingdoms. If he had, maybe he could figure it out for himself.

In addition, it can only be forcibly deciphered little by little.

After reading Sercy's letter, Richard couldn't help frowning a little, he really didn't expect that Baltavin's level of decipherment was so high, and he needed to obtain the collection of books from the Soma Alliance or the Royal Library of the Sika Kingdom. But considering that the benefits that can be obtained after cracking the text are also acceptable.

Seriously, he really had a way to get the books in the Soma Alliance and the Royal Library of the Kingdom of Sika.

On the side of the Sika Kingdom, Jasmine, the blood princess who is preparing to be restored, has his investment. If the other party really succeeds in the restoration, it should be easy for him to ask for some books. However, the difficulty of this approach lies in the fact that the probability of Jasmine's restoration is very low. And he can't, in order to borrow a few books, to help the other party fight against an entire Sika kingdom. In this case, this path can basically be abandoned.

In addition, it is the side of the Soma Alliance.

He was very sure that the black-faced old man Oscar, who had always been in contact with him, was the high-level of the Soma Alliance, and he was the kind that held a lot of power, otherwise there would not be a fourth-level wizard as a guard. And if he remembered correctly, when he gave the other party the list of the Southern Free Federation branch of the Truth Society, the other party promised him three requests.

According to the other party, these three requests have no deadline and he can fulfill them at any time. Once he wants to cash in, the other party will use all the power under his command, including but not limited to all of the "cobwebs", to help him achieve his goal.

If you use these three requirements now and ask the other party to lend him some books from the Royal Library, there should be no problem according to logic. But then again, now that he is no longer in the Truth Society after all, he can't continue to provide the other party with the information he wants, and if the other party turns around and doesn't admit the three demands out of cost considerations, he has no choice.

Therefore, this way is more feasible, but it is also necessary to make second-hand preparations, and it is best to find a way to meet the black-faced old man to see what the other party's true attitude is, and then make a decision.

Thinking like this, Richard heard another knock on the courtyard door.

Confused, he walked out and opened the door, only to find Sherlock in a carriage and appearing at the door.

This came as a surprise to him, and as far as he knew, Sherlock's life in the city of Faro was quite enjoyable. The other party's itinerary is full every day, if he doesn't take the initiative to visit or call the other party to the door, the other party rarely comes once a month.

What's going on this time?

Looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that they are quite anxious.

"Something?" Richard asked, standing on the steps of the courtyard gate, looking at Sherlock.

"My friend, do you think I'm okay and will come and bother you? I know very well that you like to be clean, and you want to live alone in the earth!" Sherlock grumbled as he jumped out of the carriage and approached. He was obviously not in a good mood, slightly annoyed, or else, according to his usual habit, he would call Richard's dear friend, not just a friend.

Richard noticed this and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Is there someone looking for trouble with you and you need my help to deal with it?"

"If only that were the case. Sherlock stepped over and said, "Actually, you're the one who provoked me. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Do you remember, I mentioned to you a few days ago that the Emperor of the Soma Alliance came to Nandu Char again, and Farrow held a dinner party to celebrate for three consecutive days?"

"Remember, and you didn't go to it, did you?"

"Yes, I went to the party, but someone at the banquet asked me to send you a letter, saying what kind of cobwebs the person was, and saying that the reason for sending you the letter was to meet you, and some things were not clear in words alone. Sherlock huffed, "I thought I'd send you a letter, and it didn't take time, so I agreed."

But who would have thought that you would have no one at home for many days, and I couldn't send the letter, and I was worried that I would miss your things, and it would be no fun to play. Good thing you're finally back today, and I can finally get the letter delivered, or I'd be going crazy, my friend!"

After speaking, Sherlock took out a letter from his bosom, thrust it into Richard's hand, and exhaled: "Huh, my dear friend, I am finally liberated, and I don't have to have any more psychological pressure."

Richard: "......"

"Well, my dear friend, go and read the letter, I won't bother you. I'm going to go and relax and make up for my worries these days. Sherlock waved his hand, said goodbye to Richard neatly, boarded the carriage and quickly left.

Seeing Sherlock leave, Richard returned to his room, sat down in a chair in one of the rooms, opened the letter and began to read it.

After reading it, his brow furrowed slightly.

The letter was written by the black-faced old man Oscar, which can be determined, but it did not mention anything important, it should be afraid of leaks. The main content of the above, in fact, has almost been said by Sherlock, that is, to invite him to meet, and the location is Char.

That's right, Char, the southern capital of Char - where the Emperor of the Soma Alliance is now located.

Thinking of some rumors he had heard from Sherlock and from the rest of the people, it couldn't help but make his mind wander, and he guessed that this meeting was not easy.

To be reasonable, he now wants to meet and communicate with the other party because of Baltavin's matter, this is a very appropriate opportunity, and he should not refuse. However, how to take the initiative after meeting and not let the other party lead him, you still have to think about it.

Thinking of this, Richard tilted his head slightly to the side, and saw that there was a 30-centimeter-square square wooden box on the edge of the desk. The box was placed on the desk so calmly, but there was a faint sound coming from inside, as if a watermelon was shaking, and it was mixed with the vague voice of a girl who was still forced to speak despite being gagged.

"Uh-oh-"

"Smack!"

Stretching out his hand, Richard tapped the box twice, frowned, and said, "Be quiet, let me think! I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it." ”

"Hmm-"

The inside of the box quickly fell silent.

Richard continued to think.
