"......", Ximu listened to what Richard said, and he couldn't refute it for a while, and after a few seconds, he couldn't help but say out, "Why, I always feel that you are deceiving me?"

"Not really. Richard shook his head and said very sincerely, "Everything I said was serious, it was all in accordance with the rules, and I didn't deceive you." ”

"But," Ximu still didn't want to accept it, and suddenly thought of something, and shouted, "By the way, I remembered something! You said that my escape caused damage to your property, so I was asked to compensate you for your work, right?"

"Yes. Richard nodded.

"So, what about the damage you have caused to my property?"

"Your property?" asked Richard.

"Yes, my property. "My possessions in the Silent Forest, those trees, those animals! It was you, shameless invaders, who invaded my place, killed many of the animals in the forest, burned almost all the plants with flames, and finally captured me.

If your property damage is to be paid off by asking me to work for you for a hundred years, my property loss, let you work for me for 10,000 years to compensate for it!"

Listening to Ximu's words, Richard immediately recalled the time when he and the people of the Truth Society were on a mission in the Silent Forest. Speaking of which, it was he who proposed to set fire to the forest and force out the body of Ximu, and Ximu asked him for compensation, which really made sense.

It's just that it's one thing to say it, and whether you can get it or not is another thing.

Looking at Ximu, Richard said indifferently: "I don't deny what you said." However, there are a few aspects that need to be clarified. First, it was not me who invaded your forest and caused destruction, but the organization behind me, the Society of Truth.

In other words, even if I don't go, someone else will. Therefore, you should not ask me for your loss, but go to the Truth Society to ask for it. As for how you ask them for it, then it doesn't matter to me, it's your dispute with them, and it shouldn't be involved with me.

Second, even if you really ask me for your loss, there is a very important thing, that is, do you have evidence and witnesses?"

"Huh?" Ximu wondered.

Richard explained: "As you said before, you can't let you work as long as I want, you can work for as long as you want, you have to have a certificate." Now, what you can see is the evidence, the proof that you caused the damage. In addition, I can ask the rest of the people to prove it twice. ”

"Pandora!" Richard shouted, turning his head.

Pandora, who was standing next to her, understood and said very seriously: "Well, I can testify that it was his tree that caused the damage." ”

"You see, this is a witness. Richard said, looking at Ximu and asked, "Then do you find evidence and witnesses to prove together? Also, can you prove that you are the owner of the forest, or that the forest does not belong to you at all, and that you are also an intruder and secretly occupy it, like a hermit crab on the beach." ”

"I'm ......" Ximu opened his mouth and didn't make a sound towards Richard for a long time, and his momentum subsided little by little until he disappeared.

"Look. Richard spread his hands, "I said, I'm reasonable." If you really deserve compensation for your loss, I will not refuse. However, if I shouldn't compensate, then I won't be willing to suffer. So, I also hope that you can also have this spirit of contract and fulfill the contract well. Seriously, even though the contract is for 100 years, if you perform well during that period, I can give you the discretion to reduce the remaining time.

For example, if you can continue to work hard for a year, make no mistakes, and make outstanding contributions, I can reduce your time by one year. In this way, if you work for 50 years, you can reduce it by 50 years, and finally only fulfill half of the contract, and then you will be free. ”

"Really?!" Ximu exclaimed with some surprise, he really didn't expect Richard to be so kind.

"Of course. Richard said, "What I have said, I will definitely carry it out, and I will not go back." Of course, then again, there is a reward for your good performance, and there is a penalty for poor cash. If you are passive and slack, I have the right to extend the contract. I'm sorry if you're acting more aggressively, like trying to escape a second time. The first time you read it in the first offense, you can destroy the body and leave a tree heart. The second time, even the heart of the tree was left, and it was made directly into a pen holder. ”

"I won't. Ximu said in a low voice after a long while.

"I hope so. Richard said, "In that case, the contract is concluded, no problem, right?"

"Do I have a choice?" asked Ximu rhetorically.

"Of course. Richard said, "You can choose to accept and fulfill the contract." Or refuse, make a pen holder. ”

"I promise, if you make a pen holder, I'll make you beautiful. Pandora was beside her, and she quickly interjected at the right time, hoping that Ximu would consider the latter somewhat.

"......," Ximu listened, his face twitched, he looked at Richard and sighed, "Okay, I promise your contract." ”

Hearing this, Pandora shook her head in disappointment, turned and walked away.

Richard looked at it, smiled lightly, and looked at Ximu again: "You agreed, that's good." Next, I have some chores to take care of, such as storing the materials I brought back, repairing buildings, repairing equipment, etc. So, I'm going to hand you over to Mr. Ah Fu to monitor for a while, and when I'm done, I'll put you in one place for you to grow, recover, and work, how about it?"

"Yes. Ximu continued to say expressionlessly, suddenly as if he thought of something, his eyes rolled and said, "I can promise you that you won't make trouble." It's just that the bone frame called Ah Fu you said dares to accept it or not, it doesn't matter to me. ”

"Huh?" Richard wondered, "Why doesn't Mr. Ah Fu dare to accept it?" as he spoke, he looked suspiciously at Ah Fu, the old man of the lich not far away.

The old man of the lich was aware of it, turned his head to look, and saw that Ximu was about to say something, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he quickly ran towards Ximu, and said as he ran: "Hey, stupid tree, you shut up for me, don't talk nonsense!"

The Old Man Lich was eventually a step slower.

Just before the old man of the lich ran over, Ximu spoke, and said to Richard with pride: "It's very simple, when you didn't come back before, I beat him so hard that I almost killed him during my escape. Seriously, if a skeleton hadn't saved him, he wouldn't be alive now!"

"Huh?" Richard was stunned, and his heart became confused.

According to the message Pandora sent him, his guess about the truth of the matter was that Ximu was found by the old lich man who had escaped and called out Pandora, and the two joined forces to clean up Ximu. But now listening to the words of Ximu, a person who witnessed it, it doesn't seem to be the case, and there is something else going on.

Could it be that the old man of the lich was really beaten badly?

So, how was tin wood solved?

Pandora alone is at most on par with Ximu, right?

Also, what is the matter with the skeleton that the other party is talking about, where did a skeleton come out, could it be made by the old man of the lich?

His eyes flickered, and Richard turned his head to look at the old man of the lich who had come running over.

The old man of the lich stopped in embarrassment, scratched his head and looked over and said, "Well, you listen to me tell you slowly." ”
