"Whoa!"

With a bang, the sliding wooden window on the carriage was opened, and a human face revealed broken blonde hair, unblemished skin, and just the right facial features, beautiful like a woman, but not feminine, more elegant.

It was because he was so good that he was oppressed by his family and forced to run away from home, and fled to Sherlock in Faro City not long ago.

Some time ago, because of a coincidence, he and Richard bumped into each other and resumed contact. Richard also learned that the other party was doing some business on the black market, which he used to earn money to meet his own horror expenses.

"My dearest friend!" Sherlock said with a warm smile and greeted Richard, "I heard that you want the information of the Ancestral Spirit Society? After I got your news, I immediately sent it to you personally, and I was moved? ”

As he spoke, Sherlock handed a stack of papers out of the car window.

Richard took it, quickly glanced at it, and found that the information was very detailed, and some of it was not even mentioned by Barry himself, for example, the predecessor of the Ancestral Spirit Society was a school called "Light of Ancient Civilization", and for example, the early Ancestral Spirit Society worshipped giant snakes......

After sweeping it, Richard had a bottom in his heart, put away the information and prepared to read it in detail for a while, looked up at Sherlock, pouted and asked: "Sherlock, by the way, you are even more exaggerated than the last time I saw you, and you actually asked the wizard to be a groom for you, not afraid of trouble to find your body?"

"I don't understand. Sherlock squeezed his eyes and said with some sarcasm, "My friend, it is precisely because I dare to ask a wizard to be a groom for me that many troubles are far away from me, and people who are not strong enough dare not have any illegal thoughts against me." ”

"But powerful people don't have scruples, right? I've always been curious, with your strength, how can you make so much money in the black market of Faro City, and not be attacked by people out of jealousy?"

"With my sharp gaze, of course. Sherlock said proudly, "I can see what those people are thinking. After a little trick, they started fighting each other, and they didn't have time to pay attention to me, just so that I could make money with peace of mind. ”

"Besides. Sherlock changed his tone and said, "Isn't there still you, I've told them all, there's a powerful fourth-level wizard behind me, and it's my best friend." If you dare to attack me, my friend, you will definitely retaliate. ”

After speaking, Sherlock was a little weak, glanced at Richard, and asked seriously: "By the way, do you have the strength of a fourth-level wizard now?"

"Pretty much. Richard said vaguely.

"That's good. Sherlock raised his voice slightly, "Since you do have the strength of a fourth-level wizard, then I am really not afraid." ”

Richard couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Sherlock smiled: "Okay, my dearest friend, I know that your time is precious, not only to work hard to cultivate, but also to study all kinds of strange things, so I won't continue to bother you." And I also have something to do in a hurry, so I left first. ”

"Okay. Richard said, "You have business to discuss, just go." ”

"No, no, no. Hearing this, Sherlock shook his head again and again, and corrected, "If it's business, I'm not in a hurry, it's something else." ”

"Huh?"

Sherlock smiled and explained, "You should know that the city of Faro is far from the ocean, and it is very difficult to eat fresh sea fish. However, there is a tavern with a wizarding background in the city, which sells delicious dishes made from fresh sea fish every day. The price is indeed not cheap, but the advantage is that the taste is very good and evocative.

And I'm going to dine with Lucia there today, because it's Lucia's birthday, and I want to celebrate. So, I have to hurry up where to go, otherwise it will be late and the fish will be sold out, and the fun will be ruined. ”

Hearing this, Richard couldn't help but shake his head: "I understand, you are in such a hurry just for pleasure." ”

"Naturally. Sherlock's eyes widened and he said quite seriously, "In this world, is there anything more important than pleasure? Actually, although you are my dearest friend, I don't understand you: time is so precious, why do you have to spend it on research and cultivation, isn't it good to have more pleasures? Life is very short, you have to live a happy and wonderful life, like you, why?"

"For an answer. Richard thought for a moment and said aloud.

"Well, the answer? What is the answer?"

"I want to study the truth of this world and figure out what the world is all about. Richard replied.

"What about after you figure it out?" Sherlock shrugged, "would it be any different?"

"Only when we figure it out can we determine the meaning of some things, and only then can we determine whether the things we are pursuing are true or false. ”

"Truth matters?"

"Does it matter if it's true or not?"

"I think, for example, that it doesn't matter if the pleasure I pursue is true or not. Sherlock said seriously, "For example, I heard a beautiful hymn, some say he wrote it by a great poet, some say it was written by a beggar. It doesn't matter who wrote it, I feel the emotion in the hymn, it's enough.

For example, I watched a wonderful play. Although I knew that the stories told in the play were all fake and fictional, I was still attracted to it and intoxicated by it.

For example, I spent a wonderful night with a beautiful young girl, and I found out that the girl was very old, and her youthful appearance was her disguise, and I ...... Uh, well, that's not a good example. ”

"Anyway!" Sherlock said seriously, taking a deep breath, "In short, pleasure is pleasure, as long as you enjoy it, what is the point of truth or falsehood?

"In my eyes, truth is more important than joy. Richard exclaimed, "And that's the difference between you and mine." ”

"My poor friend. Sherlock looked at pity, "I wonder if you haven't enjoyed the food or the rest of your pleasures since the last time you were separated from me?" I think you're living more miserable than a beggar." Why don't I talk to Lucia and invite you to the tavern and enjoy some fish?"

"Actually, I feel the same way about you, and I think you are pitiful, like a monkey who is addicted to pleasure. Richard also showed pity and responded seriously to Sherlock, "Why don't you come and accompany me for a few days of experiments?"

Sherlock: "......"

After being silent for three seconds, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, okay, okay, I will never give up pleasure after seeing that we can't convince each other, and you will never pursue pleasure." Then don't continue to waste time. Next, I go eat fish, and you do your research, and it's perfect. ”

"Agreed. ”

"Goodbye then?"

"Goodbye. ”

"Gollum", the wheels turned, the carriage forward, and the boy who had knocked on the door before jumped into the carriage and left the street in a short time.

Richard watched the carriage leave, withdrew his gaze, exhaled lightly, and walked through the door with a stack of papers.
