Chapter 995: Red Line
Green Moore Forest.
It's a humble forest in the middle of the mountains, with names in indigenous languages that hardly anyone knows what they mean. The tall trees and foliage resemble a giant tent, obscuring the view of the forest from above, making the forest a kingdom of its own.
"Bang!"
With the sound of branches breaking, Richard fell from the sky and landed heavily on the forest floor.
Looking up, Richard scanned the surroundings, and without hesitation, he flew towards the depths of the forest, looking for Rommel's figure.
Flying a few hundred meters, he saw a large area of scorched, frozen and other traces of spells on the ground in the forest, and his heart moved, and his speed increased again, and he walked faster towards the depths of the forest.
A few minutes later, during the march, there was a "boom" on the side, and an explosion sounded.
A strong wind howled through the trees, rattling the branches.
"Smack!"
Richard paused, glanced at where the sound was coming from, adjusted his direction, and walked again.
After walking more than a hundred meters, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
After walking two hundred meters, he saw that the ground in the forest was covered with the corpses of many wild beasts, almost piled up into a small mountain. Many of the beast corpses are strangely shaped, and there is no shortage of two-headed and three-eyed beings.
Are they all bizarre...... A thought crossed my mind.
After walking three hundred meters, the smell of blood became stronger, the air seemed to have turned into a liquid, and blood was almost pouring into the nasal cavity. The strong smell of rust permeates all corners of the surrounding area.
Richard's brows furrowed deeply, and he saw that the number of beast corpses on the forest ground was actually decreasing. However, judging from the size and appearance of the beast corpses, the number has decreased, but the strength has gradually increased.
He secretly raised his guard in his heart, and although he wanted to see Rommel, he didn't want to accidentally fall into danger.
It's really nothing to deal with a few short-lived strange species, in case you run out of the immortal strange species, and the strength is not weaker than the kind of ancient tree species Ximu, it will be troublesome.
With this in mind, he continued to walk, and after passing through a dense field of trees, a clearing suddenly appeared in front of him.
A battle was going on in the clearing, one of which was a vague figure in a golden robe, and the other was a two-meter-tall demonized wolf. The demonized giant wolf is obviously a strange species, and it is not surprising that it is an immortal strange species. He could clearly feel that the aura exuded by the other party was somewhat similar to that of the ancient tree species Ximu, although it was a little less ancient, but it was a lot more brutal, and he was afraid that his strength would not be weak.
However, the demon wolf was still pressed and beaten by the golden figure.
Richard stepped into the clearing, and the battle was already at an end, when he saw a silver light flash in the figure's hand, and he jumped up quickly, and slashed hard at the neck of the demonized giant wolf with a powerful hand knife.
"Click!"
The demonized giant wolf's body shook violently, and with a "whoosh", his whole body fell down like a collapsing mountain, and he fell to the ground with a "bang". As if squeezed, blood shot out from the seven orifices, and the body twitched several times, not moving. The powerful, brutal aura that emanated dissipated and turned into a dead thing.
Richard pursed his lips and looked at the figure still standing.
The figure noticed it and turned around, revealing Rommel's face.
Rommel's expression was slightly puzzled at this time, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hmm, Wizard Richard, what are you doing here?"
Listening to Rommel's words, Richard's mind turned.
From Rommel's words, he heard a message: the other party did not know, and he was looking for the other party.
In this way, he dispelled one of his doubts: Canon really didn't know where Rommel was, and he told him the location before, and let him keep searching, not deliberately delaying him. Therefore, Rommel was not deliberately avoiding him.
And that's a good thing.
Thinking about this, Richard slowly exhaled in his heart. After settling down, he looked at Rommel, didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Director Rommel, the reason why I came here is specifically to find you, and I want to ask you a question." ”
"Question?
"I'd like to make sure that there is a third book in the Book of the Void, that is, in addition to the first and second halves, there is a final part?" asked Richard.
Rommel raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Sure enough, you noticed that there was something wrong with your research, and you are sure that you have gone astray." ”
"Director, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
"Okay. Rommel raised his hand and replied softly, "You are right, there is indeed a third book of the Book of the Void, the last and most important part. ”
"In that case, then I am not going astray. Richard's expression straightened, "As long as I am given this third book, I have the confidence to solve all the problems I am studying now and complete everything I am researching." ”
After a pause, he looked at Rommel and asked seriously, "I want to know what price I have to pay this time to get this third book." ”
Rommel listened to the words, looked deeply, and did not answer immediately, but shook his head and sighed: "Wizard Richard, do you know, you really let me down a little now. ”
"Huh?"
"You ask me, what is the price to pay to get the third Book of the Void? My answer is that you can't get it at any cost. Rommel said.
"Why?" asked Richard with a frown.
"Because it's not a question of how much to pay, it's a question of attitude. The reason why the organization helps members to progress is not to get any benefits from members in the process, but to help members grow.
After all, the organization has a wealth and heritage that you can't imagine, and it doesn't need to give anything at all. The reason why you were asked to pay before was to prove that you were worth the organization's investment.
But this time is different. I've asked the organization to make exceptions several times before for your research. The reason why I do this is just that I hope you can have a deeper understanding of what you are studying, know the problems in it, and understand that you are taking a wrong path so that you can give up in time, rather than letting you go down the wrong path to the end.
Now it seems that you still don't really realize this and really want to be wrong until the end. Well, I'll have to stop you personally, it's a red line, no matter how you've behaved before, but it's all over here, and you can't cross it - you will never get the third Book of the Void. ”
Richard's brow furrowed, and to be honest, Rommel's answer surprised him a little.
