Night.

The wilderness outside of Teresa.

A gray light streaked across the sky, then quickly fell and landed on the ground.

"Bang!"

With a sound, the dust slowly rose, and a figure in the dust stood up, it was Richard.

Smelling the earthy smell of dust in the air, Richard frowned slightly, pressed his hand down, controlled the air pressure around his body to rise sharply, and pressed the dust back to the ground, and his vision was clear.

After doing this, I looked up and locked on to a clearing that was nothing out of the ordinary.

It was the entrance to the base of the Truth Church of Deland, and he was already familiar with it because he had been here many times.

He stepped forward, stretched out his hand to open it, stepped on the steps, and walked down.

Walking through the long hallway, he appeared at the door of a room and, without hesitation, knocked on the door—it was the office of the steward Canon.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Enter!"

Soon, there was a response from inside the door.

With a "squeak", Richard pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Canon, the steward sitting in the back of the office. In addition, there is a big white rabbit squatting in the corner of the other party's desk, eating with a "cluck" in its mouth, which looks a bit like the one that Rommel had hugged before.

Canon looked up, his eyes fluctuated, and he asked in a slightly surprised voice, "Wizard Richard, why did you suddenly come to the branch, is there something wrong?" Do you want to confirm the return of the Book of Void before? Wizard Joseph has already returned it for you, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Steward, I'm not here because of this incident. Richard shook his head lightly and said, "But speaking of which, it has something to do with it." ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Canon.

"There are three copies of the Book of the Void, you know, steward?" asked Richard, looking directly into Canon's eyes, trying to see something in his expression.

Then what he saw was the other party's deep doubts.

Canon frowned and asked rhetorically, "There are three copies of the Book of the Void? How is it possible, aren't there only two copies in total, and this is the one you brought back from St. Louis City." Otherwise, there is only one book. ”

Richard pursed his lips, knowing that he shouldn't get a breakthrough from Canon, so he simply said, "Okay, let's treat it as if there are two copies of the Book of the Void." The main purpose of my visit this time is actually to meet Director Rommel, I wonder when he will come to the branch?"

"Director Rommel—" Canon hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "The other day, the Director just finished a very important thing in the organization, and has been working on some finishing touches recently, so he may not be coming to the branch anytime soon." You really want to see him, you need to be patient. ”

"What's the finishing touch?" asked Richard.

Kanon smiled and didn't answer.

Richard knew that this was a sideways way of telling him that he had better not know these things.

"Whew-"

Richard took a deep breath and thought for a moment, "Then if I want to see Director Rommel now, can I? Where can I go and find him?"

Hearing this, Canon showed a thoughtful expression, blinked his eyes and asked, "Wizard Richard, can I ask, what is it that makes you so anxious to find Director Rommel? There are some things that cannot be rushed in a hurry. ”

Don't be in a hurry, when the contract period of the ancient tree tin wood is up, I am afraid that the energy to gather enough for nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plans is far away. This plan, which has already invested so much time and energy, should be postponed indefinitely because of the last obstacle?

Richard thought in his heart, looked at Canon, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I just think that if some things can be solved, it's better to solve them early, and I don't like to procrastinate very much."

For example, if you borrow materials from an organization, according to the regulations, the originals can be borrowed for a maximum of one month. Actually, I return it at least a week early every time, and you should know that, Steward Canon?"

"This ......" Canon opened his mouth, powerless to refute, for what Richard said was indeed the truth.

Pushing aside the information to be processed, Canon looked at Richard with a serious expression: "So, Wizard Richard, you must see Director Rommel?"

"If I could, I would like to see Director Rommel tonight. Richard said.

"Tonight......" Cannon was stunned, "if you really want to see Director Rommel tonight, then you have to go to the site where he is dealing with the finishing touches." ”

"Pompey?" asked Richard.

"No, no. Canon shook his head vigorously, "Pompey's most crucial work has been completed, and now the finishing work that Director Rommel is doing, specifically, is to go to some of the places marked before, and dispose of some filth and obstacles. So, not in Pompeii, but in the rest. ”

"Where?" asked Richard.

Canon took a map from his desk and pointed a point to Richard on it: "If you count the time, if the finishing work of Rommel's steward goes well, he should be in this place now." ”

Richard walked to the table, glanced at the place pointed by Canon, and exclaimed, "Blue Lagoon?"

"Hmm. Canon nodded, "This place is not too far from the branch, only a few dozen miles, if you have the strength, it won't take long to get there." ”

Richard nodded, already thinking in his heart whether to act immediately.

Suddenly thinking of something, he looked at Canon and asked, "I'm going there now, what if I happen to miss it with Rommel?"

"Then you'll have to contact me with a crystal ball, and I'll show you the rest of Director Rommel's finishing touches for you to try your luck, but don't expect too much. ”

"Okay. Richard nodded in agreement, "Then I'm sorry for you, Steward Canon." ”

With that, Richard exited the door and walked out.

There was a "squeak" and the door was shut.

Canon looked at the closed door, shook his head, pulled out a carrot from his sleeve like a trick, and stretched it out to the white rabbit squatting in the corner of the desk.

The white rabbit jumped over quickly, biting it, and gnawing non-stop.

Kanon looked at the White Rabbit, exhaled, and said as if pointed: "You should still be persistent, I know that what I was worried about before was correct, it is difficult for people like you to give up simply." I don't know, this time Director Rommel, can convince you, hopefully. ”

On the ground outside the base, Richard didn't know what Canon said, but remembered the location he had seen on the map before, determined the direction, and stepped into the sky, flying towards the northeast.
