Chapter 68: As You Wish
Rob raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, he heard the young man continue, "It doesn't make sense for you to deny it, because someone has already told me everything about you. ”
The unlucky ghost behind him drooped his face, looking ashamed and afraid to look up.
Rob finally waited for the opportunity to interject, put down the wooden shower in his hand, and said calmly, "Haven't asked yet?"
"Paynt, the new Guardian of Humanity, a friend of elves and dwarves, an honorary Grand Duke of the Lionheart Empire, a defender of the Codex, and the youngest ninth-order mage in the history of magic. Speaking of his series of titles, the young man looked proud, "Even in such a remote and small place, you must have heard my name." ”
"I'm sorry, my wife and I have been living in seclusion here for a long time, and we don't know much about what's going on outside. Rob paused, "But why would a big man like your Excellency appear in Niax?"
Peint thought that someone was deliberately pretending to be stupid, and sneered in his heart, he felt that he could guess the other party's mind, the former guardian of the human race lost everything, and was reduced to this small place where birds don't, living by farming, and even his own woman had to go fishing on the lake, after seeing himself who took away his identity and status, how could he not have complaints in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to do it, so he could only say a few sour words to vent his dissatisfaction.
Thinking of this, the disdain in Pent's eyes became more and more obvious, "For the sake of Teacher Steins's face, I call you senior brother, I came this time to retrieve the thing on your body that does not belong to you." ”
"I don't remember what I owe the Wizards' Guild to me. ”
Rob took out the von Boulmann's ancient book from the treasury of New Telt and sent it back to the Wizards Guild after leaving the dungeon, in addition to writing two letters to Leonardo da Vinci and Steins, describing in detail what he had seen and heard in the illusionary world of Matata, and after doing these two things, he asked himself if he owed Leonardo da Vinci and the Wizards Guild anything.
"Lord of the Eternal Night. Peinte didn't go around in circles, and directly opened it and spit out those four words, "This legendary staff is the top collection of the Wizards Association, and it should belong to the new Terran Guardian, but you took it away without permission, and I came to retrieve it today." ”
Finding fault also requires technical content, especially with an identity like Pointe, he can't just say that I am angry because I have always been regarded as a substitute for you, so I specially came to teach you a lesson, and see how you knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, so it is estimated that he will be treated as a stupid fork by others.
So Pointe chose a relatively roundabout way, he used the excuse of retrieving the Lord of the Eternal Night, and if Rob refused, then he would have a reason to do it again.
However, what he didn't expect was that the other party just let out an oh when he heard this, and then turned around and walked back to the cabin.
What does this mean? Was Point, who was left hanging out like this, a little inexplicable and silently refused? Or was he ready to do it and go back and take the time to write a suicide note?
Paynt was hesitating whether he should do it directly, but in less than half a minute, he saw someone come out of the cabin again, still holding a long wooden box in his arms.
Rob threw the wooden box to Pent, who was a little wary, and deliberately used magic to construct an elemental hand, took the wooden box, and when he opened it, he saw the legendary staff lying quietly inside, and Paynt's expression became indescribably strange.
The staff is the second life of the magician, and usually a magician will not hand over his staff under any circumstances, because it means that his life and death are in the hands of others, and he has completely lost the initiative.
At that moment, Pointe even felt a little embarrassed for the first time, everyone had already softened to this point, and he was still aggressive, was it a bit too much, but now it was still far from his original goal of completely destroying someone mentally, and it was impossible to let it go.
Pent was in a dilemma, so he listened to Roberto, "What, what's the matter?"
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister had already picked up the shower, but seeing that Paynt was still standing in place and did not leave, he asked again.
It was impossible for Pointe to give up halfway, so he nodded and pretended to be serious, "The Magicians Guild wants to invite Miss Hatfilia to Budapera to be investigated. ”
As soon as he said this, Rob's movements really stopped there, and he frowned, "Investigate, whose order is this?"
Paynt knew that he had found the right direction this time, it seemed that the rumors were good, Rob really cared about that girl, he was worried that he couldn't find a breakthrough to force the other party to do it, he was not surprised to see this, but he still forced himself to say word by word with a straight face, "This kind of thing is not what you should care about, hand over the people, I will leave here immediately, otherwise the special investigation team will come over in two days, and none of you will be able to escape." ”
Speaking of which, Pointe was already insanely hinting that now was the perfect time to do it if Rob was going to do it.
However, the latter's expression calmed down for some reason when he heard this, "Aren't you the new patron saint of the Terrans, didn't Da Vinci tell you anything?"
This time it was Painter's turn, "Tell me what?"
"Last year, Leonardo da Vinci and Steines already knew I lived here. ”
"How is this possible?" Paint blurted out.
Rob said lightly, "You seem to have misunderstood something, no one came here to disturb us, not because we hid well enough, but because no one dared to come here to disturb us." ”
Paynt was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he almost burst into tears, "What is this, don't you think it's too late to bluff? You don't even have a staff in your hand now, and you dare to make up such a lie to bluff people? What are you going to use against me, the shower in your hand?"
"In that case, then do as you wish. After Rob said this, he raised the wooden shower used to water the flowers, and the next moment Paynt's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, because he was horrified to find that his body was like a hole in the gouge, and the mana in his body was leaking out at an unimaginable speed, pouring into the toy-like shower in someone's hand.
Before he started, Paynt had made all kinds of conjectures and calculations with great interest, and even adhered to the principle of the supremacy of caution, and did not hesitate to overestimate Rob's strength a lot, but when he actually fought him, he was horrified to find that the battle was not what he imagined at all, and the opponent's fighting method was completely beyond his common sense and imagination.
