Chapter 139:

Seeing Richard appearing next to him, Ron immediately bowed slightly and said respectfully. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Teacher, you're back. ”

"Hmm. Richard nodded slightly, glanced at his still sunken chest, and said in a calm tone.

"My matter is almost settled, so tell me now how you got into trouble with that woman from Virgil. ”

"Virgil?" Hearing the name, Ron immediately remembered the inexplicable battle before, and after a pause, he immediately explained.

"Teacher, I don't know about this matter, I haven't had any contact with her before. ”

"Really?" Listening to his explanation, Richard tilted his head slightly, and his white pupils stared at Ron's slightly pale face, and a faint black light flashed through it, as if to discern whether he was lying or not.

Ron, who was stared at by Richard, actually sensed a strange aura emanating from Richard's eyes, caressing his head like a big gray cold hand.

The touch was so uncomfortable that he got goosebumps all over his body and instinctively wanted to dodge it.

However, this gaze only lasted for a short moment, and Richard withdrew his gaze and nodded.

"I see. ”

Ron was not surprised by Richard's attitude, and he had the impression that although Richard accepted him as a student, in addition to teaching him a little basic experimental knowledge, the rest was all up to him to learn by himself based on the knowledge in the books.

This mode of getting along is not so much about teachers and students as about users and tools.

Use it when you think about it, and continue to put it aside when you run out.

In the distance on the stage, the man standing on a high stone pillar was pulling out a one-handed sword full of silver, struggling to introduce its origin like the surrounding audience.

Several creatures that seemed to be interested raised their right hands eagerly, wanting to take a picture of it.

Ron and Richard, who were standing in the crowd, stared at the auction with flat eyes, and after a long time, Richard suddenly spoke.

"Virgil is from the Forest of the North Wind, although I don't know why she suddenly attacked you, but in a month's 'real ball', she will also be there, Miss Anna's side I have already said hello, during this period she will not come to you again, after that, I will ask her to give you an explanation..."

"Huh?"

I didn't expect Richard to say such a paragraph, which made Ron look slightly stunned, but what he said next was to let Ron know Richard's true intentions.

“... Even though this is not a place of decay, since it has provoked me now, it is impossible to justify it without paying a little price. ”

Silently listening to Richard say this in a light tone, Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, paused, and nodded.

"I see, teacher. ”

"Well, alright, let's go, time is tight, it's time to go to the next place. ”

With that, Richard turned and squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the wooden door at the entrance.

Ron, who was behind him, glanced at the bustling hall again, and then followed.

。。。。。。

Four days later.

In a thick dark green forest, on a winding path, a black carriage drove quietly.

The wheels of the carriage pressed against the gravel, making an unpleasant 'crunch, crunch' sound, which occasionally startled the birds on the side of the road.

Driving the carriage was a tall young man in a black robe, with his half-length yellowish hair draped over his shoulders, looking very casual.

However, although he was driving the carriage, his eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, as if he was wary of something.

The young man was Ron who had come out of the ball in the small town of Moret. At this time, his current location is a forest in the southeast of the Andas Forbidden Forest.

According to Richard's instructions, the place they were going to now was the residence of another of Richard's students.

It's just that for some special reasons, there is no way to fly over that place with black sails, so I can only drive the carriage underneath and walk slowly according to the mark left by Richard.

The breeze in the forest, mixed with a faint bitter taste, gently blew Ron's cheeks and made the tall trees around him make a soft rustling sound.

The sunlight shines through the leaves on the carriage, creating dots of circular light, and the whole atmosphere has an indescribable tranquility.

Suddenly, the carriage shook as it ran over a large rock, and then a piercing shriek followed by a black shadow that lunged after Ron.

'Squeak!!'

The speed of the black shadow is very fast, and the angle of the sneak attack is also very hidden.

However, just as it was about to touch Ron's neck, there was a 'poof', and the black shadow in mid-air suddenly turned in half and smashed under Ron's wheels.

Glancing at the alienated creature like a black hornet, Ron shook his head slightly, and thrust his two-handed sword back into the scabbard at his waist.

"Twenty-two, what a nuisance..."

Although the overall strength of the alien creatures in the southeast of the Forbidden Forest was not as strong as those he had seen in the Blade Forest, the number of them was much higher than that over there.

So much so that when you walk a distance, you will be attacked from nowhere, as if these guys don't sense the danger in this carriage.

"Could it be that in addition to the geographical location, these brainless creatures are also a specialty here?"

Thinking of his destination, Ron glanced at the carriage behind him, if it weren't for the smell of rotten sea wafting from it all the time, he wouldn't even be able to sense Richard's breath, as if there was no one in the carriage.

Richard's change came from the prom in the small town of Moret.

Ron didn't know what Richard was doing at the prom other than after a strong friction with Virgil, but judging by some of his moves after he came out, Ron felt that Richard must be preparing something important.

And this important event has to do with the 'real ball' a month later.

Gently sniffing the disgusting smell that only he could smell, Ron frowned slightly, some guesses were to solve the sequelae from the Star Lake Ruins?

You know, after being in the Blade Forest for so long, he also vaguely knew what the ruins in the Star Lake were through some secret information combined with his own reasoning.

According to the records, the ruins were a place of sacrifice for an evil being called the Mother of Illusions a long time ago, and the Mother of Illusions accidentally fell for unknown reasons, and the place of sacrifice fell apart and sank to the bottom of the lake.

However, although much of the sacrificial land was destroyed, there was always something left.
