Chapter 34: Lip Service (2)

As soon as Richard finished speaking, the barbarian warrior on one side suddenly interjected.

"Brother Richard, there is something wrong with what you say. Able scratched his head and looked at Richard in surprise, "Since the wildfires have been around for a year, how can the wasteland be devoid of vegetation? I'm afraid you don't know that the most vigorous years of wildfires often grow taller and bigger in the next year." ”

Richard gave him a thumbs up.

"I'm right, it's someone else who is wrong. Because of her mistakes, it would seem a little problematic to let my words come out. Richard stared contemptuously at the Pegasus knight on the side, then looked back at Able with a grateful expression.

The barbarian nodded at him as well.

Although he didn't understand what Richard was smiling at him for, Able was just a stupid response at this moment. This simple barbarian warrior had no idea that he had just made a beautiful assist.

"Well, Your Excellency the Knightess, now answer me, why didn't the wildfires burn the wasteland and let these plants flourish year after year?"

Looking at Richard's defiant face, Aprile wanted to tear it alive.

The female knight was not a fool either, how could she not know Richard's calculations, she blurted out, "You know I don't mean that? That's just an aphorism, haven't you heard it?"

She looked at Richard with four eyes and sneered, "You said that wildfire can't burn the wasteland, then I'll ask you, what can you do to do this? Even if you attract the power of the gods, you will only succumb to their vitality......"

When April was about to say more, Richard replied coldly, "Who said there was no way?"

The female knight stared at Richard in amazement, her beautiful eyes wide.

Not only her, but everyone else looked at Richard in amazement, completely unexpecting him to say this.

Even Pastor Angelo, who had been looking for an opportunity to intervene and reconcile in the middle, could not have imagined that Richard would answer this way.

The well-informed old man looked at Richard with a strange look, and he said, "Little brother Richard, you're not kidding, the grass in the wasteland ......"

Waving his hand at the old man, Richard smiled strangely.

He looked around and made a gesture of ease.

"It's very simple, everyone here can do it, as long as you have that kind of patience......"

"Do you know what you're talking about?" "Aprili felt like Richard was going crazy.

Everyone around me agrees.

The grass in the wasteland is like mountains and seas, it is something that has not changed since eternity.

When the chatter reached its peak, Richard couldn't help but laugh, and he glanced around again, speaking slowly in a firm tone.

"The way I'm talking about this is to plant crops on it. Now that you've planted wheat, can the grass in the wasteland grow as it used to? Isn't that easy? Isn't it possible for anyone here to do it?"

His words were like a pebble falling into a pond of calm, and immediately rippled in circles.

Everyone around him suddenly realized.

"So that's what happened?"

"Yes, he's right, it's true!"

"That's right, if you plant wheat in the wasteland, the grass will not grow. ”

"Why didn't I think of that?"

......

With a circle of discussions, April also fell into deep thought, she had no idea that Richard would answer like this.

The three barbarian warriors directly opposite her were all stunned as if their heads had been opened, pondering Richard's words.

"And the reason I ask you this question is to tell you that the best way to remove grass from the wasteland is to plant crops on it. Richard saw that he had captured a city first, and then used this as a breakthrough point and began a series of fierce pursuits.

He stared at April, and said slowly, but surely, "Planting wheat in the wasteland is a more laborious task than the ferocious, raging wildfires." It requires the farmers to work hard year after year, so that weeds do not grow in the field. You didn't think you could do it, it's because your eyes haven't seen it wisely!"

Richard raised his voice, "Violent tactics like wildfire, although they can work for a while, they can't last long. Just as wildfires continue to flourish in the wilderness. To deal with evil and extinguish darkness, what it needs is a sustained effort that does not lose to the years, and it is a spring breeze and drizzle like planting wheat, and only by continuous cultivation can we get the final results. The world is complex, so it can completely ignore what you call 'wildfire'. ”

He was in the clouds, and the place was so quiet that only the wind was blowing.

Richard smiled, he felt that his mouth was much deeper.

April was furious when he was talking nonsense.

She obviously felt that Richard was playing tricks, but in a hurry, she couldn't find any loopholes in these words. The knightess gritted her teeth, but finally acquiesced in her defeat.

It's just very unwilling!

The Pegasus she was riding snorted repeatedly, as if she was surprised how this fellow, who had just been inferior to her, could say such a reasonable thing.

"I can't tell you, but you're not right!" Aprile glared at Richard viciously, like a skilful scoundrel.

Richard struck back with a fluttering blow.

"Now that you've noticed something wrong, you might as well point it out here. ”

"I don't care, but you have to give me what you have in your hand, hurry up......"

Before she could finish speaking, the female knight had already flung the reins.

April's appearance of preparing to rob her has caused her a lot of criticism, and a bunch of people feel that she is a little vexatious.

"That's enough, April. Pastor Angelo even let the horse face forward, directly between her and Richard, and he said very seriously: "You calm me down, can this kind of thing be reckless?"

"Uncle Angelo, listen to me......"

April felt aggrieved.

But before she could finish speaking, she was immediately interrupted.

"You listen to me! Don't forget that you're a paladin, not a robber! Don't do things as you like, you have to be polite!" the old man put on an angry face.

April looked at him, and her already angry mood was like pouring cold water on her.

This heroic female knight, at this moment, in front of the elders she has always respected, is aggrieved like a little cat who has been taught a lesson.

She was angry and helpless.

Richard saw that his plan had worked, and he couldn't help but touch the sweat on his head.

He was also afraid that there would be a sudden fight here.

Just as Pastor Angelo turned around, ready to apologize to Richard and lead the people away, two more groups of people came to the street.

A group came from the front, the army of the Beto family who had just walked over.

At the head of the pack was a young knight dressed in full-body armor, and the black horse he rode was obviously of a different breed, and his body was much better than April's Pegasus.

The full set of armor on the young man's body, although identical to that of his subordinates at the back, was clearly a replica of the Santor suit. But there was light all over his body, and the elemental power surged out, turning into a puff of light that flew around him, like a swarm of fireflies on a summer night.

Thirty or forty people stepped back together, and the young knight wearing a metal helmet in the shape of a dragon's head slowly parted the crowd.

Due to the brilliance of the elements, he is like the god of war who controls the dragon horse in mythology, and almost when he walks there, he will be noticed by a group of people.

"April Knight, what's going on here?"

As soon as the handsome young man arrived at the tavern, his eyes caught a glimpse of the broken walls that had been blasted by magic.

Then, he stared straight at the vicious dogs crouching to the left and right, and there were three burly savages standing beside him. Richard's dress as a wizard made his eyes narrow.

And the moment he looked at them clearly, the handsome face of the blond young man had changed color slightly.

The hideous tattoos on the barbarian warriors made his heart tighten. As a descendant of the Beto family, he is not a man who has never seen the world.

"Do you need my help here?"

Baird Beto politely shouted to April.

Like Aprili at the beginning, he was also frightened by the outfit of the Richard Four, thinking that this was a group of gangsters who dared to find a murderer in broad daylight.

As soon as the young knight had finished speaking, Princess Audrey came from the other side of the street with another group of men.

April's dispute with Richard brought the entire army to a temporary standstill, and the team that followed behind quickly noticed the anomaly.

In particular, the bright silver armor of the paladins can be seen from afar.

As soon as they crossed the road, everyone knew what was going on here.

Audrey, who was carrying a longbow on his shoulder and pretending to be a longbow hunter, immediately ran forward when he saw Richard and April facing each other.

The black-haired beauty looked at Richard vigilantly, and said in a tone of lesson: "What did you do with this guy again?"

Her intimate appearance with Richard attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

In terms of pure appearance, the Pegasus knight Aprile is really very good, but compared to this ancient princess of El, she is still a little inferior.

Many of the male compatriots present snorted coldly when they saw such a beautiful woman running in front of the disheveled Richard, and talking intimately.

"It's not me who is making trouble with others this time, it's someone else who is making trouble with me. Richard looked at Audrey helplessly.

His mouth was turned towards Eprinu on one side.

Richard stretched out his hands and expressed helplessness, "Sometimes, when people sit in this chair, trouble can fall from the sky. ”

He sneered, smirking.

"Brother Richard, I am really embarrassed when you say that. Pastor Angelo smiled wryly.

The kind-hearted old man said helplessly: "Anyway, I'm sorry for this today." Aprili has just participated in a battle to exterminate demons, and she is in a state of excitement, so please forgive me......"

Knowing what Richard was saying, April, the female knight next to the old man, was eager to spit in Richard's face. She snorted disdainfully, her beautiful eyes burning with hatred.

Don't let me find a chance, or I'll tear you off your disguise and tear you to pieces!" the knight calculated viciously.

But she also understands that today can only draw an end.

And then, just then, another episode unfolded.
