"Before I can answer that question, you have to answer me. ”

Richard, who was sitting on the east side of the oak table, looked at the three women opposite, from Heloise to Diana to Audrey, and he spoke seriously, "According to that script, I really have to prove that I am a smart person, will you help me......?

However, when he said this, the other side shook their heads together.

"Your talent is indeed rare, but it's not there yet. Diana said to him regretfully, "I consulted with Heloise that day, and at least until her time, the rules remained the same. If we are to play our current role well, those promises must be strictly followed. ”

She and Heloise glanced at each other, then waved their hands at Richard helplessly.

"What has been done for you in the Mercenary Hall is already an exception. If we really follow that script, I'm afraid the next thing we have to do is to choose a better place for you to go and then part ways with you. But if you do, you will return to square one. ”

Princess Audrey, who put on a mocking face on the side, also added.

"In my hometown, there is a saying that 'the Buteriks don't value a bag of gold'. She shook her finger at Richard and signaled to him that he couldn't, "The Butreik family is the richest family in our El. Even if a whole bag of gold is placed in front of them, they will not be moved. You are the bag of gold, even if most people can lose their minds for you, but in the face of the real rich, you are dispensable. ”

Heloise just stared at him coldly.

Although he did not speak, the meaning was obvious.

When Richard understood, his face was under great pressure.

If you want to use the Wind Man family to talk about things, you must follow other people's settings.

But this setting is very deceitful.

To atone for their stupidity, the Wind People force their allies to stand by and watch their downfall, unless a smart person emerges from their descendants. Otherwise, to help them is to insult them. This excessive, even a little brain-dead testamentary family rules is rooted in the dignity of an aristocratic family, which is quite incomprehensible.

And in the script set by Richard, the three Audreys are the kind of allies who can only stand by and watch.

The forces they come from have a covenant with the Wind People family to help each other. But out of respect, they kept that promise. But for the sake of past friendship, he secretly observed several generations of Richard's ancestors for hundreds of years, just waiting for the appearance of a smart person to revive the Fengren family.

But the problem is that those who can not forget their original intentions and wait for hundreds of years for a promise are probably only those organizations with huge power and a long heritage. In front of these people, he Richard is indeed just that insignificant bag of gold.

Richard was silent.

It's been a long time since he came to Roland's world, and he knows that the minds of people in this world are quite old-fashioned, thinking about glory and dignity all day long. The greater the power and the longer the inheritance, the more prominent it will be in this regard. Especially in the face of some things involving their own honor and reputation, it is really a promise.

"Well, it seems that I have to be a smart person. ”

Richard was actually mentally prepared before, at least when he walked into the mercenary hall, he was very conscious. But what happened later made his heart that wanted to be lazy ready to move.

Just as he was feeling a little diazed, Richard suddenly looked up, and then looked around.

Now, he and Audrey are in the enlarged cellar.

Through Audrey's efforts, this originally airtight place has been arranged into a small fortress with many magic traps.

It's not safe, but at least it saves them from worrying about having ears on the wall.

Richard said to the man in front of him with an anxious face: "I remember, one of the agreements between us is that you have to be my master, so let's start now." ”

"You've got a lot on your mind. Audrey scoffed, "I think you'd better think about your situation first and come up with a way to prove that you're smart......"

However, her words were immediately interrupted.

Richard looked categorical, "That's what I thought!"

Seeing that the few people in front of him were still puzzled, he didn't explain.

"I'll talk to you later, let's talk about it later, let's start now. ”

Richard had an idea at this moment, and thought of the small goal he had set here before - to become the best at outwitting.

In retrospect, wasn't that the way out for him?

After all, a discovery like a sacrifice can indeed prove that he is a smart person, but once it is taken out, is there a difference between it and looking for death?

As for the knowledge stored in his head, this is a hole card that cannot be easily used.

Richard first looked at Diana, who was directly opposite.

Looking at this red-haired beauty, Richard asked carefully, "Sister Diana, don't you know the Sheen rune, can you explain to me the knowledge here?" and alchemy, I've always been curious about this......

Before he could finish his words, there was a special development.

"I do know the Sheen rune, but I don't quite understand what alchemy is. ”

As soon as Diana's words came out, Richard stared at her in surprise.

But without talking to Richard, Diana looked at Heloise who was amazed, "At that time, I was surprised by the term you said. I've really heard of alchemy, and it looks like it has something to do with the Sheen rune?"

Princess Audrey, who was sitting to her left, also picked up the topic.

"She's right, I don't know what alchemy is. ”

The categorical determination of the two of them made Richard stunned.

"No way, all the knightly novels I've read have seen alchemy, some of which are even thousands of years old. Like the one where I found out how to sacrifice to Flax, the main character is an alchemist......"

Muttering to himself, Richard suddenly slapped his head.

He suddenly remembered those romance costume dramas in his previous life.

Modern lines, weird costumes, and inexplicable plots......

Originally, Richard thought that this was the creator's brain-dead and did not know how to respect history. It wasn't until later that he realized that these guys were blind to history, not to mention respecting history, they didn't even know what history was. If you really want to take the exam, it is estimated that you can't compete with high school students.

In that era when education was widespread and there was a lot of information, this kind of thing could happen, not to mention this civilization level was only in the Middle Ages.

Learning history from novels is really not reliable at all.

He looked at Heloise, who was also a little surprised.

"It seems that alchemy did not exist at all in your time. Or has appeared, but not by that name. "That is, it is very likely that the system of power is still changing." ”

He looked at Audrey and Diana.

"You were one in the time, and in the time of Sister Heloise, it may have been another......"
