At the critical moment, Richard suddenly had a countermeasure, hugged the quicksand hard, and said, "You are you, and you are different from everyone else." Also, of course I'm your man! If you want to change men, there are no doors!"

"Phew!" Quicksand took another sip, gently letting Richard go, not bothering him with his cunning.

It's dawn.

Richard and his followers returned to the Black Rose Castle. Most of the followers will continue to cross the plane and head to Faro, and the Crimson Duchy is advancing in the ancestral highlands, so it is natural to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. And Richard and Quicksand will return to Faust first, and then Quicksand will stay in the Eternal Dragon Palace, while Richard will continue to hone in the Peerless Battlefield.

At the Black Rose Castle, a letter was waiting for Richard. There was no signature on the letter, only the attendant left a note saying that it was sent from Deep Blue with an ultra-long-range magic teleportation array.

Blue?

Hearing the word, Richard's heart twitched slightly. Deep blue now has a special meaning for him, not only as a place for him to learn and grow, but also as a source of the greatest humiliation in his life. He was beaten to the ground for the first time, and then he was driven out of the deep blue like a dog.

Although he finally knew that Taichu had no unfavorable thoughts about Su Hailun at all, the words he said were like a red-hot soldering iron, imprinted on Richard's heart all the time, burning his soul.

In Richard's mind, if he doesn't defeat Taichu, he is not even qualified to return to Deep Blue, let alone take a look at Su Helen who is sleeping deeply.

On the Desperate Battlefield, Richard couldn't even give himself a little more rest. As long as he slept a little later, he would wake up suddenly, and then the bitter scolding at the beginning would ring in his ears. Every sentence stabbed Richard out of breath. Then he will immediately get up and continue along the established path. Richard had the will and patience, and one of his wishes was to repay him by giving Taichu a slap in the face one day in the future.

And now, Deep Blue actually has a letter?

Richard did not rush to take it apart, but closed his eyes and thought quietly for a while. Now he is still not a match for the Void, let alone Taichu. Thinking of this, Richard settled down and opened the envelope.

There was only a blank piece of stationery in the envelope with nothing on it.

Richard couldn't help but be stunned, but at the moment when he unfolded the letter, he suddenly felt a very thin magical energy shoot out of the paper, which flicked on Richard's body and fell back into the letter.

Then the letter trembled slightly, and Taichu's voice actually sounded: "Richard, I know it's you." No one else can hear what I'm saying. Listen up! I'm dying now, I can't stay here any longer, you hurry up and come to Deep Blue, I have something to tell you. I'm not kidding!"

Richard was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Taichu meant. But what shocked him even more was that the power of the Aether Beginning would suddenly become seriously injured and dying? What kind of existence could make him hurt like this? Richard had not seen a legend, although Tai Chu had just been promoted to a legend, his legendary ability was obviously extremely powerful, and it was by no means comparable to ordinary legendary powerhouses.

The magic on the letter paper had been exhausted, Richard thought about it and still carefully burned it to ashes with magic flames, and then went to find quicksand, so that she could go back to the Eternal Dragon Hall by herself first, and Richard himself went to the deep blue through the ultra-long-range magic portal.

As soon as Richard walked out of the teleportation array, two mages who had been waiting next to him greeted him and saluted Richard: "His Highness Taichu has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with us." ”

The place where Taichu and Richard met was on the top floor of dark blue, and it had been repaired so that there were no traces of the destruction of the violent force, but as soon as Richard stepped out of the teleportation array, he frowned, and then calmed his somewhat fluctuating feelings.

Two chairs and a table were placed on the wide platform, and Taichu was sitting there drinking slowly.

When Richard saw Taichu, the corners of his eyes involuntarily shrank, and then he regained his composure, walked to the table casually, sat down in the chair opposite Taichu, and looked around.

From this vantage point, you can overlook the winter ice floe bay, and the scenery is extremely oppressive, and there is a magnificent flavor. But now it's the depths of winter, the cold style is cold, and the ears are filled with the whistling wind, and those who are slightly weaker in strength can't sit here for long at all. But Tai Chu only wore a thin mage robe, which made people feel cold when they saw it.

Taichu looked at Richard playfully, his eyes still full of banter and laughter.

Richard naturally couldn't give any good face, even if he knew that Taichu had no ill will towards Su Hailun, but this did not mean that he had no ill will towards Richard. Such a strong insult, and in front of a group of great magisters, is long beyond the scope of any joke.

Richard came back for Su Helen, not to give in to Taichu. He would never be able to smile at the beginning of the treatment of himself like this. So Richard sat upright, his face as calm as a frozen ice floe.

"Yes, quite good! It seems that you have gained a lot in the last year or so. This progress is reasonable. Taichu praised.

Richard frowned and said, "More than a year?"

"Well, it's more than a year. Do you think that only the priests of the Eternal Dragon Hall know how to track the passage of time?" Richard was speechless by the initial rhetorical question, which he really thought, and so did most of Norland.

Seeing Richard's expression, Taichu smiled slightly and said, "Richard, if you want to become a real powerhouse, then don't rely on the strength of others, you have to rely on yourself." You have to learn to analyze and grasp for yourself the rules involved in the path of future power, the more the better. Time and space are rules that are almost all involved in most fields of power, and you shouldn't give up exploring this area just because you have a quicksand next to you. ”

Although he admits that Taichu has a point, he is insinuating quicksand, which makes Richard quite uncomfortable, saying: "Quicksand didn't make me give up, on the contrary, she will tell me the rules I need to know." ”

Taichu smiled faintly: "She sued you, it must be right?"

This sentence immediately made Richard's face gloomy, and he said coldly: "I believe that Quicksand will never lie to me!"

The word "never", Richard bit very hard.

"Well, since you said so, then I believe it too. Tai Chu smiled faintly, and did not intend to argue with Richard on this matter, but changed the conversation and asked, "But what if what she knows is also wrong?

Richard was speechless when asked. Of course, it is impossible for a divine person to fully comprehend the relevant rules, otherwise he would not be a divine person, but a god. Divine dependents have a natural advantage in the field related to the gods, but the divine favorites of the same god also have a little comprehension of the rules. How much comprehension actually means how much misunderstanding there is. Therefore, in this sense, the rules of time and space of quicksand and Richard, not to mention whether Richard can understand it, are bound to be wrong.

"Who can comprehend all the rules, or all the rules of a certain field?" retorted Richard.

Taichu smiled, "It seems that you have learned agnosticism well. But that shouldn't be the reason, you know what I'm talking about. Let's put it another way, if what quicksand told you is true, you also have to have the ability to discriminate, right?"

"You didn't call me here just to talk to me, did you?" asked Richard faintly.

Taichu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course not, I'm just reminding you by the way." Don't rely too much on the Eternal Dragon Palace, it's almost common sense among the truly powerful. ”

"Thank you, I'll remember. Richard replied.

"Whether you want to remember or not, it's none of my business. I'll just remind you this once, but for the sake of how hard you've worked over the past year or so. Now, let's get down to business!"

Taichu didn't rush to continue the conversation, but picked up his wine glass and drank it slowly, tapping his hand lightly on the table. His gaze fell on the frozen ice floe bay, but he didn't know where the focus was. Richard still sat quietly, not urging him.

After a long time, Taichu sighed softly and said, "It's a beautiful place, isn't it? When you see the ice floe bay, you don't want to go again." ”

Richard also looked sideways at the floating ice bay, a scene he had been looking at for five years. Now when I revisit the old place, I see the ice floe bay in winter, and I only feel the cold, but I can't find any beauty. Richard's own artistic attainments are definitely not low, and he can't appreciate the strange angle of Taichu.

Taichu also knew Richard's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Of course this is nothing in your eyes. But if you stay in a place where you can't see or perceive anything, you'll find the scenery fascinating. And the time in Deep Blue is the most memorable day I have ever had. ”

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Richard, and asked, "Richard, I know that your relationship with the teacher is very unusual, and I also know that you are willing to do anything for the teacher." However, there are many things that do not require courage alone. How much do you know about teachers?"

This question immediately stopped Richard. Aside from the Deep Blue Aria, Richard didn't seem to know more about Helen Su than an ordinary person. But Taichu didn't intend to end there, but continued to ask: "Do you know the teacher's race? Do you know why she founded Deep Blue? Do you know the real meaning of Deep Blue to the teacher? Do you know who the teacher's enemies are? Do you know what the real danger the teacher is facing?"

Five questions in a row made Richard confused. Only then did he realize that his understanding of the legendary mage was actually far less than that of Taichu.
