Chapter 136 Missing
"I can bring her out!" the mysterious woman stressed again.
Raymond looked at her and said word by word, "There is Fasqi there now, as well as the knights of the Eternal Dragon Palace. What's more, entering and exiting the floating islands will inevitably leave traces that cannot be completely undetected. Once this matter is big, it will inevitably be known by His Majesty. After your majesty personally inflicted a heavy blow on Kane today, you robbed Luoqi that night? Isn't this tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to your majesty? Have you thought about the consequences?"
The mysterious woman said indifferently: "What can be the consequences? He is my father after all." β
Raymond roared: "There are only two princes who died in the hands of His Majesty! their offense is definitely not as strict as what you plan to do!"
The mysterious woman was silent, she knew that what Raymond said was the truth. The bloodthirsty Philip is not lightly angry, but once he is angry, he will inevitably see blood.
Raymond's voice then softened, and he said, "One more thing, I won't let you die to save other women. It doesn't matter who the other party is. β
The mysterious woman's lips opened, but she didn't make any sound. But from the slight tremor of her body, you can see the excitement of this moment.
As night fell, the seven-stringed full moon in the sky began to shine. Under the brilliant moonlight, Raymond's eyes were as deep as the sea, and his voice was firm and gentle: "My time is running out, and it is impossible for the Joseph family to break with their current ally Mensa for me." Whether Lucky falls into Richard's hands, or returns to Mensa, or marries Duke Schumpeter, it's the worst outcome for me, it makes no difference. But for her, the three endings are completely different, the former can still see a glimmer of hope, and the latter two options are completely hell. β
"So, I want her to stay in Akmund, to stay with Richard, my old enemy. β
No matter how people's hearts change, the crescent moon in the sky above Fushide always follows the same trajectory, rising and falling.
On the floating island at this moment, Richard was standing in the warehouse of the castle, watching the old butler and a group of people count the boxes of weapons and equipment that had just arrived. There are more than fifty enchanted boxes of weapons, and although more than a dozen people count and sort them out together, it will take a long time.
Richard had just used Sacrifice and was unable to use his magic for the time being, so he couldn't meditate or draw a composition. And completing the next stage of the development plan is not too heavy work, it only took a lot of time, so Richard is now in a small leisure time with complete idleness, I don't know why at this moment, all the shadows in his heart are Luoqi.
The girl had surprised Richard again and again, and she had now become a very sensitive factor that could touch the nerves of the three families of Akmund, Mensah, and Schumpeter. The longer Lucky stays on the floating island, the longer Mensa and Schumpeter's dignity will be trampled through the dust and mud.
But there is a quality in Luoqi, that is, it feels like a sleeping volcano, usually it seems to be silent, it can even accumulate into a lake, grow green grass, but once it erupts, it will be earth-shattering. It is this trait that sets her apart from other women and makes people obsessed. No wonder Mensa would name a plane after her. While this was only a means of increasing the value of her trade, at least her appearance in front of Richard proved that she did have that value.
At this time, another attendant brought the mana crystal. Richard opened the sealed box, glanced at the hundreds of magic crystals neatly arranged inside, nodded, and was about to close the lid. These crystals are intended to be used for dimensional teleportation, and the excess will be brought to Faro for use by the teleportation array and brood over there.
This time, Richard was going to bring back at least twenty warriors and foot knights, as well as ten level 10 magicians. Fortunately, after strengthening the plane passage to Faro, the teleportation cost for each person has been reduced from 20,000 to 15,000, but the teleportation fee for dozens of people is still huge, which makes Richard's heart ache.
However, looking at the magic crystal in the box, Richard suddenly had a new idea, and it gradually became irrepressible. He told his attendants to continue their preparations, and he hurried down the stairs, and at the end he was getting faster and faster, almost all the way.
After passing through several well-guarded checkpoints, Richard made his way to the depths of the castle's beneath. An ultra-long-range communication and teleportation magic array for the floating island's external communication is built here. The operation of teleporting the magic circle was very simple for Richard, and he skillfully selected the coordinates of the dark blue, and then began to insert magic crystals into the magic circle. It wasn't until the one hundred and ninth magic crystal was inserted that the communication magic array slowly lit up, and the shining magic light reflected Richard's face in a flickering light, cloudy and uncertain.
The magic circle was finally fully lit, and Richard stood in front of the magic circle, waiting patiently.
A moment later, a familiar and sharp voice came from the magic array: "Who interrupted my work? Damn, if it weren't for the fact that this is an expensive ultra-long-range magic communication, I wouldn't have come here myself!
It was a familiar, very characteristic word, and Richard could almost see through the magic circle that on the far other side, a gray dwarf was jumping on his feet and shouting.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the classic image of the gray dwarf to appear in the center of the communication magic array. As soon as he appeared, he suddenly hugged his head, stared at Richard, and said, "You...... You...... Are you...... Richard?"
Richard was stunned, not understanding why Black Gold was so surprised, and he couldn't even recognize himself. He said a little inexplicably: "Who else could it be if it wasn't me?"
"Why did you get that beard?" shouted the gray dwarf, almost jumping to his feet.
Richard was stunned again, touched the jagged short beard on his face, and said, "But there are many dwarves who have praised my beard recently, is there anything wrong?"
Black Gold completely exploded: "What are you not good at learning, you have to learn Gordon! That guy is a guy with the same taste as a dwarf, and has no concept of numbers at all! His brain is full of muscles! Dwarves, what are they?! They boast, we must oppose it! If they like it, we must spit on it!"
"We?"
"Yes, we! We're from navy, and we're a truly refined bunch of people who know math and art!" The gray dwarves shouted as a matter of course.
Only then did Richard remember that the gray dwarves and ordinary dwarves were in a feud relationship, and as long as they met, they would probably kill you to the death. Seeing that the roar of the gray dwarf showed no signs of stopping, Richard had to remind him: "Mr. Black Gold, the communication cost of the long-range magic array is very expensive!"
"What does that have to do with me, anyway, it's all your magic crystals that are burning right now!" Black Gold didn't feel heartache at all.
Richard laughed and said, "All right, Mr. Black Gold! Let's get down to business, I heard that the teacher has just fallen asleep?"
The gray dwarf's expression flashed a hint of unnaturalness, and he said, "Yes, Your Highness has just fallen asleep, and it may take a few years to sleep!"
Richard's eyesight is extremely powerful now, how could he let go of the strange expression of the gray dwarf? His heart sank, but he asked quietly, "Why did the teacher suddenly fall asleep?"
"For the sake of ...... Restore fΓΉ strength. For His Highness, sleep is the fastest way to regain strength. The gray dwarf decided to tell the truth anyway.
"Why did the teacher regain her strength, was she injured?" Richard continued.
"This ...... Yes. The gray dwarf hesitated, but nodded.
Richard keenly caught something in the gray dwarf's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Is it related to me?"
Heijin smiled bitterly and said, "So to speak. β
"Be specific!"
Heijin sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said: "That's the case, after Your Highness received the plane coordinates you transmitted, he directly teleported to the Faro plane, and then he had a big battle with what he didn't know in the Faro plane, and he was injured and returned. His Highness rested for a few days, and then went to the outer plane again, and when he came back this time, he confessed a few things, and then directly closed himself up and began to sleep in order to regain his strength. When he came back the second time, His Highness was much more seriously injured than the first, but he didn't say who he was fighting with, only vaguely revealed that he had something to do with Faro. After sleeping under His Highness, a few of our old fellows analyzed it, and we all felt that the object of His Highness's two great battles was likely to be ......"
Black Gold took a deep breath before saying, "...... The gods of the Pharo plane!"
Richard was silent for a moment before he asked dryly, "Why did the teacher fight the gods of the Faro plane?"
The gray dwarves began to wipe their sweat, and the image of the magic circle began to wobble, as if the communication had been disturbed in some way.
"Black gold! If you dare to cut off the communication, I'll fly straight to the deep blue!"
Richard shouted angrily and startled the gray dwarf, he only now found that Richard had a kind of domineering at some point, although it was far from the realm of Gordon that made people cower involuntarily, but Richard was angry, and now he was also a little powerful.
"Well, but you can't sue Your Highness in the future, I'm suing you for these things. Of course, what I'm talking about is just some speculation, just speculation!" Heijin emphasized several times in a row before he said, "Your Highness went to Faro for the first time, and rushed over almost as soon as he received the coordinates. Moreover, His Highness rushed over by extracting spider crystal energy and directly constructing a dimensional passage. You know, this method will basically teleport outside the crystal wall of the plane, and it is easy to attract the attention of the gods of the plane when breaking through the wall. It's as flamboyant as running to someone else's door and kicking the door open. But almost as soon as His Highness left, he was beaten back again, and all that rushed out of the mutilated dimensional portal at that time was surging divine power! However, although His Highness was a wolf this time, he was not seriously injured, and with His Highness's physique surpassing that of a dragon, he only needed to rest for two days. His Royal Highness is so wolf-like, most likely because he went too quickly, and as a result, he was caught off guard. But the second time, it's different......"
