Still, Richard couldn't shake the urge to smash everything in the room. When there are many trivial things to deal with to a certain extent, people will always have such feelings.

The walls of the study were still scratched and disorganized, just like Richard was in the mood right now. But the line of words left by Bai Ye was extremely eye-catching in the mess, Richard simply stood by the wall, carefully understanding the artistic conception in the words, slowly, under the inspiration of murderous energy, his mood finally calmed down.

Next to Wen Jiàn on the desk, there is a small but delicate goblet crystal cup, which contains four crystal diamonds with black gas lingering. It was the shadow diamond left behind by Richard after he killed the four shadow creatures, and it was extremely rare, and few people could recognize such a priceless treasure.

Richard was in such a hurry that he forgot all these things, and threw them on the desk at random, but the attentive old butler put them away and put them on the desk in a container. This is also the basic principle of the attendants, the paper that has not been thrown into the wastebasket will never be cleaned up without authorization, and unfamiliar items will not be thrown away even if they seem useless.

Richard just glanced at the shadow diamonds and prepared to put them in his pocket. But he suddenly snorted, and his gaze fell back to the crystal cup.

There were a few tiny marks on the shadow diamond and the crystal cup, which would have been almost impossible to notice if it weren't for Richard's keen eye. These traces were instantly restored in Richard's mind, and slowly expanded into a fingerprint and half of the palm print, and even the direction of contact and the formation process were also displayed.

These shadow diamonds seem to be held in the palm of someone's hand in love, and then reluctantly put back in their original place. The man's movements seemed to be extremely cautious, and in the end there were only a few faint arcs that adhered to them, and those traces were very new, and they had not yet been stained by dust, so it should not have been long.

Richard quietly sat back at his desk and pulled the bell rope that summoned his attendants. A moment later, there was a soft knock on the door, and a maid walked in and asked respectfully, "Lord Richard, what do you command?"

Richard glanced up at her, then continued to deal with Wen Jiàn, and said lightly: "Go and call Fasiqi, and say that I am back." ”

"Okay. The maid saluted, and went out of the room.

"Wait a minute, drop by and bring this to the butler. Richard stopped the maid, got up from the table, and walked towards her.

The maid bowed slightly and stretched out her hands to pick up the text in Richard's hand. But Richard's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then his faint voice came: "Your neck is beautiful!"

The fluff on the back of the maid's neck stood up almost instantly!

However, the electric light on Richard's body surged, and the text in his hand instantly turned into countless fragments, and a bone short sword appeared from it. Richard's hand still seemed to maintain a slow lifting motion, but it brought out an afterimage!

The maid didn't even have time to stand up completely, and a dark gray fighting aura suddenly burst out from her body, like the mist of the early winter night, instantly surrounding her chest and abdomen, and she was about to envelop the whole person.

But Richard's hand fell steadily, and the short sword pierced into the maid's belly with unmistakable accuracy!

Time seemed to freeze in an instant, and the short sword in Richard's hand was vibrating violently. In an instant, Richard didn't know how many swords he had stabbed, and now he could only control the range of the sword as much as possible, and he couldn't let each sword fall on the same spot like the white night.

The dark gray fog was still spreading, and the two sides were almost close together, and even the other's breathing and heartbeats could be heard. But even at such a close distance, the figure of the maid in Richard's field of vision had disappeared, the gray mist was rolling, not thick, and through the fog, the background of the room could be seen, and the human body that was close at hand just now seemed to be gone.

But Richard did not hesitate or panic at all, and the short sword in his hand still kept coming out and out!

When the dagger stands still, time continues to rush forward. The gray mist dissipated abruptly, as if it had never been there.

The maid was still standing, but the positions of the two sides had been reversed. She looked down in amazement and saw a thick blood mist burst out of her abdomen, and there was a terrifying hole there, and every qiē inside was ground into pulp.

The fighting energy in her body was lost in an instant, and if it weren't for Richard's short sword still rubbing into her body, she would not even be able to stand. She reluctantly looked up at Richard and said in a clearly changed voice, "How are you ...... See?"

Richard held the maid by the shoulder, lest she really fall on top of him, and then smiled and said, "You should not touch the shadow diamond on my desk, a maid and butler would not have recognized it." Also, there is a change in the sound of your knocking on the door. ”

"How can you remember the sound of a maid knocking on the door?" the maid's eyes widened in surprise.

"Unfortunately, I was able to remember. Richard replied lightly.

The maid had a fierce look in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "But you...... It won't be long before I get skilled!"

Richard laughed: "That's what I want to say, too." I've run out of patience with you guys. Don't worry, I know I can't ask anything out of your mouth, but I will remember you, identify you, and include your relatives in my target of attack and destruction. You don't have to look at me like this, I just want to use you as an example and tell those who have ulterior motives that whoever wants to kill me must be prepared to pay the price of extermination. ”

"You're a ...... Tyrant ......" The maid's eyes finally showed horror, and she cursed resentfully, and the brilliance in her eyes was rapidly eroding.

"It's a pity that you don't have a chance to accuse me in court. Richard said lightly, then took a step back and let the maid's body fall to the ground.

Richard pulled the bell rope again, and a moment later the old butler walked in, and was immediately taken aback at the sight of the bloody scene.

"This is a killer who has already been killed by me. As for the original maid, most of the corpses were hidden in some corner of the castle at the moment, and someone was sent to search the castle. Find someone to drag the body away and give it to Agamemnon, who has the means to find out the killer's identity. In addition, call someone to clean up the study. Richard commanded.

The old butler took the order, and a few moments later several guards and attendants entered the study, dragged the body away, and cleaned the blood from the floor. Richard quickly reviewed the essay behind his desk, as if nothing had happened.

After a few moments, there was another knock on the door of the study, and Fasqi walked in softly. Richard raised his head, smiled at her, and said, "My memory is not very good lately, and I can't remember some things for the time being, don't worry." ”

Fasqi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I ...... I shouldn't have avoided you to let the killer sneak into your study. ”

Richard smiled charmingly and said, "Being able to send such an inferior killer means that my enemies can't sit still." Every day I live, they fall into an inextricable fear. But I don't want that to happen too much, and I've been getting impatient lately. I feel like it's time to teach certain guys a lesson and let them sober up and not think I've forgotten everything. ”

Fasqi suddenly felt that Richard had become strange, a little strange. And she felt very uncomfortable standing in the room at the moment, not because of the remaining trace of blood in the air, but because of the piercing murderous intent that filled her entire consciousness from nowhere.

She had already seen the corpse of the killer who pretended to be a maid, it was a level sixteen killer who was good at disguise and escape, and was a very dangerous character. In many cases, he was not much less dangerous than a Sanctuary Assassin. But how did Richard see through her disguise, and how did he do it by killing her lightly?

At this time, the killing intent in Fasqi's perception became clearer and clearer, and the direction was about to come out, and the cold hair on the back of her neck suddenly stood upside down, and she turned back like lightning. Finally, I saw the notched walls next to the bookshelves, and the line of murderous life on the wall.

"White night?" Fasqi cried out.

"To be exact, only that line of life is left by Bai Ye, and the rest are my works. Richard's voice came from behind Faski.

Fasqi glanced at the knife marks all over the wall again, and felt a chill in his heart again. She could already see that the scars had landed on the wall at about the same moment, and Fasqi felt that it would be very difficult to deal with such a stormy attack, even if it was just a random slash.

Fortunately, judging from the nicks, the attack power of each knife is not very high, which is the only thing that makes her feel better. If it was Fasqi himself who was attacked, he might be able to move his position at a low cost and try to regain the initiative. Thinking of this, her heart moved slightly, and she seemed to understand a little bit how the killer could be killed almost without a trace of resistance.

Richard took out a copy from the text on the table, handed it to Fasqi, and said, "You see, after I announced that I was going to openly recruit candidate Constructed Knights from the entire Akmund clan, there were many free Akmund warriors who responded, and I think there will be more of them in a while." So, I wanted to make a change to the original plan. The first is to prepare to expand the scope of recruitment, in addition to the candidate construction knights, but also to prepare a large number of infantry knights. All Free Akmund warriors above level 10 and under the age of thirty-five can sign up. The second is the new treatment of infantry knights, which will be implemented with reference to the average level of the seventh-tier floating island giants. ”

Fasqi was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Richard, do you know what it means to refer to the average of the floating island giants? Even if it's only the seventh layer, you'll go bankrupt!"

Referring to the average level of the floating island giants, it means more than doubling the treatment of the Akmund family's original foot knights. The Akmund freedom fighters were notoriously high, which meant that if Richard were to recruit them, the additional expenses could be in the millions. For any Akmund, this is an unaffordable amount of money. Even the Marquis of Sauron, who has accumulated hundreds of years, will feel very difficult.

Richard throws millions a year, just to recruit infantry knights?
