"Leia?" Raymond raised his eyebrows and said, "I can let you come here once, presumably this meeting will not be easy." ”

Richard nodded and said, "Yes, she wants to arrest me, arrest me, and then let me release you." ”

Raymond sighed: "She is just extremely talented, and she easily entered the Holy Realm, but she is not very hardworking, and she has not experienced a few battles, how can she be able to catch you?

Richard smiled and said, "No, we didn't even do it." Now I guess she's thinking about how to make me feel better and make you suffer a little less. ”

"I don't seem to have suffered any sin now. Raymond said lightly.

"That's just that I don't want you to suffer for a while. Richard sneered.

"Corporal punishment? You can actually try it. ”

Richard laughed, "I recently have an extra soul shepherd, and a son of a god. Which do you want to choose?"

Raymond's face changed, and he finally stopped talking. In the hands of a soul shepherd or a son of iniquity, the soul will sink forever, and death is only the beginning.

Richard poured himself a cup of tea, tasted it, and said slowly, "Leia can't get anything, and she knows it herself." And I never broke her identity from beginning to end, and with her cleverness, I must be able to guess why. I think she will eventually give her all her qiē. What do you think?"

"Quite possibly. Raymond said.

Richard stared at Raymond, then sighed after a moment and said, "You don't want to do something for her?"

Raymond was silent for a moment before he said, "There's nothing I can do." ”

"You've disappointed me. ”

Raymond replied: "No, you should be happy." Because I'm not an opponent who succumbs so easily. There is no possibility of resolving the hatred between us, and all you want is to see my struggles and pains, and the more I persist, the more fun you will have. ”

Richard shook the teacup in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Do you remember what I said to you on the day of our decisive battle, you are just a trouble on my way forward." So I don't really care if you're in pain or not, otherwise, I would have asked Nayu to entertain you a long time ago. The reason why I am holding you is so that you will be punished for what you have done. ”

Raymond laughed, "What's the difference between what I do and what you do?"

"It's completely different. I'm more confident than you, and besides, I'm the winner. Richard replied lightly.

Raymond's laughter stopped abruptly.

Before leaving, Richard threw down a sentence: "If you want to have a little more sense of zài, then you can make some suggestions for what I have done." Whether that's a build or a trap, I'm welcome. ”

The courtyard door was closed, but Raymond was still sitting. The sky was very clear, and the **** in the courtyard was beautiful, but he suddenly felt lonely.

This year, the spring, summer and autumn of Faro are calm. The oracle's truce has passed, but there is no rush to start a war between the human kingdoms.

In fact, the boundaries of human countries are largely fixed, and efforts to change territory are mostly at the negotiating table and bed, rather than on the battlefield. Marriage is always a more effective means of territorial annexation than war.

On the other hand, the reason lies in the calm of the Bloodstained Land. Richard has not taken the initiative to provoke any disputes during this time, so naturally no one will be stupid enough to provoke Richard, although everyone knows that every once in a while, Richard's strength will inevitably expand a little.

The movements of Richard's main force could not be concealed, and the nations adjacent to him knew that his large army was advancing towards the ancestral highlands, and had already climbed the steep walls of the trade winds to successfully ascend the high ground and step into the traditional territory of the barbarians. Most of the vicious generals under Richard were also transferred to the ancestral source highlands. In the Blue Water Oasis City, apart from Richard himself, only the top of the church of the three goddesses remained.

It can be said that Oasis City's defenses are exceptionally empty, but it can also be said that its defenses have not been weakened because Richard is in Oasis City.

The example of the Fifth Frontier Army of the Iron Triangle Empire illustrates this point. They had won successive battles at first, and Richard's followers had no one to stop them, and it seemed as if they could sweep across the bloodstained land. However, they eventually provoked Richard. In the battle of the blue camp, Richard annihilated the main force of the Fifth Legion with less than half of the opponent's troops, and even took advantage of the situation to counterattack and take the lair of the Fifth Legion.

At this moment, Richard's prestige has surpassed that of Sarenwell and Li Shilongtu, and he is faintly the number one general in the west of the mainland.

Those who are real military strategists and strategists are even more uneasy at the moment. Because once Richard's efforts to open up the ancestral highlands were successful, it meant that he had a vast rear. Such a famous general, if he has enough military strength and enough strategic space, it is almost invincible.

In contrast, there is no need to worry too much about the legendary land after the turbulence of time, after all, it is inconvenient to travel with the mainland, just look at the scale of Richard's lineage. Someone with a heart has analyzed the composition of his army, although there are many strong individuals, ordinary soldiers still rely on local recruitment. Moreover, Richard has a characteristic, using a large number of slave soldiers, which also shows from the side that only the strong can safely pass through the turbulence of time, so there is no need to worry about Richard's family entanglement of a million troops to completely impact the pattern of the human kingdom.

However, if the Ancestral Plateau, which was connected to the Bloodstained Lands, became Richard's domain, it would be a different story entirely.

Richard didn't pay attention to what the others thought, he just buried himself in the world of magic and constructs, sharpening himself bit by bit, and accumulating one construct. Every time the sand in the magic sandglass falls, Richard's strength slowly increases by one point.

People kept walking in and out of the dimensional portals, but Richard was always moving between the magic room and the meditation room. The quicksand is in the ancestral source highland, and even Luoqi has gone to the ancestral source highland. Luoqi has reached a bottleneck and needs to be sharpened on the battlefield to break through.

There are still people who come all the way to the Bloodstained Lands to join Richard's territory, and there are also many people who come specifically for their faith, who want to take refuge in the light of the new god behind Richard, only to find that the new god does not recruit believers at all. But these ascetics had already run out of money when they came to the Bloodstained Land, and they could never go back.

Fortunately, the three goddesses are extremely generous in this regard, so they have a place to be. Groups of fanatics continue to arrive, and the power of faith added to the three goddesses is obvious.

Almost every few days, the three goddesses would express their joy in various ways, whether it was to send down an oracle, or to perform some kind of miracle, or even to directly raise the level of a magician. The activity of the three goddesses, in turn, strengthens the faith of the devotees.

However, for this kind of activity, quicksand has an accurate but rather negative evaluation: "They have been poor for too long, and they suddenly become rich, and it is inevitable that they will be excited." ”

Anyway, the time passed like this, until the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when the cold wind started.

On this day, news came from the brood that it had reached the ninth order. Richard, on the other hand, looked up from the desk and glanced at the calendar on the wall, and suddenly it was almost a year later.

It's time to go back to Norland.

Richard looked at the real platform in front of him, on which a new life was quietly placed. However, this Life Destruction is a little different from the original blueprint, it has brought more attack speed increases, but the carrying capacity of the claim has decreased slightly, and the cost is a further increase in the difficulty of control. Richard took down a sealed box from the shelf next to him and opened it, revealing an improved picture of life in the same place.

Richard took off his clothes, and with a slight thought, intricate patterns appeared on his arms. The two slashes of life floated up on their own, flew towards Richard, and then covered his forearms. Two clouds of blood suddenly burst out in front of Richard, and two new life annihilations had merged with him.

Richard pulled the rope bell, and a moment later Lucky walked in. She's done what she needs to do, and she only returned to Oasis City last month.

"Is something made?"

"It's all done. When Luo Qi said this, she still had a little pride on her face. This is a very important step for her.

"Very good! It was even better than I could have imagined. Richard said approvingly, then pointed to the real platform and said, "Help me tidy up here, I want to rest for a while." Then you pack up your stuff and we'll be back to Norland in a week. ”

Luo Qi responded, and began to skillfully sort out the magic materials scattered on the stage. At this moment, Richard suddenly patted his forehead and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that I promised you that if you can complete those three works, I will give you a reward." Let me think about what kind of reward I would give you. ”

Although Richard said this, his eyes were clear, and it was clear that he had already thought about it. Luoqi's heartbeat suddenly became faster, but for some reason, her always calm and calm heart made waves.

Seeing Luoqi's surprisingly expectant gaze, Richard smiled and said, "Well, how about I prepare a press conference for you when I go back to Norland this time?" As a new architect's press conference, those three works are enough!"

Luoqi was taken aback and lost her voice: "What, hair...... Is it my build-up conference?"

"Yes!"

"This ...... Isn't that appropriate?" Luo Qi tried to calm her breathing and heartbeat, and regained her usual calm and calm, and said, "Master, this is what I call you. Including myself, my qiē belongs to you. Whether I'm a constructor, or maybe a big constructor in the future, I don't need to have my own fame and glory. Because ......"

"Just because I gave you a new life?" Richard interrupted with a laugh. He'd heard it many times.

Luoqi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "For me, nothing is more important than this. ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be better for you to have your own press conference? Richard said.

Nicky tried to argue, but Richard pressed her lips. "Luoqi, I did bring you a new life, but over this time, you have paid back everything you owe me, and it is more than enough. So don't think about anything more, you deserve it. One day in the future, when the time comes, I will return your freedom. ”

Luo Qi was startled and asked, "You want to get rid of me?"

Richard laughed and said, "To set you free is to give you your own career, not to drive you away." You can choose to stay with me!"

Luoqi bowed her head slightly, and after a moment she struggled to squeeze out a word: "...... Thank you!"

Richard patted Luoqi's face, and then consciously communicated to all the followers outside: "Come back to me! It's time to go back to Norland and clean up those free cubs!"

A moment later, all sorts of strange screams rang out in Richard's consciousness, making him dim.
