Fortunately, Gordon did not urge Richard to decide on a partner immediately after the dinner that day, and in fact, the two would hardly have had a chance to meet unless they had agreed on a time and place.

Although Richard's allotted residence on the island was only a small suite, it was very close to the Akmund family library, and Richard often stayed in the library all day to read books on the history of the continent and the teachings of the gods, and at the same time he could avoid being disturbed. [Search for the latest update.]

Of course, this kind of shield was ineffective against Vinica and Daimei, who came to visit Richard together the next day. However, Lady Luck favored Richard again, and they happened to be in a very important cultivation course recently, so they didn't stay too long, and it was a pity that they didn't have time to get to know Richard more deeply for at least the next four or five days. The main discussion of this visit revolved around the Demonic Pattern Structure.

Faced with two young girls who were eager to witness the process of making such a legendary item, Richard originally delayed by not preparing enough magic materials, but Daimei and Vinica said that Richard could first 'familiarize' himself with the area where the construction was to be held. Because the most important thing for Daimei and Vinica to get to know each other is, of course, to familiarize Richard with the location where the magic pattern needs to be attached.

This is a very 'dangerous' process of getting acquainted, and if Richard is completely 'familiar' with them, it means that he must become a partner with them. For before the first appointment of a mate, the maidens of Akmund demanded purity in order to preserve the purity of the offspring's bloodline. However, in the case of marriages with other families, this prohibition does not necessarily require enforcement.

After sending them away, the next few days were finally unusually peaceful. Except for Winnington, who showed up once and brought the materials needed to make the build, Richard didn't see anyone else. It was not Richard's concern whether the rest of the girls at the dinner that day were not qualified, or whether they had given up trying to cross the great gap in status to get close to Richard.

He seemed to have returned to his days in the Deep Blue, setting himself a schedule as precise as a magic clock, and began to absorb a lot of knowledge about the plane war, the history of Fukti, and the Eternal Dragon Palace, and then deducting the time for Winnington to make the Zuò Construct Plug-in, formulate his own equipment plan for the future Construct Knight, and meditate, he had little time left.

Behind the apparent calm, however, the dark tide began to surge.

The sixth-story floating island was the domain of Duke Joseph. As one of the ten families founded by the Holy Alliance, the Joseph family did not go any further, but it did not decline. With the passage of time, the family heritage has become deeper and deeper, like an ancient tree, its roots have been deeply rooted in the soil of the Holy Alliance, and it is difficult to shake it again.

Unlike the war-like fortress style on the 7-3 floating islands of the Akmund family, the scenery on the 6-6 floating islands of the Joseph family is more in line with the aesthetics of the great human aristocracy. Hundreds of years of painstaking management and a kilometre larger diameter than 7-3 have made the island a showcase for architecture and gardening.

If you look down from above, the entire floating island is shrouded in a faint light purple semicircular barrier. Under the glorious heavenly dome of Faust, the barrier is almost discernible in normal times, but if something foreign passes through the sky, the light purple ripples are stimulated from that point and spread outward like a lotus flower in full bloom.

The ground is mostly covered with lush vegetation, and under the constant temperature of the four seasons, the trees and grass are dripping, and all kinds of flowers are almost always in their best bloom, as if you have entered the realm of the open water in the back garden of the legendary gods. The buildings are scattered throughout the building in an elegant and classical style, surrounded by ivy-wrapped trellises and pavilions, as well as carefully manicured bushes.

A stream flows down from the southwest summit of the floating island and converges at the foot of the hill to form a small lake, where an ancient castle is built, and the central square of the castle is surrounded by delicate sculptures with soft magical light sources, and a luxurious fountain in the center is the focal point of the visitor's attention.

In a small private library of the castle, several shrewd, capable, or ruthless men sat in a row, all sitting upright, and the aura of the strong faintly emanated from each of them. In front of them, a tall and thin aristocratic young man stood in front of the bookshelf, holding a book, constantly looking at something. He was dressed in well-tailored casual clothes, wearing a pair of crystal glasses, and his appearance was handsome and wise, but his figure was a little thin.

As he flipped through the book in his hand, he said, "Is the news confirmed?"

A shrewd middle-aged man on the far left said, "It has been confirmed by various means that Richard Akmund was indeed a junior constructor. However, the dark blue side has not received more detailed information for the time being, and it is impossible to confirm what Cheng Dù Richard's construction level has reached. In the dark blue, there is surprisingly little information about Richard, and the information mongers are also very strange, either they don't know anything, or they throw a bunch of trivial but useless information, and our people may not get further information. ”

"What else does it need to be confirmed? A fifteen-year-old constructor, does it need to be confirmed in the future?" another tall man said coldly, and then waved his right hand forward vigorously: "Even if Richard is only a constructor all his life, if he is allowed to grow up, how many more constructor knights will there be in the Akmund family? He should have been killed on the road a long time ago! Even if he was just an ordinary magician, he should have killed him after five years in Deep Blue Middle School!

A mage-like man sneered and said, "Sybil, what you said is easy, it's so easy to kill Richard? Gordon sent Deep Blue is the Demon King of Mordred! In the complex terrain of the wild, even if you have the ability to intercept accurately, how much will it cost to kill Richard from his men? If Richard is just a great magister in the future, what's the point of doing so? The price paid may be several times that of a great magister." As for the future Archmagister, how many children of each family have the potential of the Archmage, are you going to kill them all? Unless you can kill Mordred, but if he wants to escape, who is sure that he will be able to surround him? Now that you know that Richard is a constructor, don't you think it's too late to say that?"

After he finished speaking, he sneered twice, and said to the roaring strong man: "Why don't you lead the team and ambush Mordred, and get rid of that demon king may be much more useful than getting rid of a future constructor!"

The big man named Naxibi's face immediately turned red, and he roared angrily: "Jia Wen, what do you mean by this!"

The mage named Jia Wen sneered and said, "What did you mean just now, what do I mean now! Since you think that I am not effective in making plans, then you, the person in charge of leading the army, should play a more role." It's a bit hard for you to clean up Mordred, so you can kill any of the other twelve knights under Gordon, Colddon, Colleen, or Lina?"

At this time, the old man on the right side coughed and said, "Javin, Nacibi, there is no point in arguing with you now. There is no doubt that the Akmund family has produced another talented little guy, but at the moment it is only talented. The question now is how much priority we should give Richard. ”

The young man, who was pacing back and forth between the bookshelves, paused, looked up, and asked, "By the way, I almost forgot that our venerable young master once said that Richard was preparing to make a mana amplification construct. This is a non-standard build! You don't think he can make a second-order standard demonic pattern build right now, do you?"

"Non-standard construction?" Jia Wen snorted, and he immediately made a judgment as he also had some knowledge of magic pattern construction: "This Richard is very likely to become a great construction master in the future!"

This directly caused Richard's predictive value to soar fivefold, and in the midst of all the discussion, his dangerous Cheng Dù has been listed as the first person of the younger generation, and has entered the top ten of the Akmund family.

"Guys, I just checked out another interesting piece of information about an auction from a little over a year ago. The young man lifted his glasses, stroked the pages of the book in his hand with his fingers, pointed to one of the lines, and said: "The most dazzling lot of this auction is a superb first-order agile structure, which requires a low bearing capacity to be attached to the third-order structure, and the bonus range has reached a terrible 41%, just looking at the bonus amplitude, it has completely reached the standard of the second-order structure! This structure sold for a sky-high price of five million, which is enough to show its preciousness and rarity." But what is even more interesting is that the auctioneer of this composition is dark blue. ”

The young man raised his head, with a calm and elegant smile, and said: "We all know that Deep Blue has never produced constructs, and His Royal Highness Su Helen's extreme requirements for the quality of constructs and his hatred for constructors make ordinary constructors have no living space in Deep Blue at all. Therefore, we can boldly assume that this superb construction is likely to be the work of this Richard. If so, then he deserves our full effort, and if not, a future architect is also worth the price we have to pay. ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "The one we can pay now is, in the eyes of the Joseph family, a heavy price. ”

So everyone immediately understood that they would eradicate Richard at any cost!

"Are you going to prepare for war?" asked Nacibi, in a low voice. At the mention of war, the corners of his eyes began to glow bloodshot, and although he still maintained the etiquette in front of his superiors, the movement of his limbs was already clearly showing irrepressible excitement.

The young man closed the book in his hand, placed it lightly on the table, and said with a calm and confidence that was not commensurate with his age: "No, not for the time being. Now that the battle between us and Akmund is off the battlefield, as long as we do it perfectly enough not to let him grasp too many handles, then Gordon will not be willing to go down the final road of war. He was a very clever man, and he must have known that a war at this time would not benefit either of us in any way, and would only cheapen that old fellow of Julius. He will wait, wait for the time when Akmund will recover from this blow, wait for the advantage over us. But ......"

The young man smiled meaningfully and said, "Time, however, is not necessarily on Gordon's side. ”
