More than ten minutes later.

Richard took the eldest lady Anne and the old servant Fitch to the door of the secret room where Alan Pombo lived.

Pausing in front of the door and pointing towards it, Richard said to Anne, "Open the door." ”

"Open the door? I don't know how to open this door. Anne said sincerely.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm. Anne nodded.

"That's good. Richard looked at the old servant again and said, "Then I don't want to trouble you." ”

"Shall I open the door?" the old servant confirmed, with some surprise.

"Yes. Richard replied.

"This—" The old servant hesitated, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Richard, "this gentleman, I would love to help you, but I am only a lowly servant, and I do not have the key to open this door. ”

"Isn't it your hand that opened this door, or the blood that runs through your body, and what do you want the key?" Richard said.

Hearing Richard's words, the old servant couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't expect Richard to even know such a secret thing, as if he had seen him open the door with his own eyes.

Opening his mouth, a little undecided, he turned his head to look at Anne and asked for instructions.

Anne looked at Richard with an extremely complicated expression at this time, and she already knew in her heart that her countermeasures to pretend to be stupid had completely failed, and Richard knew too many things, so with or without her cooperation, she could open the door in front of her.

The only difference is that if she cooperates, she can save some trouble.

"Whew-ho-"

Anne took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, looking at Richard and said, "Okay, don't be embarrassed by Feiqi, don't you want to open this door, okay, I'll open it for you." Hopefully, though, you're ready to open this door. I warn you, behind this door is the most powerful man in our Pombo family, he ......"

"It's Aaron Pompo, right?" said Richard.

Anne was so stunned that she almost choked, glared at Richard, bit her lower lip hard, and walked towards the door in anger and helplessness.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Anne slapped one hand on the demonic metal door.

A dark blue light flashed on the demonic metal door, and then it slowly opened with a "click".

Anne stood in front of the door, looked at Richard, and made a gesture of invitation to the door, her eyes slightly defiant, as if to say: Do you dare to go in?

"Click......

Richard stepped forward and walked calmly past Anne, ignoring the expression on Anne's face and entering the door.

Anne couldn't help but bite her lip again, and watched Richard approach the door, turning her head to look at the road she was coming from, and she wanted to escape quickly and get rid of Richard's control. But cautiously thinking that Richard's strength was unfathomable, such a move was not the best choice, and finally cautiously walked into the door with the old servant.

Inside the door.

Alan Pombo noticed that the door had been opened, looked up, and looked at Richard with a little puzzle and a little scrutiny.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" asked Aaron Pompo after a long pause.

"Mr. Alan Pompo, I am an insignificant passer-by. Before introducing me, I would like to give you an update on the Pombo family: now in the city of St. Louis above us, the Pombo family is suffering the greatest crisis in hundreds of years, and has been strangled and nearly wiped out by many forces.

According to the worst guess, in this secret room, in addition to you, the eldest lady Anne may be the only remaining Pombo family lineage of the Pombo family. ”

"This!" Even Alan Pombo, who has decades of experience, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Richard's words, and then turned his head to look at Anne and hurriedly confirmed, "What he said is true?"

"Great-grandfather......" Anne pursed her lips and nodded, her expression a little heavy, "Yes, what he said is true. My father, the Invincible Donus, has been assassinated. The most powerful knight in the family, Gawain, led a group of his subordinates to openly rebel and unite the rest of the forces to besiege our family......"

Listening to Anne's words, Alan Pompo's expression changed and changed, and before Anne finished speaking, he pointed at Richard and asked vigilantly, "Then who is he?

"He ......" Anne hesitated, and to be honest, she was a little confused about what Richard was.

Richard opened his mouth at this time, looked at Alan Pombo and said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Alan Pompo, as I said before, I am just an inconsequential passerby. I'll admit that I disguised my identity, hid my strength, and infiltrated your family's residence to find out the news.

But I don't want to be an enemy of your Pombo family, and I don't do anything to your Pombo family, my only purpose is to come to you and get a book. ”

As he spoke, Richard looked at the bookshelf where the Book of the Void had been placed before, and the next moment he was surprised to find that the entire bookshelf there was empty.

Turning his head to look at Aaron Pombo again, he saw that the other party was looking at him with burning eyes, and slowly took out a book from his sleeve, which was the Book of the Void.

"This is the book you want to take, right?" asked Aaron Pompo.

Richard nodded, not lying, "Yes." ”

"It turned out to be you!" Alan Pombo raised his eyebrows, revealing a sure gaze and said: "The person who sneaked into this secret room yesterday turned out to be you! I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Anne and the old servant Fitch listened, looked at each other, and silently hid away, and found that the current situation was completely beyond their control.

"And what do you think?" Richard said earnestly as he looked at Aaron Pompo, "as long as you promise to give me the Book of the Void, I can leave immediately." Of course, given that the Book of the Void is a rare wizarding book, I'm willing to compensate for the loss caused by it with gold, crystals, or other items, such as spell items, or the rest of the wizarding books. How?"

"Is this condition—" Alan Pombo listened to Richard's words, and his tone dragged out, as if he were thinking.

After a few seconds, Alan Pombo looked at Richard and said, "I have to say, the conditions you put forward are very reasonable and fair, and I should accept them." I have a doubt, though, and I want you to tell me. ”

"Please. ”

Alan Pompo's eyes became serious, he looked at Richard and asked, "Since you are willing to make a deal with our Pombo family, and are willing to pay a certain price in exchange for the Book of the Void you want, then why didn't you do it earlier? Why didn't you talk to the head of the Pombo family's generation earlier? Why, at this time, find this old man of mine to talk about this?"
