Potter walked around the crowd, followed by three of the stronger students.

When the group saw Potter, they took the initiative to get out of the way and let Potter lead the people inside, to the corpse in the circle.

Walking over to the corpse, Potter took a look at the corpse and found that it was a corpse, but in fact it was almost impossible to see the appearance of a human being. Falling from too high, the whole corpse had twisted into a strange posture, like a rag doll.

Potter looked at it, didn't say much, waved his hand and asked the three people who followed behind him to carry the body away, and then cast a spell, using the water spell to wash the deck clean.

Looking up, Potter looked at the people around him and saw a lot of complicated expressions, some with doubt, some with worry.

Thoughts raced through his head, and after half a ring, Potter decided to stabilize everyone's emotions.

With a light cough, Potter quieted down the whisperers around him and spoke slowly: "I don't need to say more, I think everyone should know that this is the third time the same thing has happened." I don't know exactly why, but I'm investigating, and if I can't find out, I'll tell the wizards and ask them to help.

In short, don't worry too much about this matter, just live a normal life. The White Rock Tower will allow you to board the ship, which will naturally ensure your safety and ensure that you reach your destination safely, except for those who are eliminated in the test. That's it. ”

Potter nodded, and turned to leave.

The crowd stood still, watching Potter leave, and after a few more moments, it gradually dispersed.

......

In the days that followed, Potter and his men did continue to investigate, but the sailor's deaths continued—one day a day, and on time—four, five, and six......

But on the seventh day, I don't know if the killer was going to take a day off, or if Potter's investigation had progressed, and it was rare that there were no dead people. A search of all corners of the ship found no body of the sailor.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the murder was over.

Richard, on the other hand, did not think it was a good thing. Most likely, this only represents the end of the first stage of the murderer's murder plan, the beginning of the next.

......

On the night of the seventh day, in the cabin.

Richard, who was supposed to be sitting in a chair, leaned back on the bed at this time. Pandora, who was supposed to sleep on the bed, sat on a chair.

Pandora, holding a white jade tablet in one hand and a carving knife in the other, looked at the pattern drawn on the papyrus scroll unfolded on the table, frowning and thinking, as if she were deciding some major life choice.

After a long time, Pandora withdrew her gaze from the scroll, landed on the white jade piece, and then held the carving knife and lightly swiped it on the white jade piece.

"Thorn ......"

The jade chips flew one after another, and a deep notch appeared on the white jade piece.

"Hoo ......"

A notched engraving was complete, and Pandora let out a breath as if she had accomplished something big, then looked up at the papyrus scroll again.

After seeing it for a while, Pandora picked up the carving knife again and looked at Bai Yu for a moment.

"Thorn ...... Click!"

The heart relaxed slightly, the strength was not contained, and the white jade piece was broken instantly.

Looking at the broken white jade piece, Pandora was stunned, then turned her head to look at Richard.

Richard smiled and encouraged, "Go ahead." ”

"Hmph, no!" Pando pulled out a sound, threw the white jade piece and carving knife in his hand on the table, got up from the chair, walked quickly to the bed, and said angrily, "It's not fun to lie to people!"

"Isn't it fun?"

"It's not fun!" Pandora's voice was affirmative.

"Forehead ......"

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, you get out of the way. Pandora's eyes widened.

"Uh, okay. Richard walked out of bed with a little helplessness, watched Pandora quickly climb up, fell asleep, and just fell asleep for a moment.

Shaking his head, Richard couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Well, it must be admitted that his plan failed.

Originally, he thought that Pandora was always in a daze after sleeping every day, which was a bit of a waste of labor, so it was better to "use it effectively". Even if Pandora doesn't help much, it's always okay to do something simple.

For example, carving a few not-so-precise magic patterns on the white jade tablet, even if he fails, it doesn't matter, he is very patient—very patient to slowly train Pandora into a skilled low-tech child laborer.

But...... Now it seems that he has patience, Pandora does not have that patience. In Pandora's eyes, the world is big, and it is not as big as her sleeping. And between sleeps, if you don't have to work in a daze, then it's better to continue sleeping.

Looking at Pandora on the bed, Richard couldn't help but think, from now on, Pandora wouldn't increase her sleeping time to 24 hours a day, right?

If this is the case, there are 24 hours in a day, and sleep takes up 24 hours, then ...... What's the difference between this and a coma?

"Hoo ......"

With a breath, Richard shook his head again and threw his thoughts away. He walked to the table, preparing to slowly solve the matter of Pandora in the future, and for now he began to study the work.

Well, get to work.

Yesterday, he had already optimized and improved the Magic Pattern of the Light Wind Spirit, and successfully carved it onto the No. 1 ring. As a result, there are already three solidified spells on the first ring: Wind Lightness, Wind Brute Force, and Pierce's Nerve Sensitivity.

Therefore, the activation of the first ring can make the body faster, stronger, and more responsive, greatly enhancing the body's melee ability.

However, he was not satisfied with this, and now he had to study the magic pattern found on the inner wall of the Drifting Bottle.

Through constant observation, he had drawn a part of the magic pattern onto the papyrus scroll, the one that was now unfolded and placed on the table.

As for the magic pattern in the painting, he has some guesses, it is likely to be an ultra-complex compound magic pattern, with a variety of functions, such as stimulating the growth, development, mutation, and evolution of organisms.

He believes that one of these specific functions can be extracted and used, such as: increasing the speed of cell division, speeding up wound healing, increasing the body's metabolic speed, comprehensively improving physical fitness, reducing telomere loss in the process of cell division, increasing the limit number of cell divisions, and prolonging cell life.

The research was not easy, and the complexity of the magic pattern made it very difficult, but he felt that with enough effort, he could succeed.

With this in mind, Richard gathered his energy, sat down in his chair, and looked at the unfolded papyrus scroll. Reaching for Pandora's discarded carving knife and a new piece of white jade, he began to move.

"Thorn Thorn Thorn ......"

The carving knife swiped on the white jade slices, carving stripes of magic patterns, and some fine places were processed using spatial iron rings, constantly testing the functional unit range of magic patterns and the role they played.

"Crackling ......"

The wick of the oil lamp popped slightly, and time kept passing......

For a long time......

After working for a long time, Richard stood up, added new oil to the oil lamp, stabilized the light, moved his body, and let out a series of bony sounds like popping beans.

After a brief rest, Richard sat down to get back to work, when he suddenly felt something, got up sharply, turned his head, and looked sharply at a corner of the cabin.
