"Da Da Da ......"

In the third cabin on deck, in the corridor, Richard walked towards the cabin where he lived.

Because it was at the very end, by the time Richard reached the door, the rest of the people had already returned to the cabin.

Richard glanced at the empty hallway and reached out to open the door. At this moment, sensing something, his hand reached out into the air and paused slightly.

The eyes flickered, then narrowed, and returned to normal in a moment.

"Whew-"

The next moment, Richard took a deep breath, reached out to the hatch, and pressed slightly.

With a "squeak", the hatch opened, and Richard walked in and closed it tightly. Turning around, the first thing Richard saw was Pandora, who had somehow returned to sleep on her bed. When I turned my head, I saw a man sitting on a chair at the table.

The other party was dressed in a black robe, and was carefully studying some of the gadgets on the table, such as delicate carving knives, such as white jade tablets with patterns depicted, such as papyrus scrolls with various values written and drawings drawn.

After studying it for a while, the other party sighed and turned to look. When he looked up, he revealed a somewhat ordinary face, and his eyes were calmly burning with oily green flames.

Richard was not surprised, and after moving slightly, he looked at the other party calmly.

"This is the second time we've met. The black-robed man spoke up.

"So?"

"So, it saddens me that you haven't let your guard down on me. If you can put down what you're holding now, I think our second meeting might be a little more pleasant. The black-robed man was humane, spreading his hands, with a look of no malice.

Richard was unmoved: "I don't think so. ”

"How?"

"Although, I'm sure you're very capable, maybe some of the defensive means I've done are a little ridiculous. But at least, there's still a threat to you, right? I think maybe the dialogue between us will be fairer. Richard spoke.

"Huh. The black-robed man smiled lightly, "Okay, okay, I admit it, the crystal skull you are holding in your right hand now can indeed cause me a lot of damage." And since you have to do this, I won't force it. But you see, I really don't have any ill will towards you. Otherwise, I would have done it to you the last time we met. ”

"Not the previous time. Richard said.

"Huh?"

"The first two times. "The first time was in Emerald City, and the second time was in this cabin not long ago." Actually, this is the third time we've met. ”

"Well, this ......" The black-robed man was obviously stunned, and then let out a somewhat self-deprecating voice, "Okay, I'm old, and my memory is not as good as that of you young people." I almost forgot the meeting at Emerald Gold City, and that time was an accident, and I didn't want to meet you at that time.

But the meeting in this cabin not long ago was intentional on my part, because ...... During these days on this ship, I found you very interesting. ”

"Discover, peep. Richard didn't say politely.

"Whatever you say, you can naturally think of it as a voyeur, but in my eyes, it's just a simple observation and discovery. The black-robed man said softly, "Besides, since you're already aware of my existence, it's not a voyeur, is it? At least, conceptually, it's not voyeurism." ”

"......," Richard was silent for a while, "Actually, in my concept, a person like you would not play this kind of word game. ”

"Huh. The black-robed man chuckled, "Or more bluntly—shouldn't I be so shameless and shameless?"

Richard: "......"

"Haha. The black-robed man laughed, "Everyone has their own personality, which is difficult to change, no matter how strong or weak they are. In other words, everyone has many sides, and when I face an enemy, I show one side, when I face strangers, I show another side, and when I face someone I know more well, I show a third side. Do you think that side is the real me?"

"Are you sure you want to go on with this?" Richard's eyes flashed, "At this time, you really want to have a serious discussion with me about the psychology of 'personality'?"

Where do you want to start?Freud's theory of personality structure dynamics?Allport's trait theory?Tapest's five theories of personality?Treagan's seven-factor model?You're a guest, and I can let you choose an entry point. ”

"Forehead......" The black-robed man was silent at this moment, and he said in a half-loud voice, "Okay, I was wrong." I have to admit that you shouldn't be joking with people like you, at least in this situation. ”

"So, can we talk about it officially?" asked Richard.

"Don't worry. The black-robed man spoke up, "Before we start talking, I want to say two things. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The first piece. The black-robed man sat on the chair, stretched out a finger, pointed to Pandora on the bed, and said, "You don't know how to take care of the little girl, when I came, I found that the other party was lying on the ground, or I helped you carry the other party." So, you should thank me, right?"

"I'm ......" Richard opened and closed his mouth, but did not speak.

"Why, don't you want to talk about it? Forget it, let's talk about the second thing. As he spoke, the black-robed man stretched out another finger and pointed at the tabletop, "Anyway, your desktop is too messy, you should clean it up." ”

Richard said unceremoniously: "If you had less power leaked when you fought with the wizard on this giant ship just now, then it should have been neat and tidy. In addition, the little girl you are talking about was also thrown out of bed in the aftermath of your battle. According to reason, you should take the other person back. ”

"Oh, is that so...... the black-robed man reacted, "so you don't need to thank you, and I need to apologize?"

"Do you really want to continue to waste time on such trivial matters?" Richard couldn't help but let out a loud voice, looking at the black-robed human.

The black-robed man shrugged: "You have to be considerate, I, an old man, haven't spoken to anyone for a long, long time, and there will always be an urge to talk nonsense." ”

"That can be said after the formal conversation. ”

"Okay, okay, let's start a formal conversation. The black-robed man's expression finally became serious, "Let's talk about the affairs of both of us seriously." In all politeness, I can let you ask questions first, and I'll answer them. ”

"Then my question is very simple, what do you want to do?" said Richard.

"Well, that's the question, I thought you'd ask me if I won or lost the battle just now. Aren't you curious about winning or losing battles?" the black-robed man was slightly surprised.

"That's not a problem. "If you lost, you wouldn't be here." The only reason you're here is that you've won. Then it means that your strength is stronger than the four wizards on this giant ship. In that case, he can be considered a very powerful wizard in the wizarding world, right?That's why I'm a little curious, why are you so hateful to the White Rock Tower?"

"Sort of. ”

"What kind of feelings, interests?" Richard saw the black robe's hands crossed together, "Uh, is it interest?" ”

"Count it as a benefit. The black-robed man let go of his hands a little unnaturally, "They have made me go through some very bad things, and I want to take revenge on them in my heart." ”

"That ......"

"Stop!" the black-robed man suddenly interrupted Richard.
