Darkness, endless darkness.

Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light in the darkness, and then a bright light.

Gutas slowly woke up from his fainting, opened his eyes and saw Richard holding the candlestick shining in front of his eyes, and when he found him awake, he removed the candlestick and sat down on a chair beside him, looking at him condescendingly, and seeing him extremely uncomfortable.

Gutas then noticed more uncomfortable things, such as his hands and feet being tied with ropes, and his whole body lying on the ground in a strange position, barely able to move.

Damn it!

Gutas cursed in his heart, but at this time he had already figured out something. Turning his head to look at Richard sitting in the chair, he showed a resentful gaze and said, "You're not a wizard, just a wizard apprentice, right?!"

"Even?" Richard raised his eyebrows and looked at Gutas, "Why do you say that?"

"If you're really a wizard, you knocked me out before, and it didn't take that much effort at all, you could do it with a spell. "Gutas Road.

Richard blinked, calmly: "That's true." ”

"Damn!" Gutas gritted his teeth, "I knew it was like this! I shouldn't have run away in the first place, I should have taught you a lesson." ”

"Are you so sure you're going to be my opponent?" Richard squinted, "even though I'm a wizard apprentice. ”

"Hmph, if you have the ability, you can loosen the rope on my body, let's have a good comparison, then you will know. Gutas said coldly.

"Huh. Richard chuckled, "Okay, don't try it, I'm not going to be fooled." You can act like I'm not your opponent, as if I got caught because of your misjudgment, but that doesn't change your situation. ”

"So. Richard looked at Gutas with a serious expression, "Why don't you cooperate with me and let me ask a few questions." Like what...... First question, what's your name?"

"Gutas!" Gutas said coldly, his eyes sharp, "Gutas Chelst! boy, you'd better let me go!"

"Gutas, yes, I see. Richard nodded his head, "Then the second question, what are you doing here with me? After all, I don't want to torture you either. ”

Gutas snorted coldly, a little unimpressed by Richard's words, but replied after a while: "I came here to find a potion that is very important to me, a potion called 'Spartan Warrior'. It can stimulate the ancestral power inherited in my body and make the ancestral power stronger. As long as I get enough potions, I can be even more powerful than a wizard!"

"That'...... Where did you get the news about the Spartan Warrior Elixir?" Richard asked.

After hearing this, Gutas's face was slightly gloomy, as if he had thought of some bad memory, and said in a muffled voice, "I got it from a damn fat merchant called 'Alex'. ”

In the end, Gutas couldn't help but scold: "He's a damn black-hearted dealer! The most shameless person I've ever met in my life, he should be sent to the gallows to be hanged, burned at the stake, and sent to the slaughterhouse to be chopped into minced meat!"

"Even?"

"He only sells three inferior crystals for that potion, but after I used it, I found that it worked, and I wanted to buy more, but he raised the price to five inferior crystals! Damn! I can't afford it at all!" Gutas was a little excited, and his expression was disgusted.

"Tell me more about it. Richard said slowly.

Gutas spoke immediately, and it was only after a moment that Richard understood what had happened.

During the day, he entrusted Alex to sell the "Spartan Valor Elixir", and Alex was obviously very hardworking, getting the potion in the morning and starting to sell it in the afternoon. At the beginning, the price he set for the other party was 2 inferior crystals per bottle, and there was a 5% share for each bottle sold, which was obviously not a small profit for Alex. But Alex was not easily satisfied, or more greedy.

In Alex's opinion, if the potion can be sold, why do you have to have 2 inferior crystals? The more expensive, the better!

With this in mind, Alex saw someone serve the food. Some people who are not easy to fool will use the low price of 2 inferior crystal coins to attract each other. Some people who are interested in potions will offer prices above two inferior crystals.

As for repeat customers like Gutas, Alex slaughtered them - in Alex's view, it is impossible for Gutas to have the financial resources to buy them for a long time, so if he can squeeze out the maximum benefits at one time, he will strive to squeeze out the maximum benefits.

In this way, when Gutas bought it for the first time, it was 3 inferior crystal coins, and he gritted his teeth and bought it. After trying it out, it was found that the effect was very good, and improving combat effectiveness in a short period of time was secondary, and the most important thing was that it could stimulate the bloodline seeds in his body.

Excited, Gutas approached Alex again to make a second purchase. However, he was told by Alex that due to the tight supply, the price has been raised to 5 inferior crystals for one bottle, and if you want to buy two bottles, you will need 12 lower-grade crystals - the more you buy, the more expensive it is!

At that time, Gutas had a total of 8 inferior crystal coins, and he thought that he could take 3 bottles when he bargained, but he found that he could only take 1 bottle.

Looking at Alex's hateful face, Gutas was angry, gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth, but he didn't bite down.

......

After listening to Gutas's bitter complaint, Richard understood how black-hearted Alex was, and thought of Gro's previous evaluation: Profiteer, absolute profiteer!

Sure enough, it's a profiteer.

But Richard didn't pay attention to this, looked at Gutas and asked again, "Then how did you come to me? Where did you get my address? Alex told you that......? It's not that stupid, is it?"

"Hmph. Gutas sneered, his face murderous, "It's true that he's not so stupid, but he also hasn't been so tough. After the deal failed, I grabbed him in the dark and tortured him very hard.

Before killing him, he told me your address tremblingly while peeing in his pants. He said, "You have more potions here, so I'm here." ”

After Richard listened, he looked at Gutas, who looked up at Richard with his head tilted back and fearlessly.

Gutas exclaimed, "Believe it or not!" If you want to know where he died, I can tell you the location. I have to say that his screams before he died were really noisy, like a pig that had been killed. ”

Richard's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Gutas and said, "No, you're lying. ”

"Hmph, I'm not lying, I did kill him!" Gutas insisted.

"Since you killed him, then you will get all the potions in his hands, enough for you to use for a while, why do you come to me recklessly and unprepared?" Richard asked, "At least, use up all the 'Spartan Warrior Elixirs' in your hands, strengthen your ancestral power, and then act, isn't it?"

"I ......," Gutas muttered, but after half a voice, he said stiffly, "I'm going to do this, can you handle it? I did kill your friend named Alex, and I went and took his potion." The reason why I came here was just to make sure that what he said was true or false, but I didn't expect it to hit you in the hand. He didn't tell me about your strength in the first place, this is definitely a deliberate revenge, absolutely!"

Richard's eyes flickered as he listened to Gutas's words, and to be honest, he didn't believe much in the fact that Alex was killed. But then again, it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing. Alex is not his friend, but he has some use for him, and if the other party is really dead, then he has to find a way to replace him with the rest of the people.

In this case......

Thinking of this, Richard got up from his chair and decided to go see Alex anyway.

Ignoring Gutas's sneer, Richard looked at Pandora on the bed in the corner of the laboratory and said, "I'll go out, you take a good look at the house." Well, the main thing is to keep an eye on this man on the ground, don't let him run, you know?"

Pandora rolled over.

"That's good. ”

Richard turned and walked out.

Gutas watched Richard leave, looked at Pandora on the bed in the corner, and sneered at it. I couldn't help but think: Just such a sleeping little girl also wants to watch him? Hmph, delusional!

Gutas's eyes rolled, scanning the furnishings around him, his mind quickly thinking of a plan to break free from the rope and escape.
