The black-robed man took a deep breath and explained seriously.

"Now that you know who I am, you should know that I wouldn't have been willing to stay in the mines. Instead, he was forced to take on that state and live as a miner. ”

"Hmm. Clear. Richard nodded.

"And the reason why I am like that, in a sense, is all due to the 'credit' of the White Stone Tower!"

"So, after you regain your freedom, the first thing to do is to get revenge on them?"

"Yes. The black-robed man nodded, "I killed people in Emerald City to get revenge on them before, and now I kill people on the giant ship to get revenge on them." But ......"

"But what?"

The black-robed man smiled and said with some self-deprecation: "But this revenge is not a real revenge. You must know that the White Rock Tower is a large organization of wizards, and there are many wizards in it. The revenge I am taking now will not hurt the other party's muscles and bones at all, at most it will only make the other party bleed a little, so that the resentment in my heart can be released somewhat.

Although I asked one of the wizards who survived the ship to help me bring some harsh words to the people of the White Rock Tower, it was only a bluff. For my safety, I will never follow the giant ship to the White Rock Tower. And for the sake of revenge without interruption, or for better revenge, I can only use you. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, you. The black-robed man nodded, his expression becoming more and more serious, "You can say observation, you can also say voyeurism, but I'm already pretty sure of your specialness." You're a funny, smart, and powerful person. I believe that if you make it to the White Rock Tower alive, you will definitely complete your revenge on my behalf. ”

Richard blinked, looked at the black-robed man and said, "Is there any misunderstanding between us?" Although I may be a little smarter than the average person, it doesn't mean that I can do whatever I want. You also said that with your current ability, you don't dare to go to the White Stone Tower to take revenge, so wouldn't it be death for me to go to retaliate?

In addition, one of the characteristics of cleverness is to recognize the situation, right? If I do reach the White Rock Tower safely, wouldn't it be good to live a peaceful life there, why do I want to do some sabotage, why do I want to help you retaliate? After all, I went there to learn. ”

"Study?" the black-robed man laughed and nodded, "Yes, study, you go there to study." Actually, I'm not stopping you from studying. When I say revenge, it's not the kind of straightforward, undisguised revenge you think – I'm not stupid. In my opinion, making sure you make it to the White Rock Tower alive is the best revenge. Because, you are different from other people, very different.

You're smart, you're special, so even if you hide, you'll still do some damage to the White Rock Tower in order to achieve some purpose. Otherwise, you won't get what you want.

Sending you to the White Rock Tower is like wedge a nail and planting a seed, and I'm sure you'll surprise me, and that's enough. ”

"Sounds like I have to do this?" said Richard.

"Actually, that's it. A special person like you is like a wolf in sheep's clothing, and when you enter the flock, the damage caused is unimaginable. It's not as simple as killing a few wizards, it's often a bigger and more fundamental destruction, and it can even shake the foundation of the entire White Stone Tower. ”

"You think too highly of me. ”

"No, it's you hiding yourself too much. The black-robed man said, his eyes flashing, "Of course, I won't let you do things in vain, there will be rewards." Like this one. ”

As the black-robed man spoke, an extra bead appeared in his hand, only the size of an eyeball, the color was blood-red, and the surface shone with a strange light.

"It's a spell prop. The black-robed man explained lightly, "After activating with mana, it can unleash a huge destructive power, and its power is almost equivalent to the full force of my current state. ”

Richard listened, and raised his eyebrows: "In other words, can you kill any of the four genuine wizards on the previous giant wheel in an instant?"

"Actually, if four wizards get together, they might be able to kill them together. "After all, don't underestimate my strength to shoot with all my might. In the previous battle, if it weren't for one wizard forcibly raising his level and bursting out with strength that didn't belong to him, none of the four wizards would have been able to come back.

Of course, you must also know that the damage of this bead is indiscriminate. Therefore, when you use it, be careful not to involve yourself and die with the enemy. ”

Richard said: "In other words, although you say so, you must think in your heart, even if I die with your enemies in the White Stone Tower, it will be nothing, right? After all, by the time I use this bead, it will be almost a desperate situation, and I can kill one more person, and I can also help you take revenge on the White Stone Tower." ”

"Huh. The black-robed man laughed, noncommittal, but reached out and threw the blood-red beads over.

Richard took it gently, accepted it, and said to himself: "Since it can explode with such great power, then it is called the Destruction Bead." ”

At this time, the black-robed man took out a second item, which was a long scroll.

"This is a rare spell scroll that records a spell called 'Concealment'. The inventor of this spell is said to have been a powerful wizard named 'Eugene Andrew' a long time ago, and later improved by a wizard named 'Angle'.

Its role can be said to be none, but it can also be said to be very powerful. That is to hide his mana fluctuations, disguised as an ordinary person who no one can detect. If you are proficient, you can even hide the breath of life, so as to shield the enemy's perception, silently approach the enemy, and launch a sneak attack.

This spell should be the ultimate pursuit of many thieves, but I believe that in your hands, you can do a lot more. ”

After the black-robed man finished speaking, he threw the scroll over again.

Richard took it and commented in a low voice, "'Concealment', it's a very apt name. ”

"Okay, there's this thing. The black-robed man took out the third item and held it in his hand. It's a quaint ring, which looks a little old and gives people an ordinary feeling. But the black-robed man looked at the ring, and the whole person's eyes revealed a little reluctance, and finally seemed to have made a big decision, so he looked up and spoke slowly.

"You don't know now, but you're bound to hear a lot of rumors in the future. Legend has it that there is a big secret hidden in the White Stone Tower, and once this secret is solved, you will get unimaginable benefits. I can tell you that this rumor, the secret of the rumor, is real.

I tried to unravel it, but it failed. And the reason why I fell to the point where you saw me in the first place has nothing to do with this secret. Now, I'm a little tired and don't want to try anymore. However, I can give you some of the takeaways from this secret, which is this ring.

You don't need to know what it does right now, but when the time comes, you'll understand. Actually, I don't think you can unlock the secret. However, in some kind of psychology, I still hope that you can go further than me on this path. ”

With that, the black-robed man threw the ring at Richard.

Richard caught it again, this time without saying anything, and with nothing to say, he simply responded: "Uh, okay." ”

The black-robed man stood up, exhaled, and looked directly at him: "Okay, that's all the rewards I can give you, I'm sure you'll make good use of it." Actually, even if you don't give you a reward, I'm sure you won't do badly in the White Rock Tower, but ...... I'm not that kind of person. Haha, I'm kind, well, I'm a very kind person, haha. ”

At the end, the black-robed man laughed, but there was not much laughter in his voice.

After laughing, the black-robed man showed a somewhat deep gaze: "I'm leaving, get ready to plan the rest of my time, after all, I have been delayed for too long before." And before I leave, I want to give you a piece of advice. ”

"Huh? ”

The black-robed man spoke up: "You are a smart person, there is no doubt about it. In my observations, and in the words you said earlier, it seems as if you are ready to figure out everything that is happening around you. That's great, and that's what makes you different. But I must say that sometimes...... Proper pretending is not so smart, but it is really smart. ”

The black-robed man raised his head, his eyes rolled up, as if he remembered something, and the look of horror flashed on his face: "Some...... something, some...... Taboo cannot be explored, otherwise there will be an unbearable price, and I have borne this price. ”

The black-robed man looked at Richard again and took a deep breath: "Anyway, you...... Be careful......"

As the words fell, the black-robed figure twisted and disappeared into the cabin like smoke.

Richard stood still, his eyes flickering.

After the half-ring, the first ring is activated, and the "Pierce's Neurosensitivity Technique" is released, and the perception is enhanced. After fully confirming that the black-robed man had left, Richard let out a long breath.

Slightly relieved, Richard put away the crystal skull he had been holding in his right hand and walked over to the chair.

With a "squeak", Richard lifted a long thin wooden board under the chair and began to take out the white jade pieces depicted with intricate magic patterns one by one. Then he went to all corners and took out more pieces of white jade.

These white jade pieces were quietly carved and placed before. The power is not very amazing, but the location of the placement, the direction and angle of the burst power, have been carefully calculated to ensure that the destructive power of the center is extremely strong. Therefore, as long as it is used properly, it can also cause a lot of surprises to powerful people.

This is to guard against the black-robed man. However, in the end, the words of the black-robed man convinced Richard that the other party had really left, so there was no need for these arrangements, it was better to put them away and carry them with them, maybe one day they would be used against another enemy.

After putting away the white jade piece, Richard sat down in his chair and glanced at Pandora on the bed. I found that the other party was still asleep, I didn't know what kind of sweet dream he was having, and he was sipping his lips.

Retracting his gaze, Richard began to think seriously about what the black-robed man said, and said to himself in a half-loud voice: "White Stone Tower, revenge, secret, taboo, well, it's getting more and more interesting......"
