After that, the cooperation conversation continued in a harmonious atmosphere, and Richard and the black-faced old man reached a lot of consensus.

Finally, at the end of the conversation, the old man reached out from his bosom and pulled out a small cloth bag and placed it on the table.

"What is this?" asked Richard.

"Open it and take a look. The black-faced old man said.

Richard did not hesitate, picked up the cloth bag, opened it, and took out the contents of it, and saw that inside was a piece of paper and a small glass tube of ink.

Paper and ink are not ordinary.

The first is paper, not the usual papyrus, nor parchment, but more like a kind of white silk. The color is snow-white, smooth and soft to the touch, with a certain elasticity, almost suspecting that it is human skin. But the strange patterns on the surface clearly prove that this is not human skin, but a more mysterious creation.

The ink is a dark gray with some colored dots of light, reminiscent of the endless night sky and the stars dotted within.

The black-faced old man explained aloud: "The paper you get is called star-patterned paper, and the ink is called starry sky ink. They are both extremely precious spell props, and when combined, they can play a special role.

To explain it simply, you write on the star-patterned paper with starry ink, and soon I will be able to see your words on another corresponding star-patterned paper in my hand - exactly the same, without any mistakes.

I write the words on the star-patterned paper in my hand, and yours will also show it on the star-patterned paper. And the handwriting will disappear automatically after a while, as long as there is enough starry sky ink, you can repeat the writing, and we will communicate in this way in the future. ”

After listening to the black-faced old man's explanation, Richard's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Isn't this the fax machine of the wizarding world version?

This is much stronger than the communication method of the necromancer Shande, after all, Shande's communication method is valued with one finger. In the end, Sander could only communicate in the same way ten times.

Well, if you can do it with your toes, you can double the number of times to twenty.

But in any case, the communication method of star-patterned paper is far stronger than that of Shande's finger bones.

The black-faced old man looked at Richard for a long time without speaking, and asked out loud, "What, what are you thinking?"

Richard came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the mechanism of action of this star-patterned paper you gave me." According to what you said, writing words on one piece of paper, and after a while, you will see the same text on another piece of paper, which is obviously an information transfer process.

And if there is a transmission process, it means that it can be intercepted and cracked in some way, so if the method is correct, maybe when you see me writing it, other people can see it too. ”

The black-faced old man's eyebrows moved, he thought seriously for a while, and said loudly: "You look at the problem from a really unique angle, before you, no one thought of this possibility at all. I don't deny that what you say makes sense, but it's not easy to crack the star-patterned paper, otherwise the star-patterned paper and starry sky ink wouldn't be so precious. At least for now, you shouldn't have to worry too much about leaks. ”

"Okay. Richard agreed, saying this, but he quietly wrote down a note in his heart: on the progress chart of the spell system cracking, the communication spell should be added, and I tried to analyze it in my free time, maybe there was a lot of discovery.

At this time, the black-faced old man said, "Okay, here we are." Everything is negotiated, and all that remains is how to execute.

I will make some adjustments based on the information you have provided so far, and have the information delivered to you in a few days. I promise, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose it, others will definitely not find out your details.

This way you will be able to dive into the Truth Society, learn about them, and then tell me in star-striped paper, and work with me for a long time. ”

"Okay, then I'll take my leave. Richard said.

"Walk slowly, I won't send it. The black-faced old man said.

Richard nodded goodbye, turned around, and walked out the door with Pobokovich.

......

Seeing Richard and Popopol Vicch leave, the black-faced old man lowered his head and ate the soft lump of bread with a fork with a broken tooth.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

While eating, the door of the house "creaked", and a person walked in, the guard of the black-faced old man.

The guard, who had the terrifying strength of a fourth-level wizard, had been staying around the hut to prevent Richard from being unfavorable to the old man, but in the end, nothing happened, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the guard walked into the hut, glanced at the old man, and asked aloud, "My lord, how did you talk to those two people?"

"It went smoothly and nicely. "They are better than I thought, and although I don't think of them as important, they may not be able to surprise me." ”

The guard listened and asked with concern, "In this case, the matter has been completed, so can we go back to the north?"

"Almost. The old man nodded, and said as he ate the soft bread cube, "According to the matters finalized by the conversation, it is necessary to disguise the identities of those two people." But I don't need to do it myself, just let the rest do it, they will do better, and we can go back. Uh, by the way, on the way back, I want to stop by that volcanic city to have a look, no problem, right?"

After listening to the old man's words, the guard's face changed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "What did the lord say, is that small city called 'Pompey'?"

"Yes, it's Pompey. The black-faced old man nodded, "I heard that that is the core of the Truth Society in the Southern Free Federation, I want to go and see what it looks like." ”

The guard's expression became solemn, and he said seriously to the black-faced old man: "My lord, there is indeed the core of the other party. I'm not afraid, but I'm responsible for your safety, my lord, so I must say that it's too dangerous to go there, and I hope your lordship will change this attention and go straight to the north. ”

"So serious?" the black-faced old man frowned, and couldn't help but give way, "Then I don't go into the city, how about just taking a look at it from a distance outside, and treating it as a pure passerby?"

"This ......" The guard hesitated, looked at the black-faced old man for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll accompany the old man and pass by 'Pompey' once." Nothing happens, nature is the best, and if there is an accident, I hope that the adults must listen to my arrangement. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a confused old man. The black-faced old man smiled, ate the bubbly soft bread cube again, ate for a while, and invited the guard, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, do you want to come some?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, glanced at the fluffy bread, and subconsciously shook his head: "I'll forget it, my lord." ”

"Oh well. The old man shook his head in disappointment and said, "I almost forgot, at your level of strength, you don't need to eat at all." ”
