Rommel brushed the hair on the back of the White Rabbit, looked at Richard again, and said seriously: "Okay, Wizard Richard, since you are so persistent, I will give you another chance." To be honest, the "Book of the Void" has a higher secrecy level than the "Blood Alchemy" you exchanged last time, not to mention that you are not a core member, even most of the core members have no right to redeem it. And I can give it to you, and I don't need you to overdraft your points yet. ”

"What about the conditions?" asked Richard.

"Did you know that the Book of the Void kept in the branch is not complete, but only a part, the bottom half to be exact? The missing upper part, according to the clues obtained by the previous members of the organization, is in a city on the border of the Southern Free Federation, near the Soma Alliance, which is collected by an ancient wizarding family, and it is not known where it is hidden.

Well, if you can go to that city and successfully get back the first half of the Book of the Void, I'll lend you the second half of the Book of the Void for you to study together. ”

"When?"

"At any time, you can go to the data room to retrieve the information related to the mission. ”

"Okay, I'll get ready and go. ”

"Yes. Rommel nodded, paused to look at Richard and said, "Wizard Richard, I hope you will think carefully about your research path in the process of getting back the Book of the Void." Sometimes it's not terrible to make mistakes, but it's terrible to not see them moving forward – in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the farther you get from success. If you have figured this out, give up studying the Book of the Void, and then I can give you the rest of the rewards for completing the quest, and trust me, the rewards will be more than you can imagine. ”

"Thank you, Rommel. Richard nodded his head, didn't say anything more, got up and walked out.

Rommel watched Richard leave, without saying a word, staring at the gray-green door of the conference room, as if he wanted to see through it. The air froze around him, and the conference table was squeezed with a "creaking" sound. The white rabbit in his arms shrunk into a ball and trembled wildly, as if he had encountered a natural predator.

A few seconds later, Rommel frowned, and dense wood cracks broke out on the surface of the conference table, and the White Rabbit couldn't help but scream.

"Squeak-goo!"

Canon kept looking at the White Rabbit beside him, and couldn't help but remind: "Director Rommel, you ......"

Rommel suddenly retracted his momentum, glanced at Canon, got up and walked out with the white rabbit in his arms, and replied, "I'm fine." ”

"I'm ......," Canon stuck in the rest of his mouth, and it took him a long time to say dryly in the empty conference room, "It's not you who I'm worried about, Director, it's ......."

"Alas. Finally, Canon sighed, shook his head, and walked out the door.

......

Two days later.

In the Garden of Eden.

With a "squeak", Richard walked out of the No. 3 research room, where the ancient tree species Ximu was "held".

In the open space not far away, the old man of the lich, Ah Fu, was sitting in his easy chair, and the huge skeleton of two and a half meters tall was kneeling on the ground, and the upper half of his body was lying on the lap of the old man of the lich.

The old man of the lich was hunched over, holding a white bone that he had dug out of nowhere, and he was "snorting" at the back of the skeleton.

Finally installed the three arms on the left side of his back, the old man wiped his sweat, and was about to take a break, when he suddenly saw Richard come out and hurriedly pushed the skeleton away.

Quickly caught up with Richard, glanced at the No. 3 research room that Richard had just walked out, and subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Hey, boy, you really have to go far away?"

"yes, didn't I already tell you earlier today, why do you ask again?" said Richard.

"Why do you say I'm asking again!" the old man couldn't help but glare, and pointed to Research Room Three, "You're gone, what should I do if the tree here really starts to go crazy?"

"Don't worry, it won't go crazy. ”

"What if, I mean, what if you go crazy?" said the old man suspiciously, "The tree in the room said before that because of the reason for absorbing the energy of the void, once this space prop is fixed in its position, it can't be moved casually, I always think it's a conspiracy, just so that you can't leave with this space prop, you have to be vigilant." ”

"Don't worry. Richard said, "Mr. Ah Fu, according to my calculations, even if the other party really wants to find trouble, he will not be able to store enough energy to use in a short period of time. Even the most daring guess will have to wait until seven days later, the eighth day, before the other party has the ability to attack. And I will leave tomorrow, and I will try my best to complete this mission and come back in the next seven days, so as to eliminate the possibility of the other party causing trouble. ”

The old man of the lich was not reassured, and asked, "What if you don't come back in seven days?

"Have faith in yourself, Mr. Afu. Richard chuckled, "Even if you don't have faith in yourself, have faith in that spell puppet you made." Although the tree in the room is an ancient tree species, it is now injured after all, and it can't recover its strength openly, it really can't be strong, you and your puppet can deal with it. ”

"But......," the old man of the lich said.

But Richard didn't listen, as if he had something to do, tapped the old man on the shoulder, and turned away.

The old lich man looked at Richard's back and couldn't help muttering: "Have confidence in myself, have faith in my spell puppet?

Besides, my spell golem has only undergone one or two simple modifications, and although its strength has increased, it is still essentially a weak skeleton. Especially this time the modification has not been completed, it is considered a semi-crippled, it is strange to be able to fight the immortal strange species, and it is strange to be able to have confidence!"

Muttering, the old man frowned and walked back to his easy chair, ready to continue attaching arms to the skeleton.

Although he was not optimistic about this skeleton at all, after all, he had more strength and peace of mind.

But the next moment, when he searched for the bones to be installed, he found that the remaining bones on the ground were missing. When he looked up suddenly, he saw six white bone arms, slowly swaying behind the skeleton, as if greeting him warmly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked around, looked at the skeleton and asked, "That little girl came just now, help you fix the rest of your arm?"

"No, no, no. After saying that, the old man of the lich himself denied the speculation, shook his head, and grinned, "That dead little girl, when I went to look for her just now, she was running into a problem and was troubled, how could she have time to come." So, you installed this arm yourself?"

In the end, the old man looked at the skeleton and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "First I drew the design for myself, and now I installed my own arm, you ...... What the hell are you?"

The skeleton looked at the Old Lich, and looked at the Old Lich for a long time, as the sleek skull could not show any expression due to its lack of muscle and skin. Only the dark blue flame in the eye socket burned steadily, and occasionally it beat slightly, like a slight ripple of stagnant water, as if to calmly say: What can I be, I am just a skeleton. Isn't it normal for a skeleton to do things like fitting your own arms?

"Goo-dong!"

The old man swallowed his saliva with some complicated emotions, and swore in his heart that the skeleton in front of him was definitely the strangest skeleton he had ever seen in his life.

Absolute!
