Two days later.

Richard paced in his study, talking about something.

His two cheap students, Harry and Cathy, a teenage boy and Cathy, children of the Marquis of Vian, sat quietly on two wooden chairs against the wall, listening attentively, giving the impression of sitting in rows and eating fruit.

Richard's lips opened and he said softly, "If you want to study further in philosophy, you should get acquainted with a man named Schopenhauer." Schopenhauer was a very special man, he was very gifted, he wrote many books, but he hardly had any fame during his lifetime.

It wasn't until after his death that some of his ideas became widely known. Of course, the so-called widespread knowledge is only in a small circle.

He is a negative person, so his view of the world is also pessimistic. He believes that a person's life is always under the control of pain and boredom: when you have desires that cannot be satisfied, you will suffer, and when you satisfy desires, you will be endlessly bored, trying to fill the empty heart with everything.

You don't have to accept all of his thoughts, it's better to look at them critically, choose what you think is better, and fill in your ideology.

Among them, you should pay attention to ......"

Richard was halfway through his sentence when he stopped abruptly as there was a knock on the study door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Shhhh

Harry frowned, and Cathy bared her teeth like an enraged tiger, and the two looked at the door with a bit of displeasure at being disturbed.

Richard raised his eyebrows, and also looked at the door, knowing that it would only be his butler Galie who knocked on the door, so he asked aloud, "What's the matter, Galie?"

"Well, master, there's a friend of yours out there who wants to visit you, it's the same Lord Joseph from before. I know he's a wizard and won't dare to slack off, so I'll come and tell you at once. Please forgive me if it bothers you. Outside the door came Gare's explanation.

"Joseph is coming?" Richard listened, his eyes blinking, a little surprised. When Joseph met with him before, he did say that he would visit him a second time, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"He's it, okay then. Richard pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Harry and Cathy who were sitting in his seat, and said in a loud voice, "Harry, Cathy, I have guests visiting today, so let's stop here for our class first." If I have the chance, I will tell you more about Schopenhauer's thought next time. ”

"Okay teacher, let's leave first, see you next time. Harry pulled Cathy to her feet and said a sensible goodbye.

"Well, see you next time. Richard nodded.

Harry and Cathy walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

Richard looked at Galie, who was standing outside the door, thought for a moment and ordered, "Galie, you go and tell Wizard Joseph, I'll see him in the parlor." ”

"Yes. Garise turned to leave, and Richard walked straight to the meeting room.

......

In a moment, Richard walked into the meeting room.

After sitting in the main seat for a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Joseph entered.

As soon as they met, Joseph spoke up and chuckled at Richard: "Wizard Richard, I'm visiting you again, I hope you don't hate it." ”

"Heh, how is that possible. Richard responded, smiling and rising from his main seat to greet Joseph.

When he walked a meter or two in front of Joseph, Richard waved his hand and was about to beckon Joseph to sit down, when suddenly he felt a corrosive energy on Joseph's body waft out and attached to his body.

Richard froze, frowning at Joseph.

Seeing Richard's performance, Joseph seemed to have understood what was going on, took the initiative to take a step back, showed an apologetic expression to Richard, and said, "Eh, I forgot to tell Richard Wizard you, I may not be suitable to get too close to you now, because my physical condition is not very good." ”

"What's going on?" asked Richard.

"Why? I seem to have been contaminated by a few demonic beasts. Joseph replied truthfully.

"Contaminated by demonic beasts?, how is it possible?" Richard questioned.

Joseph spread his hands and explained in detail: "It was during this mission that I was careless.

Originally, the task was just for me to get rid of a few strange-looking and ferocious demonized beasts, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, so I easily completed it. But he didn't expect that when he killed the last demonized beast of the other party, the blood was stained on his body, so he had the current situation.

You should have sensed that there is an erosive energy constantly wafting out of my body, which is very uncomfortable, but not harmful to the human body - or not noticeably harmful at the current intensity. So, I'm not going to clean it up, just let it drift away, wait for a while, and it should be normal.

Of course, if there's a way to speed it up, I don't mind trying it, because I have a piece of clothing that is also contaminated, and I want to try to save it as much as possible. That's why I came to you this time. After all, you can think of ways to improve the efficiency of the communication crystal ball, and maybe you can also think of ways to speed up the speed of energy dissipation. ”

Richard listened to Joseph's words and pursed his lips. Stretching out his hand to signal Joseph to sit down first, he sat back on the main seat and thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, I really don't have any good way to provide you at the moment, Wizard Joseph." Because I know too little about your situation, I don't have the idea to solve the problem at all. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a pity. Joseph said, then smiled, "But it doesn't matter, after all, the energy floating in my body has no other harm than making people uncomfortable, just be patient and wait for a while." ”

"That's right. Richard agreed, seriously feeling the corrosive energy floating from Joseph's body, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked seemingly unintentionally, "By the way, Wizard Joseph, where were you polluted by demonized beasts?"

"What? Wizard Richard, are you interested in this?"

"Well, I'm not interested, I just want to take precautions in advance. Richard explained, "You said earlier that you were on a mission near Jialan City, so the demonized beast that polluted you was not very far away from Jialan. I think I'd better know the exact extent of them, because one day they'll arrive in Jialan, and I don't know yet. ”

"Reasonable. Joseph nodded in acceptance of Richard's statement, and then smiled, "Wizard Richard, you don't have to worry at all, because I have already killed all those demonic beasts with polluting powers. Of course, you really want to know the location, and it doesn't hurt to tell you.

In the west of Jialan City, there is a small town called Shambhala, and I killed all the demonized beasts in the woods near the small town of Shambhala. ”

"West of Jialan City, the small town of Shambhala, the nearby woods?" Richard read it, nodded, and then picked up the teacup on the silver tray on the table at hand, and motioned to Joseph, "Wizard Joseph, please have tea." ”

"Good. Joseph said, not feeling anything wrong, and naturally picked up the teacup in the silver tray in his hand and took a sip.
