"Knock knock!

There was a sharp knock on the courtyard door, and Richard came out of the room and asked, "Who?"

While asking, he approached the courtyard gate, but there was only a knock on the door outside the door, and there was no answer.

Well?

Richard raised his eyebrows, walked closer, heard a faint "whine" sound coming from outside the door, first stunned, and then had a bad premonition.

No way?

Richard's eyes flickered, and the "Eye of Gaze" was released, and when he looked through the courtyard door, he saw Alex standing with a light bulb in his mouth, saliva flowing uncontrollably down the corners of his mouth. was originally a pair of mung bean big eyes, but at this time, they were as big as copper bells, and the expression on his face was both frightened and aggrieved.

Well, it really is.

Richard couldn't help but cover his forehead, remembering a curse that has been widely spread on the earth: never, never, never warn others not to try to swallow a light bulb, because if you don't warn others, you can't think of it, and once you warn, there will definitely be people who can't control their own attempts.

These people are very curious, very scientific inquirement, and very eager to figure out why something like a light bulb can be swallowed in the mouth, but why it can't be taken out. As a result, they must pay a price for this spirit of inquiry. No matter how strong the curiosity is, in the face of the special physiology of human beings, it will be defeated.

The physiological structure of the human body determines that the human mouth is like a seesaw, when there is nothing inside, any end of the seesaw can be raised to the highest, and the mouth can be easily opened to the maximum. But when a similar bulb is filled in, it will occupy a certain space and prevent the temporomandibular joint from sliding forward, just like putting something under one end of the seesaw, and the other end will naturally not be as high as before, and the mouth will not open to the maximum, and the pear-like bulb will be fixed in the mouth and cannot be taken out.

Alas......

"Squeak", Richard opened the door.

Outside the door, Alex was holding a light bulb in his mouth, and when he saw Richard, he looked excited, as if he had seen a savior. The mouth "woo woo" kept screaming, dancing and gesturing something. After a long time of analogy, realizing that Richard couldn't hear what he was saying at all, he immediately pointed to the light bulb in his mouth.

"Come with me. Richard glanced at Alex, dropped the sentence, and turned to leave.

Alex hurriedly followed, and followed Richard into the laboratory.

Finding a chair for Alex to sit down, Richard found some cotton and linen, and stuffed it into Alex's mouth. Fixed Alex's head, which he had been shaking, held a small hammer, and struck it on the bulb, and with a "bang", the bulb shattered.

"Phew!"

Alex spat out several pieces of glass and saliva, some of which were stained with blood, his expression was very depressed and embarrassed, and he raised his head for a long time and said to Richard with a big tongue: "Li...... Your Excellency Richard, I was wrong, I shouldn't have disobeyed you, I shouldn't have ......"

"Forget it. Richard waved his hand, brought Alex a small bottle of medical alcohol and a few cotton swabs, and said, "Use the cotton swab to get out the small glass shards, and then rinse your mouth with this liquid." ”

"Oh. Alex obediently did so, using a cotton swab to carefully clean out the glass debris that remained in the corners of his mouth and between his teeth, then picked up the alcohol and poured it violently, rinsed his mouth and spit it out.

After treating the wound in his mouth for most of the day, Alex glanced at Richard quickly, and saw that Richard was not paying attention, and kicked the medical alcohol and the remaining cotton swab into his arms.

"How did you become like this now, Alex?" Richard said as if he had long eyes behind his back, "It's not like you, Alex!"

Li ...... Your Excellency Richard, you've seen it all. Alex obediently took out all the things he had put in his arms, and said with a sad face, "Your Excellency Richard, you have to be considerate of me, I am a poor man......"

"Are you still poor? If nothing else, you've always made a lot of money from me, haven't you?"

It's good not to listen to this, as soon as he heard this, Alex instantly burst into tears, and cried loudly: "But, all this money is lost!"

"Huh?"

"You don't know. Alex cried, "I did have a lot of money before, hidden in more than a dozen cash boxes in my house, and I was not afraid to steal." But...... I didn't think about it, but I didn't expect that there was a group of damn wizards fighting near the wooden building where I lived, and they had a good time, and the aftermath of the spell knocked my wooden building down.

If it weren't for Mrs. Amanda...... Ahem, if I hadn't reacted quickly and ran down with Mrs. Amanda in my arms, I would have been crushed to death in the wooden building. But even if I survived, the time was too short, and I didn't have time to move out of any of my cash boxes, and all of them were buried in the rubble of the wooden building.

I dug desperately for days and didn't find one, maybe I was secretly poached by that bastard, I, I, I...... I'm now completely poor, and I can't even afford to eat, that's why I'm like this. ”

Richard listened to Alex's words, first observed a second of silence for the other party, and then found the key point in Alex's words, and asked aloud: "There are wizards fighting near your house? ”

"What can it do, it's a fight. Alex looked pained and recalled, "That night...... The building fell...... Damn wizards, don't let me find them, or ...... Otherwise, I'll have to lose money. In the end, Alex gritted his teeth with red eyes.

Richard pondered deeply, according to what Alex said, the wizards who fought near Alex's house should not be of low rank, most likely several, and their identities were not wizards from the White Stone Tower, so they might be members of the mysterious organization where Somen and Mukoni belonged.

What exactly is the other party trying to do?

Richard raised his eyebrows, looked at Alex and asked, "Is it calm in the city recently?"

"Calm?" Alex's eyes widened, "Your Excellency Richard, you should ask when the city will be calm."

You may not have much on your side, but the slums are going to turn the sky upside down, and there are wizards fighting every day, and I don't know why. I was so scared that I didn't dare to live in any house, but I dared to sleep in a tent, otherwise a spell would come and collapse the house.

I'll tell you, I've heard about the wizards of the White Rock Tower......"

In Alex's words, Richard slowly learns about the recent chaos in White Rock City, outlining what has happened for a while. After listening, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.

"It really doesn't seem to be peaceful. Richard said softly.

Obviously, the mysterious organization where Somen and Mu Keni belong is constantly making moves and planning one thing. As the dominant force, the White Stone Tower constantly fought with each other, but did not achieve much victory. If this continues, the situation is not good.

So what does the mysterious organization to which Somen and Mukoni belong want to do?

Do?
