"No, it's not a condition, it's a risk. Rommel shook his head and corrected, "If you can complete this task, then in addition to the rewards that are due, I can make an exception and give you the 'Blood Alchemy' that can only be exchanged by core members." However, you also have to think clearly, it is likely that you will not be able to complete this task. ”

"I accept. ”

"Huh?"

"I accept. Richard repeated, "I accept this task and am willing to take the corresponding risks, because I believe that my research will bear fruit." ”

"Okay......"

......

Ten minutes later, with the details of some tasks finalized, Richard left the conference room.

Canon turned his head to look at Rommel and couldn't help asking, "Director, did you really promise him that?"

"Why not?"

"Didn't you say it, it's a road that doesn't work. ”

"But you should also know that Wizard Richard was a very persistent person, in other words, a very paranoid person. Rommel said, "Such a person, once he has identified a direction, will not give up without hitting a wall." It's not enough to even hit a wall once, you have to hit a wall several times in a row.

So instead of persuading him, let him go with the flow, and one day, he will come to his senses. In this process, it is best to be able to help solve the problem of Horos. If it can't be solved, it's his life. ”

Canon was convinced.

Rommel didn't ramble any more, and turned around and walked out with the rabbit in his arms.

After a while, Kanon suddenly reacted, stood up and shouted, "Director, my ...... Rabbit ......"

There was no response, and Rommel had already gone far.

......

The other side.

Richard, who returned to the Blue Lagoon Manor in Jialan City, sat in his study.

At this time, he did not have the pain of hitting a wall as Rommel imagined, but rather confidently held a quill pen and performed something on the papyrus scroll.

"Rustling ......"

After the calculation, looking at the final result, Richard showed a satisfied expression - 3.005±0.0125.

This is the value obtained by reducing the energy consumption after a recent effort to study the Shaping Spell, which has reached 3. Next, he is ready to slowly lower to 2.

After it is really lowered to 2, although there is still some gap from the theoretical value of 1, it has reached the level of reluctance to accept, and the research and manufacturing plan of nuclear weapons will be greatly accelerated.

Of course, before that, he had to get the spell "Blood Alchemy" to study.

Before that, he had to complete the task he had received not long ago - to explore the dangerous forest and find out the details.

Before that, he had to make some preparations for exploring the forest and carrying out missions.

After thinking about it, Richard took a new piece of papyrus and began to write with a quill in hand.

After writing the letter, he put it in an envelope, and called into the steward Gare.

"Give this to the Vicky Wizard at the Abutment Academy. Richard handed over the letter and commanded.

"Yes, master. Galie listened without hesitation, carefully took the letter, carried it in his arms, turned and walked out the door.

......

Soon, the next day arrived.

Ash Academy outside Jialan City, early in the morning.

A carriage pulled by four sturdy horses came from a distance, and then slowly stopped in front of the door.

Popobol Vicky stepped out, glanced at the carriage, and snorted angrily.

Richard lifted the curtain, looked at Popopol Vicky, and said, "Why, you don't want to go on a mission with me?"

"It's strange if you're willing. Pobobo Vich clasped his hands in front of his chest and said angrily, "Good things don't think about me, bad things think about me." You make so much money from opening a mine, why didn't you ask me to be a piece in the first place? Now that you are doing a task, but let me accompany you, what good is it for me?"

"Didn't you still cry poor with me before, saying that the points within the Truth Society were not enough to exchange for a lot of things you wanted. Richard said, "Because this mission is a seventh-level danger level, once it is completed, there will definitely be a lot of points." And I don't really value points or anything, and I've already got another promise, so I'm going to give you my share of points. Of course, if you don't want to say yes, forget it, I'll go find the rest. ”

Pobovich listened and stood in place. Then he burst into the carriage at an unimaginable speed, sat next to Richard, and said very seriously, "Who said I wouldn't agree?

Richard shrugged: "Alright then, let's go." ”

"Wait!" Pobopol Vic suddenly cried out again.

"What's wrong?" asked Richard.

"Let me go back to the academy first and prepare some potions to bring with me. "Your mission is really dangerous, although your conditions are very exciting to me, but to ensure my life is more important, you have to be prepared." ”

"Then you need to hurry. ”

"Yes. ”

Popobo Vic answered, jumped out of the carriage again, and returned in a few moments with a heavy suitcase.

Richard glanced at the box, the bottom was about thirty centimeters long and wide, and the height was also more than twenty centimeters, roughly estimated that it was enough to hold hundreds of bottles of potion, and couldn't help but say, "You're a little too much, right?"

"No more, no less, if it weren't for your urgency, I would have wanted to bring the other half. "You don't know, I've just developed a few new potions recently, and I'm trying to test the effect, so of course I'll have to bring more." ”

"Well, as long as you're not too troublesome. Richard shook his head, said no more on the subject, and set off on his journey.

......

This journey took four days and three nights.

The horses were changed several times along the way, and even the means of transport were changed in the second half of the course - getting on a wooden boat and going down the river.

Eventually, on the night of the fourth day, Richard and Pobopol Vicch arrived at a town called "Roach".

According to the arrangement of the Truth Society, they will connect with a third-level wizard from the Horos branch here, and explore the forest with each other.

In the darkness of the night, Richard and Popopol Vich walked into the town, to the town's only tavern, which was the agreed meeting place.

Pobobo Vicky carried the potion box, and as he walked, he couldn't help but complain: "Seriously, I suddenly regret coming here now, it's too far, isn't it? And the climate here is not at all the same as Jialan, it's damp and wet, and it makes my nose uncomfortable, ahhhh

As he spoke, Popbo Vic let out a loud sneeze.

Richard glanced at Pobopol Vicch, but without answering, pushed the door open and walked into the tavern.

When the people in the tavern heard the noise, they all turned their heads to look at each other, revealing different eyes. The man dressed as a farmer was curious, the man dressed as a samurai was a little wary, and the thin thief's eyes flickered, secretly speculating whether he could make a fortune.

Suddenly, the boss behind the counter coughed.

"Ahem!"

"Brush" all of a sudden, all eyes converged.
