Anyway, the battle was over, and Richard was ready to leave.

At night, in the tent of the camp, an intimate conversation was taking place between Richard and Gro. Pandora sat in and looked for shiny silver cutlery.

"Your Excellency Richard, are you leaving?" said Gro, his voice still a little worried, "you are leaving now, in case those people come back...... What to do?"

"You'll have to figure it out on your own. Richard said lightly, "After all, I can't protect you all the time." Actually, you don't have to worry too much, since the morale of that group of people has collapsed, it is impossible for them to return quickly. Wait until dawn for you to leave the forest, and then rush back to the royal capital as soon as possible, then it will be safe. ”

"But I'm afraid something will happen on the road. Gro's eyes flickered, "With Count Vic's matter first, I'm worried that there will be people in the team who will be unfavorable to me." ”

"It's possible. Richard didn't deny it, "But there's one person you should be able to trust." ”

"Who?"

"Lancet. ”

"Lancet?" Gro was stunned, thought for a moment, and spoke out with some hesitation, "Although he has been doing well all along, my contact with him has been too short. I didn't know him, so ...... I didn't dare to believe him too much. ”

"You have to think like this. Richard raised his hand and said, "You are now in his territory, so if something happens to you, he will definitely be mainly responsible, and even become a substitute." Therefore, he is the last person in the entire team right now, and there is no one who wants you to die.

Unless he's not in his right mind, he won't be involved in anything related to assassinating you. If you're really worried about danger on the way back, leave the forest and spend ten days in the castle of Ranster's territory. ”

"Ten days?" Gro was stunned, "Why stay for ten days, after ten days?"

"Stay for ten days because you can muster enough loyal soldiers to protect your return. The other thing is...... Ten days later, our deal will be completed, and then by then, your life will not matter to me. ”

"I ......," groh said, glaring at Richard. While Richard's argument makes sense, it's too straightforward, isn't it?

"Of course, I still hope you live. Richard exclaimed, "Because in the near future, I may visit the royal capital of the Emerald Kingdom, try to contact the wizards of the current world, or try to board a ship to the mainland." At that time, if you were still alive in the royal capital, it should be of some help to me. ”

Gro has some black lines, which seems to be more straightforward, and he wants to use him nakedly.

"Actually, you have to understand one thing. Richard looked at Gro and said with some seriousness, "Maybe I can help you, but only if you become stronger, will there be any point in being helped." People, after all, still have to rely on themselves. ”

"Forehead......" Gro fell into deep thought.

"Okay, so be it, it's late, I'm really leaving. Richard pulled Pandora out of the tent and finally said, "I hope you can really become a wizard, and I hope you can live well, and then there will be a day when you will see you again." That's all, bye. ”

Richard waved his hand, disappeared from Gro's sight, and walked out of the camp, into the darkness, and towards the hill.

Gro in the tent, his eyes shining: "Is it possible to become a wizard?" as he spoke, he subconsciously grabbed the small bottle of ether that Richard had given him earlier.

......

In the night, the sound of footsteps sounded "da-da-da".

Richard and Pandora walked, like two pieces of fat moving in the forest, exuding an alluring aura. Numerous nocturnal beasts sniffed, swarmed, and then saw Pandora's appearance, and then ...... Running frantically with his tail between his legs.

Walking along the way, it does not seem boring, but a little hilarious.

But in the midst of this commotion, Pandora walked with a silver fork in her tongue, as if she were a little sullen.

Richard walked aside, looking at Pandora's appearance, his eyes flashed: "I know, what are you thinking." ”

"Scared?" Pandora snapped her head and let out a sound.

After a lot of contact, Richard has found a general pattern for Pandora to communicate with one syllable:

The use of flat sound (yin ping, a sound) is generally to express affirmation, or to express calm, indifferent emotions;

The use of raised voices (yangping, second voices) generally expresses doubt, or surprise, surprise;

The use of euphemistic voices (upper voice, three tones) generally indicates hesitation, or expresses boredom;

The use of heavy voices (de-voiced, four sounds) is used to express rejection, denial, or to express anger, anger, and unhappiness;

Now it's a tact—a question.

Richard replied, "You were thinking about what you had just done in the camp, and you could have done it, right? You could have chased people away faster than I did, but I stopped you and kept you from making a move, which was boring." ”

"Click!" Pandora listened, biting the tip of a new silver fork in her mouth, then nodded and spoke out earnestly, "Scared." ”

Flat, definitely.

Then he raised his voice: "Scared?" and asked Richard why he was doing this.

Richard said: "It's simple, because I don't want you to kill more." ”

"Scared?" Pandora wondered again.

"There are differences between humans and animals, but there are also similarities. If you don't establish your own complete worldview, outlook on life, and values, you will participate in too many killings, which will affect your character. Of course, you can also say that you do, but ...... After all, something is not good. Richard spoke.

"Killing can be used as a means, but not as a hobby. For a certain purpose, it is possible to kill numerous animals and humans, and this is called the price. But because of a hobby, because I want to satisfy my twisted heart, to create killing, like this, huh...... It can't be called bad, it can only be called stupid.

This can easily cause anger and resistance from the rest of the people, and then be besieged by a coalition. When the time comes, you may be able to flee or even fight back, but you will also be injured and killed. ”

Richard paused and continued: "Actually, you have done a good job of these, for example, in the beast tide, you can kill many creatures without blinking, but you usually maintain the order of many animals drinking water, even if an animal violates it, it is only a violent beating." I didn't let you do it just now, I just wanted you to keep it like this, and wait until you grow up and have a relatively neutral three views, and then choose what to do and how to do it. ”

"Scared?" Pandor, expressing deeper confusion, Richard knew what she was asking.

"I can't stay in the forest forever, I'll leave. In fact, I'll leave when the current research is finished. Because of some of my purposes, I must get in touch with the real wizards in the current world and understand the real wizard world in order to proceed more smoothly.

Truth be told, you, and Gregory's existence, are in a sense more advanced than wizards. But because of this, in terms of my current state of research, life here is a bit too ambitious to study through you, and it is more likely to disrupt the whole research process.

Maybe I'll come back after I've been away for a few years, a decade or something. But that's in the future after all, and we still have to go now. Gro is a small foreshadowing, or springboard.

That's why I want you to keep a relatively neutral outlook, don't kill too much, and save yourself from waiting until I come back, but I can't find you and Gregory. Got it?"

"Scared!" Pandora froze, her eyes wide as she watched Richard reply, and said in a heavy voice—denial.

Richard chuckled and shook his head: "No need to do this, I know, you already understand." Okay, let's go back. No matter what, at least I won't leave immediately, and I'll have to settle the matter of the beast tide anyway. ”

As he spoke, Richard held out his hand.

"Scared—" Pandora frowned and looked at Richard for a moment, before finally grabbing Richard's hand.

Two figures, one large and one small, walked back towards the hill in the night.
