"What?" Seeing Angel stop, Richard raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't want to go back, want to stay here?"

Angel shook her head in a panic: "No...... No. ”

"Then why don't you go?"

"I ......," Angel said in a hesitant voice, a little embarrassed, "I have never been to this cemetery, so ...... So I don't know how to walk back to the White Rock Tower. That one...... Can you send me back? I ...... I promise that after you send me back, I will never look for you again. ”

Richard: "......" suddenly felt that if innocence defeated innocence, then now, it was road blindness that defeated everything.

Seeing that Richard didn't speak for a long time, Angel may also feel that her proposal was a little too much, and said weakly: "Then if you don't send me back, it's okay to show me the way." ”

Richard took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuating emotions in his heart, pointed to the front, and said to Angel, "Follow this road all the way forward, turn left at the first intersection, turn left at the second intersection, turn right at the third intersection, and turn right at the fourth intersection."

After walking all the way to a tavern called 'Salt and Fire', turn left and turn right at the second intersection, until you reach the end of the main entrance to the White Rock Tower Academy. Remember?"

Angel's eyes flickered.

Richard was helpless, repeated, and asked again, "Did you remember this time?"

"Remember...... Remember......" Angel said in a voice smaller than a mosquito.

"That's good. Richard waved his hand, "Let's go." ”

"Forehead......" Angel walked back step by step, walked out of the cemetery, and disappeared into the distance.

......

Watching Angel leave, Richard stepped forward to return to the laboratory, after all, in the spatial iron ring, there were several new books of the Black Spirit Empire that had just been obtained to be studied.

As a result, he had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a faint human voice coming from a tombstone in the distance.

"Huh?"

Richard raised an eyebrow and walked over.

When he got closer, Richard saw a fat man who looked like a dwarf winter melon, squatting in front of a tombstone, shaking his fat and muttering something quietly.

If it's not Alex, who else would it be?

This......

Richard wondered: What is the other party doing here?

Thinking about this question, Richard coughed lightly at the right time: "Ahem!"

"Ahh

Alex was facing the tombstone, and when he heard Richard's cough, he jumped up in fright, turned around slowly with a little pale face, looked at Richard, his eyes flashed again and again, and he said with difficulty: "It's you!"

"It's me. Richard said.

"Why are you here?"

"I'd rather give you back the question—why are you here?" said Richard, "you are a merchant, you are not good at business, what are you doing in the cemetery? It can't be that business has not been good lately, and you are going to dig up the grave and steal the burial goods of the dead to sell?"

Or are you going to take the bones of the dead and sell them to some evil wizards on the black market to use them as casting materials for some evil spells? As far as I know, both of these things are strictly forbidden by the White Rock Tower, right?"

"Me!" Alex said as his eyes widened and his face shook, "where did you think I was......! Just to pay homage to my family's ancestors, okay?!"

"Worship your ancestors?"

"......" Alex was silent, and after half a sound, he said, "I don't want others to know that I am a descendant of my ancestors, and I am afraid of embarrassing him, so I choose to worship in the middle of the night." ”

"Your ancestor was a big man?" asked Richard.

This question seemed to stimulate Alex, who said loudly: "Of course my ancestor is a big man." No, he's not a big guy, he's a big guy, a legend!"

"Really?" Richard wondered, "who is he? a king, a general, a leader of a wizarding organization, or the man at the helm of a powerful consortium?"

"......," Alex was silent again, "he's a captain. ”

"Captain, uh, Captain......" Richard said.

Alex jumped to his feet and shouted, "Don't underestimate the captain! My ancestor, though he was a captain, was a great captain, and he did many great things in his life. On his last voyage to sea, he experienced all kinds of disasters and returned safely with his entire crew. Only himself, who died of overwork.

That is, now, my ancestors are not so famous. A long time ago, I heard my parents and grandfather say that there are people everywhere singing poems in praise of the deeds of my ancestors, and this is the pride of my entire Alex family!"

"Uh, okay. Richard said suspiciously and looked at Alex, "But even so, it's a bit strange that you worship your ancestors now, isn't it? This is not a day to worship the dead, you don't come to your ancestors to seek comfort because you have done something bad and feel ashamed in your heart, right?"

Alex seemed to be right, his eyes widened, but his mouth did not admit it: "How can there be! No, don't talk nonsense! I just suddenly miss my dead parents, so ......"

"So...... What does this have to do with you worshipping the graves of your ancestors?"

"I'm ......," Alex instantly froze, and it took a long time before he said, "I'm so sad, can't I find the wrong place?" Besides, I miss my parents, worship my parents' parents' parents...... Isn't it reasonable for parents to do the same?!"

"Is it reasonable?"

"Isn't it reasonable?!"

"Well, whatever you want, you can continue to worship, I'll go first. Richard waved his hand, not wanting to waste time with Alex on this issue, so he casually glanced at the tombstone where Alex was worshipping, turned to leave, and Alex muttered quietly behind him......

......

"Da Da Da ......"

Walking to the edge of the cemetery, Richard was about to walk in the direction of the laboratory, when he suddenly saw a girl's figure groping, hesitating, and tentatively walking towards the cemetery.

If it's not Angel, who else could it be?!

This!

Angel left the direction of the cemetery before, but it was not this direction at all, and the other party walked back in a big circle. This...... Is it lost, or lost, or lost?

Richard frowned, stepped over, and stopped Angel.

Angel was startled, staring at Richard with wide eyes, a bit like she was looking at a stalker.

Richard asked, "Didn't you notice that you were going the wrong way?"

"Huh?!," Angel was surprised, "Why, I did what you said." ”

"Repeat to me what I said before. ”

"This ......," Angel said weakly, "it seems, should, maybe, probably...... Keep going forward, turn left at the first intersection, turn left at the second intersection, turn left at the third intersection, turn right at the fourth intersection......"

Just hearing this, Richard knew that there was no need to listen down, because it was just this first sentence, and it was wrong, and it was strange that he could go right.
