After a while, with a "creak", Richard opened the door to the cabin.

The home outside the door was the same as the one I had seen before, and the clothes had not been changed - yellow shirt and blue pants.

The other party bent down slightly, with a little apology on his face for disturbing his rest, and unfolded his palm, revealing a gold coin—the one that had been given to him as it was.

The other party looked over and said loudly: "Friend who has helped, you are a good person, thank you very much for your help." If you hadn't given me this gold coin, I might have starved to death. Luckily, I met another nice guy not long ago, and he gave me more coins. Therefore, I asked for back the gold you gave me, and wanted to give it back to you, so as to redeem my book. What do you think?"

"Absolutely, that's what we said before. Richard said, taking the gold coin from the other party's hand, turning around and walking to the table in the cabin, on which the other party's spread out book was placed.

"Thank you so much. Filled with gratitude, he rubbed his hands together and followed Richard's footsteps into the cabin, closing the door as if he had been accustomed to it.

"Click......

Richard stepped over to the table, closed the book, picked it up, and handed it home.

Home stretched out his hand, smiling and ready to catch.

The book moves in mid-air, ten centimeters, five centimeters, three centimeters......

Everything looks, very normal, very kind.

But!

Just as the book was about to touch the family's hand, Richard suddenly stopped and said seriously to the family: "Actually, you know what, you don't have to do this." ”

"Huh?" Jia asked with a puzzled look, blinking his eyes, and smiling, "My kind friend, what do ......you mean? It's a little hard to understand. ”

"I really don't understand? I mean it very simply. Richard looked at the house and said slowly, "You've decided to kill me when you get the book, right? ”

Jia's expression stiffened slightly, and then returned to normal: "This, I still don't quite understand what you mean." Why do you think I'm going to have bad intentions towards you?"

"Because I clearly feel this malice, I say so, do you believe it?" Richard said, pressing his hand to his chest, the "feather of judgment" under his clothes was exuding a chill to the bone.

Jia was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly laughed for a moment, his appearance was no longer humble, and he became a little cold.

Looking at Richard, he asked, "So, have you guessed my true identity, when?"

"Not long ago. Richard said, then corrected, "Not a guess, but a certainty." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, sure. Richard said, "I'm sure you're the one on the ship who hides your identity and carries the precious treasures, and all the troubles that have come to you have come to you for the book I have in my hand." ”

"What about the evidence?"

"Naturally, the evidence is abundant. Richard said, "For example, the book is really what it is, and some rumors are verified......

"Be specific. ”

"Okay, then be specific, I'll say the most specific. Richard looked at the clothes he was wearing, "The clothes you are wearing must not be your own, right?"

"This ......"

"The world, as far as I know, has not yet developed a full-fledged ready-to-wear business, in other words, most of the clothes are either homemade or custom-made by tailors. In this case, it is not impossible that there are two clothes in the world with the same color, material, size, style, and degree of wear, but the probability is extremely low.

As it happens, you are wearing clothes that I happened to have seen in Yalingang, a shirt and pants on two pickpockets who steal for a living. Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I looked back, I realized it. So many things don't need to be explained too much.

For example, if you say that you are on a ship in the port of Rockdam, this is obviously impossible. Then what happened to you may not be true. Keep deducing, and your true identity will be determined naturally. ”

After Richard finished speaking, the family fell silent.

After being silent for a long time, Jia looked at Richard, bowed his head and saluted, and said quite solemnly: "My kind friend, since you have said this, it seems that I should indeed admit that I am the one who hides my identity and carries the treasure on the ship."

I'm sorry to take advantage of your kindness and deceive you. Of course, I'm even more sorry, I'm going to kill you like you said. But believe me, this is the most confidential and safe means. The book in your hand is worth far more than you can imagine, and you can't be too careful about it.

Seriously, I kind of admire your cleverness, someone like you must make a difference in the right environment. But now, I can only be killed as an unlucky person, sorry.

And you don't have to be upset, because it's not your fault. I think before this, you must have really thought I was a poor and depressed family, so you gave me gold. Who would have thought that such a home would suddenly become the most hidden mastermind behind the scenes? Heh, all of this is just a clever arrangement of fate, I'm really sorry. ”

As he spoke, a faint golden light appeared on his fingertips, and he was about to attack.

Richard spoke up, stopped the other party in time and said, "Eh, wait a minute, before you do it, can you answer my two questions?"

"Even?" Jia was slightly stunned, thought about it seriously, looked at Richard and agreed, "My kind poor friend, you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you, this is also my compensation for killing you." ”

"Okay, first question. Can you, tell me, why did you do that? I mean, you gave me the book. You should know very well that the book is extremely valuable, and many people are looking for it, so it is better to keep it in your own hands than to give it to me? At least, you have the initiative. Richard said.

Jia smiled and replied, "I can explain this." I'm doing it all for safety. Yes, this book is safer in your hands than in mine. You should have seen those people who were looking for trouble before, they have a lot of strength, and one of them is even only one line worse than a fourth-level wizard. Such a person has a variety of means and unimaginable abilities.

Naturally, everything is fine if they don't board the ship, but if they do, a suspicious identity like mine can be easily found. To put it more scarily, I know that there are some spells that can peek into parts of people's minds. In that case, it would be safer to hand over the book to someone like you, who has no idea of the truth, than to hold it myself. ”
