It's dawn.

A light wind blew in White Rock City, and Richard heard the sound of the courtyard door, but it didn't look like it was blown by the wind, but someone knocked on the door.

Richard raised his eyebrows, stepped out, opened the courtyard door, and saw a lean muscular man standing outside.

Richard knew the other party, and when he entrusted Bucky with the corpse of Gutas before, Bucky brought the other party with him.

If memory serves, the other party is a member of some "Brotherhood of Steel" that Bucky is in.

Regarding the "Brotherhood of Steel", Richard originally thought that it was a small White Rock City gang, but after in-depth understanding, he found that this organization was not ordinary.

The Iron Brotherhood and the White Rock Tower Wizards Association are incomparable, but in the underground world of ordinary people without extraordinary power, they have been entrenched for decades, and their power tentacles extend to various industries in White Rock City, like a behemoth.

If it weren't for the constant challenge of several emerging gangs, the Brotherhood of Steel would have been even stronger. In fact, the small place of White Rock City can no longer fully accommodate the other party, who has established various networks in many other places outside of White Rock City.

Of course, in any case, in the eyes of wizards and wizard forces with extraordinary powers, the Brotherhood of Steel is nothing more than a clown who jumps off the beam and an ant that can be crushed at any time.

But Richard could recognize that the Iron Brotherhood ant was no ordinary ant, and could use the vast network of relationships established by the other party to do many things that wizards could not do.

In the past month, there are still three missing books to study the secrets of the White Stone Tower and the Black Spirit King, one of which was found with the help of the other party, and the other book was found in the library of the White Stone Tower from the hands of a young student.

At present, Richard has collected most of the books of the Black Spirit Empire that are needed for the secrets of the White Stone Tower and the Black Spirit King, and only the last book with the palindromic number 363 has not been collected.

The reason for this is simple: the number within 40 is verified by the Lickrell number, and 11 palindromic numbers can be obtained - 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 121, 363.

Most of the 11 palindromic numbers correspond to at least two numbers within 40, except for the last palindromic number 363, which can only be matched by the only number, that is, - 39.

To this end, Richard spent a lot of money entrusting the "Brotherhood of Steel" to pay attention to the number 39 of the Black Spirit Empire books. Now that the other party's person has appeared, maybe there is news.

Richard looked at the visitor, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Earlay, right? Is there something wrong? Could it be that you have entrusted your gang with something before?"

"Definitely. The muscular man named Earle nodded and said, "We found the book you wanted from a merchant somewhere outside of White Rock City, and bought it at a great price. ”

"Where are you now?"

"It's still on the way, and it will be about three days before we reach White Rock City. "I'm here this time because the boss wants to inform you that three days later, I will deliver the goods at the place where we last met, and hand over the things to you, so that you can complete your original commission." Of course, you also need to have the final payment ready. ”

"No problem. Richard nodded, and the thought in his heart raced, quite surprised: he didn't expect the "Brotherhood of Steel" to have such a large energy, although it took a lot of time, but he really found the last book he needed. It seems that if you have the opportunity, you can have more contact with each other.

"By the way, the books are safe, and no one is targeting, right?

"You can rest assured of this, we have always been careful, since we have accepted your commission, we will definitely hand things over to you, and our credibility will be guaranteed. Even if something does go wrong, then we will try to fix it, at least ...... Never let the trouble get you. ”

"That's good. Richard responded.

"See you in three days. Earleido, walking towards the street, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked, "Well, by the way, there is actually one thing I'm curious about, you and Bucky ......"

"Huh?"

"Well, nothing. Earle thought of something, waved his hand, and walked away quickly.

Richard looked at the other man's back, blinked, shook his head, and turned to walk inside the door.

"Hula!"

A gust of wind swept dust into the door.

"Squeak!"

Richard closed the door just in time to keep the dust out. But...... There were still fine pieces of gravel, blowing in through the cracks in the door......

Richard looked at the dust stained on the corners of his clothes, and frowned slightly: "It's so difficult, can't hide?"

The next moment, Richard gently shook off the dust and walked into the laboratory.

......

Later that day, in an unknown room, Somen and Mukoni were sitting.

Holding a tiny papyrus scroll in the shape of chopsticks, Muknei looked at Somen and asked, "What's going on?"

"This?" Somen glanced at the scroll in Mu Koni's hand and said faintly, "It's nothing. ”

"Nothing, didn't you say that you had been guarding against the Black Spirit King's secret being solved? The Silver Ring couldn't help but personally urge us to act, asking us to cut it off and destroy it, you are so inappropriate?

It's not like you, Somen, you should be very positive about the organization, and you will never let people get a loophole, so why do you need me to remind you of the importance of this?"

"Huh. Somen looked at Mu Keni and said, "Of course I know the importance of this matter, and even if I really don't know, the silver ring is alarmed, then I should understand." ”

"Then you're still sitting like this, not ready to do anything? You seem to be preparing to deal with Target Eighteen, right? It doesn't matter if that target drags on, but this book is in White Rock City, and it's bad. Mu Keni said.

"Nope. Somen shook his head and said, "This book isn't necessarily bad when it arrives in White Rock City—I actually did it on purpose. ”

"Huh?"

"White Rock City is not a simple place, there are many people here who know more or less about the secret of the Black Spirit King, and some of them are very interested in this secret. If we intercept a book now and prevent it from decrypting, there is no problem with it, but I want to solve it more thoroughly.

The book will arrive in White Rock in about two to three days, and I really want to see who will pass through it. When the time comes, find one, kill one, kill all clean. Then, the secret of the Black Spirit King can basically never be solved, and by the way, our long-term mission to White Rock City is almost complete. ”

"Is that so......" Muknei thought.

"But in that case......," said Mukne, thinking of something, "but in that case, what about the Silver Ring?

We've been transferred to the East Coast, and we're run by the new Silver Ring, and we don't have much to do with it. Are you going against his will, aren't you afraid of being targeted later?"
