Explosions and screams rang out, and one after another corpses fell from mid-air, like dumplings, and smashed on the ground outside the Blue Lagoon Manor, falling to the ground.

"Goo-dong!"

Poboovich couldn't help but swallow his saliva after watching this scene. Although he is stronger than any other enemy, he still has no confidence that he will survive if he is attacked in the same way.

Because, this is different from all the attacks he has encountered before, too ...... Violence.

Yes, too violent, the only words he could think of to describe it.

Then he saw the man who caused the violence—Richard.

The "burning clouds" dispersed little by little, and Richard's figure appeared in the sky, slowly falling towards the ground.

"Richard!"

Popobo Vich said hello quickly.

Richard ignored it, and landed on the ground with a cold face, falling around the corpse, and examining it.

Popbovich's expression stiffened for a moment, and then fell, looking at Richard with some embarrassment, and greeted again: "That...... Thank you, Richard, you saved me. ”

Richard finished examining the body and stood up, his expression looking a little strange, as if something incredible had happened, but he quickly returned to normal.

Looking at Pobopol Vicch, Richard replied, "Thank you, but I want an explanation." ”

Pointing to the corpses, Richard said, "I want to know, who are these corpses, why did they come here? Although they attacked my manor, and I have good reason to fight back, I can't deny that it seems that you deliberately lured them in." ”

"Uh, that, ahem!" Pobobo Vic looked aggrieved, "I can't be blamed for it, honestly, I don't know who they are." I was separated from you before, and I ran into them on the way back, and I didn't explain it to me at all, so I just started it. I really can't beat it, so I have to come to you for help.

Well, I know, you hate to get into trouble, or else: if you like research the most, then I'll give you a copy of the 'Blood Spirit' potion that boosts my wizard level and let you study it as compensation. ”

As he spoke, Pobobo Vicky took out a dozen finger-sized glass potions from his bosom and sent them to Richard's hand.

Richard took the potion, put it away without refusal, and said, "Well, your potion, just take it as the price of my shot." But, then again, shouldn't you also pay for repairs to the ruined manor?"

At this time, the fire was still burning in the manor, and although important places such as the wind tunnel laboratory and stone building were not destroyed, the warehouses and stables were destroyed, and it would take a lot of money to completely restore them.

Pobovich glanced at the burning manor and asked cautiously, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

"A thousand gold coins. Richard said calmly and gave a friendship price.

"A thousand gold coins?!" Popobo Vic opened his mouth wide, then closed it with great effort, nodded, and said sadly, "Okay, a thousand gold coins, just a thousand gold coins." ”

"That's it. Richard said, "By the way, it's better not to have any follow-up troubles, or I'll make amends to you." ”

Popobol Vic: "......" suddenly felt that it was really not a good choice to ask Richard for help, and the price was much more expensive than he thought.

Richard didn't say anything more, tilted his head slightly, glanced in the direction of the night in the distance, and then waved his hand at Popobo Vicch and walked back to the manor.

The men in the manor, under the command of the butler Galie at this time, nervously scooped buckets of water from the small lake and poured them towards the burning flames to prevent the flames from spreading. Richard waved his hand and unleashed several spells to help reduce the fire, and after making sure that the fire was under control, he walked back to the stone building that had not been affected by the flames.

......

Outside the manor, Pobobo Vicch pondered with a bitter face how he could scrape together a thousand gold coins to return to Richard.

Although he is not poor, he is really not rich. Most of the money was turned into spell props on the body and the "blood spirit" potions that were taken. If it is five hundred gold coins, with the tuition fee sent by the Marquis of Wei'an, it can be taken out, and if it is a thousand gold coins, it may have to be sold for property.

Alas, why is he so unlucky?!

Just went out once, but not only was he almost killed, but he also owed a lot of debt. In other words, what is the identity of the person who attacked him?

Could it be the Bloodfang Thieves?

He did have some conflicts with the Bloodfang Thieves before, but how long has it been, and if he really wants to take revenge, is it too late?

Puzzled, Pobobo Vich approached the corpse and found that the corpse was either twisted or charred, and there was no clue to his identity.

But just when he was about to give up, the tattoo on a man's corpse caught his eye.

The male corpse was the middle-aged male wizard who attacked him at the beginning, and the tattoo was on the other party's shoulder. The other party's shoulders were wrapped in a white cloth before, and the texture of the white cloth was relatively special, so in the process of being bombarded by Richard with strange arrows, the white cloth was burned, but the skin under the white cloth was intact.

So, he saw a tattoo of an eye on the skin, a weird, lifelike eye tattoo.

The eyes are elongated, and the pupils inside are nearly triangular, and if you look at it for a long time, you will have an illusion. That's when the pupils are turning, as if to suck the whole world in.

This!

Pobobo Vich clenched his fists sharply, his eyes widened, his throat felt a dryness, and an indescribable emotion was born in his heart. Not because of fear, but because of ...... This pattern he had seen before.

Yes, he had seen it before, and this pattern was very important to him, and it was an important reason for him to come to Jialan City!

Many years ago, it was because the clue of this eye was broken and the investigation was forced to be interrupted, that he stayed in Jialan City until now, almost forgetting the original purpose.

Unexpectedly, this pattern reappeared.

So, is the other party aware that he is investigating and is ready to kill him?

No, this is as unreasonable as the reasoning of the Bloodfang Thieves. Too much time has passed, and even if the other party really notices it, he will not be so slow to react.

What exactly is the reason for that?

Pobovich stood in the pile of corpses, his eyes moving rapidly, his constant thoughts, his fists clenched tighter and tighter.

He was now extremely confused and irritable, and he wanted to shout and vent very much.

For a moment, he took a deep breath and tried to control himself to calm down.

He knows very well that he usually does things more out-of-the-box, not very reliable, and even a little funny. That's because he thinks it's all trivial, he doesn't care, it's just fun and pleasing to his heart. That's why he inexplicably fought with Richard to snatch the right to educate Harry and Cathy.

But now it's different.

The pattern he saw was a knot in his heart, an absolute matter, and he had to investigate it clearly.

So......

"Whew-"

Popobol Vich took a deep breath, and a flame grew in the palm of his hand, pressing it against the tattoo, burning it. Looking around, no one noticed, and walked away quickly, ready to think about the long term.

......

Shortly after Popopol Vicch left, a man came out of the darkness, and he appeared in the same direction that Richard had been looking at.

I saw that his whole body was wrapped in a heavy black robe, his face was as pale as a dead man, and his eyes were like two ice balls, occasionally rounded.

He didn't approach the dead body, just looked at it from a distance, then turned his head to look at the Blue Lagoon Manor, and then at the direction in which Popovich had left. Frowning in thought, his expression slightly surprised and incomprehensible, then cautiously retreated into the darkness and disappeared.

......
