Chapter 367: Eternal Puzzle?
Pandora frowned and walked to the Golden Mask, and when she saw the golden appearance of the Golden Mask, her eyes lit up obviously, and the next moment she lifted her feet and reached out to touch the Golden Mask.
Touched it!
Pandora grabbed the corner of the golden mask and pulled it down hard.
The Golden Mask cried.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! ...... You let go of me, you stop!"
Pandora didn't seem to hear at all, and didn't let go of her hand at all, but continued to exert her strength, using the power of the dragons.
"Whoa!"
The golden mask fixed to the wall, which had little room for struggle at all, was pulled off by Pando and grabbed in his hand.
Pandora's eyes sparkled as she looked at the Golden Mask, and the Golden Mask trembled: "You...... Don't mess around...... You...... Ahh
The Golden Mask screamed as Pandora unceremoniously opened her mouth and bit down.
"Click!"
A tooth mark.
Well, this one is real gold.
"Click!"
Another tooth mark.
Well, this one is also real gold.
"Click!"
"The third tooth mark.
Well, this one is still real gold.
Could it be that such a large piece of gold is real gold? It takes a few more bites.
Pandora thought earnestly and opened her mouth again.
"Click......"
Golden Mask's scream turned into a scream: "Ahh You...... Don't bite, stop...... No, stop talking!"
......
Unaware of what happened to the Golden Mask, Richard returned to the underground spell lab as the Golden Mask screamed.
Closing the suitcase and placing it in the Spatial Iron Ring, Richard strode outside, leaving the spell lab and arriving at the main lab on the ground.
Then he walked out of the main laboratory, out of the courtyard, and headed to the White Rock Tower Academy.
In Richard's opinion, since the temple spirit did not know about the so-called metal balls, he had to go to the library of the White Rock Tower Academy to find some information.
......
Soon, arrive at the White Rock Tower Academy.
The situation here made Richard a little surprised and a little expected.
It was clear that the fire that had been the night before was caused by a premeditated attack, and even if the fire was extinguished, some of the damage could not have been repaired in time. And the White Rock Tower Academy, although not the core area of the White Rock Tower Wizarding Society complex, was also significantly damaged during the attack.
Huge craters appeared in several places on the ground, cracks around the pits, a wall was pitted with green acid corrosion, and several buildings collapsed.
A large number of strange, cold-faced wizards walked around the academy, all of whom had been urgently transferred back from the rest of White Rock City by the White Rock Tower, and many more were on their way back.
In addition to wizards, patrols composed of wizard apprentices can be seen in the academy from time to time, and each of the wizard apprentices in the patrol exudes not weak mana fluctuations and a faint evil aura, which shows that it is not an ordinary existence, but a "preparatory wizard" who has killed and reached the peak of a third-level wizard apprentice.
Obviously, the attack made the entire White Stone Tower highly vigilant and began to respond with all its strength. Because of this, Richard encountered three inspections along the way, and if it weren't for the identity plate, he wouldn't have been able to pass the test at all.
Eventually, Richard made it to the library of the White Rock Tower.
......
Library.
Although the White Rock Tower Academy was attacked, it did not affect the normal teaching life, so the library was almost the same as before - there were many studious students gathered, all reading and studying with their heads down.
The only difference is that the atmosphere in the air is somewhat oppressive, depressingly suffocating - the vigilance and tension generated by the upper floors of the White Stone Tower are spreading from top to bottom, quietly infiltrating every corner.
Richard walked slowly through the library, and after walking for a while, his eyes swept to an acquaintance, Prince Gro.
At this time, Gro was holding a copy of "Introduction to Spells - The Power of Fire" and looking at it, his brows furrowed, as if he was seriously thinking about the content on it, and he often looked at it for a long time before wetting his fingers with saliva and turning to the next page.
Richard sat down across from the other table and tapped on the table.
"Huh?" Gro was stunned for a moment, put down the book, and saw Richard's eyes wide, "Your Excellency Richard, you're back." β
"Yes. Richard nodded.
Gro gave Richard a quick look and asked with some concern, "Nothing happened to you, did you?"
"How?"
"Don't you know, last night, inside the academy...... Well, it's not in the academy, it's the whole White Stone Tower that has a big incident, I heard that there are people with bad intentions who want to invade, but they are stopped by the wizards. However, the strength of the other party is very strong, the wizards stopped it, and they themselves have suffered a lot of losses, and now they are constantly mobilizing people from other places to come back, preparing to eradicate all the invading people!"
"That's it. Richard said softly, "I've heard some news, and it's a bit dangerous. "I've heard of it, I saw it with my own eyes last night.
"So......" Gro took a deep breath and looked at Richard, "Your Excellency Richard, you have to be careful. Now that the situation is so chaotic, and you've been living outside, without the protection of the wizards, maybe something will happen, or ...... You're moving back?"
"This ...... Let me think about it. Richard said. He knew that Groh had good intentions, but it was clearly not for him. Take his pile of research as an example, there is no problem with quietly researching outside, and if you dare to get to the academy, once it is exposed, it will be absolutely fatal. Therefore, if something happens outside, there will be no accident, but if you move back, something will definitely happen.
"Well, that's fine. Gro shrugged, looked at Richard's appearance, and understood a little that it was impossible to move back, so he didn't discuss the topic any further.
Suddenly thinking of something, looking at Richard, Gro spoke up again, and asked: "By the way, Your Excellency Richard, what do you want to do when you come back this time? Last time, you wanted to experience what it was like to stay in the academy, but this time it won't be the same, right? But I heard that the dormitory building you are in was attacked by the aftermath of the spell last night, and although there is nothing serious, all the people have moved out and need to be repaired before they can continue to live." β
"Well, that's a pity. But that's okay, I'm coming back this time just to find some materials from the library. Richard said, standing up as he spoke, "Okay, I won't bother you for now, you continue to read your book, and I'll go find the information." I'll talk to you when I find it. β
"It's fine. β
Richard stepped to the side, and Gro lowered his head to continue reading.
Richard stepped aside, but as soon as he took a few steps, his gaze swept to an acquaintance, Ruth, the princess of the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom.
At this time, Ruth was surrounded by several men, each of them with a respectful face. Rickey looked at it and guessed that this should be what Bucky said before, Ruth's dozen fiancΓ©s, that is, slaves who owe money.
When Richard was thinking like this, Ruth looked over, and was obviously stunned when she saw Richard, and the next moment she subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, clamped her legs, and widened her eyes to reveal a frightened, frightened and angry gaze.
The few people gathered around Ruth noticed that something was wrong with Ruth, looked at Richard with a little puzzlement, and then showed a vigilant expression: "Who are you?"
After speaking, he quickly looked at Ruth and asked in a low voice: "Ruth, who is he? Did he bully you and need us to teach him a lesson? Didn't you just say that you don't believe that we can protect you in such a dangerous situation, and we will prove it to you now." As long as we do a good job, you can postpone our debt for a few more days. β
Hearing this, Ruth didn't say anything at all, just looked at Richard, her eyes widening and widening, as if she was bringing back bad memories.
Richard raised his hand to say hello, and Ruth turned around like a rabbit and ran. The people gathered around him were stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him, shouting and running away.
"Ruth, what's wrong......"
"Ruth, what the hell is going on......"
"Ruth, didn't that person murder you just now......
"Ruth ......"
Richard raised an eyebrow as the group disappeared, then shook his head. Originally, he also wanted to ease the relationship with Ruth, after all, it was inevitable that there would be no matter of the Black Spirit Empire in the future. But it seems that there is no chance this time, wait for next time.
Shaking his head, Richard strode to the bookshelf and began to search for books in earnest.
But after searching for half a day, nothing was found.
Richard reluctantly accepted this reality, and after chatting with Groh for a while, he left the Whitestone Tower Academy.
......
After leaving the academy, Richard did not immediately return to the laboratory, but got into a carriage and went to the residence of the university scholar Sauradia.
Although Richard was a little wary of Suradies, he still felt that it was more helpful to ask the other party for advice.
Who knows, when he arrived at the door of the other party's mansion, he was blocked back. The servant who guarded the door clearly informed: "This guest, I'm sorry, the scholar Suradies has gone far away, and he has been away for a long time, and he doesn't know when he will return." If you want to visit, you might as well wait a while to try your luck. β
Richard returned.
On the way back, Richard squinted at the metal ball he was holding in his hand and muttered to himself, "What the hell is this......?" Never be able to untie it?"
......
