"Do you think that the master seems to be in a particularly high mood today? Zong Hu turned around and asked,

Scarlet shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said, "I am really excited, did you just steal which of the three ** gods?" ”

Zong Hu smiled evilly and blinked and said: "Who knows, it's normal to eat, I see that those goddess officials have been waiting for a long time, and if it drags on, it is estimated that the three goddesses will not be able to stand it first, so they will be punished by the gods." ”

Scarlet glanced at Zong Hu and said, "Why don't you go and eat them all, lest you let them seduce the master." ”

"No interest, don't forget that I'm the same as you. Zong Hu said lightly,

"I'm different from you. ”

"Maybe" Zong Hu didn't want to debate with Scarlet on this topic,

At this time, the ogre lord sitting next to him suddenly said, "How do I think, the head looks like he has just been flattened. ”

Zong Hu was stunned: "Flattened, flattened by whom, who else can beat the master here now, don't be kidding." ”

Tiramisu stopped talking, he looked confused, although intellectually he felt that Zonghu's words made sense, but the ogre lord was sometimes a creature that instinctively prevailed, and he still felt extremely awkward,

After a while, he muttered again: "I also think that the head seems to have just been flattened." ”

Sanshu was not as cautious as Tiramisu, and his voice was very loud, and at this time, Richard happened to be covered in blood and came out of the plane portal, and his face suddenly became quite embarrassed, obviously hearing the words of Sanshu,

Sanzhuo immediately covered his mouth, looking like he didn't say anything,

Richard smiled helplessly, ignored these guys, and left in a hurry, and not long after, Richard sent a message asking his followers to guard the plane portal and return to Norland once.

A moment later, a split brain rose into the air in the distance, carrying Richard away quickly,

The followers watched Richard walk away, the atmosphere suddenly changed, it became depressing and weird, everyone began to make eye contact, but the tacit understanding with each other did not seem to be particularly good, and in the end it did not convey any results.

After a long time, Zong Hu said: "The master won't really be flattened." ”

"The point is, who that person is. Crimson said,

And the people were silent again,

It is very far from the Dragon Valley to the Blue Water Oasis City, and the straight-line distance is more than 7,000 kilometers, and the brood has already arranged the distractions of pick-up and drop-off along the way, but it will take two days to return to Oasis City.

At this moment, in the territory of the Iron Triangle Empire, a total of four transport troops are marching, if you count the flying flies in the air, then there are seven transport teams, in the rear of the principality's army, a huge and complex logistics network operates silently, supporting the war on the front line, and the brain of this network is Raymond,

Raymond placed his station in a small town in the empire, which happened to be at the central node of the entire transportation network, and instructions could be easily transmitted to various places from the distraction.

Every day, Raymond is here to issue numerous instructions, scheduling the operation of the entire logistics system, this work, even thinkers can not do better than Raymond, because Raymond can predict Richard's strategic movements from vague instructions, and prepare accordingly, so as to leave enough margin,

Early that morning, Raymond sat in front of the office as usual, and began to connect the various sub-brains with his consciousness, and he suddenly found that a group of sub-brains had abnormal movements, and that route was not in any of his plans.

Raymond's gaze fell on the map, connecting the locations of all the abnormal movements, and immediately sketched a clear route in his mind, this route went from the Dragon Valley to the Blue Water Oasis City, but there was a turning point in the center, and the turning point was in the town where Raymond landed,

Raymond was slightly startled, then a wry smile appeared on his face, got up and walked to the window, pushed the window open,

A small black dot appeared in the distant sky, and in a blink of an eye, a familiar figure jumped from the black dot, floating straight in front of Raymond, it was Richard,

"Long time no see, Richard, come in and talk. Raymond smiled bitterly and let go of the window,

Richard flew in and landed slowly, he didn't speak immediately, he first walked around the room, took everything in his eyes, and then sat down in the place where Raymond was used to sitting, and looked at Raymond quietly,

Calculated, the current Raymond is already in his thirties, Faro's time flows fast, and before he knows it, he has grown old, and at this moment Raymond has a short beard, which is completely the appearance of a mature man, although the facial features are still handsome, but when he was young, he was sharpened into elegance by the years with a little thin elegance.

Raymond stroked the short beard under his chin, and also looked at Richard calmly,

Richard sighed and spoke first, "Aren't you going to say something?" ”

"My habit is to wait for someone else to speak first, so that I don't make unnecessary mistakes. Raymond smiled,

Richard nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it first, you won't say you don't know about the soul replenishment plan." ”

Raymond said calmly: "That's right, I provided it to the brood." ”

Richard took a deep breath and said, "You almost ruined my entire career." ”

"I regret that it didn't work, no, it should be said that it didn't work out completely, now the brood is completely free, although you still have cooperation, but you can no longer command it as freely as before, your war potential, it can be said that it has been lost in half, outsiders have a very pertinent evaluation of our scholar mage: never use magic to measure a scholar mage. ”

Richard calmed down at this time, looked at Raymond carefully, and said: "From the time I first set foot on Faust, you planned to assassinate me, and then led the army into Faro to attack me, as if if I didn't die, you would never be at ease, I have such a big threat." ”

"That's the hatred of the older generation, and you're the best of the younger generation in Akmund, there's nothing wrong with letting the hatred fall on you, and, judging from the results now, I'm not paying too much attention to you, but not enough. Raymond said,

"It's not just that, forget it, it's all in the past, and it doesn't make sense to know it. Richard sighed again and said, "You know, I've been thinking about what to do with you, but it always seems that there is no best choice, kill you, you don't care anyway, and torture** It is the most ordinary way, presumably you have 10,000 ways to deal with it, I did think about enslaving and torturing the people around you, and I also thought about destroying the entire Joseph family, but what's the point of this, in your heart, in fact, they don't matter at all, you don't care if they are dead or alive, as a scholar mage, you are indeed very qualified: you are not a person at all, but a cold alchemy machine. ”

Raymond was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's true." ”

"I don't understand now what the meaning and purpose of the scholars and mages is. ”

"Our purpose is clear, to discover the ultimate secrets of the world and to lead humanity and other intelligent races up the evolutionary ladder. ”

Richard sneered and said, "Do you believe that a group of alchemy machines with no emotion and no sense of responsibility will lead mankind to a better future?" ”

"Human beings sometimes become stupid precisely because there are too many feelings and burdens. Raymond had completely calmed down, and stated in a tone of course,

"A bunch of maniacs. Richard didn't want to argue, so he made a direct judgment,

"It's a group of sober and wise men. Raymond corrected Richard, then smiled and said, " What are you going to do with me now, kill me, this is obviously not a wise choice, the benefits I can bring you are far greater than that bit of hatred, besides, the soul replenishment plan has been executed, the facts have become a fact, even the brood itself has reached an agreement with me, let me continue to work for you, help you lubricate this huge war machine, if you want, you can even hand over Faro to me, you don't have to care about anything, it only takes twenty years, at most twenty years, Norland time is less than two years, the entire plane is yours, every corner, including the kingdom of God in the sky。 ”

Raymond paused, with a demagogic smile, and said softly: "Richard, the biggest weakness of your career must be very clear to you, your followers are all strong, there are no lords, only me and Sarenwell can be competent lords, but do you think that the prince who has mastered an empire and is a native of this plane will be willing to surrender to you, even if he is sincere." ”

At this time, Leia walked in with a breakfast plate, and suddenly saw Richard, and exclaimed, the plate fell off his hand and fell to the ground, Richard didn't even look at her, just stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and the falling plate floated up again and returned to Leia's hand,

"Richard, Your Excellency, why are you here I mean, so suddenly" Leia stammered,

Richard pressed his hand down, and Leia immediately stopped talking, and could only look at Richard with pleading eyes,

Raymond didn't seem to see Leia, his expression was relaxed, he spread his hands, and asked: "So, Richard, you can see the best choice, aren't you, you are the one who wants to do great things, there are so many people who have to rely on you to survive, live, and develop, in front of these things, feelings are really not worth mentioning, isn't it good like now, you do your big things, leave trivial things to me, what a perfect cooperation, now, you should continue to hurry, I can also start eating breakfast." ”

Richard suddenly laughed and said, "I admit that you do have a point, what should have happened has already happened, and I should consider maximizing the existing benefits." ”

"That's true. Raymond laughed too, but his smile suddenly stiffened, and the hand that wanted to touch the shortbeard stopped in mid-air, unable to reach his destination again.

A dagger, already pierced deep into Raymond's heart,

Raymond was stunned and slowly lowered his head, and then he saw that the other end of the dagger was in Richard's hand.

"You, you actually" Raymond was stunned, and he couldn't say a complete sentence,

Richard said lightly: "If I kill you, my interests will indeed be damaged, but if I don't kill you, I really can't pass my own level." ”
