Richard didn't think about it, instinctively knocked on the desk, and the elf knife placed on the side of the table suddenly came out of its sheath and jumped into Richard's right hand In the narrow study, the long elf knife was originally very difficult to use, but Richard swung the knife like the wind, but it was like a fierce battle in the wilderness, wide open and closed, vertical and horizontal

The elven long knife hummed, and the blade suddenly burst out with patches of green light, and it was no longer possible to see the blade clearly

The two shadow warriors appeared at some point, each holding a shadow axe, and the blade of the axe slashed right where Richard was originally standing, and if Richard reacted a little slower, he would be split by these two shadow warriors whose strength was equivalent to level fifteen

The Shadow Warrior missed the blow and raised his head with his axe, just as he wanted to continue the pursuit, but his eyes were filled with countless turquoise sword lights

The first seemingly gentle and harmless blue sword light gently swept across the shadow warrior's chest, but it was like water falling into boiling oil, instantly making all the shadows around the sword light boil, and the shadow power was constantly torn out of the body, and then annihilated by the blue sword light

The Shadow Warrior suddenly screamed in pain, their shouts were silent, but they had the power to tear the soul, somewhat similar to the effect of the Banshee's howl, but it was not so strong, but Richard's soul will was so strong, he had suffered the soul spear of the Troll Overseer head-on, and the howl of the two Shadow Warriors was only a breeze on the face

Richard held the knife in both hands, and when his left hand also held the hilt, a pair of forearms suddenly radiated a faint blood-colored brilliance, and the sword light was magnificent, a thousand times more intense, like a storm of rain towards the two shadow warriors

The sword rained down in an instant, and then poured on the opposite wall, leaving countless criss-crossing notches

The two shadow warriors froze in place, and a web of countless green threads suddenly appeared on their bodies, and then their bodies and the weapons in their hands suddenly exploded, exploding into hundreds of thin shadows, and then being annihilated by the green threads

With a few soft clicks, the four shadow drills fell to the floor, bouncing a few times and rolling in all directions

Richard held the knife in both hands, still maintaining the posture of waving the knife straight forward, but he was surprised, and he couldn't believe that this time he wiped out four shadow lives so lightly Like last time, the giant axe in the hands of the two shadow warriors is actually a ** shadow life

Richard remembered the last time he fought the Shadow Samurai alone, but he almost took his life

However, those dense notches on the opposite wall faithfully recorded how many knives Richard took out at that moment, this is not only because of the magic armament, but also because of the power of life annihilation, Richard has a life annihilation in each arm, and the two are superimposed together, showing the real terrifying power

This is the true face of life, which is known as the number one killer

In comparison, the additional damage of the rich vitality in the elven long knife to the shadow creatures was insignificant

However, as soon as the knife came out, Richard suddenly felt extremely empty in his body, no matter the magic body, it was completely consumed, his hands were so weak that he almost couldn't even hold the knife

While pursuing the ultimate killing power, the consumption is also equally terrifying This is a construction prepared for the powerhouses above the Holy Domain, but Richard used it on himself, and it was two at a time, and the result was really amazing, but it also directly drained Richard

Richard directly threw the elf knife to the ground, and forcibly found a bottle of vitality potion, almost unable to pull out the cork, and it took several times to pour the vitality potion, Richard directly sat on the chair, waiting for his body to recover

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of small footsteps at the door of the study, and then there was a soft knock on the door

Richard was awe-inspired, who would come to the study at this time? Listening to the knock on the door, it was not the old butler at all, but like a weak girl, but the favorite disguise of the assassin killer was a seemingly harmless girl, a child, or an old man

"Who, wait a minute" Richard quietly adjusted his posture, took out the book from his arms, gently placed it on the desk, and then opened it

"It's me, master," Coco's voice came from outside the door

"Come in," Richard said calmly, but in private he did not dare to relax at all

The door opened, and Coco walked in

Richard's eyes immediately shot a faint light, sweeping her whole body up and down, seeing that the girl in front of him was not a killer disguise, and he didn't have any murder weapons on his body, Richard was really relieved, but he still maintained full vigilance, and didn't dare to relax a little, somehow, Richard always felt as if there was some great danger hidden in the dark, but no matter how he perceived and probed, he couldn't find out where the source of the danger was

"Coco, why don't you sleep at such a late hour?" asked Richard lightly

Coco was obviously extremely nervous, her hands twisted the corners of her clothes hard, but she didn't know how to speak, and a full minute passed like this, and she finally made up her mind, took a folded piece of paper from her bosom, spread it out, and put it in front of Richard, and then took two steps back, waiting for Richard's fate

Richard was a little strange, and when he opened the paper, the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange

The paper was a miniature version of the map on Richard's wall, especially the annotations Richard had given to the various territories, all of which were clearly recorded

Richard pondered for a moment and asked, "You drew this thing?"

"Yes," Coco's voice was calm

"How much can this thing sell for?" asked Richard

"Someone is willing to buy it for 10,000 gold coins"

"You don't have much chance of leaving the floating islands, how do you know how much this map can sell?" Richard continued

"Yes...... One of Erwin's former colleagues, he approached me and said he wanted to get information on your next move, and they robbed the sacrifice, and now they are very worried," Coco said

"The map is good, handed it over?"

"Without me...... After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't get that step, so ......"

Richard smiled indifferently and said, "It's good that it's not sold, you can actually hide this matter, for example, this thing, as long as you tear it up and throw it away, no one will know what you did."

Coco suddenly had a rare courage and said, "I...... In that case, I will not be able to sleep and speak out, and it will be better to be punished, than to be in pain all the time like I am now."

Richard threw the map on the table, groaned, and asked, "Are you short of money?"

"Why don't you think I hate you?" asked Coco, plucking up the courage to rhetorically

Richard just smiled and repeated his question: "Are you short of money?"

Coco's courage disappeared in an instant, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Yes"

"As I recall, you, as my partner, have always received three times the standard allowance"

Coco raised her head, looked directly at Richard, and said, "But that's not enough for my father's debts, and my brother's judgment all need money, a lot of money."

"Is 10,000 gold coins enough?"

“...... Barely ......"

Richard nodded, now he understood that Coco had to be very brave to sell the map for this decision, and she could at least temporarily ease the family's plight, but in the end, she handed it over

Richard tapped on the table and began to think seriously about the problem she was facing, and after a moment said, "Well, my principle is that I can forgive mistakes, but I will never tolerate betrayal, and that honest people should be rewardedSince this map has not been sold, then this matter is well settled as if your father's debt had not occurred, and you can go to the old butler and ask him to withdraw the gold from my property and pay those debts to your brother...... The nature of what he did was too bad, and all I could do was to have someone take care of him properly, so that he would not be disabled or die during the hard labor, and I could try to give the victims a compensation, and if they were willing to accept the compensation and forgive your brother for what he had done, then the time limit of the hard labor could be appropriately shortened, but that was all, and the old steward should grasp it."

Coco has turned from sadness to surprise, and once the many days of worry are resolved, her tears can no longer be stopped, like a spring

Richard picked up the map, stuffed it back to Coco, and said with a smile: "This map is well drawn, don't waste it if you take it back, you can sell it to whomever you want, but 10,000 is too cheap, a fixed price, less than 50,000 will not be sold"

Coco looked up in surprise and said, "No, I can't do this"

"Why can't you?" Richard said with a smile, "This is what I asked you to sell, and the nature of your own private transaction is completely different, you just do it, and by the way, you can also earn a sum of gold coins from these guys, since it is too much, then you don't make money in vain, but the asking price you started with is indeed low, and our Akmund's information is now much more precious than before."

"I ...... So, I'll change the markings on the map," Coco said

Richard smiled indifferently and said, "I don't need to give it to them like this, what do I want to do, just let them know?

Coco nodded lightly, looked at Richard, and wanted to say something, but he didn't suddenly lose his courage, he couldn't say anything, but his face was completely red, and even the tips of his ears were all crimson

At this moment, the smile on Richard's face faded, he waved his hand, and said, "Okay, I'm tired now, you go back and rest first"

Coco didn't dare to say more, exited the study, and gently closed the door again

When Coco's footsteps were far away, Richard let out a long breath, and then said with a wry smile: "Lord White Night, you don't have to do this to me, we have no enmity"

Behind Richard came the hoarse mechanical voice of the white night: "How do you know it's me?"

"After all, we've been together for ten days, and I already remember the smell of you," Richard said with a wry smile

ps: It's a little late.
