Richard asked, "What should I do to prepare? Also, I need a batch of basic magic materials, at least a few standard elementary builds." ”

"It's all there, but it can't be more. Teleportation between planes consumes a lot of mana crystals, and a completely new plane, the plane passage is not stable. The more powerful the magic item in the passage, the more it will affect the stability of the passage, and it will be troublesome if it causes spatial turbulence. Because this time you are going to explore a low-level plane, personnel are more important than magic equipment. Most of the quota of Mana Crystals is used for personnel teleportation. ”

Richard nodded, in understanding.

Gordon pondered again for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Boy, you have also grown up, so there is one thing to tell you." It is said that you had an initiation ceremony when you were a child......"

Richard's heart beat a little faster, and he instinctively told him that the secrets of the enlightenment ritual could not be told to anyone. There's no reason, just gut feeling. This is especially true of the True Talent that has never been recorded in the Sacred Canon of the Lady of the Moon.

But Gordon didn't wait for him to answer, but continued, "I heard that there was some accident during that ceremony, so your life will be different from ordinary people in the future. In the next few years, there's a good chance that shadow creatures will suddenly appear around you, and they will appear at any time, in uncertain numbers and strength. It's pretty easy to deal with them, blast them to smithereens with your arcane energy, and remember that fire and ice are relatively ineffective. Gordon looked Richard up and down, as if for the first time a little regret.

"So you have to be alert at all times and try to improve your strength. Tomorrow, your first stop will be the death training camp of our Akmund family, where the children of the commoners and slaves of the family are trained to survive the fittest and cultivate the strong by death. You can choose someone there to be your soul guard. But you must choose carefully, because I only have one soul contract in my hand, it is a gift from the Eternal Dragon Palace, and generally you can only get this kind of thing from the Eternal Dragon Palace, so you don't want to have a second copy in a short time. After choosing the soul guard, immediately go to the port of Mokvand, find the port lord Mofan, and say that you are here to choose slaves. He will arrange a qiē for you, and you can pick the most suitable fighter there. The principle of selection is fine, not more. ”

After the admonition, Gordon, who seemed a little verbose, asked again, "Okay, boy, do you have anything to say to me?"

Richard thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Let's wait until I come back alive." ”

Just as Richard was about to leave, Gordon suddenly stopped him and said, "I almost forgot one thing! Akmund's first principle! Before you go to other planes, you must first choose a mate, at least one." And tonight, I have to hurry up and finish the matter for Lao Tzu, and leave the packing to the housekeeper. Come on, who do you want to be your partner? Don't be shy, you can take any of them!Ah, by the way, as a bystander, I have a good candidate, would you like to hear it?"

"Who—is it Daimei?" asked Richard, and of all the young people he had ever met, Daimei had the most powerful potential.

"Of course not that little girl! it's your cousin, Count Elijie. Gordon said with a smile.

"What?" Richard almost cried out.

As Akmund, who has been second only to Gordon in recent times, the name of Alijie God of War has begun to spread within the Holy Alliance. Moreover, as the new earl of the Holy Alliance, Elijie's title and territory are already second only to the two marquis of Gordon and Sauron.

Unlike Gordon, who relied on the powerful Thirteen Knights to fight, Elijie was more able to embody outstanding battlefield control and command talent. Even within the Akmund family, there was a voice that Gordon would not be an opponent for Alijie with the same military power.

During the Faulk conspiracy that day, Richard also met Elijie, and was extremely impressed by her beauty, red hair, scars, murderous aura, and greatsword. This is a woman who smells of wind and fire all over her body, but has a pair of eyes that are extremely cold. If you describe it intuitively, then she is a piece of ice wrapped in flames, but there is thunder in the heart of the ice.

But this goddess of war woman can't get in touch with her partner anyway.

Richard smiled bitterly and said, "This...... The Count himself would never agree, would he?"

"She'll agree! because she couldn't find a better partner than you. If she doesn't agree, it's fine, just open a council of elders and assign you directly to her! Anyway, now the council of elders is yours and I have the final say!" Gordon said with confidence, but Richard always felt that Gordon's smile at the moment always had a hint of conspiracy.

"Hurry up and settle down first! You have multiple options anyway. As for your cousin, you can put it aside for now, because she has already returned to the territory, and I heard that there has just been a riot in her newly defeated territory. It's a pity that she would have left two days late!" said Gordon, with some regret.

Richard instinctively felt that the end of being so associated with the Count might well be a tragedy, and he was still torn between the struggles and contradictions, finding it difficult to accept such an inseparable connection with Akmund at once. Although in reality he could not cut ties with Akmund at all.

After a deep sigh, a figure suddenly passed through his heart, so he said without thinking: "Just choose Coco, and the next one will be when I come back." ”

"Coco?" Gordon was stunned, apparently a name that was almost completely unfamiliar to him.

"Coco Mary Akmund. "Richard word by word. His calm expression made Gordon understand that there was no change in the matter.

Gordon didn't dwell too much on this matter, but took a deep look at Richard and said, "Remember, boy, every decision you make when you arrive at the Alien Plane is a matter of life or death for all those who follow you!

The door opened quietly, and the old butler entered.

Gordon pointed to Richard and instructed, "Take this kid to that ...... Well, Coco go there. From tonight onwards, Coco will be his companion!"

The butler looked slightly surprised, but immediately regained his composure and left with Richard.

"Bang!" After Richard left, Gordon slammed his fist on the desk!

Until now, he hadn't remembered who that Coco was. This can only mean one thing, that is, Coco has no special abilities at all, and as a partner, looking for her is no different from finding any non-Akmund woman.

After a long while, Gordon's face soothed, and he only sighed and shook his head.
