Capítulo 1054: Chapter 1052: Hatred Redirected
The voice that sounded was very hoarse and indistinct, making it feel as if there was a big lump of old phlegm in the throat.
“Hmm, let’s see, what did I discover? A wizard I’ve never seen before, quietly ca to Saint Louis City and had a conversation with the forr young lady of the Pompo Family. I wonder if you could tell what you were discussing, and whether it has anything to do with the upcoming action to sabotage Saint Louis City?”
Richard frowned and turned to look behind him, only to see a Black Robed Wizard appear there.
Thinking quickly, with just a few glances, Richard sorted out the situation. It was not surprising that the other party was once a wizard of the Pompo Family and was now standing on the opposing side.
The other party’s strength shouldn’t be too weak. Earlier, when he left with Annie, he didn’t deliberately hide too much, so the other party could follow so spell traces he left behind and find this place—though a long while later.
Judging by the opponent’s appearance, they should be at the level of a Second-level Wizard Peak or a Third-level Wizard.
So, what to do next?
Should he kill him outright?
That seems unnecessary since there isn’t a direct conflict of interest between them. Killing him would only cause chaos in Saint Louis City, a place where the Spider Web has so arrangents. Since Richard plans to cooperate with the Spider Web later, disrupting their arrangents might be troubleso, and it would be difficult to explain to the Black-faced Elder Oscar.
However, ignoring him is also not possible; given the opponent’s current attitude, he is unlikely to let it go easily.
“What’s the matter, don’t want to tell ?” The Black Robed Wizard looked over with a sowhat sinister tone and said, “If that’s the case, then I won’t ask you. Perhaps I’ll just capture you first. Then I’ll catch that young lady who just left and slowly interrogate her. I’ll find out eventually.”
“Hoo——”
Richard exhaled lightly, having made up his mind.
Looking at the Black Robed Wizard, he spoke up, “You know, you really shouldn’t have co here.”
“Shouldn’t have?” The Black Robed Wizard’s voice suddenly turned sharp, as if swallowing down a mouthful of thick phlegm, “You could co here, so why can’t I co here?”
“The reason is simple. I can co because I can leave smoothly. As for you, coming here might an you have to be carried out.” Richard said calmly.
“Hmm?” The Black Robed Wizard was taken aback and hadn’t yet reacted to Richard’s words when he saw one of Richard’s hands suddenly raise.
The Black Robed Wizard beca very alert, attempting to resist, but in the next mont, Richard seemingly teleported in front of him, pressing a palm against his face.
In an instant, the Black Robed Wizard felt the whole sky turn dark, followed by the world quickly blacking out.
After that, he heard a “thud,” as if sothing fell heavily to the ground, and he quickly lost consciousness.
…
In the alley, Richard looked at the unconscious Black Robed Wizard at his feet, shaking his head lightly, as a ball of golden light in his hand slowly dissipated, feeling a sense of realization.
All along, his combat was inclined towards long-range, especially when dealing with high-power targets like Long i’er.
But for low-power targets, there was no need to make things complicated. Using the ultra-high speed provided by Void Magic, and strengthening his body with the Achilles Armor, he could strike decisively before the opponent could react, enough to resolve the opponent.
Of course, this was more convenient when dealing with a single enemy. When facing a large number of enemies, using a wave of Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles for a carpet bombing was more efficient.
Briefly summing up, Richard stepped out of the alley.
Shortly after Richard left, a patrol of soldiers passed by the mouth of the alley, and one of them inadvertently glanced into the alley, spotting sothing, and his eyes widened.
“Master Xinuo?”
The soldier exclaid, sowhat panicky, and led his companions into the alley, then awkwardly carried the unconscious Black Robed Wizard out, much like lifting a dead pig.
…
Over an hour later.
“Glug glug!”
The Black Robed Wizard, known as Master Xinuo, was force-fed a large ceramic jar of pungent potion and slowly awoke from his coma, seeing a circle of people surrounding him. Among them were several wizard colleagues, Magic Knights, and power holders, such as Gao Wen.
These people looked at him with complex expressions once they saw him awaken—looking at this self-proclaid third most powerful “strong wizard” in Saint Louis City.
anwhile, Richard had already left Saint Louis City, setting out on his return to Pompeii Town.
…
Two days later.
Richard successfully returned to Pompeii Town.
He entered residence No. 1248 in Pompeii Town, followed the downward passage to reach the underground space, and then entered Eden.
Within Eden, there were noticeable changes compared to when he left—not big but definitely not small changes either.
As he saw, one wall of Research Room No.3 had been broken open with a large, shocking hole, causing the entire Research Room No.3 to be wobbly and almost turning into a hazardous structure. The open space in front of the main laboratory was covered with large and small dents, and many traces of spell attacks. The surrounding buildings were also sowhat affected, although not seriously, they still needed repairs.
At this ti, Pandora and the Witch Demon Elder were standing on the open space in front of the main laboratory, busy manipulating a pile of bones as if they were creating a brand new Magic Puppet. It seed that Pandora and the Witch Demon Elder had so disagreents in certain aspects, continuously arguing, with their voices faintly reaching his ears.
“According to my calculations, this place must be designed this way, otherwise…”
“You little girl, what do you understand? I’ve made so many Magic Puppets and never like this. I dare say this design is absolutely unreasonable and must be changed back…”
“Hah, what do I know? That should be my line—what do you know? Do you understand definite integrals? Do you understand indefinite integrals? Do you understand the connection and difference between indefinite integrals and definite integrals? If you can say it, I’ll admit I’m wrong and you’re right…”
“Hey, little girl, you’re going too far…”
“Obviously, you started it…”
Watching Pandora and the Witch Demon Elder arguing more and more fiercely, seemingly on the verge of fighting, Richard couldn’t help but smile wryly. Shaking his head, he coughed loudly to indicate that he had returned.
“Cough cough!”
This finally caught the attention of the bickering Pandora and Witch Demon Elder, and the two of them quickly turned their heads to look, giving two completely different reactions.
“Richard, you’re back!” Pandora said with so surprise.
“Kid, you returned at last!” The Witch Demon Elder was rather annoyed, instantly transferring his resentnt from Pandora to Richard, as if Richard had a giant magnet on him, his eyes widening.
