The Magic Thief Chapter 30:
Riding a horse galloping in the forest.
Ribo is enjoying the feeling that the spirit of the wind is supporting his body.
This feeling is really long gone.
The speed of lightning, the wind blowing by, and the dust flying up from the ground with horseshoes trampling on the ground.
Ribo enjoys it all with pleasure.
The recovery of the body is much faster than he imagined. From being able to walk without crutches to being able to run, it takes much less time than being able to walk down the ground.
As for the kind of physical wastage that Eckert said, fortunately, it hasn't occurred until now.
Freila deserves to be a professional trainer, she is the absolute authority in this regard.
It has been two full weeks since the Earl Roberts ended his life tragically in the carriage because of his complete failure.
Because of the testimony of those special guests, Earl Robert's suicide did not bring any stormy seas to Searthburg.
Because he was under pressure from various nobles at the same time, and was jointly pressured by dozens of wealthy aristocrats, even His Majesty could not bear this terrible attack. He had to shirk all the responsibilities to that one. The body of the dead Earl Robert.
Those wealthy families who suffered huge losses naturally sought out the target of venting. Therefore, the family of Earl Roberto Baird was suddenly overwhelmed by fierce attacks from all sides.
Earl Rowanell, who was once favored by His Majesty the King, was also the imperial finance secretary who had to be transferred to the border city of Xibai to serve as a small finance director.
Except for the unfortunate Lord Earl who almost collapsed, the life of His Majesty the King was also not easy.
Although Earl Robert was used as a scapegoat, he still faced suspicion from the Presbyterian House.
Although the supreme has repeatedly explained that he did not vainly attempt to deprive the Medin family of hereditary territory, the Presbyterian House still imposed strict restrictions on His Majesty’s authorization.
All of this is news that Fez brought back from the capital.
Along with these news, there was the will of His Majesty the King.
Exactly as Eckert had expected, the king had to admit him as the lord of Searthburg. Regarding the arrogant behavior of Earl Robert in Searthburg, His Majesty the King would naturally show a deep hatred and abhorrence. He took back all the rewards once given to Earl Robert, including the title of Earl Robert and hereditary fief. Although Earl Robert’s guilt has not been publicly announced, the Presbyterian House has found him guilty of treason. .
Just remember the look of Earl Fesnan's joy when he said these words.
Ribo felt extremely funny.
His Majesty the King also sent an informal official letter, in which he apologized for appointing Earl Robert as his guardian.
In order to express apology, some funds were allocated from the national treasury for the restoration and reconstruction of Nangang. However, before the funds arrived, they were paid in advance by Fort Surth.
When Earl Fesnan talked about these things, he chose his words very carefully, obviously he was extremely afraid that Ruibo would refuse because of this.
Ribo knows what Earl Fesnan wants.
In fact, he did not expect His Majesty the King to fulfill his promise.
As a native of Nangang, Ruibo will never be stingy about things that are beneficial to Nangang, but he will not deal with it as His Majesty said.
The generosity of Sesberg, to make up for the losses of those wealthy and nobles, is not a stupid thing Ruibo is willing to do.
But taking this opportunity to get acquainted with the wealthy Franciscans is something Ribo and Eckert are quite willing to do.
Of course, their methods are far better than buying gold coins.
The glass factory that has just been established in Surthburg has already produced products one after another.
These quality and styles are definitely not inferior to the high-end imported goods shipped from Yi Lei, and they are quite attractive to those nobles.
In order to increase the value of these goods, Ribo did not come forward on his own, nor did Earl Fesnan manage it entirely.
The power of control is in the hands of the old Miss Medin.
For the old Miss Medin, the biggest gain is undoubtedly the control of those extremely powerful allies.
In addition to using those shiny glass products to hook these three big figures from the capital.
After Mr. Hyde recovered some of their losses through special means, these three families at least nominally became allies of the Medin family.
What makes Ribo feel extremely admired is that Mr. Hyde did not spend a gold coin in this incident from the beginning to the end.
But he has undoubtedly gained the most.
Not only did Mr. Meyer put out a large sum of money, and paid it to Mr. Hyde as funds to buy the pirates.
I got most of the wealth robbed by the pirates.
Of course, Eckert's clever means and shrewd business acumen played an absolute role.
A porcelain or vase worth at least 5,000 gold coins was assigned to Mr. Hyde’s name, and the robbed jewelry, as well as gold and silver utensils, were naturally distributed to those at two or three times the price. Pirates are the spoils of war.
After the spoils are divided, apart from the gold and silver coins, the pirates have dazzling gold and silver jewelry and some gorgeous silks.
These dazzling items are indeed valuable, but they are not worth much compared to the artworks, exquisite crafts, and exquisite porcelain from the East that Mr. Hyde got.
As for the losses recovered for the three great men, Mr. Hyde also made a lot of money from them.
All the items were purchased by Mr. Maier and the merchants in Nangang and given to the three big men.
Of course, in order not to make people suspicious.
There is a lot of fanfare to post a notice claiming to sell back the stolen works of art to the pirates. This pretentiousness is always going to be done.
Since the notice stated that the stolen goods were bought back with a large amount of money, the large amount of money naturally fell into Mr. Hyde's pocket.
Ribo calculated it up and down, and Mr. Hyde made at least nearly 10 million in income on this matter.
What's more, he has earned both fame and fortune.
The three great men felt very kind to the Lord Lord who recovered the loss for them.
……
Walking alone in the secluded Butte Forest.
It was this avenue that they rushed all the way to Surthburg in a hurry.
I was worried about possible attacks along the way.
Ted still has wounds on his body, which were left to save his life.
Ribo has never forgotten that thrilling scene. This is the first time in his life that he has danced on the balance of life and death.
Ribo is riding a horse along Tong County Avenue.
The trees on both sides of the avenue are no longer as lush as they were when they came.
The cold wind in late autumn has already turned their luxuriant branches into yellow.
Ribo has not been able to find the place where it was attacked. That place may have been opened up as another place for passers-by to rest.
Looking at these trees and the familiar fork in the distance, Ruibo was full of emotion.
This may be the last time he will set foot on the road to Nangang.
Because the decree of His Majesty the King also mentioned that he was invited to the capital to meet with His Majesty. The King would personally ask him about the atrocities committed by Earl Robert in Searthburg, and the atrocities suffered by Southport because of this atrocities. Loss.
Although this decree was a bit beyond Ribo's expectations, he didn't expect the King to let it go.
Even Eckert and Mr. Hyde thought that His Majesty the King would definitely come up with some other ways to reach out to Nangang.
It's just that this time he shouldn't use tough methods anymore.
Both Mr. Hyde and Mr. Meyer hope to reach an agreement with His Majesty that both parties can recognize.
The other thing that surprised Ribo was that there were three other lobbyists who came with Earl Fesnan.
These three lobbyists are the Earl of Fuchs, the Earl of Sabine, and the Earl of Syrup.
I remember what Earl Sabine said at the beginning: "Mr. Byndit, my family and I will greet Your Excellency warmly in the capital. Both you and your guardian, Mr. Hyde, are mine. Family, closest friend."
And the young man made a different statement: "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen also wants to see Your Excellency. She wants to meet you, a legendary little magician."
The words of the last one are even more meaningful: "The Presbyterian also hopes that you can make the trip. The Presbyterian has very important things. I want to discuss it with you. This time, what happened in Nangang and Surthburg All of this is undoubtedly a tragedy. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, we must learn from it, and you must have the most profound understanding of this."
Apparently these three gentlemen have their own plans.
Behind the Lord Fuchs is the Elder's House. The so-called important things are, in all likelihood, related to His Majesty’s mistakes this time.
Ribo is very doubtful that the Presbyterian House has been instigated and lured by the Lord Prince Phillips, and intends to take this opportunity to depose the King who is always troublesome.
This time the incident was extremely troublesome. Almost all the nobles in France were implicated, and nearly fifty families were directly offended.
The worst thing besides that is that every wealthy family, even those powerful wealthy families that control the Presbyterian House, all think that His Majesty the King has angered the Holy See.
There is almost no doubt that this is an absolutely fatal weakness when there is a prince who is staring at the throne.
Under such circumstances, it is not impossible that the Presbyterian House intends to abandon His Majesty the King and instead support Prince Phillips.
The young man must be standing on the side of the king. Whether the Queen’s invitation is a gesture of favor, or just a means of calming people’s hearts, Rui Bo doesn’t know.
The current situation is so bad for the king, people with a discerning eye can definitely see it, if His Majesty the King doesn't want to find ways to make up for it, it's an incredible thing.
The best and most effective way to make up for it is undoubtedly to close the relationship with Ruibo.
Now Ruibo's identity is very important. Not only because of this incident, he has established close ties with all the wealthy and nobles, but also became the secular spokesperson of the Holy See in France in everyone's eyes.
As for the third gentleman, it's hard to guess what his plan is. Maybe he is indeed a polite invitation, maybe he also represents a part of the power.
The three gentlemen will leave Surthburg in a week and return to the capital, France.
That will also be the time when I leave this place of birth.
This time, I don’t know when he will come back, and Ruibo doesn’t even know if he will come back.
In addition to feeling and melancholy, Ruibo still has a hint of excitement, because Zhengchen to the capital also means a new adventure.
However, here and now, what Ribo is thinking of in his mind is not about the worries about the future, nor the feelings about the long road ahead.
But thinking about life.
On the way here just now, he saw many people struggling to survive.
These people are the families of merchants who are on the line with Earl Robert.
Except for the three great men who stayed in Surthburg for the time being, the representatives of the other families had already left Surthburg and returned to the capital when the Earl of Fesnan submitted the letter to His Majesty the King. They also took them away. Those businessmen.
The day when I left Sarthburg, it was indeed a bleak sight.
Those businessmen have families in Nangang, and some even drag their children and daughters. The family population is extremely prosperous.
But that day, the avenue at the gate of Surthburg to the capital undoubtedly became a place of life and death.
The crying, the shouting, and the tear-jerking goodbye made anyone who saw that scene full of sympathy, and people even forgot the despicable behavior of these businessmen.
Because everyone knows very well, after arriving in the capital, what kind of fate awaits these merchants, and their survival is probably a luxury for them.
The fate of the family members who stayed in Nangang is also not much better.
For them, Nangang will be a city full of indifference.
Their property has already been taken away by their owner, and all they can have is the worn-out clothes they wear.
There is absolutely no place to live. The inspection team even expelled them from entering the city.
It's impossible for people to give them cold food. The kind-hearted philanthropists in Nangang also turned their bodies to them.
They were expelled from Nangang like a plague.
Except for Nangang, Lai's attitude towards them is also the same.
And Piton and Bart are so poor, they can't find a living job there.
So they had to rush into Surthburg.
Surthburg did not welcome these people either, and they were driven out of the city at night.
The forest has become a place where they live.
But the cold winter forest is definitely not a good place to live.
I can find frozen and starved bodies there every morning.
The miserable cry on the day of the farewell was not only crying for the fate that the merchants were about to endure, but also crying for their own future lives.
Ribo knows the existence of these people and also knows their lives.
Ribo knows better that these people can be saved as long as he says a word.
He had thought about it, but finally gave up the idea and let these resentful people exist in Surthborough, beside him.
It will be a threat to him, but also a threat to the entire plan.
Tolerance and compassion do not necessarily exist in everyone’s heart. Those who survived by his relief will be grateful to him because of the grace of living, or be filled with hatred for him, because it is because of him that makes These people fell from heaven to hell.
Ribbo cannot answer this question.
Although he now has this tolerance and compassion, he absolutely can't afford to gamble and lose.
Because of this, Ribo excluded those struggling to survive from his mind.
Looking forward, the fork in the road leading to the teacher's laboratory is in sight.
Ribo looked around and confirmed that there were no pedestrians, and urged the horse to come to the front of the bush.
As always, he entered the hidden path smoothly.
After he passed by, the bushes returned to their original state one after another, as if it had never happened before.
Go to the front of the lab full of magic.
Open the ordinary wooden door.
Ribo once again entered the magical world of magic.
Hearing Ribo coming in, the magic metal butterfly fluttered and flew around in the air, looking very happy.
Although it has been a long time since no one has entered this wooden house, it is as if someone carefully cleans it every day, and it is completely spotless.
The tall cabinets around are still the same.
Those thick test tables are also unchanged, just like the day when Ms. Mask left, they were piled up with all kinds of strangely shaped glassware.
The magic mirror sits alone in the middle of the laboratory. Since Ribo made his own magic mirror, he has never used this mirror again.
Ribo finally set his sights on the table.
The two magical weapons are exactly the purpose of his trip.
I'm about to leave Sarthburg, leaving the familiar land south of France, and embarking on a journey to the dangerous and hostile capital.
Ribo does not need to bring anything else, but the two precious gifts that Ms. Masek gave him, he absolutely can't do without him.
Slowly walked to the front of the table and gently picked up the metal disc that looked like a regular silver coin.
One side of the disc is extremely smooth, and it can clearly reflect his image like a mirror.
On the other side, a magic circle is carved so finely.
This magic circle is so complicated, every nick on it is slenderer than a strand of hair.
Ribo roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of densely packed divine texts.
There are even more layers of talisman seals inlaid under these divine writings. People who don’t understand must think that they are carved patterns to increase beauty.
Ribo is a little familiar with this magic circle. The greatest magician Kai Miltedi had drawn on the back of the magic notebook left by the greatest magician from the villa in the woods of Baron Rona. The same magic circle.
With this metal disc in his hand, Ribo felt uneasy. He didn't know whether his current strength was enough to control this masterpiece of magic of his life left by the greatest magician in ancient times.
As for how to enter into a contract with this demon puppet, Ruibo has already known from Teacher Masek very well.
In fact, it is not very difficult to enter into a contract with this magic puppet.
Just drop his blood on this silver coin, and the conclusion of the contract is complete.
Although the ritual for making a contract is extremely simple, Mr. Masik once warned himself that if the strength is insufficient, it will be an extremely dangerous thing.
Ribo doesn't know whether he has reached the power to control this magic puppet.
He couldn’t even get in touch with Masek teacher. When the teacher contacted him last time, he just hurriedly told him that in order to understand what the strongest magician opened in the magic notebook left by Milteddy To record the profound knowledge, he and his friend have to do some experiments, so he will not be able to talk to him for a long time.
Ribo didn't even have time to tell Teacher Masek that he was about to leave Sarthburg and go to the capital.
For Ruibo, the only gain is that Mr. Masik taught him several kinds of magic.
These magics still use the magic wand in his hand.
This excites Ruibo and is also greatly enlightened. Maybe he himself can find other useful magic through hard work and experimentation.
Holding the silver coin in his hand, Ruibo hesitated for a long time. Finally, his vision of adventure made him choose to face the danger.
Take out the sharp dagger from his arms and lightly slit his left index finger.
A bright red blood oozes from the fingertips.
The blood is like dew on the leaves in the morning, and the round surface reflects a slight light.
Ribo gently dripped blood on the silver coin.
It's like rainwater seeping into the dry land, and the blood is completely absorbed by the silver coin in a blink of an eye.
The silver coin became more shining, and the blood turned into a golden streamer to wander in the middle of the silver coin.
The silver coin was gradually shrouded in a golden light, and the golden light became more and more prosperous.
Silver coins became yellow, orange and orange gold coins.
Ribo does not know whether the contract has been completed.
I don’t even know where the so-called danger comes from.
Just as he was puzzled, suddenly the gold coin seemed to be boiling, and the original smooth and flat surface was bubbling up one by one.
Boiling one after another.
It bulged and broke open, making a very slight pulsating sound.
As the surface of the gold coins boiled and swelled, the gold coins became smaller and smaller, like ice cubes placed under the sun in summer.
Just as Ribo looked at the smaller and smaller gold coin in surprise.
Suddenly, he felt that his neck was pinched, and the tremendous power made him feel suffocated.
Ribo felt that his body was slowly being lifted up. If it weren’t because his body was able to gather wind spirits freely, it would be much lighter than ordinary people. He might have been due to his weight. Let the neck and body completely separate.
However, Ruibo knows very well that if there is no change in the situation, the separation of the neck and body will only happen sooner or later.
Ribo raised his head with difficulty, and saw a golden cloud drifting in the air.
This golden cloud is gradually taking shape and condensing.
It was originally just a thin layer of mist floating in the air, but now it is separating the hands, feet, body, and head.
Ribo looked at everything in front of him with surprise, what he saw was a human figure that was getting clearer and clearer.
Surprise even overshadows the fear of death.
But the suffocation made him sober again.
Ribo does not know how to deal with the immediate crisis.
It is completely different from the assassins, the magician at the identification ceremony, and the assassins sent by Earl Robert.
The magic puppet in front of me is definitely his weapons, and it can't hurt at all.
The bow and crossbow in his hand can't deal with this inanimate thing, and the wand he has always used to defend his life is obviously also unable to work on this magical inhuman material.
The only thing that makes Ruibo feel fortunate is that when he felt that he was about to die from suffocation, the spirit of the wind penetrated his skin with fresh air.
Although there was no trace of air in the lungs, the feeling of suffocation and dizziness gradually disappeared.
"Give me life, you promised me, why lie? Give me life, you liar."
A loud voice echoed in the laboratory.
Ribo, whose neck was pinched, couldn't say anything. He didn't know whether the danger the teacher told him was referring to this.
"I am not your original master, nor the great magician who opened Mirtdy." Ribo shouted in his heart, he didn't want to die so confused.
Although from Mr. Hyde, he has heard all kinds of extremely bizarre adventure stories, but he has never heard of such a ridiculous crisis.
Ribo didn't expect the magic puppet to hear the cry in his heart, it was just his subconscious action.
Unexpectedly, the magic puppet heard what he didn't say.
Ribo felt that the force holding his neck gradually relaxed, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
"Are you not driving Milteddy? Not my original master?" the magic puppet asked.
Ribo was panting with greed. Although this is no longer necessary for him, his habits still cannot be changed temporarily.
Fresh air poured into his lungs, immediately causing Ribo to cough violently.
He even felt that his lungs seemed to be completely torn and sewed up again. It was so hot and painful.
After he recovered a little bit, he was surprised to look at the magic puppet that had completely transformed into a human form.
But the human form has an indescribable strange feeling.
It has an old man's face, and Ribo guessed whether that was what Kai Miltedy looked like.
But the proportions and appearance of the limbs are like babies.
What's more, its body is constantly changing, and it seems that it is difficult to find a definite image.
"My creator has gone there, why do you want to sign a contract with me now." The golem roared.
"As long as it is a living thing, it is bound to face death. Don’t you know this? Although Master Kaimiltdi is the greatest magician in the world, he still cannot get rid of this greatest magician. The basic law of life." Ribo tried to make the golem understand its situation.
"Death? Yes, my creator did mention this thing. He also said that this is something I cannot understand at all. Because I am an eternal existence, even if the world is destroyed, I will not Disappeared." The voice of the golem became much lower.
"Can I be your new master?" Ribo asked cautiously, after all, this was the purpose of his trip.
"Your strength is very weak. In the previous era, any magician I have seen is much stronger than you." The magic puppet said, and its tone was full of disdain.
Ribo was extremely surprised. He never thought that objects created through magic could actually possess intelligence, think, and even have their own personality.
This is too hard to imagine.
Ribo secretly admired that the great wizard Kaimir Teddy was worthy of being the most powerful wizard in the world, and he was able to create such a miracle.
"Now, I am also one of the weakest magicians, because I am just an apprentice of magic, and I have been learning magic for a short period of time, and I haven't accumulated enough power." Ribonod said, he But I don't want to leave a wrong impression on that magic puppet, thinking that all magicians in the world are of this kind of strength.
Of course, Ribo doesn’t know what kind of standard this magic puppet will use to measure the magician of this world. If his standard is his creator Kai Miltdy, then most magicians may become For the magic apprentice in its eyes.
"Yes, I remember now, you need to go through a long process for the learning of knowledge."
The golem said.
"Are you willing to let me be your new master?" Ribo repeated the old saying.
"Can you fulfill my wish and give me real life?"
Ribo feels a little headache. He has never encountered such a magic puppet who likes to bargain.
"Why do you want to have life? Isn't it good for you to look like this? To be able to live forever and become a living creature must face death."
Ribo tried to persuade this masterpiece of the greatest magician.
"I have intelligence, but there is no life. I am incomplete. There is no life, like rocks and minerals. Such existence is almost meaningless. However, rocks and minerals are so fortunate that they are not intelligent. I can’t know myself, but my creator gave me the ability to think. I want to have life, and I want to be truly complete."
Ribo was stunned to look at the golden magic puppet in front of him. This misty elf is really a wordy guy.
Ribo is absolutely not sure that it will be possible to turn intelligent living entities into real living creatures, such an unimaginable thing.
He even suspected that the Great Sorcerer Kai Mildit sealed this guy back then because he himself couldn't give this wordy and persistent guy a real life.
The creation of life itself already involves the realm of gods.
If Mildit can even do this, then he is as good as a god.
"I'm just an apprentice of magic. I am afraid that even the strongest magician in the world today cannot do the matter of giving you life. After all, your creator is the greatest magician ever."
Ribo watched the golem's expression cautiously as he spoke.
Although he is not sure whether this intelligent life body will also change its expression due to different moods, this is the only thing he can do now.
The magic puppet actually showed a disappointed expression, which was indeed far beyond Ribo's expectations.
"I will release you from the sealed state. The contract is at least partially established." Ribo tentatively said.
"Your strength is not enough to subdue me. When I was just released from the seal, it was the most vulnerable moment. If you have enough strength, you should be able to think of ways to trap me. Every pass All magicians can do this. However, you missed this opportunity. Now no magician in this world can re-seal me. I have been free."
The magic puppet announced his liberation loudly.
"After being free, what do you want to do? Are you particularly interested in what? Do you know what happiness is? How to enjoy life? How to take risks?" Ribo tries to pick the best things in life Lure this magic puppet who longs for real life.
Ribo will never mention those negative emotions, such as sadness, separation, ambition, and greed.
You can't even mention these things.
If this lifeless golem suddenly wants to become the king of this world, wouldn't it be a chaos in the world?
"What you said is exactly what I strive for, and that is the meaning of life. Can you give me the true meaning of life?" The magical couple Sang Ruibo approached.
Ribo is secretly worried. Although he has the initiative now, that magic puppet has obviously been deeply attracted by the words he just said, but Ribo hasn’t learned from Eckert after all. Negotiate with a magic puppet like this.
I don’t know the dangers and unexpected circumstances of cheating such lifeless things.
Ribo can only take a gamble. The bet may be his life, or being turned into a frog by that magic puppet, but once the gamble is successful, he will be able to have the meticulous masterpiece of the greatest magician in ancient times.
"Although I cannot make you have life, I may be able to share the meaning of life with you. Through me, you may also be able to feel the real life and the happiness of life. Of course, in addition to happiness, There may be sadness, after all, life is not as beautiful as you think."
After finishing these words, Ribo stared at the misty magic puppet nervously.
"Can you promise to fulfill everything you promised?" the golem hesitated for a while and suddenly asked.
Ribo's heart is simply happy, he knows that he has controlled the whole situation.
Although this magic puppet is powerful, even though it is cunning and wise, it is far from being able to compare with himself as taught by the liar master Eckert.
"Although, I cannot guarantee to find a perfect way to make you feel all my emotions, but with me, you will experience all kinds of your original creator with me , It is difficult to give you the feeling of life, your original master, because he is the most powerful magician, his power makes him have no opponents, his life must be no different from yours now, you can only feel loneliness ."
Ribo suddenly realized that what he yearned most about Mr. Hyde was not the unimaginable wealth, nor his majesty, but his extremely rich adventures.
"But I am completely different. In the magician, my power is extremely weak, and there are countless enemies in front of me, threatening my life, everything I guard, and your creator. Different, I have someone I need to protect, someone I love deeply."
"It’s completely different from the feeling that your creator can give you. I am definitely not alone. My life is not that boring. In addition to the thrills and excitement in my life, there is also a deep love for me, and For the woman I love deeply, this is something your master will never understand, and this is also something you have never experienced or felt."
Ribo didn't know whether the inanimate monster had any feelings for these, or even how this monster understood the meaning of life.
The lab became extremely quiet, and the golem seemed hesitant.
Looking at the way he was thinking with a sad face, Ribo was extremely worried about whether this question would be too esoteric for this lifeless and unaware demon puppet, and it would take too much time to think about it.
For thinking about life, it is far from enough to spend a lifetime thinking about it.
"I am very interested in your proposal. If you are willing to share your life with me, you can use my power, but I will not admit that you are mine until you are not strong enough to subdue me. Master, I will protect you at any time, but I am definitely not your slave. I will not do anything that you command me. Think about it carefully. Are you willing to enter into such a contract with me."
Ribo heard this golem say such a thing, although he was not very willing, after all, a magic puppet that is not under his control is indeed not a very good magic tool. It is hard for Ribo to imagine. What's the use of a magic wand that doesn't listen to one's own commands.
But this is already the most favorable agreement that he and the magic puppet can reach.
Compared with this lifeless golem, there is no restriction in his hands at all.
"You can not follow my orders. Our identities are equal. You are not my slave and I am not your master, but you must not act at will against my will. I don’t want to be Contract, and add a powerful and dangerous devil to the world."
"Don't worry, I am not interested in the meaningless ambitions and hopes of your human beings."
The magic puppet said.
"You don't understand the meaning of life you are pursuing. If there is no yuwang that you look down on, nothing can happen. The meaning of life is yuwang." Ribo said.
As for why there is such a feeling, even Ruibo himself can't explain clearly.
"Maybe you’re right, but I still don’t understand it now, but I will slowly try to understand all of this." The magic puppet said, it actually clicked the misty head. This action made this There were waves of ripples on the surface of the strange life form.
"I am willing to abide by the agreement with you and do not act without authorization. Of course, I will decide whether to help you or not. Do you agree now?" the magic puppet asked.
"How can I further enter into a contract with you?" Ribo asked. He wanted to tell the magic puppet that he couldn't do a magical ritual that was too difficult.
However, the trace of vanity that everyone has more or less made Ribo not say this sentence.
"As long as you can abide by the agreement between me and you, I will not betray what I promised, and even if you want to abandon your promise, it will be of no use." said the magic puppet. .
Ribo never thought that the so-called contract is so simple.
"I am willing to accept everything you say. You are neither my slave nor my master. We are equal. The requirements of both parties can also not be fulfilled, but you cannot violate mine. Willing, act without authorization." Ruibo said after sorting out the contract.
"I am willing to comply."
With the loud sound echoing in the air of the laboratory, the golden human figure, like a punctured air bag, slowly shrank.
The human figure is getting smaller and smaller, and the limbs and facial features are getting more and more blurred, and finally it becomes a mass of metal in the state of thin mud.
The metal turned and rolled, like a grain of mercury falling on the ground.
After a while, the mass of metal gradually calmed down. The metal became flatter and thinner, and finally returned to the original appearance of the gold coin.
Ribo watched all this with surprise.
Until the gold coin no longer changed, and lying quietly on the ground, Ribo cautiously stabbed it with his finger, and only after confirming that there was no danger, did he gently pick up the gold coin.
I saw that this gold coin was still the same as the original one. The flat and clean side could clearly illuminate the portrait, while the other side was engraved with a complex and delicate magic circle.
The only difference is that silver coins become gold coins.
Ribo carefully put the gold coin into his personal pocket, and placed it with his beloved wand.
From the test table, he took the ancient Antalian sorcerer stone tablet that Mr. Massek had left for him.
Ribo raised his head and looked at the metal butterfly flying with joy in the sky.
"I'm leaving here and going to a far place. You're the only one here. Would you like to go with me?" Ruibo looked at the butterfly.
The butterfly still fluttered its wings, flying around in the air.
Ribo looked at the metal butterfly and ignored him, so he had to walk out of the laboratory in a chattering manner.
Riding on the road the horse Ruibo always used to speed away, after leaving here, he will go to Nangang.
This may be the last time he has returned to his hometown, and it may also be the last time he saw Aunt Betty.
Ribo would like to know how the lives of Aunt Betty and Uncle Kaul are now.
Mr. Hyde promised himself that they will live with a new identity and care about Lei.
