Chapter 550: Overbearing CEO, Old Chinese Medicine Practitioner, "Old Father"

"Since you're cheering up, I won't say anything." Richard turned over and faced Rorschach.

How could he tolerate this? Rorschach was furious and turned it over to him: "Tell me now."

Richard confessed hesitantly, and Rorschach realized that this guy was living a comfortable life and even had time to go on a blind date during his vacation. And through Richard's narration, Rorschach learned the inside story of the mutiny in the imperial capital.

"Are you the hero of a knight's novel? You can even encounter this? Is that Libus the princess of Bomiya?"

"That's not important." Richard smiled.

This handsome face really deserves a beating. Rorschach let out a long sigh: "So, although you didn't take the initiative to express it, you are quite satisfied with Miss Libus? Don't deny it. But why don't you plan to keep in touch?"

"Because you said, I am a magical creature now." Richard raised his hand and found that what Rorschach said was true. He drew a line with his hand, and the concrete magic left a trace out of thin air. There were many spells that were difficult to cast in the past, but it seemed that he only needed a thought to release them. This body was equipped with all the best talents for casting spells.

He returned to the topic: "If we continue to develop, if we really get married, will we still be able to have children?"

Why are you thinking about this? Is there a throne to inherit? Well, Richard does have a lot to inherit, and the woman's family does have a throne, so that's fine.

".Rick, you are not the only child in your family, right?"

"I have a brother. That's not the point." He sat up and thought seriously, "It's Libby's side. If we get together but still have no children, it will cause rumors, and unfortunately, people often blame the woman first.

"Besides, can Libus accept not having children? I don't know. It's best to end this relationship right here. Most wizards end up being single anyway."

"You are such a pushover, always only considering others. Seriously, why don't you just punch me now?" Luo Xia gritted his teeth and put his hands on the other's shoulders:

"I think I should tell the truth to the girl instead of breaking up with her for her own good."

One party gave up voluntarily because of unspeakable difficulties, while the other party desperately pursued his lover and the truth, with all kinds of bitterness and twists and turns in the process. Are you planning to act out an idol drama here?
Luo Xia pressed his brother and said word by word: "Explain clearly to that Miss Libus that it was because of me, a bastard, that you were harmed. If you succeed, I swear that I will definitely make sure that you have no regrets, even if I have to invite all the mages in the Forest Tower to come here to study this important proposition."

"No, no, no, our conversation seems to have deviated into an extremely strange direction. Can we stop here? I will make it clear to Miss Libby, at the right time and in a suitable manner that I can decide for myself. I will never allow you to behave like you do now."

Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry, especially the other party's last sentence, which seemed a bit domineering and a bit weird.

At this moment, Rorschach was like a combination of a domineering president and an old Chinese doctor who sells *medicine in TV shopping. Hmm, the domineering president of a *pharmaceutical company?
Because it was Rorschach who sculpted Richard's new body himself, coupled with the guilt, he now has a strange sense of responsibility towards this buddy who is theoretically older than him. He asked a few more questions and found out that Libby was the only daughter of the Kroc family.

"That reminds me, she has a cousin who came to Byrne to look for me some time ago." Rorschach observed Richard's expression as he spoke: "My brother-in-law and I had a 'good chat'. He said he was a member of an organization and came to me to solicit sponsorship."

"It's so rare that I can ask you for help."

"Indeed, I should be quite low-key in normal times." Rorschach rarely came into contact with the aristocratic circles of the empire. Apart from the Byrne royal family, his only intersection was with Richard.

"Then do you agree?" Richard asked naturally following the topic.

"Shouldn't you ask me what organization I am and what I want to sponsor?"

"That's right. But I'm tired and not interested." The "patient" who sat up lay down again and found a comfortable position to stretch out, as if to drive him away. Rorschach stood up and said, "With your current physique, you can run from the imperial capital to Valuvana without any fatigue." But he still left the room and said, "Just rest and recuperate. I'm sorry."

After expressing his last apology, Rorschach gently closed the door.

Richard's ward was in the imperial capital. After resting for ten days, he was immediately summoned to the palace by the emperor.

He told William II the whole story from his own perspective, but in the end he omitted Rorschach's name and actions. He did not lie, and if he had not been resurrected and met with Rorschach later, Richard would not have known who had created the black hole and the final explosion.

Because this information is withheld, other listeners will naturally believe that the final explosion, like all previous disasters, was caused by a satanic ritual.

William II stared straight into those bright eyes: "Sir Dalberg, are you sure that the disaster in Oward has nothing to do with the wizards and magic guilds of Valois?" He addressed Richard in an unprecedented way, showing the emperor's seriousness at the moment.

"No, it was." Richard answered truthfully. "When I arrived, the situation had already deteriorated to a certain extent. I mistakenly underestimated the severity and danger, gathered all the accompanying mages in my team, and negotiated with the Valois side.

"The content of the temporary agreement is that the Valois army is allowed to withdraw, but the spellcasters among them must stay to help deal with the disaster.

"Unfortunately, we failed in the end and almost lost everything."

This was confirmed by many eyewitnesses, and the testimony of the surviving military wizard was consistent. Later, the emperor also expressed concern for Richard's health.

As for how he survived, Richard only said that he lost consciousness and didn't know the details.

After Rorschach resurrected his brothers, he also did a lot of make-up work, such as having Rick found on the banks of the Ord River, making it easy for people to think that he jumped into the water to avoid the explosion.

Even if all the water flowing through the explosion area evaporated completely, it did not prevent the imperial ministers and emperor who did not witness it with their own eyes from imagining the "reasonable" possibility that Richard survived.

Even if many of the details were reasonable, the emperor still had questions, and his tone was unfriendly: "Why do you dare to conclude that the Valois wizard who stayed behind was to deal with the anomaly, and not for other purposes, Lord Dalberg?"

Richard was very sure: "Because the disaster had developed to a certain extent at that time, we all realized the danger behind it.

"It is not a tactical or strategic goal between spellcasters or armies to defeat each other, but an indiscriminate creation of tragedy and evil. The Magic Guild recently issued a warning about the active belief in the Mother Earth. As far as I know, there was a pollution incident in Valuvana.
"Based on the above factors, I judge that everyone stood on the side of wisdom and civilization at that time, without distinction. In fact, in addition to our compatriots, the magicians of Valois also sacrificed for it."

William II nodded reluctantly: "Well, thank you for your defense of the Magic Guild."

"Your Majesty, this is not a defense, nor is it for any person or organization outside the empire." Richard did not like the emperor's last words, but the other party had no intention of listening anymore, so Richard could only bow and sigh as he left the palace.

After he went out, another man appeared who wanted to see the emperor.

The monk Gregory was still alive, strolling through the first gate of the palace, unperturbed by the guards' guns pointed at him.

Gregory's temperament changed greatly, becoming more gloomy and taller. What was impressive and frightening was his deep eye sockets. Black meridians radiated from inside and outside the eyeballs, covering the whites of his eyes and eye sockets, and were beating in an ups and downs manner.

After entering the forbidden magic area of ​​the palace, he couldn't help but smile slightly and showed his sharp canine teeth.
