After this magical soul, there is no idea when another magical soul will appear. It is impossible to observe the ready-made magical soul operation rules. Next, it will explore in the darkness until another magical soul happens to be created.

Betrayal is not unfamiliar to Richard. To this day, it is impossible to even cast waves in his emotions. However, looking at Venica and feeling his sticky blood with her fingers, he always involuntarily thinks of a person, the source of their common bloodline, Gorton, the tombstone on the family cemetery has not been generated, does that mean that there is still hope? If Gorton comes back, will he want to see the scene of brothers and sisters fighting each other?

Richard stood for ten minutes before taking out his handkerchief, wiping away the blood from his palm, leaving the magic warehouse, and walking towards his study. At this moment, Neris should have arrived at the study and was waiting for him.

When Richard walked into the study, his expression had become normal, and he temporarily put the magical soul aside. Neris stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the July rainbow where only six crescent moons were left outside the window.

Hearing the door ringing, Neris turned around, looked at Richard, and smiled helplessly. He was still dressed up completely neutral this time, but with that little face, it always made people feel that this was a peerless beauty.

"What's wrong? I suddenly have to look for me in such a hurry." Richard came to Neris and asked with concern. If it weren't for Neris's worry, Richard wouldn't want to stand so close to him. If Richard hadn't been reminding him that he would have been subconsciously attracted by Neris' beauty.

Neris sighed softly and asked softly: "Richa, if...if... one day I need you, will you protect me?"

"I will." Richard gave a positive answer and asked, "Is there something happening, where is Agamemnon? Does he know?"

Neris stared at the ground in front of his toes, and then said for a moment: "He doesn't know about this, he can't help me, I...I hope you will help me."

Richard felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong, tell me."

Neris reluctantly smiled and said, "It's not the time yet, I still... can withstand it. When I need it, I will tell you, Richard, by that time, don't forget your promise."

Richard pointed to his heart and said solemnly: "Don't worry, you have my promise."

Neris suddenly raised his head and looked straight into Richard's eyes. The light that burst out in his pupils made Richard want to escape for a moment. Neris suddenly said: "Give me a hug."

This request was not too much between comrades and brothers who had fought side by side and faced life and death together. However, when Neris made a request now, Richard hesitated, but still raised his arms.

But his arms were only halfway up, but Neris suddenly rushed into Richard's arms, hugged him hard, and buried his face deep into Richard's chest.

Richard suddenly stiffened his whole body, not knowing what to do, nor did he respond, nor did he respond, his arms froze in the air, not knowing whether to move forward or backward,

At this moment, Neris suddenly shook his shoulders, and at the same time Richard felt a hot wetness spreading on his chest. Obviously, Neris was crying bitterly, but he completely suppressed his crying.

Richard felt indescribable in his heart. Neris had a noble status and had been on the battlefield of the Territory and had experienced plane wars. But now he cried silently without regard for his face. How painful should his heart be?

Richard finally hugged Neris, patted his back gently, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, there is no big deal in this world. With me here, don't worry. Tell me what happened. The worst result is that I don't want this floating island. I will take you out of Ukiyoshi."

Neris shook his whole body, his head had not been raised, and he asked softly: "Really."

Richard said in a deep voice: "Really."

Neris broke free from Richard's arms. At this time, he seemed to have controlled his mood. The tears on his face had not dried up, but he smiled and said, "It's not that serious yet. I think I can handle it for a while. Okay, I have to go back."

Before leaving the study, Neris suddenly turned around and said, "Don't forget your promise."

Richard pointed to his heart again, and the fourth prince let go and hurriedly left.

After Neris left, Richard spread out the entire map of Norland, looked carefully, frowned and silent. The situation in the mainland was still as unpredictable as before, but now he discovered Archmond's biggest shortcomings: connections and intelligence, from Philip's serious injury to Wuding's return, and Neris' abnormal performance, Richard almost knew nothing. Even if the small family of Ukiyo-seat was willing to surrender to him, Richard dared not believe the information they provided. Similarly, he could not trust those intelligence sales organizations. In the face of such a major event, misjudgment was more fatal than not making a judgment.

Richard thought repeatedly and felt that the best way to solve the current situation might be to find Nolan and build a connection with Archmond through the relationship of the great priest of the Eternal Dragon Palace. Richard could not stay in the Ukiyo-Shide forever. This strong return of His Majesty Wuding has made him deeply feel that Archmond has no top-level powerhouses.

But before looking for Nolan, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, Venica and Lucien,

The girl and her lover were sitting in the living room at the moment, worried. After seeing the magic circle arranged by Richard in the magic warehouse, they no longer had the courage to talk privately. They only dared to communicate with each other with their eyes. As for escaping, they would not even think about it.

Like the frightened rabbit-like Vinica, Lucien seemed quite calm, but instead comforted Vinica from time to time.

When Richard walked into the living room, the atmosphere inside suddenly became depressed. The young men and women were huddled on a small sofa, as far away as possible from Richard. Richard looked at Lucien and said, "Lucian, from the Bilous family, your father is Viscount Bilous. As for you, you are twenty-two years old, a twelve-level swordsman, oh, and a side job, a socialist and a poet."

Lucien's eyes flashed with fear, stood up, bowed deeply to Richard, and said, "My Lord Richard, I got a magic soul accidentally. Before that, I really didn't know what it was. My talent was not very good before, but now, with the help of your magic soul, my talent should be greatly improved. This talent is obtained from Archmond, so I am willing to play for Archmond, just hope that you can forgive me and give me a chance to make up for your mistakes."

Richard ignored him, but looked at Venica and asked bluntly: "Have you been sleeping with him? To be honest, otherwise I will have someone come to check it out."

Venica's face suddenly turned pale, she bit her lower lip and whispered, "It's been..." After that, she hurriedly added, "But there aren't many times in total."

Richard raised his hand, stopped Venica's words, and said, "So, you have violated the ancient obligation, and there will be corresponding punishment waiting for you later."

After saying that, Richard looked at Lucien again and said, "You may understand how precious a magical soul is. You may understand, or you may not understand. It doesn't matter whether we know or not. We Archmond have enough geniuses, but the resources used to cultivate geniuses are far from enough. At this time, I do not need geniuses, but only punish crimes. I said that the entire family of Viscount Billus will pay a price for this, a heavy price."

Venica rushed to Richard again and exclaimed: "Brother, don't do this. If you kill him now, you won't be able to get your magic soul back. Why don't you let him serve the family?"

Richard said calmly: "Rules are rules. Since they are formulated, they should be followed. If they violate them, they will be punished. No matter who they are, they will be serious. Maintaining the rules is more important than this small profit. If I pardon you today, will there be more people who will violate the rules I set for more sufficient reasons tomorrow? Those whose families are stronger and more powerful and more powerful can violate the rules at will? What reason can I use to punish them? They are more powerful and more valuable than you. Geniuses are not reasons to violate the rules, nor are wealth and power."

Lucien wanted to say something, but he still held back. In fact, under the system of the Holy Alliance, since the royal family did not have absolute control over the great lords, wealth and power were indeed reasons to offset the laws and rules. The greater the power, the smaller the possibility of being convicted. Except for a few crimes, most crimes can be sentenced lightly or even pardoned by paying atonement money. However, obviously, since Richard was unwilling to open a side door for wealth and power, he naturally would not set a precedent for him, the so-called talent.

Venica's face became increasingly bleak. She suddenly knelt in front of Richard and shouted, "Brother, for the sake of her dead father."

Richard's hand trembled slightly and he remained silent. After a long time, he stood up and said, "Father may not be dead. Don't say such things again next time. In addition, this time you overdraw all my feelings for you, so the next time you make a mistake will be a double punishment. If you insist on protecting Lucien, then your mother may be implicated. At that time, it may be deprived of territory or exile directly. Have you figured out whether to protect Lucien at the cost of your mother."

Venica's body was trembling, and the girl's intuition told her that if she didn't express her opinion now, Richard would directly execute Lucien. Richard had a large number of powerful followers and would not care about a young swordsman who was not even as good as the Knight of the Anfeng. As for the poet, the love poems he wrote might only have value in the eyes of women.

Richard waited for Venica's decision while looking at Lucien. The young poet had a very outstanding and sunny appearance. His body and face alone could make many young girls blush. In addition, he had a family background that could be shown and a good talent among the noble children. It can be seen that Lucien spent much more effort on his clothes than honing his martial arts. This was a man who could coax many girls into bed with only his face and sweet mouth, not to mention that he was still a nobleman.

At this moment, Venica finally made up her mind and said, "I am willing to take responsibility, please let Lucien go."

Richard just nodded at the girl's decision and said, "Okay, remember, Vinica, you have no room for a second mistake."

Lucien suddenly held her into his arms and shouted, "No, I can't let you do this, it's my fault."
