Richard, who was competing with Zhang Guangmu for the position of Lord of Mushroom City, had a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine poured on his face and woke up immediately.

He subconsciously reached out his hand to hold down the floor, but the severe pain from his palm made him gasp, his arm went limp, and he fell to the ground on the spot.

After coming back to his senses, Richard subconsciously looked at Zhang Guangmu, a scowl suddenly appeared on his face, and the golden-blue electric light began to twinkle between the fingers of his uninjured hand: "You guy, how dare you treat someone with royal blood

I...uh...don't get excited! There's no need to be like this, we have something to talk about!"

Facing the alchemical fire gun on his forehead, Richard swallowed, his breathing suddenly became rapid, his heart was beating wildly, and he felt that his eyes were trembling slightly.

He opened and closed his mouth and spoke quickly, fearing that he would be shot to death by Zhang Guangmu if he spoke too slowly: "Our previous misunderstanding has been resolved, hasn't it?"

Zhang Guangmu glanced at Richard lightly and did not respond immediately, but just hung him up.

Compared with the man's answer, Zhang Guangmu was more concerned about the hole in Richard's hand at this moment.

Although there was no emergency bandaging or related medical treatment, the palm with a big hole was no longer bleeding, and there was no sign of the injury getting worse.

Judging from Zhang Guangmu's experience, even if Richard doesn't do anything afterwards, his palm may heal again as time goes by. Although there may be a constant negative state such as slowness in the future, but...

This kind of self-healing ability is something that humans in the Black Dragon Empire do not possess.

I just don’t know if this is an isolated case or a common phenomenon?

Maybe it's just because of the royal blood that gives Richard a strong physical quality, or maybe it's because some magic factors in his body give him strong cell activity?

With the gun pointed at his head, Richard's mental quality was really not very good. Zhang Guangmu didn't answer for just a few seconds. He was frightened to death by some of the terrible experiences he imagined in his mind, and he was already crying.

Cry loudly.

"Don't kill me...don't kill me...I am willing to pay all my property to atone..."

Richard couldn't understand.

How could there be such a person in the world?

Even if his status as a marginal royal family is not taken seriously, Zhang Guangmu's stupid behavior is simply unreasonable.

Regardless of whether Zhang Guangmu is a country bumpkin or a down-and-out noble, or even the illegitimate son of a long-established noble in the imperial city, he should never offend the Magic Guild!

This person had previously driven away the official mage Diana and disrupted the arrangement of the Magic Guild. Isn't he afraid of retaliation?

Seeing Li Cha sobbing, Zhang Guangmu was speechless.

can only say……

He is worthy of being Li Xiaoxiao's cousin, and some of his characteristics are really inherited from the same origin.

"I'm not a robber, and I'm not interested in your money."

Zhang Guangmu sat on the chair, his eyes slightly tilted, overlooking Richard who had knelt down in front of him at some point: "The person who is asking you now is the Lord of Mushroom City."

"In the holy duel, I am the ultimate winner."

"According to the ancient laws passed down a hundred thousand years ago, I have the right to execute you at will."

Everyone in Richard was dumbfounded.

What is this person talking about?

The Magic Empire has only been established for thousands of years...

Do the rules of dueling from 100,000 years ago really exist?

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to pay anything to buy my own life!"

After Li Cha subconsciously said the first three words, he gradually realized that Zhang Guangmu did not kill him immediately because he must have made some demands on himself.

After figuring this out, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous.

After all, the person in front of him was dressed differently from ordinary people and was very weird. He might actually be the heir of a reclusive family that popped out of some corner.

Thinking of this, Richard carefully raised his head and looked at Zhang Guangmu, and found that his appearance was already above the average level of the imperial nobles' appearance.

Especially that condescending, arrogant demeanor, that invisible but real sense of superiority, which lingers no matter what. Although the young man is trying his best to hide it, those qualities are deeply rooted in his bones and cannot be easily concealed.

.

Black hair, black eyes...

There are no such nobles in the Magic Empire, or even such families!

Richard can be sure.

only……

Feeling Zhang Guangmu's gaze, he immediately lowered his head and thought of an ancient legend. It is said that before the establishment of the Magic Empire, in a very distant ancient period, those ancient magic families and great nobles all liked to maintain their relationships through intra-family marriages.

The purity of the bloodline.

With black hair and black eyes like Zhang Guangmu...

Although the eyes are not pure black, and look a bit like amber if you look carefully, in today's empire, it is almost impossible to find the second person.

In Richard's opinion, this is the best example of pursuing purity of blood.

"My family has been reclusive for many years and has limited understanding of this era."

Zhang Guangmu carefully watched the changes in Richard's facial expressions, vaguely feeling that after this man completed his self-defeat, he put forward his request straight to the point: "As the loser of the honor duel, you will risk your life with the basic knowledge of magic of this era.

It’s a reasonable request.”

Hearing this, Richard subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Restricted by the "Magic Non-Proliferation Regulations", if he teaches magic knowledge to "unqualified people" at will, regardless of whether the other person has relevant talents, once the matter is exposed, not only will he be held accountable by the Magic Guild, but he will also be prosecuted.

Those who teach knowledge will also be rewarded and hunted!

But……

Sensing Zhang Guangmu's "purer" temperament than his own, Richard felt that this person might be an ancient royal family that had continued from a certain magic dynasty in history.

So after all, he did not refuse categorically, but he was a little hesitant and said: "A nobleman like you only needs to produce a magic genealogy that can prove your bloodline, or contribute valuable knowledge to the Gong Guild, and you can obtain the most basic

Basic knowledge of magic."

"Although it will take about a year to go back and forth, but with my help, this time can be compressed to about six months, and it won't delay you for too long."

"On the contrary, if we teach it privately here, there may be serious consequences..."

Zhang Guangmu's eyes were sharp, and the alchemical fire gun was pointed at Richard's forehead, simulating the posture of Li Shisan in the early stage of "Secret Assignment", looking aloof and full of superiority.

He looked at Richard coldly and said in a domineering tone that could not be criticized: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Richard swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"I will share with you the basic knowledge of "Magic Enlightenment"!"

I don’t remember how many times I met Zhang Guangmu’s eyes...

Richard could only be sure that he was defeated again.

The smell on Zhang Guangmu's body is too strong!

He is exactly the same as Li Shisan, the only true king of the Magic Empire who has just taken over!

Extremely pure!

Must be a super noble!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop such courage!

so……

Such a person must be "qualified". Even if he exchanges magic knowledge with the other party, he should not be held accountable.

"very good."

Zhang Guangmu gave Richard an approving look: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I hope you can use your knowledge to redeem your life."

Richard's mind was so messed up now that he had no intention of doubting Zhang Guangmu's identity.

He is now just focusing all his energy and brainpower on one thing, recalling the content of "Magic Enlightenment".

Every sentence, every word, must be striven for.

Otherwise, if someone corrects his mistake and kills him on the spot with a gunshot, wouldn’t it be a great loss to die?

Fortunately, "Magic Enlightenment" was originally prepared for magic apprentices, and Richard happened to be in the stage of magic apprentice and often used it, so when he recalled it now, he was still at the stage of being familiar with it.

, it doesn’t take much effort at all.

After reciting the book "Magic Enlightenment" word for word, Richard looked at Zhang Guangmu cautiously: "Your Excellency..."

"If you want to learn the basics of magic, you must have talent. People without talent will never be able to control magic particles, no matter how advanced their theoretical knowledge is."

"However, an outstanding descendant of an ancient noble family with pure bloodline like you will definitely not be stuck on this threshold."

"Your elders didn't lead you to get started. I'm afraid they had their own calculations and ideas to avoid learning the wrong way and affecting the upper limit of your growth."

Richard said flatteringly: "It takes about a year or two for people with mediocre talents to take the first step. From your perspective, it only takes a few months to study carefully... just... ah?"

Tsk~

A wisp of golden-red flame twined and danced around Zhang Guangmu's fingertips, like a flame elf.
