Sir Michels' residence is really located in the inner city of Red Rock Castle.

The inner city area with nine wizard towers is the most prosperous area of ​​the entire Red Rock Castle, and in fact, it is also the area with the highest defense strength in the entire Red Rock Castle.

When the beast cart entered the courtyard of Sir Michels's mansion, Sir Michels stopped his old butler from coming forward, and personally opened the door for Raymond. Such respectfulness made Raymond a little surprised.

Sir Michels, who was smiling as if he had completely forgotten the previous sigh, asked the old butler to take the dark elves Freya and Scar to rest, and then he personally led Raymond into the hall of his mansion.

The hall, which seemed like an ancient palace, was a bit dull, but there were exquisite reliefs on the solid wood pillars with a diameter of several meters. After sitting down, Raymond inadvertently discovered that although all the furnishings around him seemed inconspicuous, each piece was an exquisite work of art. And when he found that there was no light source such as magic lamps in the entire hall, he discovered that there was a complete starry sky map painted on the dome. Thousands of soft fluorites made the entire hall bright and not oppressive.

Everything around him was extremely simple. Although clean, it looked a bit old. But when Raymond picked up the metal doll on the small table in front of him and played with it, Michels, who was sitting down and about to wipe the sweat, laughed. "Haha! This puppet was once a famous magical tool, but now no one knows how to repair it and it has become a decoration..."

The metal puppet, which is only two inches tall, is wearing full-cover armor and holding a heavy sword in both hands, which looks very majestic. However, when Raymond infiltrated his mental power into it, he found that there were thousands of tiny and complicated gears in its small body, and there was also a miniature rune array hidden in its chest!

After staring at the armored metal puppet for a moment, Raymond, who suddenly had an idea, exclaimed. "Is this the puppet warrior made by the alchemist Gumodo?"

And Michels, who seemed to be even more surprised, jumped up immediately. He opened his hands and was horrified. "Oh my God! Lord Raymond, you are really too knowledgeable! There are definitely no more than five wizards in the entire Red Rock Castle who know the name of this thing!"

Raymond, who was already a little speechless about Michels's exaggerated behavior, couldn't help but look at him depressedly. After a moment, Michels reacted and sat down again, raising his hand to signal Raymond to continue.

After rechecking the puppet warrior from the hands of the Gumodo alchemist, Raymond discovered after a long time that cracks appeared on the two tiny gears at the heart position of its chest, and a nearby gear was missing, which was obviously the reason why it could not be repaired.

It was too difficult to copy the gears that were only the size of a needle tip, and Raymond was not clear about the alloy ratio of making such gears, so Raymond, who put the puppet back to its original place, sighed with regret. "What a pity! The treasures of the Gumodo alchemist are rare in the world. If this puppet warrior is still intact, its value is quite high..."

Looking at the metal puppet that was put back on the table, Michels was also full of regret. "That's natural! A complete Gumodo puppet warrior has the strength of a high-level knight. As a magic weapon, it is the pinnacle of that era..."

At this time, the information about the Gumodo alchemist that appeared in Raymond's sight was quickly browsed by him.

It is said that it is a Gumodo alchemist from a wizard family. The strength of this family lies in the fact that after they refined the metal puppet warriors, they accumulated their number to more than 100,000. Then, with these puppet warriors that seemed like industrial products, they established two planes for their family.

But in the end, this family declined because a certain special metal used to refine the puppet warriors was exhausted, and finally the entire family became the dust of history and ceased to exist.

The once extremely glorious ancient wizards created many miracles, but the passage of time seemed to be the natural enemy of everything. As long as they could not resist the erosion of the passage of time, even the most powerful existence would eventually fall due to aging.

Raymond was a little emotional when he thought of this. But when he looked up, Michels, who was sitting opposite, was still staring at the puppet warrior on the table, and his expression was trance, as if he was immersed in memories.

Raymond, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked around in boredom, and soon he found that although there were not many furnishings in this hall, they were all quite old. And most of them had obscure energy fluctuations or residues, which were obviously some broken magic tools.

But the shabby things in the hidden places also showed his current embarrassment.

When Raymond turned his sight back to Michels who was sitting opposite him, Raymond's expression was a little strange, and Michels, who seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated and asked. "Lord Raymond! I wonder what your plans are after coming from the Abyss Plane?"

"It was originally a mistake to appear in the Abyss Plane, so after coming here, I think I will leave for the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy as soon as possible, and there is no clear goal for the time being..."

Michels' eyes flashed with hope, and he immediately looked a little excited. "Then I have an unwelcome request, I hope you can help me!"

"You are the hereditary noble of Red Rock Castle, why do you need my help?"

"Ah, it's hard to say..."

With a long sigh, Miches hesitated for a moment as if he was a little embarrassed, and then began to speak very quickly.

It turns out that he is the only surviving successor of his family. Although he is still in charge of the two brigades of the Red Rock Castle Griffin Legion, Lord Combas, the actual leader of the Red Rock Castle, gave his family three years ago. A mission requires members of the Miches family to repair the broken talisman arrays erected by their family in Red Rock Castle.

"I have no talent in Talismanology since I was a child, so my family had to send me to the Wizarding Academy in the City of Shadows to study. However, even though there were two Talisman Masters who devoted themselves to cultivating me, I was I still can’t understand the relationship between those runes and the structure of the runes..."

Miches, who looked very frustrated when he said this, smiled bitterly. "But this secret has always been a major risk for the family. I thought that if there was enough time, I would find some high-level talisman masters to come back and repair it. However, with the fierce battle in Yousui Canyon, within the scheduled time limit, No matter what price I paid before arriving, I could not find a suitable Talisman Master..."

Hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but noticed something strange. Even though the Miches family had declined, the matter of inviting the talisman master to repair the talisman array of Red Rock Castle should not have been delayed for so long. solve.

Raymond frowned with a confused look on his face, but Miches, who was about to ask but became indignant in vain, roared in a low voice. "It turned out that a Talisman Master I invited two months ago was about to go to the Deep Canyon to participate in the battle, and he told me the reason in a vague way. Only then did I finally understand everything!"

Having said this, Sir Michaels suddenly punched the armrest of the sofa next to him, as if he was extremely angry. "It turns out that Compas actually wanted to use this to expel me. He actually deliberately blocked the Talisman Masters who accepted my invitation and wanted to come! His purpose is to make me leave here in shame!"

After saying this, Miches suddenly stood up, his chest heaving violently, his clenched fists trembling, and his expression became a little sad and angry. "My family has been stationed in this Red Rock Castle for thousands of years. Every time the Red Rock Castle is in danger, our people will make sacrifices for this Red Rock Castle. For so many years, Kang Bas, the trusted city lord, is like this. It is simply convenient. It’s the ultimate bastard!”

Listening to his explanation, Raymond, who was a little confused, couldn't figure it out for a while, but immediately after, Miches, who suddenly lowered his body and bent down to salute, made another plea. "Although my family has declined, the glory of the family cannot be lost because of my incompetence...so I beg you to give me a helping hand. Thank you very much!" (To be continued...)
