1816 Arrival
The Barry family is in chaos.
The ghost that was resurrected from the tombstone of the Barry family cemetery in the form of a ghost claimed to be Gustav's grandfather.
This old guy who had lost most of his sanity but had some obsessions made the entire Barry family feel troubled. Even Stacy, who always believed that Raymond's actions were correct, got angry after being frightened many times.
But because this ghost was indeed condensed from the residual soul of Gustav's grandfather, it could neither be eliminated nor imprisoned. So in the end, at Stacy's request, Raymond had to set up a secret restrictive rune array before it left, so that the resurrected old guy could not leave the tombstone for a long time, which calmed the turmoil of the Barry family.
Samantha, who still had that vision and expectation, left the ring with her contracted creature Little Nemo. She will go to the ice field to continue working hard for her ideals.
Before going to the ruins, Raymond fulfilled his original promise and sent the one-eyed sandman Shaliman back to the plane where he was born, helping him become the master of the plane. After finding the secret place of his original master, the desert lord Silas, Raymond not only allowed Silas's residual soul to see the light of day again, but also specially reshaped his body.
Although Silas, the desert lord who experienced the world-destroying war, was a human wizard belonging to the wizard plane, he was no longer willing to return to the wizard plane, but wanted to spend the rest of his life here with the one-eyed sandman Shaliman.
The incomplete soul of Silas, the desert lord, which had been sealed for thousands of years, was reshaped and revived under Raymond's efforts, which also made him feel that the "Spirit Gathering Technique" he had studied in depth before should be usable.
Raymond, who returned to the fairy plane, quickly found the ruins of the ancient wizard through the plane coordinates obtained from the Crown of Glory before.
However, the area where the ruins are located has been jointly occupied by the Pansy family and the Relics Exploration Association of the Ring Domain. This ruin buried hundreds of meters underground has been completely excavated, making the wizard tower seem to be built in a huge pit and become the object of research by many forces.
Raymond, who arrived through space teleportation, first saw the vast huge pit and the wizard tower of the ancient wizard that was gradually excavated in the center.
Around the hexagonal top of the tower, there is also the luster of defense and warning force fields.
After the outer layer of the entire wizard tower was cleaned, the facilities that looked like bay windows appeared extremely delicate.
The sudden plane teleportation caused a sharp alarm to sound quickly, and the guards who rushed out of the tents around the huge pit were stunned after seeing Raymond and Becky and the porcelain girl Anita on his shoulders.
Becky, who did not pay attention to these guards, roughly checked the scale of the wizard tower. She asked in great surprise. "Sir! Is this the ancient wizard ruins you broke into when you just reached the first-level wizard level?"
Raymond, who knew from the scale of the wizard tower that the original owner of the wizard tower was already stronger than the Dawn level, nodded and smiled bitterly. "At that time, Jonas, who belonged to the Relics Exploration Association, led the team, so I didn't know the dangers of this wizard tower before entering. Fortunately, its protection system has been mostly ineffective, otherwise no one can come out alive from it..."
"Oh my God! Such a wizard tower is enough to resist the attack of a small army. How can you be so bold!"
Becky's exclamation made Raymond even more speechless. After scanning the guards gathered around the giant pit, he signaled the porcelain girl Anita to communicate and deal with it.
Everything that happened that year was imprinted in Raymond's memory. After the porcelain girl Anita dealt with the guards around and returned, he entered the interior along the bay window that he entered that year.
The top floor of the wizard tower has been completely cleared out.
The spiral staircase and the rooms inside the corridor that he had passed through. Raymond entered and checked them one by one.
All the facilities in the room of this relic that had been excavated for many years had been cleared.
On the slightly blackened floor. There was no trace of heavy objects being dragged, and the ornaments and paintings on the wall were carefully removed, and they were obviously transported away.
Those researchers who were still conducting research in this relic would be imprisoned and thrown into a corner by Becky before they saw Raymond coming. Therefore, when Raymond came to the hidden storage room, what he saw was the interstellar transport container that had been disassembled and belonged to the Interstellar Alliance.
The internal facilities had been emptied, and even the box had been disassembled. Raymond, who would not gain anything, did not delay too much. After arriving at the basement where the Minotaur Cyril fell, he began to lay the talisman array.
Although the time was a long time ago. But the vague marks imprinted on the ceiling still allowed Raymond to find the outline of the Minotaur Cyril and the shape of Winnie's head in his arms.
Anita, the porcelain girl who knew about the past between Minotaur Cyril and Winnie before coming here, raised her face and soon burst into tears. Even Becky looked a little sad, obviously hurt by the relationship between the two.
After many attempts, the talisman array began to expand outward after it was put into operation. The weak fluctuations made the entire basement produce a cold atmosphere, and finally caused cracks on the surface of the ceiling at the top of the talisman array.
With a crackling sound, the rotten wall began to peel off, and the blurred traces left by the strong light and high temperature were gradually erased and faded as if washed by water, and finally the blue-black stone strips underneath were completely revealed.
Raymond, who was waiting, felt nervous when he saw this, and was about to take other measures, but silky smoke suddenly appeared from the blue-black stone strips, and after gradually gathering together, it formed a slightly blurred and thin face. Its empty eyes seemed to have no focus, but it was aimed downward at Raymond and others who were outside the talisman formation.
Pointed chin, curved eyebrows, although this face is still in a state of virtuality, Raymond, who just raised his hand, felt relieved. His mind turned and the speed of the rune array was increased again. The swirling suction formed by it made the entire ceiling vibrate, and the silky smoke was forcibly extracted from the blue-black stone strips, and gathered and merged into a very hot human female phantom.
In his originally empty eyes, a touch of confusion flashed out, and it was already clear that this was the remnant soul of the human knight Winnie. Raymond was very strange, because in his imagination, the one who should be extracted and gathered here should be the minotaur Cyril, not Winnie who was carried in his arms and brought here!
Becky, who also noticed the abnormality, stared at the human-shaped phantom for a moment and pointed at the blue-black stone strips behind it in vain. "Sir! Have you noticed that there is a minotaur face behind her?"
Raymond stopped the energy fluctuations between his hands. He looked up at the confused Winnie's residual soul hovering on the ceiling for a moment, and then he found that there was a faint shadow of a minotaur face behind her.
There was no body. The shadow behind Winnie's neck was just a face, but its outline was very similar to that of the minotaur Cyril!
"Lei, Raymond... Why are you, you, you here? Why can't I move..."
Raymond, who was thinking about the reason, vaguely heard a murmur-like sound. The hoarse but slightly magnetic voice was very consistent with Winnie's voice in his memory.
After he approached, Winnie's residual soul gradually condensed her body as the talisman array operated. However, Raymond, who did not restrict her movements, found that Winnie's residual soul seemed to have no ability to move. She seemed to be forcibly stranded on the ceiling... (To be continued ~^~)
