532 Prisoner
The Warcraft Fire Raven, whose strength is comparable to that of a first-level wizard, does not yet have the ability to change form, but the ancient Torrian language spoken from its mouth is very standard.
Fire Crow, who was led into the small building by the porcelain girl Blanche, was very respectful towards Raymond. After saluting in a strange gesture, he put a letter sealed with wax paint on the table. .
"Dear Lord Raymond, this is a personal letter from Lord Viala, and she is also very sorry for what happened in the porcelain village."
With a calm tone, polite speech, and the ability to express human emotions in his eyes, this fire crow made Lei Meng feel good after speaking.
After the slightly fragrant envelope was opened, there was only a thin piece of letter paper inside, but the ancient Torric language written in cursive script on it looked meaningful and elegant. From the font, it could be seen that Red Crow Castle's Viala should be an extremely careful and conservative person.
The meaning of the letter was very simple. Witch Viala expressed her great joy at Raymond's appearance, and invited Raymond to meet her at Red Crow Castle when the time was right.
As for the bitter water produced by the porcelain village, Witch Viala euphemistically expressed in her letter that she hopes to have it together, and she is willing to compensate Raymond for the part sold.
"Respected Lord Raymond, Lord Viala hopes that you can sell a little share," the fire crow explained after patiently waiting for Raymond to read the letter. "Because the bitter water produced by the porcelain people is extremely useful to her, so I hope you can understand."
Facing the gentle and polite Firecrow in front of him, Lei Meng couldn't help but feel a strange feeling when he told the needs openly and honestly.
The acquisition of resources is the guarantee for the improvement of strength for wizards, and even some important resources can be almost equivalent to the life of wizards.
But according to the meaning expressed in Witch Viala's letter. As well as the attitude shown by this fire crow, the attitude adopted by Witch Viara of Red Crow Castle is really too low.
"Why?" Lei Meng, with a calm face, questioned directly after a moment of contemplation. "Why exactly?"
The fire crow with fiery red feathers had a strange look in its eyes, but it answered immediately. "Master Viara hopes to become friends with you, and maintaining a friendly relationship will be beneficial to both parties."
"There are many kinds of friends, especially before meeting her in person, all impressions are vague," Huo Crow's formulaic answer did not satisfy Lei Meng. He looked directly into the eyes of the fire crow and muttered in a low voice. "I am a pharmacist, and I have experience in the use of any material..."
Following Raymond's muttering, the eyes of the huge Firecrow half-sitting on the floor became brighter and opened his mouth more respectfully. "Respected Lord Raymond, you don't need to doubt Lord Viala's sincerity. Because according to Lord Viara's instructions, the gift for you will arrive here in one month."
"Gift?" Raymond was even more surprised. Finally I couldn't bear it anymore. "A month?"
"Yes. A gift from Lord Viala!" Slowly raising its wings, it made a fire crow similar to a wizard's boob ceremony, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice. "But the only thing you need to understand is that the porcelain people here cannot leave immediately after the elemental tidal storm."
The "elemental tidal storm" mentioned again made Lei Meng feel the hidden meaning in it, but the huge fire crow in front of Lei Meng felt that it was not a suitable communication partner.
But the thought of needing to communicate with that cunning china man, old Hewlett. Raymond, who felt even more unacceptable, still felt extremely headache.
"Give me a reason!" Raymond, who had thought up to this point, immediately gave up the idea of looking for old Hewlett to understand, and turned to the respectful Firecrow in front of him. "What is the relationship between the elemental tidal storm and the porcelain man's departure?"
Turning its body slightly to the side, the huge Firecrow only realized something after looking at Raymond for a while. "It seems that you are really an outsider, Mr. Raymond. That's why you made such a judgment!"
Lei Meng, whose identity was exposed again, closed his mouth and stopped speaking, feeling a little depressed.
He didn't even realize that there was a problem there, but facing the Fire Crow with a smile in his eyes, Lei Meng couldn't help frowning quickly.
"Respected Lord Raymond, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you," Huo Ya, who slowly took two steps back, immediately bowed his head and spoke in an extremely sincere tone. "And you don't need to mind the issue of identity, because the entire Corner of Despair is actually a big natural cage, and all creatures here are prisoners!"
Lei Meng, whose eyes became sharper immediately after hearing the sound, stared at the huge Fire Crow and asked questions. "Prisoner? What prisoner?"
"Couldn't the creature that can only live in this small space be a prisoner?" Huo Ya's tone became a little emotional, but his eyes revealed sadness. "Respected Lord Raymond, you'd better communicate directly with Lord Viala regarding the issue of the Corner of Despair, because her explanation is the closest to the truth."
The Fire Crow, who seemed to be hesitating to speak with hidden feelings, made Lei Meng a little depressed, but as the envoy sent by Witch Viala, Lei Meng had no reason to persecute it.
After figuring it out, Raymond had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that the trip to Red Crow Castle must also be treated as an important matter.
"Then what is the amount of bitter water that Lord Viala needs? Can you give me a standard now?" Instead of continuing to entangle with the prisoner issue, Lei Meng directly brought the topic back to the original question. "And is there any difference in the bitter water produced by these porcelain people before and after the elemental tidal storm?"
"Master Viara needs to obtain 300 milliliters of bitter water every month, because this is the minimum she can accept," said Huo Ya, who had half-sat on the floor again, with a solemn tone. "And those porcelain people born after the elemental tidal storm must also be able to make up this number in a short time..."
Witch Viala, who owns more than 80% of the area of the Horn of Despair, is actually the supreme ruler of this land. The original village of the Chinese people is just a small race that is dispensable to her, and has not been favored by her. Pay attention to.
However, due to some reason in the past ten years, Witch Viara, who lived in Red Crow Castle, suddenly became very interested in these rare porcelain figurines. Small teams look for them outside.
But the method of extracting the bitter water is only mastered by the elders of the porcelain tribe, so Viala's disciple Reginald will appear on the lakeside and attack the old Hewlett's porcelain village.
However, the method of extracting the bitter water is like the highest secret of the porcelain people. Even in the face of the whole family being exterminated, Witch Viala has not been able to force the porcelain people to explain the method.
As a result, the number of porcelain people imprisoned in Red Crow Castle has exceeded 300, but after Reginald sent the message of being blocked here to Lord Viala, the witch who lived in Red Crow Castle all year round changed. I came up with an idea and wanted to establish a long-term friendly cooperative relationship with Raymond and share the resources brought by the porcelain man.
Witch Viara's bottom line for the bitter water is that if the porcelain man can maintain a stable supply, then she can give up the method of extracting the bitter water, even those who are imprisoned in the Red Crow Castle, she can all freed.
Raymond was surprised that Witch Viala, represented by Firecrow, could offer such a condition.
Because Witch Viara, who lives in Red Crow Castle, doesn't need to be so troublesome at all. With the power she has here, she can send a large number of subordinates to easily regain control of the porcelain village.
Raymond, who was lost in thought, couldn't understand the kindness of Witch Viala... (To be continued...)
