533 Dialogue

Red Crow Castle is located in the east of the Chinaman Village, and the age of its establishment is too long to be verified.

Witch Viala, who ruled the entire Horn of Despair, took most of the powerful races in this land under her banner, and cultivated some of them with potential intelligent creatures, and created some subordinates whose strength was greatly improved.

And this huge fire crow is the patriarch of the fire crow clan who originally lived near Red Crow Castle. It was supported by Witch Viala two hundred years ago, and its strength from a second-level wizard apprentice to a first-level wizard degree.

Under Witch Viala's command, there are no fewer than ten subordinates like it. Therefore, Witch Viara, who is not considered cruel, can be regarded as a qualified ruler for the creatures in the Horn of Despair.

The native creatures of the Horn of Despair, such as fire ravens, lizardmen, and trolls, can be said to be out of respect and admiration for Witch Viala, not because of her strength, they are willing to be driven by her like instinct, and for She provides everything.

The elemental tidal storm that occurs every fifty years is both an opportunity and a catastrophe for the creatures living here.

Creatures like the Porcelain Man will have more clansmen when the elemental tidal storm comes, and only then can they obtain some materials necessary for their race.

As for ordinary creatures, elemental tidal storms will destroy small settlements, deal severe blows to weak tribes, and even lead to the extinction of entire tribes.

But the fire crow, who obviously had scruples, after briefly explaining these things, shifted the question of resolving confusion to Witch Viala's invitation. "Lord Raymond, Lady Viala welcomes you very much, but since she cannot leave Red Crow Castle to come and invite her in person, please make sure to spare time to meet Lady Viala at Red Crow Castle. I believe all of your All the confusion will be cleared up after meeting Lord Viala!"

The candid eyes, the respectful attitude, and the elegant conversation, everything that this monster fire crow showed, made Lei Meng even more curious about the witch Viala who created it.

It's just that Lei Meng, who finally sent the Fire Crow away, couldn't help muttering to himself when he saw the back of the Fire Crow that flew into the sky and disappeared quickly. "What is the reason why Witch Viara was unable to leave Red Crow Castle, and she was willing to pay such a price in exchange for friendship and bitterness?"

He was puzzled, but there was no need for Raymond to go to Hewlett, the elder of the China Man Village. The old man appeared in front of Lei Meng soon after the fire crow left, and asked the fire crow's purpose.

Without too much politeness, Raymond directly turned the topic to the essence. "What was the tax that your village gave to Red Crow Castle in the past?"

"Exquisite hand embroidery, special aquatic products in the lake, a wide variety of medicinal materials produced in the mountains. And a small amount of bitter water," said old Hewlett, who knew that this was a matter of the survival of the porcelain village. First, the standard tax share ten years ago is described. Then he explained in detail the requirements of Red Raven Castle before the last conflict. "Originally, the ten-year tax was changed to once a year, and other tributes were cancelled, and the amount of bitter water was doubled, but because the method of extracting bitter water could not be handed over, this led to conflicts... ..."

Following Old Hewlett's explanation, combined with the amount of bitterness that Witch Viala needed, Raymond finally guessed the problem Witch Viala was facing.

Porcelain man is an inorganic life. The population was increased through the arrival of elemental tidal storms, but she miscalculated the porcelain people's attitude towards the conservative way of extracting bitter water, which led to the fact that in the area she ruled, except for Old Hewlett here. It should be the elder porcelain man who doesn't know how to extract the bitter water.

Therefore, although more than 300 porcelain people were imprisoned in Red Crow Castle, Witch Viara, who was unable to extract the bitter water by herself, could only compromise with the village of porcelain people living by the lake.

And the appearance of Raymond, an outsider, has become a bridge for Viala Witch to obtain bitter water in disguise. Under the condition of maintaining the bottom line of bitter water, more than 300 imprisoned porcelain people are exchanged for corresponding The bitterness of the water, and you can also show him favor.

Such a guess, although there are still many things worthy of scrutiny, but Raymond believes that this conclusion should be closer to the truth, so after telling the purpose of the fire crow, he asked the village elder Hewlett Talk about the conditions of Witch Viala.

"There are more than 300 porcelain men imprisoned in Red Crow Castle. If I ask Witch Viala to release them, can you guarantee a stable supply of bitter water?" Raymond directly took out this condition and began to talk. Looked straight into old Hewlett's eyes. "And after the elemental tidal storm comes, the entire porcelain village can't move quickly..."

"Three hundred porcelain men!" But the old Hewlett, who was frightened by the number Raymond said, didn't pay attention to what Raymond said afterwards, but muttered to himself in horror. "Living in the village of porcelain people in the corner of despair, there were less than a thousand porcelain people in its heyday. Witch Viala is trying to make us exterminate..."

Old Hewlett, who fell into indignation and fear, trembled, and two lines of dirty tears fell from his eyes, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

Raymond, who was quietly waiting for old Hewlett, could understand his anger and hatred, but the weak porcelain group had absolutely no ability to fight against Witch Viala.

The weak have no choice but to be slaughtered, and Raymond believes that the bitterness in the porcelain body should be extracted artificially. This is the secret that old Hewlett wants to protect. , it will be a futile and ridiculous struggle in front of high-ranking wizards.

"An adult porcelain man can only extract two milliliters of bitter water a week, and if he extracts too much, his lifespan will be greatly shortened," the old Hewlett, whose voice became a little hoarse and sad, finally said frankly Increased the output of bitter water. "There are more than 300 people of the same clan, as long as they have the ability, they must be rescued. Please take care of me, my lord!"

After speaking, the porcelain old Hewlett wanted to kneel down to Raymond, but Raymond couldn't bear such a big gift from him, so he quickly pulled him up from the ground. "The people from Red Crow Castle will come again in a month. Before they arrive, try to accumulate as much bitterness as possible. I will try my best to maintain the safety and integrity of the porcelain village!"

"Thank you for your love for the porcelain man!" Raymond's promise moved the old Hewlett very much. After he hesitated for a moment, struggle appeared on his face. "But if you want to increase the production of bitter water, you need a purple clay that is produced in the far east of the Cape of Despair."

Raymond, who was very surprised by the sound, couldn't help but frowned. "Can purple clay in the far east increase the yield of bitter water?"

Hewlett, the elder of China Village, who had a struggling expression, finally told the reason frankly. "This kind of clay can't directly increase the production of bitter water, but it can make up for the life lost by the porcelain man due to the extraction of bitter water!"

"Then before the Red Crow Castle team arrives, increase the production of bitter water as much as possible." After understanding the significance of this clay to the porcelain figure, Raymond directly expressed his thoughts. "I will negotiate with the people in Red Crow Castle to obtain this clay, and after the three hundred porcelain people are released, the survival of all the porcelain people will become easier!"

Old Hewlett, who bowed to leave, became more relaxed when he left, but Raymond, who was sitting in the room, was still confused.

But a moment later, a weak and timid voice came in from the door. "Ray, Lord Raymond, can I, can I ask you one thing?"

Raising his head, Lei Meng immediately saw the porcelain girl Anita standing at the door, with a fearful expression on her face, but expectation in her eyes.

"What's the matter?" Raymond, who asked in a daze, quickly realized, because the porcelain girl Anita actually spoke the ancient Torrian language!

"I, I want... I want to accept the kind of experiment you did before," Anita, the porcelain girl who immediately walked into the room with a happy face, spoke very firmly. "It is to inject substances such as metal into the body, so that the porcelain man can have a stronger experiment..." (To be continued...)
