552 Road

"Lord Raymond, over there is the highest mountain in the west of the Horn of Despair, Mount Elka..."

"Lord Raymond, this is the largest granary in the Horn of Despair, the North Lake Plain..."

With a handsome face and a very soft voice, Reginold, a first-class crystallization wizard, rode on a horse, leaned close to the side window of a luxurious carriage, and introduced the names of the surroundings respectfully.

Inside the side window of the propped up carriage, Raymond with a calm face listened to his introduction and observed everything in his field of vision.

It has been 20 days since he left the porcelain village by the lake, and Reginald, who no longer had any hope of finding the whereabouts of the porcelain tribe, hurriedly set off for Red Crow Castle at Raymond's request.

Since the elemental tidal storm had just subsided, one week before the departure, one could often see dead monsters and various birds on the roadside.

The three-month-long elemental tidal storm caused the entire Corner of Despair to suffer from devastation, but this natural disaster is also an opportunity for creatures to evolve.

Chaotic energy and various sudden situations make creatures have to increase their physical strength while being hit. After accepting this natural disaster-like baptism, new life will be born when some species disappear form.

After leaving the porcelain village, Lei Meng passed through desolate hills, lush forests, and continuous mountains along the way, and finally arrived at the vast plain in front of him.

Humans, half-orcs and a small number of gnomes live on the great plains that have been baptized by elemental tidal storms.

These races live and farm on the Great Plains, and while being ruled by Red Crow Castle, they also enjoy the security provided by Red Crow Castle.

The golden wheat field is approaching the harvest season, and the convoy led by Reginald was warmly welcomed by the local village after entering here.

And the giant monster that looks ferocious and terrifying, for the creatures living on the Great Plains. It is to provide them with a safe guardian.

"Lord Raymond, after entering here, Shufayou's contact has returned to normal," Reginold, who was following the carriage, noticed that Raymond was a little absent-minded, and coughed lightly to make the point. "Master Viala will hold a grand welcome ceremony for you, I hope you will like it..."

He really wanted to tactfully express his refusal, but thinking of the friendliness shown by Witch Viala all the time, Lei Meng finally acquiesced. "Master Viara is too polite."

Sensing that Raymond had lost interest in the conversation, Reginald nodded knowingly and then speeded up, quickly leaving Raymond's carriage and rushing to the front of the convoy.

Raymond reached out to close the side window. After casting an isolating force field casually, the inside and outside of the carriage were isolated.

Lei Meng, who lowered his head, picked up the wooden box beside him and placed it on the low table in front of him, then carefully opened the lid of the box.

Anita, a porcelain girl lying curled up in a wooden box, turned her body sideways and used her hands as pillows. The ruddy face is sleeping soundly.

There was a hint of helplessness in Lei Meng's eyes, and he smiled wryly. "Sleeping for three days. What happened to her? It seems that it is right to regard stubbornness as a synonym for stubbornness..."

Raymond, with red dots flashing in his pupils, gave instructions to the chip after turning on the chip detection function. "Check Anita's status!"

"Task creation, start analysis..."

With the appearance of the chip's stereotyped voice, a large amount of data began to refresh in Raymond's sight.

Anita, the porcelain girl found in the basement, has realized the first racial talent of the porcelain race. You can make her body bigger or smaller at will.

This kind of racial talent, which surprised Raymond, was a tailor-made ability for Anita, especially after she fused many kinds of metals, this talent greatly increased her survivability.

It's just the awakening of the porcelain people's racial talent. But it caused the porcelain girl Anita to suffer from drowsiness, which led to her present situation, and if she was not woken up, she could sleep peacefully for a week at most.

Raymond, who was looking at the porcelain girl Anita, was a little distracted, but the prompt sound of the chip woke him up. "The task is completed, the results are as follows..."

Anita: Inorganic life. Strength 3.6, Dexterity 3.7, Constitution 16.0, Spirit 4.9, Mana 13.8. Genetic information: Unknown. Physical condition: healthy.

Facing the conclusion that appeared in the sight of Raymond, he let out a long breath and was very helpless.

The results of the previous investigation were similar, but Anita, whose various attributes were still slowly improving, was still astounded by the speed at which her physique improved.

But when Anita, a porcelain girl who doesn't need to breathe, was sleeping, her life fluctuations almost stagnated, and the energy contained in her body was also in a stagnant state, making her as ordinary as a real porcelain doll.

It's just that the mass of more than 500 kilograms makes her body dense to an incredible level. According to the judgment of the chip, her body can completely withstand the pure physical attack of a second-level wizard.

Raymond gently poked the porcelain girl Anita with his fingers, the touch from his fingertips was still extremely hard, but the cold body appeared with the touch of Raymond's fingertips. The phenomenon of softness and heating.

A moment later, as Raymond scratched her armpit lightly with his fingertips, a smile appeared on the porcelain girl Anita's face, followed by Anita who suddenly clamped her arms together, and yelled. "Oh! My lord, don't tickle me, it's so itchy..."

Anita, a very ticklish porcelain girl, twisted her body, opened her hazy eyes, pouted her small mouth and complained to Raymond. "I've only slept for a while, let me sleep for a while..."

"Still sleeping!" Anita, a porcelain girl less than ten centimeters tall, was only slightly longer than Raymond's fingers, but her complaints made Raymond dumbfounded. "It's been three days, if you sleep any longer, you'll be at Red Crow Castle!"

"Aren't you fooling me?" Anita, the porcelain girl who moved her body and sat up in the wooden box, had doubts in her eyes. "It's really not long since I fell asleep, how could it be three days!"

"It's been three weeks since you left the village, and you haven't been awake for a single day from the beginning to the end," Lei Meng, who carefully pinched Anita's arm, lifted her out of the wooden box and put her in the short On the table, another cross-examination began. "Today, you must explain the issue of the porcelain village to me clearly!"

Anita, whose small face immediately became bitter, pouted her small mouth. "My lord, didn't I tell you last time, I will tell you everything when the elemental tidal storm comes next time..."

"The next elemental tidal storm will come? Fifty years later?" Faint anger began to accumulate in Raymond's body, but looking at Anita who was still nodding with an innocent expression, Raymond took a deep breath. Only then did I open my mouth. "Since you don't want to say anything, I'll pass on my guess to Witch Viala and ask her to send someone over to check!"

"Your guess?" Anita, the porcelain girl who repeated Raymond's words, showed anxiety on her face, and the suspicion in her eyes became more intense, but she quickly piled up a smile on her face . "Oh! Then I'll listen carefully to your conjectures..."

The protracted ending and the forced smile made the pretty and lovely porcelain girl Anita even cuter, but Raymond, who stretched his fingers over, found that he still couldn't pinch her little face with his fingers.

"In less than two days, half of the more than 800 porcelain figurines were infants," said Lei Meng, who looked directly into the eyes of the porcelain figurine girl Anita and spoke slowly, carefully observing everything about her. "Then these porcelain people who can't run far must be near the village..."

Anita, who was not good at disguising, had a hint of surprise in her eyes when she heard the sound, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.

But Raymond, who suddenly sped up his speech, also expressed his final guess. "The excavation of the tunnel is very difficult, but the porcelain people built near the lake don't need to breathe or eat, so the best choice is probably the bottom of the lake..."

But before Raymond could finish speaking, Anita who immediately climbed into the wooden box lay down again, closed her eyes and gave her answer. "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep!" (To be continued...)
