553 Arrived

Boom, boom, boom...

The salute fired from the city wall formed dazzling fireworks in the air, announcing Red Crow Castle's warm welcome for Raymond's arrival.

Red Crow Castle, built on a vast plain, is as bright as a bright ruby ​​on a green earth, but after Raymond approaches, the dark purple color makes this city with walls depressing and solemn .

Those knights riding six-legged magic bulls lined up along the main road to the outside of the city. These city guards in full body armor made the welcome ceremony more solemn, but they also had a faint taste of showing off.

The largest human city in the entire Horn of Despair, Red Crow Castle, has nearly 100,000 permanent residents, and the 100-meter-high wizard tower in the center of the city can be seen without getting close.

Before the convoy entered the city, with the help of the chip, Raymond saw the old woman sitting on the middle terrace of the wizard tower after superimposing the "Eagle Eye".

On the spacious terrace, Witch Vialla in fine attire looks old, but she has a graceful demeanor, and when Raymond watched her, Witch Viala seemed to sense Raymond's With a normal gaze, a smile appeared on her face, and she raised the wine glass in her hand as a gesture.

Seeing this, Raymond retracted his gaze, with a probing expression on his face.

"Lord Raymond, Lord Viala is very pleased with your arrival," Reginald, who had just passed through the city gate but was half a body behind, approached amidst the roar of the salute. "She wants you to go straight to her wizard's tower."

Raymond nodded his head in agreement, and entered Red Crow Castle under the guidance of Reginald, but the slight squirm in his chest caused a strange smile to appear on Raymond's face.

The palm was raised slightly, but Lei Meng's little finger flicked inadvertently on the bulging part of his chest, accompanied by a slight cry of pain. The little bulge that stopped trying to move finally calmed down slowly.

With a smile on his face, Raymond moved his hand on his chest away, but with the slight movement of his lips, the porcelain girl Anita hidden in his chest pocket echoed in his ears. his voice. "I'll go see Witch Viara in a while, if you dare to move again, I'll stuff you into your shoes later!"

The porcelain girl Anita, who was packed in a velvet bag, covered the swollen and painful bulge on her forehead, her small mouth shrunk, but soon she yawned bored. Lie down again and fell into a deep sleep.

Feeling that the temperature on his chest had begun to drop, Raymond shook his head and smiled wryly, turning his gaze to the wizard tower that was getting closer.

The purple-red wizard tower is located in the center of the square in the very center of Red Crow Castle, with armored knights on both sides of the road. The square where the wizard tower is located has already been cleared and put under martial law. Such a grand welcome scene surprised Raymond slightly.

Witch Viala, who is the supreme ruler of the entire Horn of Despair. Under the introduction of his disciple Reginald. She is not a wizard who lives alone in the native land. Witch Viala emerged from the glacier in the far east of the Horn of Despair more than 400 years ago and killed the master of the wizard tower of the original Red Crow Castle. Ruler of the Horn of Despair.

But after she stabilized her ruling power, she adopted a method different from the harsh rule of the original Lord of Red Crow Castle, and began to search for intelligent races with wizard potential throughout the entire Horn of Despair. Cultivate and teach the best among them, and finally formed the current extremely united situation.

But I don't know if it's because of the environment and resources here, under the training of Witch Viala regardless of the cost, none of the disciples she has accepted can break through to the level of a second-level wizard. The most promising disciple also fell when he attacked the second-level wizard more than a hundred years ago.

Recalling the information about Witch Viala obtained from Reginald, Raymond jumped off his mount after arriving at the square where the wizard tower was located, and walked slowly along the red carpeted passage. To this huge wizard tower.

"Welcome, Honorable Lord Raymond!"

As Raymond moved forward, the city guards and maids standing on both sides of the steps of the Wizard Tower bowed to salute Raymond one by one, sending out neat and loud greetings.

And Witch Viala, who was standing at the door of the Wizard Tower with a smile on her face, slowly greeted Raymond after he stepped on the last step.

"Lord Raymond, welcome to Red Crow Castle," Witch Viara bowed her head slightly with a gentle smile on her face. "After waiting for so long, I finally saw you in person!"

"Master Viara, you are too polite!" Lei Meng, who was saluting with one hand on his chest in accordance with the etiquette of a wizard, had red dots flashing in his pupils, and gave instructions to the chip. "Detect Viala's state!"

"Task creation, start analysis..."

Accompanied by the stereotyped voice of the chip, Witch Viala welcomed Raymond into the Wizard Tower with a smile, and led Raymond directly through the hall on the first floor of the Wizard Tower to the reception room.

A beautiful and shy maid, and a strong and vigilant attendant, but in this ancient and decaying wizard tower, Raymond felt a deep chill, which made him frown even after he sat down.

The gray-haired witch Viala, with a very peaceful expression, seemed very excited. After the two parties sat down, she looked up and down Lei Meng with probing eyes, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Master Viara, I deeply regret the disappearance of the Chinese people," Lei Meng started the conversation before Witch Viara could speak. "Because I am very unfamiliar with this race, so I didn't check for a while and caused such consequences..."

"You don't need to apologize, it's just a trivial matter," Witch Viala who immediately interrupted Raymond's words showed a hint of sadness in her eyes. "These resources produced by the Porcelain Man are only for Sabina's promotion, but unfortunately she still failed to succeed, that poor child..."

I don't know if it was to comfort Raymond, or because she was originally a talkative person, Witch Viala then introduced the reason for persecuting the porcelain man.

Because the Corner of Despair is a closed area, many of the materials needed by wizards to advance to the second level cannot be obtained here, so Witch Viala had to sell the porcelain produced by Sabina in order to advance to the second level wizard. Bitterness Water as a consumable.

However, the task of collecting bitter water was given to Sabina's Witch Viara, but she did not expect that she would severely persecute the porcelain race in order to obtain a large amount of bitter water. way, almost wiped out the genocide.

But fortunately, the search team led by Reginald finally preserved the last porcelain village because of Raymond, and did not lead to the tragedy of genocide.

"It's a pity that I have been preparing for Sabina's promotion for ten years and finally failed. This child who made a big mistake also paid her life as the price," said the apologetic Witch Viala, although there was something in her eyes. There was a touch of sadness, but her smile was still very gentle. "Porcelain people will no longer be affected, so it doesn't matter if they disappear or not."

Raymond bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude. I don't know if there was an illusion, but there seemed to be indifference in Witch Viala's apologetic words, a kind of indifference that originated from the inner disinterest in everything!

Casual chatting, this age at least has Viala Witch who is over 500 years old, not only very talkative, but also willing to answer all of Raymond's questions.

According to the chip's detection of Witch Viala, Raymond was surprised to find that she was a wizard with a space defense force field on her body surface. Therefore, after Raymond's rash questioning, he finally understood Viara's The witch turned out to be a wizard with a family-inherited spatial attribute affinity!

Therefore, the topic unknowingly turned to the discussion of spells, and Witch Viala told Raymond frankly that she not only has a deep research on space-type spells, but is also a proficient Wizards of various talismans... (to be continued...)
