557 Waiting

() In the spacious and gloomy library, two magic lamps were placed at both ends of the long table, exuding bright yellow light.

Raymond, who was sitting on the bench, was holding a thick book in his hand, and was copying the contents through a chip.

Although the library in Red Crow Castle was very spacious, many of the bookshelves inside were empty. It was only because someone cleaned and tidied up regularly that there was no accumulation of dust.

Family trees, personal biographies, city records, business statistics...

In the library with a total of more than 200 books, more than 90% of the books are not worth reading, and many books are bound with tanned animal skins, obviously no special book making tools are used.

Many books belonging to genealogy and personal biographies have not been checked for many years, and the tanned animal skins inside are sticky and need to be handled carefully before they can be opened.

But for Raymond, he only needs to browse these books to copy them, so the contents of all the books here have been recorded by the chip, waiting for the chip to sort out and synthesize the information. ..

This library, which had been occupied by Witch Viala for hundreds of years, did not receive much attention from her. However, after Raymond recorded all the contents of the books, he still obtained some useful information through the retrieval and sorting of the chip.

Built in the center of Red Crow Castle on the eastern Great Plains of the Horn of Despair, this wizard tower has a history of more than 5,000 years, and it is impossible to calculate its true construction age according to time, because the people who first came here to establish rule Wizards were not born in this country either.

And the wizards who occupy this wizard tower, whether they are born locally or outsiders, will only have one descendant even if they have descendants, and the wizards who appear in the entire corner of despair. None of them can advance to become a second-level wizard here.

After comparing all the maps, the terrain of the entire Horn of Despair has undergone thousands of years of changes, and its area and edge areas have not changed.

In the corner of despair where there is no ocean, except for the abyss in the west, the other three directions eventually enter a state of space emptiness, and the high-intensity space turbulence forms a fault-like shield, which cannot be crossed at all.

As for the abyss in the west, because of the hysteresis force field and the Thunderbirds in the center of the abyss, it became an act of sending one's death to one who wanted to fly across the abyss and leave the corner of despair.

Raymond finally found the answer to the "cage" mentioned by Witch Viala through the books in the library. This place is like a huge forgotten testing ground, through the elemental tidal storm once every fifty years, the creatures here have some kind of mutation.

And these local wizards, whether they are foreign or native born, are restricted here and cannot leave. Unless you reached level 2 or above when you entered, you could only maintain the strength of a level 1 wizard until you died of old age.

Because there is some kind of space power in the corner of despair that has such limitations. Therefore, it will attract those who are involved in the turbulent flow of space. Or the entry of wizards who failed to transmit.

And the biggest secret of the entire Horn of Despair is under the wizard tower in the center of Red Crow Castle.

The area at the bottom of the wizard tower described in a biography has a depth of five hundred meters, and the area cannot be estimated at all.

The old wizard who discovered that there is such a huge area at the bottom of the wizard tower, because he only has the strength of first-level crystallization, he can't pass through those powerful force fields at all. Check the condition of the bottom area.

But according to the speculation of this old wizard who was two thousand years ago, the way to leave the corner of despair must be hidden in it.

The short description that was slightly mentioned allowed Raymond to understand that there is a huge area under the wizard tower, and the hope of leaving the corner of despair is probably there.

After storing all the contents of the collection in the library into the chip. Raymond conducted a careful inspection of the entire library, but all the hidden compartments had been opened, and Raymond, who had no more gains, had to leave here in the end to check the areas he could enter.

The magic power testing room has meaning for wizards below the first level, but for Raymond, unless he wants to destroy it, it is no longer suitable for him to come here.

As for Witch Viala's warehouse, although there are a lot of materials piled up in it, after Lei Meng's careful identification, it is found that most of them are materials produced by the corner of despair. He cannot use it.

And those mined metal ingots were all types that Lei Meng had seen before, and they did not form a strong attraction to Lei Meng.

Raymond, who spent three days inspecting the surface of the Wizard Tower, finally felt disappointed.

A second-level wizard who has ruled a vast area in the Horn of Despair for such a long time, if she hadn't transferred important supplies, then the resources she possessed would be pitiful.

But Witch Viala, who still hasn't come out of that important experiment, made it impossible for Raymond to inquire, so he had to call Reginald and ask him to introduce everything taught by Witch Viara.

It should be Reginald, who was instructed by Witch Viala. As long as it is not involved in the purpose of Witch Viala inviting Raymond, he knows all about Raymond's questions and tells them in great detail. something was missing.

It is impossible to tell whether what Reginald said is true or not, but Reginald, who has a handsome face and a soft voice, has always given Raymond the impression that he is like a gentleman born from a big family. This attitude and personal style have been formed after years of training and coaching.

And after accepting Reginald's invitation to enter his ancestral home in Red Crow Castle, Raymond also verified his guess by observing his family members.

It took nine hundred years to form a huge family. Although it developed through commercial circulation, because Reginald's family children have the potential of wizards, this family that is not very keen on power struggles has always lived in peace. Inside the Red Crow Castle, it belongs to the famous big family in the entire Horn of Despair.

It's just that Reginald, who has more than thirty wives and concubines, has a strong desire for the birth of children, but I don't know if it's because he is a first-level wizard. He only has one only son born during the wizard apprenticeship period. , and because he didn't have the potential of a wizard, he took over the family business and lived in Red Crow Castle as a nobleman.

Therefore, Raymond, who had a general understanding of the customs here, directly narrated Leslie's question, asking about the truth about the fire crow's peeps at this girl.

Leslie, who only has the strength of a first-level wizard apprentice, because she was originally a human being, so Reginald is relatively clear about her situation.

Leslie, who passed the wizard potential test at the age of eleven, did not receive the attention of Witch Viala because she did not have the possibility of further promotion. It has an incomprehensible preference for human girls, so it made a request to Witch Viala two years ago.

But because the final fate of all the human women it wants to leave is to become the victims of their descendants, and the reproduction experiment carried out by the fire crow did not give birth to strong descendants, which makes Viala Witch here Its request was not followed up for several years.

"There are currently six human women in Leslie's situation in the Wizard's Tower." The friendly communication brought Regginod's frankness, and he also sympathized with these poor girls. "If you are willing to help, my lord, then their fate will be improved!"

Raymond, who understood Witch Viala's attitude towards these disciples, confirmed in a disguised form that everything Leslie said was true. Therefore, while waiting for Witch Viala to complete the experiment, he directly let Leslie move in. his room.

As for the other five human girls facing the same fate, Raymond also returned their right to choose their fates through Leslie's message... (to be continued...)
