Chapter 346 Encountering the Pyramid

In the wilderness, a magic support vehicle was speeding recklessly in the wilderness.

In the car, Richard leisurely controlled the direction of the magic support vehicle, humming a tuneless little song.

Not long ago, he used the link function of the nightmare artifact to take down the Three Wolf Town almost without bloodshed. Under the forced link of the black pyramid, the nightmare power of those nightmare creatures was pulled to the bottom by Richard, and they directly fell into nightmare spirits. Those who were protected by nightmare rules were also blown into pieces by Richard's spells.

The only few survivors also happened to hide in the death-seeking tavern.

This battle brought Richard nearly 1.5 million nightmare powers. The only pity was that the nightmare rules on these nightmare creatures would disappear immediately once they died. Even with the miracle furnace, Richard did not get any nightmare rules.

This made Richard depressed for a while.

The nightmare power obtained from the Three Wolf Town plus the nightmare power Richard had accumulated before were enough to replenish Richard's mental power to the limit of a second-ring wizard.

But although the nightmare power was enough, refining them all became a problem.

With Richard's current mental power quality, the consumption of refining a strand of nightmare power has changed from the original 0.01 mental power to the current 0.005 mental power.

But more than two million nightmare powers also require nearly 10,000 mental powers to refine.

And if Richard wants to fully restore his mental power, he needs to have eight hours of deep sleep. With his current 100 points of mental power, he has to sleep for at least 40 days in a row to refine all the nightmare power.

Of course, in actual operation, this time will be shortened a lot, because it is definitely necessary to improve mental power while refining.

But it is undeniable that this is still a somewhat boring thing.

Breaking through the third ring is not a very urgent thing for Richard. Although his current level of knowledge can be called a master among the first-ring wizards. But among the second-ring wizards, he is just an ordinary wizard. At most, he has a little more magic essence than other second-ring wizards.

As for the third-ring wizards... In the history of the wizard world, there should never be a third-ring wizard as weak as Richard.

So Richard was not particularly anxious to refine the nightmare power during this period.

He spent at most half of his mental power as fuel for the Miracle Furnace every day, and the remaining half of his mental power was used by him to deal with daily life.

He is currently looking for new lawless places according to the guidance of the map.

He plans to devour the lawless places marked on the map one by one.

Of course, Richard will not treat the remaining lawless places as roughly as he did the Three Wolf Town.

That would be too conspicuous.

He only plans to secretly devour a part of it, and then leave quietly and go to the next lawless place.

Richard calculated that in about ten years, he can visit the lawless places of this ring.

Then he headed towards the outer ring of the nightmare ring.

After consuming enough nightmare power in the outer ring to become a nightmare knight, he crossed the domain and went to the range of the fourth ring Tower of Truth.

The nightmare land is a blessed land for him, so he plans to get a piece of territory and cultivate it carefully to provide himself with a constant supply of nightmare power.

In this way, he will have endless soul essence.

When he comes to the fourth ring Tower of Truth, Richard can operate in the wizard world.

He can build a wizard tower in the wilderness, and then build a mortal kingdom around this wizard tower.

In this way, within two hundred years, Richard can obtain a nightmare territory with a rich population, and he does not need to compete with other nightmare lords.

Imagine the beautiful vision of the freedom of soul essence, Richard controls the spell support vehicle, accelerates suddenly, and rushes towards a black dot on the horizon.

...

Cemetery City, a large lawless land.

In the ancient past, this lawless land was once a prosperous nightmare territory. But with the migration of humans in the material world, this prosperous territory was abandoned by his lord, and it gradually became a paradise for free nightmare creatures.

Five kilometers outside the cemetery city, Richard turned the spell support vehicle into nightmare power and took it back.

The spell support vehicle is a bit conspicuous, and the style is somewhat different from the creations in the nightmare world, which is very inconsistent with Richard's low-key idea.

As the last part of the spell support vehicle turned into nightmare power, Richard called to the bones: "Let's go,"

Walk into the cemetery city.

At the outermost edge of the cemetery city, there lived a group of nightmare spirits that were not even small nightmares. There were still a few humans living in the area where these nightmare spirits lived, and they relied on these humans to barely make a living.

Even in the lawless land, it was inevitable that the nightmare spirits would be exploited.

But compared with the nightmare territory, the lawless land has one more rule, that is, plundering each other.

These nightmare spirits will fight each other, and often one or two small nightmares will be rolled out of the nightmare spirits during the gap of one or two tax collections.

This is almost impossible to happen in the nightmare territory.

Because any skilled nightmare spirit is the property of the lord, and is a hen that continuously produces nightmare power.

Entering this area, the terrible aura of Richard and the others instantly made a large group of nightmare spirits retreat.

For them, the big nightmare is already a big man who knows everything.

Passing through the outer city where the nightmare spirits are, the inner city appears in front of Richard.

The buildings in the inner city are very dilapidated. After years of baptism, most of these buildings are somewhat incomplete. The walls and ruins are covered with moss and vines.

The little nightmare and the big nightmare of the cemetery city live here.

In the center of this lawless land, there is a place called the City Lord District.

Legend has it that a strong man of the nightmare knight level lives in the City Lord District.

After understanding the structure of the cemetery city, Richard couldn't help but have a sense of déjà vu.

This place is apart from the nightmare spirits that allow fighting, and the population is too sparse, so the big and small nightmares need to go out to do the dirty work assigned by the territory.

It seems to be not much different from the ordinary nightmare territory.

"When the number of people reaches a certain level, order will inevitably appear." Richard sighed slightly.

Shortly after they entered the inner city, they encountered a three-meter-tall ogre with two heads.

The ogre's four eyes carefully looked at Richard and the others. Then one of his heads, which had broken fangs and scarred faces, said dully:

"Outsiders need to pay taxes to live in the Cemetery City."

Then, his other head shouted in a sharp voice: "Big Nightmare needs to pay 500 nightmare crystals per month, and Little Nightmare needs to pay 50 nightmare crystals per month.

Small guy, are you Big Nightmare or Little Nightmare?"

The small guy the ogre was talking about was naturally Richard next to Bone.

Bone's body was already strong, and after putting on a layer of fine gold armor, his height was close to three meters, which was just a head shorter than the ogre.

And Richard, who was almost two meters tall, naturally became a small guy in front of these two big guys.

"Pay taxes?" Bone said coldly, "I ran away from the territory just to avoid paying taxes!

I have to pay taxes before leaving the territory, and I have to pay taxes after leaving the territory, so I ran away in vain?"

After that, Bone took the fine gold sword behind him in his hand, as if he was going to fight the ogre.

"Tin Man," "Don't get excited." "This is the tax the city lord wants to collect." "You don't want to," "Wait until the city lord wakes up,"

"We're all finished!"

The two-headed ogre spoke from each head, with dull and sharp voices alternating, making people feel upset.

However, Richard still understood what he meant.

This cemetery city is the same as an ordinary nightmare territory, and taxes must be paid to the lord.

And the lord of the cemetery city seems to be more irritable. If the tax is not paid enough, he will take action to get rid of the nightmare creatures that have not paid the tax.

Or get rid of the nightmare creatures in the entire cemetery city.

"Really?" Richard said calmly, "I don't think the city lord will wake up for a small person like us."

"I've said it all." "If you don't want to give it to me," "Then let someone else collect it."

"But if it's someone else," "I won't be able to talk to you!"

The two-headed ogre threatened one after another, and when he saw that Richard and the other two still didn't pay taxes, he immediately ran towards the interior of the cemetery city with heavy steps.

He shouted loudly while running.

"Someone doesn't pay taxes!" "Someone doesn't pay taxes!"

And as he shouted, nightmare creatures walked out of the dilapidated buildings in the inner city.

"Are there any new people who don't pay taxes?"

"Haha, look at those two stupid pigs, still standing there stupidly. When the tax chief comes, he will be eaten."

"Tin Man, little guy, good job, don't pay taxes!"

...

Listening to the discussions of the nightmare creatures around him, Richard's face remained unchanged.

Since he wanted to steal food in the cemetery city, he naturally had to understand the local forces in the cemetery city.

If the tax chief is strong, he doesn't mind paying more taxes later to satisfy the tax chief's appetite.

Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and the nightmare power he lost will eventually be recovered in the cemetery city.

Soon, a neat sound of footsteps came from the depths of the cemetery city.

Hearing this sound of footsteps, all the nightmare creatures stopped talking.

A ghost carriage driven by a skeleton coachman appeared first, and behind the carriage, a luxuriously decorated black pyramid was slowly "flying" - under this black pyramid, hundreds of black humanoid slaves carried this huge monster on their shoulders.

Richard looked at the pyramid and smiled slightly.

"It seems that I met an acquaintance."

The ghost carriage came in front of Richard, and the skeleton coachman immediately got off the car and bowed to Richard respectfully: "Master."

The coachman of this carriage was the nightmare creature that Richard had once named - "Coachman".

Hearing the title of master, the nightmare creatures around who were ready to watch the show were immediately dumbfounded.

How can this tax chief's good dog call other nightmare creatures his master?

Soon, the black pyramid also came to Richard.

An eye opened on the black pyramid, and after the eyeball turned around, it quickly locked onto Richard. Then the black pyramid shrank rapidly. In addition to shrinking, the black figures carrying the pyramids were connected head to tail, turning into four limbs like stick drawings, inserted into the pyramids.

"Wizard, long time no see." The tax chief said.

Richard replied lightly: "Yes, long time no see."

This tax official of the cemetery city was the nightmare lord who had traded with Richard that year - the pyramid.
