After Inova left, Richard did not really follow the other party's suggestion to leave the temporary residence and go to various places in Pompeii, but waited quietly in the house for the night to come.

Soon, the sky was covered with a black veil, and the night gradually thickened.

In the middle of the night, Richard lay quietly on the bed in the room, his consciousness became chaotic little by little, but he remained clear in the chaos and did not fall into a dream.

The consciousness became more and more chaotic, the mind sank into the deepest part of the brain, the body also became rigid and out of control, and the whole person seemed to be dead.

At this moment, Richard felt the cells in his whole body vibrate, and his whole body almost bounced off the bed.

It's time to leave the body...... This thought flashed through Richard's mind, and suddenly it lightened, and the conscious body had been separated from the physical body with ease. A transparent strap attached to the back of his neck went through the roof like a hydrogen balloon and rose into the night sky of Pompeii.

Looking around, Richard saw that all over Pompeii Town, there were consciousness bodies similar to him floating out through the rooftops, and it was obvious that many wizards were meditating.

Some consciousness bodies only floated out of the roof for more than ten meters, which was a first-level wizard, and some floated out dozens of meters, which was a second-level wizard, and some floated out a distance of nearly 100 meters......

It should be a third-level wizard, and his strength should not be underestimated...... Floating in the air at an altitude of about five hundred meters, Richard thought silently.

Next, instead of trying to continue to raise and absorb the free energy element, or harass the consciousness that could not move freely, he recognized the range of Pompeii Town, aimed at a corner and plunged down. It's like a high platform diver, jumping straight off the 500-meter-high wooden platform and sticking his head into the pool below.

Silently, Richard's consciousness quickly touched the ground, and then sank deep, wrapped in the soil.

Richard observed his surroundings with his consciousness, constantly moving, exploring Pompey's underground world.

He did this for the simple reason of finding a good location to live in.

He didn't care about the environment of his residence, even if volcanic ash fell every day, it didn't matter, it was a big deal that he didn't go out of the house all the time. His concern was whether the house would support the creation of an underground space, whether it would be able to dig a hidden passage to the belly of the volcano.

The purpose of connecting to the belly of the volcano is also simple, that is, to secretly obtain a large amount of energy to fill the gap, and use it for nuclear weapons research and manufacturing programs.

Rommel had given him the third book of the Void, and after a brief study, he was sure that he could steadily absorb energy from the Void for a long time, but the cost was a bit high. To make a more expensive energy-absorbing tower, it also requires a long period of maintenance - all in all, it is not easy to achieve the same effect as the immortal tin wood - which can also be seen that the tin wood is indeed unusual.

If he hadn't come to Pompey, it wouldn't have been easy, but he would have found a way to overcome the difficulties and get everything done. However, when Pompey saw such a large energy core, his mind changed.

After all, he could have used the node in an easier way to continuously get a lot of energy.

The only thing to consider is that the use of nodes may be a bit too open-minded and consume too much energy, which will affect the effect of other nodes in the vicinity, have adverse effects, and be easily investigated. And digging a passageway, entering the belly of the volcano, and directly calling the vast heat energy there, there is no such worry.

Then, he must choose a good location so that the excavation passage is easy, hidden, and undetected.

So, where to choose?

Richard was deep in the soil, constantly moving, making assessments as he went.

In the first place, the soil is too loose, and once excavated, it is easy to cause collapse, which is not good.

In the second place, the soil is solid, but it is too lacking in water, it is not easy to shape, and it is difficult to transform.

In the third place, the soil is very moist, but it is too close to the ground for easy notice.

In the fourth place, the soil is full of water, and it is easy to sink without digging. If you excavate, you are afraid that a large area will collapse, and even nearby buildings will be affected. Well, what is it, a bit like mercury sulfide (cinnabar). If it is really mercury sulfide, digging a tunnel that leads directly to the belly of the volcano, and when the temperature rises, sulfur and mercury will be generated. Mercury itself is toxic, and sulfur dioxide is also toxic when it is burned to produce sulfur dioxide. This situation can't be worse, not only can't you choose, but you have to stay away. Next, next......

Like a patient with difficulty in choosing, Richard wandered through the supermarket, moving underground for more than an hour, assessing one area after another, and finally stopped.

"Well, everything is perfect here. The soil is stable, easy to shape, not very far from the belly of the volcano, not very close to the surface, no toxic ores, very good. Richard thought with satisfaction, controlling the consciousness body and moving towards the surface.

After a while, my head came out, and I saw a three-story stone building standing in front of me.

......

The next day.

Temporary living in a room.

"Wizard Richard, are you sure you're going to choose Stone Tower 1248?" asked Inokova, glancing at the map, to Richard's confirmation.

"I'm sure. Richard nodded.

"Then I must say, you have a good eye. "Although this stone tower is located in the corner of Pompeii, it is just sheltered from the volcanic ash falling from above, and the air circulation is smooth, so that it does not smell too strong with sulfur. Originally, I thought that it would take you two or three days to select such a suitable stone building, but I didn't expect you to complete it in just one day, which is very efficient. ”

In fact, it only took me a little over an hour...... Richard opened his mouth and said vaguely, "It's just a fluke." ”

"You're humble. "Okay, now that you've chosen, you can find time to move over, there are already some simple furniture in there that can meet the basic needs." If you want more, then you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

In normal times, as long as you are in Pompeii, you can live there, and during your absence, you will not be occupied by the rest of the people. Of course, if you leave Pompeio for too long, more than a year, the organization is entitled to repossess and redistribute your home. So, a friendly reminder is that if you don't want to lose your home, you should return to Pompeii at least once a year. ”

"Thank you, Wizard Inuova. ”

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. "Alright, I won't bother you, I'll leave first, Wizard Richard." ”

"Goodbye. ”

"Goodbye. ”

Inuokova strode towards the door, walked to the door, lowered her head nimbly, and disappeared outside.

Richard looked at it, cleaned up his room, and walked out to his chosen residence.
