The carriage slowly stopped in front of the group. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ron jumped out of the carriage, and Richard stepped out of the carriage.

Ron, who got out of the carriage, glanced at the people in front of him, and soon he found that except for the blonde young man at the front, who was like a normal person, most of the gray-robed eyes behind him were unfocused, and their faces were blank, standing there blankly.

Even when I saw Richard get out of the car, I didn't react much.

If it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, it would be no different from a humanoid puppet.

However, even though these people looked sluggish, Ron smelled a strong smell of blood and a strong stench of malice from them.

He knew that it was the smell that had killed many living beings.

After all, Ron also has a lot of this smell on his body, but the concentration is much lighter than these people.

Watching the two get out of the carriage, the blonde young man in front of him immediately strode up to Richard's side and said with a respectful expression.

"Teacher, you're finally here. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nodding slightly, Richard also showed a smile on his face and said gently.

"Well, Skull, have you been attacked by the Burning Remnants lately? ”

"No need teacher. The young man named Schull shook his head. "My experiments just happened to have progressed a little bit some time ago, and I was able to create some pure-blooded alien creatures in large numbers, and with the help of Lord Blooms, those remnants are no longer a problem. ”

As if hearing some important information in his words, Richard paused slightly, and then showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Is that the experiment you've been working on?"

"Yes, it's just that it's been the last few days, and I haven't had time to tell you yet. Speaking of experiments, Skull said with a confident look on his face. "Although the test subjects still have some serious blood rejection phenomena, which will cause the container to collapse quickly, I believe that the direction will not be wrong. ”

"yes, that's not bad. Richard took a deep breath and nodded with some sighs. "I still remember that when you first signed a formal contract with Fistrier, you suddenly said that you wanted to study things in the bloodline, and at that time I strongly objected, after all, our kind of wizards have great flaws in the inheritance, I didn't expect you to really succeed today, although it is only a little, but it is also very rare... If that experiment were to break through in the future, I think you'd be the second wizard to completely break free from the Decay. ”

"Teacher," Schull said, looking up, solemnly. "Even if I do get out of the decay in the future, I will still be your student no matter what. ”

"Yes, that's right. Richard looked at the young man in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said. "Okay, since your experiment has progressed, and there is no problem on the remnants' side, then I believe that nothing has happened in the past two days, wait and be my deputy, I may not have much time left. ”

Scour frowned, stared at the silver mark on Richard's forehead, and said in a deep voice.

"Teacher, is it serious? Could it be that the purity of the star-streaked dust is not enough?"

"No, there is no problem with the purity of the dust. Richard gently touched the marks on his forehead, and his gentle voice turned cold. "It's the guy I met in that ruins. ”

Recalled by Richard, Scour recalled the scene at that time, and his face was faintly ugly.

"yes, your body..."

At that time, although he was outside the ruins as a receptionist, he also witnessed the last horrific scene.

That terrible giant almost completely engulfed Richard, and you can imagine how powerful it is.

Glancing at his student's face, Richard smiled comfortingly.

"Don't worry, although I don't have a lot of time, it's not that I haven't found a way to deal with it, it's just that the process is a little dangerous, and the success of this experiment is also a very important key, and I don't want anything to go wrong. ”

Listening to Richard's words, Scour emphasized.

"I understand the teacher. ”

"Well, take me to see the materials first. ”

Hearing Richard's command, Scour whispered.

"Okay, please come with me. ”

As he led the way, the others, including Ron behind Richard, also walked towards the ancient tree.

As for the conversation between the two, Ron did confirm his previous guesses.

Richard does have a very serious sequelae, but it seems that in addition to his own knowledge, only Ron, who smells the strong fishy smell on his body, knows about it.

Faintly, he felt that this special sense of smell seemed to be the ability brought by the witch's blood.

It's just that compared to other similar abilities such as absorbing memories and absorbing hallucinations to increase physical fitness, it's not very obvious.

Thinking of this, Ron, who was following behind Richard, unconsciously raised his head and squinted slightly at the strange-looking ancient tree not far away.

'If this ability is spoken, then there must be something unusual in this tree, something that even Richard, a wizard, can't feel...'

Thinking lightly about the strange voice he had just heard, a group of people entered the ancient tree.

The middle of the huge tree is hollowed out, and the top of the inner wall of the tree is inlaid with a huge stone block in the shape of blue crystal, which is used for lighting.

On all sides, there are oil paintings used to decorate, and the floor is an unknown carpet of animal skins, which is very soft to step on.

In addition, there are many rope ladders made of vines around the tree wall, and at the end of the rope ladder is a circular passage, which leads in all directions and I don't know where it leads.

Ron looked inside the ancient tree, and he felt that it had a lot of similarities with the treehouse in the Blade Forest.

They all seem to have been carved out using the same technology, except that this place looks much rougher and rudimentary than the treehouses in the Blade Forest.

As soon as the gray-robed men entered the ancient tree, they automatically entered the passage and disappeared. After a few words with Richard, Scol also walked into a passageway.

At this time, in the entire ancient tree hall, only Ron and Richard were left.

Looking at Ron, who was standing behind him, Richard commanded lightly.

"We will stay here for fifteen days from today, there is a guest room over there, you can find a room to live in by yourself, don't worry about food, however, try not to go too far except around the ancient tree, if you want to practice potions experiments, there are also laboratories and libraries here, we will leave in fifteen days, don't make any more trouble during this period, otherwise, you don't want to know what the consequences are." ”

"I see, teacher. Ron whispered.

"Hmm. ”

Glancing at him again, Richard walked into the passage where Scol had just left.

After feeling the fishy smell on Richard's body completely disappear, Ron looked at the many passages on the tree wall, thought about it, and walked towards the passage indicated by Richard.

The wooden passage is unadorned, and the top of the head is inlaid with blue illuminated crystals at intervals.

However, the light is very weak, and the entire passage appears to be very dark.

After walking some distance, Ron saw a number of wooden doors on the left wall.

He opened a wooden door, but inside was a simple room.

Beds, tables and chairs are laid out inside, and the beds are neatly arranged with futons, which seem to have been prepared in advance.

After thinking about it, Ron closed the wooden door, and then he walked over to the table, reaching out and gently caressing the table.

'Squeak...'

A thin layer of wood chips fell down his palm to the ground, and a small 'hiss' sound appeared in his ears at the same time, while the other sounds quickly faded away.

Listening to the strange sound that gradually amplified in his ears, a blood-red halo slowly appeared in Ron's eyes.

"Sure enough, it appeared again..."

After a pause, the red halo in his eyes instantly spread, and after a while, his body was covered with hideous lines.

These lines are dense and criss-crossed, like slender red ropes that completely wrap around Ron's entire body.

And on his forehead, there is a crimson vertical mark, like a half-open eye.

Trying to feel the special force field around him, Ron narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, he reached out and grabbed it in his left direction.

'Smack!!'

"Ah!!!h

A high-pitched screeching sound appeared directly in his grip, and Ron felt a tremendous force coming from his palm, as if he wanted to break free of his palm and escape.
