After several days of reading and meditating, Richard found it boring, so he decided to go out for a walk and connect the legendary city depicted in the text with reality. So, when his half-brother Walling came to invite him to visit the Temple of the Eternal Dragon, Richard immediately agreed.

However, the outing soon turned into a bloodstained conspiracy. Wallin colludes with Raymond of the Joseph family to kill Richard. Fortunately, Count Elliejie and Count Goliath of the House of Akmund happened to pass by and saved Richard.

That night, the Akmunds held a large trial and put Wallin to death. and publicly declared Richard as a core member. After that, the boy found that people looked at him with more envy and jealousy, and less contempt and hostility.

Richard didn't stay in Faust for long, and after making a sacrifice to the dragon of eternity and time, the boy was urged to embark on a journey to the Alien Plane. Before leaving, Gordon also asks him to choose a young girl with Akmund blood as a companion.

Richard had asked Reilly for advice on the matter, and had told him what he had thought.

“...... In other words, the Marquis of Gordon has asked you to marry a well-blooded Akmund girl, and you yourself don't want to have such a close connection with this family?" Although Richard had known about Richard's dislike of Gordon, Reilly did not expect him to reject his own family because of this.

"Yes. ”

Reilly thought for a moment and said, "My suggestion is to choose Count Elliejie. ”

"What?" Richard exclaimed, then smiled wryly, "This...... The Count won't agree, will he?"

"In that case, you can turn down other women as a matter of course. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, you're not qualified to say no to Gordon right now. ”

Richard gritted his teeth and finally decided to accept Reilly's opinion.

Surprisingly, Gordon expressed great support for Richard's choice. However, Count Ellije's acquisition of the territory from the Marquis of Neo coincided with a riot, so she left Faust two days ago, which also made Richard breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Gordon said that Richard had multiple options and urged him to choose one more, Richard firmly refused.

The next morning, Richard and the others left the floating island of the Akmund family. This time it was not Mordred who escorted him, but the dragon mage Lina. It was a tall woman with a bright look and sexy lips. She wore a crimson mage robe, and with her long flaming hair, she could be said to complement each other.

This time, he was accompanied by four knights in suit and a squad of hussars.

In the plaza in front of the Teleportation Temple, Richard meets his new companion: the Eternal Dragon's Divine Servant, Quicksand, known as Dawnbreaker. Her means of transportation is a carriage with a magic circle attached to it to block sound.

Due to time constraints, the first communication between Richard and Quicksand could only take place on the road. The girl had wanted to have a one-man conversation with Richard, but at the latter's insistence, Reilly sat in the carriage.

Quicksand sat across from Richard and Reilly, with pale blonde hair and eyebrows, and a mysterious aura all over her. The center of the girl's eyebrows had an intricate pale gold pattern, and both Richard and Reilly could tell that it was a magic pattern structure.

"My name is Quicksand, and I'm the Divine Favor and Priest of the Eternal Dragon, and I'm currently level eight. As soon as he got into the car, Quicksand introduced himself: "In addition to the Eternal Dragon's divine arts, I have also mastered a lot of general divine arts. This is my weapon, the Book of Time. As she spoke, she took out a thick book and showed it to Richard. Quicksand then took out another map and opened it in front of Richard and Reilly. This is a hand-drawn map of the port of Mokvander and its surrounding seas, with hundreds of islands scattered across a vast expanse of water.

Quicksand pointed to an island that had clearly deviated from its normal course and said, "I heard that Marquis Gordon has built a stronghold in the target plane, but he hasn't had time to build a portal yet. This is the position that Teacher Fan Lin chose for us, and no one knows about its existence yet. The island has large enough plains and forests, as well as the necessary deep-water harbor, and is not far from the Norland mainland. So we can build the portal on this. ”

Richard nodded, remembering the location of the island.

Reilly looked at the quicksand and asked, "Don't you know that this sea area is now occupied by elemental creatures?" The small island that the girl pointed out was very close to his base camp, so the water element of Reilly often cruissed around to prevent anyone from occupying the land.

"Under the protection of the dragon mage, we can at least land safely. After that, elemental beings will instead become our umbrella. Quicksand smiled faintly and said.

Reilly nodded in agreement. Lina is a great mage, and the ninth-level water elemental and twelfth-level water elemental warriors can't stop her at all.

Quicksand put away the map, took out another dark green crystal and handed it to Richard, and said, "This life crystal can temporarily stabilize the seed so that you don't have to carry it with you." Just put it in the carriage on this stretch of the road. ”

By seed, she was referring to an egg that Richard had received during the sacrifice, and it was the main reason why he was in a hurry to leave his plane. The Grand Priest of the Eternal Dragon Temple, Vanlin, once said, "The seed must not be allowed to hatch in Norland. ”

Seeing that Richard had put away the crystal, quicksand stopped talking. The boy didn't bother her, but took out a book and read it.

Reilly glanced at the book, then said, "The history of the Silver Moon Elves, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing? ”

Quicksand also said, "Or you can see what build works for me first, which is important for future battles." ”

"Build?" Richard was surprised, he looked at the center of quicksand's eyebrows and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this one on your head is a fourth-order build, right?"

"But I only have one build on me. ”

Richard laughed and said, "One fourth-order construct is not enough, can you carry more?"

Quicksand nodded. Looking at her serious and serious eyes, Richard was shocked. For a human below level ten, it was very proud to be able to carry a third-order structure, so he didn't think that quicksand could carry more structures.

"Well, take offense. ”

Quicksand said lightly: "This is not an offense, you don't have to worry about anything." If you can make a build that works for me, I'll get you to get a tattoo right on your body. ”

Hearing her words, both Richard and Reilly were a little surprised. If you draw the costume directly on your body, the boy and the girl will inevitably have to be honest with each other, but quicksand doesn't mind, and Richard doesn't think much about it.

A scouting technique was thrown, and Richard and Reilly were even more surprised!

The girl's limbs, chest, and lower abdomen all showed strong magical fluctuations, and the two constructors immediately judged that she could add another less demanding fourth-order construct!

"How?"

Richard rubbed his head and said with a wry smile: "It's a bit beyond my ability, so think about it." ”

"It's okay, there's still a lot of time, you can think about it slowly. With that, Quicksand slowly closed his eyes again.

More than ten hours later, the team arrived at the death training camp of the Akmund family. Richard came here to pick a soul guard, which was one of the resources that the family provided to the core figures.

Under the effect of the contract, the soul guard will be bound to the master, and if he has the idea of betrayal, he will be obliterated by the power of the contract hidden in the soul. In addition, if Richard's soul is attacked, the guards can also share the damage for him, increasing Richard's resistance in disguise. However, if the Soul Guard had been attacked in a similar way, Richard would not have been hurt by it.

The contract binds the fate of the soul guardian and the master's destiny completely, so they are the most loyal guardians. However, the number of soul contract scrolls is very small. By far the biggest source of this stuff is the bounty of the Eternal and Time Dragons. However, the Eternal Dragon's divine gift has a lot of randomness, and it takes a lot of luck to get such a scroll.

So, when Richard took out a soul contract scroll, even Quicksand was slightly taken aback.
