Chapter 36 Acceptance I
Richard first walked around the ground floor of the castle, looking at every room, and then stopped in the empty warehouse area, his eyes slowly skimming every corner of the storage area.
He then walked up to the second floor. The Akmunds, who were constantly silently following behind him, did not go upstairs, but scattered to various places on the ground floor of the castle on their own, serving as guards.
The few guards left by Gordon were concentrated above the second floor at the moment. These still loyal guards guard the most important areas of the castle and are ready to give up their lives. On the second floor, Richard walked into the old butler's room and saw the old butler, who was still bedridden and unable to move freely.
The crunch of knuckles came from Richard's clenched hands!
Seeing Richard, the old butler forcibly propped up his body, and the whole person was quietly trembling, and shouted in surprise: "Young Master Richard!
Richard came to the old butler's bedside and whispered, "I'm back, safe and sound, and I'm still on another plane." ”
The old butler nodded vigorously and said, "Before leaving, the master kept thinking about you. But I didn't expect it...... But you don't have to worry, the host just fell into a small trap and will definitely come back. ”
Richard quietly patted the old man's hand and said, "I know he can't die." Rest well, and since I'm back, leave it to me first. ”
The old butler suddenly remembered something, and took off a necklace from his neck, the end of which was tied with a golden key. He handed the key to Richard and said, "On the top floor of the castle, the master has left you something, and there is a gift from His Highness the Barbarian Mountain and Sea, which is also placed in the master's private area. This is the key to that area, but it must be soaked in your blood before using it. Otherwise, it would trigger an extremely powerful lightning trap that even the Sanctuary would not be able to resist. I was afraid that those people would rush into the master's **, so after putting the things sent by His Highness Mountains and Seas into the **, I sealed the area. ”
Richard took the key, left the old butler's room, and continued his tour of the upper floors of the castle. After quietly closing the door of the old butler's room, he took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, so that a wisp of sulfur quietly diffused in the air.
On the third floor, Richard met his siblings.
Winnington and Vinica are both good fire guards, and Daimei is already an eleventh level sorcerer, only one line weaker than Richard. However, Richard saw that Daimei was still very weak, and she even raised her neckline intentionally or unintentionally.
Richard frowned, reached out and pulled down Daimei's neckline, almost revealing her entire **. Under her collarbone, a shocking bruise could be seen.
Richard's eyes contracted, and he asked lightly, "Did they violate you?"
"No! not what you think. It's just ......" Daimei dodged Richard's gaze a little, and finally sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, I was too careless at the time, I was attacked and hit hard." As for the scars on the shoulders, they were just a fall and a bruise. It's humiliating, but ......"
"Where was it beaten?"
Dai Mei pointed to her abdomen helplessly and said, "Here." ”
Richard stretched out his hand and quietly pressed there, although Daimei did not make a sound, her eyebrows were visibly furrowed.
Richard didn't say anything, left Daimei's room, and continued upward. The fourth floor is Gordon's exclusive office area, and the usual core staff and subordinates are accessed by another staircase.
Fasqi kept following Richard, and when he got here, he stopped moving forward, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "It's not where I should be entering, so I'll wait for you here!"
Richard nodded and said to her, "It's fine." I'll come down to you in a moment. I think we should have a lot to talk about about the Earl. ”
The fourth floor is the office area, where Gordon's study, office, and war room are located. As before, after looking at each room, Richard continued upward. But at the end of the stairs is a locked gate.
Richard took the key and swiped it his wrist, and blood poured out and soaked the key. The key continued to suck Richard's blood in, and then began to emit blood-colored light.
Richard inserted the key into the lock hole in the door, and with a quiet twist, the lock opened, and then the door slid inward silently.
After stepping into the door, Richard saw the bones of ancient beasts sent by the mountains and seas in that open space, and also saw the heads of star beasts wrapped heavily. With just one glance, Richard knew that both were good sacrifices. The bones of the ancient beasts were exposed, emitting the smell of time, and the skull of the star beast in the package gave him a strong sense of danger. If this item is sent to the Eternal Dragon Palace, it will most likely be a sacrifice of the highest level.
In an instant, Richard had already made the decision to sacrifice these two things before returning to the Pharo plane. They were the most valuable things in the entire castle, and now, Richard felt that what he needed to do was to convert all his fortune into something that would bring immediate power. Sacrifices are only of true value when they are sacrificed.
He walked over to the huge gray package and recognized the texture of the magic fabric. Richard didn't rush to untie the rather familiar knot, but looked up and down, and sure enough, he saw the familiar handwriting left by the magic pen on the side. It was Su Helen's handwriting, but it was marked with the word 'careful'. It was just a word, but it made Richard look at it for a long time.
Eventually, Richard arrived at the burial ground of the Akmund family. The sky was still dark, blood-colored, with the smell of sulfur and the crater belching wisps of fiery smoke from time to time. Dark tombstones stand silently, silently telling the history of blood and fire.
Richard now knew that this was a space that only the recognized Akmund could enter. Otherwise, it is necessary to suppress and break the brand of the owner with pure force. And at this time, the only one who can enter the family cemetery is Richard himself. He raised his head and looked up at the volcano, his gaze falling on the top level of the cemetery. He still remembers that it was where his mother had booked.
And Gordon ...... This man, if he hadn't died on the Alternate Plane, would have been buried on this level one day.
Richard stood quietly, trying to banish Gordon from his heart, not at all ready to think about him. In Richard's mind, the Akmund family cemetery had nothing to do with him in the first place.
His gaze swept over every corner of the cemetery, determined to keep it undisturbed by any thugs and enemies. This has nothing to do with guarding Akmund, it's just because this is the place that my mother has booked, so I have to protect it.
Richard convinced himself with this.
After seeing the family cemetery, Richard had already toured every part of the castle. He finally returned to Gordon's war room and stood quietly in front of the large map of Norland.
It was an hour-long stop, and no one knew what Richard was thinking.
As night fell, Richard finally moved. He rang the bell to summon the attendants, and in an instant two attendants entered. Richard had seen them at Gordon's side, and knew that these two men were old men who had followed Gordon for many years, and their loyalty was unquestionable.
"Young Master Richard, what do you command?" asked an older attendant. These attendants are knowledgeable and possess good personal skills, effectively equivalent to the role of assistants who handle the daily chores of Gordon.
Richard groaned and said, "In our exclusive plane, there are now five knights stationed?"
"Yes, Master Richard. They are the Blood Paladin Sema, the Fighter Wald......" the squire said quickly.
Richard raised his hand to interrupt the attendant and said, "You don't need to tell me who they are, because there is no difference between them. Find a way to notify them and get them back to the floating island as quickly as possible. I know that every plane has portals to here, so if nothing happens, I should be able to see them by this time tomorrow, all of them!"
The attendant answered first, and then said, "However, Young Master Richard, they still need to guard their respective planes, and it may be inconvenient for them to come back......"
Richard interrupted the attendant again: "The situation on the floating island is already like this, why can't they come over? Tell them that when the Marquis de Gordon did not return, I was now in charge of all the family affairs, and they must come to me! In the future, I will visit them in person!"
"That's ...... Probably after a while, say a year or two, it might be more appropriate. The squire said with some concern. He tactfully pointed out that Richard's current strength may not be strong enough, and it is still a little short of a fire to protect Akmund instead of Gordon, at least it is difficult to deter Gordon's generals who will not bow to the second person.
Richard heard what he meant, smiled quietly, and said, "It's okay, let's go and deliver the news! Now, at least in a small battle, I won't be afraid of anyone." ”
The attendant had fulfilled his duty of persuasion, so he teleported the message to the Guò Plane Magic Array to the four exclusive planes.
And in each plane, the reactions of the five knights varied.
The Blood Paladin Semir was lazily napping on the terrace, the bright sunlight making her eyelids heavier and heavier. When she received Richard's message, she quickly scanned it and muttered, "It's that restless little guy again......!" Well, it's for the more restless guys!
She tossed the paper aside, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.
A soft breeze blew and blew the piece of paper, and I wanted to carry it into the distance. But a beautiful and slender hand suddenly caught it and plucked it from the wind.
