It is the product of the entanglement of pain and darkness, condensed to the extreme, and can only be produced in very rare circumstances. They are the favorite of many mages, who are skilled in illusion and psychic magic, preferring to trade their life savings for an Essence of Pain. A Spellcaster like Daimei wears one, increasing the power of all types of negative magic by at least half. This is the reason why the Essence of Pain is not inferior to the Spider Crystal.

**The source seems to be so old that it has produced three Pain Essences, the largest and oldest of which is almost twice as large as the smallest one. Together, these three Pain Essences are worth as much as four Spider Crystals. That alone is a great reward. And the bones of the Star Beast are priceless at all.

Richard carefully placed the three Pain Essences into the Sealed Box, and then looked around, feeling rather unfinished. The speed of the star chrysalis is quite slow at the moment, only sixty kilometers per hour, and it takes four or five days to make a round trip after transporting the bones to the turbulent land. Richard would never have stayed in the Black Valley for that long, not to mention that the Church of the God of Courage would fight back, and even the Iron Triangle Empire could produce unpredictable variables.

Io walked over at this time, he stretched out his head to look at the bottom of the pit, and immediately snorted a few times because of the strong smell, and then said with a bitter face: "This pool of ** liquid has been around for quite a few years, and it looks very valuable." If we can pack them all, we can sell at least one top-of-the-line offering, and maybe more, if you don't mind who the buyer is. These bricks are also good things, don't waste them. If you build a prison out of this, it's simply the best place to keep a mage! ”

"It's a pity that it's too late, I can't move it, so let's put it all here!"

The battle priest was quite strange, because Richard only had a slight regret for giving up such a huge fortune. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a pity!"

Looking at the Hall of Pain in front of him and the ** source liquid below, Io seemed to see at least two top-level sacrifices, which meant that he would become a level twenty-level priest. This is a long-standing disease of Iodo's heart, that is, no matter what he sees, he can't help but think of the sacrifice.

But Richard's next sentence reassured him a little: "It's okay, I'm just leaving them here for the time being." ”

The night was spent in a busy way, and the northern winter was unusually late, and when Richard finished meditating at seven o'clock, it was still dark outside the window, and he could not see the morning light for half the day. The Black Valley has been turned upside down, and overnight, the worker bees have dug hundreds of burrows up to 100 meters deep in different parts of the Black Valley, but they have not been able to find anything more valuable. So taking advantage of the unfading twilight, Richard left the Black Valley with fifty elite knights.

After they were gone, the thousands of worker bees left behind moved to complete their long-overdue mission of clearing out all the soulless prisoners. The worker bees were incredibly efficient, and in just ten minutes, they completed their task and flew in pieces back to the turbulent land.

When it was night again, a snow-white war horse galloped and rushed towards the Black Valley. On horseback sat a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, and his thick golden beard added a lot of momentum to him. When he reached the edge of the black valley, he was not in a hurry, turned over and dismounted, and walked all the way to the black valley. His steps were steady and steady, following the route Richard had taken all the way into the valley. He also saw the statue, the corpse of the supervising giant, and the remains of the ribs. All the villages and towns were silent, and the corpses of prisoners were strewn along the way. He crouched down next to a corpse, undressed it, and took a closer look at the wound underneath. The flesh and blood in this person's heart were blurred, as if they were forcibly cut into the chest by some sharp weapon, and the heart was crushed. He looked at several more corpses, and the wounds were all similar, all of them were heart-destroying, and the wounds on each corpse were quite similar.

He soon stopped looking, but jumped on his horse and continued to run towards the center of the Black Valley. When he saw the temple of pain that was already in ruins, he was stunned for a moment, and he could hardly believe his eyes! He blinked his eyes vigorously, and when he saw that everything in front of him was real, his eyes immediately lit up with a raging flame, and he snorted heavily, and then he rode his horse towards the ruins of the hall of pain.

At this moment, there are countless black bricks that have just been dismantled around the hall of pain, and there is ** liquid everywhere that is soaked and flowing everywhere, and the majestic hall of pain is only one-third of its original size. The man could barely believe what he saw in front of him, and abruptly stopped his horse.

It was a moment before he rode his horse into the ruins of the Temple of Pain, and then fell silent. In front of him, is the source of ** that has been completely dug up.

The middle-aged man suddenly turned over and dismounted, found an open space and knelt down, and then began to pray silently. A moment later, the clouds in the sky suddenly tumbled violently, and countless tiny golden lightning began to emerge from the depths of the thick clouds, and an incomparably majestic aura descended from the sky! The middle-aged man slowly stood up and opened his eyes, which had turned completely golden. He strode to the pit, leaned forward, looked down at the pit, and suddenly anger flashed on his face, and roared, "My star beast remains...... Richard, Richard, you dare to snatch the remains of my star beast!"

The middle-aged man trembled all over, staring at the empty source of ** at the bottom of the pit. But he was rapidly aging, his hair turning gray at a visible rate, and his skin wrinkled like a dry orange peel. In just a few minutes, it was the equivalent of decades for this man. The man had involuntarily shown fear, but the golden light in his eyes had not faded at all, and he was still staring at the empty black pool.

This is the consequence of using oneself as a carrier to inherit the will of the gods. Breaking the rules of the plane will inevitably bear the corresponding price.

The man seemed to struggle at last, but it was too late, and he could no longer stand, and plunged headlong into the pit. In the process of falling, the last words spat out by the majestic voice were: "What a useless thing!"

With a plop, the man's body did not enter the source of **. And the majestic will of the god of courage has returned to the kingdom of God.

At this moment, Richard has reached the border of the Iron Triangle Empire. After a day and a night, with only a few hours of rest on the way, this combination of speed and distance gave Richard a strange pleasure. A few dozen kilometers further, you will cross the border of the Iron Triangle Empire and enter the Crimson Principality. This border line was created from scratch and moved more than a dozen kilometers to the territory of the Iron Triangle Empire.

Richard slowed down the magic horse and said to the quicksand: "The star chrysalis should be about to reach the turbulent land now, and the harvest this time is indeed not small. However, the reaction of the Iron Triangle Empire was a little disappointing to me. ”

"You expect them to intercept you?" Quicksand asked.

"Yes, that's why I chose to walk from the ground, because that's what I was looking forward to. Richard nodded.

Quicksand suddenly laughed and said, "You've never done such a boring thing before. At that time, you were obviously very naïve, but you kept a straight face all day long, and carefully calculated every gold coin and every minute like the most terrible miser, for fear that you would waste even a little. You are also desperately taking responsibility for yourself, and then trying to fulfill every word you promised. Well, all in all, you're pretending to be mature!"

"Quicksand!" Richard only felt a slight heat on his face, glaring at this beautiful woman who ruthlessly exposed the truth about her past.

"What's going on, boy?" Quicksand looked defiant.

Richard snorted, putting the fiery words back in his stomach. The quicksand in the night is too terrifying a creature for the Bear-Headed Overseer Essence to deal with. Richard chose to find himself a staircase, and said kindly: "I am tempting to do this. Since the Iron Triangle Empire didn't send anyone to intercept me, so I tried to find out the essence of weakness, then I will not be polite in the future, and I might as well ask them more. ”

Quicksand suddenly said, "Don't you dare to intercept it?" ”

Then the earth began to tremble slightly, and then the tremors became more and more pronounced, and one after another knights appeared on the ridge in the distance, and then a triangular battle flag was raised high. The battle flag is a triangle with silver and gold rimmed, representing the direct blood of the imperial family.

Carrying the battle flag was a mighty young man, whose thick short beard could not hide his youthful face, and the war horse under his crotch was constantly digging the earth with its hooves, and it seemed that this fellow was a not very good-tempered fellow like his owner. This young man exudes a fierce temperament from head to toe, and is completely typical of a northern man.

When he saw Richard from afar, the young man immediately shouted, "Is that Richard?

Richard did not answer, but stopped his horse. Behind him, fifty elite knights silently lined up in a horizontal formation.

This in itself is equivalent to an answer, the young man immediately blew a long horn, and then rushed down the hill with the battle flag high, until he was less than a hundred meters away from Richard, he stopped his knights, ran towards Richard alone, and then stopped his war horse, stared at Richard, and said slowly: "My name is Balian, and I am the ninth prince of the Iron Triangle Empire. Of course, you can ignore the latter identity, but be sure to remember my name. ”

"Why?" asked Richard with a smile.

"Because today I'm not going to let you leave the Iron Triangle Empire! Either you'll step on my corpse and leave the Iron Triangle Empire!" the young man said categorically.

Richard asked lightly, "Is this ...... What does your father mean?"

"No, this is just my personal decision, and only the knights from my own territory are coming with me!I'm just letting you know that our royal family of the Iron Triangle Empire has been passed down for countless generations, and the blood of the brave still flows in our veins today!" Balian's voice grew louder and louder.
