"So, you don't have one more high-level spell slot!" Quicksand smiled, handing the stub to Richard. ing.

Richard took the fragment and could barely contain his excitement, he had never expected to see the second piece so soon. A single fragment from the Temple of the God of Courage was already a powerful magical equipment indispensable to his battles, and now with two fragments, the horse can validate the legend of the special abilities he bears. If the hinge can indeed produce new abilities in the future, then according to his assessment, it is equivalent to a quasi-artifact, and its value is immeasurable.

"Where did this come from?" asked Richard solemnly.

"Found in a rift in time at the Forward Base. Maybe it was originally drifting in the turbulence of time, and suddenly somehow encountered the shuttle forward base, and was swept into this plane. "Quicksand is very easy to say. But Richard knew that if it weren't for her, anyone else would know where the fragments were, and they wouldn't be able to take them out. The rift in time is the most dangerous trap in the world.

"We're so lucky!" sighed Richard.

Quicksand smiled and said, "I'm a god, and you're also on the radar of the Dragons of Eternity and Time, so we're not out of luck. Luck is also part of strength. ”

Richard spread the fragments on the table, took out the existing fragments, and laid the two fragments flat together. Before he could carefully study the method of convergence, as soon as the two fragments approached, they both began to shine with the light of unknown attributes, and they moved closer and overlapped on their own. The closer they got to the light, the brighter it became, and when they finally touched, Richard's eyes lit up with a blinding light that pierced his eyes involuntarily.

When he opened his eyes again, the two fragments in front of him had become a thin book, and the cover was a half-missing pattern, and only vaguely discernible lines resembling swirls could be distinguished, and he couldn't understand what it meant. When you open the cover, you can see that there are only two thick pages between the next two covers, the color is slightly yellow, much like a little old blank parchment, but the texture is more flexible and firm.

Tapping the page, Richard slowly injected his magic power, trying to cast a normal detection spell, and the use and new characteristics of it appeared in his consciousness.

When the two fragments are combined, an additional mana can be stored, and the magic level is also limited to level 6. That is to say, the book in Richard's hand can now store a total of three sixth-level magics! At least in the battle of the current level, three sixth-level magics are enough to turn the situation around, and Richard's side is equivalent to half a fourteenth-level great magician.

The Mensa family also had a large reserve of supplies in their forward base, which were undoubtedly valuable, but Richard could not enjoy them. Just like the forward base of the House of Akmund, this base, which has been exposed to the noses of the temple and the local lords, is simply unusable.

It won't be long before the Temple of Xerxes, which discovers that the soldiers stationed there are not making daily returns, will re-explore the area. Richard didn't have dozens of Bear Knights under his command, and although the overall strength of the team had increased again, it would not be arrogant enough to want to deal with a complete battle priesthood.

Richard collected all the magic materials and redressed all the fighters with the equipment stored in the base. Unfortunately, the barbarians were too large to have armor suitable for them, so they took some simple measures, covering them with a deck on each of their chests and back, and twisting them together with special leather cords. After re-equipping, Richard himself estimated that the combat effectiveness of the entire army had increased by at least one and a half as a result.

Another surprise was that all the captured warriors joined Richard's ranks. Cass used a similar practice to quicksand, coercing the soldiers into praying during a seven-day ritual, but instead of believing in the gods, they cursed and spit on the idol of Xerxes at regular times. Seven days of continuous curses have shrouded these soldiers in a layer of imperceptible black qi.

Blasphemers, that's what these soldiers are called today. The black aura of their bodies can be seen by the clergy of Xerxes, as well as by the powerful priests. Therefore, as long as these soldiers affiliated with the temple dare to go back, they will be burned at the stake once they are discovered, which is a punishment. If someone takes the initiative to confess to the temple and confess what happened, then they will also be burned at the stake, which is called salvation.

Xerxes is a powerful deity who does not tolerate the slightest blasphemy in the face of faith, and repentance cannot counteract original sin.

All Richard could do about Cass's 'contribution' was to shake his head. He gave the order, and the Fallen Priest did his job perfectly, tying everyone to Richard's chariot, except for the two Templars. Their faith is much stronger than that of Cass, a priest, and when they wake up, they struggle to resist, seeing an opportunity to die with the blasphemer. Eventually, Richard had to order the execution of two Templars.

After taking what he could take with him, Richard led his team out of the Mensa base for the Redwood Kingdom, where it was time to complete the deal with Duke Wolf.

At the same time, Richard was ready to see the right moment to lure Peter Schumpeter's Bear Knights to the south of the Bloodstained Lands, where they would fight to the death. The Bear Riders are so special that by all indications they have not been able to blend in or hide in the dimensional order. Therefore, the process of their crossing the bloodstained land is a process of fierce battles with all sides, and their strength is constantly weakening.

Richard now has the identity of the pioneer knight as a cover, but he doesn't mind using the power of his own plane to easily clear out the bear knights. He knew very well the value of the Bear Knight, and every time he killed one, it was a heavy blow to the Schumpeter family. Richard was not afraid that they would not go to the south of the bloodstained land, because he would be active in the south at that time, and such a big bait would not worry that they would not be hooked.

In fact, deep down in Richard's heart, he always felt that there was no point in fighting with the Schumpeter family. But the reality is that he can't choose, so he can only passively accept it. It seems that since the moment he returned to the family, there has always been a steady stream of killings. Even when he ran to an unfamiliar plane to open up a territory, there were people chasing him from Norland.

While Richard was helpless, there was also a silent anger burning in his chest.

The silent procession followed the eastern edge of the Bloodstained Lands, heading east and south, gradually heading towards its destination.

During the journey, Quicksand finally digested most of the power obtained from the base, and was promoted to the tenth level of the gods. Although level 10 only allowed her to cast more fifth-order divine arts, her title was promoted to the second order. The title 'Daybreak' brings to Quicksand the ability to decipher and borrow the divine power of other gods.

At the first level, quicksand can strip off a small amount of divine power, while at the second order, the amount of divine power that quicksand can peel off is correspondingly increased, and it can be driven by its own divine power. In other words, quicksand can now use other gods' magic scrolls or god-given items without any changes. The price is only a small amount of his own divine power.

It's a terrifying ability. Richard immediately gave an evaluation in his heart, the gods of Eternity and the Dragon of Time are really terrifying, they can not only borrow his divine power, but also be able to analyze divine power, but they don't know what kind of ability comes with the title of 'Dawn' of the Great Priest of Fanlin.

However, when Richard commented on Quicksand, he forgot to think about his own intelligence, true talent, and brood.

Just as Richard was about to arrive at his destination, a rare battle was taking place in the Bloodstained Lands.
