Maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, maybe more.

The large pile of sand crystals piled up in front of them made the girl Becky and Krystal stunned for a long time before they slowly approached, and then pounced on them as if they were about to take a sand bath.

And Raymond, who also felt incredible, squatted down and picked up a handful of sand crystals, and while sending them to his eyes for careful observation, he also let them spill from between his fingers.

And Shaliman, who was startled by the girls Becky and Crystelle, seemed to be extremely afraid of an existence like them, and there was unconcealable fear and panic in his single eyes.

It was only as Raymond began to examine the sand crystals in his hand that he found that the energy concentration contained in these sand crystals and the purity of their own were far inferior to the sand crystals collected from the body of the one-pupil sand man before.

It's as if the sand crystal in front of me only has the shape and color of the sand crystal, but the effect has been weakened a lot.

And when Raymond made a preliminary judgment, Crystal who came out of the pile of sand crystals in front of him was disappointed, and he glanced at him fiercely and returned the rusty badge in anger.

And Becky, the girl who came out of the pile of sand crystals, was full of confusion and pinched a grain of sand crystal from the tip of her left finger and sent it to Raymond.

Raymond, who took over the sand crystal for a detailed examination, found that the sand crystal given by the girl Becky was obtained from the body of the one-pupil sand man before, and the energy concentration contained in it was nearly a hundred times different from the sand crystal in front of him.

Becky, a palm-sized girl, sighed in disappointment as she looked at the pile of sand crystals piled up in front of her, but when she saw the huge Shariman and the few one-eyed sandmen it had just shaped. His pupils lit up, and he pointed to the sand people with one eye and asked if he could collect sand crystals from them!

Although these one-eyed sandmen were created by Shaliman, it was very inappropriate to act in front of them.

So after making the girl Becky wait a bit. He took the grain of sand crystal in his hand and opened his mouth at Shaliman. "This is the sand crystals in the body of some one-pupiled sand that I encountered on the outskirts of the Tarigan Desert, although this pile looks similar, but the effect is very different, so can you send me one that you just shaped for examination?"

Shaliman, who didn't think about it, immediately promised, but although the number of sand crystals that the girl Becky obtained from the body of the one-eyed sand man was as high as dozens of grains, they were almost the same as those piled up in front of her, and they seemed to be crystal clear and extremely gorgeous. But only in vain.

Disappointed, the girl Becky lost interest in the pile of sand crystals, but after noticing Shaliman's flickering and evasive expression, a dodge appeared beside it. Shaliman, who was caught off guard, was so frightened that he hid in the yellow sand, and then he returned to Raymond's side speechlessly, jumped on his shoulder and stopped moving.

It is unknown why Shariman is afraid of the girl Becky, but he speculates about the difference between the two sand crystals. However, I feel that there are many reasons and further verification is needed. Therefore, after collecting these 'inferior' sand crystals, he will shout out the Shariman who has escaped into the yellow sand.

Faced with Shaliman, eager to get out of here, Raymond asks about all the details of his life here, and the situation of the ancient wizards who left him here.

And Shaliman, who was extremely afraid of the girl Becky, although he did not dare to approach Raymond again, but after making sure that the girl Becky was not hostile, he made his body shrink and led Raymond to his lair.

Because it doesn't know what happened before it became sane. So after years of living here, Shariman realized that he was living in a huge prison.

"I found myself after being in captivity. I began to leave the temple for a long time to find a way out, but I have never been able to break through the barrier and get out, so I began to shape ordinary one-eyed sandmen and pin my hopes on them......"

Speaking of this, Shariman became angry in vain, turned his head and swung his right fist, shattering the few one-eyed sandmen who had just been shaped behind him, turning them into ordinary grains of sand and merging into the yellow sand.

Such a scene made the girl Becky sitting on his shoulder stunned for a moment, and then a flash appeared near the shattered one-pupil sandman, but the sand crystal in the one-pupil sandman that had been shattered had already blended into the environment and could not be found at all.

Raymond's attention, however, was drawn to the 'temple' that Shariman was talking about, and asked for details.

But Shaliman, who was in a very depressed mood, did not explain in detail, but sped up and led Raymond to the location of the temple.

The temple, which was supposed to be located in the center of the Tarigan Desert, was greatly disappointed by Shaliman's opening.

Hidden inside a sand dune, this temple would have been a tiny sand cave if it weren't for the cyan stone slabs that were the main material!

It's just that the entrance to this temple is written in ancient Torrean script, and after pushing open the thick stone door and entering it, the space in front of him is only a few meters long and wide, but the height is more than thirty meters, as if it is a patio, and Raymond has an indescribable suffocation.

And Shaliman, who entered the corner inside, sat straight on the clean stone slab, looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "This was here when I came to my senses, but it wasn't until I comprehended the meaning of these runes that I opened the originally closed door and walked out of the ......."

Raymond, who looked up with Shaliman, found that there was an extremely complicated rune carved on the ceiling, and on the edge of this rune there was a sign that looked like a family emblem.

Raymond, who had released his senses to probe the 'temple' of less than fifty square meters, quickly frowned.

Because in the seemingly empty room, the walls are engraved with a large number of ancient Torrean characters, as well as various runes, and you can also sense a faint but continuous energy surge around you.

The extremely faint energy surge was difficult to detect, but after Raymond sensed this energy surge, he couldn't help but start probing, wanting to find the trajectory and source of this energy surge.

But Shariman, who was sitting on the ground, shouted when he noticed his actions. "Don't! don't try to probe the trajectory of that surge of energy......"

It's just that the speed of Raymond's perception and detection is far faster than the speed at which Shariman speaks, and before it can finish speaking, Raymond has already detected the trajectory of this energy, and found its source, which is actually the talisman array on the ceiling!

Raymond, who raised his head, stared at the extremely complicated rune array on the ceiling, trying to find out the reason, but immediately felt that the rune array appeared trembling Raymond, only to hear a scream from the girl Becky in his ears, and then found that the rune painted on the ceiling in his vision was distorted and deformed as a whole, and his vision was blurred in vain!

Raymond, who was stunned, even though he retracted his mind, but the girl Becky, who was sitting on his shoulder, had turned into a cloud of green smoke at this time, escaped into the storage ring and disappeared.

Shaliman, who was sitting on the floor in the corner, jumped up and appeared above Raymond, as if trying to cut off his vision from the rune, instantly stretching and flattening its body, pressing its limbs against the wall as if it were a sand shield completely obscuring his gaze, and shouted at him in fear with his face down. "Get out of here! Get out of trouble!"

Raymond, who had never heard Shariman say such a change before, couldn't help but turn his gaze to the thick stone door, but as if some kind of prohibition had been triggered, the heavy stone door, which was originally extremely difficult to push, was quietly closing!

Raymond, who didn't have time to leave, didn't move, and when the last glimmer of light disappeared in the crack of the stone gate, the inexplicable darkness suddenly came...... (To be continued......)
