After several grim-looking city guard commanders walked out of Frances's conference room, they bowed and saluted Raymond before hurrying away.

"My dear friend, welcome back!" said Grand Lord Frances, who stood behind the long table in the conference room, with a smile on his face, but his tired expression indicated that the meeting that had just taken place here must be very important.

"I'm in trouble," Raymond, who walked in directly, did not try to hide what happened to him. "Except for me, everyone else died in this ruins exploration. ”

A smile froze on Frances's face, and he screamed in surprise as he watched Raymond sit down. "Oh my God! How could this be! Jonas was the last time he had ever made a move!"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Raymond, who brought up the tea brought by the maid, closed his mouth and waited.

With a shocked expression, Frances continued to shout after the young maid closed the door to the conference room. "It doesn't make sense, Jonas has been exploring ruins for so many years, he won't enter ruins beyond his control, what the hell is going on!"

Some of the things that happened in the ruins, Raymond, who chose a part to tell them, dealt with the truth about Jonas's death appropriately, because the less people knew about the things that happened within the Pansy family, the better.

"The last one used a spell from the ruins," Raymond, frowning, told him about his injuries. "Not only was my protective force field broken, but even Hobson died because of me......"

"My dear friend, I am very pleased with your trust," Frances, whose shocked expression immediately interrupted Raymond's words when he heard this, and he sighed sadly. "Think of this place as if it were your own wizard's tower, and wait until your injuries heal before thinking about anything else. Poor Jonas, this is his last action......"

Frances, who was very embarrassed, also aroused the depression in Raymond's chest, and the conference room fell silent, and both of them fell into deep thought.

It was a long time before Frances finally came to her senses, and he looked directly at Raymond and opened his mouth. "Lord Raymond, what resources do you need, please don't see it!"

Raymond, who was a little hesitant when he heard this, was interested in the resources that the chip gave him that would help with recovery. He wasn't really sure if he would be able to collect it here.

"Dear friend, you don't need to have any worries!" said Frances, who saw the expression on her face, smiled. "Although this is a low-resource area, many resources are still available, so just let me know what you need. ”

Seeing this, Raymond no longer hesitated. Directly condensed a memory light ball, and named and quantity all the materials he needed at the moment. It's all directly typed into. Raymond also took some of the top hedron fragments from his waist and put them on the table, and pushed them to Frances together.

Frances, who directly grabbed the ball of light in her hand and began to check it, quickly became surprised with an expression on her face, and let out an exclamation at the end. "Oh my God, Lord Raymond. Your requirements for materials are really high!"

Tasting the unique fruit tea near Ram Castle, the tense nerves along the way were completely relaxed, and Raymond really felt the tiredness sigh. "yes, I've only heard a lot of the material. You need to bother. ”

"My dear friend, don't worry," Frances, who had slipped the ball of memory into her pocket, grabbed the shards of the sparkling hedron on the table in her hand and looked at them, and soon his eyes widened, staring at Raymond in amazement, and asked with some uncertainty. "This is a top-grade hedroder?"

Raymond, who nodded in acknowledgement, pointed to the shards of the hedrons and said. "It's a pity that it's all fragments, and I don't know if it's enough to pay for these materials. ”

Frances, who had selected two small pieces of top-grade hedrons, pushed the rest back with an envious expression on her face. "I'll try to buy as many materials as possible, and if you have a lot of potions to refine, just leave me some finished products. And the fragments of these two top hedrons, I will keep them as collector's items. ”

Seeing this, Raymond was no longer hypocritical, but thinking of the seriousness on the faces of the commanders of the city guards who had left here just now, Raymond couldn't help but be a little curious. "Frances, is there something wrong with you here, I see that the expressions of those commanders just now are very serious. ”

After putting away the shards, Frances recounted the troubles of Ram Castle during this time.

It turned out that there was a lake three days away, and everything was normal there, and it was still the source of fish resources in the entire Ram Castle, but since two weeks ago, there has not been a single fish that can be caught there, and a very rare jumping frog in the lake has shown abnormal breeding.

"These jumping frogs, which originally only enter the breeding period every three years, don't know if there is a problem there," Frances, whose face was full of surprise, and her expression became solemn. "Local fishermen claim that the number of these jumping frogs has suddenly skyrocketed, and that their size has also changed!"

"Jumping frogs?" Raymond was stunned, he still had some impression of this kind of small thing that occasionally appeared in the Pamir hills. "Aren't they not breeding until winter?"

The Great Lord Francis, who smiled bitterly, did not answer, but directly rang the bell in front of him.

Soon as the door to the conference room opened, Frances gave orders to the old butler who appeared at the door. "Show the samples that the city guards brought to Mistress Raymond. ”

And the samples that were quickly sent to Raymond really surprised him.

The cyan jumping frog, which was originally only the size of a palm, has now become a monster with a body size of more than 30 centimeters, and a large number of frog eggs have appeared in the body of the female jumping frog that has been dissected.

After being examined by Raymond one by one, a bad possibility appeared in Raymond's heart. "Where does the lake where the anomalous jumping frog lives flow through the water?"

Raymond's question surprised Frances, but he answered it immediately. "All the waste water that comes out of the Ram Castle goes into it, and there are no other rivers around this lake!" (To be continued.) )
