553 arrived

Bang, bang, bang......

The cannon salute fired from the city walls formed a dazzling fireworks in the air, announcing the warm welcome of Raven Castle to Raymond's arrival.

Built on a vast desert plain, the Red Crow's Castle was as bright as a bright ruby on a green earth, but the cold purple-red hue after Raymond approached made the walled city oppressive and solemn.

The knights riding the six-legged demon bull lined up along the main road and extended out of the city, and these city guards in full armor made the welcome ceremony more solemn, but also faintly showed off.

The Red Raven Castle, the largest human city in the entire Corner of Despair, has nearly 100,000 permanent residents, and the wizard tower in the center of the city, which is 100 meters high, can be seen without approaching.

Before the convoy entered the city, Raymond, with the assistance of the chip, superimposed the "Eagle Eye Technique" and saw the old woman sitting on the terrace in the middle of the wizard tower.

On the spacious balcony, the costumed Witch Viara had a graceful and luxurious demeanor, and while Raymond was looking at her, Witch Viara also seemed to sense Raymond's gaze, her face showed a smile, and she raised the wine glass in her hand to make a gesture.

Seeing this, Raymond withdrew his gaze, and an inquiring expression appeared on his face.

"Lord Raymond, you are very pleased to have arrived, Lord Viara," Reginord, who had just passed through the gates but was half a position behind, approached amid the roar of the salute. "She wants you to be able to go straight to her wizard's tower. ”

Raymond, who nodded in agreement, entered the Crow Castle under the guidance of Reginord, but the slight squirming in his chest made a strange smile appear on Raymond's face.

The palm of his hand was slightly raised, but Raymond's little finger inadvertently flicked at the bulging position of his chest, accompanied by a slight cry of pain. The little drum that no longer tried to move finally calmed down.

Raymond, who had a smile on his face, removed the hand on his chest, but with the slight movement of his lips, Anita, the porcelain girl hidden in the pocket of his chest underwear, echoed his voice in his ears. "I'll go see Witch Viara in a moment, and if you dare to move again, I'll stuff you in my shoes later!"

Anita, the porcelain girl in a velvet pocket, clutched the swollen and painful bulge on her head, and her little mouth deflated, but soon she yawned boredly. Lay down again and fell asleep.

Raymond, who felt the temperature in his chest begin to decrease, shook his head and smiled wryly, turning his gaze to the wizarding tower that was getting closer and closer.

The Fuchsia Wizard's Tower, located in the middle of the square in the very center of the Red Raven Castle, is lined with knights on both sides of the road. The square where the Wizard's Tower is located had already been cleared and placed under martial law, and Raymond was slightly surprised by such a grand welcome.

Viara Witch, the supreme ruler of the entire Horn of Despair. Under the introduction of his disciple Reginod. She is not a single native wizard, Witch Viara emerged from the glaciers of the far east of the Cape of Despair more than four hundred years ago and slew the master of the wizarding tower of the former Rook Castle before becoming the ruler of the entire Horn of Despair.

But once she had secured her reign, she took a different approach from the harsh rule of the former Lord of the Crow Castle, and began to search for intelligent races with wizarding potential throughout the Horn of Despair. The cultivation and teaching of the best of them eventually led to the formation of the present situation of great unity.

But I don't know if it is due to the environment and resource problems here, under the cultivation of Witch Viara at any cost, none of the disciples she accepts can break through to the realm of second-level wizards. One of the most promising disciples also fell when he attacked the second-level wizard more than a hundred years ago.

Thinking back to the information he had received from Reginord about the Witch of Viara, Raymond jumped off his mount and walked slowly along the red-carpeted passage to the massive Wizard Tower.

"Welcome, Honorable Lord Raymond!"

As Raymond moved forward, the city guards and maids who stood on both sides of the steps of the wizard's tower as if in a formation bowed down to Raymond one by one, and let out a neat and loud greeting sound.

And the witch Viara, who was standing at the door of the wizard's tower with a smile on her face, slowly greeted Raymond after he stepped on the last step.

"Lord Raymond, welcome to the Crow Castle," the smiling Witch Viara bowed slightly. "I've been waiting so long to finally see you in person!"

"Lord Viara, you're so polite!" Raymond, who touched his chest with one hand and greeted with wizard etiquette, his pupils flashed with small red dots, and he gave instructions to the chip. "Detect Viara's state!"

"Task Established, Start Analyzing ......"

With the sound of the chip's stereotyped voice, Viara Witch, who greeted Raymond into the Wizard Tower with a smile, led Raymond directly through the hall on the first floor of the Wizard Tower to the reception room.

A beautiful and shy maid, a majestic and alert squire, but in this wizard's tower that exuded an ancient and decaying aura, Raymond felt a bitter cold aura that made his brow furrow even after he sat down.

Witch Viara, who had goosebumps but a very peaceful expression, looked very excited, and after they were seated, she looked Raymond up and down with inquiring eyes, and her face appeared with joy.

"Lord Viara, I deeply regret the disappearance of the porcelain people," Raymond started talking before the witch Viara could speak. "Because I am very unfamiliar with this race, I didn't check it for a while, so it caused such consequences......"

"No need to apologize, it's just a trivial matter," Witch Viara, who immediately interrupted Raymond's words, showed a sadness in her eyes. "The resources produced by the porcelain man are only for Sabina's promotion, but unfortunately she still hasn't been able to succeed, the poor child ......"

I don't know if it was to comfort Raymond or if she was originally a talkative person, but the witch Viara then explained the reason for the persecution of the porcelain people.

Because the Horn of Despair belongs to a closed area, many of the materials needed by wizards to advance to level 2 cannot be obtained here, so Witch Viara has to use the bitter water produced by the porcelain people as a consumable in order for Sabina to impact the promotion of second-level wizards.

However, the witch Viara, who entrusted the task of collecting the bitter water to Sabina, did not expect that she had carried out severe persecution of the porcelain race in order to obtain a large amount of bitter water, and almost exterminated the genocide in order to obtain the method of refining the bitter water.

But fortunately, the search team led by Reginord finally saved this last porcelain village because of Raymond, and did not lead to the tragedy of genocide.

"It's a pity that I tried to prepare for Sabina for ten years and finally failed, and this child who made a big mistake also paid the price with her life," said the apologetic Witch Viara, although there was a sadness in her eyes, her smile was still very gentle. "The porcelain people will no longer be affected, so it doesn't matter if they are missing or not. ”

Raymond, who bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, wondered if there was a delusion in the road, but in the apologetic words of the witch Viara, there seemed to be indifference, a kind of indifference that came from the heart of not being interested in everything!

Casual chit-chat, this Viara witch, who is at least five hundred years old, is not only very talkative, but also willing to answer all of Raymond's questions.

According to the chip's investigation of Viara Witch, Raymond was surprised to find that she was actually a wizard with a spatial defense force field on the surface of her body, so under Raymond's very reckless inquiry, he realized that Viara Witch was actually a wizard with a family inheritance of spatial attributes!

So the conversation unwittingly turned to the discussion of spells, and Witch Viara honestly told Raymond that she not only had a deep study of spatial type spells, but was also a wizard who was proficient in various runes...... (To be continued......)
