557 waiting

In the spacious and gloomy library, two magic lamps were placed at either end of the long table, emitting a bright yellow light.

Raymond, sitting on a bench, was holding a thick book in his hand and was copying the contents through a chip.

Although the library of the Rook Castle is very large, many of the bookshelves inside are empty, and it is only because of the regular cleaning and care that there is no dust.

Genealogy, Personal Biography, City Archives, Business Statistics......

In the library, which has a collection of just over 200 books, more than ninety percent of the books are not very interesting for reading, and many of the books are bound with animal skins made of nitrate, and there is obviously no special book-making tools.

Many genealogies and biographies have not been consulted for many years, and the hides are sticky and need to be carefully handled before they can be opened.

But for Raymond, he only needs to browse these books to copy, so the contents of all the books here have been recorded by the chip, waiting for the chip to sort out and synthesize the information.

The library, which had been occupied by the witch Viara for hundreds of years, was not taken much seriously by her, but after Raymond recorded all the contents of the book, he still obtained some useful information through chip retrieval and sorting.

The wizarding tower, built in the center of the Crow Castle in the eastern Great Plains of the Cape of Despair, is more than 5,000 years old, and it is impossible to determine the exact date of its construction according to the time, because the wizards who first came to rule here were not born in the country.

And the wizards who occupy this wizard tower, whether they are born natives or outsiders, will only have one offspring, and the wizards who appear throughout the Horn of Despair, even if there are descendants. None of them can advance to become a second-level wizard here.

Comparing all the maps, the terrain of the entire Cape of Despair has changed over thousands of years, and its area and edges have not changed.

The Horn of Despair without the existence of the ocean, except for the western part of the abyss, the other three directions eventually entered a state of spatial nothingness, and the high-intensity spatial turbulence formed a fault-like shield, which could not be crossed at all.

In the western abyss, because of the sluggish force field in the center of the abyss and the group of thunderbirds, it became an act of death to want to fly across the abyss and leave the horn of despair.

The "cage" mentioned by the witch Viara before, Raymond finally found the answer through the books in the library. It's like a vast forgotten testing ground, where the creatures here are mutated by elemental tidal storms every fifty years.

And these local wizards, whether they are foreign or native, are confined here and cannot leave. Unless you reach the strength of the second level or above when you enter, you can only maintain the strength of the first-level wizard until you die of old age.

Because there is a certain spatial force, the horn of despair has such a limitation. Therefore, this place will attract those who are caught up in the turbulence of space. Or the entry of wizards who failed to teleport.

And the biggest secret of the entire Corner of Despair is also under this wizard tower in the center of the Crow Castle.

The area at the base of the wizard's tower, depicted in a biography, reaches a depth of five hundred meters, and the area is impossible to estimate.

This old wizard who discovered that there was such a huge area at the bottom of the wizard tower, because he only had the strength of a first-level crystallization, he couldn't pass through those powerful force fields at all. Check the condition of the bottom area.

But according to the speculation of this old wizard who is two thousand years old, the way out of the corner of despair must be hidden inside.

The brief description of the slight mention leads Raymond to understand that there is a large area beneath the Wizard's Tower, and that the hope of leaving the Horn of Despair is also there.

After storing all the contents of the library in the library into the chip. Raymond carefully probed the entire library, but all the hidden compartments had been opened, and Raymond, who had nothing more to gain, finally had to leave the place and inspect the areas he could enter.

The magic power testing room has the meaning of existence for wizards below the first level, but for Raymond, unless he wants to destroy, this place is no longer suitable for his arrival.

As for the Viara Witch's warehouse, although a large amount of materials were piled up in it, after careful identification by Raymond, it was found that most of them were materials produced by the Horn of Despair, and Raymond could not use them without detailed testing.

And those metal ingots that were mined were all kinds of metals that Raymond had seen before, and they did not pose a strong attraction to Raymond.

Raymond, who spent three days inspecting the surface part of the wizarding tower, ended up with a disappointment.

A second-level wizard who had ruled the vast desert region in the Horn of Despair for so long, if she hadn't transferred important supplies, then the resources she had were simply pitiful.

However, the Witch of Viara, who had not yet emerged from that important test, prevented Raymond from questioning, so he summoned Reginor and asked him to explain everything that the Witch had taught by Witch Viara.

Reginord, who should have been instructed by Witch Viara, as long as it was not related to Witch Viara's purpose of inviting Raymond over, he knew all about Raymond's questions, and told them in great detail, lest he miss something.

There is no way to tell whether what Reginod said is true or not, but Reginord, who has a handsome face and a very soft voice, has always given Raymond the impression that this is the case, very much like a gentleman born from a big family, and any action is formed after years of training and training.

After accepting Reginord's invitation to enter his ancestral home in the Crow Castle, Raymond also verified his suspicion through his observation of his family members.

It took 900 years to form a huge family, although it was developed by commercial circulation, but because the children of the Reginord family have the potential of wizards, so this family, which is not very keen on the struggle for power, has always lived in the Crow Castle, belonging to the famous family of the entire Corner of Despair.

It's just that Reginord, who has more than 30 wives and concubines, although he has a strong desire for the birth of a descendant, but I don't know if it is because he is a first-class wizard, he only has an only son born during the wizard's apprenticeship, and because he does not have the potential of a wizard, he took over the family business and lived in the Red Raven Castle as a nobleman.

Therefore, Raymond, who roughly understood the customs here, directly told Leslie's question and asked the truth about the fire raven's voyeurism of this girl.

Leslie, who only has the strength of a first-level wizard apprentice, because she is originally a human, so Reginod is more aware of her situation.

Leslie, who passed the wizarding potential test at the age of eleven, is no longer concerned by Viara Witch because she has no possibility of further promotion, but as a fire raven of the same strength as Reginord, she has an incomprehensible penchant for human girls, so she made a request to Viara Witch two years ago.

However, due to the ultimate fate of all the human women it wanted to go, they fell victim to the birth of its offspring, and the breeding experiments carried out by the fire crow did not produce a powerful offspring, so the witch of Viara did not continue to agree to its request for several years.

"There are six human women in Leslie's condition in the Wizard Tower," the friendly communication was exchanged for Reginord's frankness, and he also had sympathy for the poor girls. "If you are willing to help, my lord, then their fate will be improved!"

Raymond, who understood Witch Viara's attitude towards these disciples, confirmed that everything Leslie said was true, so while he waited for Witch Viara to complete the experiment, he directly asked Leslie to move into his room.

As for the other five human girls who faced the same fate, Raymond also returned their right to choose their fate to themselves through Leslie's relay...... (To be continued......)
