A month later......

When Reginord, a disciple of the witch of Viara, entered the porcelain village with the convoy escorted by the trolls, the porcelain girls here looked a little sluggish, except for the porcelain girls Blanche and Anita who served Raymond.

Twenty adult porcelain figures, ten kilograms of Extreme Eastern purple clay, three sets of potion utensils, and various medicinal herbs that Raymond was not familiar with.

Dressed in delicate and ornate wizard robes, Reginord had a modest expression, a respectful and sincere attitude, and after presenting the gift of Witch Viara, Raymond felt Witch Viara's sincerity, and was even more sure of the previous speculation.

"Lord Raymond, because the convoy set off from the Red Raven Castle with the Fire Raven," Reginord explained apologetically after waiting for Raymond to read the gift list. "Therefore, among the imprisoned porcelain figures, only these porcelain people who can travel quickly can catch up with the convoy, so there is no way to send them all this time. ”

"I am somewhat flattered by the generosity of Lord Viala, and I appreciate her kindness. Raymond, who took out the bitter water that old Hewlett had accumulated in the past month, handed it over directly. "This is all the bitter water that the porcelain people have accumulated, please pass it on directly to Lord Viara. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Reginord, whose leisurely and elegant expression changed to excitement, but still maintained restraint, still took the box gently and examined it.

The bitter water that Raymond filled with four test tubes was all produced in the entire porcelain village in a month, nearly 400 milliliters.

"Great! Great!" Reginord, who clearly understood the value of this thing in the eyes of the Viara witch, finally lost his indifferent attitude in excitement.

"I can make sure that the promise I made with the Fire Raven will be kept, but the trip to the Rook Castle will need to wait for the Elemental Tide Storm to pass. Raymond, who had a smile on his face, was a little envious of the Viara witch who had a disciple like Reginord. "And the purple clay from the far east, I hope to be able to supply more in the future. ”

Reginord, who carefully stuffed the wooden box containing the test tube into his waist bag, laughed when he heard it. "Viara-sama wants to be able to communicate with you directly, so the car also brings a remote communication tool, so you can contact Viala now!"

"A tool for remote contact?" Raymond, who was a little surprised, couldn't help frowning. "Can't you use the spell?"

"Because of the existence of spatial turbulence between the Red Raven Castle and the porcelain village, there are many places where the magic ghost is in the corner of despair and cannot be contacted," Reginord gradually regained his calm. I explained it patiently. "However, since it is very difficult to make materials for remote communication, this time we will only bring a type that can be used once. ”

Somewhat surprised by Viara's preparation, Raymond, who immediately readily agreed, was also very curious about this remote communication tool, and Reginor immediately began to set up it in the room.

This way of remote communication is like a rune array, and Raymond is standing next to him and observing. Eventually, the process of setting up Reginord was also recorded, but for the materials used in this rune. The chip couldn't judge for a while.

And Reginod after the erection of this rune array with a diameter of less than one meter. The six key energy nodes were filled with crystals, and with the faint and continuous energy fluctuations, a three-dimensional picture appeared in the rune array.

The translucent picture was a little distorted, but after a moment it looked like an old woman sitting behind a long table, and she spoke first. "Lord Raymond, I am Viara of the Crow Castle. Welcome to the giant cage of the Horn of Despair and be one of the many who want to get out of it!"

Viara Witch, who is kind-looking, but apparently very old, surprises Raymond a little.

Female wizards. Especially these witches above the second level, as long as they are not at the last stage of their lives, they generally have extremely picky requirements for their appearance, and it is rare to see a witch in such a state!

"Don't be surprised, trust my kindness to your arrival, and I hope you will be able to meet me at the Crow Castle soon," said Witch Viara, who was aging but had particularly bright eyes, with a helpless wry smile on her face. "Because of the inconvenience of contact, you can explain any needs to my disciple Reginord, you are not the first foreign wizard living in the corner of despair, and you will definitely not be the last ......"

But when Witch Viara said this, the three-dimensional image that appeared in the rune array first interrupted the sound, and then the vision shook violently, and the entire communication rune array seemed to be distorted like a turbulent flow, and soon the spar that was placed on the energy node of the rune array burst out with dazzling light in vain, and was immediately exhausted of energy and turned into debris.

"I'm sorry Lord Raymond, because it's already the time when the Elemental Tide Storm is approaching, so any spell casting will be affected," Reginord immediately laughed bitterly, as if he had expected this phenomenon. "It seems that your communication with Mistress Viara can only be after the elemental tidal storm has subsided. ”

Raymond knew more about the changes in his environment than Reginord did, and instead of continuing the conversation, he invited him to stay in the porcelain village for a few days as the host.

Reginord, who readily agreed, left with a smile on his face, and old Hewlett, who was in charge of arranging everything for the porcelain people who were sent, appeared in front of Raymond with great excitement shortly after Reginord left.

"Dear Lord Raymond, thank you for your efforts to free the imprisoned porcelain, and please accept old Hewlett's salute!" Old Hewlett bowed with his hands on his chest, his joy still with a touch of sadness. "Four porcelain villages have been attacked by the Red Crow Castle, and the elders of these porcelain villages are no longer there......"

"There is a price to be paid for keeping secrets, and I feel sorry for what happened to them," Raymond could only express a slight relief knowing that this was just a way for Witch Viara to show her goodwill. "As for the Arctic Purple Clay you mentioned last time, the Crow Castle has sent quite a few of them this time, and you need to provide an exact amount if you need it. ”

"This kind of purple clay from the Far East is a coveted thing, and it can only be found in the icebergs of the Far East," said old Hewlett, who no longer sighed, with an embarrassed look on his face. "There is no upper limit to the amount of this clay for porcelain people, no matter how much it is, it is ......"

"Witch Viara is not a philanthropist, you don't have such unrealistic ideas!" Immediately interrupting what old Hewlett was about to say, Raymond gave him a solemn warning directly. "If you want to rely on bitter water in exchange for this resource, I believe that the porcelain race will be extinct at your hands!"

"Yes, yes!" A gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes, but old Hewlett immediately lowered his posture. "When all the imprisoned porcelain figures are delivered, the yield of bitter water can be tripled, but at least ten kilograms of Arctic purple clay are needed every month to ensure the health of the villagers. ”

"Health, don't let health lead to an uncontrollable situation!" Raymond, who turned and walked to the window, had a headache for this old Hewlett who was a little too much, and had to hit him again. "I'll negotiate with Crow Castle about the purple clay of the Far East, but it must be negotiated on the condition that the agreement between the two parties can be enforced, and the final outcome will be decided by the Viara Witch. ”

Although Raymond's tone was not very good, the old Hewlett with a bright smile on his face was not impressed, but instead came up and made a request. "Then the Extreme East purple clay sent this time will be sent to the warehouse of my small building first to start using, what do you think?"

Raymond, who was facing the window, couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched the actions of the porcelain people who were carrying the gifts of the Rook Castle in the circular square. "How? They're already moving the Purple Clay from the Far East to your little building!" (To be continued......)
