318 Departure 1
Now that the decision has been made, Raymond no longer hesitates.
There was almost no need to pack up, as Raymond didn't have any luggage in the first place.
As for the materials and books that other wizards had to take with them when they moved, Raymond didn't need them at all, because all the data was stored in the chip by him, and it was foolproof.
Although there was no promise that Raymond, the old man of Maurice, would join the House of Shadows, Morris was still smiling and excited when Raymond told Maurice that he would be heading to the Midlands.
Because even if Raymond was not allowed to join the House of Shadows, it would be a great achievement for Morris to successfully persuade Raymond to go to the central region, which would be enough to offset his three-year mission time, which means that he would probably be able to return to the central region in a year or two to enjoy life in peace.
"Lord Raymond, the House of Shadows will send someone to contact you when you go to the Central Region," with a happy smile on his face, Maurice handed over a small object, with some emotion in his tone. "When I return to the central part of the country, I will be able to see you again. β
Raymond, who took the token of the House of Shadows handed over by Morris, took a closer look at it and found that on the metal plaque, which was about the size of a gold coin, the emblem of the House of Shadows was formed by two lips that were placed in opposite directions when they were put together.
The upturned lip line at the corners of the mouth is beautifully curved, like the cherry lips of a certain lady.
And the lips with scars at the corners of the mouth are like thirsty and weeping old women.
On the dull but faintly radiant badge, this strange logo has an inexplicable beauty, which makes people palpitate and inexplicably curious.
Noticing that Raymond's face was a little wrong when he looked at the badge, Morris immediately smiled and explained. "It is said that this emblem was used to commemorate a witch who once occupied three planes and was praised by later generations as the most beautiful witch king!"
Fingers rubbed over the raised lip line on the emblem. For no reason, Raymond seemed to feel a cold softness, as if he was touching a woman's lips!
Startled, Raymond immediately clenched the emblem in his hand, but the strange touch just now never appeared again.
"It's a pity that Ram Castle is still far from the nearest inn, but I have already reported the news of your departure," Maurice said to himself, not noticing Raymond's strangeness. "From here, you take the main road to LimΓ³n City, and then you can contact the local Shadow House branch and take the airboat directly to the Central Highlands. β
Because of the weirdness of the emblem in his hand. Raymond, who became a little absent-minded, recorded everything Morris told by the chip, but Raymond had his own plans for what Morris said about the House of Shadows.
Although he has no concept of the Central Region, Raymond has a Pansy family token in his pocket, in addition to the emblem of the House of Shadows.
Although, according to Morris. The Pansy family had usurped his rights and interests in the process of dealing with the ruins before. But anyway, that's Jonas's family. It was a place where Jonas longed to go back to his peaceful old age.
What's more, he is grateful to the deceased beauty Winnie, and the heroic sacrifice of the Minotaur Cyril Raymond, especially the scene where the Minotaur Cyril held Winnie's head in his arms and resolutely detonated it and remained in the hall of the wizard tower, which was deeply imprinted in Raymond's heart, making Raymond want to be within the scope of his ability. Go and do something more for Cyril the Minotaur.
As if sensing Raymond's bad mood, little Stasi, who had already packed up her things, trotted all the way from the wizard's tower to Raymond's side, hugged his arm and yelled. "Uncle. Sister Susie has promised to come with me, so take her with you!"
Turning around in astonishment, Raymond found that the old housekeeper's little granddaughter Susie was dragging a huge package and was trying to get out of it.
But the respectful old butler who had been standing next to him immediately turned green, and he quickly took two steps back and quickly rushed up the steps of the wizard's tower, followed by the cry of little Susie, and the little Susie, who was arranged by the old butler to be guarded by the servants, disappeared from everyone's sight.
When the apologetic old butler returned, he was embarrassed to apologize. "Raymond, I'm sorry. This little girl spoils me, and she has the audacity to sneak away with you......"
Raymond, who was stunned by this sudden scene, quickly figured out the reason, but the little Stacy holding his arm quickly developed into a loud cry from a small sob, which made the white-haired old butler even more embarrassed, and he stood there very helplessly.
Raymond, who smiled bitterly, quickly squatted down and hugged little Stacy in his arms, and after a few words of comfort, he hurriedly sent her into the carriage first and let her settle down.
And at this time, the Great Lord Francis, who had been smiling, also stepped forward and handed over a wooden box very solemnly. "My dear friend, although my family has been away from the Central Region for a long time, since you have made up your mind to go to the Central Region, please keep this thing, maybe you will use it later. β
Directly stuffed the wooden box handed over into his waist bag, and Raymond, who was not polite, smiled. "Francis, I'm not welcome to you, not to mention that the central region can still be contacted here, and I'll tell you the address when I settle down." β
The expression on his face was very pleased, but then Frances became a little twisted, he hesitated and still came to Raymond's side, wanting to speak but stopped talking. "This, this ......"
Raymond, who had been busy with the potion configuration before, did not visit Frances again until he made the decision to leave, and Raymond couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw his expression, and quickly lowered his voice and asked. "My friend, what's wrong with you?"
Her face was swollen and red, and she looked a little embarrassed, but Frances snorted for a long time before she lowered her voice and said the reason. "My dear friend, the stamina potion you made is depleting a bit quickly, if you reconfigure it, please remember to send me some......"
"Stamina potion?" Raymond, who was a little dazed, couldn't help but repeat in a low voice, but soon Raymond thought of a special potion...... (To be continued.) )
