More than two hours later, Richard had read all the records about thangkas and had a deeper understanding of this legendary wizard.
According to the records in the book, this legendary wizard was born in the Kingdom of Sika, and his life experience is more mysterious than what is disclosed. There is a lot of evidence that there is some connection between Thangka and the royal family of the Kingdom of Sika, but what it is specifically is not yet known. Don't know.
Corresponding to Thangka's mysterious identity, Thangka's experiences for many years when he was young were unknown, even to his friends. In fact, it was not until Thangka left the Sika Kingdom and began to travel on the mainland that he gradually became famous and got acquainted with many legendary wizards.
Speaking of which, the friendship between Soros and Thangka only started in the second half of Thangka's life, but the two were indeed very close and had collaborated on many things. Because of this, after Thangka died unexpectedly, Soros was the craziest person investigating the cause of Thangka's death.
It is worth mentioning that Thangka's tomb is not as secret as imagined. There is even a tombstone in the place where he lived for many years. However, almost everyone suspected that it was not a real tomb, but just a disguise.
People speculate that the real tomb of Thangka should be somewhere else, but not too far away from the apparent tomb. Because Thangka had publicly disclosed his will, requesting that after his death, he be buried in the place that he thought was the most comfortable place in the world, that is... "
"Bai Gu." Richard slowly closed the book and said thoughtfully.
…
White Valley.
Richard has always been very motivated, and once he decides to do something, he will never hesitate.
After confirming the location of the thangka tomb, he said goodbye to the sorceress Sersi, left Faroe City, and traveled day and night to a place called "White Valley".
After arriving at Baigu, he first went to the public tomb of Thangka. After just one glance, it became clear why everyone suspected it was a fake tomb, because the tomb was located in a private garden.
In the private garden, the scenery is very good, with lawns, flowers and fountains. The air is fresh and the environment is pleasant. In addition, there are many stalls selling food and gadgets at the entrance, making it a good place for daily leisure.
But what's going on when you are allowed to enter the park to view the tombs after paying per person
Amusement park... No, the prototype of a memorial hall charging admission tickets
According to the stories of passers-by, Richard learned some information. It turned out that this place was a way for a Thangka apprentice to appear from nowhere and make money in the name of others.
Considering that this apprentice was not disposed of by Thangka's friends and allowed his descendants to develop to what they are now, it is possible that this apprentice is real. Of course, it may be fake, but Thangka's friends are happy to see it, and use it to cover Thangka's real tomb.
In any case, there are good reasons to be suspicious of open graves.
Just in case, Richard deliberately used the perspective function of his Gazing Eye to take a look and confirmed that there was nothing in the tomb and that it was an empty shell. Then he shook his head and left in a funny way.
After that, Richard began to try to find the real tomb of Thangka in other places in Baigu. The search took place a week later.
…
A week later in the afternoon.
Under the shining of the sun, Richard appeared on a mound dozens of meters high in Baigu.
He squinted at a small town under the mound, recalling the areas that had been ruled out in recent days, and let out a breath.
One thing that needs to be made clear is that although Baigu is called Baigu, it has nothing to do with "white" or "valley".
The name of Baigu comes from the local indigenous language "Bocardo", which means "secret place". It is an area of several hundred square kilometers, similar to the size of an entire county on Earth.
This place is close to the border of the Soma Alliance, not far from the barren mountains of the Sika Kingdom and the barren plateau of the Northern Wasteland. It seems to have been infected by the two bad lands, so it is also extremely barren.
In the area, apart from the endless forests, there are almost no special products. Therefore, the two most prosperous professions here are lumberjacks and carriage drivers - lumberjacks are responsible for cutting high-quality wood, and carriage drivers are responsible for transporting it and selling it to other places. People who need it.
People here have been doing this since before the Soma Alliance was founded, and they are still doing it today.
People here are not worried that the forest will be cut down at all, because the forest they face is a vast green sea that spreads to the Soma Alliance, the Sika Kingdom, and the Northern Wasteland. Whether it is for ordinary people or wizards, , are almost endless.
Therefore, no matter how hard people work, they can only cut down trees at the same rate as the forest is expanding outward. After working hard for so many years, they are almost wandering in place, without going deep into the forest at all.
Richard was not too unfamiliar with this place, because he had passed by here once before in order to choose a suitable place for the tin wood to be planted, and finally placed the tin wood deep in the vast forest with this place as the edge.
However, I passed by in a hurry last time. After exploring in detail this time, I found that Baigu is not simple.
The terrain here is very complex, ranging from relatively flat plains to undulating mountains, so it took him several days to explore and eliminate most of the area.
There are still two final areas left to explore in the White Valley, one is Black Spike Town, and the other is Ashwood Town under the mound where he is.
“Ashwood Town…”
Richard's eyes narrowed and his body disappeared little by little. A few seconds later, his body reappeared and he was already standing on the street of Gray Wood Town.
There were only a few people on the streets of Ashwood Town, and no one noticed that someone was performing the "big transformation into a living person" trick here. It was very peaceful.
Richard looked around, selected the only tavern in the town, and walked over.
Walk to the door, push the door open, and step into the lobby.
In the lobby, there were two tables of lumberjacks and one table of coachmen drinking wine, while the rest of the seats were empty. Considering that it was only the afternoon and there was still quite some time before the evening rush hour, it was not too cold.
A few people drinking wine looked at him out of curiosity, but after one glance, they lost interest and turned back to continue drinking with their companions. With an indifferent expression on his face, Richard didn't pay too much attention to others. He locked eyes on the bartender behind the counter and walked over.
"I want to ask about something." Richard spoke to the bartender, thought for a while and asked, "Are there any abandoned cemeteries near here? Or is there any place suitable for burying people?"
The young bartender behind the counter didn't even raise his eyelids after listening to Richard's words. He wiped the table with a torn rag and spat on it from time to time.
There was an expression on his face that he had already seen everything, and he spoke with a mixture of boredom and boredom, "You are also here to find the real tomb of the wizard thangka, right?"
"Huh?" Richard raised his eyebrows.
