The black energy surged toward Richard, and in the middle, it quickly transformed into skulls with jaws constantly moving. It seemed that if it touched Richard, it would bite him like crazy.
After looking at it, Richard prepared to dodge out of caution, but as soon as he had this thought, he felt something move in his arms.
"Huh? Is this..."
As soon as Richard thought of this, he saw white light suddenly penetrated from the gap in his clothes and hit the skull hard.
In an instant, it was like pouring a bucket of boiling water on the piled snowman. All the skulls exploded with a "pop", and then quickly dissipated, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
"You... this is it!" The old man stared at Richard with his eyes wide open, looking at Richard in disbelief, "You... boy, how did you do it?"
Richard didn't say anything. He slowly reached out and took out the white feather from his arms, watching the white feather's branches vibrating continuously.
"What is this?" the old man wondered.
"Guess." Richard said, but he was not in the mood to explain the principle to the enemy. Besides, he himself was not completely clear yet.
The old man was furious: "Damn boy, you'd better die! Don't think that I only have one way to attack. Now I'm going to turn you into a sieve!"
After finishing speaking, the old man waved his hand again. This time it was no longer a large amount of black air, but a surge of air. The moisture in the air quickly condensed into ice cones the size of fingertips, and then shot towards Li like bullets. Cha and Pandora.
Faced with this physical attack, Bai Feather stopped shooting out white light, and Richard didn't make any defensive moves, letting the ice pick hit him. The non-Newtonian fluid under the clothes takes effect and hardens quickly, making the clothes harder than plate armor, causing the ice pick shot on it to quickly break.
As for the ice pick that shot at Pandora... Pandora didn't even blink, and easily blocked it with her skin. Then she grabbed an ice pick, put it in her mouth and chewed it, frowning and said: "Still not. So sweet.”
elder:"… "
In the thatched house, there was suddenly a second of silence, a deathly silence.
In the silence, the old man's whole face was distorted, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his body was trembling, he stared at Richard and Pandora and said, "You... who are you?"
"Let me put the question back to you - who are you?" Richard asked, "Looking at your appearance, your strength should be between a third-level wizard apprentice and a formal wizard. Such a person should not be a The head of the village.
Who are you, and what's going on in the castle? Where are the people who once lived in the castle now? Tell me the answers to these questions truthfully and I can let you go. "
"Jie Jie Jie Jie!" The old man laughed sinisterly after hearing this, "Boy, you want me to leak information? Then you are really overthinking it. I would rather die than leak information."
"But there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death." Richard said.
"What, you want to force a confession from me?" The old man was full of disdain, and then said every word with utmost seriousness, "You'd better wait until the next life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's body expanded rapidly like a blown ball. Extremely unstable energy fluctuations emerged from his body, and he was about to explode.
Richard's expression changed slightly, he pulled Pandora behind him and quickly retreated out of the door.
The two non-Newtonian fluids under the clothes flow out quickly and quickly generate a "fence-type, self-reactive, multi-layer composite, non-Newtonian fluid form shield" in front of the body, which is the "fourth form shield".
The next moment, Richard took Pandora back outside the thatched house, and heard a "bang" sound. The entire thatched house exploded, a huge fireball rose up, and the high-temperature flames and powerful shock waves hit the shield hard. .
The destructive force first knocked open the air barrier, then triggered the magic salt on the surface of the shield, and was finally blocked by the main body of the shield.
After a while, Richard put away his shield and looked at the razed thatched house in front of him. He couldn't help but shake his head. He was 100% sure that the old man was dead.
The other party would rather die than reveal the key information, which really gave him a headache - the clues he had finally found were cut off, and he really didn't know where to go next.
Just as he was thinking this, Richard suddenly saw something and turned his head suddenly to look aside.
I saw the rest of the people in the village coming over in twos and threes as if they heard the noise coming from the thatched house. Everyone didn't look like they were just watching the excitement. The expressions on their faces were surprised and happy. They slowly approached, then suddenly knelt on the ground and started kowtowing.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
this!
It wasn't until the other party kowtowed more than a dozen times that Richard realized and quickly stopped the abnormal behavior of the other group of people. He picked up an old man in his sixties and an old woman in his seventies, called out to many young people, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Many villagers looked at each other, and a middle-aged man in his forties was pushed out of the crowd.
The middle-aged man who was pushed out took a deep breath, looked at Richard and said: "This... Dear Sir, it must be you who helped us kill the devil in the house, right? We are now... in Thank u."
"Devil? Thank you?" After hearing this, Richard moved his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the village chief of Arubach Village. Well, the former village chief. After the devil came here, I became the former village chief. I and the people in the village were enslaved by him." The middle-aged man said with a look of resentment. "If you hadn't killed him, we don't know how long we would have been enslaved."
"What's going on?" Richard asked.
The middle-aged man started talking, and after a while, Richard got the truth from the other man's mouth that was completely different from what the rickety old man told him.
According to what the middle-aged man said, the old man came here about three years ago. He occupied the castle as soon as he arrived, and then asked the people in the village to prepare various things from time to time, ranging from food and candles to wood. , stones, and frequently ordered people in the village to do hard work.
Naturally, the people in the village would not obey at first, but after the old man used magic to kill the two most powerful young people, no one dared to resist. They obeyed obediently and lived in suffering until today.
After listening, Richard thought for a moment and asked aloud: "So, do you know what is going on in the castle? For example... who lives in the castle?"
"I don't know about that." The middle-aged man shook his head, "I just know that the devil lives in the castle, not only the devil, but also other people, because from time to time the devil will ask for things that are obviously only used by women.
In addition... the castle often held banquets, and every time they were held, we would prepare a lot of things. That was the most difficult time for us. "
"Is that so..." Richard asked again, "You know the castle is empty now, right? Except the old man, where have everyone else in the castle gone?"
"Well..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone in our village did see people from the castle leaving in a carriage. It should have been more than a month ago that they saw the carriage going to the west."
"The west?" Richard asked, "Where is the west? In other words, are there any more famous cities in the west?"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, he looked at Richard, and said with slight surprise: "Your Excellency, don't you know that not far to the west is the largest and largest city in the world?"
"The biggest, biggest city in the world? What?"
"Florent!"
