Blue Lagoon Manor.
Richard walked out of the Garden of Eden, found the butler Gallie with a serious expression, and gave instructions.
"Gallie, I'm going on a long trip now."
"Going far?" Jialie was stunned.
"Yes, I'm going on a long trip. Don't ask me where I'm going. Just manage the manor well while I'm away.
If someone visits me, such as Bobo Bovich or Joseph, tell them: I am going out to look for a rare material for research reasons, and I may not come back for a while.
If they are not in a hurry, they can wait for a while and come to me again. If they are in a hurry, they can leave a letter. When I come back and read the letter, I will definitely contact them as soon as possible. Remember? "Richard asked.
After hearing what Jialie said, he looked at Richard and nodded vigorously: "I remember."
"Very good." Richard patted Gallie's shoulder lightly and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, he thought of something. He stopped slowly, turned to look at Jialie and said, "By the way, Jialie, while I'm away, pay attention to the craftsmen, especially the carpenters." , blacksmith, the more the better. It might be useful when I come back."
"Craftsman? Carpenter, blacksmith?" Gallie read it again, nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
"That's good, I believe you." Richard said, turned around and left Blue Lake Manor, flying towards the west.
…
The day passes quickly and night falls.
Night rose from all directions, covering the entire world bit by bit, and then slowly dispersed under the movement of the stars above and the blowing of the cold night wind.
At the last moment of the lingering night, before dawn, Richard appeared in a forest surrounding the small town of New Shambhala.
This is a very inconspicuous forest, with dense trees and wild grass everywhere. It looks no different from other places.
Richard stopped and stopped in a small clearing in the forest.
Around the open space, there were a large number of tree branches broken, and the weeds on the ground also showed signs of being burned. Taking a deep breath, Richard could vaguely sense the magic energy floating in the air.
Hot, violent, cold, sharp...
There was obviously a battle that took place here, and those who won the battle cleaned up the battlefield and buried the bodies of the losers, not wanting those who came after to discover too much information. However, the people who cleaned up the battlefield were not very professional. In other words, the people who cleaned up the battlefield did not expect that someone would find this place soon. Therefore, the cleaning was relatively rough and the traces left behind were somewhat obvious.
At this time, Richard looked at the remaining traces of the battle in the open space, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his brain was working, trying to reconstruct the scene here.
"This should be the core of the battlefield, with the most traces of battle left around..."
"There was a brief encounter here..."
"Someone or a creature has fallen here..."
"here… "
After talking to himself for a while, Richard walked towards the edge of the open space, stopped in front of a big tree with two people hugging each other, looked around, and nodded: "Well, if I am not wrong, the body should be Buried here."
"Okay, let me see what the demonized beast is that can spread corrosive energy and pollute the environment with radiation." Richard said, "Let me see how the other party does this. Yes."
As he spoke, Richard bent down and put one hand on the ground.
As soon as the thought comes to mind, the free energy elements in the source of magic quickly surge out, are released along the fingers, work, and the spell is generated.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound in the woods, as if a cowhide war drum was violently beaten, and the ground where Richard's palm touched made a "crash", and it suddenly sank downwards as if it was overwhelmed.
Richard raised his hand, and with the help of extraordinary power, the soil within a radius of several meters continued to squirm and move around, moving away from where Richard's hand was as if it were alive.
In just a few seconds, the entire ground was cut down by more than thirty centimeters.
A layer of blackened soil was exposed, stained with blood, and so black that it seemed as if the night was hiding inside.
As Richard got closer, he could clearly feel that corrosive energy was constantly flowing out from inside, and the concentration was stronger than what he had felt from Joseph before.
Apparently, this was the source of the energy that polluted Joseph.
Richard took a deep breath, lowered his arm, and the short staff slipped out of his sleeve, holding it in his hand with a "pop" sound.
"call out!"
The end of the short staff quickly cut through the air, making a slight whistling sound, and another spell fell on the surrounding ground.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound continued, and the ground quickly sank layer by layer, and more soil was pushed around by the extraordinary force.
In a moment, a large pile of demonized beast corpses buried one meter deep in the ground were exposed.
Demonized wild boar, demonized fox, demonized wild wolf, demonized mouse...
Richard opened his eyes wide and recognized one after another.
After identification, Richard took out a pair of white animal skin gloves from the space iron ring, put it on his hand, grabbed the body of a demonized rat and dragged it to the ground nearby.
Richard's eyes glowed blue, and he used his "Gaze Eyes" to carefully observe the state of the corpse with the help of his clairvoyance ability. From the head of the corpse, sweep slowly to the tail, stopping briefly at the middle of the corpse for a few seconds.
"There seems to be something." Richard said softly, flipping his hand, taking out a single-edged black knife for dissection from the space iron ring, and slashed it into the demonized mouse's abdomen.
"thorn, thorn, thorn..."
The demonized mouse's fur was very tough. Richard used a lot of force on the black knife, but it still didn't go well.
"The strength of the body has increased significantly." Richard murmured. Without hesitation in the next moment, he put away the knife and waved his hand, and a black wind blade more than ten centimeters long appeared at the tip of his finger.
He controlled the wind blade to fall towards the demonized mouse, and with a "crash" sound, he easily cut open the body, exposing the internal structure.
From the opponent's stomach, several black stones the size of fingers slowly slid out and fell to the ground with a "snap".
Richard picked up a black stone with two fingers and immediately felt a higher concentration of corrosive energy, or radiation, and his eyebrows could not help but stand up.
What's this
Stomach stones
Not like that.
It seemed like some kind of ore that had been eaten by the demonized rats and remained in the body because it couldn't be digested.
If it is really ore, where did it come from
Yes, the nearby town of Shambhala is a gathering place for mining. It is most likely that it comes from a mine there.
In this case…
Richard stood up, thought carefully, quickly cleaned up his surroundings, restored it to the way it was before he came, and then left the woods and headed towards the small town of Shambhala not far away.
