The black qi surged towards Richard, and in the middle of it, it quickly transformed into a skeleton with constantly moving jaws, and it seemed that as soon as it touched Richard, it would bite wildly.

When Richtat looked at it, out of caution, he was ready to dodge, but as soon as he had the thought, he felt something move in his arms.

"Huh? Is that ......?"

As soon as Richard thought of this, he saw the white light burst through the cracks in his clothes and slammed into the skull.

In an instant, it was like pouring a whole bucket of boiling water on a snowman that had been piled up, and all the skulls exploded with a "poof", then quickly dissipated, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You...... It's!" The old man looked at Richard with wide eyes and incredulous disbelief, "You...... Boy, how?"

Richard didn't speak, slowly reached out and took out the white feather from his arms, and watched the branches of the white feather continue to vibrate.

"What is this?" wondered the old man.

"Guess. Richard spoke, but he was not in the mood to explain the principle to the enemy, and besides, he himself was not completely clear.

The old man was furious: "Damn boy, you better die! Don't think that I only have one way to attack, now I will turn you into a sieve!"

When the words fell, the old man waved his hand again, this time no longer a large amount of black gas poured out, but the air surged, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed into finger-sized ice picks, and then shot towards Richard and Pandora like bullets.

In the face of this physical attack, the white feather did not shoot white light again, and Richard did not make any defensive moves, allowing the icicle to shoot on his body. The non-Newtonian fluid underneath the garment works to harden quickly, making the garment harder than the plate armor, and causing the ice picks that shoot on it to crack quickly.

As for the icicles shot at Pandora...... Pandora didn't blink her eyes, easily blocked it with her skin, and then grabbed an ice pick, put it in her mouth and chewed it, frowned and said, "It's still not sweet." ”

Old man: "......"

In the thatched hut, there was suddenly a second of silence, a dead silence.

In the silence, the old man's whole face was distorted, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his body trembled, and he glared at Richard and Pandora and said, "You guys...... Who are you?"

"Why don't you let me give you the question back - who are you?" Richard asked, "Judging by the way you look, your strength should be between a third-level wizard apprentice and a full-fledged wizard, and such a person should not be the head of a village."

Who are you, what is the castle all about, where are the people who used to live in the castle now, tell me the answers to these questions, and I can spare you. ”

"it!" the old man laughed sadly, "Boy, do you want me to leak information?" ”

"But there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death. Richard said.

"What, you want to extract a confession from me?" the old man was full of disdain, and then said with great seriousness, "You better wait until the next life!"

As the words fell, the old man's body was like a blown ball, swelling up sharply, and extremely unstable energy fluctuations emerged in his body, which was about to explode.

Richard's face changed slightly, and he pulled Pandora behind him and quickly retreated out the door.

Two types of non-Newtonian fluids flow out rapidly from underneath the garment, quickly forming a "fence-like, self-reactive, multi-layered, non-Newtonian fluid form shield" in front of the body, which is also known as the "fourth form shield".

The next moment, Richard retreated to the outside of the thatched hut with Pandora, and heard a "bang", and the whole thatched hut exploded, rising into a huge fireball, and the hot flames and powerful shockwaves hit the shield fiercely.

The destructive force first crashes through the air fence, then triggers the spell salt on the shield's surface, which is finally blocked by the shield body.

After a while, Richard put away his shield, looked at the thatched house razed to the ground in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head, he was 100% sure that the old man was dead.

And the other party would rather die than reveal key information, which really gave him a bit of a headache - the clues that he finally had were cut off like this, and he really didn't know where to go next.

Thinking like this, Richard suddenly saw something and turned his head sharply to the side.

I saw the rest of the people in the village, as if they heard the movement of the thatched hut, and came over in twos and threes. Everyone didn't look like they were looking at the excitement, the expression on their faces was surprised and delighted, they slowly approached, then they knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.

"Bang bang bang!"

This!

It wasn't until the other party kowtowed more than a dozen times that Richard reacted and hurriedly stopped the abnormal actions of a group of people on the other side. Pulling up the old man in his sixties, helping the old lady in his seventies, beckoning many young people, and asking loudly, "What are you doing here?"

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 ...... Your Excellency, you must have helped us kill the demon in the room......, right? Thank you. ”

"Demons, thanks?" Richard asked, his eyebrows twitching, "who are you?"

"I'm the head of the village of Arubak, well, the former chief, after the demon came here, he was the former chief, and I and the people of 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 the hell is going on?" asked Richard.

The middle-aged man said, and after a while, Richard got the truth from the other party's mouth that was completely different from that of the rickety old man.

According to the middle-aged man, the old man came here about three years ago, occupied the castle as soon as he arrived, and then asked the people of the village to prepare all kinds of things from time to time, from food and candles to wood and stone, and frequently ordered the people in the village to do hard labor.

The people in the village naturally did not obey at first, but after the old man killed the two most powerful young men with a spell, no one dared to resist, and they obeyed honestly and lived a tormented life until today.

After hearing this, Richard thought for a moment, and then asked aloud: "So, do you know what is going on in the castle......?" Who lives in the castle?"

"It's not clear. The middle-aged man shook his head, "I just know that the demon lives in the castle alone, but there are other people, because that demon will ask for something that is obviously only used by women from time to time.

Other than that...... The castle often held banquets, and every time it was held, we had a lot of things in our room, and that was the hardest time for us. ”

"Is that so......" asked Richard again, "you know that the castle is empty now, and where have the other people in the castle gone, except for the old man?"

"This ......," the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then said in a loud voice, "There are indeed people in our village who have seen the people in the castle leave in a carriage, and it must have been more than a month ago that they saw the carriage go to the west. ”

"The west?" asked Richard, "what is the west, or what are the more famous cities in the west?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, he looked at Richard, and said with a little surprise: "Don't you know that not far to the west is the largest and largest city in the world?"

"The biggest and biggest city in the world?

"Florent!"
