Brolin shook his head and retreated into the crowd, immediately blending in with the normal Akmunds

It was a special day, for Richard, for Akmund, and for all those who were associated with Akmund. Richard's proclamation at the Black Rose Castle will also circulate, if Richard can go far enough.

Those hostile to Akmund were left to sleep, for Richard had built up a formidable force in the Black Rose Castle in an instant.

With more than 3,000 infantry knights, nearly 200 candidate Constructed Knights, and a backbone in the floating island giants, coupled with Richard's own elite Darkblade Knights and as many as 150 Constructed Knights, his current strength can be said to have caught up with Gordon.

Such a force in the hands of Richard was particularly frightening, because in the frontal defeat of Count Belinov, Richard showed incredible command ability. This is the first time that the new owner of House Akmund has tried his luck in a plane civil war.

It's just that in terms of top-level combat power, Richard still lacks, and it is a big shortage. When Gordon and the Thirteen Knights were there, even the legendary powerhouses were not willing to provoke this group of madmen lightly. Richard's own team still needs time to grow, and Gordon only has Lina and Richard who are closer, and Aceris and Semir still keep their distance. Serdon and the boxers did not listen to Richard's orders at all.

For the next few days, Richard was so busy that he almost fell into the pile of his lord's affairs.

He was to reorganize the army, contact supplies and equipment. The biggest headache for him is how to arrange the guardians of the Black Rose Castle. This castle is not to be lost, and its significance is almost as much as a plane.

In the end, after repeated considerations, Richard decided to put the dragon mage here, Lina could easily manipulate the wrath of the Discra, and she was also one of the thirteen knights of the Gordon era, and she was more able to be recognized by the free Akmund warriors, and the little lords of Asan also showed due respect to her.

In addition, Richard had to rebuild a series of teleportation arrays in the Black Rose Castle, including teleportation arrays to floating islands, various planes, and dark blue. When it comes to building a teleportation array, Lina is also the best choice.

At the same time, Richard also sent emissaries to negotiate with several minor nobles in the immediate vicinity of Ashan, trying to buy or replace their domains, so that Asan and the viscounty won from the Earl of Cardiff would be merged together, so that the Yuanwang Peninsula would extend a tentacle to the extended mainland, which could be used as a buffer zone and an outpost, which would be more convenient for military defense, and in addition, in terms of area, it would barely reach a county.

While Richard was busy, news spread from Faust to the Black Rose Castle.

After seeing this news, Richard stayed for a long time, and then hurriedly ordered his followers to supervise the work according to the predetermined plan, and then he took the four griffons and continued to fly to Faust day and night.

At this time, the magic circle leading to Faust in the Black Rose Castle had not been repaired.

As soon as the griffin landed on the floating island of Akmund, Richard made a beeline for the Temple of the Eternal Dragon. In the Dragon Palace, he met Grand Priest Fan Lin as he wished.

"The Great Priest ......"

As soon as Richard spoke, he was interrupted by Van Lin: "Richard, you are also here for the rumors of Mordred and your father?"

"It's for Gordon Akmund. Richard corrected Van Lin's title.

Fan Lin looked at Richard, suddenly sighed, and said, "Richard, there is a problem between you and Gordon, we can all see it. But Gordon has done a lot for you, and now, what kind of hatred should be dissolved. After all...... He's dead. ”

Richard's face suddenly turned pale, his body shook even more, only his voice could still remain normal, except that his voice slowed down a lot, and said, "You mean that he is dead?"

"At least that's what I've seen in time back. Van Lin said.

Richard was silent, not knowing what he was thinking. In the silent hall, his heavy heartbeat could be heard, like the war drums of the ancient barbarians.

When Richard looked up again, his face was calm and his voice was calm: "What about Gordon's body, was it taken by Mordred?

Van Lin hesitated. Richard also saw Fan Lin's hesitation, so he said: "Do you have any scruples, I need to know this news, and I am willing to pay for it." ”

Fan Lin sighed softly again and said, "If you must want to know, then pay the corresponding price." A top-of-the-line offering. ”

"Yes. Richard replied without hesitation.

"But, Richard, does that make sense? You just know where they're going, and you can't go now. Fan Lin persuaded.

"It doesn't matter if you can't go now, you can always go in the future. And I've already been to the Peerless Battlefield, and I believe there are not many places I can't go. Richard said very indifferently.

"It's more terrifying than the Peerless Battlefield. Van Lin said.

Richard smiled and said, "No matter what place it is, I'm going to go once." I'm not because of anything else, but because Gordon was once king of Akmund, and that such a person should go back to the family cemetery and be laid to rest, that's all. And that's what I'm doing now. So you don't have to worry about me, I'll send you the sacrifice right away. Now, tell me, where did Mordred go with Gordon?"

"The bottom of the abyss. ”

Richard was also a little distracted when he heard the word. It's a familiar place, but it's a completely unfamiliar place.

It sounds familiar because Norland is no stranger to the two powerful planes of the Abyss and Hell, and there is a whole row of shelves in the Deep Blueprint Pavilion with detailed information about these two worlds. That's because the Legendary Mage frequents the Abyss and Hell, and is deeply hated by a large number of High Lords because of her frequent visits.

Richard knew that the abyss, like hell, was divided into many levels. Each level has a high lord who rules over a qiē, and in this level, the high lord has almost the power to fight the gods.

No one knows how many levels the abyss and hell are divided into, some say there are hundreds, and some say there are thousands of levels. Although the most commonly adopted theory is that the abyss has no bottom and the number of layers is constantly changing, the Nine Domains of Hell, no matter how many layers there are, also belong to the nine realms.

But this is actually more of an academic hypothesis, and whatever the number is, no matter how it is defined, it is just a scholar's guess, derived from some obscure accounts in the oldest written texts, which most of the time look more like legends.

Another source of information is the words of adventurers, and the strong people who go to explore and are lucky enough to bring back records are more than just seeing a small corner of the incomparably vast world.

Even with His Royal Highness Su Helen's ability, she couldn't give an accurate number of layers, and what she frequented was only dozens of layers in the two worlds.

Noland's current lack of even the number of layers of the abyss is, and the mainstream space school still assumes that the bottom of the abyss is constantly changing, so how can he know what the bottom of the abyss is?

"What is that place?" asked Richard.

"It is said that it is the deepest part of the world of crystal walls, a place that the power of the dragon of eternity and time has never touched. It was a strange world, with its own rules, and it was immensely vast. That's all I know, but I suggest that you go and find a crystal called the Tears of Ambis, which is a crystal that only appears at the bottom of the abyss, and maybe you can learn a little bit about the mysteries of the bottom of the abyss. However, the Tears of Ambis rarely appear in Norland, and each Tears of Ambis is the product of the competition of legendary powerhouses, and its value is about ten Beceras Spider Crystals. ”

Whether it is the name, description, or number in Fan Lin's words, it is so heavy that people can't breathe. Richard finally nodded and said, "I got it." He left the Eternal Dragon Palace.

It didn't take long for a top-level offering to be sent to Grand Priest Van Lin.

Before or after Richard, there were also many representatives of wealthy families, and even the head of the family came to the Eternal Dragon Hall in person, wanting to ask to see Fan Lin to give guidance to the puzzle. But Van Lin didn't see any of them, nor did she answer any questions about Mordred.

Her attitude has a wonderful effect.

Faust was operating normally, as if it had not been affected in any way, and Fan Lin did not say anything, which showed from the side that the events of the previous day had at least no impact on the Eternal Dragon Palace, and it would not affect the people living on the floating island. So people's hearts gradually settled down.

But after this battle, more than one of the leaders of the wealthy families began to wonder if they should delve deeper into Faust, after all, there are still too many mysteries in this city of wonders.

Soon after Richard left, the courtiers arrived at the Hall of the Eternal Dragon. After seeing the Grand Priest of Van Lin, he humbly bent down and said, "Your Majesty has decided to go out for a walk, and in a few days you will leave Faust." ”

Fan Lin hummed, signaling that he knew, and the ministers withdrew from the Eternal Dragon Palace.

And on the floating island of Akmund, Richard wasted an entire day and locked himself in the magical room, where he didn't see anyone and didn't deal with anything. He drank a whole dozen of spirits, his headache was splitting, and his body was a little uncontrollable, and the smell of alcohol poured out and flooded from his body, but there was no way to get drunk.

All the memories became extraordinarily clear, and they began to be replayed from the time he was sensible, and the scenes flashed before his eyes, and finally the news he received.

Richard placed the last empty bottle on the ground.

There was no more alcohol, so he began to stay.

PS: Ignore ......
