"Lord Raymond, over there is the highest mountain in the western part of the Cape of Despair, Mount Elka......"
"Lord Raymond, this is the largest granary of the Corner of Despair, the ...... of the North Lake Plain."
Reginord, a first-class crystallizer with a handsome face and a very soft voice, rode on his horse, leaned close to the side window of a luxurious carriage, and respectfully introduced the names of the surroundings.
In the side window of the propped up carriage, a calm-looking Raymond listened to his introduction and observed everything in his field of vision.
It had been twenty days since he left the Porcelain Village on the shores of the Lake, and Reginord, who had no hope of finding the whereabouts of the Porcelain Clan, hurried to the Red Crow Castle at Raymond's request.
Since the Elemental Tidal Storm had just subsided, it was not uncommon to see fallen monsters on the side of the road the week before the trip, as well as a variety of flying birds.
The three-month-long elemental tidal storm has devastated the entire Horn of Despair, but this naturally occurring natural disaster is also an opportunity for creatures to evolve.
The chaotic energy and various sudden situations make the creatures suffer while being hit, but also have to increase the strength of their bodies, accept this natural disaster-like baptism, and give birth to new life forms while some species disappear.
After leaving the porcelain village, Raymond passed through desolate hills, lush forests, and mountains along the way, and finally arrived at the vast desert plain in front of him.
The Great Plains, baptized by elemental tidal storms, is inhabited by humans, orcs, and a small number of gnomes.
These races live and farm the Great Plains, and enjoy the security provided by the Rook Castle while being ruled by the Rook Castle.
The golden wheat fields are approaching harvest season, and the convoy led by Reginaud is greeted by the local villages as soon as they enter the area.
And the trolls that look hideous and terrifying are for the creatures that live on the Great Plains. It's to provide them with a safe guardian.
"Lord Raymond, after entering here, the contact of the magic ghost has returned to normal," Reginord, who was following the carriage, noticed that Raymond was a little absent-minded, and said the point with a light cough. "Viara-sama will hold a grand welcome ceremony for you, and I hope you enjoy ......"
It was tempting to politely refuse, but considering the friendliness that Viara Witch had always shown, Raymond finally acquiesced. "Mistress Viara is so kind. ”
Sensing that Raymond had lost interest in talking, Reginod nodded knowingly and sped up, quickly leaving Raymond's carriage and rushing to the front of the convoy.
Raymond reached out to close the side window. After casually casting an isolation force field, the inside and outside of the carriage were isolated.
Raymond, who lowered his head, picked up the wooden box placed next to him and placed it on the low table in front of him, and then carefully opened the lid of the box.
Anita, a porcelain girl curled up in a wooden box, leaned sideways and used her hands as pillows. His face was ruddy, and he was sleeping soundly.
There was a touch of helplessness in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly. "One slept is three days. What the hell happened to her. It seems that stubbornness is the right synonym for stubbornness......"
Raymond, whose pupils flashed with red dots, gave instructions to the chip after turning on the chip detection function. "Detect Anita's status!"
"Task Established, Start Analyzing ......"
With the appearance of the stereotypical sound of the chip, a large amount of data began to refresh in Raymond's sight.
Anita, a porcelain girl found in the basement, has already comprehended the first racial talent possessed by the porcelain race. She can make her body bigger or smaller at will.
This racial talent, which surprised Raymond, was a tailor-made ability for Anita, especially after she fused many types of metal, which greatly increased her ability to survive.
It's just the awakening of the talent of the porcelain race. However, the porcelain girl Anita has a problem with drowsiness, causing her to have this situation in front of her, and if she is not woken up, she can sleep peacefully for a week at most.
Raymond, who was staring at the porcelain girl Anita, was a little distracted, but the sound of the chip woke him up. "The task is complete, and the result is as follows......"
Anita: Inorganic life. Strength 3.6, Agility 3.7, Constitution 16.0, Spirit: 4.9, Mana 13.8. Genetic Information: Unknown. Physical condition: Healthy.
Facing Raymond, who came to a conclusion in sight, he was very helpless after taking a long breath.
The results are similar to the results of the last exploration, but Anita's various attributes are still slowly improving, and the speed at which her physique is still improving is still shocking.
But when Anita, a porcelain girl who doesn't need to breathe, sleeps, her life fluctuations almost come to a standstill, and the energy contained in her body is also in a state of condensation, making her as ordinary as a real porcelain doll.
It's just that the mass of more than five hundred kilograms makes her body dense to an incredible level, and according to the judgment of the chip, her body will be able to fully withstand the pure physical attacks of second-level wizards.
Raymond gently poked Raymond with his fingers on the porcelain girl Anita, the touch from his fingertips was still extremely hard, but the cold body was soft and warmed up with the touch of Raymond's fingertips.
A moment later, as Raymond's fingertips ticked under her armpits, a smile appeared on the face of the porcelain girl Anita, followed by Anita, who suddenly clamped her arms tightly, and shouted. "Oh, sir, don't squeak me, it's so itchy......"
Anita, a porcelain girl who was very afraid of itching, twisted her body, her hazy eyes opened, and her small mouth pursed and complained to Raymond. "I've only slept for a while, so let me sleep again......"
"Still sleeping!" Anita, a porcelain girl less than ten centimeters tall, was only slightly longer than Raymond's fingers, but her complaint made Raymond laugh and cry. "It's been three days, and if you go to sleep again, you'll be at the Crow Castle!"
"You're not fooling me, are you?" said Anita, a porcelain girl who sat up as she moved her body in the wooden box, with suspicion in her eyes. "I really haven't been asleep for long, how can it be three days!"
"It's been three weeks since you left the village, and you've been awake for less than a day from beginning to end," Raymond, who carefully pinched Anita's arm, pulled her out of the wooden box and placed her on the low table, and began to interrogate her again. "Today, you must explain the problem of the porcelain village to me clearly!"
Anita, whose little face immediately became bitter, pouted. "My lord, didn't I tell you last time, I'll tell you everything when the next elemental tidal storm comes......"
"The next elemental tidal storm is coming?fifty years later?" A faint anger began to build up in Raymond's body, but looking at Anita who was still nodding with an innocent expression, Raymond took a deep breath before he spoke. "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll pass on my suspicion to Witch Viara and ask her to send someone to check!"
"Your guess?" Anita, the porcelain girl who repeated Raymond's statement, had a look of uneasiness on her face, and the suspicion in her eyes became even thicker, but she quickly piled up a smile on her face. "Oh, then I'm going to listen to your guess......"
The long tail note and forced smile made the cute porcelain girl Anita even more cute, but Raymond who stretched out his finger found that he still couldn't twist her little face with his fingers.
"In less than two days, half of the more than 800 porcelain figures are infants," Raymond, who looked directly into the eyes of the porcelain girl Anita and slowly spoke, carefully observed everything about her. "Then these porcelain figures who can't run far must be near the village......"
Anita, who is not good at disguise, has a hint of surprise in her eyes when she hears the sound, and the smile on her face has become a little stiff.
But Raymond, who suddenly sped up his speech, also said his final guess. "The excavation of the tunnel is very difficult, but the porcelain people built near the lakeshore do not need to breathe or eat, so the best choice is probably the bottom of the lake......
But before Raymond could finish speaking, Anita, who immediately crawled into the wooden box, lay down again, closed her eyes and gave her an answer. "I'm sleepy, I'll keep sleeping!" (To be continued......)
