The extravagant and rather large beast cart entered Black Rock Town on the fifteenth day after the resumption of its journey.

The dull sound of the six-legged beast's hooves broke the silence of the town, and the old sentry, because he lived at the entrance of the town, relaxed when he saw the sign belonging to the Red Rock Fort on the beast's cart through the window, yawned and stretched, and then went back to the still hot bed, and quickly fell asleep.

There are many routes from Red Rock Fort to the bustling cities of the Underworld, but there are very few that choose to travel through Black Rock Town.

The Underworld is a vast area, and if the cities created by humans are connected one by one, you can find that these cities belong to the nodes of two parallel lines, and the distance between each two cities is roughly the same, as if the cities were first built after sketching a map.

On the outskirts of these large cities, there are scattered small towns or villages, these gathering places do not have the ability to defend, but only serve the purpose of vigilance and commercial communication, and as soon as the war starts, they will be abandoned immediately, so many towns appear dilapidated and decadent.

The old sentry who was fleeting in the window made the old Mide crack his mouth and laugh silently, and then continued his introduction. "Black Rock is one such town, although this place has been abandoned for decades, because there are still some black dwarves who occasionally enter the town to sell, so this place has not been completely abandoned......"

Raymond, who was sitting next to the old master, had released his perception long before entering the town, and he clearly knew that there were only a dozen guards stationed here, most of them were old and decrepit, and the wooden house was empty, and although there were hundreds of residents still here, they were all sleeping soundly in the wooden house. Alertness is quite low.

After several days of continuous drizzle, moss grew in the neck folds of the six-legged beast beneath him, and according to the original plan, after passing through the town of Black Rock, it would turn northeast, and in two months, it would arrive at a medium-sized city called Nice City, where it could use the teleportation talisman created between the cities to make a quick journey.

It's just that Sarah, the astrologer, is hiding in the carriage and no longer has any opinion on the itinerary, so all the questions about the journey now need to be decided by Raymond.

There are three major zones in the Underground Plane, and each of them has different policies.

Red Rock Fort is facing the front line controlled by the Abyssal Plane Terran Alliance, and it is currently in a period of peace with each other, and there is no war at all.

And the secluded canyon for the abyssal monsters. There is a fierce confrontation all year round, and there are many middle and high-level wizards in the garrison troops, and it is the area where the eyes of the Underworld Council are concerned.

The other karst defense line is in a situation where the two sides are intertwined and infiltrated by each other, and it is known for its mystery and difficult for outsiders to know about the situation.

Before the previous conflict with the astrologer Sarah. All of this information had been obtained from her, and now it was only rumors that could be heard from the old master. So Raymond, who soon lost his interest in talking, made the decision to go directly to the city of Nice.

There is no point in staying in this dilapidated town. When the six-legged beast crossed the only street in the town, it took some reluctant steps and set out on the journey again.

Raymond, who returned to the carriage, turned her gaze to the corner of the carriage, where the barrier set up by the astrologer Sara had made it her world, and Scar and Freya, who were tired of being together. But it occupies the middle of the carriage, and it will not come out of the curtain until the meal is served.

The tableware on the long table has been taken away, but a steaming hot drink has been placed in its place.

Raymond, who has not fully recovered from his own injuries. The expression on his face softened, and after drinking the cup of hot drink he had prepared for him, he walked to the back of the carriage, and after entering the protective talisman array he had set up, he quickly entered meditation.

His injuries were exacerbated by the strangeness of the girl's streamside diagram, so much so that the energy he had accumulated in the abyssal plane was exhausted.

However, the power of the Phantom Festival and the difficulty of its study have exceeded Raymond's imagination time and time again, but it has also made his journey no longer monotonous.

The wide open windows allow the rain from outside to pour in, and the free energy attracted by Raymond continues to pour in.

Raymond, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, was currently suffering from injuries in his body that were getting worse and worse, but the Phantom Festival he was studying was about to enter the second level.

Twenty-four runes, after being simulated by Raymond's invocation of internal energy, will permanently enter the core area of his memory and become part of his strength.

Time passed slowly, and Raymond, who was immersed in the memory of the runes, almost all of the free energy he drew from the outside world was consumed on it, and his progress was quite fast without distraction.

His eyes were closed as if he were asleep, but in fact, in his already expanded sea of consciousness, there was a heap of energy.

The only crystallization of spiritual power makes this space reflected by the dark brilliance, and every time Raymond masters a new rune, there will be an inexplicable effect in his sea of consciousness, and under the circumstances that he himself cannot perceive, his sea of consciousness is still constantly expanding outward.

Time passed slowly, and the route he chose had not been passed by travelers for a long time, so the concentration of free energy far exceeded that of other regions, and the pure free energy made it easier for Raymond to master the new runes in the Phantom Festival.

More than a dozen days later......

When he finally completed the memory of the six runes, he awoke from his meditation.

Sitting in one position for a long time made his bones rust all over his body, and he could hear the subtle sound in the cracks of his bones when he moved slightly.

The rain outside the window was still the same, but the fresh air that penetrated the outer edge of the rune array and came to him still lifted his spirits.

Slowly getting up, soothing his stiff body, Raymond, who was very satisfied with the results of his efforts during this time, realized that his stomach was empty.

After stepping out of the talisman array, Raymond soon saw Freya, the dark elf who was serving the freshly cooked food, and Scar, who was happy but was already sitting at the table with a knife and fork in his hand.

The four sets of cutlery had been arranged, and Raymond, who had said hello to the two, sat down, and after sending the dark elf Freya to the meal in front of him to eat it all, he let out a comfortable sigh as he stroked his slightly swollen belly.

Freya, the dark elf who was busy because of the horror of Raymond's appetite, wiped the sweat that didn't exist after bringing him a steaming drink, and sat down with a smile to speak. "Lord Raymond, you didn't seem to like this ingredient yesterday......

Scar, who was sitting opposite Raymond, also said with a surprised smile. "yes, yes, or is Freya's cooking more palatable today?"

Raymond, who had just picked up the cup of hot drink, was suffocated and his pupils shrunk. "Yesterday, didn't I eat that much before?"

"yes, you didn't have dinner with us yesterday, but when you cleaned up later, you still had more than half of the smoked meat left on your plate, and I thought you didn't like it......"

Smile and sit down with a dark elf Freya, but when she said this, she noticed that Raymond's expression was a little wrong, and her eyes flashed with confusion.

Glancing at Scar on the other side, Raymond put the hot drink in his hand on the table, but his eyes were focused on the corner where the astrologer Sara was, and slowly spoke. "Sara, has she eaten a lot these days?"

"No, she asked a week ago to only prepare breakfast and lunch for her, and since you don't know how to eat on time, she always ...... with us."

Hearing this, Raymond's heart tightened, and the palm holding the teacup couldn't help but exert force in vain.

There was a crunch sound.

The cup with the hot drink shattered instantly, and the hot air rose up to obscure everyone's view...... (To be continued......)
