The wizard starts with the get inspiration panel

Chapter 246 Booty

"Stop! Stop Richard, I am also a teacher of the Ignis School."

Seeing this situation, Raymond anxiously waved the seal ring in his hand and signaled to Richard, who was still hiding in the forest.

"I was just passing by here, and I saw a fire suddenly burning here in the sky, so I came to take a look."

Although Richard was also experienced in many battles, this was the first time he met such a shameless guy like Raymond.

Richard was dumbfounded that such words could be said.

"What kind of nonsense is this! If you tell me what Ta Ma said, you probably won't even believe it!"

For this kind of person, Richard didn't even have the desire to talk to him. It was just a waste of time.

In response to Raymond, Richard used mental shocks and death rays one after another!

"Boom!"

The continuous long-range witchcraft attacks immediately left Raymond scrambling. Every protective witchcraft he cast was destroyed by Richard's rapid attacks.

Looking at the two undead summons that were about to rush forward, Raymond looked horrified and said:

"Richard, believe me! It was not my person who wanted to kill you just now, it was Gildarts! It was Gildarts of the North Ring!"

It seems that no matter which world you are in, there are mostly people who are dead Taoists but not poor Taoists.

Raymond, anxious, immediately sold Gildas.

But unfortunately, although Richard heard it, he still had no intention of stopping.

"Whoa!"

Raymond couldn't dodge, and a thick black chain wrapped around his ankle, causing his movements to freeze instantly.

"Pfft!"

A black beam shot out from the woods and pierced Raymond's heart.

"Pfft!"

At this time, Raymond fell to the ground, his eyes had lost focus, but his mouth was still murmuring:

"It's really not the assassin I contacted."

Seeing that the opponent had been killed by him, Richard slowly walked out of the forest.

Arriving in front of the dead Raymond, Richard began to search through the pages.

"There's no tracking mark or anything like that? That's right. The other party is already a first-level high-level wizard, so there's no point in setting a tracking mark."

When he was on the surface before, most of the second- and third-level wizard apprentices that Richard killed seemed to be "seed players" who could be promoted to wizards, so they were tracked by major forces, families, or mentors.

But when the objects he killed reached the level of a first-level high-level wizard, they no longer had tracking marks.

It seems to be because at this level, if someone still kills someone, even the family or academy behind it will find it difficult to take revenge. At the same time, formal wizards generally have ways to eliminate tracking marks.

This actually saved Richard a lot of trouble!

Richard dug out an ancient parchment roll, several bottles of potions, a bag of magic stones, a letter and a palm-sized bone sign from the opponent's pocket.

Richard first opened the bag of magic stones and saw that there were ten high-level magic stones, more than thirty intermediate magic stones, and hundreds of ordinary magic stones.

"Hey! There are so many magic stones. It seems that this guy's identity is not simple."

Putting the magic stones into different categories in his bag, plus the profit from killing the assassin who had just killed the Hand of Death, Richard's harvest from this trip alone was quite large from the magic stones.

After sorting out the magic stones, Richard picked up the letter.

The letter had been opened. Richard took out the letter and looked at it with a stern look on his face. This letter was written by his old acquaintance Gildas to a man named Raymond Soto.

Obviously, the corpse under his feet is most likely Raymond Soto.

Although Richard didn't know this Raymond, his surname was Soto, which immediately made Richard think of something.

"The Soto family"

Gildas wrote two things in the letter: First, he was dissatisfied with the Soto family for not taking direct action against him.The second is to let Raymond track his whereabouts.

Seeing this, Richard somewhat believed what Raymond had just said. The assassin of the Hand of Death was probably not sent by him, but by Gildas.

but
"It's a pity that I found out a little late. Otherwise, after being captured alive and returning to the Ignis School, I could still blackmail the Soto family."

"If the other party doesn't agree, you can choose to expose this matter. In that case, the Soto family will not be able to get away with the matter of cheating and collaborating with the Ring of North to murder the new genius wizard of their school."

After thinking about it, Richard carefully put the letter away and turned his attention to the dominoes.

The dominoes were all white, and when Richard held them, they felt as warm and moist as jade, but after careful examination, he found that they were indeed made of the bones of some kind of creature, not jade products.

The light blue lines on the surface of the domino clearly outline the head of a bird. At the same time, the lines flicker brightly and dimly.

Looking at the shape of this bird's head, Richard immediately thought of the flying mount that Raymond just rode.

The shape is similar and lifelike.

Richard's face moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he realized that this should be the domino used to control the flying mount.

He had heard that for some ferocious mounts, wizards would try their best to prevent the mounts from rioting or getting out of control, so they would make special witchcraft props or weapons, and inscribe special witch formations on them to control the mounts.

Most land mounts and general flying mounts do not use dominoes.

For example, Richard's giant nocturnal bat is an extraordinary evolution from ordinary nocturnal bats. It has a docile personality. Therefore, it only needs a few months of training by an experienced animal trainer before it can be ridden with confidence.

However, swamp dragons, hippogryphs, etc., such highly aggressive extraordinary raptors, cannot be tamed in a short period of time.

Sure enough, after groping for a while, Richard understood the control method.

As he sank a ray of spiritual power into the dominoes, soon, bursts of bird song sounded in the sky.

The big bird that originally belonged to Raymond now flapped its wings and slowly landed next to Richard.

I saw the big bird standing on the ground, almost a head shorter than Richard. The feathers on its body were fine and intertwined with blue and green, which was considered gorgeous.

The bird's head is shaped like an eagle, but there is a ring of independent, palm-sized feathers behind the head, which is like a peacock's tail.

There is also a branding pattern on the bird's chest, which is exactly the same as the pattern on the domino.

"This appears to be a hippogryph."

After carefully observing the appearance of the big bird, Richard quickly recognized the other person's name and origin, and couldn't help but feel happy.

When an adult hippogryph is flying, it will always have a natural talent - cyclone, which can spontaneously separate the high-speed surging airflow to both sides, making it much more comfortable to ride than other flying mounts. , the flight speed is also greatly accelerated.

Therefore, its flight speed is at least [-]% faster than the giant nocturnal bat, and its combat power is much higher than that of the giant nocturnal bat.According to book records, adult hippogryphs are extraordinary raptors that can compete with swamp dragons.

Richard jumped directly onto the hippogryph and circled around with a look of joy on his face. The airflow spontaneously dispersed to both sides of the hippogryph. No wonder it was more comfortable and faster when flying at high speed.

Obviously, if you use the hippogryph to travel by yourself, you will save a lot of time.

Controlling the hippogryph to land again, Richard came to the giant night-flying bat, took off his luggage, placed it on both sides of the hippogryph and fixed it in place.

Richard had decided to give up on the giant night bat that Raymond had manipulated in some way.

After securing his luggage, Richard quickly controlled the hippogryph and flew rapidly towards the city of griffons, Pandos.

After flying for several hours.

Richard found a secluded dense forest and landed.

As night falls, a faint mist rises from the entire forest, making it look like a dream under the weak moonlight.

Richard built a bonfire, inserted a few bent branches randomly around it, and hung some processed game on the branches, and then it was roasting.

After eating, Richard took out the simple parchment roll.

After untying the rope and unfolding the parchment, a map came into view.

There is a big red cross in the center of the entire map.

The red dot is located halfway up a mountain peak, surrounded by continuous mountains and forests, and there is a river shape below the forest.

This map with no beginning or end immediately made Richard frown.

There are not a hundred places with this kind of terrain in Baisos continent, but there are fifty places, and what the red cross means is completely unknown.

"Raymond was so attached to this map and carried it with him. Obviously, the location marked by the red dots and crosses on the map must have some important meaning to him."

"Is it a family treasure? No, it shouldn't be."

After thinking for a moment, Richard suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.

He remembered one thing. According to records, ancient wizards seemed to like to do some tricks when it came to keeping maps secret.

Could it be that this map is too?
So, Richard tried rolling up this ancient sheepskin one by one using smoke, fire, moonlight, developing chemicals and other methods.

After using the developing agent, Richard discovered that there were suddenly a few small words on the side of the forest. After a closer look, he saw that these were small words marked in the Hittite language - Ivers Forest.

Next to the red cross, there are also a few small words marked in Hittite language - the place where the dead live forever.

"Could it be that this is the Ivos Forest at the junction of the Vitroll Continental Business Alliance and the Death Prairie?!"

This immediately shocked Richard.

"And this six-character place where the dead live forever? Such familiar words!"

Immediately, Richard walked quickly to the hippogryph, took off his luggage and started rummaging through it.

Soon, Richard found another parchment roll that he had obtained a long time ago.

Richard quickly opened the parchment and saw that in the center of the parchment, there was a drawing of a continuous high mountain. There was an image of white snow on the top of the mountain. On one side of the mountain, the Bering Mountains were marked in Hittite language. Four big characters.

In the southwest of the Bering Mountains, on a mountain peak close to the core area, there is a large cross. Next to the cross, there are also several small characters in Hittite - the place where the undead live forever.

Although they are both written in the Hittite language, the size of the text will be slightly different if written by different people, but Richard compared it carefully, especially since both maps have the words "Place of Eternal Life for the Undead".

This makes Richard's comparison very convenient and intuitive.

After many comparisons, both the outlining habits and the size of the text are very similar, and it can basically be concluded that they were written by the same person.

Plus the two sensitive place names of Ivers Forest and the Bering Mountains.

Richard was almost certain that what was marked on it was the location of the ruins related to Rodriguez.

At the same time, the newly obtained map can be regarded as proof that the previously obtained map of the Bering Mountains should be the ruins of Rodriguez.

Richard couldn't help feeling excited.

"Meiro knows how to get to Basileus Island in the Summer Sea, and she already has two maps of the Bering Mountains and the Ivos Forest."

"It seems that I have found all three areas in the clues collected by Teacher Seles last time!"

"However, what Mei Luo said last time was very clear. The only captain who knows how to get to Basileus Island in the Summer Sea is currently detained by her uncle. It seems that she must go as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."

"I have a hippogryph. Compared to Mei Luo's land mount, even if I go to the Imperial City, it should be very close to the time when she arrives at the Crab Claw Peninsula."

As for the imperial capital, Richard must go there.

Because apart from that person, Stephana has not had any news so far, which is also very abnormal.

Stephana has renewed ambition?

No, even if she had ambitions and wanted to be free from her own constraints, she would not adopt this silent approach.

He had a vague hunch that something might have happened to Stephana.
-
three days later.

Near Pentos, the city of griffons.

Richard rode on the hippogryph and flew all the way. After a while, a majestic mountain range appeared in Richard's distant vision.

The highest peak of the mountain range is a gray-white main peak, which rises straight into the sky like a sharp sword.

As Richard flew closer and closer, he discovered that there were a large number of houses and buildings on the entire mountain.

Starting from the foot of the mountain and going up, there are densely packed bungalows.

But as the terrain gets higher and higher, the style of the houses becomes more and more beautiful, but the overall color has not changed, and most of the buildings are gray and white.

There is a protruding platform near the top of the mountain, which seems to be used for viewing or landing some kind of large flying mount.

There are several large spire-shaped palaces on the left and right sides of the platform and at the rear.

Richard could see from a distance a few small black spots flying above the palace.

"Presumably that is the characteristic of the city of griffins - griffins, right?"

"If I fly there directly, although I will get a warm reception, it will be too high-profile and will not be conducive to my investigation of Stephana's situation."

After thinking for a while, Richard decided to find a place to land first, and then walked into Pantos to inquire about the situation.

Because just now, Richard tried to contact Stephana through the communication mark on her chest, but there was still no news. This was obviously something wrong.
