857 Chapter 507: Player Confrontation, Expansion Pack [4/5]
At this moment, Adele pursed her lips and worriedly watched over Emily.
The helpless Adele finally found someone to rely on when she saw Richard.
She quickly walked forward and hugged his arm as she agitatedly spoke.
“Lord Richard, Emily suddenly fainted… We can’t determine the reason.
“But the golden inscription on her wrist has been burning. We guessed that it had something to do with this!!”
Richard sensed the stable life force of the little centaur. The fret in his eyes subsided.
He looked at Adele’s uneasy expression. He patted her head to calm down.
“Adele, calm down first. I’m here…”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and glanced at the middle-aged woman. She was a slightly famous doctor in the territory and a C-rank lifestyle hero.
“Did you find anything unusual?”
“Lord, there is no…”
The middle-aged woman’s tone was sparingly downcast. Richard was visibly a little upset about this.
Richard nodded and said nothing more. He looked at the centaur’s exposed arm, and his gaze halted on the golden rune.
He sensed it carefully and traced a special aura it emitted. It gave off a feeling that made one’s heart erratically palpitate.
This rune was the key to suppressing the gods in Vermin, the land of broken laws.
The treasure that suppressed that god was a fragment of a divine artifact.
Previously, when he had used Emiliy’s blood to decode the seal in Xina’s body, the lady warrior obtained Emily’s memories.
He got a little information from Xina.
Richard collected his thoughts and tried to enter the rune with his spiritual power.
However, it was as if he had hit a wall, and something must have blocked him.
He couldn’t go deeper.
He frowned and opened the system panel.
However, a simple message appeared on it.
[Emily]
[Status: Unconscious]
He couldn’t even see her attributes and level.
Richard’s heart sank, and he opened the Black Gold System.
Only then did more detailed attributes appear.
[Emily (Centaur)]
[Status: Soul missing. An unknown potent power currently decomposes the soul. The corrosion will destroy her soul and control her body following a complete process.]
[1. Inject the power of the undead into it to increase the speed of corrosion.]
[2. Inject the power of the non-undead to protect the soul and prevent the unknown power from absolute control.]
“An unknown power is corroding Emily?”
Richard’s eyes gazed dangerously.
The killing intent on his body caused the surrounding space to turn cold.
Adele and the middle-aged woman only felt a vast rock that weighed a thousand jin pressed against their chests, and pressure heavily wrestled with their breathing.
Richard quickly locked onto the mastermind behind the scenes–the god trapped in Vermin, the land of broken laws.
Emily lost her soul fragment here.
This inscription was the key to suppressing that god! It couldn’t be such a coincidence!
A god’s soul fragment that was nothing but a dog’s fart had just recovered some of its strength, and it wanted to cause trouble?
“Did he think the Twilight City City of Dusk was a pushover?”
Richard took out the ancient god statue, and endless dark power surged from his body.
It enveloped Emily in an instant.
A moment later.
A piercing scream suddenly reverberated in Richard’s ears.
Then, a crack appeared.
A figure that looked like a broken glass ensued.
A remarkable energy fluctuation surged from the little centaur’s body, and its pale face quickly turned red.
Richard turned on the Black Gold System. He ensured Emily’s complete safety and took the ancient god statue back.
“Adele, I have dispelled the power that enveloped Emily. She is temporarily safe now.
“You stay here and take care of her. I’m going to Vermin, the land of broken laws.
“Emily left a portion of her soul fragment there. Something must have revived the god she once guarded there. Emily’s sudden faint was closely related to this god. I needed to fix the mess at once.”
Adele’s heart tightened after Richard explained in a few words.
“Related to the gods again?”
“Lord, I want to help!”
Richard said slowly, “Please stay in the city and be safe.”
He rubbed Adele’s head and stared at the unconscious little centaur lying on the carpet.
Richard unhesitantly turned around and left afterward.
Adele subconsciously reached out her hand like she wanted to grab something, but her hand froze mid-air while she watched Richard’s disappearing back.
She was in a daze.
After a long time, Adele turned her head and looked at Emily while she lay.
At this moment, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
She was a blacksmith. Her battle ability couldn’t be as good as a level 10 hero, although she had already reached level 15.
She couldn’t help with the gods.
Emily fell into a coma. She was not a doctor, so she couldn’t also help.
The people around her needed help. But she couldn’t do anything. This feeling made Adele ponder for a long time.
Her five fingers clenched into fists.
“Father, maybe it’s time to make bolder attempts and control those forbidden things.
“The descendants of the Thorin Family couldn’t be a burden!
“I desire to protect Lord Richard and everyone around me!!”

Richard went downstairs and opened the stats panel of the lairs.
The lairs refresh each Monday.
The month duration in the “Shining Era” was odd. Each month has 28 days which means four weeks.
The 1st day of each month was always Monday.
It was already January 3rd. Karu had already recruited all the production for the week when Richard entered the Naga Plane to fight.
