Chapter 49: A Collection That All Arcanists Envy

Richard was determined to obtain the Saint Vangansas Contract, and only with this contract could he have enough high-level soul crystals. As for the confrontation with the devil of hell, he was very familiar with it.

Because of the barrier problem, the lords, high-level devils or high-level demons of Hell cannot come here in their true form. They can only come to Blue Star in the form of clones or possessed bodies.

If they really find Richard, that would be great! Thanks to the gift of nature, being able to obtain a soul crystal with Mephisto's autograph is definitely a top collection that all arcanists envy - [Mephisto's Soul Crystal].

Richard will prepare a separate exhibition hall for him, which will definitely be placed in the most conspicuous position.

When he thought of this, he became eager to try it out. He had just completed the Guardian Golem, so he would use it to test its actual combat capabilities.

Since there is no news about the St. Gonzales Covenant for the time being, Richard plans to go look for the locations of some ghost stories or legends circulating in the Lighthouse Country.

If he was lucky and these legends and ghost stories were true, he might be able to get a few more soul crystals. It didn't have to be very good, as long as it could reach the intermediate level of soul crystals, it would be worth it.

Intermediate Soul Crystals can be used to create rock golems, such as granite golems and obsidian golems, which are quite powerful. Even if they are used to create golems, they are also good for casting wish spells.

When making a wish, in addition to consuming gold and magic gems, it also consumes soul energy. For Richard, the more soul crystals, the better.

Richard gave Cathaway, Madison, and Irina some homework, and then set out to the nearest location of the paranormal activity.

The nearest one is near New York. The source of the information is his Anomalous Affairs Office, and someone commissioned him to find that person.

The location is a remote town in New York State. There are always some people who have nothing to do after eating and like to go on adventures and camp in some places that are said to have supernatural beings, as if only in this way can they show their extraordinaryness.

Then it was cold.

If it weren't for the search for high-level soul crystals, Richard would have wanted to close the firm long ago. After all, he already had a sufficient source of wealth, and he no longer cared about the small amount of money from the firm. The task was not difficult, but it was a waste of time.

Richard looked at the collected information. These people went to a town with the legend of the headless knight to explore whether the headless knight existed. As expected, an accident happened after they went there, and these people soon lost contact.

The father of one of the girls was a wealthy man. After his daughter went missing, he immediately hired people to look for her. However, after two groups of people went to look for her, they still couldn't find her. So they found Richard's Abnormal Affairs Office.

As for these people who are courting death, Li Cha felt that they were asking for trouble. It just so happened that Li Cha was about to go find a high-level soul crystal, so he took one million and went to take a look.

Anka town.

It was once a prosperous town, but with the development of the times, a factory that was the town's economic pillar went bankrupt, and the town quickly declined. People in the town left one after another to find new jobs, so the town began to be deserted and the number of permanent residents decreased.

Such a small town is very suitable for some urban legends. At some point, the legend of the headless horseman spread in the town. Ironically, after this legend, some young people came to visit.

As night fell, Richard finally arrived at the town, but he did not enter the town. Those people disappeared on a small road outside the town, and he planned to go directly to that road.

Richard took out a set of clothes, which he had specially asked the rich man for. They were the clothes that the missing people often wore. Then he absorbed the breath from the clothes and cast a spell to search. A flash of light flashed, and after swallowing the breath, the next second the light turned into an arrow and flew directly to the woods not far away. Richard followed closely, and soon he came to the depths of the woods, and then saw several tents not far away.

When we arrived near the tent, the campfire had gone out. A headless corpse was lying not far from the tent, with blood all over the ground.

Richard checked and found that the body had been dead for a day, and there were panicked footprints all around. Seeing this, Richard was ready to summon the dead soul to ask, but after casting the spell, he found that the soul of the corpse had disappeared.

Generally speaking, even after an ordinary person dies, their soul will still exist for some time, and will enter the underworld after about seven days. When summoning, if there is a corpse as a medium, its soul can be summoned.

But the corpse in front of him did not react at all after Richard cast the spell.

Without a soul, Richard continued to let the arrows search for the missing people, and soon the arrows flew deep into the jungle.

Along the way, Richard found two more headless bodies. Like the first one, these two bodies also had no souls. Richard walked forward for a while, and suddenly fog appeared in the forest in front of him.

Richard could clearly sense the strong negative energy in the fog, and the fog could make people lose their way and block all kinds of signals. Once ordinary people entered, they would never be able to get out.

It was obvious that his target lay within these mists.

Richard casually cast a protection against evil on himself and went directly into the foggy forest. The fog had no effect on him and he soon found his target.

Ta-da-da, the sound of horse hooves rang out, followed by the tall figure of a headless knight appearing in the thick fog.

Zoe, hiding in the tree, tried to curl herself up behind the trunk, and kept praying for God's blessing and the Virgin Mary's blessing. She swore in her heart that as long as she could leave alive, she would never come here to seek death again.

However, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and she seemed to be able to sense that the monster was wandering under the tree. She didn't know how long it had been, maybe an hour, maybe a second, the monster wandered around under the tree and then left.

Seeing the monster leave, Zoe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as her tense body relaxed.

Suddenly, the branch broke and a headless knight appeared under the tree.

"what!"

Zoe screamed in fear and threw the stone in her hand subconsciously, then jumped down from the other side of the tree and ran away. The stone hit the headless knight and went straight through him. Then the headless knight drove his horse and chased after him in an instant.

The trees and vines in the forest had no effect on the Headless Knight, but in the blink of an eye, he was behind Zoe, and the bloodstained pipe axe in his hand swept towards Zoe's head, trying to chop off her head.
