Chapter 5 Richard, Richard, how can you be addicted
Richard originally thought that the destruction of the Hungry Wolf Gang would have some impact, but to his surprise, apart from some chaos caused by the surrounding gangs dividing up the Hungry Wolf Gang's territory, there was no other noise.

Just when Richard was somewhat puzzled, he read in the newspaper that the New York Police Commissioner had just announced that they had successfully defeated the notorious Hungry Wolf Gang after years of planning, making an indelible contribution to the stability of New York, and calling for more funding for the police department.
I have to say that this director is really a talent.

After dealing with the Hungry Wolf Gang, Richard and Cathaway left the Old City. With the villa contributed by the leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang, he naturally would not live in the Old City anymore.

Once again, thank you for the gift of nature.

This villa is not located in a wealthy area. It is of moderate size. The back of the villa is close to the forest and there is a river next to it. The environment is very good and most of the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods are middle-class.

After Richard got his first pot of gold, he started to purchase a large amount of supplies and then renovated the villa. He needed to build an element array to recover from his injuries and add a layer of protection to the villa.

In the arcanist's cosmic system, all planes, worlds, planets, and everything else are made up of energy and elements.

Even in a low-magic world or a world without magic, an elemental land can be created through transformation and energy conversion, the only difference is the cost.

He now has no money, nor the ability to make an elemental furnace that can provide stable energy, nor can he build an elemental pool, but he can still arrange an elemental land magic circle based on the earth vein nodes.

In the basement.

Click! A soft sound.

On the wide platform, Richard inserted the last silver rod engraved with a large number of runes into the ground vein node, and the high-quality crystal also connected the magic circle nodes on the platform.

The four largest nodes on the platform were inlaid with high-quality topaz, sapphire, emerald and ruby. These four gems, each as big as an egg, cost a lot of money even if they were artificial gems.

The four gems are carved into octahedral shapes, representing the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. In addition, a large number of runes are engraved inside the gems with magic power, giving them a unique beauty and appearing to be integrated into one.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the little magic power in his body to infuse it into the magic circle.

——"Magic power surges!"

hum!
The air vibrated slightly.

Then a glimmer of light appeared, colorful and brilliant, quickly extending along the energy channel on the platform, and finally converging in the center of the stone platform.

After a pause of one or two seconds, all the magic patterns on the stone platform lit up instantly, and the colorful light was visible to the naked eye.

The energy of the elements of earth, water, wind and fire was activated at this moment. The next second, the entire earth seemed to tremble slightly.

A trace of strange energy began to gather. Richard closed his eyes, raised the staff in his hand, and floated into the air under this strange force.

"In my name!"

"Elements obey my commands!"

A complex energy formation appeared around Richard. The entire formation was three-dimensional. In the center of the formation, the rune representing Richard was shining with golden light.

Then a gust of wind appeared in the basement, invisible energy began to gather, the earth veins surged, and wisps of colorful starlight appeared here.

This is not starlight, but the manifestation of elemental energy after it has condensed to a certain concentration. If it continues to condense, it will condense into a liquid state, that is, elemental water. This can only be achieved by building an elemental pool and connecting the elemental plane. After the elemental energy gathers, it quickly spreads to the surroundings and spreads to the entire villa, and the elemental light quickly dissipates.

Richard waved his hand lightly, and the elemental formation that appeared around him dissipated with the wind.

The elemental land magic circle was successfully activated.

The inert elemental energies were activated, and these energies were gathered within the villa, transforming the villa area into an elemental land.

The elemental land is the area where elemental energy is active. It can be found everywhere in the middle and high magic planes. Even in the high magic plane, the entire world is in the state of the elemental land.

But this is not the case in the low-magic plane. The elemental energy is inert and extremely difficult to activate, so special methods must be used.

The elemental land was successfully built, and an active energy enveloped it. The elemental land built by Richard was not large, but it had abundant energy, which had a 30% bonus effect on his meditation and could reduce the difficulty and consumption of casting spells.

A large amount of elemental energy poured into the elemental land, and Richard's originally dried up magic power began to slowly recover.

"It's so comfortable!" Richard said with an intoxicated look on his face.

Areas rich in elements are very beneficial to the human body, especially for spellcasters, making them feel like fish in water. The abundance of elements is also very helpful for Richard to recover from his injuries.

This time, building the elemental land helped him recover from his injuries a little. The most significant thing was that his spellcasting ability recovered a little. He can cast spells up to the third level. At the same time, if he continues to recover, his source sea and magic power continue to recover, he will be able to cast fifth-level spells.

The restoration of his spellcasting ability can also speed up his recovery from injuries.

Until now, he finally had some ability to protect himself.

After the construction of the Elemental Land was completed, Richard began to build some defense and warning magic circles. Gold, silver, copper, iron, various gems, marble, etc. were scattered like water.

Fortunately, in this modern society with advanced industry, as long as he has money, he can quickly get all the materials he needs. If there is a disadvantage, it is that it is expensive. The hundreds of thousands of dollars in his hand were spent in a blink of an eye.

In this way, a set of protective magic circle was barely established. Without his permission, ordinary people could not get close to here, and ordinary people would subconsciously ignore this place.

During this time, after learning to control her own power, Cathaway went back to being a reporter. After all, the Banshee of Vanser also needs to eat.

The photos she took not only helped her get a permanent job, but also won her a commendation, and even the New York Police Department rewarded her - after all, the photos she brought gave the police more evidence.

Although Catherine had left, she would come to Richard every few days after tasting the sweetness of her past. Richard always responded to Catherine's requests.

Every time they arrive, a fierce battle is bound to break out between the two.

The characteristics of the Vanser Banshee also quickly manifested themselves in her.

The most intuitive manifestation is that her figure is getting better and better. The heavy chest is full and round, the body curves are amazing, the skin is smooth and delicate, and there is no flaw in her long legs.

Of course, after each session, Richard would confess: Richard, Richard, you need to recover your strength and build a floating city, how can you indulge yourself? From tomorrow on, work hard!
The next day, nothing happened today.
