Chapter 251: Red Star Empress
After thinking for a moment, Richard ultimately stored it in the Dragon Hall, feeling that it was too valuable to be kept in his Storage Artifact.
Richard then walked to the door, planning to leave now since the Great Ancestor Crimson had told him to leave immediately.
He probably didn’t want Richard to disturb the life of his granddaughter, who was clearly too fond of him.
After walking for a while from the inn, Richard saw Luke leaning against a tree.
He looked at him, and they stared at each other.
Of course, Richard smiled at him, which made Luke look uncomfortable.
"Don’t worry, I will leave now, and you won’t see me again for a while," Richard said.
Luke looked very shocked when he heard that.
He stared at Richard from top to bottom.
"Don’t tell me you—?"
"I already got what I wanted," Richard said, knowing what Luke wanted to know.
The man’s eyes immediately widened.
"How is that possible?" he said.
"The Great Ancestor Crimson personally gave it to me... I even got it for free... Hahaha... Luke, I suggest you try to befriend me instead of opposing me!"
Richard quickened his steps after saying that.
He went down the mountain alone in a relaxed manner.
No one stopped him along the way, and no one bothered him.
Of course, Richard didn’t believe that Charles had stopped opposing him.
It was just that he practically didn’t dare to do anything here.
Richard really wanted to meet the White Ancestor as soon as possible, so he left the city and started flying with his flying vessel.
As far as he could observe, the Red Star Empress was not here.
Richard couldn’t guess where she had gone anymore, and it might be difficult to find her.
But, as he continued his journey back, he saw the Red Star Empress’s carriage.
Spontaneously, he stopped his flying vessel.
The carriage was at the foot of a mountain, and indeed there were many carriages or flying vessels there.
However, only servants were present there.
The owners seemed to be on the mountain, which even had stairs along every path, while at the peak of the mountain there was a large castle that looked old but still very good.
Richard wondered who the owner of this castle was to be so exclusive, standing on top of a mountain and visited by many people.
He descended to the foot of the mountain, instantly attracting the servants’ attention.
Richard saw a maid at the Red Star Empress’s carriage.
The maid seemed to recognize him, so Richard approached her.
"Y-Your Majesty!" The maid looked nervous in front of him, greeting him with trembling hands.
"Is the Empress there?" Richard asked.
"Yes..." The maid nodded.
"What exactly is there? Who owns that castle?" Richard asked again.
"A great Weapon Forger. People usually ask for his help to forge or upgrade their weapons," the maid answered.
"Ohhh..."
Richard didn’t expect it to be a place like this.
He had never thought about Weapon Forgers because so far, he only bought weapons, even Tier 6 weapons.
"Has the Empress been there for a long time?" Richard asked again.
"Two days already. They queue and have to pay more if they want to be prioritized. That Weapon Forger has a lot of work. Most people only ask help from his disciples..." the maid explained.
After hearing that, Richard immediately climbed the mountain through the stairway.
He walked quickly until he reached the peak.
The castle turned out to have many guards. However, they were not humans. They were wooden puppets that looked alive.
Expressionless, they seemed not to care who came or went.
Before Richard entered, suddenly a blonde woman came out of the castle.
She looked elegant with her hair neatly tied up and wearing a white dress that was neither tight nor loose.
Elena.
Richard was surprised to see her here.
She was the woman Luke had approached.
"Richard!" The woman was also surprised to see Richard.
"What are you doing here? Do you also want to make a weapon?" she asked.
"No, I want to meet a friend who wants to make a weapon. How about you?" Richard replied.
"I’m already done, just now... Actually, this weapon forger is my uncle." Elena laughed as she answered.
"Uncle?" Richard rolled his eyes.
"By the way, has your friend been here for a long time?" Elena asked.
"Two days," Richard answered.
"Oh..." Elena looked a little surprised to hear that.
"Actually, making weapons doesn’t take that long for my uncle as long as it’s Tier 6 and below... But he does have a habit of slowing down work for people who are not acquaintances unless they pay more."
"It seems I have to help my friend pay more..." Richard smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, Elena spoke in a hurry. "No, let me talk to my uncle. He will definitely finish your weapon immediately."
"Is that okay?" Richard asked.
"It’s fine. My uncle won’t refuse me. Come on, let’s go inside, let’s find your friend first!"
Elena invited Richard inside.
They entered the castle, which had a spacious living room with many tables and sofas.
The guests were waiting there.
Richard immediately saw the Red Star Empress sitting at the back, right next to a window.
A handsome man seemed to be talking to her, but the Red Star Empress seemed to be focused only on the orange juice in her cup.
She only nodded and spoke a short word as a response.
Richard didn’t know who the man was.
He walked directly toward the Red Star Empress.
"Richard, is that woman?" Elena asked because Richard’s gaze was fixed on the Red Star Empress.
"Yes, she is the Red Star Empress, the wife of the king of the Holy Star Kingdom who has passed away. When I was a child, she helped me a lot," Richard answered.
Facing the opposite direction, the Red Star Empress didn’t notice Richard’s arrival until he was close enough.
She spontaneously shifted her gaze backward when she felt someone approaching and instantly froze when she saw that it was Richard.
"Your Majesty!" Richard greeted her with a smile.
The Red Star Empress immediately stood up.
"Richard, why are you here?" she asked and looked at Elena curiously, as if wanting to know who this other woman beside Richard was.
"I happened to pass by. I just came from the Order of the Crimson Veil and saw your carriage below, so I stopped by. I asked your maid and learned that you wanted to make a weapon, but after two days of waiting, your weapon still hasn’t been made. That’s why I came..." Richard explained.
The Red Star Empress was a bit stunned hearing all of that.
"What were you doing in the Order of the Crimson Veil?" she asked.
Of course, that made her even more curious because Richard, after all, had many hostilities with their members, so how could he go there?
"Just handling a small matter," Richard replied casually.
"By the way, this is Elena, she is the niece of the Weapon Forger," he added.
"Greetings!" Elena greeted the Red Star Empress politely.
"Wait here, I will meet my uncle and ask him to finish your weapon immediately," Elena said before going to the stairs leading to the upper floor.
