Returning to the courtyard, Richard carefully reviewed the materials Sherlock had provided and gained a detailed understanding of the Ancestral Spirit Society's situation.
He could basically confirm that Male Wizard Barry had not lied. The plan to borrow the "Blood Codex" could proceed.
Without further ado, Richard turned and entered Eden Garden.
Stepping into the Main Laboratory within Eden Garden, Richard quickly swept his gaze around and, finding no sign of Barry, paused in slight surprise.
He remembered clearly that he had left the man here before departing. Now that he was gone, could he have run off? That really would be brave... Richard could not help but sigh. It seems he still doesn't fully understand Eden Garden. According to Richard's original plan, as long as the man remained in the Main Laboratory and did not run around, nothing serious would happen.
But once he left the Main Laboratory, things became much harder to predict.
After all, whether it was Lich Old Man A Fu or Eight-Armed Skeleton A Nan, either of them could make him wish he were dead if they got angry.
And that was nothing. The worst possibility was offending Pandora.
Although Pandora had become more sensible as she learned, once she truly got angry, no one could stop her.
With that thought, Richard grew slightly concerned. Could Barry have lost his life in Eden Garden just as I decided to borrow the "Blood Codex" from the Ancestral Spirit Society? Without Barry, this key figure, it was not that borrowing the "Blood Codex" would be completely impossible, but it certainly would not go as smoothly as he hoped.
To give the simplest example, without Barry to lead the way, Richard did not even know where exactly the "Blood Codex" was hidden within the Ancestral Spirit Society Headquarters.
