Next, Richard stayed in the forest for three days.
During those three days, he mainly eliminated the remaining aberrant creatures and repaired the damaged nuclear material purification production line. Fortunately, because the line carried intense radiation, even though it had once been occupied by the aberrant creatures, they had not deliberately damaged it. Most of the damage had resulted from a lack of maintenance. Otherwise, let alone three days—even three weeks might not have been enough to restore it completely.

After seeing Hai Di off, Richard quickly finished reading the letter and learned that, during the days he had been away, the Female Wizard Circe and her two students had painstakingly searched through nearly all the books in their collection before reluctantly reaching a conclusion.
The Barta Text he had provided—the writing used to record the contents of Barta—was a language that had spread only rarely and was close to having its transmission cut off. It was almost impossible to decipher due to the lack of sufficient reference materials. If they tried to decipher it by force, progress would be extremely slow, and accuracy could not be guaranteed.

One of the books in her collection contained a page that indirectly involved this writing, and that book had been passed down from the Royal Libraries of the Three Great Kingdoms destroyed by the Soma Alliance.
Circe therefore inferred
