Chapter 720: Watchtower

"There's a long path...... Charming bunny ...... behind me."

“...... Jump...... Jump twice ......"

The voice started out as a rich baritone, but soon became the voice of a young boy.

"Jump, jump, what's the mess?" Merlin couldn't help but vomit in her heart.

As the distance approached, the singing became clearer, but the lyrics became more and more messy, and Merlin felt that if she listened to it any more, she might be going to kill someone.

She drove the carriage in the direction from which the song came, and in a short time she saw a young man sawing trees...... Mei Lin pondered that if there was such a passive and ugly employee in her family, she would definitely be killed as soon as possible, but this guy's ability to change his voice was also a stunt.

"Hey, boy, come here. Merlin shouted loudly and slowly stopped the carriage.

The greeting was a little unkind, and the young man seemed to be a little unhappy, wiped a handful of sweat, and after looking at it ignorantly, his face suddenly changed...... He noticed the leather armor on Merlin's body and knew himself

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped singing. Following the voice, he looked over and noticed the colored clothes on Angele's body. His face was slightly stunned, and he quickly let go of the saw and trotted over.

"My lord, what do you command?" the man asked respectfully.

"Does this lead to the Infernal Forest?" Merlin asked.

"Yes, my lord, follow this road all the way, and you will be there in three days, not far, but there are a lot of undead in it, and last time I saw a group of zombies wandering out of it, hacked to death by the knights of Stygian City. The man replied.

"Do you know about the Bermani Spider's Nest?" Merlin asked.

"I don't know," the man shook his head, "but not only are there many undead in the Purgatory Forest, but there are also many large spiders. I heard that there is a stone forest there with a lot of big gray spiders nesting in it. I don't know if it's the Bermani spider's nest you said. ”

"Then please help me mark it on the map. Merlin took out a parchment map and asked the man to mark it roughly.

"By the way, what are you doing here alone, aren't you afraid of the undead attacking?" Merlin asked as she put away the map.

"I'm a hunter, and a small number of undead can handle it. In the next few days I plan to build a wooden house in front of the old watchtower in case I can rest when I go in and out of the forest. ”

The man tapped his finger in front of him: "In front of me is the Mourning River, and there is a wooden bridge over the river, so I am going to build a wooden house near there." ”

Merlin looked in the direction he was pointing...... Through the gaps in the branches, you can see the crumbling watchtower and the wooden bridge not far from the watchtower. At this time, a little boy of eight or nine years old was standing on the bridge and looking this way, with tears still flowing down his face.

This picture ...... It's kind of weird.

Merlin frowned slightly: "Is that kid on the bridge yours? How can you leave him there alone?"

"Kid?"

There was a stunned expression on the man's face: "Where are you? I didn't bring a child here? Adult, you must be mistaken, I, an adult, have to act cautiously here, how can a child be here?"

He looked in the direction of Merlin's finger, a blank look on his face...... When Merlin looked over the bridge again, she saw that the little boy was gone.

Merlin lowered her hand, frowning...... Interesting, what did she just see?

This place is adjacent to the Purgatory Forest, even if there are resentful spirits, it seems to be normal, as for why she should see it...... "Hehe, is it because you have a crush on me?" Merlin sneered

The sky grew darker and darker, and a rumbling thunder slowly sounded among the clouds.

Click!

A flash of lightning flashed by, and the snowy electric light illuminated the entire forest and driveway white.

Merlin asked the hunter again for details, and was about to find a place to shelter from the rain, and the hunter proposed to go to the watchtower, and Merlin nodded in agreement, and drove the carriage with the hunter towards the abandoned wooden watchtower.

"I made a fire in there, and it was warm when the door was closed. The hunter led the way, and turned back.

From time to time, purple lightning flashed in the sky, and everything around was reflected in strange colors from time to time.

Soon, the two of them walked to the place of the wooden watchtower. The place where the watchtower is located is a slope location. The two of them stood at the gate of the watchtower, looking back, and felt much higher than the original place. Merlin casually tied the reins to the trunk of a nearby tree, and the bony horse was not afraid of the rain and did not need to worry about being stolen.

The wooden door of the watchtower is heavy and has a grayish-white color. It seems to have been soaked in rain for too long, and there are some small dry cracks on the surface.

The hunter struggled to open the wooden door: "I only found this place today, it's a pretty good place." ”

After the wooden door was slowly opened, Merlin looked inside. An empty room, nothing, somewhat gloomy, except for a spiral staircase in the corner that winds its way up.

It looks like it's been cleaned, but there's no cobwebs or anything.

There was a bonfire in the middle of the ground, which had been extinguished, and there was no open flame burning, just blue smoke. Slightly choking. But there was still a hint of warmth in the watchtower.

As soon as Merlin came in. I noticed that something was slightly wrong. The cursed scepter disguised as a necklace seemed to emit a strange energy that covered the surface of Merlin's body.

She scanned the room. There are no suspicious signs.

The hunter walked over to the fire, fiddled with it at will, and snorted. The fire suddenly rekindled, and the bright yellow flame suddenly illuminated the entire tower.

"Your Excellency, please be seated. The hunter diligently spread out a gray cloth and laid it over by the fire.

The moment Merlin burned the fire, she suddenly felt that something was wrong in her body slowly dissipated.

She nodded, and walked over to sit cross-legged by the fire.

The hunter also sat down by the fire.

Merlin watched as he expertly prepared to set up the metal rack, and then took the pieces of meat from one of his pockets to prepare for the barbecue. I couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, were you alone in this tower before?"

The hunter nodded: "Yes, I just lit a fire and went out to cut down trees, and here you are." Before, the tower was cold and gloomy. ”

Merlin frowned and stopped talking.

At this time, it had begun to rain heavily.

Hardly anything outside could be seen, only a curtain of white rain. The uproar came one after another. From time to time, it hit the wooden door of the guard tower, making a crackling sound. The sound of the wind leaked through the cracks in the tower, whining like a ghost.
