Chapter 52
The next day, Jane Lu, Hines and Amelia went their separate ways.
Amelia and her friends will travel to the Kenmera Valley in the Western Continent to begin her internship assignment, while Jane Lu and Hines rush to Sardinia City.
However, Sardinia City is located in the central continent, and it is only about ten days away from Ferrar City, so there is no need to hurry. They rented a monster car and drove slowly.
On the way, Jian Lu sat comfortably in the car, checking the information about the castle of Sardinia.
These materials were exchanged for him in the black market of Fair City, and there will always be a black market that specializes in selling dirt and news, and as long as there is a way, you can get what you want on the black market. When Jian Lu was in Cabell City, he and Hines cooperated with Sauron, and Sauron was connected by Sauron, and they were able to enter the black market.
The black market, a behemoth hidden in the shadows, is really hard to find without anyone pulling the strings.
Sardinia City, like Fair, relies on the Central Forest, but the lords where Sardinia City is located are obviously somewhat racially exclusive, so in Sardinia City, except for humans, there are few other races. The goal of Hines' mission is the Castle of the Dead, located in a forgotten corner of the city of Sardinia.
It is said that the castle was once inhabited by a nobleman, who somehow provoked a necromancer, who killed everyone in the castle with his army of undead overnight, and turned them into members of the undead army.
Since then, the castle has become a paradise for the undead, affecting the area around the castle, and the people living around the castle have moved away from it, and there is no human activity within a radius of 100 miles. Luckily, these undead have been moving around the castle as if they have no interest in the outside world at all, and as long as people do not approach the castle and try to conquer it, they will not be attacked by the undead.
However, recently, it is reported that the undead in the castle have changed from the silent state in the past and have become very active, which has affected the lives of the residents of Sardinia City, so the lord of Sardinia City has no choice but to issue this task of destroying the undead.
In fact, Lemlas is not so isolated, and the internship assignments of students like this are actually drawn from the tasks issued by Lemlas according to various cities outside. Knowing that the lord of Sardinia City had issued a mission to eliminate the undead in the castle, Lemuras's mentors estimated it and easily got it as a student's internship task, and as for the reward, it was also accepted by the school.
As for finding the staff of Sardinia inherited in time, it should be the school's own assessment question.
Inexplicably, there is a feeling that people work for nothing and have to hand over the booty.
Although Jian Lu thought so, but Lemlas was their alma mater, he taught them so much, and he didn't have to worry about such a little reward, as long as he had the ability, it was very simple to make money, and Lemlas had always taught people to fish.
After reading the information about the castle in Sardinia City, Jian Lu looked at Hines, "What do you think?" ”
Hines thought for a moment and said, "If it's just an undead, it's naturally fine." However, you still need to go there to see it in person. ”
Jian Lu nodded, the news given by the black market was actually very extensive, and they had to find out the real situation themselves.
After arriving in Sardinia City, they were not in a hurry to go to the castle to investigate the situation, but chose a hotel to rest for a night, and by the way, they also tasted the special food in Sardinia City, one of which is called Barcomon's meat is very tender and delicious, and simple barbecue can make the craftsmanship of a first-class chef, so that Jian Lu and Hines killed a roast Barcomon.
When the Barco beast is an adult, the size is like a small suckling pig, not too big, the appearance is a bit like a kind of sacred beast called Kui Niu in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that Jian Lu saw in his previous life, the appearance looks a little hideous, but the meat is very delicious, it is a special product of Sardinia City, it is said that Barco Beast lives in the valley near Sardinia City, and is a third-order magical beast.
Seeing that Hines was still unsatisfied, Jian Lu said, "When you leave, go catch a few." ”
Hines's blue eyes immediately became eager, he knew that Jian Lu had a very mysterious storage space, even if it was a living thing, it could be placed, but what form a living thing put in, what form it was when it came out, but it didn't die. The blood of Barco Beast contains toxins, which have the effect of regenerating blood, so when it dies, it must be cooked on the spot, otherwise leaving a little of its blood will not only damage the flesh, but also make its poisonous blood regenerate quickly.
Therefore, this is also the reason why many spatial equipment can't put them into the spatial ring after killing them, and when they need Barco Beasts, they can only let people go hunting in the valley outside the city, bring them into the city alive, and give them to the chef to cook.
When enjoying the food, Jian Lu did not forget to inquire about the ancient castle, but many people shy away from it when they heard it.
"It's been a year since the city lord released this task." A waiter at the inn who wiped the table with a rag said, "Several magicians have received tasks before, but unfortunately they have not been seen coming out of the castle of the dead. ”
"Yes, I don't know what that noble lord did back then to provoke the necromancer." Someone else said, "As the saying goes, it's good to mess with anyone, it's best not to mess with necromancers, their revenge is always so direct, and the army of the undead is not something that anyone can deal with." ”
"No, I don't think the space mages can be messed with, if you provoke them, they will directly throw you into another dimension."
"And the dark mages can't be messed with, they will summon dark creatures......"
A group of people quickly crooked the building.
Jian Lu listened to it for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so he settled the bill with Hines and left the hotel.
It was a sunny spring day, and the two walked to the Castle of the Dead, and gradually there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around, and even the streets leading to the Castle of the Dead gradually became deserted, and soon, they could see some houses full of signs of wind and rain erosion, these houses were empty, and a long street led to the castle not far away.
These streets were originally built on the basis of an ancient castle, and it is said that this was not part of the city of Sardinia, but was the private property of the noble, and later, without knowing what happened, it was incorporated into the city of Sardinia.
The two of them walked calmly through the dilapidated and silent streets, which felt like another world compared to the bustling city of Sardinia.
After crossing the long main road, they came to the castle.
At this time, the sun is shining, but the sun seems to be unable to dispel the gloom around it, making people feel a kind of coldness to the bone.
Jian Lu glanced at the ground and found that this coldness was the coldness brought by the undead, as long as the undead here were eliminated, they would return to normal.
"Jane, shall we go in?" Hines asked.
Jian Lu nodded, took the lead in stepping forward, and pushed open the dilapidated gate of the ancient castle, and at the same time, a fist-sized holy light was condensed in his hand, and he threw it in, very simple and rude.
Like a loyal knight, Hines stood by his side.
The sound of creaking bones clashing sounded, and when the door suddenly opened, the situation inside was presented to the two of them.
The courtyard is full of skeleton soldiers, armed with bone swords, guarding the castle without fear of death. It's a pity that they met the nemesis of the undead, the light magician, and the holy son of the Temple of Light, but in a flash, under the bombardment of the holy light, the skeletons turned into a piece of white bone powder, and disappeared between heaven and earth in an instant.
These are the lowest-level skeletons, not very lethal, and even a trainee mage can deal with them - provided that the trainee mage has an abundance of magical power.
A few holy lights blasted over, and a group of undead hung up.
This quest was actually specially prepared for Jian Lu, and he was lucky enough to be drawn by Hines, and Hines was even luckier because he had a brother who practiced light magic.
Maybe this kid is the one favored by the god of luck.
Jian Lu thought as he eliminated the skeleton soldiers, and then felt that he was really a good brother, and he took the lead and protected his younger brother behind.
Hines saw the slight strangeness in his expression, his face was upright, but his heart was a little funny.
Since Jane was so happy, he didn't have to stand in front of him.
After destroying the skeletal soldiers in the courtyard, they came to the main entrance of the castle, the vermilion paint on the door had been peeled, but there was no cobwebs or anything like that, and if it wasn't for the regular cleaning of the ground, the undead cleaned up on their own self - it was impossible to think about it.
When the door was opened, there was a circular dome hall, the floor was paved with shiny floor tiles, and there was still a group of skeleton soldiers, but the color of these skeletons was more white and smooth than that in the courtyard, and the bones were harder, indicating that these skeletons were of a higher level, and they might be second-order undead in the undead plane.
It's still a holy light bomb boom boom.
After blasting the skeletons into bone powder and disappearing, the two of them looked at them in the hall. The hall was large, looking the size of a basketball court, and there was a spiral staircase in the northeast corner of the hall that led to the upper floor, and every now and then there was some slight noise from the upper floor, wondering what should be up there.
However, Jian Lu felt that with his previous experience of reading novels, this kind of castle should also have a secret room leading to the underground, and then there will be layers of tests arranged in the secret room, as long as they clear the customs and finish the boss, they can get what they want, it's that simple.
A lot of the plot is like this.
While he was thinking this, Hines had already inspected the hall of the basketball court, and said to Jane, "Jane, let's go upstairs, I think the Staff of Satin should be upstairs." ”
Jian Lu: =__=! It's not the same as saying yes!
"Underground chamber ......," he reminded with some struggle.
Hines looked surprised, "I've checked, and there's no such thing." With his eyesight and observation, he was sure that there really was no such thing as an underground vault in this castle.
There is no such thing, there is no such thing, there is no such thing - important things are repeated three times!
Jian Lu's heart was swiped by the groove, so he could only keep a straight face, and walk to the castle with Hines coldly and nobly.
Hines walked behind him, with a faint smile on his face, and he felt in his heart that Jane, who stubbornly thought that there was such a thing as an underground secret room, was really cute.
