As if pulled by something, the crowfeather floated out at a slow speed.

Noticing the direction in which the crow feather flew, Lin An's heart moved, isn't this direction the direction that Athena said to see the castle before?

"Looks like we all guessed wrong, it's an invitation." Saleen's response was also quick.

Taking advantage of the fact that the feather did not fly far, Lin An immediately made a dispatch.

"Sidney, Titi and I will go with me, Athena and Shiryl will leave ......" Turning to look at Andre and Saleen, Lin An hesitated.

"I took the mission, and I agreed to protect Simon's family, of course I'm going to go with it." Andrei preemptively said.

Dark Gold's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Saleen hesitated for a moment, but did not object, "Then I'll stay." He knew that there had to be someone left at the camp to take the idea.

"William stay, too, if anything is wrong, ignore the others, Athena, take Shiryl and Salin away." This is to prevent the other party from leaving the mountain, with William here, at least he can run if he can't beat it.

Athena is a fortress of war, and she is often coquettish, but at this time, she will not oppose Lin An's deployment, and her little face nods sternly.

William let out a low roar of dissatisfaction, and seeing that his little friend did not protest, he muttered for a while and quieted down.

Sidney didn't wait for Lin An to speak, a pair of wings spread out on his back, and immediately flew away with Crow Feather, Titi picked up Lin An and followed closely with Andre.

At this time, the night was gradually darkening, and the fog from nowhere was floating on the grassland, and it was hazy and it was a little difficult to see the road under my feet.

Crow Feather didn't fly far, turning a small hill, Lin An and the others seemed to have suddenly turned into another world, they were in a black forest with sparse leaves, and a gray-white castle suddenly appeared in front of them.

Lin An was not surprised, when she bypassed the hills just now, she faintly felt like she had entered the phantom array.

The environment in front of you is difficult to distinguish between real and fake, but the castle should be real, but under the cover of the phantom array, people who come and go cannot find out about the castle's existence.

The dark purple vault did not have a single star. A thin red moon hung behind the lonely castle, and the whole scene was indescribably mysterious and deep.

Flying close to the castle, his vision gradually became clearer, and the gray and white city wall mottled and covered with withered yellow moss marks appeared in Lin An's field of vision.

The castle seems to have fallen into disrepair, the moat that surrounds it under the walls has long since dried up, and a narrow wooden drawbridge leads to the castle gates.

Sidney and Andre stopped flying in front of the bridge, Titi put down Lin An, and the group walked up the wooden bridge, each step making the planks under their feet moan overwhelmed, but surprisingly without a trace of shaking.

The crow feathers that flew ahead to lead the way swayed. Touch the castle gate where the rusty skin has fallen. The wooden gate covered in heavy iron sheet creaked. It automatically opens inwards to reveal the inside of the castle to visitors.

A cold aura that seemed to come from the depths of the earth came to my face.

Lin An looked at the deep and dark doorway, took a deep breath, and led the way. Sidney also suppressed the impulse in his heart, secretly clenched the staff, and followed Lin An inside.

The straights are deep and long.

The high walls on both sides gave the illusion of narrowness in the wide passages that could parallel the carriages, the sound of the wind whistling in the vault echoed overhead, and the sound of footsteps on the cold bluestone slabs echoed repeatedly into the depths of the castle, giving people a sense of apprehension that woke up the entire silent castle.

After entering the gate of the castle, the crow feather disappeared, and it seemed to blend into the darkness of the castle, and Lin An and the others could only follow the path in front of them.

Pass through the atrium. Enter the inner court.

The doorway was wide open and unobstructed, and in a corridor with tall columns on both sides, they finally saw a little light.

Two rows of fist-sized night pearls were inlaid on the walls on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the stone carvings of hideous monsters with long horns on the walls.

They have long horns. The back of the rickety is a pair of folded belly wings, and the hideous monster has a pair of red eyes on its face, staring at the uninvited guests who go deep along the road, and the gaze seems to be alive.

Maybe they are alive!

The feeling of being watched was too strong, Lin An couldn't ignore it, the oak branch appeared in his hand, and with a slight pause, a pale golden ripple spread out with Lin An as the center, expanding into a golden guardian ring, enveloping Andre in the ring.

Sidney snorted, raised his wings out of the aura, and a thick black book appeared in his hand.

Titi is long gone.

Their actions seemed to be stimulated, and a strong gust of wind swept over their heads, and the monster stone carvings on the walls disappeared without a trace.

In the dim light, dozens of huge bat-like shadows flew quickly, hitting the golden halo and sending out a sharp scream that pierced the eardrums, flapping their wings like gathered bats, and flying to the side of the wall.

Only on the column closest to Lin An and the others, the original monster stone carving was gone, and Titi's figure walked out of the darkness, dragging a long arrow-shaped tail in his left hand without holding a sword.

The body connected to the other end of the tail was as tall as the human being, the legs of the lower half of the body were gone, the bat wings on the back had been shaved to the point of the root, no blood flowed out, and the hard body like a stone rubbed against the ground.

Unable to adjust to its balance because of the loss of its wings, the monster slammed its claws at the floor, making a piercing grinding sound as Titi dragged it, and roaring wildly from its fanged mouth like a man who had been cut in half.

"It's a gargoyle!"

Seeing the true face of that monster, Lin An finally determined their identity.

This is a rare artificial puppet, in addition to the weakness of photophobia, they have a stone-like body, invulnerable, no pain, in the history of the ancient magic dynasty, many mages like to use this artificial puppet as the standing protective force of the master tower.

However, the refining method of gargoyle is more complicated, and it requires pouring a dead soul into the stone statue to drive it, and not many people know the refining method until now, and orthodox mages do not like to use this kind of puppet.

Lin An looked at Sidney in the air behind him, he was looking at the dozens of gargoyles on the walls on both sides with burning eyes, Lin An was very suspicious that these dozens of gargoyles who were eyeing them would also have the feeling of being looked at her back coldly.

She knew in her mind that the mages who lived in the castle would most likely have a common language with Sidney.

Slow and clear applause rang out in the darkness.

"It's a guest who was personally invited by the teacher."

As a low and hoarse voice sounded, the gargoyles on the walls on both sides buzzed, the two-point pinprick-like red light in the eyes went out, and the feeling of being scorched finally disappeared, and Lin An relaxed slightly.

She looked at the new ones.

It was a tall, thin figure that appeared in front of the gallery at some point.

His whole body was wrapped in a dark brown robe. Even his hands were covered by long sleeves, not showing a trace of skin, his face was hidden behind the drooping hood, and the whole person did not have any breath of storage, if it weren't for the fact that he was holding a crystal ball in his hand and emitting a trace of light, even Lin An couldn't perceive his storage, as if it was a dead person.

I don't know why, seeing this person, Lin An suddenly felt a cold chill in his heart, as if he had two vicious glances. was staring at her.

But the feeling was fleeting. Lin An didn't even figure it out. This was not the illusion that the gargoyle's gaze had brought her before.

She glanced at the man, and secretly raised her guard in her heart.

"Among you, it seems, there are also our companions."

The man spoke again, his voice hoarse as if soaked in the most corrosive poison. With an uncomfortable feeling.

He looked at Sidney and chuckled lowly, without a hint of laughter, and when the laughter stopped, a thin piece of parchment flew flat towards Sidney.

"I was lazy before, as a small apology, and if the guest is interested, you can take both ends away before leaving."

Sidney caught the flying parchment with his mage's hand and looked at it. Unscorched silver eyes suddenly lit up.

On the parchment was the recipe and alchemy formula for making zuò gargoyles, and Sidney immediately held the parchment in the mage's hand and read it directly.

Lin An had to admit that this apology was very appetizing to Sidney, and the necromancer seemed to release his kindness in this way. It seems that the *master behind him doesn't intend to do anything.

The necromancer seemed to be patient, quietly holding the crystal ball, waiting for Sidney to put away the parchment before he spoke hoarsely and slowly again:

"The teacher has been waiting for a long time, please come with me."

He raised the staff in his right hand and waved it lightly, and a doorway immediately appeared in the wall on the side of the corridor.

The necromancer didn't look at Lin An and his party, and walked in directly, Lin An exchanged glances with the others, and followed the fish into the room.

Directly behind the doorway is an empty cave, but not up, but straight down.

The cold wind blowing straight up in the middle seems that the underground of the castle has been completely hollowed out into a hole, and a spiral staircase spirals down against the side wall of the hole, and there is not even a handrail on the outside, and the doorway is only in the middle of the hole, and the top leads to the top of the castle.

But the necromancer didn't take the spiral ladder.

He stood at the end of the spiral ladder and waved his staff lightly, and Lin An and the others heard a dense and fleshy, sticky sound like a long snake crawling over the wall, and dozens of black vines hung down from above.

The black vines were like living creatures, intertwined in front of the necromancer, weaving into a large basket-like rattan net, and the necromancer walked straight in.

He turned around and saw that Lin An and the others hadn't moved, as if he had just remembered something, and said slowly:

"If the guests are not used to it, they can fly down on their own, but be careful, don't use the two spells of light attribute and fire attribute - Xiao Hei has been raised by the teacher for hundreds of years, and he is usually domineering, and after being stimulated, he may not necessarily listen to my orders."

Andrei shuddered.

He had long seen that these thick black vines were devil vines, and the biggest weakness of devil vines was that they were afraid of fire, and the devil vines that could hunt and kill a majestic demon deer would be burned into ashes immediately if they touched a match and lit a wisp of fire.

How big is this devil vine for this necromancer to give such a warning?!
