The camp was not far from the town, and after riding at full speed, we quickly reached our goal. This is where the Black Tulip Brigade camped before the fire.

Of course, this time Julien would not dare to camp at such a distance.

From here, the traces left in the town can still be seen, and further away, the traces of Agni's earliest bare hands against gargoyles are still clear.

"How do you feel about revisiting the old place?" Julien raised an eyebrow at Agni as he pulled out his binoculars.

Agni shrugged his shoulders and continued, "The grace of a meal is unforgettable." ”

"One meal can be abducted to a master, so I still earn it!"

After saying this, both of them laughed.

Julien handed Agni a telescope, and he held one himself, looking in the direction of the castle.

Obviously, nothing has changed in the direction of the town.

"It seems that we can take it easier until we meet a real opponent." Julien made a judgment right away.

Low-level monsters usually don't have much desire to move until they receive commands. Especially on the ground, when the power of the abyss is difficult to obtain, low-level monsters usually like to bury themselves.

If the monster starts to move, it means that the monster in the area where it was before has reached the point of crowding. For example, the last time the Black Tulip Brigade came to the castle, because an abyss army was stationed in the castle, some monsters were squeezed out of their original resting place and came to the town.

As for this habit of monsters, Julien also learned it in the crazy make-up class after suffering a loss last time, and if he had understood this last time, maybe he would not have suffered such a serious loss.

Everything in the town is business as usual, and it is obvious that there is no new Abyss army stationed in the castle again, otherwise some monsters will be squeezed out of the city walls.

Agni agreed with him, but still couldn't solve the biggest concern of the trip: "It's just that I can't confirm that the Abyss Soul is still in the castle." ”

Due to the influence of the Abyssal Fountain, the sky seen from the inside of the castle is always the night sky, but from the outside, there is nothing unusual in the sky, and only when you look at the castle itself, it will be revealed.

Originally, if you look through a telescope at this distance, you can clearly see the scenery on the castle, but when the fire is in the tube, all you can see is the gray walls, and the windows and corridors that should be clear can only be seen in total darkness. The trees and weeds that were supposed to be swaying, like a botched paper-cut painting, were only a gray silhouette, sticking to the ground motionless. The flowing water also sees only a disgusting dirty black, in contrast to the activity of the same river that flows out of the confines of the castle.

With little useful information to be obtained, the abyss obscured everything inside the castle.

"Can you see anything?" Agni asked.

"Well......," Julian muttered for a moment, then said, "there's news, I don't know if it's good or bad. ”

"What?"

"The gargoyle king on the roof of the vestibule is gone." Julien said, pointing to the gray roof.

Agni raised his telescope to look in the direction of the vestibule, in fact, he had not seen the castle from this perspective before, but it was obvious that there seemed to be a piece missing from the roof.

"What does this mean?" Agni asked.

"It was an obsidian gargoyle, and in ancient records it was it that assassinated the chief knight of the Count Balzac family, which led to the loss of the entire castle." Julien explained, "For more than 100 years, after the defeat of the Abyss army, this gargoyle has been occupying the castle, because of its remote location and various complex political factors, no one has come to fight it. ”

Most of the time, the gargoyle king would be in the form of a statue standing at the top of the vestibule, in which case he could be seen as a stone through the abyss, and once it was in active mode, the abyss would obscure its figure. From the perspective of the two of them, the Gargoyle King disappeared from view.

"I'm afraid its strength is not much weaker than that of General Cologneburg, and it is an opponent that we must not provoke before...... Even with you and Amelia on board now, it's unknown if you'll be able to defeat it head-on. Speaking of this, Julien's face was a little unpleasant.

"So...... Compared to the Abyss Knight Lord? Who is stronger? Agni asked.

Zhu Lien smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "No matter which of them is strong...... There is no chance of victory in a head-on battle against our brigade! Does it make sense for jackals to make sense which is stronger tiger or lion? ”

The answer is obvious.

Even if Agni once killed the Abyss Knight Lord at LV0, even if Agni has eliminated a lot of powerful opponents so far, it doesn't mean that Agni's combat power can be equal to them.

If you have to fight the Gargoyle King, it will be a fierce battle for Agni and the entire Black Tulip Brigade.

"And it's not sure if the Abyssal Soul is still in the castle......" Julien continued.

The worst-case scenario would be to deal with both formidable opponents, and once it became clear that both were in the castle, Julien would retreat to the camp and wait until he ran out of supplies and had to return to Cologne. This kind of ending is undoubtedly something that no one wants to accept.

"Don't be so pessimistic," Agni could only say, "Maybe the Spirit of the Abyss has taken the Gargoyle King away, after all, we have killed her Abyss Lord, and it is only natural for her to want to fill the power of her men." ”

"I hope so......" Julien said with a sigh.

After confirming that there were no other anomalies, the group prepared to return to the camp.

"In the afternoon we will have Scouts enter the castle to reconnoiter and confirm the whereabouts of the Abyssal Soul. Once it's confirmed that the Abyssal Soul has left, we'll start moving early tomorrow morning, try to find the sigil as soon as possible, and leave immediately. Julien paused and continued, "I always feel that the atmosphere is not quite right, I can't stay here for long, I must leave early!" ”

Agni asked, somewhat surprised, "Did you find anything?" ”

Julien shook his head, "No...... It's just a feeling, maybe I'm overthinking. There's nothing wrong with being careful, though. ”

Agni nodded, after all, Julien had been working hard in the wasteland for half a year, and his experience was far more than him, so he might really be able to smell something strange.

"So, I'll go online early tomorrow." Agni said.

Agni and Julion prepared to return to the camp, while the accompanying scout captain Zorro and his men stayed behind to infiltrate the castle.

These elite scouts have a variety of ways to conceal their aura, and given enough time, they will be able to obtain detailed information.

Immediately after returning to the camp, Julien began to gather Odo and the captains for a battle meeting. Agni said hello to Minter and Amelia and went offline in the safe house.
