Due to the huge area of the castle, the designers seem to have deliberately designed the low-level passages to be extraordinarily complex.

To get to the stairwell from the blacksmith's quarter, you'll need to go around hundreds of meters of winding passages.

After going up to the second floor.

You also have to go to the central interaction area on the second floor, and use the [Blacksmith Key] you just obtained to open the only stone staircase door to the third floor.

This is the way to reach the upper floors of the castle.

The probability of encountering obstacles during the journey is also relatively high, but I didn't expect to meet a team of trainee knights.

Three-person squad.

All members have reached the "Seed Breaking Period" (the major class allocation points have reached 5 points, and the seed has not yet been broken)

At the head was a crusader of standard build, armed with blood-red armor, and exuding a heavy aura.

The eyes peeking out of the slit in the helmet are also blood-red...... Just by looking at each other, Han Dong and Wen Li felt very uncomfortable, and there were countless evil and wild monsters that died in the hands of this person.

It's not just that.

The two teammates behind him are also not good at stubble.

One of the students majoring in [Library] looked even weaker than Han Dong.

The arms that were exposed outside the sleeve robe were as thin as wood,

Holding a skull in his hand as the center,

There was a dead air all over his body.

The other is dressed as a typical Assassin, wearing a dark skull mask,

Judging by the hair draped over her shoulders, her gait, and her figure, she should be a woman.

Such an encounter made Wen Li a little frightened, and leaned sideways behind Han Dong.

The crusaders at the head of the crusade asked kindly, "Aren't you specially selected newcomers?" How did it end up here? ”

"Hello seniors and seniors! As soon as we entered the castle area, we were attacked by cadres and accidentally separated from the rest of the team...... I kept running away in the passage with her, and I couldn't find my way at all.

Can you take both of us with you? We just need to leave the castle with us. ”

Han Dong showed a frightened and lost newcomer in the passage in advance, and it was not inconsistent at all to cooperate with such a question.

"We're not leaving, we're going to the more dangerous areas, and we don't have time to take you...... Go down this path yourselves. If you encounter a fork in the road, turn to the left, and about the door corresponding to the third fork, you will be able to access the lobby area. ”

"Thank you...... There shouldn't be any threat in this passageway, right? ”

"Not at the moment, but after a while we won't know for sure."

"Good! Thank you, senior. ”

Han Dong held Wen Li's hand tightly, pretending to be in a hurry, but frightened, and continued to move forward...... Separate from this squad as quickly as possible.

Judging by Han Dong's observations.

The three of them are of a very high standard, higher than the team of Johnny, the Meat Shield Warrior...... Moreover, none of the three are decent knights. Once he gets into trouble with this group of people, Han Dong's plan will be interrupted.

…………

In Han Dong, the two had just left.

In the hands of the boy who resembles a necromancer, he uses his staff to create a skull wrapped in nether fire.

Two dark eyeballs gradually grow in the eye sockets of the skull, which contribute to the vision of the owner, which is a means of exploration.

The skull is thrown and immediately followed.

The blood knight at the head whispered:

"Area quests need to be completed in order to gain access to the castle.

This place belongs to the back end of the castle, which is far away from the front hall, and it will not come here because of the sneak attack of the cadres who have been scattered.

This group of newcomers doesn't seem to be easy. ”

The necromantic apprentice from the library opened his mouth and said:

"Among these newcomers, there is a student who has a good relationship with Hera, the deputy director of the library, named Demps. Martin...... It's a pity I couldn't see him.

Otherwise, I would like to have a good exchange with such a genius. ”

The three of them walked forward for a short time before they came to the "blacksmith area".

When I opened the door, I saw the apprentices scattered all over the ground, but I couldn't find the body of the blacksmith.

At about the same time, the Necromantic Apprentice frowned.

"Captain, the skull I released has been found and destroyed by the stupid kid just now...... Follow their route.

There is a small chance of going to the Frontrooms, and you should be able to go to the second floor. ”

"It's really not easy for this group of freshmen...... We're going to speed things up a little bit.

If you can meet these new students again, take a moment and talk to them about the castle. ”

"No problem, Captain."

The Necro Apprentice has sent his free-roaming arm to collect bone material from the Blacksmith Apprentice's body, and each additional corpse will increase the apprentice's combat effectiveness

…………

"It's dangerous...... Is this the elite squad of juniors? If they find out that I have a "blacksmith's key" on me, things can get quite troublesome.

This influencing factor must be introduced into the plan.

If you encounter them again in the castle, you will inevitably be targeted. ”

Han Dong held the severed skull, feeling the remnants of the necromantic aura inside, and frowned.

The encounter with such a knight squad increased the difficulty of the overall operation to a certain extent, and the variability affected the entire plan.

"It was ...... [Blood Knight-Lucius] just now." Wen Li said timidly.

"You know?"

"Uh-huh...... Generally, I have learned about the trainee knights who are admitted with excellent grades through the files.

This Lucius is famous, and was once admitted as the best apprentice crusader like you, and the head of the department is very optimistic.

It is rumored that the Crimson Knights have issued a recruitment order to him in advance. ”

"Hmm."

"Vice-captain, we must not clash with them, try to avoid them."

"It depends......"

Han Dong finally found the staircase to the second floor.

Play the same old trick.

During the forging period, Han Dong also dealt with the [Blacksmith].

After passing through the corridor and reaching the second floor, the blacksmith coat was put on the two of them and perfected through "camouflage".

As a blacksmith - Atros, go straight to the central elevator.

Along the way, you will encounter various guards wandering the area, as well as several special butlers who enter and exit through the walls like ghosts...... But none of them could see through the disguise.

Click.

The key is inserted into the stone door.

Follow the only staircase that is only accessible to cadres and family members, and reach the upper floors of the castle.

The narrow passages in the lower floors are made wide here...... Red carpets are laid on the ground, and the sides of the road are illuminated with ornate candlesticks.

There is also an eyeball device on top that monitors the real-time situation in the tunnel.

Such an eyeball intrigued Han Dong, and it was necessary to find out its main body...... Maybe it can improve Han Dong's little magic eye.

Find the door with Atros written on it and infiltrate this private room.

This is no longer watched by the eyeballs.

"Wow! It's so hot to death! ”

Hurriedly took off the thick and warm blacksmith skin, and the two of them sweated profusely along the way.

Thankfully, the blacksmith's bedroom was in the normal European style, not the scorching blacksmith's room design.

There is also a large private bathroom for two people......
