Repeating the old trick and using the Soul Eater Virus to deal with the ghosts guarding the hallway, Wu Chen finally stepped out of the main castle.

The courtyard at sunset is peaceful and beautiful. Through the closed iron fence at the entrance, Wu Chen could even look out over the meadows and forests when he came. And, of course, the Captain's office, which is lit up.

The blacksmith shop is an auxiliary building of the castle and one of the indispensable buildings of the Cold Weapon era. Winding along the courtyard to the back of the main castle building, Wu Chen quickly discovered the target. Surprisingly, apart from the extinguished furnace and the cold anvil, the blacksmith shop was unguarded.

"In addition to the extinguished furnace, we also found the cauldron, which is a necessary prop for smelting the silver cross." TT40 sorted out and found: "The fire can be lit with spirits. Avella's pantry was stocked, and we needed tongs, anti-scald gloves and hammers. The long-handled iron tongs are in the dungeon torture room, the anti-scald gloves are in the kitchen, and the whereabouts of the sledgehammer may be asked about Avella. Of course, what we need most is actually molds. ”

Wu Chen nodded immediately, "The mold for forging crossbow arrows." ”

"For the sake of accurate shooting, I recommend looking for a normal crossbow arrow to imitate."

"No problem." Wu Chen was going to ask Avella, maybe she knew the whereabouts of the crossbow arrows. Of course, he had to go to the dungeon to get a pair of tongs and enough charcoal. The dungeon had been emptied by him before, unhindered. With his bulging backpack, Wu Chen returned to the lord's kitchen.

In the meantime, he heard a loud wolf howl again.

"The broth is cooked, and it seems that the guests can't wait." Seeing Wu Chen flash in, Avira hurriedly said.

"I need some more time." Wu Chen signaled her to be calm, then pointed to the crossbow behind her back and asked, "Do you know where to find crossbow arrows?" ”

"The bar or the room. I remember guests taking it to the shooting range for training, and some people used it instead of darts competitions. Avella spoke quickly.

"Okay." Wu Chen was about to turn around, but Avella, who remembered something, hurriedly reminded him. "Wu, don't go to the first room on the left side of the bar."

"What's wrong?"

"She was the last guest to stay at the castle before the paranormal event. And since that day, she has lived in the castle in peace. It's as if none of those evil creatures existed. Almost every night, I can hear the clatter of high heels hitting the ground. ”

"Are you sure it's her?" Wu Chen asked.

"Sure." Avella bowed her head slightly: "Trust me, this is a woman's intuition. The haute couture heels she wears. And the distinctive sound of footsteps, I can't be mistaken. ”

Wu Chen nodded: "Is the footsteps only at night?" ”

"Yes, she only visits the castle at night." Avira read the deep meaning of Wu Chen's question, and quickly added: "And the day I came here was also dusk." The windows of the car that gave her were closed, and the thick sunshades were drawn. ”

"Okay, Avella." Wu Chen asked again: "Where will the hammer be in the blacksmith shop?" ”

"The gardener took it some time ago." Sure enough, Avella knew, "It should still be in the Gardener's Cottage." ”

As he was leaving, Wu Chen finally asked, "Avella, as far as you know. How to kill a vampire. ”

"Burn it with fire, stick it into a vampire's heart with sharpened white oak, cut off the vampire's head, and finally daylight." Avella blurted out.

After weighing it again and again, Wu Chen chose the second option, "Where can I find white oak?" ”

"Flower Garden Labyrinth." Avella was not surprised by Wu Chen's choice: "The last white oak in the castle also died many years ago, and the only thing left is the table made of white oak stumps by the gardener. ”

"Flower Garden." Wu Chen was immediately on the panoramic map in his mind. The coordinates of the newly unlocked adventure were determined.

"Wu Chen, there are many ugly goblins hidden in the labyrinth of the flower garden. They make their home by digging holes in the bushes, and don't underestimate them, as if they are not afraid of anything but fire. ”

"Flames?" Wu Chen pondered for a moment, and then showed a victor's smile. "Avella, don't mind drilling into the pantry again?"

The skeleton guard guarding the castle's side door was kicked to pieces by a heavily armored Newman. Stepping on the sunset, Wu Chen walked into the castle garden separated by a wall. Lush shrubs and flowers soon filled the view, and the number of TT40 tips received increased.

"It's a pity I don't know the names of these herbs." Relying on special energy fluctuations, TT40 was able to identify many useful medicinal herbs. But it is not known what the use of the collected materials is.

Wu Chen immediately flipped through Avella's magic book in his mind and found a potion recipe:

Herbal honey

Elements required: Honey and hay

Take a handful of hay and boil the juice for 20 minutes, strain out the juice, add honey and stir until it is all dissolved, cool and then transfer. Allow 30 minutes to complete this delicious potion.

When consumed, a 'natural resume' is formed in the user's mind, which gives them their true names.

"Neither of these materials seems to be complicated." TT40 motioned for Wu Chen to set his eyes on a blooming rose. It turned out that there was a hard-working little bee entrenched in the stamen. With the help of TT40, Wu Chen easily found the huge beehive on a tree branch not far away. Protected by a colony disguised as a suit, Wu Chen was not afraid of the sting of bees, and climbed up to extract half a bottle of honey.

"Where's the hay?" Waving his hand to drive away the buzzing bee swarm, Wu Chen flew down, and a few ups and downs hid in the bushes, escaping from the bees' attack circle.

"Stables." TT40 answered very simply.

"Sure enough." Lying down in the bushes, Wu Chen quietly turned over: "All the key collections are linked one by one. If you want to go down, you have to get rid of the troubles in the stable. ”

"Go to the Florist's Cottage first and find the White Oak and the Blacksmith's Hammer." Following the annotation of TT40, Wu Chen soon came to a garden labyrinth made of shrub walls.

The familiar scene didn't bother Wu Chen too much.

It is not surprising that the pruning of flowers and trees into walls and then the construction of a labyrinth of geometric beauty is also a fundamental craft of Western horticulturists. However, before he could step into the labyrinth, the vibration of the Suo Suo began on the side wall and spread rapidly along the vertical and horizontal geometric lines to the depths of the flower wall.

Soon, the cooing screams rang out along with the sound of running. Looking at the swaying green wall, Wu Chen took out the bottle of spirits with his backhand and lit the strip of cloth that blocked the mouth of the bottle.

The moment the monster rushed out, Wu Chen suddenly threw out a fire bottle!

Boom!

The liquor smashed head-on, and the splashed juice instantly ignited a fire and engulfed the entire outlet!

The sharp wood thrown out indiscriminately was weakly inserted beside Wu Chen, and a few goblins that were burned into a large fire were still rolling and wailing in the flames. The fur had been incinerated, and the tongue of fire was kissing and licking the exploding skin, burrowing into the chest, squeezing out streams of fragrant oil...... From the goblin, Wu Chen even smelled the smell of roasted lamb chops.

"Are goblins humanoids?" Wu Chen asked while swallowing a piece of rib that had been roasted to golden brown.

"Yes." Tempered by TT40's firmness, Wu Chen gritted his teeth and held back, watching the delicacy burn to ashes.

The goblins' sneak attack continued, but they were all repelled by Wu Chen with a flask of fire.

The roaring fire that burned the monsters also marked the path to the depths of the labyrinth for Wu Chen. When the last touch of the setting sun dyed the sky red, Wu Chen finally passed through the maze and came to the gardener's hut built by the thick wall.

Before he could get closer, a thick smell of blood came from behind the hidden wooden door. Apparently, the murderous goblins had already visited this place first. Pushing open the door on guard, the old gardener's body collapsed in the room. The body was pressed to the ground by the heavy tabletop, and the blood that had not coagulated was still slowly spilling out of the bitten throat, staining the entire ground red.

Looking around the room, Wu Chen set his eyes on the log table pressed against the gardener—the white oak stump he had been looking for.

Cutting off a table leg, stuffing the TT40 marked plants in the window into his backpack, and finally carrying the hammer standing on the back of the door, Wu Chen didn't stop and rushed out. He was going to return to the castle before sunset.

However, time did not give him enough patience. As he stormed into the castle, the last rays of the setting sun also set over the sky.

Knocking on the door with the drum beat agreed upon by the two, Avella's vigilant and happy face immediately appeared behind the door.

"Thank goodness you're back."

Wu Chen nodded quickly and dodged into the kitchen. "Avella, quick, bring the broth over."

"A quarter of an hour ago, I had Newman send it over." Quickly locking the door, Avella turned around with a smile, "And the bow and arrows you wanted, I also got them for you." ”

"Great!" Wu Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "I'm worried about this." Then he suddenly changed color, "Avella, you went to the guest room?" ”

"Hmm." Avella read Wu Chen's concern, and then smiled and nodded at the shrine, "I came from the secret passages, and most of these ancient secret passages have been converted into ventilation ducts, along with the various rooms in the castle. I was worried that she would wake up, so I went quietly before the sun went down, but luckily it didn't alarm her. ”

"I see." Wu Chen still couldn't help but remind: "It's better to do less risky things." ”

"Okay, Wu, Wu Chen." Reading the worry in Wu Chen's expression, Avella replied softly.

With the crossbow arrows, Wu Chen finally gathered all the materials needed to forge the silver arrows. quickly filled his belly and carried a large bag to the blacksmith's shop. Although he had never experienced forging-related work before, he was able to master the process of making molds with a rough embryo that was closer to success each time.

When the most perfect clay embryo mold was made, the crucible also smelted the silver cross into a pot of red water.

Pick up the crucible with iron tongs, carefully inject silver water into the hole left in the mud embryo, and fill the entire mold through the connected groove.

Soon, with rising smoke and spitting flames, silver water gushed out of the hole. Wu Chen put the crucible back into the furnace fire, took another mold, and repeated the previous operation. When the silver ran out, Wu Chen obtained three silver arrow embryos as he wished. Wipe off the excess sticks and edges, and then polish the grinding wheel, and the silver crossbow is finally completed.

"Now, we're going to find another bowstring that's tough enough." Holding the cross bow and silver arrows, Wu Chen said with a torch in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
