Chapter 97: The Castle
In order to find the direction of the 'master', we began to walk towards the other chambers of the castle, and we passed the bend in the castle and came to a long corridor with rooms on either side of the corridor, and we tried to open one or two doors, but there was no other person or creature in them.
After a few attempts, we decided to go through the promenade to the end of the promenade, where there was a road that turned to the right, and we continued along there, and after turning the corner, we saw a palace in front of us.
The palace is decorated with many splendid ornaments such as various jewels and glass that shine brightly.
Carved marble columns, glazed floors, and a seat at the end of the red carpet that leads there. It's like the position where the highest class sits.
We stepped forward to take a look, and there were silver-white armored knights standing in neat rows on both sides of the road. Those don't have the breath of people, and they are just simple displays.
And on the top of the seat, there is also a small figure, if you look closely, you can see that it is a doll, with stitches on its body, dead wood-colored skin, withered yellow hair, and a slightly thin face, what kind of female doll should be, sitting on the seat with her head slightly bowed.
"What's that doll...?"
We all walked up to the chairs and looked at the long-haired doll, which sat in a strange posture and looked very bright in this palace.
"Maybe it's some kind of mechanism or something."
Lan Xin said, reaching out to touch the puppet, and the moment his fingers touched the puppet, suddenly the silver-white armored knights around him reacted, and began to start gradually, like turning on the engine, locking the target to the two of us in front of the seat, and began to move forward.
We looked at the silver knights, who were just approaching us, their weapons in their hands deliberately in a gesture of battle. As Blue Heart said, it might have been some kind of mechanism, but she opened it.
A few moments later the knights came to us in groups, and told us that we were surrounded and approached with spears in hand.
"What, these guys are also being controlled." I said
Suddenly, the knights came at us with spears, and I turned into a black sword and confronted a knight in front of me, the swords and spears collided, and they simply fought each other, and I got the upper hand, and in one breath the opponent's spears and knights repelled away, so that the two of them took spears and took a few steps back together.
"The purpose is to find the master, let's not stay here for too long, let's leave." Blue Heart Road
I nodded in agreement, and in an instant I slashed my way through the crowd of knights and stepped forward.
Forcibly broke through the group of knights, since there are these controlled knights, the master must be controlling them somewhere on this level.
Following the route we had just taken, we went back the way we came, heading towards the door. Coming to a certain door, we escaped from it. And then came a grassland, which is the scene I saw before.
It looks like we've escaped from that castle again. Looking to the rear, the knights who were chasing us before did not continue to pursue, and we were standing blankly on the grassland at the moment.
The sun is already setting, and the sky is a dull yellow.
"Is it already night?" I said
I seem to feel like time is passing a little fast.
"The phenomenon here is a bit abnormal, and it may be troublesome if you don't find that owner quickly." Blue Heart replied
"Then as soon as possible, let's go to the next castle right away." I said
Then we stopped talking and walked in the direction of the next castle, which seemed to have six castles on top of it, built in the shape of a half-moon.
Now the biggest clue is that I feel the breath of the master inside the castle, and several castles are probably the same space, and the master is in the castle among them.
The castle is connected to each other, and we can get to the inside of the castle from the outside, and it should be relatively common to find that from the point of view, that is, to go through all the castles.
On the contrary, if this is expected by the other party, what should we do, indeed we felt the breath in the castle, and entered several castles in different locations, and the castles were all about the same, and in order to further confirm, I entered the next three castles one after another.
We made sure that the palace within the castle saw the doll every time, and when we approached it or touched it, special things would happen, such as the Silver Knight, which would be activated, and in addition to the trap that collapsed, and so on, the doll was like a cursed doll, and touching it would bring trouble to us.
The difference is in the color of the doll, and each time you see it is different, there are red, green, yellow, etc.
After passing through seven castles, we came to the meadow, and now the sky was dark, and night was falling. Time passes very fast here.
"The sun was high in the sky when I came before, and now it's the moon." I said
"Something is wrong here, probably because of the castle we are into." Blue Heart Road
"There are castles ahead of us that we haven't been to, maybe five or so."
"Twelve? Like a clock. ”
"Clock? Yes, the castle is like a clock that circles around the big circle. I said
"In that case, there should be twenty-four days and nights." Blue Heart Road
"Twenty-four, does the number mean that there are so many castles here?" I was a little confused
"Yes, I can roughly tell that even if we go through the twenty-four now, I'm afraid we won't find that person."
"So what is it to do?" I asked Lan Xin
"The key thing is that the palace in the castle, the owner is probably hiding outside the twenty-four castles, in the gap of space. On one occasion, probably the last chance, let's go to the palace again. Lan Xin said
"yes, I see, it's up to you to decide."
Hearing this, Lan Xin nodded, and we began to move towards the next castle.
As we went, we soon entered the seventh castle, and as before, we entered it very smoothly, and then, our goal, the palace within the castle, the direction had been mastered several times before, we followed the shortest distance to the palace in the castle, and through a corner, we reached the palace gate.
It was still a glittering jewel palace, and at the end of the seat sat a small figure. I've seen the doll several times before, and unlike before, the hair and clothes of this doll are blue.
The puppet slumped into the throne that seemed too large for her.
"The color of that doll seems to be different every time." I said
"Let's take the doll away." Blue Heart Road
It's not an interesting proposition, taking it away is the same as touching it, and the result of what we will encounter, based on previous experiences, will undoubtedly be something.
"Give it a try."
But there was no other way, we immediately came, in front of the puppet, Lan Xin reached out to the puppet, and this time he picked up the puppet in one breath. At this moment, the puppet's gaze flickered slightly.
At the same time, many unknown holes appeared around the castle, and those were traps.
I immediately understood, the cave mouth suddenly fired a long arrow, attacking from all directions, at this time, I used the power of the original spirit to release blue light, forming a barrier to resist those incoming blades.
"Hurry up, it's not safe here."
I said as Blue Heart quickly departed in the direction of the outside of the castle.
After successfully coming to the outside of the castle, I said to Lan Xin, "How is it, is there any result?" ”
"Yes, I know where the master is."
"Where?"
I asked, and Blue Heart pointed to a place not far from the prairie, an open place. It's just that the girl in front of me is sure of it.
