Chapter 322: Confined Castle
If he could breathe, Barrett would definitely breathe a long sigh of relief, because every time he collected the Void Stone, he was extremely nervous, but fortunately there were no unnecessary accidents in between.
He withdrew the gemstone ring with the pupil from his little finger and placed it back inside the rectangular Mithril box. The purple eyes on the ring blinked at him twice, and he seemed to be a little reluctant.
"I understand, I understand. Barrett touched the newly placed fourth ring in the box, "It's always sad to part, but at least there are companions by your side who will always be with you." ”
With that, he ran his finger over the other three purple gemstone rings with pupils and blinking, "Hey, girls, did you miss me? I'm sorry, I'm going to take your youngest sister away." Then, he picked up the last ring from the end of the Mithril box and slipped it over his little finger, "Trust me, we're going to get along." ”
Retracting the Mithril Box into the Spatial Ring, Barrett subconsciously shook his head, he felt that his mental state was a little unstable.
Damn, I must have been relaxing in a long time, he thought. I should really go out now, go back to the main material world, have a good meal, and then vent to my heart's content.
In terms of eating, the roast rabbit with a little blood streaked first appeared in his mind. No spices, brown rabbit meat with just a sprinkle of salt, and a bag of low-quality rye beer, the most adventurous way to eat, full of wilderness, but sure to taste quite good.
Barrett licked her withered lips with her shriveled tongue, a food that had once been quite mundane, but now it was as tempting as a king's dinner.
As for the other aspect of demand...... , forget it, don't think about it, it's better to complete the task first.
He turned and jumped off the rock, but sent down the two strange zombies not far away, and they actually fought each other. The zombies fell to the ground, hugging each other, slapping each other's heads with stiff and clumsy palms.
Barrett watched from the side for a while, and found that with the weak lethality of these two zombies, it would definitely take a long time to determine the winner.
"That, you're busy, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Barrett stepped onto the Nightmare Warhorse and rode away, leaving behind the two zombies staring at each other on the ground.
......
In the barren darkness, the rubble was jagged. Among the rubble of various shapes, a rusty tower stands silently.
The tower looks old, and is made of some kind of uneven black iron, and the overall shape is like a fairly regular equilateral triangle.
The strange black iron has a good resistance to negative energy, but as time goes by, the tower is still corroded and festering, and some of them are out of shape.
Wandering around the tower are tall skeletons wearing rusty scaly armor and wielding long knives in both hands, some Flesh and Bone Golems whose hands have been transformed into sharp blades, and several Bone Naga with four arms, each holding a scimitar.
These skeletal undead guard the tower day after day, dutifully eliminating any uninvited guests who dare to approach it.
And our death knight, Barrett, chased a spider-shaped zombie called the 'Twisted Web' all the way to the area where the Tower is located.
Although the Twisted Web is spider-shaped, its spider torso has eight claws that resemble humanoid arms. Not only that, but even the head of this thing is a female head with eyes covered in cobwebs.
The appearance of the female head is quite delicate, but the overall appearance of the undead spirit of the 'Twisted Web' is quite hideous. And in the mouth of the delicate female head, some small spider dried corpses can be vomited from time to time, which is really a bit terrifying.
According to the list of tasks, the Undead of the Twisted Web was the result of a special necromancy curse from ancient times. This curse has long been banned by the Magic Empire for some reason that is not acceptable to outsiders, and the Guild now follows this rule. But the curse itself still exists and spreads within the Dark Realm, and continues to coalesce into new 'warped webs'.
The eight claws of the 'Twisted Web' don't look like human arms, but they are quite fast, only slightly slower than the Nightmare Beast moving at full speed.
Barrett chased after him for a long time, and continued to use the force of frost to slow down his movements, before he could catch up with the strange-looking undead. After slashing it and freezing it, Barrett cut off the delicate head of the 'Twisted Web' with its eyes covered and placed it in a special wooden box.
At that time, the little ghost, who had returned to normal, was still hiding behind Barrett and covering his eyes and asked, "Who would want to collect such a scary thing, big uncle." If I could still dream, I would have been scared to have a long nightmare when I saw this thing. I used to see Aunt Peggy's dog run over by a wagon and wake up for weeks at night, when my mom would let me sleep with them. ”
"Who? The mage who posted the quest would. Barrett replied as she put the box containing the female skull into the Spatial Ring.
"But why did that mage collect so many strange things?" the little ghost asked again, "what does he want to do?"
"Who knows. Barrett had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't say it.
The location where the Twisted Web had been killed wasn't far from the tower in front of him, and Barrett followed the constructed raven that led the way, and it didn't take long for him to come here.
Barrett threw his left arm into the air and swung his index finger twice at random, after which the constructed raven began to spiral and swoop, landing lightly on his shoulder.
Barrett habitually took out a broken crystal and a few grains of corn and threw them into the raven's mouth. "Where is this?" he asked, "is it a 'Castle of Confinement'?"
He looked at the tower and the guards around it, "Could it be that some hidden and sealed treasure is inside this tower?"
The raven tilted its head and swallowed it all, then spread its metal wings and flapped it a few times, "Treasure!" It pointed in the direction of the tower with its beak, and tapped Barritt on the head, and cried out in a loud voice, "Treasure, treasure!"
"It seems that this is indeed a 'castle of confinement'. Barrett gently touched the flame mane around the nightmare's neck.
"But how can I get in? Uncle Big. The little ghost leaned over and wanted him to touch it.
"Let's take a look and then see. Barrett slapped the little one on the head.
He ran around the tower from a distance, and basically figured out the type and number of guards outside the tower. However, he could not find the location of the tower's gates, or any other suspicious traces of the gates.
It seems that the only way to do this is to kill these guards first, and then slowly look for them.
