This black rope is the symbol of the infamous black rope society. And these coachmen are by no means like the wine delivery worker, who only wore that black rope for the sake of coolness and fashion.

In other words, this convoy is the grain transportation team of the Black Rope Society.

The lord of Markwei is an important figure of the Black Rope Society, so in this place of Markwei, there must be a stronghold of the Black Rope Society, but Su Wen didn't expect that this organization would actually set up a stronghold on the ancient battlefield outside the city.

In the ancient battlefield where monsters are raging, what special means did the Black Rope Society rely on to live here, right? After all, Su Wen had seen the terrifying secret method of the Black Rope Society's assassins turning into monsters a long time ago.

It is no wonder that various countries have organized so many clean-up operations, but they have not eradicated this organization. After all, no one thought that they would arrange their stronghold in this deserted ancient battlefield.

Why don't you go along?

Su Wen became curious about this convoy, and suddenly had the idea of going over to take a look. Anyway, these Towers of Oblivion are fixed to this land and will not disappear, and the Black Rope Society is not so easy to find.

Moreover, maybe you will find something about yourself in the stronghold of the Black Rope Society. After all, the history of the Black Rope Society is quite long, and after so many years, it has not explored this ancient battlefield, and no one will believe it.

So, Su Wen simply fell to the ground, silently released an enhanced stealth technique, and then approached the transport team in a half-squatting posture, with a cat on his waist.

With the perception of these coachmen, it is absolutely impossible to find Su Wen.

After approaching the transport team, Su Wen jumped directly into the caravan, and then watched the sun rise in the east all the way as the caravan swayed regularly.

The sunlight swept over the convoy, pulling the shadows long, and the entire ancient battlefield began to light up, and the nocturnal monsters also hibernated.

As the convoy deepened, Su Wen felt that the average level of the nearby monsters was also constantly improving. The terrain ahead is no longer an endless plain, but has begun to undulate.

Su Wen estimated that the more he advanced to the center of the ancient battlefield, the more complicated the terrain became.

Finally, when the shadow of the caravan was so short that it was almost trampled underfoot, the entire convoy, in front of a building, stopped.

It's hard to imagine that there are such intact buildings in this desolate ancient battlefield. The building is somewhat similar to a snow castle, but much smaller and only three stories taller.

Su Wen jumped out of the caravan and looked around.

It was at the foot of a hill that was not as desolate as the road came from, but was covered with one bush after another, and in the midst of these bushes a tree rose from time to time. Not far away, there is a lake with a few small wooden houses.

The driver drove the car to the door and shouted loudly for the people inside to open the door.

After two shouts, a member of the Black Rope Society wearing a hat poked his head out of the platform above and waved his hand. After a while, the door gradually opened, and two gray-clothed men with scimitars on their waists came out of it.

The two gray-clothed men passed by Su Wen, walked to the caravan, lifted the curtain, checked it a little, and then put the convoy in.

Su Wen also followed behind the convoy and slipped into the building.

From the outside, this castle can only accommodate a hundred people at most, but Su Wen found that this castle not only has a building on the ground, but also a huge space that extends underground.

The specific number of members of the Black Rope Society here is not something that Su Wen can estimate.

Although Su Wen knew the number of materials loaded on the four cars, he didn't know the frequency of the Black Rope Society's transport team.

When the coachmen arrived, they handed over the formalities with one of the grey men in the castle, and then went together to a rest room, where they needed plenty of sleep after a hard night's journey.

More than a dozen members of the Black Rope Society, who seemed to have a low status, also came from somewhere, pulled a cart and carried a flat burden, and began to unload the goods.

Su Wen followed one of the members and looked at the warehouse of the destination they were transporting.

This storehouse is built on the basement level, which is separate from the rest of the world, and the space in the storeroom is quite large, and there are various materials piled up like a hill inside.

Compared with the materials in the warehouse, the goods transported this time can probably only be regarded as routine supplies, right?

In addition to the Malenor Empire, the business scope of the Black Rope Society also has a large market space in the north and west, although it is now a time of peace, but there is still gossip about the actions of the Black Rope Society, which circulates in the taverns and adventurer unions in various cities.

With that high commission, feeding this group of people can probably only barely break even, but in the previous turbulence, the Black Rope Society should have saved enough money. In addition to the Assassins' commissions, there must have been other industries elsewhere in the Black Rope Society, both illegal and legal.

In other words, this place is a spark of the Black Rope Society, or even ...... Their lair?

Quite possibly.

For the study of monster science, it is most suitable to carry out this place where monsters are rampant. And the history of the Black Rope Society also shows the role of various monster-related skills in their growth.

The average strength of these grassroots personnel is only the silver high rank, which is about the same as the students in the Maleno Imperial Academy, that is, the normal adult level. And the great, Su Wen hasn't found it yet, it should be on the upper floor or underground of this building.

And those powerful assassins are estimated to be distributed in all corners of the continent, and they will not stay in this old lair. After all, with the ancient battlefield and a large number of monsters as a natural barrier, who would find here?

Su Wen also took advantage of the convenience of stealth to wander around in this castle, and it didn't take long to figure out the layout and structure of the entire castle.

One-third of the castle is used for living rooms, another third is a place similar to an office, during which some men and women stay in the office, idle or working on papers, and the last third is a variety of special rooms, such as reception rooms, toilets, kitchens, dining rooms, etc.

In the entire above-ground part, Su Wen didn't find anything useful. If it weren't for the ancient battlefield, Su Wen said that this was a bank office building in Wangcheng, and it would probably be believed.

Then, Su Wen shifted his target to the underground part.

Perhaps he was confident enough in the security measures, when entering the underground part, Su Wen was almost unhindered, although there was an iron gate, but judging from the state of the bolt and chain, it should be open all year round, and it was also unguarded, so Su Wen easily entered this underground.

After passing through a long corridor, Su Wen came to a dungeon like the underground palace under the academy town. Because of the human presence, the whole dungeon is not dark at all, and at intervals, there are hedron lamps illuminating.

The models of these spar lamps are actually the latest.

The content of the dungeon is much richer, and Su Wen didn't go far before he found many magic laboratories, as well as infirmaries, warehouses, rest rooms, and cages where some monsters were imprisoned.

These cages have layers of magic seals and alarm systems, and most of the monsters imprisoned in them are ordinary monsters of the gold level, if these monsters escape from the cages, I don't know what kind of methods these people will use to stop them.

The storehouse is also stored with some valuable monster materials and spell-casting tools, and similarly, the locks in the warehouse are also reinforced layer by layer, although it is like a piece of toilet paper to Su Wen, but he has no reason to break it.

Su Wen continued to walk down, and in the room below, Su Wen also found a high-level magician who was practicing in retreat, this magician's magic power was all with an obvious monster aura, and the strength level was probably about the same as Warrent's assistant Xiwen.

In addition to this platinum-level magician, there are also several powerhouses who are resting, scattered in various rooms. These people are probably a group of masters who stayed at the headquarters.

However, these are all among the best masters outside, but they didn't even feel Su Wen.

When Su Wen reached the end of a staircase, his eyes lit up.

At the end of this staircase, there is an iron door, and behind the iron gate, there is a somewhat dark passage, which is different from the dungeon full of life just now, it looks quiet and old.

That said, it's a lesser-visited place.

Su Wen gently pushed the door, then walked in and closed the door with his hand.

"It turned out to be a prison cell...... Su Wen touched his chin and looked at the scene behind the iron railings on both sides.

Most of the nearby cells were empty, with nothing in them, and in the small hall ahead, three jailers were playing cards around a table with an old-fashioned hedron lamp hanging from the ceiling above the table, and three piles of gambling money on the table.

Judging from the jailer's face, even the winner with the richest bet was not so happy with the expression on his face.

In this castle, the people who can be sent as jailers probably belong to the lowest rank. If Su Wen was to choose, Su Wen would rather choose to move the goods, at least, he could see the sunshine.

So, who is being held here?

With three jailers guarding it, this cell naturally will not be idle.

Su Wen continued to take a step.

In the first cell after the three jailers was a middle-aged man, lying sideways on a straw-paved bed, seemingly sleeping, his hands and feet hanging a pair of clanging shackles. There is a flow of magic on the shackles, which should have played a role in restricting the operation of the fighting spirit.

Su Wen stopped and looked at him twice, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

In a cage in front of him, an old man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a wooden plate at the head of the bed, who should have just finished breakfast. The old man's expression was rather indifferent, and on the wall of his cage, a cross representing the Cult of God was depicted, which he should have carved himself.

Probably some kind of sacrifice of the Cult of God.

The old man's hands were also shackled, but the style was different from that of the middle-aged man, and it was supposed to be used to limit the operation of the magic.

A warrior, a magician.

can be imprisoned by the Black Rope Society, presumably not some nameless person.

While Su Wen was thinking about whether to get these two people out and what the impact would be if they got out, there was a sudden clanging metal crash in the cage in front of him.

"Ahh......hh

After the crash stopped, there was another moan that seemed to be in amazement.

"What are you arguing about! Do you want to die?" a jailer, probably in a bad mood because of the loss of money, picked up a wooden plate from the table, threw it at the cell, and scolded angrily.

Su Wen tilted his head slightly, dodged the wooden plate that flew over, and then walked to the cell.

Locked in the cell was a thin teenager.

The boy's excessively long hair was a little messy, his face was covered with dust, and his clothes were old and gray. Coupled with the shackles that were obviously much larger than his hands and feet, the whole person looked quite depressed.

However, the boy's eyes were full of hope.

Su Wen felt this kind of look many times in the fragments of memory, but after waking up, he only saw it twice, once when he was dazed, when he saw Ellie's eyes when she was dying in the Tower of Oblivion, and once, when Marlena knelt down on the road to worship her adoptive parents.

This is the third time.

The young man had a wooden pendant hanging around his neck, and at this time, he was holding the pendant in both hands, and the hope in his eyes and the direction he was throwing were also this pendant.

Because this ordinary wooden pendant, at this time, actually shimmered with a light blue shimmer!

What's going on?

Su Wen looked at the pendant, and then, his pupils were actually a little dilated because of surprise.

Because the shape of the wooden pendant is almost identical to the stone statue that Ellie found in the dungeon, although the appearance is different in many details.

But the artistic image that the carver wanted to convey was, in Su Wen's view, exactly the same! These two statues are the same thing!

Inside Ellie's statue was a dagger that Su Wen had made, and this dagger was now hanging from his waist. And the glimmer of light on the wooden sculpture in front of him made Su Wen feel a little kind.

Here's something about him!

Su Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is probably the so-called, the arrangement of fate, right?

After laughing, Su Wen opened the door of the cell, lifted the invisibility technique, and revealed his figure.

The young man only felt that his eyes were flickering, and then, a man dressed as an adventurer suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sudden change made the young man's mouth open wide, and the excitement of emotion made his lips tremble a little, but for a while, he couldn't make any sound.

Su Wen smiled comfortingly, then put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture to the young man.
