Chapter 325: Enter the Tower
Who would put the gate only at the top of the building? Apparently some person who is not quite nervous. So, are the lichs one of those abnormal people? Of course, they must be.
So when you think about it, it's not surprising that a certain lich has the door of his building on the roof. It's just that how exactly to get up has become a problem for Barrett to solve.
He carries a hook with him, and he can throw it with his own strength. But the top of this triangular tower was flat, and the little ghost had already floated up to confirm it, and there was nothing on it except a triangular gap in the same shape as the tower.
According to the little ghost's description, the gap resembles a closed entrance, but unfortunately there are no handles installed on the entrance. It seems that the lich is not in the habit of opening doors with his hands.
Our wise Death Knight has made the most of his ability to listen to the opinions of others, and hopes to use the wisdom of others to overcome the difficulties in front of him.
At this time, the three Bone Naga sisters stood side by side in front of Barrett, but he couldn't tell who was who was who, and he could only simply tell which one was speaking from the voice coming from the soul fire.
"Can you fly? Saviara asked, "Or can you fly when you take off your heavy armor?"
"No, well, no. Next. Barrett replied. He always felt that the words spoken by this faithful servant were faintly sarcastic.
"Can your mount fly?" said Sigridt, the last skeleton to be caught, following this line of thought, "the previous master's mount can fly, and I vaguely remember that his mount was always lying on the top of the tower, and it was also a skeleton, but it looked lazy. ”
"Some nightmare beasts may be able to fly, but mine can't yet. Let's stop worrying about whether anyone can fly or not. Barrett felt a little helpless, these Bone Naga didn't seem to have much higher IQ than him, "I can say with certainty that no one here can fly except this ghost. ”
Don't you want to think, if I can fly, is that still a problem?
"Then you'll have to climb up. Answer Virginia, who is out of the gate, and spread out all four of your arms, "Alternatively, you can grab a flying undead and let it carry you up." ”
"Then you'll probably need to take off your armor," Saviara added, "because it's too heavy to carry your flying undead." ”
Barrett glared at the white-boned Naga in the middle angrily, not knowing if the person who was staring was right.
Where are the flying undead so easy to find, do you really want me to go back to the 'Peaktooth Fortress' and rent a skeleton griffin and fly over?" Barrett shook his head, temporarily rejecting the rather time-wasting idea.
When he first arrived at the Peaktooth Fortress, he really had plans to try his hand at flying mounts, after all, he had never ridden them in his life. However, the skeletal griffin was not very fast, much worse than the Nightmare Beast, which made him dispel this thought.
It seems that it can only climb up. Barrett glanced up and began to take off his armor to allow him to be more flexible.
"Take off this turtle shell...... I mean armor, armor! It was a wise decision you made, my master," Saviara's voice sounded again, "and, it makes you even more handsome!"
"More handsome!" Siglet's voice repeated.
How much resentment do you have against the Heavy Armor!, Barrett sneered in his heart. The initial bit of complacency and flattery has disappeared by this time. All he wanted now was to go inside the tower and leave with the loot.
As for the three Naga sisters, Barrett intends to leave them all here.
The surface of the tower is uneven, and it seems that this black iron of the tower body is like this where it was cast. That way, you don't have to worry about where you don't have a grip. That is, relying on the fact that he is now an undead body, and even if he falls halfway, he will not be too seriously injured, Barrett is willing to take a risk.
Putting his armor into the Spatial Ring, he walked around the tower again, finding the place with the most bumps on one side, and began his wild climb.
The whole process was surprisingly smooth, and Barrett only failed once in the middle of the way before climbing to the top of the tower.
In that failure, he received some compliments that he didn't know if they were genuine, as well as vague sarcasm. Barrett suddenly discovers that those undead who have no consciousness at all are the best servants. Once any living creature has an autonomous consciousness, it will be more difficult to control.
Anyway, he was a little out of control.
The center of the top of the tower is indeed a triangular gap as the little ghost said. Barrett tapped his fingers near the gap, then took out the rune sword 'Pain', inserted it somewhere in the gap, and pried it hard, but the iron plate did not move.
Barrett mustered up the strength of his whole body and pressed down again, and the steel rune sword was already slightly bent, but this iron plate still didn't move.
It's not that Barrett doesn't have enough power, but that there is a magical power that seals the iron plate. This kind of 'door sealing technique' is absolutely difficult to break through by physical methods alone, but the mage who issued the task of 'finding the treasure of the forbidden castle' has also prepared something for Barrett in advance.
After all, almost all the gates of the 'Forbidden Castle' will basically apply the 'Door Sealing Technique' to prevent those unconscious undead creatures from indiscriminately breaking in. If you can't even pass this first level, let alone go inside to find treasures in the future.
Barrett took out a piece of parchment with a circle attached to it from the Ring of Space and placed it on the iron plate. Then he took out a small piece of magic crystal and placed it in the center of the circle.
The light of the magic flowed through the entire circle, and then there was a soft "bang", the iron plate trembled, and the parchment with the circle attached to it completely shattered, turning into a cloud of dust.
Barrett exerted more force at this time, and the iron plate in the gap obediently warped. He grabbed the edge of the plate with both hands, lifted it all open, and dodged to the side at a rapid pace.
After waiting for a while, no other anomalies were found, and it seemed that the lich who had left and never came back had not placed some magic traps at the doorway.
Barrett stretched out his rune sword and struck it inside, still without any abnormalities. He slowly moved towards the doorway, cautiously poked his head out, and looked inside the tower.
What you see is a deep passage that descends vertically, and it seems to lead to the very bottom of the tower. If you look closely, you can also see that the passage is divided into several floors, and it seems that it should belong to a kind of staircase-like facility, which can be followed to each floor of the tower.
It's just that this staircase design is a bit strange, not only is the shape unusual, but there are no steps.
There were no steps or ladders, so Barrett could only take the Enchanted Rope out of the Spatial Ring, wrap it around the hinges at the opening and closing of the triangular iron plate, and lower it down the passage.
Barrett cautiously followed the Demonic Rope to the first floor of the tower, counting from top to bottom.
Looking at the furnishings here, it is actually a study-like room. The surrounding bookshelves are filled with a wide variety of books. The books are magically protected, and the paper has not rotted due to the negative energy of the dark realm, and it always looks like new.
There is also a desk in the middle of the study, on which are also placed a few books. Barrett stepped forward and casually glanced at the names of the books: "Rainbow Dragon Explained", "How to Make a Bone Dragon", etc.
