As they approached Scott, rumors began to appear on the road, which slowed Charles and Giles to stay in an inn outside Scott, where it seemed that some merchants and civilians had left Sturt.

"Applejack, you're leaving, too. ”

Charles and the two stopped the conversation when they heard the conversation next to them, silently drank the wine in their glasses, and listened with their ears up.

"Yes, who made our house so close to the castle that even if I missed the warmth of home, I had to leave, and the screams of my wife every night when she slept made my heart hurt like a pinprick. Another man in blue slammed his glass on the table and let out a long sigh.

"Yes, I don't know why, there are ghosts in this city, and the originally lively city has also been depressed. ”

"Did you think someone was doing something wrong?" Applejack asked the man in blue, looking up suddenly.

The man in blue sneered, drank all the wine in the cup, and then said: "What can he get? This castle does not belong to anyone, only to the empire, if this is a human evil, it can only be said that this person is not very normal." ”

"Forget it, I still have to take care of my wife, I can't drink more, you drink slowly. The man in blue walked directly to the second floor, leaving a man drinking alone and sighing.

"Charles, it seems that we came at the right time, and we even ran into ghosts. Giles said with a smile, containing a thick irony, I didn't believe the conversation between the two people next to you just now, and it is estimated that it was a monster who was making a monster in it to provoke this group of civilians to be involved in some ghosts, which is ridiculous.

Charles is actually exactly the same as Giles, after all, civilians may not be able to see so-called monsters in their lives, and once they are a little out of their own thinking, the theory of ghosts will come into being.

However, to be on the safe side, Charles still asked the owner about the castle, and after asking Charles, he found that things did not seem to be as simple as they imagined.

To the south of the city is a dense wooded city, famous for its beautiful scenery, which passers-by, whether wealthy merchants, warriors, or even magicians, to admire, as well as the most famous building in it, Jerodik.

It seems that a hundred years ago, there was a wealthy merchant with a lot of wealth in this Sko City, this is the daughter of the city lord he liked, but the daughter of the city lord did not like the rich merchant and gave the rich merchant a problem, that is, to build a huge castle with royal sand to prove the sincerity of the rich merchant, this is known to anyone who heard it This is to refuse the pursuit of the rich merchant, the rich merchant actually poured all his money into building a castle made of royal sand, this move not only made the entire Sko City shake, even several countries next to it also heard the news and rushed to see some of the rare buildings in this hundred years。

The daughter of the city lord was not moved, but was also shocked, and after a long time of understanding, the daughter of the city lord finally determined that the rich merchant was not pursuing himself for status, and finally agreed to the rich merchant's proposal, and the rich merchant and the daughter of the city lord spent their lives happily in this ancient castle, but the position of the city lord did not have anything to do with the rich merchant, but was held by the second child of the city lord, until now.

This rich merchant's name is Jerodik, so now this castle is called Jerodik, although after a hundred years have passed, it does not look a little dilapidated from the outside, Yerodik still has an indescribable charm.

But just five days ago, there were some strange sounds in the castle, and it is said that some people saw vague and shaky figures. The next day a group of people went in and looked at the side, but there was nothing. At night, it was still the same.

On the third day, everyone crowdfunded some funds in the guild and released a five-level search task, but after a five-person team entered, it never came out again, and at this time it attracted attention, and told the city lord, and the task was raised to the third level but still to no avail, and the current guild task has reached the second level, which belongs to the task of national intervention.

Charles told Giles all the information he had heard from his boss, and Giles's original joking heart became cautious.

"How about it? are we still going to Sko City?" Giles consulted Charles's opinion, to be honest, Giles generally kept a respectful heart for dangerous things, nothing in the world was important to his own life, although it seemed that there was nothing wrong with not getting close to Jerodik, but Giles was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Charles thought that since it was only Jerodik who had a problem, then as long as he didn't go, there would be no problem, and the most important thing was that the ocean was close to him, and he was really unwilling to go back like this. Charles said, "We're just coming to see the sea, and we're not going to come near Jerodik, teacher, and I don't think there's no danger." ”

When Giles heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he reluctantly said with his mouth closed: "That's what I said, then I won't change the itinerary." ”

"Then teacher, it's getting late to sleep, and we'll have to go tomorrow. Charles said with a smile, Giles could only go up to the second floor mechanically, no matter how reluctant, now Giles could not refuse, he could only keep comforting himself in his heart for the sake of future enjoyment, which was a lot more comfortable.

In the dimly lit room, the people inside were working in an orderly manner. One of them suddenly spoke, and his voice was slightly crisp: "Have you heard that the person who killed the fat brother is here?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" asked a tall and thin man in the distance staring at the liquid tube in his hand shaking slightly.

"Won't he spoil our good deeds?"

"What do you mean?"

"Kill!"

The man put down the test tube in his hand and was not surprised by the other party's answer, but said contemptuously: "It's easy to say, but dare to do it······ Who knows?"

"You ——!"

"Okay! That man must not move, you two should stop arguing and concentrate on your work, now that this stronghold has been exposed, it may not last long. Another deep voice sounded, and his face was grim. The two people who were in full swing just now lost their voices for a while, and obediently did the work at hand, but the man who shouted 'kill' kept his eyes rolling up and down, and he had other thoughts in his heart.

After the experiment was over, the cold man stopped the tall and thin man and said, "What are you angry with the younger generation, they are young and vigorous now, isn't it good to have momentum?"

The tall and thin man looked at the cold man and couldn't help laughing: "But I just can't get used to it! They all look down on magicians and formations, how can a group of children get their confidence? The death of the fat man not only did not wake them up but also intensified, I think, it is not impossible to let them suffer hardships, you don't have to worry about this matter, let them solve it by themselves, and finally taste the bitter fruit of their own brewing!"

The tall and thin man left without looking back, and the grim man stood in place and looked at the tall and thin man and sighed.

Early in the morning, as before, Charles came to Giles's room to wake him up, and the two of them checked out and left the hotel, and today they were finally able to enter the famous coastal city of Scott.

Finally able to see the ocean, Charles's heart can't calm down, even meditation is useless, he just wants to look forward to seeing the ocean soon.

I have already read the introduction of the ocean countless times in books, this road lies between the sea Aocang continent and the demon continent, forming a natural danger, and the goddess of Hanqing is located in it to guard the human race and monitor the demon race, so it is called the watch sea.

After stepping out of the carriage at the gate of Scott, sniffing the air that had obviously changed its smell, Charles's tone inevitably became eager: "Teacher, let's go to the beach quickly." ”

Giles also forgot about the ghost castle Yerodik because of his anticipation of the ocean, and nodded with a smile.

"Excuse me······ Are you a traveler?"

When Charles and the others were about to leave, a young man next to him came up with a smile, dressed very locally, and had a respectful attitude.

"You are... Charles looked at the man suspiciously, not understanding the point of his approach.

The man bowed first and then said enthusiastically: "Villain Keno, he is considered to be the receptionist of tourists, and generally as long as the travelers appear at the city gate, we will come up and ask." ”

"Oh?" asked Charles with interest, "how do you know I'm a passenger?"

"After many years of doing such a job, I have somewhat developed some eyesight, and I can not only see that the two are tourists, but also that they are extraordinary. Keno said with a smile, "The temperament of the two is different from that of ordinary travelers, there is a kind of nobility that cannot be hidden, and the two must be either rich or noble." ”

Giles smiled smugly when he heard this, and said, "You came to be our receptionist, I feel that you are a good person." ”

Charles, on the other hand, had a soft smile on his face, nodded and did not speak.

"Thank you, two adults, please!" Kino was ecstatic and began to introduce the customs of Scott City to Charles and Giles, and I have to say that Kino has lived here for many years and knows everything about this place, so that the two who have just arrived in Sko City already have a general understanding of this city.

"Keno, your ······ to the one outside the forest"

"Jerodik?"

"Yes, Jerodik, are you familiar with this castle?" asked Charles.

The smile on Kino's face gradually slowed, revealing a ashamed expression: "I can't hide it, I really don't know much about this ancient castle, because of the disappearance, my friends and I don't dare to get close to it, my lord, you must not go, it's really dangerous." ”

Charles smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your concern." ”
