Because Leo made a lot of noise in the forest, the caravan resting in the castle became much more nervous, and many of them took up their weapons and stood on top of the somewhat broken walls to look at the forest, trying to see through what was happening under the flat tops of the trees.

Leo's return to the castle did not attract the attention of the rest of the caravan, and even the others did not notice that Leo had left the castle, their attention was all drawn to the previous movement, and some of the bold and curious people even felt that they should send someone into the forest to see what was going on.

However, this proposal was quickly rejected, after all, the sight of the hidden beasts in the forest last night was still fresh in the memory of the caravan people, and no one had the courage to take on the task of exploring the forest.

However, although the caravan rejected the decision to explore the forest, it was careful to place some lethal traps in several key parts of the castle, as well as some guard traps in other places in case something unexpected happened.

After returning to the caravan camp, Leo did not immediately start exploring the castle, but temporarily put himself in his pack cart tent and carefully sorted out the harvest he had just made.

Now it is certain that the forest outside is very entangled with the power of the abyss, and it has even caused the species there to undergo abyssal mutations, such as the giant python that is more than fifty meters long, can already be regarded as an abyssal creature.

Since the forest and the power of the abyss are greatly entangled, the castle so close to the forest must not be inevitably affected by the power of the abyss, so that all kinds of terrifying legends about the castle will have a basis.

In addition, judging from the forest outside, the source of the abyssal power that caused the forest mutation in the first place should no longer be there, or it is invalid, otherwise, the giant python just now would definitely resonate with the source of the abyssal power.

If that were the case, then perhaps the horrors of the castle would never have happened again.

Thinking of this, Leo's interest in exploring the castle waned a lot.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the caravan camp, something unusual seemed to have happened outside, Leo opened the curtain of the tent and looked out, and found a large group of people walking towards another tent with a few people on their backs, and it seemed that the two young men were not doing well.

"What's wrong?" Leo recognized at a glance that the two young men who were being carried seemed to be one of the people who had proposed to explore the castle not long ago, so he instructed Sans, the driver of the packer next to him, "Go and inquire, what is going on?"

Hearing Leo's command, Sans immediately got into the crowd, and with the relationship and eloquence he had been pulling in the past few days, he soon got the news that Leo wanted.

After hearing the news from Sans, Leo's curiosity, which had just been extinguished, grew again.

When the young men entered the castle on the top floor, they went off their own adventures, and when they parted, they agreed on a time to meet, and made a bet on what kind of treasures they would find in the castle.

However, when the appointed time had arrived, several of the young men returned to the council hall of the upper castle and found that two young men were missing. After that, they went to look for them, and soon found the two of them in the same well-preserved empty room, and found that both of them were already unconscious in the room, and they couldn't wake up no matter how much they shouted, which was the movement that had just caused a commotion in the whole camp.

After discovering this situation, Leo naturally thought of the time when the two young men were unconscious, it seemed that it was just when he solved the giant python that caused the abnormal failure of the entire forest, and the two were obviously somewhat related, so the unknown thing that caused the terrifying legend in the ancient castle is still here.

The only thing that Leo didn't quite understand was that the two young men were unconscious, not dead as legend has suggested.

Thinking of this, Leo felt that he should check on the situation of the two young people, so he directly used the spirit net to investigate the past.

Soon the situation inside the tent was completely investigated by the spirit network, and now the tent was very lively, and the people in charge of the caravan came to the tent, right next to the beds of the two unconscious young people, discussing whether they should immediately withdraw from the camp in the square and leave the ancient castle.

It was evident that the situation of the two young men had frightened these people, and many of them had followed other caravans to spend the night in the castle, but nothing had happened to them, so they at first thought that they were just unreliable rumors, so that when the caravan decided to rest in the castle for a day and a night, they agreed.

But now the symptoms of the two children, although somewhat inconsistent with the legend, are enough to cause panic in the hearts of these people, and they all fear that they will become the next unconscious.

It's just that the camp doesn't say that it can be pulled out, because after passing the ancient castle, it is all mountain roads, and there is no place to provide such a large camp as a caravan to camp, so you can only climb over the Quincy Snow Mountain in one go.

It's just that the road over the Quincy Snow Mountain is a bit rough and dangerous in some places, and if you are not careful, you may fall under the cliff on the other side of the mountain road, so you must cultivate enough mental and physical strength before you can climb the mountain.

Everyone present knew very well that with the current mental and physical strength of the caravan, something would definitely happen if they forcibly climbed the mountain.

But it would not be realistic to withdraw from the castle and retreat to the bottom of the mountain, because in the early morning, it began to rain at the bottom of the mountain, and the mud on the ground was even more so muddy than last night that it was impossible to camp at all.

Leo was not interested in what was being discussed in the tent, and after learning a little about the situation, he put the main purpose of the spirit net investigation on the two young men lying on the tent bed.

The energy waves generated by the spirit network scanned back and forth in the young man's body several times, and the detailed information of the two people's bodies was obtained.

"Something is wrong!" Leo quickly discovered something unusual after obtaining the information of the two of them.

Because judging from the function of various organs in the body of the two, the two should have entered a deep sleep, but through the analysis of the surge fluctuations of the neurons in the brains of the two, the two are in a state of light sleep, which is often referred to as a dream sleep state. In this state of sleep, people will start dreaming, but the body will also produce different degrees of movement with the dream, and the internal organs will also have a corresponding metabolism.

This knowledge comes from the interstellar explorers in the early days of the Earth Federation, when the Earth Federation had just entered the period of galactic civilization, all the exploration spacecraft flew very slowly, and it often took several years or even more than ten years to fly from one galaxy to another, so the Earth Federation created such a thing as the dormant freezing method.

It is to let the astronauts enter a dormant and frozen state, and then the spacecraft master brain assists the astronauts to enter a light sleep state regularly, and the consciousness is integrated into the artificial virtual world to live and learn, and at the same time, the body will also obtain enough nutrients from the nutrient solution of the hibernation module, so as to maintain a long-term space mission.

Although the Earth Federation soon had contact with the alien civilization and obtained the subspace engine, and this dormant freezing method also lost its effect, the relevant content was recorded in the cosmic history of the Earth Federation, and almost every cyborg will be infused with this knowledge when they leave the factory, and Leo is no exception.

However, the situation of these two young people is obviously completely contrary to the results of the relevant experiments of the Earth Federation, their brains and bodies seem to have separated into two disconnected individuals, and their bodies have entered a deep sleep state, but their brains have stayed in the bottom sleep, what the consequences of this situation will eventually be, Leo hardly has to think about the consequences of this, if this situation is not alleviated, the two young people will soon die in their sleep, just like the victims of the legendary night in the castle.

After understanding the situation, Leo retracted the spirit net, left the pack cart, entered the castle, and followed the broken spiral staircase to the upper floor of the castle, which was supposed to be the residence of the castle's senior generals and nobles.

Because it is built against the mountain, most of the houses here are carved close to the mountain wall, and most of these houses are still well preserved, except for the brick and stone buildings built on the outside floor that have collapsed due to age, vines and plants, etc.

Judging from the various traces here, no one should have been here for a long time, and the wooden furniture in the room has long since decayed, only some stone furniture is still in its original state, so that people can see some of the life scenes of the past.

Once Leo reached the upper floor, he went straight into the high-rise chamber with a collapsed roof, then turned left and passed through a ruined corridor to a room overgrown with vines at the end.

According to the location, this room should be the room where the clergy who accompanied the army lived.

Although a thousand years ago, the Church of the Hill Kings did not have such a high status in the Kingdom of Mares as it is now, but the Mares military has always been a concentration of faithful believers in the Hill Kings, so the military of the Kingdom of Mares has an unwritten rule, that is, every army must be equipped with a clergy of the Hill Kings Church to bless the soldiers in the army.

It is precisely because the clergy are extremely important to the army that the treatment of the clergy is naturally the best, which can be seen from the size of the clergy's room, which is the largest in the entire castle, among all the rooms where they live, even larger than the rooms where the nobles and knights of the castle live.

The reason why Leo quickly recognized that this room belonged to the clergy of the army was not judging by the size of the room, but by the large number of reliefs related to the king of the hill in the room.

For example, on the stone wall facing the stone bed in the room, there is a carefully hewn mountain king emblem, even after so many years, this stone emblem is still well preserved.

In addition, there are a large number of mythological stories recorded in the scriptures of the king of the hill in the reliefs on the walls around the room, and anyone who enters this room can feel a very strong religious atmosphere.

Other than that, there is the breath of nature, because this house is the house with the most vines in the entire castle, which cover almost the entire walls, roof and floor of the room.

If it weren't for the two young people, Leo might not have any opinion about this room, but now seeing this room, seeing such a dense concentration of vines and plants in the room, Leo sensed that something was wrong with the room.

So, Leo immediately set to work and began to clear the vines in the room.

The tiny vine branches in the room were torn off the walls with psionic energy, and the thick vines were cut into pieces with cross-swords, and soon the plants and vines in the room were cleared, and the various reliefs on the walls of the room were also reappeared after being hidden for hundreds of years.

At this moment, Leo immediately noticed something unusual, if the reliefs of the mythical stories in the canon of the king of the hill were all on the ceiling and walls, he could still understand it, but the problem was that these reliefs were also on the ground, and there were a large number of emblem symbols representing the king of the hill on the ground.

In other words, as long as you enter this house, no matter how careful you are, you will probably guess the Holy Emblem of the King of the Hill on the ground, which is definitely a blasphemous sin in the Church of the King of the Hill.

"It seems that the clergy of the Church of the King of the Hill are going to have their faith discounted!" Seeing all this in front of him, Leo couldn't help but muttered to himself.

There is no doubt that the relief in the room can only be done by people who have extreme hatred for the Church of the King of the Hill, and it is a bit strange for a clergyman of the Church of the King of the Hill, or even a high-ranking clergyman, to do such a thing.

Because, there are gods in the world of Velun, and any high-level clergy will inevitably accept the divine skills of the gods, and only by obtaining the divine gifts of the gods can they become high-level clergy, and the divine powers of the gods naturally bring the divine power of the gods, and these divine powers will affect the clergy all the time, making those clergy more and more loyal, so any high-level clergy must be a very loyal believer.

But now there is an exception here, if this clergyman appears in the current era of the retirement of the gods, it is difficult for the gods to grant divine magic to the clergy, and the influence on the clergy will naturally weaken a lot, and it is not strange for the senior clergy to have one or two pseudo-believers.

But you must know that the owner of this room was a clergyman a thousand years ago, at that time, the gods were still able to come to the present world frequently, and the evil gods and righteous gods were fighting openly and secretly in the world of Vilun, and the senior clergy at that time would inevitably obtain a large number of divine arts, and they would inevitably be affected by the divine power of the gods.

"How did he do that?" Leo couldn't help but wonder how this hypocrite who was hostile to the King of the Hill had deceived the Church of the King of the Hill at the time and became a high-ranking cleric of the King of the Hill.
