Chapter 36: Enter the Castle
Father John's mouth whispered a language with a strange rhythm, and his fingers gently brushed the Blue Edge Sword, and so on dozens of times, until the holy water was exhausted, and a piercing white light suddenly appeared on the Blue Edge Sword, which became like a lightsaber, lasted for a few seconds and then returned to normal.

After enchanting the Blue Blade Sword with holy water, Father John seemed a little tired, exchanged the Blue Edge Sword to Di Lu, and said softly: "This sword has the enchantment of holy water and my annual blessing as a priest, it can cause trauma to most monsters, although the guys in the castle are not easy to deal with, but with this sword in hand, you should not encounter too much trouble." ”
Hearing the priest's words, Leo's eyes flashed, Father John knew the creatures in the castle, or had he fought with him.
However, Father John apparently did not tell them what he meant, and did not speak again after returning the Blue Blade to Delu, and did not speak again until he had sent the two to the door of the church, and then told Leo that he had asked Leo to help.
"I've heard from the children of the Old Town that there was a hero with the number 76 on his back who defeated the biggest gang there, and I had seen that gentleman in the manor of His Excellency the Lord, and I wanted His Excellency to do him a favor. ”
When Leo heard this, he already had some guesses in his heart that the favor that Father John asked him to help should have something to do with the Old Town.
Sure enough, Father John asked Leo to send No. 76 and the garrison to clear out some of the remaining small gangs in the old city, and the news that No. 76 alone eliminated the Brotherhood and defeated the leader of the Brotherhood had already spread in the Old Town, and even spread that No. 76 was a demon wearing a mask, and if No. 76 was sent to clean up the Old Town with the garrison, maybe the cancer in the Old City could be completely removed.
After listening to Father John's request, Leo agreed without the slightest hesitation, which made Father John stunned for a moment, and finally showed a gentle smile.
"Good luck to you. ”
It was dark and night was approaching, but Delu was so eager to get to the castle that Leo had to go back to the manor to say hello to the others before heading to the cliff with Delu.
The cliff on which the castle sits is located is located in the southeast of Kirtland, and below the cliff is the outer sea of the Endless Ocean, all the way to the rocky road, but due to this geographical environment, few magical beasts appear here.
It was completely dark on the road, and Leo and Dilu walked along the newly built wall, with a torch, and after about ten minutes came to the end of the wall, at the foot of the cliff.
They didn't feel the force stopping them, but there was a dark ravine on the way to the cliff, which was only accessible to a dilapidated wooden drawbridge.
Dilu also seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to walk on such a suspension bridge, and wanted to jump directly to the opposite side by his own strength, but was stopped by Leo.
Leo threw the torch out of his hand with all his might, and the torch arced through the air, but finally fell straight down, causing Dilu to look shocked.
The torch had just flown hundreds of meters away, but in the end it still did not fall to the opposite side, and if Dilu had jumped over it, there might be some accident in this pitch black.
"It looks like the only way to go is to take this suspension bridge. Delu said, Leo nodded noncommittally, and the two of them walked onto the drawbridge one after the other, and a puff of dust shook off the plank, causing them to frown again.
The two walked on the suspension bridge, their bodies tense all the time, in preparation for sudden accidents, but except for some shaking along the way, nothing special happened, and they arrived at the opposite side without danger.
Di Lu glanced back, calculated in his heart, and exhaled lightly: "The distance of more than four hundred meters, if I really jumped just now, I should have ended up with the torch thrown by my junior brother." ”
Leo smiled, and the two of them continued to walk up the hill, soon seeing the castle.
Compared with the silhouette seen in the distance before, there are four corner towers around the ancient castle in front of the two of them, and there are corridors connected to each other between the corner towers, and there are some holes in the outer wall of the corridors, and some abandoned bows and crossbows can be faintly seen placed on them.
The terrain in front of the castle is extremely open relative to the bottom of the mountain, and anyone who appears from here is estimated to be unable to jump into the eyes of the owner of the castle, so the two of them walked on the only road and walked to the gate of the castle.
The gate was made of wood, filled with fist-sized spikes, with no gaps in between, and Leo looked up along the gate to the wall, and found two strong black ropes on either side.
"The gate is supposed to be hung open, so let's go straight through the wall. Leo said.
Dilu nodded, and with a tap of his toes, he easily climbed the wall several people high, standing on the wall, everything in the castle could be seen at a glance.
Four corner towers enclose a main castle in the middle, and there are also many iron cages placed next to one of the corner towers, and many large skeletons are placed inside, which should be captured magical beasts.
At this moment, Leo felt a sense of being spied on, and when he looked into the only window on the third floor of the main castle, he saw a tall black shadow at first sight, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Senior brother, do you feel it too?" asked Di Lu beside him, Leo nodded, glanced at Di Lu, jumped off the city wall, bypassed the iron cages containing the wreckage, pushed open the gate of the main castle, and entered the castle.
After the two entered, the sky outside suddenly changed, and a strong wind swept over the castle, and dark clouds formed the shape of a bat.
Bang!
The two of them, who had barely walked a few steps, heard a loud bang coming from behind, the door that had just been pushed open had been closed, and the few bits of moonlight had been driven away, and the hall was plunged into darkness.
Fortunately, the two of them are not ordinary people, they can do simple night vision, and they look left and right in the hall on the first floor.
In the middle of the hall was a silver-white square table with unlit candles and neat knives and forks, flanked by some precious ornaments, but most of them were oil paintings on the walls.
Most of these paintings depict a handsome man, with only a few depictions of animals, cats, pigs, and mice.
"There shouldn't be anything else, let's go up and have a look. Delu picked up a silver wine glass from the table and played with it for a moment, then looked at the spiral staircase at the end of the hall.
Leo nodded, and the two of them walked down the staircase made of unknown wood, and there was a slight creaking sound under their feet, which was very harsh in the silence.
There is also a huge oil painting on the wall next to the staircase, on which a middle-aged man is depicted, which can be seen to be the same person as the handsome man in the oil painting in the hall, but on this painting he has a beard, which has a sense of calmness and vicissitudes.
Leo glanced at the oil painting a few times, and Dilu had already walked around the corner, and seeing that Dilu was about to disappear in front of him, Leo withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, the feeling of being watched resurfaced, making Leo feel cold in the back.
Looking back, Leo's face changed slightly, and his brows furrowed.
The huge oil painting is gone.
