Having finalized the order of action, Besco descended about 50 feet along the rope used by the goblins to enter and exit, and landed on the platform at the entrance to the castle, the alert Besco carefully controlled his speed, and his feet only made a soft "click" when they landed on solid ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was a narrow platform, covered in gravel, rubble, and the bones of small animals, with a crudely crafted spiral ladder at the edge of the platform that spiraled downwards and disappeared into the darkness deep in the rift.

After Besco landed, Kirito followed, and he also noticed the sound of his own convergence, as if it had been absorbed by his black leather boots, and there was almost no sound at all.

Besco glanced at the temporary companion and wondered if it was from some special unit dedicated to assassination and covert missions.

The third to descend was Todak, the bearded dwarf with enough strength and rope strength to support him and the weight of his armor, though he didn't take off his scales and shield, as he didn't think it was a problem.

Mixed with copper and yellow steel, a metal unique to the dwarves, the yellowish iron boots landed on the platform, making a much louder sound than the previous two, and the sound of the collision could not spread through the rift and appeared louder than usual.

Todak apparently alarmed the natives of the area, as the pile of rubble at his feet exploded, and three dinosaurs the size of hounds pounced on the noisy dwarf from the opposite direction.

The grey fur was stained with mud and blood, and the teeth glowed green, a creature responsible for the spread of many diseases.

Todak, who landed unsteadily, didn't have time to dodge, and three dinosaurs bit down on his scales without hindrance.

But that's about it, the heavy armor is a powerful defense against such a low-direct attack, and the dwarven warriors stand firmly in place. Didn't even shake your feet from the impact.

Todak roared, and swung forward with his heavy dwarven axe in both hands, the sharp blade easily slicing through the gray dirty hair of the dinosaur, and the unabated heavy axe smashed into the head of the other dinosaur, whose head twisted unnaturally after a click, and his eyes bulged as if he was not alive.

The third dinosaur is pierced through the spine with a thin sword. Nail to the ground.

"Yo man, when did you master the homeopathic slash?" Besco whistled at the dwarf as he drew his sword and wiped it.

"Last month. Todak rubbed his red nose and said with some smugness.

After dealing with the sneak attack of the more, Shirley also landed, but she floated down slowly.

"Nothing was found except for some large rats. Shirley said to them.

The rift, which was less than ten meters wide, sheltered itself from the sun, and the platform was already dark, so Besco took out a torch and lit it, and threw the ember matchstick into the depths of the rift.

"Hmm...... These footprints. "By the light of the fire. Besco checked the platform and found some minor things.

There are many differences between human footprints and goblin footprints, and there are some other people's footprints on this platform - human footprints other than them.

"This should belong to the adventurers from a month ago, and it can be confirmed that they also entered the ruins from this location. Besco spoke.

Descending the spiral staircase, thanks to Dak, the dinosaur at the entrance has been attracted and dealt with, and there is no danger in walking on the spiral staircase. The outline of a castle emerges from the darkness, an underground castle long abandoned. But the majestic building still impresses visitors, and there is silence all around. The icy air was filled with the smell of death.

After two very small platforms, a spiral staircase takes several new guests to a small open space, which looks like a parade stand on the second floor of the castle due to the castle's deep burial in the ground. The clearing, which stretches to the north and south, is surrounded by a large number of broken stone pillars, and the castle in front of you is clearly the legendary city of darkness. The wooden gates of the castle towers stand not far to the west.

"Whoever enters this place, give up all hope of life. The young wanderer spoke suddenly.

"What are you saying that is unlucky? Shirley pinched a steel-headed arrow and gestured dangerously.

"Haha, it's not me who said it, it's a famous quote in the biography of the mercenary king. Besco carefully avoided Shirley's arrows.

The underground castle is surrounded by ruins formed by the collapse of stone pillars, and there is no need to explore them.

Reassign the formation. Besco and Todak are at the forefront, the dwarven warriors are responsible for dealing with possible enemies, the wanderers are responsible for clearing traps, Shirley is in the middle to provide support at all times, and Kirito is the last.

"Tsk, there's a trap at the door. Besco noticed a noticeable color separation on the ground and said to his teammates behind him.

This trap is usually used to trap prey, but if there are spikes buried underneath, it is likely to be fatal, but Besco would not dare to compliment this rough technique.

Advancing along the one-foot-wide edge of the door, the four entered the tower safely and without any danger.

(Time: 14:15 on the first day)

Passing through the wooden gate of the tower, the interior was a circular hall strewn with broken stones, the corpses of three goblins lying on the ground, visible in the dim light of the torches, and one corpse nailed to the wall by a spear, where he had died in battle, and the wall behind him was still stained with jet-black blood.

Looking up, the circular tower extends upwards to about 30 feet high, but the spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower is completely shattered, and there are two wooden doors to the left and right of the hall except for the entrance.

"Why are there goblin corpses?" Shirley asked curiously, "Goblin infighting?"

Kirito walks over to the goblin corpse nailed to the wall and pulls out his spear, which slides to the ground, revealing a line of mysterious writing behind it.

"Tsk...... This is the language of the dragon, which of you recognizes?" Kirito asked, turning his head.

"I'll be a little. Shirley raised her hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Kirito stepped out of the way, and Shirley leaned closer to make a closer look.

"Asha, De, Long......" Shirley was deflated after finally reading what it was, "Isn't it the name of the dragon worshipped in the Dragon Sect before." ”

The dead goblins were surrounded only by the daggers that were their weapons, and the rough craftsmanship made several adventurers frown, and they had no intention of collecting the loot.

There are two doors.

"Left or right?" Todak asked.

Besco motioned to wait, put his ear to the door on the left, listened carefully for a while, and found no movement, as did the one on the right.

"It doesn't seem like there's any difference between the two sides. ”

The four were silent for a few seconds.

Besco took a silver coin out of his pocket and flicked it upward: "Heads left, tails right, then leave the choice to Imrith of fate." (To be continued.) )
