As the last rays of the setting sun faded from the top of the castle's main tower, Viselmir and a dozen children crossed the drawbridge and stepped into the castle's gate tower.

Everyone was carrying things in large bags, and the little ones were joistering happily and laughing at each other's new clothes.

The road in the Blue Mountains is not easy to walk, and the journey from the castle to the village below is not close, and it takes almost a day to go back and forth.

I set off when it was still dark, and I barely rushed back until the sun set, so it can be said that I didn't rest all the way.

The hopeful new life has injected endless vitality into the children, and everyone is full of energy, and they don't seem to be tired at all after a busy day.

They smile especially when they think of the beautiful clothes and delicious food they are carrying.

As soon as I walked into the inner courtyard, I saw Vera running over with two girls and the youngest child.

They happily took the belongings from the Demon Hunter and happily told him the news of Huck's return.

Viselmir was a little excited to hear that Huck was back, and he told Vera to take the children to put their belongings in the storage room first, and walked quickly to the hall by himself.

Pushing open the door of the hall, the old demon hunter master was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

The dilapidated hall has undergone a drastic change, many of the collapsed walls, the collapsed walls have been repaired, not repaired, to be precise, but restored in perfect condition.

Looking through the gate, the most obvious thing is that at the back of the hall, the pile of stone ruins near the huge fireplace in the dining room that nearly clogged up the hall has disappeared without a trace.

The large hole in the top of the hall that could have been used for stargazing is gone, and the top has been completely repaired, so that it is completely impossible to see that it once collapsed.

Excited and apprehensive, he followed the sound through the common dining room to the wooden door that led to the guard tower on the right rear.

Hearing a man and a woman talking, he didn't immediately push the door in.

"No, no, I can't do it," was the voice of the sorceress Emily, full of exhaustion, "This castle is too dilapidated, so many places need to be repaired and renovated, I am exhausted." ”

"When you're tired, take a break, meditate for a while, and then get back to work," was Huck's voice, full of excitement, "This basement is the former research room, and there are a lot of things buried in it. ”

"You bastard, use me like a mule! Don't you know I'm a wounded? ”

"Didn't you say you're completely healed?"

"Hmph, you white-eyed wolf, you're mad at me. I'm going back to the Sky Gardens now, are you coming? ”

"Is it convenient for me to go here?"

"Whatever you want!"

The wooden door was slammed open, and the sorceress with a straight face walked out quickly, and when she saw that Viselmir had not stopped walking, she walked past and out of the dining room without saying hello.

The old demon hunter also knew a lot about the changing personalities of the sorceresses, so he didn't care, but pushed the door and walked into the guard tower.

The left and right guard towers behind Kellmohan were formerly the residences of the Warlocks stationed in the castle, and there is a basement under the tower, which is their research room.

The base hall of the guard tower is very tall, and in the center is a large square masonry column with a base of pure white marble.

The surface of the pedestal has a beautiful pattern, which is mottled by the age, but its former glory can still be seen from the gorgeous patterns that remain.

A stone staircase spirals down in a circle around the supporting columns leading to the large basement, which is now completely enclosed by stones.

Another stone staircase spirals up the stone wall to the upper level of the guard tower.

Due to its location deep in the rocks of the Blue Mountains, the ground floor has no windows, and only a few dim oil lamps barely illuminate the surroundings.

Fortunately, the witcher has very strong senses and can still see everything inside.

The young witcher was looking at the buried stone staircase with a depressed expression, as if he regretted that he had not succeeded in tricking the sorceress into opening the passage.

"You're back?"

Hearing footsteps, Huck knew who was walking in without looking back.

"What are you looking at?"

Viselmir approached curiously, looking at the pile of stones suspiciously, not understanding what was of interest in this thing.

"I remember that this passage was blown up when the Salamanders invaded, and no one has been to the basement since."

Huck's expression was unusually strange, and he looked a little sad.

"Any questions?"

Seeing his expression, the old demon hunting master was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but ask.

"You forget, I was the grass trial I completed below."

Huck turned his head to look at Viselmir, a lot of emotion in his eyes.

"Yes, it's been almost 10 years," Viselmir said, looking at the young witcher with satisfaction, "you've grown into a true witcher, too. ”

"Unfortunately, I still have a lot to learn compared to you."

Thinking of the bumps and bumps along the way since the journey, Huck felt that it was still far from a few demon hunting masters.

"How old are we? How old are you? Viselmir smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "When I was your age, I was an apprentice, and you were much better than me. ”

Seeing that the mood of the beloved disciple was gradually improving, the old demon hunter master asked with great interest:

"How did you manage to get Emily to help restore the castle?

There aren't many warlocks who are good at earth-based magic right now, and her teacher is one of the best, so if she can get Ida Emin to help, she won't have a problem repairing the castle. ”

Listening to Viselmir's words, Huck smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

"You're thinking too much, and you don't know the character of these sorceresses.

When you're in a good mood and have an interest, it's easy to say anything.

Once you're upset, don't expect her to do anything for you. ”

Thinking about Emily's attitude just now, the old demon hunter nodded and didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

"Let's go, let's go up," he beckoned Huck as he stepped up the spiral stone staircase and headed up.

On the way, the young witcher briefly recounted what had happened during this time.

"In other words, your current predicament is that you don't know where Tsubaki is who is trapped in the daytime demon spirit?"

Ten minutes later, lying on a comfortable recliner, Viselmir drank the beer from his glass, and then put down the empty glass in his hand.

"If there's no clue, why don't you ask her personally?"

"Ask her personally?"

Huck was stunned and looked at the old demon hunter with a puzzled expression.

"I know a secret method, I can try it..."

After listening to Viselmir's method, Huck was overjoyed and eager to test it immediately.

"The key to this approach is to have something that is memorable in her mind and represents a good memory, do you have an idea?"

Seeing that he was so excited, the old demon hunting master couldn't help but remind him again.

"I thought, maybe I have an idea."

As Huck spoke, the image of a herbalist who liked to wear a red dress came to mind.
