Chapter 32: The Empty City
The door creaked open, and Fang Mu's body retreated violently, only to find that no one opened the door for him.
Don't talk nonsense, the door was opened by itself, and it has nothing to do with others.
A burst of chants sounded, and his eyes were suddenly illuminated by God's spotlight, and Fang Mu raised his hand and threw a priest's limited skill Holy Light Technique forward.
Of course, he didn't use this skill to use the main function of the Holy Light Technique, but only to use it as a flare.
As soon as I entered the gate of the castle, I came to the outer fort area of the castle, and only after Fang Mu's investigation, the outer fort area of the castle adopted a fairly classic four-tower layout, and according to Fang Mu's observation, there was no hostile reaction on the tower, and the whole castle was quiet, and there was nothing.
Walking around the outer fort area, Fang Mu confirmed his thoughts. There was no one on the watchtower, it was empty.
A few minutes later, Fang Mu returned to the castle gate and entered the castle gatehouse, wanting to explore the inner fort area of the castle.
On both sides of the castle gatehouse is the guard room, the guard room is in disrepair, I don't know how many years there is no one to live in, Fang Mu smelled a strong musty smell as soon as he entered.
There was no valuable information in the guard room, and in front of it was the inner fort area, Fang Mu waved his staff and threw a holy light spell over.
The light illuminated the furnishings of the castle, and two tall knights in armor stood guard on both sides of the gate, holding European-style halberds in their hands, making them look extraordinary.
After Fang Mu's investigation, he found that these two iron-armored knights were not wild monsters, and they didn't need to be dealt with by themselves.
He was so happy that he cautiously walked into the castle, only to find that the hall on the first floor of the castle was empty, and there was no sign of a living person, or a moving thing.
Only the oil paintings on the walls, shields and crossed knightly swords show the identity and elegant aesthetic of the castle owner.
"It's kind of interesting, the outer structure of the castle has a fragile beauty, and I didn't expect the interior to be decorated with a lot of powerful knight armor."
After thinking for a moment, Fang Mu's staff was raised, and a little flame was waved straight towards the candle on the wall.
The white candle was lit instantly, and the entire castle floor exuded a cold candlelight, and under the candlelight, a red-eyed man with a calm face walked into the depths of the castle.
The barn was empty, there was no grain at all, and as we all know, the barn was used to hold air.
There was a strange statue of a god in the chapel, Fang Mu took a closer look, only to feel a dizziness in his brain, his magic power and blood volume were reduced by a certain percentage, he suddenly stood on end, closed his eyes and turned his head to leave.
Did you just go through a San Check?
Fang Mu's brows tightened, feeling scared for a while, fortunately, he was born with five mysteries, and he had a certain defensive ability against this metaphysical attack, otherwise he really didn't know what would happen.
But why do you come across these things now? When Fang Mu played the Emerald Remnant Chapter, it wasn't until he was almost fifty that he encountered his first attack on the metaphysical aspect and realized the importance of the attribute of mystery.
There's no way he's going to touch that now, anyway...... It's weird, I've seen it all, and I'm going to take this idol back if I say anything today.
Each of these mysterious side props is precious and cannot be let go easily.
Fang Mu closed his eyes, groped his way to the statue, the cold touch of his fingertips came, and then his mind moved, and this item was received by him in the backpack bar.
"Item Name: Statue of the Darkside Wriggler
Type: Props
Quality: Rare
Introduction: It is carved on it, which is a second language for many people.
Function: Assists in mystical rituals. ”
"It turned out to be a dark side creeping person, no wonder there is not a lot of blood deduction, so maybe I have a chance to use it a few times in the early stage."
After reading the explanation, Fang Mu raised his eyebrows, this dark side wriggler can be called the shame of the mysterious side, the weakest mysterious side existence with a surname, in the middle and late stages of the game of the Emerald Fragment, there are often some videos circulating on the Internet using various props to persecute the dark side creepers, and there are also a large number of rotten stalks around the dark side creeper appearing, and this one has completely become everyone's laughing stock.
However, in the early stage, this statue is still very compelling, and its own image is still there.
After putting away the idols, Fang Mu walked out of the chapel and entered the last room, the bakery.
There was nothing abnormal, and after a while, Fang Mu walked out and went upstairs gently, but his footsteps still inevitably made a clicking sound, echoing in the empty castle, increasing the loneliness in the traveler's heart.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in front of him, and a muffled thunder sounded from a distance, followed by the sound of pouring rain, Fang Mu's footsteps up the stairs suddenly stagnated, and he scratched his head.
There was thunder inside the dungeon.
While it's true that there is a way to do this, as long as you install a weather stone, the question is, I'm just going to come to the city to have a look, and is it so much trouble?
I closed the door and beat the dog to prevent me from going out, and it was thunder and rain to scare people.
How can I say that I am also the titular lord of this Shadow Leaf Dungeon, are you mistaken?
Nightmare City Lord, don't let me get you, you boy.
Walking up to the second floor, Fang Mu shuttled back and forth in the room, not seeing anything of value, as if the entire castle was an ornament, until he entered the largest room.
A faint fragrance came, Fang Mu held his breath for a moment, exited the room, sometimes his nose fluttered, sometimes he used the chemical fan smelling method, and after studying it for a while, he confirmed that this special smell was non-toxic, and re-entered the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted by a colored broken glass screen, which was somewhat unexpected by Fang Mu.
This material of stained glass, to say that the first feeling of it, should be the carved ground glass of the confessional room of the human church, Fang Mu used to be a paladin, churches, monasteries and other places that he often goes, of course, every time he goes there is for important things, and he definitely does not go to see the nun sister.
It's true.
Bypassing the colorful broken screen, Fang Mu saw the furnishings in front of him, and looked at the whole room again, only then did he realize that it seemed to be a woman's boudoir in front of him, with a bed, a table, a wardrobe, a dresser, and several stacks of books on the table.
However, if it comes, it will be safe, Fang Mu is anti-guest at this moment, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and after some investigation, he directly picked up a stack of books on the table, lay on the bed and covered it with a quilt.
I've heard that on rainy days, quilts and books are more compatible.
However, the name of the tome in front of him alone made Fang Mu not want to read it, and the cover of this book was very holy, even if it was really placed in the church, it would not seem out of place.
The problem is in the title of the book.
"The Apocalypse of Ashes"
Turning the first page, the words on the title page alone made Fang Mu feel speechless for a while, and on the title page of the book, there was a line of arrogant words written in Gothic dungeon language.
"Swear by God to cut off the light!"
"What are you kidding, who do you think you are, Gunara, the god of darkness?"
Fang Mu scolded for a while, and the paladin's old problem had flare up again, but only then did he suddenly remember that his current identity seemed to be a dungeon lord.
Scratching his head, Fang Mu still had some fragmentary thoughts, his mouth was still muttering something dissatisfied, and he turned the book roughly, and he quickly concluded that the book in front of him was useless.
So he changed his book to read, and this time it didn't seem to be a book, but a diary.
Turning the first page of the diary, I saw lines of small characters written on it in Juanxiu's handwriting.
"Today, the moon wanted to rise as usual, but it failed......"
"He didn't really leave, he stayed with us in another form, but unfortunately we don't seem to be able to leave here......"
"We can only move slowly, walking in the pool, like lost sheep, aimlessly walking into the darkness."
"Who are they? Come here, help me remember. ”
Flipping through the pages, a clip suddenly fell from the diary, Fang Mu picked it up and looked at it, only to see a line of small words calmly written on it.
"Come to the bell tower to find me."
Yawning, Fang Mu began to analyze the information he had just obtained in his brain, and after a long time, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, giving the owner of this diary a conclusion.
"The junior high school girl who is in the second year of secondary school and hypocritical seems to have depression and may have certain psychological problems."
This diary was obviously deliberately shown to herself, in order to make herself listen to her and go to the bell tower to find her.
But the problem is that she should have noticed it the moment she just entered the city gate, but why did she have to go around in such a big circle, trick herself into coming to the castle, and then leave clues in the castle to lead herself to the bell tower.
Isn't it embarrassing?
In an instant, Fang Mu had several thoughts in his mind, and after a certain amount of weighing, he still planned to go to the bell tower as soon as possible to find this mysterious secondary two depressed patient, after all, no matter what happened, the system task would not deceive him.
No matter how powerful she is, the system values will never deceive, the system recommends that the player's level is thirty to forty, according to Fang Mu's general game experience, there should be no big problems in this trip.
Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Fang Mu was reluctant in his heart, but there was no way, after all, he still wanted to go back to lie on the sofa early.
There was nothing left to loot in the castle, it was hard to imagine that a castle would be so poor, not only did it not have a god costume, but it also had no money, after walking around the castle several times, Fang Mu decided to leave for the bell tower.
"Isn't this Lord of Nightmare City a little too poor...... The inside of this castle is as clean as if it had been licked by a dog......"
Grunting dissatisfiedly, Fang Mu walked out of the castle gate and disappeared into the rain after almost recovering his state.
After the rain, there seemed to be a slight change in the originally peaceful Nightmare City, and the already oppressive atmosphere became even more airtight, almost making people forget to breathe.
There were also some inexplicable vague movements coming from the city, with a certain ominous connotation, which obviously did not bode well.
Fang Mu originally wanted to calculate the location of the bell tower according to the direction in his mind, but then he raised his head and immediately dispelled the thought he had just had.
The bell tower is so high that you can see it as soon as you look up, so you don't have to think too much about it at all.
The torrential rain was pouring down, and the stagnant water flowing across the ground could not be seen in its original color, but it was all black when it was reflected on the ground.
The armor on the upper body is all water, because of the surface tension, although it is pouring rain now, only a layer of water is attached to the surface, and countless water droplets condense into a violent stream of water, confusing the lines of the armor itself.
Not to mention the silk pants, all soaked.
If you don't run wild in this kind of rainstorm, others will think that you are insane, although there seems to be no one else here.
Fang Mu set his position and ran directly towards the bell tower.
Bang Bang ......
Wealth is in danger, playing games should be like this, no matter what, just run, at least you can explore the map.
The red-eyed man's figure blurred in the rain, the small sounds mingling with the white noise of the natural rain, but it could not fool the senses of some creatures.
As Fang Mu's footsteps echoed in the city, it seemed to disturb some hidden existence, and an ominous sound quickly approached from the city's roots.
Although Fang Mu's physical fitness at this time was not comparable to ordinary people, the castle was quite a long distance away from the bell tower, and the sound of movement behind him was getting closer and closer to him, just as he was about to approach him, he made three sharp turns in the rain, re-buffed himself, and galloped all the way to the front of the towering bell tower.
The sound of abnormal movement dissipated in an instant, as if Fang Mu's little tail had never existed.
"It's good, it feels like a behind-the-scenes boss, as soon as I come here, the mobs will quit."
The water curtain sprinkled along the marble lines in front of the bell tower, and Fang Mu sat in front of the door of the bell tower made of stone, only to feel that the way the wild monster disappeared in front of him was a little funny.
It's like in that kind of horror movie, the protagonist finally finds a place that is not haunted, but finds that there is a ghost king here.
After a few more buffs, Fang Mu knocked a bottle of magic potion before he stood up from the ground and pushed open the door of the bell tower with both hands.
"Boom !!"
A strong wind swept out from the bell tower, Fang Mu responded quickly like a world champion, he cut the Mithril saber and stood on the marble brick in an instant, deep scratches appeared on the ground, and repeatedly sparks flew out from the tip of the sword, Fang Mu's lips turned out uncontrollably, but his figure still stood in place. The bell tower in front of him trembled violently, and then it began to disintegrate,
Pieces of marble and stone fell from the sky, Fang Mu's body was dexterous, flashing and moving on the ground, like a dancer on the tip of a knife, calm and unhurried, but extremely worrying.
The towering bell tower began to disintegrate, eventually falling apart, the stone crumbling, the impetuous dust and smoke floating in the rain curtain were pressed down by water droplets in an instant, and visibility was rapidly restored.
Fang Mu flicked the dust on his clothes, although there were mood swings in his heart, they were limited.
When the dust settled, the image in the ruins of the bell tower came into view of Fang Mu.
A legal Lolita dressed in a dress and bound by iron chains, her face was childish, so she was bound by silver chains and hung upside down on the cross.
If Uri looks a bit like a high school student, then the childish girl in front of her is at best junior high school, but in fact, these two are older than the other, and you can't just look at your appearance.
And the clock tower collapsed, the chains loosened, and she opened her eyes.
*Nightmare Castle Lord, Lestie, has awakened.
