Chapter Eighty-Six: Grinding
"It seems that the history of this castle is at least four or five hundred years old," Li Angtong Guò Ruins Knowledge, analyzing the origin of the black castle.
"It's a good sight, it's supposed to be the abode of some arcsman, and it should have been built in the era of change, it's really more than five hundred years ago," said Kaka, who had read countless ancient texts in more than 100 years of alchemical research, so he had more knowledge in this area.
"The age of change?" asked Leon, the first time he had heard the word.
The other young men also looked at the alchemist curiously, hoping to hear an explanation from him.
Kaka continued: "Yes, for nearly two thousand years since there was a real record, according to the research and research of some mages and scholars, history has been divided into several epochs according to different characteristics, first the age of mythology, then the age of legends, and then the age of rise, the age of faith, the age of change, and the current age that has been characterized as development. ”
He blinked his eyes a few times and said with a malicious smile: "You need to study for yourself what exactly each represents......
Li Ang raised his middle finger to the mentor from his heart, he knew that Kaka was to give them the motivation to learn the relevant knowledge, but he couldn't help but feel very disdainful of this kind of behavior.
"The teaching time is over, and the next step is the practice time," Kaka pretended to be a tutor.
They were already standing in front of the castle, which looked even more spectacular from here, and the whole building was surrounded by a thick façade in a kind of regular square. Looking upward, you can see a tower on the left side of the castle and three thin minarets on the right, and when you look back, you can see that the walls are made of an unusually strong strip of stone, and the passage of time has not left any trace on the outer walls. Looking around the walls from top to bottom, there are seven or eight arched exterior windows, and the location of these windows indicates that the interior of the castle is about four floors, and would have been a decent mansion of any age.
With the sound of "squeaking" pushing the door, more than a dozen birds roosting in it were startled, and their wings flew out of the hollow windows and disappeared into the distance.
The wide door was slowly pushed open, and the dust that had accumulated for hundreds of years in the cracks of the door fell, almost forming a curtain of sand, and standing in front of the door, it seemed that an ancient monster was slowly opening its mouth, about to devour the intruders outside the door. But this feeling couldn't stop everyone's footsteps, and the falling earth couldn't stay on their bodies covered in power fluctuations.
The interior of the castle was filled with a vague smell of mold, and the three young men who followed behind had to get used to the sudden gloom before they could see clearly in front of them.
Leon and Caterina don't need a buffer, they each occupy a position, alert to unknown dangers.
At the end, Kaka couldn't help but sigh when he saw the situation inside.
"Leon, you did find the ruins of an ancient castle this time that no one has explored. ”
Indeed, the interior of the castle is clearly intact, with a wide spiral staircase in the middle facing the main door, which can almost accommodate six people in parallel, and on either side of the staircase there are four doors leading to the various facilities, while the walls around it are decorated with thick linear wood ornaments, each carved with intricate lines.
In addition to this, there are several portraits of people with metal borders hanging on the walls, each with a different character, some of them are warriors in full armor, some are emaciated men in cloth robes, and one is of a knight riding a war horse and holding a knight's sword in his hand.
Looking back to the front, not only was the decoration in order, but even the large bookcase against the wall showed no trace of passing, and such a thing was as precious as a treasure in the eyes of all those who entered the exploration, even if the visitor could not read the ancient characters, taking these ancient books to any mage organization on the continent would be richly rewarded.
It looks like the rewards of this exploration will be unimaginable.
Jeff on the side was very aware of the porter, and when he saw that the head of the regiment and Kaka's eyes were focused on the bookcase, he picked up his backpack and was about to walk over.
But as soon as he took a few steps, there was a "Kerakala" sound in the darkness deep in the hall.
Everyone was on alert, but Leon had already spotted the origin of the unusual noise from the map feedback - it was a white skeleton that was moving outside with staggering steps.
He had already started his "scrutiny" before he entered, so he stood in the doorway and found several red and yellow traps, and the bookcase was one of them. But everything else was normal, including the floor where Jeff had just walked, so the undead creatures weren't triggered by traps, but had been entrenched there, and they were drawn to the smell of the living as they pushed the door in.
"It's an undead creature!"
Others had seen the eerie skeletons emerge from the shadows, swords in hand, ragged garments hanging loosely, soulfire in their eyes flickering green in the darkness.
"These skeletons...... It should be old Jack's comrade-in-arms," the strands of cloth of Leontong Guò identified the style of the clothes as belonging to the border guard of the Kingdom of Sver.
"Their souls have been invaded by the dark forces and turned into undead, and the divine power will directly melt their bodies," Caterina raised her weapon, "For Jack's request, we can only cut off their bodies with normal attacks, let the soul fire extinguish, and then incinerate them with flames into ashes and bring them back." ”
Leon nodded and said, "Melissa and Jeff, you two are the main attackers, and Sophia should pay attention to help." ”
These skeletons don't have lich control, and they can only be regarded as the lowest-level troops, with a maximum of 2 or 30 experience points, so Leon simply let go and let his teammates attack independently to give them more training.
But he saw Melissa's two magic daggers, and Jeff called out to the poor brown-haired man with the ordinary longbow he had brought from Greytown.
"Your bow and arrows won't work much against them, my weapon will be for you for the time being, and after a while I'll get a suitable weapon, and the 'spider thorn' will be yours." ”
Jeff swept his sword and said with tears in his eyes, "Commander, you finally think of me!"
This pretense made Leon laugh and pushed him out.
When Jeff steadied his footing, he found that he had been surrounded by three skeletons, and after he had been besieged by the black aphids before, he did not panic when he saw a total of more than twenty skeletons at this time, and he slashed back the skeleton on the left with a sword, and then raised his foot and kicked the sternum of the skeleton on the right.
But what he didn't expect was that the kick just fell into the gap between the sternum, and then, it was stuck inside......
Jeff immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground screaming, and the skeleton was also carried down by this blow, pressing right on him, and the soul fire in the hollow eye sockets reflected the brown-haired man's face a miserable green.
The third skeleton didn't care if there was a member of its kind in the way, and slashed at the human's neck with a single sword, and the skeleton hanging from his feet struggled to roll over, using his weapon to cut off the "object" trapped between his ribs.
"Help, help......" Jeff stumbled a few times, finally swallowing back the two very humiliating words "help", his foot kicked hard, causing the skeleton to lose its balance again, and then raised his sword to catch the incoming weapon.
Suddenly, a smaller figure flashed, and several shiny lines appeared in front of Jeff, making several crunching noises with the skeleton he was holding with his weapon, and the arm, sternum, and neck bones were broken, and the entire skeleton collapsed, turning into lifeless bones on the ground.
This is Melissa after dealing with her own enemies, she found that the brown-haired man's shape was worried, and immediately flashed to support, and almost killed a skeleton in an instant.
Her attack was swift and powerful, and this time she had burst out with a faint fluctuation of power on the dagger, and it seemed that her strength was extremely close to the second order.
Stimulated by the strength of the wild girl's appearance, Jeff also fluttered his legs to get rid of the entangled enemies, and then used his weapon to cut off the neck bone of the skeleton, the skull fell to the ground and rolled a few meters, and the soul fire in his eye socket flickered a few times before disappearing.
After a few minutes of fighting, Jeff and Melissa gradually had some initial cooperation, Jeff held a long sword to attract the attention of the enemy, and the girl flashed back and forth between the enemies, constantly appearing behind the skeleton, usually destroying a skeleton with a few blows, turning it into bone fragments all over the ground.
With Sophia's divine support at any time, some of the minor injuries suffered by the two of them quickly improved, and their bodies also remained vigorous, not to mention that there were three other "big guys" in charge, which made them have no worries.
After a while, the soul fire of more than seven or eight skeletons had disappeared permanently, but there were still nearly twenty of them around the two of them. These skeletons have no sanity and only act on the desire of the soul fire for the living, so gradually the outer few switch targets and attack the other "delicious food".
How could these low-level undead creatures use the old man Kaka's shot, and Caterina swept away the attacking skeletons with a few swords, but I don't know whether it was intentional or not, leaving only the three skeletons that had already walked in front of Li Ang and didn't care.
Leon lent his weapon to Jeff, and the battle with Viscount Lev's subordinates suddenly came to his mind, so he had a bad taste, and with the memory of his previous life, he used his hands to strike a few "strange" poses that seemed "strange" to Caterina, and then "huha" punched out, beating the three skeletons to pieces.
"A group of ...... scum"
Since crossing into another world, Li Ang, who had completely abused the enemy for the first time, sighed.
