0038 [Fort of Doom]

Not to mention the inner city of "Kemo University", even the outer city of [Kelan City], which was built around "Kemo University", has long been filled with a large number of professional guild branches, mercenary group stations, residential areas, large and small chambers of commerce offices in Hong Kong, commercial areas, private estates, shops, cargo warehouses, private research rooms and other buildings, and it is impossible to find any spare land for the construction of new workshops.

This news disappointed Jialan, but Div on the side suddenly interjected, "Does it have to be in the city?"

Jialan thought for a moment: "It's okay to be outside the city, but it's not too far away. ”

Hearing the words of his deputy head of the regiment, Casey also reacted, first nodded, and then shook his head.

Jialan was curious: "What's the matter, isn't there a suitable place outside the city?"

"I know what Dodif is talking about, but it doesn't meet your requirements! It is a group of castles on a small hill at the foot of the peak of [Cape of Jewels] at the end of [the Sea Wall Mountains], more than thirty kilometers northeast of [the city of Corran]. ”

Casey frowned: "The area is large enough, but it has long been abandoned, and the place is very remote and barren, there is no population gathering point nearby, the distance is also a little far, the nearest village and farm are also five kilometers away, and it takes about an hour each way by horse-drawn carriage." ”

"It's not unacceptable if it's only an hour's drive, it's not that it's remote. ”

Jialan became a little interested: "First, the secrecy is relatively high, and secondly, some experiments are also more dangerous, if the workshop is placed in a sparsely populated place, you don't have to worry about the impact on the surrounding residents.

All mages are almost lonely creatures living alone in the dead house, the less people there are, the more suitable for their appetite, Jialan's preferences are similar, a place is large enough, remote enough, but the environment is quiet, and his ** power is not small.

"The castle complex, which was built at the end of the 12th century [the city-state era], has a history of more than 400 years, and occupies a large area, and the entire hill and dozens of castle buildings in the vicinity are included in the walls of the castle complex, with an area of about 100,000 tsubos. ”

Shaking his head, Casey said, "If you're going to rent it, it probably won't be very expensive." Merely...... It is said that no one has lived in this castle for a long time since it was built, and although it has changed dozens of owners over the centuries, no one has ever been able to live in it for more than a month!"

"I heard that it was because of the misfortune of everyone who lived in it, and there have even been rumors that the entire castle has mysteriously disappeared several times in history, because someone once saw an ogre appear in the vicinity, so the people in the vicinity called it 'Ogre Castle', and suspected that the people in the castle were captured and eaten by the ogre. ”

She hesitated for a moment and said: "But for such a long time, that ancient castle has been explored by countless adventurers and mercenaries, and nothing unusual has been found, and there have been some bold rich people who have bought it and repaired it many times, intending to use it as a manor, and specially invited the priests of the Holy Light Church to carry out large-scale purification, sacrifice and exorcism rituals on the ancient castle, but they have all been unable to do so for various reasons." ”

Jialan was a little surprised: "No, the rich people who bought the castle spent so much money to repair the castle, and then abandoned it again?"

"That's why it's very weird there, and the rich people who bought the castle either died unexpectedly, or their families went bankrupt, or they had business difficulties and needed to recover their funds and sell them, so there were more than a dozen of them in the castle alone, and there were hundreds of horror stories about it, such as 'Ghost Castle, Ghost Castle, Doom Castle, Disaster Castle', and there are hundreds of horror stories about it [in Kolambon]. ”

Casey shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Now the ownership of that ancient castle should belong to the largest landlord in [Coran City], "Kemo University", but even the "Kemo University" sent a large number of magician teams, but they couldn't find any problems there, and after a long time, it was slowly abandoned there." ”

"Sounds scary. ”

Jialan rubbed her chin with her arms and thought for a while, since the priest group of the "Holy Light Church" has done a sacrificial ceremony, it means that it has nothing to do with undead creatures, and the magician team can't find the reason, which means that it is not dark creatures and monsters, and a large number of adventure teams and mercenary groups have also investigated, which excludes the existence of wild beasts......

There were no problems, but it was strange that something would happen when you moved in.

"Okay, let's not think about it for now...... But, Ms. Casey, keep an eye on the 'Fort of Doom,' and let me know if you can rent it from the University of Magic, or buy it altogether. ”

Due to the fact that he couldn't find a suitable venue, Jialan had to temporarily give up the idea of building a perfect laboratory, and he could only see if he had the opportunity to talk about it later, but the "Doom Castle" was not small for him, large enough area, enough quiet environment, enough to build a large laboratory that could meet Jialan's ideas.

Jialan had to admit that she was a little eager, but if she didn't do it now, she would definitely do it in the future...... Well, now it's the world of magic, and it's far more expensive than ordinary people think, so he needs a lot of money to complete his ideas and goals.

Whether it is to reintegrate into this era, or to continue on the path of the arcane, he needs a lot of money, and the amount of this money is definitely far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and these are not achieved by him by slowly dispensing potions by hand and selling them.

So, he needed a huge enough field, and a large enough number of assistants to do it all.

"Buy... Buy it?"

Casey was a little dumbfounded, did these magicians think that Kintalan was made of copper danding coated with gold dust?

A cluster of castles?

Do they still have any concept of money?

In this [Koran City], the price of a house with a size of 60 square meters is more than 15,000 gold talan!

And although [Fort of Doom] is located in a remote and remote suburb, and it is an abandoned castle, but the price will not be less than half, maybe plus the factors of those horror legends, it is a third of the price, a group of ancient castles the size of 100,000 square meters, plus the surrounding land, how much does it cost to buy it?

It will definitely not be lower than the sky-high price of 10 million Quintalaan!

Otherwise, the [Doom Fort], which covers such a huge area, has been abandoned there and no one cares about it?
