Chapter 517

The castle owner is still sleeping. This is a very important piece of information.

Adventurers once warned an Yizhi that there is a real ancestor living here. If it is true, there is no threat from a sleeping real ancestor.

——As long as Ann points out, don't wake him up.

This means that some spells with outstanding sound and light effects are best not to be used, such as angry thunder strike.

That is, sneak into the village and shoot. Don't.

The purpose of an Yizhi is very clear, that is to come here to find the other end of the contract, and then force her to terminate the contract or kill her. This is done.

According to Hella, the owner of this ancient castle has obviously slept for more than 200 years without waking up, so the vampire who really signed the contract with him can't be him. The most likely one should be the attacker, so don't worry that the other end of the contract is so sad.

When you enter the castle, you first see a huge hall.

From the perspective of marble, gold, silver, porcelain and other valuable decorations, the owner of this ancient castle is quite rich, and a sense of pride comes to his face.

But with the passage of time, many things here seem very dilapidated and old, as if they were abandoned.

The front of the hall is a Y-shaped staircase with a huge portrait hanging directly above it.

The portrait also can't escape the punishment of time. Most of them can't see what they are painting. They can only guess that the painting should be a middle-aged man from the remaining parts.

An Yizhi looked up at the ceiling. A ray of sunlight came straight down from the ceiling. The ancient castle was so dilapidated that it could be regarded as a dangerous building.

"It is estimated that vampires should live underground in the castle."

"Depending on the situation, it should be so."

There is a breach on the top of the castle. The sun is not a comfortable thing for vampires. In order to avoid being covered by the sun when sleeping, many vampires choose to put the sleeping coffin into the basement.

An looked around. There were many signs of collapse nearby, which seriously blocked his sight. For a while, he couldn't find the entrance to the underground.

Follow the place where you can pass, and an Yizhi finds a side hall on the side of the hall.

This should be the place where the owner of the ancient castle can enjoy afternoon tea or receive guests. The decoration is very elegant. There is still a flower in the vase, although it is now only a little ash like debris.

"Even if there is no maintenance, the ancient castle is rotten too fast?"

I touched the wall with my hand. I knew that the wall was easily broken off with bricks and stones. With a pinch of my hand, the brick was like flour.

"This shows that there is a vampire living in it. At least it is a powerful undead."

The place where undead creatures gather or live will produce a lot of negative energy, and negative energy has strong erosion ability. Ordinary masonry structures can't last much time under the perennial intrusion of negative energy, unless vampires build houses with materials that can resist the erosion of negative energy.

In that case, even if they are local tyrants, they can't afford to play. An Yizhi only needs to put two bricks in his pocket, even if it's not in vain. That kind of material is very valuable.

On the stone table in the side hall, in addition to tea sets and cakes that can't see the original appearance, there is also a book about half the width of the palm of the hand.

He tried to look through it, but it scattered with a touch and couldn't read at all.

Time destroys everything.

An Yizhi likes this script very much. Maybe he can get information books about the background, but the purpose of this time is obviously not these things. After searching for a while and finding no more clues or equipment, he went through the side hall and continued to move forward.

The current position should be in the corridor on the side of the castle. Through the small observation window, you can see a small garden in the castle wall.

Originally, this place should have been carefully taken care of by the owner, but due to the same reason of time, now the garden is overgrown with weeds, and there is almost nothing else to see except a dense mass of green.

"Can these weeds grow so luxuriantly under the erosion of negative energy? What are the ways?"

"Well..."

Helaton looked for information, and soon she said:

"The nature of these plants has changed, as if they were specially cultivated to survive under the erosion of negative energy. According to the records in the database, these plants should have withered long ago."

"Maybe you can find some precious potion?"

"Maybe."

Hella wasn't particularly positive, but she didn't deny it.

Ann was interested when she heard that there was something to take. It would be good to find another golden apple without saying anything else.

In any case, no player will be idle and have more HP.

Not long after walking on, Ann saw a metal door that could lead to the garden, and it seemed that the door had been specially treated and showed no signs of corrosion in time.

This little discovery alerted an Yizhi. The castle was full of dilapidated appearance. Why is only this door so strong?

"Hella, look at it with arcane vision."

"No problem, the door is only added with the effect of firmness and non abrasion."

That said, an Yizhi was still fully prepared. He pushed it gently with bigby's helping hand, and the gate opened to expose the lush trees behind.

Wait a few seconds, nothing unusual.

"Pay attention to rare plants or valuable things."

An Yizhi doesn't know these. He can only ask Haila who has the database.

Walking into the small garden, the temperature here is slightly higher than that in the castle. Perhaps it is due to the sunny weather. The sun shines directly from the sky, which also makes the negative energy attached to the ground more prominent. You can clearly see a layer of gray black fog moving slowly against the ground.

"Master, it gives me a bad feeling here."

"Coincidentally, I think so."

This feeling is very subtle. It's not safe to say dangerous, but it's a little wrong.

"Forget it, no, let's go back."

After weighing, an Yizhi decided to retreat.

However, just after they returned to the castle, just after the door was closed, a huge flower the size of an umbrella came out of the grass.

Obviously, it is a plant, but it is like a creature. It pours out nectar with a sweet smell. Then it changes a more comfortable position and continues to bask in the sun

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Not knowing that he had just avoided a predator, an Yizhi continued to move along the corridor. He would stop for a while before walking a long way. This is not caution, but he has just suffered a loss.

When passing by a decorative armor placed in the corridor, an Yizhi wanted to see if the armor was any equipment. As a result, the sword at the waist of the armor suddenly jumped up and chopped at him.

This thing is called the curse sword. It is a trap operated by magical power. Once an unauthorized person is nearby, he will start to attack the enemy by himself.

In order not to make too much noise, an Yizhi had to use the release magic to kill it. He used it three times in succession.

With this experience, he didn't see any armor. He would bang it again with the release magic. After confirming that there was no problem, he went to check it.

Although this has greatly slowed down his speed, the victory lies in safety, and it is not without harvest.

[floating sword]

Grade: excellent

Physical attack power: high

Magic attack power: Zero

Effect: this weapon does not need to be held and can attack the enemy freely. The chopping power is equal to half of the holder's mysterious power value (rounded up).

Description: a weapon specially made for magicians.

Equipment conditions: character level 20 or mysterious power 8.

It's pretty good. It was found on the waist of a armor. Ann took a look and pinned it on her waist.

Having this sword is equivalent to having a bodyguard. However, the command of this thing is not very good. It can't be used too flexibly. It can only give relatively simple orders.

After all, the quality is only excellent, and it doesn't occupy the position of main and auxiliary weapons. It's better than nothing. It's really not good. You can hold it with the hand of the dragon. It mainly depends on its basic attack power. Otherwise, it's also sold.

After harvesting this equipment, an Yizhi walked out of the long corridor.

Along the way, I also met many doors that can be opened. However, behind the door, most of them are collapsed Castle debris, which can't pass at all. A few preserved rooms are places with little exploration value.

After walking out of the corridor, this should be the back hall of the castle, which is the place where the castle owner should have held banquets and other things.

The huge chandelier has fallen to the ground, and the original gorgeous and expensive tables and chairs have become a pool of rotten wood, which is still good. There is only a layer of black ash left.

An Yizhi also found a Y-shaped staircase here, which can lead to the second floor of the castle.

He looked carefully. There was nothing worth noting in the hall, no monsters, and no door to the basement.

This made him very confused. If you go back, you will be the back door of the castle. You can't put the door leading to the underground in the open air behind you?

Go upstairs and have a look?

Due to the huge size of the castle, the architectural structure can actually be very complex. It is not unusual for the entrance to the underground to be placed on the second floor. According to the current clues, at least there is no door to the underground where the first floor can pass through.

To be honest, an Yizhi doesn't really want to go up. Because of time, only God knows how strong the superstructure of the whole ancient castle is. If he falls down walking, even if he doesn't fall dead, it's enough for him.

But now there are not many options, only to do so.

Holding the Dharma seal, he was ready to release the feather falling technique at any time, and then walked up the stairs carefully.

The quality of the aged stairs is OK. Maybe it is related to the fact that it is made of some kind of stone. If it is made of wood, the stairs will be rotten long ago.

Even so, he had no sense of security after stepping on the stairs, especially when he stepped on the second floor and directly dropped a stone.

In terms of environmental layout, it is similar to the first floor. There are also two corridors and a large number of rooms. However, the collapse here is more obvious than that on the first floor. The floors of weak rooms have collapsed. Many rooms have even collapsed walls. They just make a two-story platform. Fortunately, it is not the load-bearing wall that collapsed, otherwise the castle would have become a pile of rubble.

His heart was full of uneasiness. An Yizhi came to a wide space that seemed to be left after the collapse of the room. He looked through the gap of the debris and saw a less obvious circular metal door.

"Master, there are traces of magic on the door, and from the position, it may lead to the underground."

At last, he found the door leading to the underground. Ann was relieved. However, the next moment, a sound made by the friction of metal armor made him turn his attention to the direction of the sound source.

A skeleton in shabby armor with light blue flame of the dead in its eyes appeared.
