Chapter 282 Weird Castle
Chapter 282 Weird Castle
"I don't know."
Ivan simply shook his head.
However, there is a mention in the classics that the life and death cocoon is one of the common materials for casting excellent clones, but the detailed records of the "life and death cocoon" are missing.
Of course, it’s not just the information about the Cocoon of Life and Death that is missing.
"I don't know either, but during an accidental expedition, someone discovered an interesting place and something similar to the 'Cocoon of Life and Death'.
To thank you for your help last time, I am willing to take you to that place and help you obtain the cocoon of life and death hidden deep in the dangerous place. What do you think?"
Doug doesn't like to owe favors to others. The longer the favors between the Five Leaf Spear members are delayed, the more troublesome the situation will be. This time he came with his sincerity.
"It's a word."
After a moment's silence, Ivan nodded and agreed to Doug's request: "Seeing how cautious you are, the enemy we are going to deal with this time is probably not simple. Can you tell me now?"
"Spirit."
Doug uttered two words.
This made Ivan's face darken, and he felt cheated.
According to the description of the wizard ancestors, spirits are certain creatures with strong mental power or willpower. Their obsessions linger long after death. They are strange creatures that are born by chance and under the nourishment of certain special environments.
Spirits have no physical bodies, as if they are made up of some special force.
The most troublesome thing is that the spirits will invariably use the power of curses, some strange methods, and some methods that can easily pollute the wizard's mental power, making it difficult to guard against.
Such a difficult creature is undoubtedly one of the enemies that wizards least want to encounter.
Fortunately, the number of these spirits born by chance is small, and they can only stay in some special environments. If they leave the special environment, their strength will be greatly reduced, or even self-annihilate.
"Wizard Doug, I wonder how many spirits we have to deal with?" Ivan asked.
"One cave, there are countless of them." Doug said truthfully.
"This..." Ivan looked embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I have found a rare item. I call it a 'spiritual disruptor'. It can conceal our presence and prevent spirits from approaching."
Doug came prepared and naturally considered how to deal with the difficult spirits. Fortunately, he found something that could interfere with the spirits.
An object that resembles a compass.
This is the strange object that Doug mentioned. There is a hidden force field emanating from it, which makes people feel uncomfortable. When the mental power probes into it, it is immediately suppressed by the force field.
Ivan felt as if something was trying to erode his mental strength over and over again, which was extremely strange.
"In that case, I'll go with Wizard Doug." Ivan is not a person who gives up easily. The other party has prepared everything, so what else can he say.
“That’s great.” Doug smiled.
Both of them were decisive people. After reaching an agreement, they immediately got up and left Xunmu Tower and Dongdu Dongren City.
Under Doug's leadership, they traveled for four days and three nights and arrived at a forest that looked very ordinary.
Ivan saw that there used to be a small town outside the forest, but now it had become a deserted ruin. There was no one, not even a mouse, and it felt extremely dead silent.
"It looks deserted now, but at night, under the moonlight, it becomes very lively here." Doug introduced, pointing to the deserted town.
"I'll wait and see." Ivan raised his eyebrows.
The two waited outside the town, waiting for Yeyue to arrive.
Soon, clear moonlight sprinkled down from the moon, illuminating the deserted town and forest. Then a thin mist began to rise all around, covering the town and forest with a hazy veil.
It doesn't seem real.
"Is it interesting?"
"Interesting." When the fog lifted up a corner again, there were a few more normal shops in the town, and people could be seen busy in the shops, as if they were preparing to open the shops.
As time went by, the town became more and more normal, with more and more people walking around.
"Let's go, it's our turn."
Doug's expression didn't change when he saw this. He paused for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the town, motioning Ivan to follow him.
If you don't perceive it, the residents of the small town look no different from ordinary people. The town also has the noise of an ordinary small town, with shouting, hawking, and bargaining sounds heard everywhere.
But Ivan could sense that the residents of the town were creatures similar to shadow ant servants, and they had a frightening aura about them.
"Everyone, I have good news for you. Piaoxiang Castle is recruiting a group of strong guards. The treatment is excellent. Anyone who is willing to take the test, please let me take it."
"I am willing."
"Haha, I finally waited until the castle recruited guards."
The words spoken by the man who looked like a butler were eye-catching, causing people around him to cheer.
When the butler returned, he was followed by a large group of people, including Doug and Ivan. This behavior made Ivan feel confused.
"This is the easiest way to enter Piaoxiang Castle, no doubt about it." Doug saw his confusion and explained vaguely.
Ivan nodded slightly, indicating that he would not do anything out of line.
Led by the butler, those who participated in the guard assessment left the town and walked towards the forest at the back. At some point, a secluded path appeared in the forest.
The fog was swirling as they went deeper into the forest.
After a while, in the interweaving of moonlight and mist, an ancient aristocratic castle emerged from the depths of the forest. This castle was the destination of everyone.
As soon as they stepped into the castle, at Doug's signal, the two quietly left the assessment team.
"Very good, congratulations on becoming the guard of Piaoxiang Castle. The glory of the Piaoxiang family will be with you."
"Great."
"Wow, I'm so sorry for my lost mother."
A few seconds after the two left the team, the butler turned around and announced a piece of news that some of the people had successfully become guards, and these people were naturally delighted.
There are more losers.
Many losers cried bitterly, and some even committed suicide by drawing their swords out of excessive grief.
This scene left Ivan stunned.
What about the assessment?
The person who committed suicide is not dead at all. He is just lying on the ground pretending to be dead, right?
These guys are not putting on an act for others to see!
After a while, the butler who had just left hurried back and announced a good news in public.
"Hahaha, the young master is born."
"Oh, our wise and brave young master is finally born."
"The master was very happy, and he promised one thing. In the next few days, the castle will celebrate with the people, and any resident of the town will be allowed to come to the castle to attend the celebration banquet."
As the butler finished speaking, fog began to float in front of the castle gate. A large number of people who looked like civilians had already arrived. It was not difficult to hear from their words that they came to the castle as guests to celebrate the birth of the young master.
Ivan saw clearly that the man who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead had quietly mixed in with the civilian population and was acting very professionally.
In the blink of an eye, the celebratory banquet of the ancient castle began, gathering almost everyone in the castle and the town.
"Let's go, while there are few people inside, let's go meet the so-called 'young master'."
Seeing this scene, Doug finally took action. The two of them ignored the people attending the party and dived directly into the depths of the castle.
