Chapter 239: Upper Level
The old castle itself covers a huge area, and the designers seem to have deliberately designed the lower-level passages to be extraordinarilyplex.
To get to the stairwell from the cksmith area, you need to bypass hundreds of meters of winding passages.
After going up to the second level.
You also must go to the central interaction area of the second level and open the only stairway stone door to the third level with the [cksmith Key] you just obtained.
This will allow you to reach the upper level of the fortress.
The probability of encountering obstacles during the rush was also rtively high, but he just didn''t expect to meet a small team of trainee knights.
It was a three-person team.
All of them have reached the "seed-breaking stage" (5 points assigned to their major profession, but not yet seed-breaking)
The leader is a standard-sized crusader equipped with blood-red armour and emitting a heavy aura of fury.
The eyes revealed between the slits of the helmet are also blood-red ... through the stare alone, let Han Dong and Wendy feel very ufortable, the number of evil filth and wild monsters who lost their lives in the hands of this person is countless.
Not only this person.
The two teammates following behind are also not good.
One of the students majoring in [library], the body looks even weaker than Han Dong.
The arm outside the sleeve robe is as thin as wood.
In his hand, he held a staff with a skeleton skull as its core.
All over the body emits the aura of death.
The other was a typical assassin, wearing a dark skull mask.
From the hair draped over the shoulders, gait and figure, it should be a woman.
This encounter made Wendy a little scared and leaned sideways behind Han Dong.
The leader of the crusaders asked in a rather kind manner, "Aren''t you the specially selected neers? Why are you here?"
"Hello senior and senior sister! We had just entered the ancient castle area when we encountered an officer-level sneak attack and were identally separated from the rest of the squad ... I''ve been running away in the passageway with her and couldn''t find our way at all.
Can you take the two of us with you? We just need to be able to follow to leave the ancient castle."
Han Dong in advance showed a kind of neer appearance of being frightened and lost in the passageway, with such a question, not at all inconsistent.
"We will not leave, but will head to a more dangerous area, there is no time to take you ... you move by yourselves along this path. When you encounter a fork in the road, go left about the third fork corresponding to the door that leads to the front area."
"Thanks ... There shouldn''t be any threats in this passage, right?"
"Not at the moment, but after a while it''s not certain."
"Good! Thank you senior."
Han Dong tightly pulled Wendy''s hand, pretending to look like he was in a hurry but scared, and continued to move forward ... as fast as possible to separate from this small group.
As far as Han Dong''s observation is concerned.
The standard of these three is very high, higher than that of the meat shield warrior Johnny''s team ... Moreover, all three are not decent knights. Once they were approached by this group, Han Dong''s n would be interrupted.
...
Not long after the two of them had just left.
As if the hands of the necromancer boy, through the staff while creating a skull wrapped by the ghostly fire of the underworld.
The skeleton''s eye sockets gradually grew two dark eyeballs, contributing vision with the master, belonging to a means of scouting.
The skull was thrown out and immediately followed.
The blood knight at the head spoke softly:
"You need toplete the area quest in order to obtain the qualification to enter the ancient castle.
This ce belongs to the back end of the ancient fortress and is far away from the front hall, so it is not too far to run here if you get separated due to a sneak attack by an officer.
This batch of neers seems to be not simple."
The Necromancer apprentice from the library cracked his mouth while speaking.
"In this batch of neers, there is a good rtionship with the library deputy director Hera apprentice, called Martin Dempsey ... unfortunately did not get to meet him.
Otherwise, I would like to have a good exchange with such a genius."
The three of them went ahead for a short while and came to the "cksmith area".
As soon as they pushed open the door, they only saw the apprentices scattered all over the ground but could not find the cksmith''s body.
Also almost at the same time, the necromancer apprentice frowned.
"Captain, the skeleton I released out, has been found and destroyed by that kid who yed dumb just now ... ording to their route of travel.
The probability of heading to the front hall is very small and should head to the second level."
"This group of freshmen is really something ... We''ll have to speed up slightly.
If we can meet this group of freshmen again, take a little time and talk to them about the ancient castle."
"No problem, Captain."
The necromancer apprentice has sent out arms that can move freely to collect bone material from the apprentice cksmith''s body, and each additional corpse enhances this apprentice''sbat power
...
"So dangerous ... Is this the elite squad of the junior ss? If they find out that I have the ''cksmith''s Key'' on me, things could be quite troublesome.
This influence factor must be introduced into the n.
If I encounter them again in the ancient castle next time, I will definitely be targeted."
Han Dong held the sliced skeleton, feeling the residual aura of death inside, and frowned.
The encounter with such a knight squad had somewhat increased the difficulty of the overall operation, and the variability affected the entire n.
"Just now that was ... [Blood Knight - Lucius]." Wendy spoke somewhat timidly.
"You know them?"
"Well, well ... generally the trainee knights who enter with excellent grades, I have known through the files.
This Lucius is very famous, once, like you, entered as the most superior trainee crusader, the department head is very optimistic.
Rumour has it that the Scarlet Knights have issued an early recruitment order to him."
"Hmm."
"Vice-captain we must not start a conflict with them, try to avoid it."
"It depends on the situation ..."
Han Dong finally found thedder leading to the second level.
The old technique was repeated.
During the forging, Han Dong also dealt with [cksmith] in rtion to it.
When they passed through the building and reached the second floor, they put the cksmith outer skin on the two of them and perfected the treatment through "camouge".
In the identity of [cksmith- As], they went straight to the central elevator.
Along the way, they encountered various guards who wandered around the area and several special butlers who were burrowing in and out of the walls like ghosts ..., but none of them could detect the disguise.
Click.
The key was inserted into the stone door.
Along the only staircase that allows only officers and family members to enter, smoothly reached the high-level area of the castle.
The narrow passages in the lower area became spacious here ... red carpets wereid on the floor, and the path was illuminated by ornate candle holders on both sides.
There is also an eyeball device at the top to monitor the real-time situation in the passage.
Such an eyeball interested Han Dong; it is necessary to find out its main body ... may allow Han Dong''s little magic eye to be enhanced.
Find the door of the room with [As] written on it and smoothly sneak into this private room.
This ce was no longer watched by the eye.
"Wow! It''s really hot!"
Hastily took off this thick and lingering cksmith''s outer skin, and the two were sweating from the heat all the way.
Fortunately, the cksmith''s bedroom is in the normal European style, not the scorching cksmith''s room design.
There is also arge private bathroom for two people to use ...
