Chapter 159: The Cursed Castle
Chapter 159 The Cursed Ancient Castle
"She just let you go to the castle like this?" Tu Kuang asked strangely when he saw Xiao Hua walking back like this. He had only obtained the assassinator badge through the test of the castle. Generally speaking, Lea would not take the initiative to tell the player that there was a way to test the castle. The reason why he knew this way was to do a task and listen to a certain NPC and then take the initiative to ask Lea, and Lea would tell him.
Now he told Xiao Hua the news. Xiao Hua mentioned to Leah that Leah naturally would not hide it, but Leah likes to watch other people's games very much. Before agreeing to let the player go to the castle to participate in the test, he must win a game in front of her. Otherwise, even if it was in the castle, the NPC in the castle would not take you seriously, and the test would naturally be even more impossible to talk about.
"Oh, I've seen her sister." Xiao Hua laughed embarrassedly, then thought for a while, and asked Tu Kuang: "What is the test in the ancient castle?" Since Tu Kuang knew this way, he must know the approximate situation of the test.
"Basically speaking, it is to kill monsters, but the specific test content is completely random. Different professions and attribute systems will not be the same. As far as I know, even for the same professions and attribute systems, the monsters that need to be killed will be different." Tu Kuang shook his head.
"But everyone's mission process is the same! The rough process is this: after finding the npc in the castle, she will let you go to three rooms, each room will refresh one or several monsters, kill all the monsters in the room. Even if you pass, as long as you pass three rooms in a row, the test will be considered passing.
But there is one thing you must know, I think it will be more useful to you. If you find that the monsters in the room cannot be defeated, you can exit the room first. The monsters will not follow out of the room and you don’t have to fight it. But if you go in again, the monsters will be in full state again." Tu Kuang added.
"What attributes does that assassinator badge have?" Xiao Hua was actually more concerned about the mysterious item with unknown attributes.
"Hehe, this must be kept confidential. If you can get it yourself, you will know it. If you can't get it, it's better not to know it. But I can tell you that the badges you get through the castle NPC test will be a little different from those you get through the ring competition. In terms of attributes, there are a little more attributes than ordinary badges. Although there are not many attributes, they are still very practical, especially for assassins and thieves." Tu Kuang laughed.
The gate of Black Mist City is facing the east. Xiao Hua has always been slapping monsters in the east of Black Mist City, and the endless sea is also in the east. As for the west, Xiao Hua has never explored it. The map is too big, so it is calculated in hours when going to leveling points. He has no interest in exploring in this vast land. It is not that he doesn't like adventures, but that he has no efficiency and no goals to explore is mostly a waste of time.
If you don’t have Tu Kuang’s guidance, it would have taken a lot of time. Leah said that the castle was not far away. In fact, it took almost two hours to arrive at Xiao Hua, according to the coordinates given by Tu Kuang. The rooster was raised for almost a month. After Xiao Hua lost a lot of advanced feed to feed him, and he didn’t use much time every day, his loyalty increased very quickly. He was soon promoted to a level 2 mount, but it was still far from a level 4 mount that could fly. It took about half a year to raise a mount to level 4.
After walking through the plains west of Black Mist City and walking in a sparse dark green forest for nearly half an hour, a huge dome castle appeared in front of Xiao Hua. This was just the conclusion that he got from seeing the dome above the castle and the four high steeple wizard towers through the tall side wall in front of him.
The castle seems to have been around for a long time. The gray walls are covered with layers of blue-black asphalt, and tiny vines are climbing up and growing along the walls, with some colorful flowers blooming in between.
Walk along the wall to the front of the gate of the castle wall. The gate is inward and connected to the front of the castle gate is a road paved with white cobblestones. The cobblestones are sorted very carefully. When walking on it, there is no feeling of unstableness.
Xiao Hua had seen many fine buildings in the Second World, but he was inevitably surprised to enter this castle that was extremely similar to the places where the Western vampires lived in his impression.
Advance all the way, stepping into the castle, in the lobby of the first floor of the castle, as Tu Kuang said, Xiao Hua saw a young and beautiful noble young woman sitting in front of a small wooden round table, siping a glass of black tea in her mouth.
This noble young woman is NPC Hassan, who is responsible for the test.
"Hello, dear Mrs. Hassan, I was introduced by Miss Leah to carry out the assassination test." Xiao Hua said cautiously and politely. According to Tu Kuang's experience, the noble young woman in front of her was extremely etiquette and being polite may reduce the difficulty of the test.
"Welcome, I have received a letter from Leah." Hassan put down the exquisite teacup in his hand and nodded kindly.
Hassan looks at least thirty years old. He is wearing a silver-white low-cut aristocratic dress, with silver-shiny jewelry on his wrists and neck, a white and cold peacock face, rosy lips, and a light blue eye shadow painted above his black and juvenile eyebrows. If it is reality, this mature and cold aristocratic young woman must have great lethality to men. Unfortunately, she met in the game, and Xiao Hua did not have too much imagination.
"This is the thing. The underground storage room behind the castle yard was cursed by a wizard a long time ago. As long as someone enters it, monsters will come out to attack. These monsters sometimes even run to the castle to scare people. Although they leave the storage room, these monsters will have no attack power, but suddenly they will inevitably be shocked. I thought that for this reason, it was difficult for me to even hire a servant in the castle, and they were all scared away. So I had to ask Leah to find someone to help.
This curse is very strange. Although people come from Leah to help and temporarily kill the monsters in the three rooms, they can never completely remove the curse. Now, I don’t think about removing the curse. As long as you can remove the monsters in the three rooms and restore the castle to a temporary calm for a while, I will be satisfied. As a descendant of the nobles, I still have some power in the Assassinator Union. As long as you can remove those monsters, I just need to give you a letter of evaluation. The Assassinator Union will naturally recognize your strength and get the corresponding assassinator position." Hassan explained the matter in detail, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his white face.
A curse that cannot be lifted? How does this sound like a mission with hidden silence?
"Madam Hassan, how can I completely remove the curse?" Xiao Hua asked. He felt that if the curse in this storage room could be completely removed, there would definitely be unexpected rewards!
But Xiao Hua knew that even if there was such a hidden task, it would definitely not be easy to pass, and it would probably not be easy to trigger it. Otherwise, with Kuang Tu's strength, he would have completely eliminated the curse and completed the task.
"I don't know this either. In fact, I don't have any detailed information on how the curse was produced. I just learned from the owner of the previous generation of castle that it was cursed by a wizard. Before I moved to this castle, this curse had existed for many years." Hassan shook his head.
This answer is similar to what Xiao Hua thought, and Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Then, Hassan took Xiao Hua out of the castle and came to a small wooden house behind the castle. He opened the door of the wooden house and entered. Except for a few shelves on the walls, there was nothing in the wooden house. On the floor of the wooden house, there was a locked rectangular wooden cover.
"The storage room is under this wooden cover. Please be careful after entering. If the monster is too powerful, please be sure to exit, otherwise your life will be in danger. Those monsters have killed many people so far!" Hassan reminded him.
Hassan took out the key, opened the wooden cover and lifted it up. A staircase extending straight downward appeared on the ground. Xiao Hua nodded and walked in.
The stairs were not very deep. After about six or seven meters deep, the stairs reached the bottom. There was a passage in front of Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua walked straight over. There was a hall at the end of the passage, and there were three wooden doors on the three walls of the hall, inside which were the three storage rooms.
The light in the basement of the castle was not so dark. There was a magic lamp on every distance between the surrounding walls. Xiao Hua stood in the hall and looked around carefully. He found that there was nothing special, so he picked the room on the left and pushed the door open and went in.
Inside the wooden door is a room that is much larger than the outside hall. There are several magic lamps on the walls around the room. However, because the room is too big, looking a little further away, you will feel dim and blurred and you can't see clearly.
The floor of the room was messy, with some parchment paper vaguely visible, and there were many messy wooden boxes on the edges and corners of the walls.
Xiao Hua moved inside carefully. Before the monster was refreshed, he naturally had to let the monster come out before talking.
In the darkness, a white shadow appeared silently behind Xiao Hua!
Xiao Hua only felt the light at the corner of his eyes suddenly change slightly differently. He was shocked and quickly turned his body. At the same time, he retreated quickly and then opened the distance first.
"Ghost?" Xiao Hua saw clearly the appearance of the monster behind him, but found that the monster was actually a white ghost body.
Chapter completed!
