The first person to discover traces of the castle was Metien.
At that time, the way forward was blocked by a fallen giant tree. The thick trunk, which was more than thirty meters high according to visual inspection, was broken from the root of the tree upwards. The heavy force carried by it when it fell directly dragged it along.
More than a dozen trees around them fell together, tearing off a large area of vines and roots, leaving the ground in a mess. The pits after the tree roots were pulled out were like the surface of the earth where meteorites had hit it, and the dark soil deep underground was turned over.
It came up and was piled up randomly, mixed with the corpses of insects, beasts and birds that had no time to escape. The picture looked like it had been ravaged by some kind of horrific disaster, such as a mudslide or a storm.
Several trees are already crumbling, but part of their roots are still buried in the ground, and they are intertwined with the soil. Therefore, they are in a frightened state, as if they will fall but not as if they will not fall. The wind is slightly stronger.
When the wind blows by, their trunks and branches will sway, making a frightening low sound.
It was obviously unsafe to continue walking on this road, so Ringer and Alice discussed what to do next. Specifically, Ringer suggested a detour, and Alice nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."<
/p>
There is no way, you can’t expect her to really come up with a reliable idea, right?
So, everyone decided to go around this area that was suspected to have been ravaged by natural disasters. However, the moment they turned back, a gloomy and dark shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of Metien's sight.
"Huh?" The pink-haired little girl stopped and cast a doubtful gaze in that direction. Then she saw the same description as in the story: a dark castle, located on a high cliff, covered with
Surrounded by sharp dark red thorns, only a few towering towers were exposed. They kept rising, trying to break free from a curse-like shackles, but they were stuck in place under the entanglement of the chains, no longer qualified to touch the sky. The towers
The city bricks on the surface that have been scratched by wind and rain swords still retain traces of the past era.
With the castle as the center, the surrounding area was shrouded in a darkness that was deeper than the night. Dark clouds piled up together, almost touching the highest spire, and there was a terrifying power brewing in it. The atmosphere was oppressive and gloomy.
, looking from a distance, people will feel that it is a giant, an ancient beast, an ancient ship that is not allowed to dock, standing alone and silently at the end of the world, waiting for the baptism of the last storm.
Medien stared blankly at the old castle, and suddenly felt that her body was very cold, as if "cold" was a concept that could be felt through naked eye observation rather than actual touch. Her hands and feet gradually became cold, making it difficult to move; her blood gradually
It was cold and no longer flowed; in the end, even the heart began to become cold, as if it was about to lose the power to beat.
At this time, it was Xie Mi's call that called her back from this cold feeling.
"Hey, Metien!"
When the little goblin saw that his good friend did not follow the team, he waved from a distance and said, "What are you doing? Come on, or I will leave you behind?"
Of course, this was a joke. No one would leave Metien behind, so everyone stopped and waited for the little girl to catch up. However, Metien slowly turned around and showed everyone a very reluctant expression.
Smiling, her voice was very soft and thin, conveying a sense of weakness eroded by the cold: "Everyone, it seems there is no need to take a detour..."
"I've found it."
……
A few minutes later, everyone revised their original plan, changed direction, and headed towards the castle. Metien was walking in the middle of the team, wearing his brother's coat, and his face was a little pale.
"Are you okay, Metien?" Linge gently touched her head: "If you feel uncomfortable, we can take a rest before leaving."
"It's okay, Ringer." The little girl smiled at him: "I just think that the castle feels... very depressing, a bit like that time."
At that time, Ringo knew that she was talking about the "Blood Moon Incident" event that occurred in Linwell City. According to Alice, it seemed to be a sacrificial ceremony held by evil vampires to summon their evil gods. Like this
Cruel cults and sacrificial rituals are generally inseparable from flesh and blood souls, which is why they appear in such a weird state.
As for what happened to the old castle in front of us, we have no way of knowing.
"Then," Lin Ge was still not reassured and warned again, "When you want to take a rest, you must say so and don't let everyone worry about you."
"Yeah!"
Metien seemed to have regained his strength and nodded his head vigorously.
Lin Ge ruffled her hair and said nothing more.
……
In the story told by Mr. Mills, Sir Roman accidentally discovered the trace of the old castle while climbing in the mountains, but no matter how hard he chased it, he could not catch up with its shadow. Later, he organized several expeditions
The team all returned without success, which may indicate that finding the castle is just the first step, and the travelers still have a long way to go.
If the story is not twists and turns and bizarre enough, it will not be enough to attract the attention of viewers and guide them to immerse themselves in it and be moved by the joys and sorrows of the plot.
However, unexpectedly, it did not take them long to reach the bottom of the cliff where the castle is located.
The soil color of this mountain is very strange. It is a mixture of blood-like rusty red and the plants, trees, vines, shrubs, weeds growing on the surface... It seems to be no different from other mountain peaks, but from branches to leaves, from
From flowers to fruits, everything shines with a dark luster. Therefore, not only can people not feel their vitality, but they have a sense of eerie silence, as if they are growing and growing on the bones of the dead, greedily eating the souls.
The desire blossoms and bears fruit.
Looking up, you can look up at the dark and oppressive sky. The dark clouds gather at the top and rotate slowly like a whirlpool. There is a deep roar roaring in the depths, which reminds people of the thunder in the storm. But it is obvious that these roars are not the same as the sound of thunder and lightning.
They are completely different, they are more violent and vicious, as if there is a huge evil beast hidden in the clouds, stirring the tail fin and beating the clouds.

There is a gloomy mist everywhere, the vegetation is bleak, the ground is pitted with acid, and there is no life at all. If it rains at this time, maybe it can wash away the evil, wash away the mess, and bring waves of
The air is fresh and cool. But the dark clouds are just condensing and accumulating, creating an atmosphere that is so dry that it seems to use their weight to crush and smash the castle and the cliff below.
Stepping here is like entering another world.
"Meaning!"
Alice shuddered, touched the goosebumps on her arms, and looked at the surrounding environment with disgust: "This place is really scary. If you stay here for a long time, your health may be deducted. I think we should hurry up.
,please go back early after finishing your work?"
Xie Mi lay on Metien's head and echoed listlessly: "I think so too, this place is too uncomfortable for goblins..."
Although there are also fairies who like darkness, that kind of darkness and the darkness in front of you are obviously not the same concept.
Metien, who felt uncomfortable just now, started to comfort his friends.
Saint Xalia led her sheep and walked around the open space in front of the cliff, as if looking for something. The lamb, which was born to like digging around, followed her step by step, showing no interest in the dirty soil under its feet.
Without even looking at it.
Lin Ge suddenly had a premonition of something, slowly lowered his head and looked at his fingers.
That golden thread of fate, I don’t know when, has disappeared.
