Chapter 767: The Ancient Castle in the Forest
The night is like a veil that covers the earth.
Outside Jialan City, more than ten miles away, in the center of the woods, an abandoned and dilapidated castle stands.
You can see that the castle has been abandoned for a long time. The walls made of large bluestone blocks are full of cracks, the top of the main castle is peeling off in large patches of paint, overgrown with weeds inside and out, and the corners are covered with oily green or even dark green moss.
But for some reason, at this time, there was a faint light shining through the castle, as if someone was moving inside.
"Rustling ......"
Outside the castle, footsteps sounded, and a lonely figure approached. He bowed down under a tree outside the castle, squinted at the entire castle, and slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face.
Shander was still in disarray, his clothes in tatters, and his surface covered in bloodβpart of his own, and part of the wizard of the Order of Truth whom he had killed. However, Shande's state has recovered a lot, even if he does not recover 100% combat effectiveness, at least it will no longer affect the normal performance of strength.
Shande looked at the castle seriously, his eyes like ice balls slowly turned, and after watching for a long time in this summer, the whole person exuded a cold winter-like atmosphere.
He followed the instructions and came to this castle, already knowing that it was full of wizards of the Order of Truth. And then, what he has to do is simple, which is to rush in and try to kill everyone inside.
This is obviously very difficult and dangerous.
But he was not afraid, in fact, in his opinion, it was easier than escaping in the forest.
Because, all along, his goal has been to take revenge on the truth. From the Inheritance Wizard Book I obtained, most of the spells I learned were attack-oriented, not defensive-oriented. So, he's more offensive than defensive.
In addition, the defense makes him feel as if he is surviving, but the attack can make him extremely excited. Because he knew that the attack was avenging Sophia and venting his anger.
So, let's make this anger more intense.
Shander took a deep breath, slowly pulled the bone staff from his sleeve, held it in his hand, pointed to the ground a few meters away, and closed his lips, chanting an obscure incantation.
β...... Duck...... Star......
As the last syllable exited, where the bone staff was pointing, the air suddenly twisted, and the darkness around it suddenly gathered, quickly shrinking into a ball, then twisting and deforming.
After a few seconds, a slender wolf stood up.
The wolf's whole body was pitch black, and only two eyes were dark green, as if they were ghost fire floating out of the underworld.
This is a shadow wolf, and his attack power is not very strong in a head-to-head confrontation, but he is very good at hiding himself in the dark, and unleashing a stealth strike like an assassin. As long as you hit the enemy's vital point, you can inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and it is an excellent helper for sneak attacks, assassinations, and attacks.
As soon as the shadow wolf was born, he immediately looked around vigilantly, and when he saw Shande, he let out a low roar, as if to convey some message.
Sander spoke up, and uttered a strange command: "Sokolo!"
The Shadow Wolf seemed to understand, took a deep look at Sander, turned his head to look at the castle again, leaped into the darkness and disappeared.
Seeing the Shadow Wolf disappear, Sander didn't react much, and instead of following the Shadow Wolf to attack the castle, he used his bone staff to point to a nearby ground again and recite a spell.
β...... Duck...... Star......
The same spells, the same darkness gathering, shrinking, twisting, and transforming.
Soon, another shadow wolf was born, and it looked a little shorter and stronger than the previous one, and it seemed even more tyrannical. The eyes are still oily green, but if you look closely, they will be a little more blood-red, like the lava flowing in the depths of a volcano.
Seeing this somewhat special shadow wolf appear, Sandren paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and issued the same command: "Sokolo!"
The Shadow Wolf understood, and without hesitation, he leaped into the darkness and disappeared.
Sander uttered the spell for the third time and began to summon a third Shadow Wolf.
Then came the fourth, the fifth, the sixth......
In one breath, Sander summoned a dozen Shadow Wolves to form an army, and made them all disappear into the darkness to wait for their orders, and then stopped.
Taking a deep breath, Sander pulled out a flat flask in his arms, tilted his neck, and pushed the last remaining liquid into his mouth.
After drinking, with a wave of his hand, he dropped the flask on the ground, and was about to approach the castle.
Suddenly, I thought of something again, slowly reversed my steps, picked up the wine jug on the ground, looked at it carefully, and carefully stuffed it into my arms and put it away.
Then I looked back at the castle.
"Brush, brush!"
With a wave of the bone staff, Sander cast multiple spells on his body, and whispered from his mouth, "Costona!"
After the words fell, the whole person was like a weightless feather, quietly floating towards the ancient castle, and the darkness around him was like a surge of water, following him over the city wall and diving in.
......
At this time inside the castle, in the hall.
A fist-sized white ball of light floated in the center of the top of the hall, and several smaller white clusters floated in the four corners of the top of the hall, illuminating the hall incomparably brightly.
More than twenty wizards sat in the hall, some busy at a table, others sitting in chairs doing nothing, others gossiping.
This situation continued for a while, and a man who was in front of a table and didn't know what to do suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of crimson penetrating eyes, which were none other than Garo.
Garo frowned slightly, and asked the people in the hall in a loud voice, "Team Leader Dolan led the team to hunt down the target, isn't it a short time?"
An old man next to him stood up and responded with his eyebrows lowered: "Captain, the latest news is that Team Leader Dolan is still being hunted. However, the target has been seriously injured, and it is difficult to resist effectively, so it will not take long to succeed. β
"So, it's not entirely certain that it will work, is it?" "Garo's crimson eyes rolled and asked, "How long ago was this news?"
"Three hours ago. β
"Three hours ago?" Garo pursed his lips and tapped on the table, "Alright then, just wait, and let me know if there's any new news coming back." β
"Yes. The old man said.
Garo lowered his head and continued to busy. But as soon as he lowered it, he didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly raised it again, denied his words, looked at the old man next to him and said, "No, it's not safe to do this, it's better to send someone to the scene to understand the situation." β
"Captain, is this necessary?" the old man frowned slightly, obviously with a different opinion, "The target is indeed a bit tricky, but the people we sent out are far beyond the strength of the other party. No matter how strong the other party is, there will be no accidents, right?"
