"Crunch"

The gates of Blackeye were pushed open. Dipu and Koi had dismounted, and entered the strange place with doubt, curiosity, or a little caution.

Truth be told, Blackeye Town, as well as Blackeye Castle, have almost zero defenses. With just fifty mercenaries, it would be a fool's dream to defend this vast town. So the mercenaries stationed here are on the lookout every day. Once the enemy is discovered, he will flee after lighting the beacon fire. As for the life or death of Blackeye Town, these mercenaries, even the garrison of Grenville City, didn't care.

But then again, Blackeye Town and Blackeye Castle are nothing to grab, and there is no point in occupying them. On the contrary, it is much more cost-effective to keep this place, and to be able to trade some iron and salt every now and then, than to desperately occupy it.

That's why Blackeye Town's defense is so careless, the city walls are not repaired by anyone, and even the city gates are not closed.

As for the forty or fifty remaining townspeople in Blackeye Town, it is doubtful that they have not even moved elsewhere at this time? Or are they secretly in collusion with the bandits in the Sunset Plains?

So as soon as Dipp entered the town, he saw the two indifferent faces of Ritter and Pete from a distance. After hesitating for a moment, the two men greeted each other slightly and gave a perfunctory salute to Dipu. Then he glared behind him, and scared back the lonely prostitutes who had watched the excitement and Ritter and took them to Blackeye to entertain them. And then they ignored the past.

Such a greeting was, of course, very embarrassing to Dipu and Khoi. Thankfully, it wasn't like no one ignored the two of them. I saw an old man over fifty years old trotting over, he stroked his chest and saluted, "Is it the lord who is coming, welcome to the Black-Eyed Castle." ”

......

It wasn't until Dipp and Kye were led by the old man named Bright into the Black-Eyed Castle on the hillside that they had not recovered from the dreary atmosphere. The qiē and the qiē here are too uncomfortable.

Although there are not many people who appear in front of Dipu today, they are clearly divided into two factions. One faction is the mercenaries brought by Ritter, and the other is the townsfolk who live in Blackeye Town.

However, judging from the fact that these two factions are vaguely standing in two pieces, there must be some estrangement between them. However, the current Dipu didn't know that those townspeople also needed to earn some extra money from the mercenaries stationed there, so there was still some cooperation in this gap. That is, a little cooperative, a little dependent, but also a little defensive.

However, the strangest thing about Tip was that although Bright took the initiative to receive him, and his attitude was more enthusiastic, and it was obvious that he was one of the prestige people in the townspeople, the other townspeople had the same sense of alienation from him as the mercenaries, and at most they were respectful and distant. But this attitude should not be at all?

You know, the current Dipu is the lord, and those townspeople can only serve Dipu as the lord unless they move to other territories. It would not be surprising if their alienation from Tip stemmed from fear, strangeness, or awe. But looking at the eyes of those townspeople, it was obvious that they were not birds, and there was no sense of fear or awe. It's a little weird in between.

Anyway, now I can only bury these weirdness in my heart. And Dip has suffered a lot of humiliation along the way, so it doesn't matter if he receives some more here. A lot of things, a little more and get used to it.

So Dipu also collected his mood and began to look at the black-eyed castle in front of him. If nothing else, this will be his home for some time to come.

From Blackeye Town at the bottom of the hill to Blackeye Castle on the top of the hillside, there is also a small half-mile road, and there is only one path that is not wide.

The terrain of Blackeye Castle is quite steep, the small hill is surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, and the only gentle slope is facing Blackeye Town at the foot of the mountain. While those cliffs were not enough to stop the skilled magicians and swordsmen, the army would certainly not be able to use them, so they could only attack the Black-Eyed Castle through the path of Guò.

Therefore, the Blackeye Castle and Blackeye Town that were built back then, the geographical location they chose was really good. But now this qiē is all nonsense. No one, then nothing.

However, compared to the ruins of the town, the Blackeye Castle is relatively well preserved. Obviously, the Peron Magister who presided over the construction at that time was still very attentive.

The entire castle is made of huge stones, and after 70 years of wind and rain, although it is a little old in appearance, it is still intact as a whole.

In particular, Di Pu also saw that on the periphery of the Black-Eyed Castle, there used to be magic arrays such as magic guards and magic traps. Although the materials of these magic arrays have been dismantled, the lines and places carved on the ground are still there. As long as you clean it up and install new materials and magic crystals, you can quickly restore the effect of these magic arrays.

Even Tip found that on the walls around the castle, there were still places reserved for the four magic crystal cannons. Although the price of a magic crystal cannon may not even be affordable for the Peron Magister, such an exaggerated design can also show the ambition of the Peron Magus back then.

Moreover, the living area of the Black-Eyed Castle is also very well designed. Garden, hall, bedroom, study, living room, kitchen, and room, the only fly in the ointment is that all the rooms are empty.

After several searches by the kingdom and the Mage's Guild, the Black-Eyed Castle will certainly not leave anything of value behind. Coupled with the "outstretched hand" of outsiders in the future, there is not even a single chair left in the entire castle.

Thankfully, not many people dared to live in this black-eyed castle. Like the mercenaries and townsfolk in town, who are interested in taking a "day trip" to Blackeye Castle, no one will care about them. But if they dare to occupy the dove's nest and live in this black-eyed castle, they will definitely find death. It is likely that some passing magician and nobleman will destroy them, and who will let these commoners dare to touch the realm of the noble?

So now, although the inside of the Blackeye Castle is dusty, it is still clean.

Seeing that it was getting late, Dipu and Kei swept the floor of their bedroom roughly, and then laid the floor to make do for the night.

Before falling asleep, Dipu puffed up and said, "Well, let's buy a bed first!"
