Main Text Volume Chapter 1380 The Strangeness of the Black Castle

When they crossed the plain, they saw a dark pit that looked like a natural moat, extending from the far end to the unknown depths of darkness. It was like a line that could cut the day and night, dividing the earth into two halves.

Angel looked at this bottomless dark pit, and doubt flashed in his eyes.

The three layers of the fairy tale world, the surface, the inner and the outer world, actually have the same topography. He clearly remembered that at this location in the surface world, there should be a continuous basin. Why did such a deep pit appear in the inner world?

"This is the pit where the sun bird fell." Sanders explained the reason to Angel: "It is said that it was caused by a legendary wizard when the world merged."

The so-called sun bird is actually the atavistic existence of the molten fire bird.

Angel once saw a vast number of molten fire birds in the middle world, and the number was very astonishing. Each molten fire bird is a half-step wizard-level monster. When they fly like a fire cloud, even wizards will deliberately give way.

However, the molten firebird can only live in the middle world, because the concentration of magic there can reproduce and create them. The sunbird can only live in the inner world, just like the giant of the dangerous mountain.

"Whether the sunbird is too powerful or just covets the body of the sunbird, in the end it was killed by a legendary wizard. This pit was left at that time." Sanders paused and pointed at the deep pit: "However, this deep pit was used by the Black Castle because it is close to the Black Castle."

Use? Angel looked at Sanders in confusion.

Sanders looked at the dark and deep pit and said lightly: "Didn't you go to the Black Castle before? What did you see most near the Black Castle at that time?"

Angel recalled for a moment and answered with a firm tone: "Undead."

Sanders: "Where there are undead, there must be corpses. How many corpses have you seen in the Black Castle?"

As for corpses, Angel did see a lot in the Black Castle, and there were even several mass graves, including the flower sparrow, which was found in the cemetery.

However, the total amount of these corpses is much less than the total amount of undead.

You know, the reason why Angel was able to refine the mysterious object in the Black Castle was because there were endless undead there. The right time and right place made the alchemy successful.

There must be corresponding corpses for so many undead. Although the area near the Black Castle is densely packed with corpses, it is indeed not proportional to the number of undead.

Angel frowned: "Teacher, you mean, this deep pit is full of corpses?"

Sanders nodded: "Yes, although the skeleton of the sunbird is gone, its remaining flame breath has not dissipated. So, the Black Castle used this place to deal with the corpses at first."

"And there are pipes directly leading to the interior of the Black Castle. These pipes are used to transport corpses. More than 600 years ago, a supernatural person sneaked into the Black Castle through the pipes below in order to find his missing lover... Regardless of the result, it is confirmed that there are corpses below."

"However, there were too many corpses later, which suppressed the flame breath of the sunbird, and it became what it is now."

After a pause, Sanders looked at the deep pit with a suspicious look: "Speaking of which, it's a bit strange that there are usually undead wandering around here, but why are they gone now?"

Looking around, it was pitch black, and there was indeed no breath of undead.

"Could it be that she was dealt with by the people of the Black Castle?" Angel said, "After all, now that the King of Dusk has returned, she should be different from Isabella, right?"

Angel had come into contact with Isabella before. Although she was a witch of the soul system, her personality was completely different from Isabella. At least Angel did not see Isabella's "unprovoked killing" and "bathing in the blood of pure girls".

"Maybe." Sanders pondered, "After all, Isabella was a figure from a thousand years ago. In the relevant records, it is indeed shown that she was not a bloodthirsty person. Later, the reason why the Black Castle became gloomy and weird, and the undead were everywhere, was caused by Isabella."

"Let's go, after passing this pit, we will basically reach the scope of the Black Castle."

The pit is very deep, but the width is actually only about a few hundred meters. They flew over it quickly. When they flew over the pit, Angel could clearly feel that the gloomy and dead air rose from below, which was so thick that it seemed to be substantial, and he could also smell a lot of corruption.

If it were a less powerful transcendent, he would probably be affected by hallucinations in this dense death aura. If there were undead spirits lurking nearby, his fate would definitely be miserable.

Just from these death auras, it can be seen how much killing the Black Castle has done.

Angel's expression was very gloomy. When passing through the deep pit, it seemed that countless people were crying in his ears, and whispering about their innocence, resentment, hatred and madness.

Although he had been shocked once when he came to the Black Castle last time, it was still a bit hard to let go when he felt it again.

He knew that there were often killings in the wizard world, but it was probably only the Black Castle that had done such a large number of killings against ordinary people. Other wizards would also despise such behavior.

It was nothing more than that before Isabel returned, the situation of the Black Castle was very bad. Isabella even had to win over Bogula, hoping to become a partner with Bogula to save the Black Castle, which was in danger at the time.

...

After passing the pit where the sunbird fell, they came to a bush.

However, most of the trees here are dead wood, pitch black, without leaves or life. When it sways with the wind, it looks like a terrifying monster, waving strangely growing branches at you.

Walking in this environment, a depressing atmosphere followed.

Moreover, a large number of black clouds gathered in the sky at this time. There was a loud bang, thunder came first, and white light lightning followed.

In such a familiar environment, Angel already understood that they had entered the confines of Castle Black without Sanders having to say anything.

After all, they entered the range of others. They did not continue flying, but landed and slowly walked deeper into the bushes.

"It's a bit strange. It stands to reason that we have entered the security area of ​​Castle Black and will be detected by the people of Castle Black immediately. However, I didn't feel any eyes on us." Sanders frowned.

They arrived without deliberately covering their tracks. According to common sense, they should indeed be discovered.

But now, it seems like nothing is happening?

Angel also felt a little strange and said softly: "It seems a little too quiet here."

Sanders understood what Angel was talking about. There were a large number of undead near Castle Black. These undead were scattered around when there were no living people alive. The undead would not be quiet all the time. They would either weep or whisper. , but now they have been walking in the bush for several minutes, but there is no sound of the dead, only the roar of thunder in the sky and the rustling sound when they step on dead branches.

"Could the situation here be related to the incident in Castle Black?" Angel asked.

It was precisely because of unknown changes in Castle Black that the station in Sky Mechanical City was unable to contact the headquarters, so they came directly without saying hello in advance.

However, they actually don’t know what the so-called accident is.

‘Mechanical Beast King’ Rosen seems to know something, because Sanders once learned a piece of news from him, and Isabel contacted him a month ago. However, Rosen did not reveal the true situation.

Therefore, only when they come to Castle Black in person will they know the truth.

Sanders pondered: "It's hard to say. It's also possible that, as you guessed before, it was Isabel who cleaned up these undead."

Sanders said this, but there was a question in his mind: Even if he cleans up the undead, it won't be so thorough, right?

They kept walking.

We walked for about half an hour and climbed several mountains. Along the way, they saw a lot of bones and highly decomposed corpses, but they still didn't see any undead.

Now they are parked in a cemetery.

"This place is not far from Castle Black, but we still haven't sensed anyone from Castle Black." Sanders paused and said, "Something is indeed wrong. Let's stop for a while and let me sense the current situation in Castle Black."

After Sanders said that, he began to sense the situation in his area directly through the spread of mental power.

He was actually able to sense it very early, but because he was within the range of others, he restrained himself. However, no one in Castle Black has found out about them so far, which shows that there is definitely some kind of problem.

While Sanders sensed the situation, Angel put his mental power into his bracelet.

At this time, Bobota, who was in the bracelet, was facing a mirror, adjusting her clothes.

After looking back and forth several times, Popota finally became frustrated and touched his ugly face with a sad look in his eyes.

"If you feel dissatisfied, I can cast a transformation spell on you."

Angel's voice reached Bobota's ears. His body froze, and his originally smooth movements suddenly became a little sluggish, like a puppet, pulling one movement at a time, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Angel, you, you... why are you here suddenly?" After Bobota finished speaking, he remembered that he was in the other person's bracelet. It was a bit strange to ask such a question. He coughed to hide his guilt, and then Said: "I mean, you suddenly came to me, is it because..."

Bobota's voice became quieter and quieter.

Although Angel didn't hear what Popota was saying behind him, he could basically guess what he meant.

"You are right, we have arrived at Castle Black." After Angel said this, Popota immediately looked like he was sitting upright: "However, we haven't reached the location of Huaqiaoqiao yet."
