Chapter 272 Simple Game
"Is this Beckford's trump card?"
Ethan can only laugh without saying a word, this may be a big trouble for Brent and the others, but it is really a joke for Ethan and others, none of them are mixed with magic stone technology - Ethan's His family is all on the Dawn Goddess, and he has no magic stone equipment at all.
And with the improvement of his own strength, he gradually got rid of the embarrassing situation of relying solely on props to use magic. Even if the magic props he brought can't be used, he is not incapable of dealing with it, not to mention the strange ban effect on him. Magic doesn't work.
In this way, the situation is more interesting.
Perhaps in Beckford's plan, they lost the help of the magic stone equipment, and these adventurers will definitely fall into trouble when facing various monsters in the castle.
However, Ethan's group is a group of alternatives, which leads to this group of people can still rampage in the castle, even if a slightly stronger monster occasionally jumps out, it is just a magic bullet.
"This game seems to be a little interesting."
"What a childish game."
Loki said that this kind of game of wandering around and then looking for the locked 'companion' is not fun at all. Even if you kill all kinds of monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, you can show your strength in different ways. He still doesn't feel that interesting.
"I think it's fun."
The happiest child is Laura. She thinks this is a real-life adventure action game. She even asks for various weapons from Logan in a different way, and then plays them one by one.
Obviously it should be a hard fight, but I don't know when it suddenly turned into a game.
Since the monsters can't pose any threat, no matter how big the castle is, it can't stop this group of people from rescuing the "companions" hidden in every corner.
The team is getting bigger and bigger, but after realizing the status quo, no idiot jumped out to cause trouble for Ethan and the others.
Not only did the rescued adventurers stop looking for trouble, but even Brent and Brad didn't say much, quietly watching the performances of Ethan and the others.
"How many people have been rescued?"
Laura kept counting silently, because she was the most engaged in playing, and immediately gave an accurate number: "Seventy-one people."
"Only seventy-one?"
Ethan felt that he was about to turn the castle all over. Although the castle was not small, it wouldn't take much time to turn it around quickly.
"Have we gone through all the rooms? Only more than half of the people have been rescued, which proves that many people are hidden in more secret places."
It's not surprising that such a castle has dungeons, secret rooms, etc., but what's the point? Is it simply to increase the difficulty of the game?
"No, it's all about making us stay in the castle longer."
Going back to the place where the gate is located, it is relatively spacious and everyone can gather. Ethan directly asked Serena to conduct an inspection for everyone.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel something is wrong."
Things are definitely not that simple. Ethan feels that Beckford must have a backer. He not only asked Serena to check everyone, but also checked everyone's situation himself.
"There is indeed a problem."
This inspection revealed that a 'seed' was planted on the bodies of these 'captives'. This seed was very inconspicuous. It was usually hidden inside the body and would not cause any impact on people.
But the seeds contain a strong energy of death, which is strong enough to turn a person into a powerful undead creature in an instant.
This thing is very troublesome, but it is after it is activated, although I don't know under what conditions this thing will activate; it may also be activated remotely by Beckford; but as long as it does not erupt, it will not be difficult for Ethan.
One by one, these seeds of death were removed, and the Holy Light spell, which Serena was not very good at originally, has also become proficient in a lot of training.
When everyone present looked at Ethan on them, and 'sucked' out one after another energy group that exuded a strong breath of death, everyone was chilled, even if they didn't know what it was, they were aware of it. By no means a good thing.
After cleaning out the seeds from the last human body, Ethan also let out a sigh of relief, and then he checked Brent and others, and the result was very bad.
"It's not very good."
Brent nodded, and he also realized that although Ethan didn't suck out any energy balls from his body just now, the traces of black smoke that he drew out were also not good things.
"In this castle... maybe even the air we breathe contains powerful death energy. The longer we stay, the more this energy will accumulate in the body, but I don't know what special method is used, so we can't do anything about it. Realize that."
Those seeds in the human body were not deliberately placed in it, but they had been in the castle long enough, and the accumulated death energy slowly condensed into it.
"The most troublesome thing is that even if we know this, there is no good way to prevent it."
Ethan himself doesn't need to worry; neither does Serena, the negative energy is actually good for her.
Loki? This bit of negative energy can't hurt him as an Asgardian at all; Logan and Laura don't need him to worry, maybe they will encounter some troubles before, but after coming into contact with Druid doctrine, they learned some After the knowledge of the Druid, even if he does not become a real Druid, it is not difficult to prevent such a little negative energy.
Those who will really be affected are those other than Ethan, especially with such a large group, it is like carrying a group of bombs that can be detonated at any time.
"They can't stay any longer."
Brent also realized this, not only these people can't stay, he and Brad are not suitable to stay.
"While dispersing was a bad choice, now we have to separate."
"But even if you leave with everyone, there are still nearly half of the people who have not been rescued. What about those people?"
Ethan shook his head: "I'm not asking you to leave directly. You take this group of people out of the castle and wait outside to pick up the people who were rescued from behind."
At present, this is the most suitable method, but I don't know how long it will take Ethan to find all the people. It seems that this is not an easy thing.
"It's actually not that difficult."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to demolish this castle layer by layer."
No matter how secret Beckford hides people and how many institutions there are, Ethan has to play the game according to the routine he designed. I didn’t understand Beckford’s plan before, and Ethan hasn’t acted yet. Now that he found that he couldn't waste any more time, he didn't bother to continue playing according to the other party's rules, and directly chose the way he was used to to solve the problem.
That is his most used brute force method.
Starting from the top floor, one room at a time will be demolished. No matter how secret your mechanism is, I will tear down the walls without cracking it at all. Can you still hide?
Blast the wall with a magic cannonball, allowing Brent and the others to get out of the castle, and then Ethan started this unreasonable 'game way' as if he had opened a cheat, and the rest of the people were soon caught. Ethan found it.
Every time they find one, they will be checked by Ethan, preventing these people from being locked up for too long and turning into undead creatures.
"You're like cheating in a game."
Laura despises Ethan's "playing method" because it is too unskilled, but Ethan doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. Problems that can be solved simply are better to be solved simply. Why make it so complicated?
What's more, it is their enemies who want to play the game, and making the enemy unhappy is the right choice.
It didn't take too long for Ethan to tear down the castle, and the people who were rescued later would also leave the castle and join Brent who was guarding outside.
After waiting for a while, it made no difference whether or not he was in the castle. The entire castle had been completely destroyed and turned into a tattered ruin. From a distance, you could see what Ethan was doing.
Brent counted the number of people and found that there was only one person left, and this person was still familiar to him. It was Bruno who agreed to join the expedition very early.
"And the devil's heart has not been found."
Not on the ground, it must be underground, if Beckford hadn't lied to them. More importantly, Ethan has demolished the entire castle, but as long as he stands in this area, the magic stone equipment is still unusable, so the technology or equipment that can ban magic stone equipment must also be underground. .
"How are you going to find it?"
Ethan looked at Loki, and the Prince of Asgard immediately understood what Ethan meant.
"I've just recovered a little, can't you think of another way?"
"You only need to use the scepter once, and you don't need to use the power of the Frost Crate. It's not stressful for you."
"I was just looking for a random reason, but I simply didn't want to help."
Although he said so, Loki still took out the scepter in his hand, but just when he was about to attack, the only Captain Bruno who was not found appeared himself.
"Captain Bruno?"
Ethan did not meet him, but was on full alert. This guy appeared a little weird, and the equipment he was wearing was clearly a battle suit only available in the Sea of Miracles.
After Bruno spoke, Ethan knew that the person in front of him was not the companion he needed to save at all.
"I didn't expect you to have such a powerful strength, and even destroy Lord Beckford's death castle, which really makes me unbelievable."
