Chapter 1761 City of Gold

In this giant cemetery hidden inside the demiplane, in addition to the name and date of birth and death of the deceased, some of the tombstones also engraved the identity of the deceased by the way.

After checking one by one, Joan found that almost all the servants buried here were the servants of the cloud giant archmage Vavrunir, and there were very few immediate family members.

As the wax golem mentioned before, most of Vavrunir's relatives and friends have left Cloudsdale to participate in the war against the dragons—in fact, history has proved that it was a desperate resistance.

Judging from the evidence provided by these tombstones, Vavrunir's giant relatives and friends may never return, and they all died on the battlefield in the end.

Joan did not find the tombstone of Master Wavrunier himself in the cemetery. This old man is likely to be like the wax golem said-before he left Cloud City, he had buried the last servant himself, and no one else Accompanied.

Cloud giants have a long lifespan, and it is said that they can live up to 400 years. However, compared with tens of thousands of years, four centuries are just a snap of the fingers.

Unless Master Wavrunier masters some kind of immortality secret, or turns himself into an undead creature like a lich, it is impossible to survive in the world. As for whether he has returned here in his lifetime, and whether he will be buried in Cloud City, Joe Ann is still unknown.

There were no more clues to collect in the cemetery, and Joan turned to look at the northern valley entrance, looking at the dimly lit area.

Why is this demiplane deliberately hidden?

Is it to protect the long-sleepers in the cemetery from being disturbed by outsiders, or is there another reason, such as the brightly lit construction factory area opposite, is there a bigger secret hidden?

Now that he has arrived here, Joan will of course search the demiplane thoroughly until all the doubts in his heart are solved.

Thinking of this, he remotely controlled the twelve glass magic eyes to clear the way ahead, scouting the wind and grass along the way, then transformed into a bee-man form by himself, and flew to the factory area with the magic eyes.

During the ten-mile journey, Joan flew for about a quarter of an hour without being attacked along the way. Apart from plants and insects, he didn't even see a single mouse.

It seemed that apart from him, an outsider, there were no other intelligent creatures in this small world, and the unusual calm made him panic instead.

Flying near the factory area, with the help of lights, Joan noticed that a towering wall was built in front of it. Like the manor outside, a luminous enchantment rose from the top of the wall, connected with the sky, preventing outsiders from breaking in from the sky.

The enchantment blocked the line of sight, and Joan couldn't see the facilities inside the courtyard wall clearly, and didn't want to take the risk of breaking open the only door, so he used a "wall penetration technique" to go directly through the wall and sneak into the courtyard.

Going in and taking a look, there are indeed many factory-like buildings in the courtyard, but all of them are dark and silent.

In the center of the courtyard stood a dark blue castle, sixty feet high by visual estimation, with a total of three floors including the attic.

Although the scale of this castle is far from being comparable to that of Cloud City, it brings a stronger sense of oppression to Joan, as if the castle itself has life, and it may wake up from a deep sleep at any time and turn into a gnawing beast Behemoth.

Joan scratched his head, dispelled these unfounded assumptions, and focused on observing the blue-black castle.

The first floor of the castle was pitch black, while lights leaked through the windows on the second and third floors. Visually, it was a magical light source, most likely the "Eternal Flame".

Joan waved his hand and ordered the twelve glass eyes to explore the way ahead, and followed behind with light steps.

The closer to the castle, the more Joan was attracted by the illuminated walls.

This castle does not seem to be built of ordinary bricks and stones. Judging from the metal reflection of the wall, Joan can't help but have a bold guess that is almost crazy:

"This castle, shouldn't it be made of fine gold?!"

Rationality told Joan that this idea was absurd.

How could such a huge castle be built entirely of expensive and rare fine gold?

Even if all the fine gold utensils that exist in the world of Vales are collected, smelted and cast into bricks, it is not enough to build such a majestic castle.

But judging from the scene in front of him, unless this is an illusion, the beautiful and deep blue-black color of the castle is indeed the unique texture of fine gold.

From the mysterious castle in front of him, Joan thought of the adamantine cube found in the "Alchemy Laboratory" on the fifth floor of Cloudsdale yesterday.

Joan hurriedly opened the storage bag, took out the folded fortress "Ozuli", held it in the palm of his hand to compare with the castle in front of him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

From the appearance, "Ozuli" is clearly a miniature model of the castle in front of you. The only difference is that "Ozuli" has only two floors, and it lacks the steeple-like attic on the top floor of the castle!

Joan frowned and thought for a few seconds, hesitating whether to enlarge the folded fortress, and then compare it with the castle opposite. If the architectural details are the same, it cannot be considered a coincidence.

He hadn't made up his mind yet, when the castle in front of him suddenly sounded a sharp alarm, which echoed in this closed and silent small world, making it extremely harsh.

Joan was slightly taken aback, only to realize that a glass magic eye was too close to the castle, triggering a magic alarm.

He quickly calmed down, switched his viewing angle to the magic eye flying in the front, and found that the main gate of the castle was slowly opening. With the roar of machinery and gears, a group of six-foot-tall humanoid creatures came out in line!

"It turns out there are still residents in the castle!"

Joan's nerves were tense, and he couldn't tell whether it was surprise or fright.

After calming down and observing carefully, he found that the movements of the creatures walking out of the castle were a little stiff, without the slightest breath of life. They turned out to be just a group of metal structures with human shapes.

Curious, Joan activated "Advanced Internal Vision" to check the group of constructed creatures awakened by the alarm.

...

Reconnaissance target: Agency servant × 10 (medium-sized construct)

Attributes: Strength 16, Dexterity 13, Constitution-, Intelligence-, Wisdom 12, Charisma 10

Special Ability: Undiscovered

...

Joan clearly remembered that in the "Golem Research Notes" written by Archmage Vavrunil, he briefly described "organ servants", a low-grade construct creature, mainly used to replace manpower and engage in certain tasks. Too heavy or extremely dangerous work, although the combat effectiveness is far inferior to the killing machine like the golem, but such a large group rushing out is quite scary.

Qiao An didn't want to get entangled with these iron lumps, so she flapped the bee wings and flew into the air. However, within thirty feet of flying height, a big bright light was lit on the top of the opposite castle tower, and the searchlight hit him directly.

The magic power contained in the light made Qiao An feel as if his whole body was filled with lead. The four light membrane wings were unable to flap, and he fell down involuntarily!
