Chapter 557 Castle in the Clouds

boom!

boom!

boom!

Joan fired three times in a row, the black muzzle spewed bright lightning, and the three lead bullets whizzed out of the gun, hitting the face of the mythical griffin almost at the same time, blasting the monster's eyeballs and shattering the skull on the spot. A large piece was blown away by lead bullets.

The mythical griffin let out a mournful cry, and retreated with all its might, its head retracted from the crack in the door, and it staggered backwards dragging its bloody body.

Click!

Taking advantage of the moment when the mythical griffin shrank its head, Clark and Shrek finally closed the castle gate together.

Casio put down the bloody lute, freed his hand to perform a 1-ring "door sealing technique", and added a strong magic lock to the door to prevent it from being knocked open by monsters.

Looking at the exquisitely constructed revolver in his hand, Joan couldn't help but be amazed by the huge lethality that this small weapon could unleash in just a few seconds.

In the past, it was only used as a toy, and I occasionally fired two shots at the target for entertainment, wasting a lot of bullets, and now I regret it.

Joan opened the storage bag, took out the bullets and refilled the pistol magazine, and then counted them. There were less than twenty rounds of pistol special bullets seized from Henry Baldwin. It seems that they will be used sparingly in the future .

The gates of the castle are strong enough to resist the invasion of monsters.

At first, Joan was a little worried that the mythical griffin broke through the window, but he soon discovered that the seemingly fragile glass windows were reinforced by magic, and the mythical griffin and the mythical owl bear outside the window seemed to have feelings for the castle. Afraid, roared in vain for a while, and then dispersed.

Joan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then was he in the mood to appreciate the furnishings on the first floor of the castle.

The spacious hall reminded him of the most magnificent cathedral in Leiden Harbor. In comparison, the hall of the cloud giant castle was obviously more magnificent.

The walls and ceiling are made of milky white rocks, the floor is covered with soft and thick blue carpets, and a gorgeous crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling. "Eternal Flame" replaces candles, and the hall is brightly illuminated through the crystal clear lamp wall.

On the outside of the wall facing the door, there is a fireplace with both heating and decoration functions.

Next to the fireplace, there was a long dining table commensurate with the cloud giant's stature, covered with a clean white tablecloth, and dozens of sets of large tableware neatly placed on the table, shining charming silver light under the light.

Judging from the interior layout, the hall on the first floor of the castle seems to be a place dedicated to holding banquets. Unfortunately, the huge room is empty and the owner cannot be seen.

The carpets and tablecloths were spotless. At first glance, it seemed that there were servants cleaning them regularly, but after careful observation, Joan found that there was a magic barrier of automatic dust removal in the hall.

All signs indicate that no one has lived in the castle for a long time.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

The poet Casio raised his voice and shouted.

The echo echoed in the empty hall for a long time, but no one answered.

"This castle is spacious and beautiful. It's really a good place. If the owner doesn't mind, I'd be more than happy to stay here for a few more days." The poet said with admiration.

"The premise is that there is enough food in the castle, otherwise you will have to sneak into the garden to steal melons and fruits under the surveillance of a large group of owlbears and griffins, and then you have to risk being struck by lightning and flee back to the castle. It's not an enjoyable day."

Clarke poured a bucket of cold water on the poet with a wry smile.

Casio shrugged disappointedly, turned around and walked to the fireplace, suddenly let out a surprised "Huh", and turned around to call his companions to come over quickly.

"Come and see! This painting seems to be glowing!"

Joan walked quickly to the side of the poet, looking at the painting hanging above the fireplace. The picture scroll depicts a silver castle standing above the storm clouds. Presumably it is a sketch of the castle's distant view, and the picture has a faint magical aura.

Joan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to identify the spell configuration on the scroll.

Preliminary speculation, this is a high-level spell originating from the "Illusion School", the specific function is unknown.

In order to further verify his guess, Joan cast the "Hand of the Mage", remotely moved the palm shaped by magic power upwards, and touched the screen lightly.

Then, a miraculous scene appeared.

Just where the "mage's hand" touches, the picture shakes like water waves, showing a dense luminous text.

Joan recognized that it was written by the ancient giants, and quickly asked Clark to translate it.

"On the first floor of the castle, in the banquet hall, you can call the 'invisible servant' to serve you by reciting the password..." The frost giant looked down at the young mage with a confused face, "What password do you recite?"

"I don't know what the password is." Joan shook his head first, and then said, "But I'm sure that this painting is actually a navigation map of the castle's internal structure. As long as you touch a certain position on the picture, a message similar to that will appear. The corresponding introductory text here."

"Oh? Is it really so magical? Then try touching other floors!" Clark urged excitedly.

Joan remotely controlled the "Mage's Hand" to move on the screen, and a piece of luminous introductory text appeared one after another where it touched, and then a phantom of the building that was magnified several times rose, and in a very intuitive way, the various buildings inside the castle were displayed. Structure and function are presented in front of everyone.

According to the information provided by this "magic navigation map", Joan learned that the interior of the castle is divided into seven floors, with a total of more than 300 rooms, equipped with halls, guest rooms, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, servant rooms, guard rooms, Arcane and alchemy laboratories.

It should be noted that these facilities are very huge, tailored for the size and living habits of the cloud giant.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of a human teenager like Joan, the cloud giant's bathtub is equivalent to a wide swimming pool.

In addition to the main building of the castle, the navigation map also has a detailed introduction to the six "outposts" on the periphery of the castle.

Each sentry tower has supporting stables and corrals, which house a dozen "Mythical Griffins" and a dozen "Mythical Owlbears".

The domesticated "mythical griffin" can serve as a mount for the castle owner and his attendants, and the "mythical owl bear" is used as a hunting dog and a pet. When the owner is not at home, these intelligent mythical monsters will also shoulder the responsibility of guarding the castle. duty.

For this last point, you don’t need to read the introduction. Joan and the others have already experienced it personally.

Joan's intelligence attribute of 29 points is not a decoration. After browsing the magic navigation map, he kept all the facilities in the castle in mind.

Next, he activated the 2nd ring "item location technique" again, tried to detect the "Kostchurch Collar", and confirmed that the collar was stored on the seventh floor of this building - judging from the "magic navigation map", it was located in the castle. The pointed silver attic at the top.
