Main Text Volume Chapter 392 Entering the Black Castle
After a while, Angel left the cave.
He didn't get much valuable information from Huahua. She had forgotten a lot of things. As for her memories before her death, she only remembered that she had a brother. And the place where she lived was very cold.
Other than that, all other memories had disappeared, including why she appeared in the inner world and why she died here. She didn't know anything.
Whether she really forgot or didn't want to remember, he didn't intend to pursue it.
However, in addition to the cold place, Angel was not completely without news. At least the bird with peacock feathers was a clue. This kind of bird should be a unique species in the area. He had never seen a bird with similar feathers before. Perhaps he could infer the place where Huahua used to live from the appearance of the bird.
Pushing open the gate of the cemetery, Angel walked out.
The long winding road led directly to the towering castle on the top of the mountain in the distance. On both sides of the road were shadowy forests, and from time to time, weeping could be heard.
On the ground with blood and moisture, there were rows of shallow footprints extending all the way to the end. If nothing unexpected happens, this is Shadow's footprint. His choice is the same as Angel's, and they both take this shortest road.
Walking along the road, the closer to the top of the mountain, the more oppressive he feels. The sky is covered with dark and gray clouds, and the lightning snake hides in it, revealing a huge white head from time to time, which looks like a dull sign before the storm.
The more Angel walked, the more uneasy he felt.
The dark castle under the lightning and thunder seemed to be transformed into a brutal demon holding a trident, staring at him, a lone traveler, with greedy and bloodthirsty eyes, sharpening his knife.
His heartbeat was already accelerated, and with the increasingly dense crying in the woods on both sides, Angel's pressure was even greater.
He was so bored that he even wanted to rush into the forest to fight those undeads head-on.
When he arrived at the iron fence outside the castle, his uneasiness reached its peak. Although there seemed to be nothing unusual in the iron fence, this kind of windless and waveless calm made him even more uncomfortable.
Angel even had the urge to turn around and run away.
But just as he turned his head, his heart skipped a beat. The road he had walked on was already filled with undead. At a glance, the number of undead was more than a few hundred thousand, and the final number was definitely tens of thousands!
The undead were all ruthless. Even if they didn't find Angell, the resentment that surged to the sky made Angell shudder.
Click--
Suddenly, there was a sound of metal collision behind him.
Angell felt a chill on his back and turned his head slowly. The big lock of the iron gate outside the castle was unlocked by someone and fell to the ground.
Was he discovered by the people of the Black Castle?
Angell took a tentative step back, and as a result, a gust of gloomy wind with resentment came, and the undead began to gather in front of the Black Castle.
At the same time, the iron gate of the castle opened automatically without wind, and with a "swoosh", it opened wide.
He was discovered, no doubt.
Angell didn't understand how he was discovered. It took Lord Tree Spirit a lot of effort to find him who opened the boundless silence... Could it be that there is also a great existence like Lord Tree Spirit in the Black Castle who can see the sky and the earth?
I can't figure it out, so I just don't think about it. Since I've been discovered, I'll just follow the master's wishes and go in.
When he made this decision, Angell's originally uneasy heart suddenly settled down inexplicably. Since a cautious person like Shadow dared to do something like breaking into the Black Castle alone, most of what he said must be true.
Now, he can only believe Shadow's judgment. People above the wizard level in the Black Castle will not do it.
Thinking of this, Angell stepped into the iron chain gate. After entering the iron gate, there is a path of about ten meters, connecting to the main hall gate of the castle.
Angell's eyes patrolled the ground, trying to see if there were any footprints of Shadow.
Soon, he saw a row of familiar footprints on the right side of the path. The direction of the footprints is unknown, but it is definitely not the main hall gate.
Angel thought about it, deviated from the right path, and decided to follow the shadow footprints to see.
When passing the shade of a big tree, Angel lifted the boundless silence, a model flashed in his mind, and the nightmare air filled it, and another "Angel" just separated from him.
When the "illusion Angel" appeared, Angel once again opened the boundless silence.
Using the illusion of Angel as bait, he hid behind the illusion. He didn't know whether the effect of "boundless silence" was discovered, but he always felt that it shouldn't be discovered. As far as he knew, the ruler of the Black Castle was Isabella, who was just an ordinary second-level wizard and had not yet embarked on the path of true knowledge. With Isabella's ability, it shouldn't be possible to see through the boundless silence from a distance.
He could only guess that perhaps some details made him reveal his feet and was captured by someone. Well, if his guess is right, then he can use the illusion bait to attract people's attention, and he can re-enter the boundless silence, which should be able to achieve a certain degree of concealment.
"Illusion Angel" made an expression of "I've been discovered anyway, so I won't hide my body", lifted the boundless silence, and then observed the shadow footprints openly, and walked towards the other side of the Black Castle.
Angel has been hiding behind the illusion. Even if there is a great existence like the tree spirit who "sees the sky and the earth", even if he finds him, it is estimated that the positioning will be wrong because he overlaps with the illusion.
A slight error can lead to a thousand miles of error. As long as there is this little error, his maneuverability will be much greater.
Following the footprints, Angel came to the side of the Black Castle.
Speaking of which, since he entered the Black Castle, the depressing atmosphere still existed, but the psychological pressure seemed to be much less. Angel didn't know why, maybe because there were no undead sobbing beside him?
At the end of the footprints, there was a drainpipe from top to bottom. Angel looked up and found that above the drainpipe, about the third floor, a window near it seemed to be open, and the golden curtains were blown by the wind, making a loud sound.
The footprints disappeared here. Did the shadow climb up the drainpipe?
But generally speaking, the places where wizards live, bricks, tiles, and earth, all have defensive effects. It is impossible for people to line up on the third floor so easily?
Angel tried to let the illusion touch the wall lightly.
The weak magic power was fed back.
There was a reaction of the magic array inside the wall, but the effect of the magic array was very weak, with only a little magic remaining. It seems that the magic array was closed artificially?
Angel still remembered Shadow saying that his coming to the Black Castle to steal things was actually a test agreed upon by his mentor and Isabella. All the wizard-level mechanisms in the Black Castle were closed, and the available wizard-level power would be hidden, leaving only a few apprentices as obstacles for his test.
According to this statement, it makes sense that the magic array in the wall was closed.
However, just in case, Angel decided to let the illusion climb up the pipe first. When the illusion slowly climbed to the third floor near the window, Angel followed it.
Looking at the third-floor corridor with the window open, Angel vaguely sensed a trace of energy fluctuations.
It seemed that there was a creature hiding by the window, but he could detect it, either because his level was too low or he deliberately showed weakness. In either case, he had to deal with it carefully.
Using illusions to open the way is the best choice.
Sanders's nightmare illusion lineage, as long as he integrates into the nightmare realm, the foundation of illusion will undergo earth-shaking changes. For example, the beautiful fantasy that Angell weaved for Huahua could even make her feel that everything was real, the wind outside the window, the doll in her arms, the interesting fairy tale book... Even if she was just a soul, she could feel the message that Angell wanted to give.
This is like the online games and novels that Angell saw on the holographic tablet. In the holographic simulated world, everything you see and feel seems real. However, the holographic simulation in the novel can even stimulate all senses, such as taste and smell, and even more so, the fishing and water pleasures in the brothels can be completely simulated. Angell has not yet reached that level, at most he can only make people feel the touch.
However, he is not going to create a virtual world. It is no problem to rely on his illusion to make it look real and use it to explore the way.
"Illusion Angel" leaped into the window. The moment he came in, a woman covered in blood suddenly came out from the side, took out a machete, and chopped it down at "Illusion Angel". Obviously, she was ready to cut him in half.
"Illusion Angel" suddenly smiled at the woman, and when the other party was stunned, his figure suddenly disappeared from the blade and appeared at the other end of the corridor.
"Why so fast? Is it magic or body movement?" The woman looked at the illusion Angel standing at the other end in surprise. She picked up the machete and screamed, and rushed over.
Illusion Angel flashed again, disappeared from the spot, and then appeared behind the woman.
At this moment, Angel himself jumped into the window, merged with "Illusion Angel", and hit the back of the woman's neck with a magical hand knife.
The woman screamed and fell to the ground.
After solving the woman, Angel's real body slowly withdrew from the illusion and hid in the darkness of the corridor.
The illusion walked in front of the woman and observed this strange woman.
I didn't notice it before in the battle, but now Angel discovered that this woman was naked? And her body was covered with blood.
Could this woman be related to the naked undead outside?
Angel frowned. If it was really related to the undead outside, then this woman might also be a victim.
Thinking of this, Angel checked the woman's injuries.
But when Angel checked every inch of her skin, even the unspeakable parts, except for the blood clot on the back of her neck, she didn't find any external injuries!
Could it be that the blood all over her body was not hers?
