Chapter 1149 New Uses of Canoes
Zhang Tuohai found that the leading player was walking freely in the old city without any hesitation in the spider-web maze-like streets. He seemed to be very familiar with the place . He guessed that this player was definitely not reckless and must be very confident. He became more and more looking forward to the other party's goal.
Something that can make a player invest so much effort to get it must be not simple.
Zhang Tuohai became more cautious and followed carefully behind.
Yin Lishabeth was already interested in the adventures, treasure hunts, and mysteries that the bards talked about, so she naturally would not miss them now, and followed Zhang Tuohai with excitement.
The group walked through the streets and alleys, passed through numerous thatched houses, and arrived at the deepest part of the old city.
There is a castle here.
The castle was built with giant black stone slabs and was very solid. At the main entrance was a huge steel fence gate. The fence was made of steel bars as thick as arms and was extremely hard. Although it was rusted, it could not be broken by human power.
The area around the castle was overgrown with weeds and looked lifeless.
"There is actually a castle here?" A player looked at the desolate and tall castle curiously. The black castle was very oppressive, making people feel uncomfortable involuntarily.
"This is the core building when Red Maple City was first established. The Targaryen family's defenders lived here. This was the center of Red Maple City back then." The leading player said with a smile.
"Then why is it abandoned? It looks very sturdy. If they live here instead of the Governor's Mansion, it will not be so easy for us to break in." asked a player.
"Need I ask? It must be because of the poor lighting. This kind of castle looks solid and majestic, but in order to facilitate defense, the windows are long and thin, and the lighting is very poor. Moreover, for fire prevention, there is a lack of soft furnishings such as wooden boards and carpets. It is cold and damp, and it breeds mosquitoes and rats. How can it be as comfortable to live in as the Governor's Mansion with bright and clean windows? If I were the manager of this place, I would definitely live in the Governor's Mansion." said a player.
"That's just one reason." The leading player took over the conversation.
"In addition to environmental factors, there is another important reason, which is that this castle is haunted."
"Haunted?" The players behind him were stunned. They never expected this to be the reason.
"Impossible? This is a supernatural world. Even if it is haunted, they can just find someone to get rid of it. Why would they just abandon this castle?"
The other players were a little unconvinced.
"Haha, do you think I don't have such doubts? I specially found the old maid of this castle. She told me personally that the Targaryen family's defender here was very cruel and had some special hobbies. His biggest hobby was to lock people in the cells in the basement of the castle and torture them. Every day, corpses were taken out of the dungeon and transported to the woods to be sold."
"I don't know if it's because too many people died, causing the ghosts of the wronged to linger in the castle. The screams of the wronged can be heard all night long in the castle."
"The guard at the time executed several servants who had discussed the matter privately, then personally led people into the dungeon, and never came out again."
"Later, when the new defender arrived, he dismissed the servants, abandoned the castle, and rebuilt the Governor's Mansion in the new city area. This area gradually became deserted and turned into a slum."
The player said.
After hearing what the player said, a group of players became excited. What does it mean that there are ghosts in the extraordinary world? It means that this is a copy.
What is the copy for?
Produce equipment!
"Boss, that's a ghost. Can we deal with it?" asked a player.
"Don't worry, I've prepared it a long time ago. I found a holy water that a court scholar wanted, which is specially used to exorcise evil spirits. There will be no problem."
The player said as he pulled out a bottle from his pocket, which was full of golden liquid.
Seeing the props that had been prepared long ago, the players became excited and immediately eager to try them out.
"The city gates are locked and the walls are so high, how can we get through?" asked a player.
"Don't worry, I've checked it out. There's a drainage channel nearby. We can get in by following the drainage channel."
That player led the other players around the city for half a circle, and then found a sewer that was full of sewage and unknown objects. There were dead rats floating on the sewer, and the water was black.
This sewer runs from the outside of the castle passage and was originally used for drainage, but now it has been blocked due to lack of drainage.
The gutter leading to the castle was originally equipped with iron bars, but they had rusted . The player found a pair of pliers and clamped the wire mesh open with force.
"Come in with me."
The player called on everyone to walk into the gutter.
As soon as a player stepped one foot into the gutter, he let out a scream. When he pulled his foot out, he found it was covered with leeches.
Each of those leeches was as big as a thumb, attached to the legs and constantly wriggling.
There were so many leeches that they almost covered the opponent's entire leg.
"Why are there so many leeches? There weren't any when I came last time. Come quickly and help treat them."
The player called out to the other players and said.
A group of people gathered around and started to provide treatment.
"How terrible! Do we have to go through that ditch too?"
Yin Lishabai looked at the densely packed leeches and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
"Of course not, let's go in another direction."
Zhang Tuohai thought about it and took Yin Lishabe to the other side of the castle.
The terrain here is slightly higher, but there are no gaps in the city wall.
"Should we climb the wall? It seems very high, can we climb it?"
Yin Lisa Bai asked as she looked at the huge city wall.
"Don't worry, we have a ladder."
Zhang Tuohai said as he summoned a huge canoe.
He did not intend to use the canoe to hit the solid city wall, but instead placed the canoe on the wall.
There are diagonal lines inside the canoe, which were originally intended to prevent slipping, but now Zhang Tuohai uses it as a ladder.
"Is this possible?" Yin Lishabai looked at the canoe on the city wall with a shocked expression.
"As long as our thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems. Let's go, there are still many places waiting for us to explore." Zhang Tuohai said as he climbed up first.
Yin Lishabai looked around to make sure there was no one there and followed Zhang Tuohai to climb up.
The two men climbed up the city wall effortlessly.
Before leaving, Zhang Tuohai canceled the summons to prevent others from discovering the clues.
