Chapter 62: Is Pre-Investigation Necessary?
"Granstone Castle, although it's not very far from our Pelican Town, it's not very close either."
Ai Luo weighed the gold coin in his hand and continued -
"After leaving the south of Pelican Town, you can see a very conspicuous castle standing on the large plain. It's about a distance...it takes about two or three hours to walk from the town.
Arrived."
The sword warrior took notes very seriously, while the gun warrior looked indifferent. He took the therapeutic aerosol and checked it over and over again, seeming to be very interested in the gas inside.
"The name of this ancient castle is Granite Castle. As far as I know, it was built at least five or six hundred years ago, right? That's probably the number. All in all, it's very old."
"So long ago, rich iron ore was discovered in the Changmian Mountains to the north of Pelican Town. With the development of these iron ores, Pelican Town and the three nearby towns of Honglu Town and Kingfisher Town developed one after another.
Get up and be prosperous for a while.”
"In order to better manage these three towns and better supervise the excavation of iron ore on the Evermian Mountains, the managers at the time built a tower on a higher and gentle hillside south of Pelican Town.
We set up a lookout and set up a camp to facilitate overall management."
"With the passage of time, generations of supervisory governors took turns to serve here, and with the construction of generations, this place that was originally just a lookout gradually became such a small castle. And then I don’t know where it started from.
Since when, this castle has been called Granite Castle. I guess this name comes from the meaning of 'post' and 'mine'."
"The overall granite castle is not particularly tall. After all, it is just a place where the inspector generals stay. But even so, it is about forty or fifty meters high by visual inspection. I heard that there are as many as twenty or thirty rooms inside, although it is not as high as
It is the imperial city of our Blue Bay Empire, but it is still a very magnificent building in a small border place like this."
"Then, as the times gradually changed, the iron ore in the Evermian Mountains was collected, and the three towns, including Pelican Town, gradually lost their prosperity and weakened. Because there was no longer any meaning to continue to supervise, this post
I don’t know when the stone castle began to be deserted, and it has silently endured the erosion of time in the long years. Now it is desolate, and even if it is not used as a hiding place for thieves, it will probably become a gathering place for wild beasts.
Bar."
The sword warrior carefully recorded it in his notebook. After waiting for a while, when he saw that Airl did not continue, he immediately raised his head and asked: "Is there anything else? What dangers may there be in this ancient castle? You guys
Are there any robbers around the town?"
Ai Luo glanced at his mouth and said: "I have never heard of any vicious robbery and theft incidents in our town. However, there may be bandits who insist on the principle of rabbits not eating grass from the nest and are not against those of us who are close at hand.
There might be a targeted attack on the town.”
Of course, Cocoa can't be considered a theft at all, right?
After recording this, the sword warrior nodded repeatedly and put away his notebook. The spear warrior over there saw that the sword warrior had finished recording, and then reached out to pull him.
The two people left the counter and walked to the corner. The gunman seemed a little impatient and said, "Why are you always so blotchy? Do you understand now?"
The sword warrior looked through his notes, nodded slightly, and said: "With a general understanding of the situation, we can now confirm that the Gangshi Fort has been abandoned for a long time, and the building structure inside may be a little unstable. Let's act
Be careful when doing so.”
Gunslinger: "Okay, okay, you still need to talk about this kind of thing?"
The sword warrior frowned: "Can't you just listen to what I have to say? I know you have always been the stronger one, but many times you act recklessly without confirming the mission entrustment. Sooner or later something will happen.
.When we do things, we must have a plan..."
The gun warrior waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I just can't get used to your irritating and cautious attitude. What's the use of being so cautious? You seemed to have been prepared several times before, and you wrote it all down.
It’s my third notebook, what’s the result? Several times, and in the end you’re still in danger, and you still have to rely on me to save you?”
The sword warrior seemed speechless. After all, these were facts and could not be refuted. After a pause, he shook his head, sighed, and continued: "Because the Gangshi Fort is in disrepair, there may be robbers inside."
Gathering point. So, we still have to be careful."
The gun warrior couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled out the spear behind him and played a trick in the air. He said disdainfully: "So what if there are robbers? This is not the first time we have dealt with robbers. According to the old rules, we use
Use the night vision potion, sneak it in in the middle of the night, and you'll be done in one night's work."
The sword warrior touched his tool pocket, and there was indeed the last bottle of night vision potion in it. Now that his companion had said so, he had nothing to refute, so he could only put away his notes and exhale: "In this case, then
Let’s go have lunch, then go back to the bar to sleep, and then we’ll start moving in the evening.”
The two soldiers finished their discussion and planned to leave. Seeing that they had no intention of coming to ask again, Airo thought for a moment and quickly called out to the two men: "Hey! Wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
The two warriors turned around, and Airlo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them stop, and said with a smile: "I just mentioned that there might be thieves, but compared to thieves, there are actually other issues that deserve more attention. That is the beast.
.”
The spear warrior thrust the spear in his hand into the floor: "What about the wild beasts? They can't just kill them all? And the wild beasts are easier to deal with than the robbers."
Ai Luo shook his head repeatedly and turned his eyes to the sword warrior who looked more reliable: "Considering that Gangshi Castle is located on a broad plain hillside, surrounded by grasslands and no forests, then I speculate that if there are
If it is a beast, then this beast must be a creature that likes darkness. Then, no matter how wide the inside of the granite castle is, it cannot be wider than the grassland outside. Therefore, the creatures inside must like narrow places.
Type. Based on the two characteristics of liking darkness and narrowness, it can be deduced that if there are monsters or beasts, or creatures with strong attack power, they must be very good at sneak attacks. So if you want to go at night, it is best
Be extra careful.”
The gun warrior looked very impatient. He kept waving his hands when Ai Luo was mid-sentence, looking like he had no patience at all.
After hearing these two sentences, the sword warrior immediately reached out to grab the notebook in his pocket, but before he could take it out, the gun warrior grabbed him and dragged him outside.
Ai Luo didn't know whether his instructions could be remembered by these two warriors...
Forget it, I'm just a temporary member of my guild anyway, as long as I can make money.
After putting the gold coin away, Ai Luo looked at the messy account books over there again. The joy he had just raised by making money was immediately washed away.
Sigh...what else can I say? Keep working!
