Chapter 45 I want to play a game
Bakerford spread his hands slightly, and more figures appeared above his figure one after another. However, compared to Bakerford's illusion that was like a real person, the obvious manifestation of this time was a projection.
The dense figures kept switching in the air above Beckford, and for Brent, who had recruited adventurers to come here, he could recognize most of them.
“It’s awful situation.”
When Brent identified these people, Ethan noticed another point.
"These people don't seem to be locked up together, they seem to be locked up in completely different places."
Beckford withdrew his spreading hands, and the illusions above him disappeared immediately. Then he personally confirmed that Ethan's speculation was correct: "They were all locked in various places in the castle. If you attack any place in the castle, you may cause innocent casualties."
Ethan curled his lips, and he knew that Beckford was making such a plan. It was obvious that this guy just didn't want Ethan to destroy the castle in one shot, but let them in.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Beckford suddenly smiled. From the time he appeared, he had an expression on his face for the first time. It was a very kind smile, but everyone felt cold all over when they saw this smile.
"I want to play a game."
“…”
Ethan was suddenly speechless. This line was so bad that he didn't want to answer.
But Ethan is not just standing here, and it is not Ethan who really focuses on the lives of those adventurers, but Brent who brings everyone here.
He felt that he had brought everyone here, so he had the obligation and responsibility to bring everyone back safely.
“What game.”
"The game is very simple. If you save everyone and find the demonic heart of this island, then you will win."
Beckford didn't say how to count him as he won, because that was obvious.
Everyone didn't ask about the fate of failure. Brent and Brad already knew what Beckford had done in private. If they failed, they would fall into that castle, and their final fate would be nothing more than becoming an undead creature or death.
Considering that he will be controlled and enslaved by Beckford as a deceased creature, perhaps it is a better end to die directly.
"Why do you want to make this kind of game like this?"
Ethan was curious why Beckford did this and suddenly played what game?
If Beckford felt that he was a threat to others, why didn't he show up and wipe them out directly? Could it be that he was not on this island?
"Because I want to do that." Beckford nodded at Ethan: "That's all."
After saying this, Beckford's illusion disappeared directly. He had expressed his attitude: come and play this game. If you win, the locked adventurer can be rescued, and the demonic heart of the island will be found. No matter what means you use to deal with it or directly destroy it, this "huge island" that blocks the entire route will disappear, and the route will return to normal.
If you fail... everyone doesn't have to consider those things, everyone knows the consequences of failure.
"I'll go in."
Brent was the first to make a statement.
"I go in alone, and it's my responsibility to rescue them all. But I can't ask you to enter with me into such dangerous places."
Ethan wanted to say that Brent, what you said made sense, but the problem now is that you don’t go in. Is Beckford really just letting everyone go? He expressed serious doubts about this.
"Do you want to disperse us?"
It’s not that there is no possibility. It is always difficult to deal with when the power is concentrated together than if it is dispersed. Moreover, Ethan cannot just let Brent go in alone.
If Brent is lost in the castle, Bakerford will throw it out again and ask him if he can save it? What should he do? Should he give up here and go back directly?
Although Ethan felt that his moral standards were not very high, he could not do such a thing.
"Although I know this is a trap, I won't let you go in alone." Ethan looked at Brent and Brad: "Only everyone can get together can they play their maximum combat power. Even if they really encounter a trap, I believe our ability is enough to solve it."
But if it is spread out...
Everyone understands the truth, but many people will not make such a choice when facing danger.
Ethan is different because he has enough cards and a way out, and it’s nothing to do when he tries together.
"Since he wants to play games, let's play with him once."
Brad might have some questions, but when Ethan and Brent were determined to enter the castle, he seemed to have no room for objection.
He looked at Liz next to him, and Brad could see Liz wink at him very clearly, but Brad hesitated and decided to act with everyone.
As Ethan said, what if the other party deliberately wanted them to disperse? After Ethan and Brent entered the castle, only Liz was left here, and he didn't think it would be safer to stay outside the castle.
"Let's go, let's see what's special about this castle. The madman seemed to think that as long as we enter the castle, he would win."
Everyone started moving forward again, this time everyone seemed very cautious and had already taken out the weapons.
Logan was still at the forefront, and even slightly distanced himself from everyone, just to give everyone time to react when they discovered the situation.
But I walked all the way to the castle wall and stood in front of the open door without any trouble.
In addition, some raindrops drifted from the clouds in the sky, and this place was like a dilapidated castle in an ordinary desolate island.
"If there weren't those wandering undead creatures, this castle was actually pretty good."
After living on the boat for a long time, Ethan really wanted a "home" on land. He had considered many options in his spare time, and the castle was naturally one of them.
But let's forget about this in front of me. Looking at the zombies that had noticed me and began to approach everyone, Ethan didn't want the traces of this kind of thing to exist everywhere in the place where he lived.
"Cleaning out these zombies first."
Under normal circumstances, it is definitely necessary to quickly break through the zombie blockade and then directly enter the inside of the castle. Anyway, once the gate is closed, these things cannot enter. From their actions, it can be judged that these low-level undead creatures do not have wisdom and naturally cannot know how to open the door.
But Ethan considers that these things are wandering outside, it is likely that the door will be blocked. They are here to save people, and it will be embarrassing to find a group of people who want to come out.
Habits to clear out possible threats in advance, even if it seems like a waste of time, Ethan doesn't care.
"We also need to consider that there are many people we want to save this time, and maybe there are some who are unwilling to act with us and want to leave and return to the beach. We can't try to rescue the people. As soon as we go out, we are sneak attacked and killed by zombies blocking the door.
When everyone thought of the scene, it was so speechless. It would be better to clean it up, as it would not take much effort anyway.
After ensuring that the vestibule was safe, everyone pushed open the gate of the castle and entered the castle one after another.
Just as George finally walked into the castle at the end, the open door was closed instantly. When George turned around and tried to open the door, he found that the door was closed tightly, just like the wall.
"Not surprising at all."
Only Ethan never looked back from beginning to end, and he was not surprised that this happened at all. He was now looking at the structure of the castle.
There is no complex structure in front of me. I see a staircase. There is a platform upwards, and then extends diagonally upwards to both sides. As for what the end of the staircase looks like, I can't see it when I stand here.
Where he is standing now, there are several doors on both sides, and it is not clear what is happening behind these doors.
"This castle is very big, and it is probably not an easy task to find adventurers scattered all over the castle."
"This is nothing." Brad, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted Brent and Ethan: "I tried it just now and found that the effect of the combat suit has dropped a lot, and the magic stone weapon cannot exert its due abilities."
To prove his words, Brad deliberately waved his sword: "My sword will produce a very sharp transparent blade when it slashes, which will make my attack range much longer, but now it is no different from an ordinary sword."
When Brent heard this, he immediately drew out his big sword and waved it hard - the dazzling fire that appeared in the previous battle did not appear at all.
"What's going on?"
Brent had never encountered such a situation, and had never heard of it. He could only focus his attention on Bled, hoping that this adventurer from the Sea of Miracle could answer his questions.
"I'm not very clear, but I've heard some rumors that there are indeed islands on the Sea of Miracle that can invalidate the magic stone equipment, but I've never encountered it... Maybe Beckford figured out and mastered the secrets and used them to deal with us?"
The magic stone equipment was limited, and the combat power of several people was almost cut to the bottom. At this time, they were still in the "well-prepared" castle in Beckford. No matter how you look at it, they were in big trouble.
In this case, Brent found that Ethan and his partners were calm, as if he was not concerned about the situation.
