Chapter 46 Simple Games
"Is this Beckford's trump card?"
Ethan could only laugh without saying a word. This might be a big trouble for Brent and the others, but it was really a joke for Ethan and others. None of them relied on magic stone technology - Ethan's family was hit on the Goddess of Dawn, and he had no magic stone equipment at all.
Moreover, as his strength improved, he gradually got rid of the embarrassing situation of using magic purely by props. Even if the magic props he brought could not be used, he was not without the ability to deal with it, not to mention that this strange blocking effect had no effect on his magic.
This makes the situation more interesting.
Perhaps in Beckford's plan, if you lose the help of Magic Stone equipment, these adventurers will definitely fall into trouble when facing various monsters in the castle.
But Ethan and his group are an alternative group, which leads to this group of people still rushing around in the castle. Even if a slightly stronger monster occasionally jumps out, it is just a magic bullet.
"This game seems to be a little interesting."
“What a childish game.”
Loki said that this kind of game of wandering around and finding the "companion" who was locked up is not fun at all. Even if he eliminates all kinds of monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, he can show his strength in different ways, but he still doesn't find it interesting.
"I think it's quite fun."
The happiest thing was Laura, the child. She thought this was a live-action adventure action game. She even changed her tricks to ask for various weapons from Logan and then played them one by one.
It was obviously a tough battle, but I don’t know when it suddenly turned into a game.
Since the monsters cannot create any threat, no matter how big the castle is, it cannot prevent this group of people from rescuing their "companions" hidden in every corner.
The team became larger and larger, but after realizing the status quo, no idiot jumped out to cause trouble for Ethan and the others.
Not only did the rescued adventurers no longer cause trouble, but even Brent and Brad didn't speak out much, quietly watching Ethan and others' performances.
"How many people have been rescued?"
Laura kept counting silently, because she was the most dedicated to playing, and immediately gave an accurate number: "Seventy-one."
"It's only seventy-one?"
Ethan felt that he was about to transfer the castle. Although the castle was not small, it would not take much time to transfer it quickly.
"We've walked all the rooms together, right? We've only rescued more than half of the people, which proves that there are still many people hiding in more secret places."
What kind of dungeons and secret rooms are not surprising for castles like this, but what is the point? Is it just to increase the difficulty of the game?
"No, it's all about keeping us in the castle for a longer time."
Returning to the place where the gate is again, it is relatively spacious and everyone can gather. Ethan directly asked Serena to inspect everyone.
"What's wrong?"
"I think something is wrong."
Things will definitely not be that simple. Ethan felt that Beckford must have a backup plan. He not only asked Serena to check everyone, but also personally check everyone's situation.
“Sure enough, there is a problem.”
This examination revealed that a "seed" was planted on these "captives". This seed is very inconspicuous and is usually hidden inside the body and will not have any impact on people.
However, the seed contains a rich energy of death, and the intensity is enough to turn a person into a powerful undead creature in an instant.
This thing is very troublesome, but after it is started, although I don’t know what conditions this thing will be launched; it may also be activated by Beckford remotely; but as long as it does not explode, it will not be difficult for Ethan.
One by one, Serena was not very good at the Holy Light Spell, which Serena had become much more proficient in her training.
Everyone present was chilling when they watched Ethan 'sucking out one energy ball after another emitting a strong breath of death on them. Even if they didn't know what this was, they could realize that this was definitely not a good thing.
After cleaning out the seeds from the last human body, Ethan also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he checked Brent and others, and the result was very bad.
“The situation is not very good.”
Bren nodded, and he also realized that although Ethan had not sucked out any energy balls from his body just now, the trace of things that looked like black smoke did not look like something good.
"In this castle...even the air we breathe contains powerful death energy. The longer we stay, the more this energy will accumulate in our bodies. I just don't know what special method was used to make us unable to realize this."
The seeds in the human body were not specially placed in it, but were formed by the time they stayed in the castle for a long enough time and the accumulated death energy slowly condensed.
"The most troublesome thing is that even if we know this, there is no good way to prevent it."
Ethan herself didn't need to worry; Serena didn't need it either, and this negative energy was actually beneficial to her.
Loki? This negative energy cannot hurt him as the Asgardian tribe; Logan and Laura don’t need him to worry. Maybe they will encounter some trouble before, but after getting in touch with the teachings of druids and learning some druid knowledge, even if they have not become real druids, it is not difficult to prevent such a little negative energy.
What will be really affected is people other than Ethan and others, especially with such a large group, which is like a group of bombs that can be detonated at any time.
"They can't stay."
Brent also realized this. Not only these people cannot stay, but he himself and Brad are not suitable to stay.
“While dispersal is a bad choice, now we have to separate.”
"But even if you take everyone away, and there are still nearly half of the people who have not been rescued, what should those people do?"
Ethan shook his head: "I didn't ask you to leave directly. You should take this group of people out of the castle first and wait outside to meet the people rescued from behind."
At present, this is the most appropriate method. I just don’t know how much time Ethan will take to find everyone. It seems that this is not an easy thing.
“It’s not difficult actually.”
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to demolish this castle layer by layer."
No matter how secretly Beckford hid people or how many mechanisms he had, Ethan had to play the game according to the routine he designed. He couldn't figure out Beckford's plan before, and Ethan had no action yet. Now that he found that he could no longer waste time, he was too lazy to continue playing according to the other party's rules and directly chose the way he was used to to solve the problem.
That is his most common brute-force cracking method.
Starting from the top floor, one room after another is removed. No matter how secret your mechanism is, I will just tear down the walls without cracking them. Can you still hide them?
He used a magic bombardment to blow the wall away so that Brent and others could walk out of the castle. Then Ethan began this unreasonable "game method" that seemed to have a cheater. The remaining people were soon found by Ethan.
Every time one is found, Ethan will check it once, preventing these people from becoming completely undead after being locked up for too long.
"You're like cheating when playing games."
Laura despises Ethan's "playing method". It's too technical. However, Ethan doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. It's better to simply solve the problem. What should I do if I make it so complicated?
What's more, it's their enemies who want to play the game, and making the enemies unhappy is the right choice.
It didn't take too long that Ethan demolished the castle, and the people rescued would leave the castle and meet Brent who was guarding outside.
After a while, it was no longer a difference if it was not in the castle. The entire castle had been completely destroyed and turned into a ruined ruin. You can see what Ethan is doing when standing in the distance.
Brent counted the number of people and found that only one person was left but not found yet. This person was more familiar to him, which was Bruno, who had agreed to join this expedition very early.
"There is still a demon heart that has not been found."
If there is no on the ground, it must be underground. If Beckford did not lie to them, more importantly, Ethan demolished the entire castle, but as long as he stood in this area, the magic stone equipment would still not be used. Then, including this technology or equipment that could ban magic stone equipment, it must be underground.
"How to find it?"
Ethan looked at Rocky, and the Asgard prince immediately understood what Ethan meant.
"I just recovered a little, can't you think of some other way?"
"You just need to use that scepter, not the power of the Frost Box, which is not stressful for you."
"I just found a reason, but I just didn't want to help."
Although he said that, Loki still took out the scepter in his hand, but just as he was about to launch an attack, the only Captain Bruno who had not been found actually appeared himself.
"Captain Bruno?"
Ethan did not meet him, but was on guard. This guy appeared a bit strange, and the equipment he was wearing was clearly a battle suit that only had in the Sea of Miracle.
After Bruno spoke, Ethan knew that the person in front of him was not his companion whom he needed to save.
