When they crossed the plain, they saw a dark chasm like a natural chasm, spreading from the far end to the unknown depths of darkness. It was like a line that could cut the twilight, dividing the earth into two halves.
Angel looked at this bottomless dark pit, doubts flashing in his eyes.
The three worlds in the fairy tale world, the surface, the middle, and the inner world, actually have the same landform. He clearly remembers that there should be a continuous basin at this location in the surface world. Why is there such a deep pit in the inner world?
"This is the pit where the Sunbird fell." Sanders explained the reason to Angel: "It is said that it was caused by a legendary wizard when the worlds merged."
The so-called sunbird is actually the ancestral existence of the flaming bird.
Angel once saw overwhelming flaming birds in the middle world. The number was astonishing. Each flaming bird was a half-step wizard-level monster. When they flew in like a cloud of fire, even if
Even wizards will deliberately give way.
However, the flaming birds can only live in the middle world, because the concentration of magic power there allows them to reproduce and create them. The sunbirds, on the other hand, can only live in the inner world, just like the Mountain Giants.
"Whether the Sunbird is too powerful, or it simply covets the Sunbird's body, in the end, it was killed by a legendary wizard. This pit was left from that time." Sanders
After a pause, he pointed to the deep pit: "However, because this deep pit is close to Castle Black, it was later used by Castle Black."
Exploit? Angel looked at Sanders in confusion.
Sanders looked into the dark and deep pit and said calmly: "Have you not been to Castle Black before? What was the most common thing you saw near Castle Black at that time?"
Angel recalled for a moment and replied with a firm tone: "Undead."
Sanders: "If there are undead, there must be corpses. How many corpses have you seen in Castle Black?"
As for corpses, Angel did see a lot of them in Castle Black, and there were even several mass graves, including the ones found in the cemetery.
However, compared with the total amount of undead, the total amount of these corpses is really far behind.
You know, the reason why Angel was able to almost refine the mysterious thing in Castle Black was because there were endless undead there, and the right time and place were all available, which allowed the alchemy to take shape.
With so many undead, there must be corresponding corpses. Although there are dense piles of corpses near Castle Black, they are indeed not proportional to the number of undead.
Angel frowned: "Instructor, you mean that this deep pit is full of corpses?"
Sanders nodded: "Yes, although the skeleton of the sunbird is no longer there, its remaining flames have not dissipated. Therefore, Castle Black originally used this place to dispose of those corpses."
"And there are pipelines below that lead directly to the interior of Castle Black. These pipelines are used to transport corpses. More than six hundred years ago, a transcendent man sneaked into Castle Black through the pipelines below in order to find his missing lover... As a result
Regardless, the fact that there is a corpse below confirms it."
"However, later, there were too many corpses, which suppressed the sunbird's flame breath, and it became what it is now."
After a pause, Sanders glanced at the pit with a suspicious look: "Speaking of which, it's a bit strange that there are usually undead wandering around here, but why are they gone now?"
Looking around, it was pitch black and there was indeed no smell of the undead.
"Could it be that the people from Castle Black dealt with it?" Angel said, "After all, now that the King of Dusk has returned, there should be some differences between her and Isabella, right?"
Angel had come into contact with Isabel. Although she was a soul-based witch, her personality was completely different from Isabelle. At least Angel did not see in Isabel the "unprovoked killing" and "pure girlishness" in Isabel.
Blood bath” situation.
"Maybe." Sanders mused: "After all, Isabel was a person from a thousand years ago, and the relevant records do show that she was not a murderous person. Later, the reason why Castle Black became eerie and strange
, the undead are everywhere, but it was Isabella who caused it."
"Let's go. After passing this pit, we will basically reach the range of Castle Black."
The pit was very deep, but its width was actually only about a few hundred meters. They quickly flew over it. When they flew over the pit, Angel could clearly feel that a substance that was as dense as a substance rose from below.
It's gloomy and deathly, and you can also smell a lot of rotten stench.
If it were a supernatural person with a slightly lower strength, he would probably be affected by this strong death aura and have hallucinations. If there were undead peeping around, the end would definitely be tragic.
Just from these death auras, you can see how much evil Castle Black has done.
Angel's expression was very dark. As he passed the deep pit, it seemed as if there were countless people crying in his ears, whispering about his innocence, resentment, hatred and madness.
Although I was shocked once when I came back to Castle Black, I still feel a little bit overwhelmed when I feel it again.
He knew that killings often occurred in the wizarding world, but to attack ordinary people and cause such a large number of killings, Castle Black had probably done so openly. This kind of behavior would be despised by other wizards.
It's nothing more than that before Isabel returned, the situation of Castle Black was very bad. Isabella even wanted to win over Bogura, hoping to become a partner with Bogura to save Castle Black, which was in danger at the time.
…
After passing the sunbird's pit, they came to a bush.
However, most of the trees here are dead wood, pitch black, with neither leaves nor life. When swaying in the wind, they look like terrifying monsters, waving their strangely grown branches at you.
Walking in this environment, a depressing atmosphere followed.
Moreover, a large number of black clouds gathered in the sky at this time, and there was a loud bang, thunder came first, and white lightning followed.
In such a familiar environment, Angel already understood that they had entered the confines of Castle Black without Sanders having to say anything.
After all, they entered other people's range. They did not continue flying, but landed and slowly walked towards the depths of the bushes.
"It's a bit strange. It stands to reason that we have entered the security area of Castle Black and will be detected by the people of Castle Black immediately. However, I didn't feel any eyes on me." Sanders frowned.
When they arrived, they did not cover their tracks deliberately. According to common sense, they should be discovered.
But now, nothing seems to be happening?
Angel also felt a little strange and said softly: "It seems a little too quiet here."
Sanders understood what Angel was talking about. There were a large number of undead near Castle Black. These undead were scattered around when there were no living people alive. The undead would not be quiet all the time. They would either weep or whisper.
, but now they have been walking in the bush for several minutes, but there is no sound of the dead, only the roar of thunder in the sky, and the rustling sound when they step on dead branches.
"Could the situation here be related to the incident at Castle Black?" Angel asked.
It was precisely because of unknown changes in Castle Black that the station in Sky Mechanical City was unable to contact the headquarters, so they came directly without saying hello in advance.
However, they actually don’t know what the so-called accident is.
'Mechanical Beast King' Rosen seemed to know something, because Sanders once learned a piece of news from him, and Isabel contacted him a month ago. However, Rosen did not reveal the true situation.
Therefore, only when they come to Castle Black in person will they know the truth.
Sanders pondered: "It's hard to say. It's also possible that, as you guessed before, it was Isabel who cleaned up these undead."
Sanders said this, but there was a question in his mind: Even if he cleans up the undead, he won't clean it up so thoroughly, right?
They kept walking forward.
They walked for about half an hour and climbed several mountains. Along the way, they saw many bones and highly decomposed corpses, but they still did not see any undead.
Now, they are parked in a cemetery.
"This place is not far from Castle Black, but we still haven't sensed anyone from Castle Black." Sanders paused and said, "Something is indeed wrong. Let's stop for a while and let me sense the current situation in Castle Black."
After Sanders said that, he began to sense the situation in this area directly through the spread of mental power.
He was actually able to sense them very early on, but because he was within the range of others, he restrained himself. However, no one in Castle Black has detected them yet, which shows that there is definitely some kind of problem.
While Sanders was sensing the situation, Angel put his mental power into his bracelet.
At this time, Bobota, who was in the bracelet, was facing a mirror, arranging her clothes.
After looking back and forth several times, Popota finally became frustrated and touched his ugly face with a sad look in his eyes.
"If you feel dissatisfied, I can cast a transformation spell on you."
Angel's voice reached Bobota's ears. His body froze, and his originally smooth movements suddenly became a little sluggish, like a puppet, pulling one action at a time, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Angel, you, you... why are you here suddenly?" After Bobota finished speaking, he remembered that he was in the other person's bracelet. It was a bit strange to ask such a question. He coughed to hide his guilt, and then
Said: "I mean, you suddenly came to me, is it because..."
Bobota's voice became quieter and quieter.
Although Angel didn't hear what Popota was saying behind him, he could basically guess what he meant.
"You are right, we have arrived at Castle Black." After Angel said this, Popota immediately looked like he was sitting upright: "However, we have not yet reached the location of Huaqiaoqiao."
