Chapter 15 Harvest

The garrison guarding the castle is called the garrison. They are mostly stationed in the huge gatehouse that controls the entrance. The solid walls of the gatehouse have solid city gates and mechanisms. The gatehouse is also the location of the castle prison. The sturdy gatehouse is used to imprison prisoners and is equally effective as it is to resist the enemy's attack.

Stepping on the gray stone steps, Deyoulan took Weine into the prison at the gatehouse.

A prison door was open, and Deyoulan pushed open the iron gate and walked inside.

Wei was behind her, she closed the prison door and smiled and said, "Dy Youlan, you are locked up."

Deyoulan just glanced at the little girl and continued to look at the torture instruments placed in the prison. A man talked to himself, and Weine felt a little bored. She shook the iron gate, walked to Deyoulan and asked, "Deyoulan, what is that?"

"Torture instruments." Deyoulan replied, introducing one by one, "Cross. Coffin hanging cage. This is a torture table. When executing the execution, tie the prisoner to the torture instruments, and then turn the ratchet here to tighten the rope, increasing the tension applied to the prisoner's limbs, which can cause the joints to be dislocated and eventually the joints will be broken."

Wei Nei thought about the scene, couldn't help but shivered, and said, "It's so scary."

"You haven't seen anything more terrifying," Deyoulan said.

After they walked out of the prison, they walked through the aisle, and Weine suddenly shouted: "Skeleton, Deyoulan, there are skeletons."

When he saw the unhuman skeleton, Deyoulan's heartbeat accelerated a few points, but there was no movement. He knew that it was tortuous. Before the castle was captured by the enemy, the commander ordered the soldiers to execute all the prisoners and prisoners, and no one restrained the body and turned into a miserable white skeleton.

"Skeleton..." She was startled at first, but now she has recovered. Wei Nei walked over and grabbed the iron bar as thick as her fingers, her face approached, as if she wanted to see more clearly, "Will you stand up suddenly?" She has heard stories from the bards, and the skeleton soldiers who have resurrected from the dead have appeared in the stories.

Deyoulan raised his head and saw the sunlight shining through the out-of-reach window on the wall, and dust was flying in the light column. He said, "No. Unless controlled by the necromancer, the undead creatures usually only appear dark and wet tombs or underground palaces that are always dark. There is no condition here, and the sun controls them."

After coming out of the prison, Weine said, "There is no secret passage."

"If you don't have one, go to the next place."

Deyoulan did not take the little girl to the destination. The way it was too obvious, and if you were walking around, you might have new gains. They came to the kitchen again. The stove, barbecue grill, cooking pot, and pan were all covered with dust. Looking closely, there were some plum blossom footprints on it. I don’t know what little animal just came here. There was a basket under the stove, piled with firewood, and the wooden barrels in the corner were used for washing clothes.

They then walked into the warehouse next to them, and except for the wooden racks slumped on the ground and the broken vine basket, the place was empty.

Following the spiral ladder to the sentry tower, standing on the sentry tower and looking out, there was a dark green valley forest in the distance. Deyoulan originally wanted to find something in the armory, even a rough-level weapon, but there was nothing. They finally came to the study room, and Deyoulan smiled, it was this place.

Although he knew where the agency was, Deyoulan did not say it clearly, and he walked around: "Look for it, is there any agency?"

Deyoulan touched the thick dust on the desk, wiped the glass of the cabinet, and there was no book on the bookshelf. It seemed that it had been emptied by adventurers who had come here before, including paintings on the wall. Looking up at the ceiling chandeliers disappeared. He symbolically looked for his hands and leaned against the windowsill with his chest, watching Wei running around.

"Agency, agency." The little girl said to herself.

"What are you doing when you get under the table?" Deyoulan asked.

"Look for the agency." Wei Nei came out from under the table, grabbed her hair and patted her butt.

"Have you found it?"

"No." Wei Nei asked, "What does the agency look like?"

"It could be a handle, a groove that just put down something, the eyes or claws of the statue, a loose brick..." Deyoulan said.

"No." said Vine, "I've looked for them all. Let's change the place."

Deyoulan asked, "Have you really found it all?"

"Really." The little girl focused her head.

Deyoulan said: "You must have a place to look for your dinner."

"No gambling," Weine said quickly, "That's my dinner...but I've really looked for it."

"So you are still a novice, a genius." Deyoulan shook his head, "I discovered it from the beginning and waited for you to find it out. I didn't expect you to be so useless, disappointed, really disappointed."

"Everyone can say big talk."

"The duck is stubborn." With the strength of his waist, Deyoulan stood up from his leaning position. He walked to the door to support the door frame, "Look, how far is it from here to the wall? It's almost four steps." He led the little girl out of the study again, "Look at how far is it from this door to that room in the partition wall?" He walked to the room next to him by counting steps. They walked thirteen steps, "Finally, how far is it from here to the wall? It's three steps."

"Yeah." Wei Ne responded.

Deyoulan asked: "What do you think now?"

"No."

"What a fool... the two rooms are next to each other... How much does it mean to be thirteen minus four minus three?" Deyoulan stretched out his fist, raised his thumb, index finger, middle finger, and finally opened his five fingers, "thirteen minus four minus three minus six. Do you think this wall may be that thick?"

Wei Nei opened her mouth slightly, but fortunately she was not that stupid. After a moment, she suddenly realized and said excitedly: "I understand."

"The secret room." Deyoulan hit the wall, "There is a secret room here."

They returned to the study, and this time the two of them looked for the mechanism on the wall covered with faded decal wallpaper. Wei Nei was short and could not touch it, so Deyoulan found the mechanism and pushed a brick in. Only the sound of "kappa" sounded, and a hole was staggered on the wall.

Wei Nei shouted: "Door door."

Deyoulan said, "I'm so awesome."

“Dyoulan is super awesome.”

With a slight smile, Deyoulan likes the little girl to be honest with this the most.

The secret room had no windows, only the narrow door could not shine in, and there was a little darkness inside. Deyoulan took out a lamp from the magic bag. It was a special lantern. It did not require ignition and contained ore that would light up as long as it was shaken. Such a convenient lantern was not very expensive. The only problem was that it was not bright enough or lasting enough. He took the lead in entering the secret room.

The secret room is not big, with bookshelf on both sides, and a desk beside the wall. There are no adventurers here yet. When the castle was destroyed, the invaders did not find it here, so everything remains the same.

Deyoulan found a box on the desk and quickly put it into his waist bag. He didn't need to open the box, but he knew that there was a pair of ruby ​​earrings inside. This was exactly the goal of his trip. Most players' first magic equipment, with the effect of endurance plus one, was originally a gift prepared by the castle commander to give to his lover. Then the letter-opening knife is also a good thing. The moldy snacks in the plate must not be eaten. Can a bottle of red wine be taken? Holding the lantern and turning around, I wanted to take all the books on the bookshelf on the desk.

Walking out of the study and returning to the spacious atrium of the castle, Deyoulan held a stack of books in his arms, and Wei Nei also held a stack of books. There were too many books in the secret room, so I couldn't take them all, so I could only select some of them carefully, and I was not in a hurry to see the rest. Anyway, only I knew that the secret room existed.

"Great harvest." Wei Nei looked satisfied.

"It is better to say that the world's number one adventurer is here than to say that the senior adventurer is here." Deyoulan brags shamelessly. When a gust of wind blows, the leaves "crank" sounds, and his footsteps stop, "Quiet, too quiet." This silence refers to the absence of insects, the chirping of birds, and the sound of small animals' footsteps.

Deyoulan didn't know how to describe it, it was murderous intent. Anyway, there was a feeling of uneasiness that made people feel cold on their backs. From the corner of their eyes, he grabbed Weinei's arm and pulled her to her side. All the books held in the little girl's hand fell to the ground. At this time, a black shadow just flew past and pounced on the air.

Deyoulan put down the book, drew out his sword, and waited for a long time and finally appeared. Standing in front of him was an old bobcat, the size of a mountain lion. It stood on the flowerbed, with its long tongue stretched out and licked its nose, bowed, exploded, and roared in a low voice.
