Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 261: Ghost of the Ruins

To the northeast of the upper town of Fallstown, there is an old castle on a steep hill overlooking the town.

With the precipitation of the vicissitudes of life, now there are only some rotten wood of the stone pillars, and the hollow and arched windows silently look at the lower and upper urban areas of the whole town.

In the barren castle, due to no management, the surrounding stone walls are too shattered to accommodate the wildly growing weeds and shrubs.

"The ruins of this mansion used to be the residence of Viscount Adal, the former lord of Waterfall Town. I went in and explored. From the ruins, it can be seen that it is a small castle that can accommodate nearly a hundred people." Thorne Wang Looking at the ruins in front of him, he took a few steps forward, turned around and introduced to the crowd:

"And throughout the castle there are garrison barracks, stables, armouries, a chapel, a smithy, and several storerooms."

"The castle overlooking the whole town has such a good location. Although it has now become a useless ruin, as long as it is not too troublesome to renovate it, you can move in again. I really don't understand the half-elves. Why leave it here like rubbish."

The goblin wizard Malvasia, who was riding on the back of the Warwolf, swept the pale red eyes hidden under the black pointed hat, and said lightly.

"Because at the back of the castle, there is a cemetery. It is said that the history of that land can be traced back to the turbulent years. The main reason is that there is a crack in the cemetery that can connect to the underworld of fallen shadows." Thorne looked at the goblin wizard, After a pause, he explained to her.

"Falling Shadow Underworld?" Malvasa's little hand stroking the Worg's hair froze in midair, and then looked at Thorne solemnly: "Little Ranger, you better not joke, you know that if the main material world exists What is the meaning of the shadow channel of the fallen shadow underworld?"

At the same time, when the paladin Peo heard the shadow of the underworld, his expression changed slightly, and the holy emblem in his palm involuntarily exerted a little force.

"Of course I do." Thorne glanced back at the ruins of the castle and nodded, "It is because of its existence that I understand what the Fallen Shadow Underworld is."

The Fallen Underworld is also known as the Shadow Plane.

It is a different-dimensional space in which all other colors and everything except the three colors of black, white and gray have been taken away. It is also a dark place that resists light, and the sky within is a dark dome, with neither sun nor any starlight.

And in this desolate plane, there are countless undead creatures, shadow dragons, ghosts, ghosts and so on.

The so-called Shadow Passage is the weak point in the boundary between the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane, which perpetuates the stench of spirit and death. If a corpse dies in this area, it will instantly transform into an undead creature under the strong negative energy aura.

Therefore, if there really was a shadow passage behind the castle, then the entire waterfall town would have long since turned into a barren and dead place where undead wandered.

"But I can't sense a trace of negative energy that travels in the air." Goblin wizard Malvasia closed her eyes lightly, stretched out her small hand and slowly felt the energy traveling in the air, muttering to herself: "Look at it. Coming to this shadow channel should be sealed."

"Yes, this shadow crack has been sealed in the turbulent year, and the passage to the lost holy city of the dragonborn race is in the sealed place." Thorne walked to Andrina, looking calmly to The people said:

"When I heard that there is a lost holy city in Waterfall Town, the first place I thought of was this special area, so I asked Carlos to help me find out. It turned out that my guess was right. "

"So, the ruins of this castle belonged to the dead Dragonborn Viscount Adal, right?" Dragonborn paladin Peo held the holy emblem of the God of Justice in his palm and looked at Thorne and asked.

"Judging from the traces of the ruins, it does exist for about a hundred years, so it should be his." Thorne met the paladin's gaze and replied.

"Since there is no danger, then don't waste time here. I'm a little curious about who sealed the shadow passage." Goblin wizard Malvasia patted the wolf's head gently, and took the lead towards the ruins of the castle. go.

Seeing this, the crowd followed.

However, when several people were about to step into the ruins of the castle shrouded in shadows, a group of ghosts suddenly condensed in the shadows, forming a tall dragonborn, but his body image was incomplete, and the internal organs hanging outside were like hands The twisted hemp rope is normal.

Although the ghost's appearance looked very scary, his pale red eyes flashed with fear, and he trembled and pleaded with a cold voice:

"The evil wizard Evandel led the mutant creatures to wreak havoc on my homeland, and I watched helplessly but was incapable. Outsiders, I beg you, don't break into the last pure land of our dragonborn race."

"Don't be impulsive. This is the dragonborn steward of this castle. He is a kind ghost. He stayed in this world and suffered torment because of his unfulfilled obsessions." Thorne stopped the person who was about to come forward to purify the ghost. paladin, said:

"He probably didn't realize he was dead yet, so you can ask what his obsessions were in life and then consider whether to end his suffering."

Hearing the words, the paladin pondered for a moment, looked at the ghost of the dragonborn who was still begging, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he walked over slowly and asked the ghost: "Old butler, what are you waiting for here?"

"My clan, mutant creatures have ravaged our homeland, only Viscount Adal has the only hope to escape. I am here waiting for the return of the young master, hoping that he will re-establish the territory belonging to our dragonborn and revive the old town of waterfalls. Glory."

The dragonborn ghost noticed that the one walking towards him was also a dragonborn, so he immediately expressed his obsession.

"I was sent by Master Samash Norricksius, and brought the brilliance of the God of Justice to revive the vanguard of our dragonborn territory, so old housekeeper, your waiting is not in vain, you can rest assured I left." Paladin Peo put the holy emblem on his chest, leaned slightly towards the dragonborn ghost, and said solemnly.

"Really? Great! Viscount Adal, have you seen it? Our young master is back, and there is hope for our waterfall town. Please be sure to bless your child to be able to accomplish this for thousands of years. An unfulfilled achievement..."

The dragonborn ghost shouted excitedly, and began to cry in a low voice with excitement, and then the almost solid soul slowly faded and gradually disappeared into the air.

"Do you know Viscount Adal's son?" Noticing the disappearing ghost, Thorne stepped forward and asked.

As a paladin, he definitely won't lie, so his conversation with the ghost just now made him a bit intriguing.

"When I came to this world, I already knew that he died fifty years ago, and the dragonborn village he built in the northern wasteland, and the few dragonborn people gathered were also attacked by evil human merchants. It can be said that I Is the only survivor, thanks to the protection of the **** of justice."

Paladin Peo sighed and said slowly: "So, as the last member of the village, the obsession of Sammash Norricksius during his lifetime naturally fell on me alone."

"At least the dragonborn lord who is called Viscount Adal has left you with news about the Holy City, so you can leave in peace." Thorne comforted and led Anderina to the front. Walk behind the ruins of the castle.

"The city that was located here in ancient times, is the glorious city of Gimbatur really still what it used to be?" Dragonborn paladin Peo looked around, looked at the dilapidated buildings and whispered, and followed a group of people footsteps.
