"Meow! These guys are so hard to deal with …" Millennium Unchanged muttered after defeating the last Gargoyle Guard on the side of Central Avenue. It wasn't that the Gargoyles were difficult to deal with. After defeating the first group, everyone had learned how to deal with them. Hence, they managed to clear the Gargoyles faster and faster. However, the Gargoyles' HP was just too high, and there were too many of them. It took a long time to clear them all out.
"We've been fighting for almost two hours now, and we still haven't entered the castle." Li Huailin also expressed his frustration. Moreover, he had lost a lot of EXP. A Level 44 Elite monster gave him 475 EXP, which meant that he had lost nearly 20,000 EXP. However, this was a Secret Land, after all. The Gargoyles had a high drop rate. So far, they had dropped four pieces of Bronze Equipment. However, they were all Level 40 Bronze Equipment. Basically, they couldn't use them. Li Huailin had also obtained a Bronze Plate Armor Belt. Due to its high Defense, it was better than his Level 25 Blue Belt. Hence, he equipped it.
"We're here …" Jade Emperor Summoning said as he pointed to the front. "At the castle gate … uh … there are two more Gargoyles …"
"I think they're gatekeepers. They look different. Could they be the Boss?" Millennium Unchanged said as he looked at the two Gargoyles at the castle gate.
Indeed, there were two Gargoyles standing at the castle gate's left and right. Each of the Gargoyles held a chain that seemed to be connected to the castle gate. Moreover, the Gargoyles looked different from the previous Gargoyles.
"I guess so. Let's get ready to fight the Boss," Li Huailin said.
After everyone recovered from their stupor, Li Huailin moved forward to start the fight. As soon as Li Huailin approached the gate, the two Gargoyles began to move. However, they didn't attack everyone. Instead, they pulled the chain beside them. Following the metallic clanking sound of the chains, the castle's two bluish-black stone gates slowly opened outwards. A heavy dusty smell wafted out from the castle.
Contrary to what Li Huailin and the others had imagined, after the two stone statues at the entrance of the castle pulled open the gate, they held the chains and stood there motionless, as if they had no intention of coming down to fight with them. The five people on this side had also prepared for a long time, but the opposite side simply ignored them.
"F * ck, so these two guys are used to open the door? At least he has the face of a Boss. How could he open the door for two people? " When Li Huailin saw that the other side was really not going to attack, he could not help but say, "I really want to fight the boss …"
"There must be a boss in the secret plane." The Summoning Jade Emperor said, "There must be one in the castle. Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and fight."
The castle's main gate opened, and everyone was faced with a very large hall. Of course, this was originally a Titan city, so everything was one size bigger than the human city. The design of the hall was very beautiful. It was also made of bluish-black stone. Not only that, but there were also many carvings of platinum stripes on it. The floor, the walls, and the ceiling were all drawn with this kind of platinum stripes. Although they could not understand it, they still felt that it was very beautiful.
There were no stone statues that looked like small monsters in the castle, and there was no sound at all. It was quiet, and the surrounding ground was very clean. There was almost nothing except for dust.
"There are so many doors." Millennium Unchanged looked around and said. Indeed, there were many doors around the hall, and they did not know where they led to. They did not have a map at all.
"How about it? Should we search one by one? "The Summoning Jade Emperor asked Li Huailin.
"That's too slow. There are five of us here. Let's just split up and start searching," Li Huailin said.
"Split up and search. What if we encounter small monsters?" The Summoning Jade Emperor asked.
"If we encounter small monsters, then it means that we are on the right path. Hurry up and call for help," Li Huailin said.
"That's fine." The Summoning Jade Emperor nodded. "Then let's split up and search."
"What are we looking for? Do we have a target?" Millennium Unchanged asked.
"Anyway, it's something suspicious. Don't you have any sensitivity?" The Summoning Jade Emperor said.
"Even if you say so …"
Millennium Unchanged was about to say something, but Li Huailin suddenly interrupted and said, "It should be an elevator … Let's just find something that looks like an elevator."
"How do you know?" The Summoning Jade Emperor and Millennium Unchanged asked curiously.
"According to the designer's imagination, it should be an elevator." Li Huailin said confidently. "Besides, look at how big and tall the castle is. Don't you think it'd look good if we didn't install an elevator?"
"That's true." Millennium Unchanged nodded in agreement.
"Hey, you believe it just like that? How naive are you?" The Summoning Jade Emperor couldn't help but say. He then turned to Li Huailin and said, "You are obviously talking nonsense again. It's exactly the same as the last time you saw an axe and said it was used to kill a bear."
"Isn't that axe used to kill a bear?" Li Huailin said.
"Ugh …" The Summoning Jade Emperor choked. "Anyway, shouldn't we be looking for something like a boss, a royal treasure room, or a king's body? What's the point of looking for an elevator? "
"What you said seems to make sense." Li Huailin nodded and didn't argue with the Summoning Jade Emperor. "But no matter what, let's split up and search. If we find anything, let's say it in the team channel and then gather."
"Okay, let's split up first … Wait … Anran, follow me. Otherwise, if you fall asleep somewhere, we won't be able to find you." The Summoning Jade Emperor was more meticulous and suddenly thought of this.
"Pfft …" Anran turned her head and said.
"Hey, hey, why are you 'pfft'? Have you made up your mind to find a place to sleep from the beginning? I really have to give it to you guys … All of you, be serious. " The Summoning Jade Emperor then pulled Anran and walked to the door on the left. "We'll go this way."
"Then I'll go the main door." Li Huailin pointed to the door in the middle of the hall and said.
"I'll go this way." Feng Yiliu also chose this path.
"Then I'll go upstairs and take a look." Immutable pointed to the stairs on the side and said.
"If there's anything, say it in the team channel." The Summoning Jade Emperor then walked through the door.
Li Huailin's goal was very clear. This was because Wuornos had told him that there was a mechanism on the top floor of the castle. After activating it, one could use an elevator to go underground of the castle. Obviously, this sentence was not for nothing. The secret of the ruins was definitely under the castle, so the thing Li Huailin was looking for from the beginning was the elevator. He mentioned it just now because if he said it, others would definitely pay attention to the elevator in the future.
Walking along the path that he randomly chose, there was a relatively long corridor in front of Li Huailin. The corridor was not like the human side, where there were many decorations and paintings. There was nothing at all. It was very clean and did not feel like there were any monsters.
There were no forks in the road, so Li Huailin could only keep walking forward. As he walked, he suddenly encountered something. In front of him in the corridor, a figure stood in front of him. The other party was really a "person" or "shadow". First of all, it was a human because it was about the same height as Li Huailin. Secondly, it was transparent …
However, Li Huailin had already seen this kind of situation before, so he was not very surprised. The last time he fought in the temple dungeon, he had encountered such an NPC. It should be a human ghost NPC. Looking at the appearance of this guy, he was wearing a set of black armor and had a very shiny sword at his waist. In front of him should be a human soldier. Looking at the other party's name, it was displayed in yellow. "Gertifer Lothar".
"Is that you? Kid … "Although the other party was wearing armor, he did not wear a helmet. There was a curly beard on his face, and his appearance was considered decent. Looking at his face, he was about fifty years old, so it was not a big problem for him to call Li Huailin a kid.
"First it was the Headless Horseman, and now it's a ghost …" Li Huailin said as he facepalmed. "Uncle, who are you? I don't think I know you. Are you looking for me?"
Lothar, who was in front, did not speak. Instead, he walked towards Li Huailin and looked around, causing Li Huailin's hair to stand on end. Lothar suddenly nodded and said, "It's you. You have the aura of a Titan on you!"
"The aura of a Titan?" Before Li Huailin could understand what was going on, a system notification appeared.
System notification: Because you have the aura of a Titan on you, Gertifer Lothar's Favorability towards you has increased by 30 points. Current Favorability: Friendly.
"I didn't expect a human like you to seek the power of a Titan. You're practically a traitor to humanity! That's great, well done! "Lothar's expression immediately changed, and he praised with great joy.
Li Huailin was stunned. According to Favorability, this guy belonged to the opposite faction of the Titans. That was why his Favorability towards Li Huailin had increased when he saw Li Huailin's Titan Skills. If it weren't for Li Huailin's Reversal Attribute, Lothar's Favorability would have been reduced by 30 points.
"Uh, uncle, who are you? This looks like the ruins of the Titan Kingdom. You look like a human. Why are you here?" Li Huailin asked.
"I am Duke Gertifer Lothar, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies of the Kel Ye Empire. I'm here because I died in battle. I've been wandering around here for a long time, until I smelled the aura of a Titan on you. That's why I'm here," Lothar replied.
"Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies of the Kel Ye Empire? You said you died here? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes. Why?" Lothar asked.
"The Titans were destroyed by humans?" Li Huailin asked in surprise.
