Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 261 Ghost of the Ruins

To the northeast of Upper Falls' Upper Township, there is an ancient castle on a steep hill overlooking the entire town.

With the precipitation of the vicissitudes of life, now there are only some stone pillars and rotting wood left here, and the hollow, arched windows look silently at the entire lower and upper parts of the town.

In the deserted castle, due to no management, the surrounding stone walls have been too dilapidated to accommodate the wildly overgrown weeds and shrubs.

"The ruins of this mansion used to be the residence of Viscount Adal, the lord of Fallstown. I went in and explored it. From the remains of the ruins, it can be seen that it is a small castle that can accommodate nearly a hundred people." Thorne looked Looking at the ruins in front of him, he took a few steps forward, turned around and introduced to everyone:
"And throughout the castle there are garrison barracks, stables, an armory, a chapel, a blacksmith's shop, and several storerooms."

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

Malvisa, the goblin wizard riding on the back of a warg, glanced around her pale red eyes hidden under the black pointed hat, and said lightly.

"Because behind 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 Shadowfall Underworld." Thorne looked at the goblin wizard, He paused and explained to her.

"Shadowfall Underworld?" Malvisa's little hand, which was gently stroking the wolf's hair, froze in mid-air, and then looked at Thorne solemnly: "Little Ranger, you'd better not make jokes, you know that if the main material world exists What do the words about the Shadow Passage in the Fallen Underworld mean?"

At the same time, when the paladin Pao heard about Shadowfall, his expression changed slightly, and the holy emblem in his hand involuntarily exerted a little force.

"Of course I know." Thorn looked back at the ruins of the castle, nodded and said, "It is because of its existence that I understand what is called Shadowfall."

Shadowfall Underworld is also known as: Shadow Plane.

It is a different-dimensional space in which all other colors and everything have been removed except for the three colors of black, white and gray.It is also a dark place that resists light, and the sky within is a dark dome without sun or starlight.

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

The so-called Shadow Passages are the weak spots on the border between the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane, where the stench of spirits and death lingers forever.If a corpse dies in this area, it will be instantly transformed into an undead creature under the strong negative energy atmosphere.

Therefore, if there really was a shadow passage behind the castle, then the entire Fallstown would have been turned into a barren and dead place where undead creatures wandered.

"But I can't feel a trace of negative energy traveling in the air." Malvisa, the goblin wizard, closed her eyes slightly, stretched out her small hand to slowly feel the energy traveling in the air, and murmured: "Look Coming to this shadow channel should be sealed."

"That's right, this shadow rift has been sealed in the year of turmoil, and the passage to the lost holy city of the dragon race is in the sealed place." Thorne walked to Anderina, looking calmly at The people said:

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

"So, this castle ruin belongs to the dead Dragonborn Viscount A'dal, right?" Dragonborn Paladin Peo held the holy emblem of the God of Justice in his palm and asked Thorne.

"Judging from the traces of the ruins, it does exist for about a hundred years, so it should belong to him." Thorne met the gaze of the paladin and replied.

"Since there is no danger, then don't waste time here. I am a little curious about who sealed the shadow passage." Malvisa, the goblin wizard, patted the wolf's head lightly, and headed towards the ruins of the castle. go.

Seeing this, everyone followed closely.

However, when the few 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 average.

Although the appearance of this ghost looks very frightening, his pale red eyes shone with fear, trembling and begging in a cold voice:

"The evil wizard Evandel led mutant creatures to wreak havoc on my homeland, but I was powerless while watching. Outsiders, I beg you, don't break into the last pure land of our dragon race."

"Don't be impulsive. This is the dragonborn steward of this castle. He is a kind ghost. Due to his unfinished obsessions, he was stranded in this world and suffered from torture." Thorn stopped the ghost who was about to go forward to purify the ghost. paladin, said:

"He may not be aware that he is dead, so you can ask him what his obsessions were before considering 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, then walked over slowly, and asked the ghost: "Old housekeeper, what are you waiting for here?"

"My people, mutant creatures have ravaged our homeland, and only Viscount Adal's only hope has escaped. I am here waiting for the return of the young master, hoping that he will re-establish the territory that belongs to our dragon descendants, and revive the old town of Falls. Glory."

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

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

"Really? That's great! Viscount Adal, have you seen it? Our young master is back, and there is hope for our Waterfall Town. Please bless your child to complete this task in thousands of years. unfulfilled achievement..."

The dragon-born ghost screamed excitedly, and then began to cry in a low voice with excitement, and then the nearly solid soul slowly faded and gradually disappeared into the air.

"Do you know the son of Viscount Adal?" Noticing the dissipated ghost, Thorn stepped forward and asked.

As a paladin, he would never 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 50 years ago, and the dragon-born village he established in the northern wilderness, and a small number of dragon-born people gathered were broken by evil human businessmen. It can be said that I am The only survivor, thank the God of Justice for protection."

The paladin Peo sighed, and said slowly: "So, as the last member of the village, the obsession of Samash Norixius during his lifetime naturally fell on me alone."

"At least this dragon-born lord called Viscount Adal has left you news about the holy city, so you can leave with peace of mind." Thorne comforted, and led Anderina to take the lead towards the city. Go behind the ruins of the castle.

"Is the city that was located here in ancient times, the glorious Kimbatur City, really the same as before?" Peo, the dragon-born paladin, looked around, whispered at the dilapidated building, and followed a group of people footsteps.
