Gegas Castle
It was almost dark when they reached the outer walls of Gegas Castle. The outer wall was constantly changing its shape, just like the castle. Sometimes they were high walls of brick, but when everyone looked at them, they became fences, and then iron fences. The speed of change was so fast that it made people dizzy.
The soldiers left them behind as soon as they reached the ever-changing high wall, and Tenny's impassioned speech was also ignored. Anyway, this speech was a half-baked performance. His half-naked appearance greatly reduced his momentum, and he was almost certain that this would fail. However, at least he had tried.
Come with us! Let this evil force know that you are real men! You have decided to face it bravely and stand up to it! Let them know that you are willing to risk your life to protect your home!
As expected, the speech had no effect at all. As soon as the shadow of the castle fell on the warriors, they immediately retreated in fear. They shook their heads desperately and fled back into the jungle while muttering. At least leave the spear for us? Shidon pleaded.
It was useless.
They need spears, Tenny said, to scare us away from sneaking back to the ship.
Ah, you're right, lad, Doughty looked at the trees. They're watching us from over there. They'll be here until we-he stops.
Until what? Berlin asked coldly. The dwarf's sly smile and the unspoken words still lingered in his mind. He could not help but shiver in the hot and humid forest.
Wait until they're sure we won't come back, right? Shi Dong said.
" No way, kid. We'll go back," Doggett said, stroking his beard. After all, you are with me. We're gay--
We share our blessings. Tenny and Shidon groaned at the same time.
The first thing we need to do is to make some weapons. Tenny continued. The dense forest surrounded them. All kinds of strange trees with vines and bright flowers grew just a foot away from the high wall. From there, the vegetation stopped growing. Even the plants were unwilling to get close to this place, he muttered. BaiLin, give me your dagger.
Good idea, the young mage said. I forgot about it. Palin rolled up his sleeves and fiddled with the intricate leather rope mechanism. The mechanism was attached to his arm. Theoretically, he could flick the dagger into his hand with a flick of his wrist. But at present, this delicate mechanism seemed to be smarter than its master, because Palin could not take out the dagger.
Come, he reached out his hand to Tenny with an embarrassed face. Help me take it out.
Tenny carefully hid his smile and finally pulled out the dagger. He and Shidon used the dagger to chop off the branch. They worked hard to cut the branches into simple spears. The day was about to completely disappear. The sunlight slowly withdrew from the sky, leaving only an uncomfortable gray.
Do you know anything about this King of Gegath? Tenny asked Dao Gen as he sharpened the green tree branch.
The dwarf looked at him disapprovingly. He refused to make or carry any crude weapons. If I were to be killed with such a lousy weapon, then it would be really embarrassing to stand in front of Leox with such a wooden stick! I don't want to. I only need this pair of fists! The dwarf roared. Rubbing his chin, he paced back and forth under what now looked like black marble walls. I know nothing about the current King of Gegath. The only clues I have are from these cowards. Doggett waved his hands at the warriors who had long disappeared.
What did they say?
He was the kind of monster that had been affected by the gray gem's magic power for decades! Doggett glared at Tenny impatiently. He was a crazy person! He could become extremely good or evil according to his emotions or the manipulation of gems. " Someone said," the dwarf added in a low voice. He turned to Palin. He was a rebellious mage, not a black-robed, red-robed, or white-robed mage. He only lived for himself and the gray gem.
Palin shivered and gripped the Mazi staff even tighter. The rebellious mages refused to accept the laws and judgments of the Mage Council. For countless years, the laws that allowed magic to survive in the world of hatred and suspicion were all destroyed by them. Whether they were good or evil mages, they had to be regulated by these laws. Rebellious mages were a threat to everyone, so anyone could take their lives.
As a white-robed mage, Berlin had the obligation to subdue the rebellious mages. If he failed, he would have to capture him and bring him to the Mage Congress for punishment. This was an extremely difficult task even for a white-robed Great Mage, let alone a rookie like him. The black-robed Wizard's duty was much simpler. Uncle, you only need to kill him. Berlin lowered his voice and leaned his face against the staff.
What do you think he did to those women? Shidon asked expectantly.
The dwarf shrugged. He might have used them for pleasure and thrown them into the volcano as a sacrifice for some evil ritual. If you ask me, who should I ask?
" Alright, I think this is the best I can do," Tenny said solemnly as he picked up a spear. It really did look like a toy, he muttered. Maybe the dwarf was right. If we were facing a violent evil mage, we might be more suited to die with dignity, instead of being humiliated like children playing soldiers and robbers.
'A weapon is a weapon, Tenny.' Shidon picked up a spear and said nonchalantly. At the very least, it would give us a certain level of advantage…
The three brothers and the dwarf approached the tall wall that was still transforming.
I don't think there's much point in trying to get through a secret door, Tenny said.
He'll probably be the front door as soon as we find it, agreed Doggett. As long as we wait here long enough, there will definitely be someone who will speak.
It was true, but it was not what anyone expected.
One minute they were looking at solid stone walls (which the Doggett said had been built by dwarves), and the next they were drenched by a curtain of water that ran like a stampede of horses.
I think we can get through! Shidon shouted in the midst of the noise. I can see through this water curtain! The castle was on the other side!
Wait, Palin said. Schrak chanted the incantation of the staff, and the crystal on the top of the staff immediately burst into light.
Ah, I really hope the chief can see this! said the dwarf thoughtfully.
Berlin dipped his staff into the water to see what was behind him. Something unexpected happened. As soon as the staff approached, the water curtain immediately separated. An invisible arch was formed around the staff, allowing them to pass through it safely without getting wet.
Wow! Tenny said in awe. Did you know this would happen, little brother?
" I don't know," Palin answered uneasily, wondering what kind of ability Raistlin had attached to the staff.
'Whatever, we should thank Paladin, the staff has this power,' said Stone, peering through the archway at the scenery behind it. Everything here was safe. He reported back after stepping over. In fact, he told Palin, Tenny, and Doggett, who were looking at the staff in surprise, that this was a meadow! Shidon looked at the gray scenery with the help of the staff's light in disbelief. The water curtain behind them turned into a bamboo fence again. In front of them was a grassland that extended to the castle.
It was a grassland now, but it might turn into lava at any time. Berlin pointed out.
You're right, little brother, snorted Tenny. We'd better run as fast as we can.
They sprinted with all their might. Berlin lifted his white robe, and the dwarf panted as he followed three steps behind. They didn't know if the grassland had changed into another environment or if it had maintained its original shape. In any case, they were standing on the soft grass when night fell.
All we need now, said Shidon, is a way in-
The gray marble wall flickered under the light of the staff, and a small wooden door appeared! It had a complete door pivot and iron lock.
Tenny hurriedly walked forward and pulled the iron lock.
It was locked. He replied.
This was the time when a few Kander people were useful. Shi Dong sighed.
Kande people! Don't talk nonsense! said Doggett in disgust.
Palin, try the staff. Tenny stood to the side.
Palin hesitantly touched the glowing crystal with his staff. The iron lock completely dissolved and turned into a pool of molten iron at Palin's feet.
Young man, the dwarf gulped. Your uncle must be a very powerful man. This is the only thing I can be sure of.
What other functions does this have? Palin looked at the staff with awe, pride, and frustration.
We'll worry about this later! Quickly go in, and Tenny forced the door open. Shidon, you go first. Berlin followed behind him. We'll use your staff to illuminate the place. The dwarf and I will follow you closely.
They stepped onto a narrow, ascending staircase. The walls surrounded them on all sides, and they could see nothing but the stairs that disappeared into the darkness at the end.
Did it ever occur to you, Berlin said suddenly, that the door might-he spun around, the light of his staff shining on the empty wall.
After disappearing, Tenny finished speaking for him with a solemn expression.
There's no way for us to leave! Shidon shivered and looked around. The stairs might change again! We might be trapped in the hard rocks at any time!
Hurry up and leave! Tenny ordered urgently.
Everyone ran along the stairs, afraid that the floor under their feet would turn into lava or a trap that could hurt people at any time. They kept climbing until the dwarf could no longer move.
'I must rest, lad.' Doggett leaned against the wall, panting. Fortunately, the wall was still in its original shape.
The interior of the building looked as if it would not change. Palin gasped for breath as he told this amazing fact. Because he didn't exercise often, Berlin couldn't take it. Under the glow of the staff, he looked enviously at his brothers 'bronze and muscular bodies. Their breathing didn't even become hurried.
Berlin, use the light here! Shi Dong said as he peeked forward.
Palin's legs were so sore that he could hardly move, but he still forced himself to take a step forward and shone the light of the staff on the corner of the stairwell.
There was a door! Shidon said softly in a victorious tone. We're at the top!
He did not know what was behind it. Tenny said gloomily.
The constant giggles behind the door made him feel that something was wrong. Why don't you open the door and find out? Laughter came from the other side of the door. The door wasn't locked.
The brothers looked at each other. Doggett frowned. Palin ignored the aching feeling in his body and forced himself to focus on the preparation of the spell. Tenny's face was tense, and the muscles on his chin were twitching. He grabbed the spear, pushed Doggett and Berlin away, and stood beside Shidon.
The two soldiers carefully pushed open the door.
One, two, three! Shidon lowered his voice and counted down.
On the count of three, he and Tenny pushed open the door and rushed into the room with their spears. Palin opened his hands and followed behind, silently chanting the spell of fire in his mind. He could hear the dwarf shouting behind him.
They were greeted with jubilant laughter.
Have you seen the other party say with a sweet smile? Such cute legs?
The violent anger that he expected to face the battle instantly disappeared from Palin's eyes, leaving him to stare blankly at all this. He was surrounded by hundreds of women. He heard the sound of Shidon inhaling heavily beside him, and vaguely saw Tenny put down the spear in confusion. The dwarf cursed from somewhere on the floor. When this reckless fellow rushed in, he accidentally tripped and fell on his face. However, Berlin could only stare at the enemy in front of him in horror, unable to pay attention to him.
A beautiful black-haired, black-eyed beauty walked towards Danny. She gently touched the spear and gently pushed it away. Her gaze wandered over Tenny's strong body, which was only wearing underwear and was almost completely exposed, as she admired it.
Hehe, the young woman said in a sexy voice. Could it be that you know that today is my birthday?
More bell-like laughter echoed in the hall.
Don't-don't come any closer, Tenny mumbled, raising his spear to try and stop him.
Oh, yes, she raised her hands in feigned fear. If what you said was true.
Tenny was still staring at the black-haired beauty and slowly retreated to Palin's side. Little brother, he whispered, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead to his lips. Were these women enchanted? Was he affected by some kind of spell?
N-no, Berlin stammered, looking around. They…they didn't look like they did. Other than the power of the gray gem, I didn't sense any magic power. The gray gemstone's power has become stronger, but that's because we're closer to it.
Young man, the dwarf got to his feet nervously and cut in between them. We're in big trouble.
Was that so? Tenny asked suspiciously, his spear still blocking in front of him. He noticed that Shidon was also in the same position. Dwarf, speak clearly! He growled. How much do you know about these women? They really didn't look like prisoners. They were vengeful spirits, bloodsuckers? Or some demonic beast?
Worse than that, the dwarf wiped the sweat off his face with his beard, his eyes frantically scanning the giggling women in front of him. Think about it, boys! We are the first group to enter this castle! These women had probably not seen a man for two years!
