Chapter 117 Convergence
Soon, Keiz came to the gate of the castle.
In order not to scare the people inside, he removed the state of the Obscure ahead of time, just wrapped his whole body with Gang Qi, took off the fluorescent bottle around his neck and held it in his hand for illumination.
This door was not too big, only as tall as a person, and it was embedded in a thick black stone wall. It was a wooden door. There were not many patterns on the door, but it was covered with a large area of metal. These metals, including the copper ring on the door, were corroded by the black mist, but they were not as serious as the ruins of the buildings in the nearby village.
The stones on both sides of the door opening did not have any luster under the light of the fluorescent bottle. What made Chiz most curious were the stones used to build the castle.
He stretched out his hand and touched these stones. The touch from his hand was no different from that of ordinary stones. Only when he felt carefully could he find that there seemed to be slight corrosion marks on their surface, which became a little rough.
After observing for a while, he didn't see what was going on. The wind around him was getting stronger and stronger, so he almost couldn't stand still, so he also pulled the door knocker and started knocking on the door.
Of course, he couldn't knock on the door like Claire saw just now, but just slapped on the door indiscriminately.Because he couldn't explain how he knew the code to open the door, he couldn't say that he saw it when he was hiding.
The whistling wind overwhelmed all movement, and the door knocker slammed on the door, which could only cause the wooden door to vibrate slightly, and no movement inside could be heard.
After a long time, there was still no response from the people inside.
Just when Chiz was wondering, the wooden door opened a slight gap.
But it only opened a gap and stopped. Qiz stepped forward and pushed the door lightly, but the wooden door remained motionless.
He had no choice but to take two steps back, take the fluorescent bottle in his hand to a position away from his body, and let the light shine on his body as much as possible.
The people inside seemed to recognize him, and the gap in the door was widened to the size that he could pass sideways. The people inside waved at him, signaling him to go in quickly.
Keiz sneaked in, and the person standing at the door stretched out his head and one holding a fluorescent bottle, as if checking whether there were other people or things following him, and after careful inspection, he retracted and ordered the person behind the door to close the door again.
After Qiz entered the door, the whistling wind in his ears became clear, but the real tinnitus still echoed in his mind.He shook his head and immediately found that the door was full of people, everyone had their swords out of their shells, staring at the direction of the wooden door, or staring at him.
He was a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, raised his hand and touched his head, then reached out and temporarily took off the mask on his face so that everyone could see his face.
"It's me! Keez! Don't you remember?"
Many of the people around him knew him. Although they didn't have much communication, they were still his boss's family members, so they could still remember him. So everyone breathed a sigh of relief, put away their weapons and went back to rest.
Keiz could see that everyone here was very tired, especially those who just came back. Except for Claire, the hands of the other two holding weapons were shaking.
At this moment, the tall man from before came over and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey! Kid! I remember your name is Keez, right? Boss' adopted son! She probably hasn't introduced you to me before, my name is Lando Terry!
Your fate is really great, and your luck is also good, to be able to find this place by yourself. "
Keiz took the mask back. Although the black mist in the room was lighter than outside, it was still not suitable for breathing.
"Hello, Mr. Terry! I came here only after seeing the distress signal from the fluorescent bottle. I thought someone needed help, but I didn't expect there to be so many people here.
correct!Is Blanca here? "
"The boss is not here for the time being, but she should be back soon. She couldn't find you before, and she was about to die of anxiety."
Terry led him inside, talking as he walked. "But fortunately, you found this place by yourself. She will be very happy to see you after she comes back from searching for survivors."
"Is that so? Glad to hear she's okay."
"Let's not talk about this, you are tired after walking for so long! Take a break and get you something to eat and drink, and then we will talk."
"Okay! I happen to be a little hungry too."
Terry had some boiled beans and beef stew brought to him, and he ate them at the living room table, not particularly good, but manageable.
Keiz looked around while eating. The group looked really tired. Some suffered minor injuries, and some were covered in bandages. Fortunately, no one was missing an arm or a leg.
Some of them sat on the ground and wiped the weapons in their hands, some rested against the wall with their eyes closed, and some gathered together to discuss something. There was no joy on their faces, all of them were full of sadness.
Keiz noticed that Claire seemed to have gone upstairs just now, and she probably went back to her room to rest.
After gulping down the food, he found Terry who was wiping his long sword.
"Sir! Do you know what happened in the secret realm? Why did such a drastic change occur suddenly? I almost died in the corrosive black mist before. If it wasn't for the sudden discovery that stellar energy can resist erosion, I might not be able to find you now."
Qiz told about his experience with a serious face.
"Hey——! Who in this group of people here is not like this! We don't know what happened. Those stupid guys from the Ministry of Magic never told us that this would happen." Terry sighed long, stopped his hands, and looked at Keiz. "We almost escaped from death. If Blanca discovered that this place can resist erosion, we don't even have a place to hide."
"Did Branca discover this place?"
"Yeah! After finding this place, she searched for the team members. After finding two people, she smashed the fluorescent bottle of one of them here. Some of us came here by relying on that signal. Of course, more were found and brought by the boss."
"Is this the only way to avoid erosion?"
Terry shook his head, "We don't know either. After the mutation in the secret realm started, we tried to hide everywhere, but we didn't find any other places like this."
"Do you know why this place can resist the erosion of the black mist?" Keiz asked the biggest doubt.
"After we found this place, we searched the entire castle and found nothing special. Maybe there is something wrong with the stones used to build the castle! After all, this place should have been the place where wizards once lived!"
"Where is the wizard's residence?" Qiz squinted his eyes and whispered to himself, he took out the map and started looking for the location on it.
