Sword Sorcery - Chapter 396

[Chapter three hundred and ninety fourth heresy]

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With a muffled sound, everyone jumped to the ground and brought up a burst of dust.

Fortunately, everyone has a certain night vision ability, so there will be no confusion. Soon, everyone sorted out their robes and looked at the surrounding environment.

“Too quiet…”

Aaron glanced at the environment and immediately frowned: “The whole castle seems too quiet.”

At this time, everyone had climbed over the outermost city wall and came to the interior of the Eclipse Castle.

The structure of the entire castle has a retro style, very similar to the castle structure in the ancient times. It is mainly divided into the lord area, the domestic servant area and the civilian area, which is different from the five-area structure that is popular on the east coast today.

What surprised Aaron the most was that he had personally seen their houses in that group of giant-eared villages before, which was a mix and match of primitive style + Japanese style.

Today, the buildings in front of him are full of an ancient style, and the edges and corners are not polished in many places, showing a purely ‘sharp’ aesthetic point of view.

This is a typical ancient style.

However, the group of giant-eared talents moved from the vicinity of the Eclipse Castle soon. It stands to reason that their house style is similar to that of the Eclipse Castle, and should never appear, two completely different architectural styles.

If they had changed their living style, Aaron would definitely not believe it. A living habit that a person has maintained for decades cannot be easily changed, let alone the living habit of a tribe.

In addition, most of the nearby buildings and houses have their lights off, and only a few isolated houses have small lights on, which proves that there are people living inside – the ‘people’ here all refer to underground creatures.

There were so few houses with lights on that Aaron felt too ‘quiet’.

It’s not as quiet as a normal castle.

“Exactly, there are very few residents in this castle.”

The coyote glanced at the surroundings and nodded with satisfaction: “And it’s already dark, which is very suitable for our actions.”

Of course, the coyote also noticed the lack of lights, and only thought that the lord’s poor governance caused a large number of civilians to flee, so they didn’t particularly care.

“Walk!”

The coyote took the lead and charged towards the main mansion in the center of the castle.

Seeing this, the others followed, everyone walking in the shadows, and under the cover of the dark night, they quietly leaned towards the main mansion in the center of the castle.

At this time, the streets in the castle were deserted, and there was not even a single pedestrian on the street, which also facilitated the actions of the coyote and others-they planned to attack and kill the city lord who controlled the magic circle.

No matter how bad the eclipse castle is, there must be a defensive magic circle, just like a wizard’s lair must have a lot of arrangements, both are the same.

Even if the inheritance of witchcraft in the underground area is not as good as that on the east coast, at the very least, there is still the ability to arrange a magic circle.

The Eclipse City Lord is an elemental wizard at the peak realm, and this castle is his old lair, and the magic circles laid out are definitely not weak. With the peak elemental strength of the upper city owner, they have some troubles to solve.

Everyone present thought of this trouble.

So, they decided to use a sneak attack instead of a frontal attack.

As long as the Eclipse City Lord is killed, the remaining weak soldiers are nothing to be afraid of.

At the beginning, the village of the giantess was stationed on the periphery of the castle. It was already considered to be the strongest village in the vicinity. Other villages did not even have a wizard level. It can be seen that the power in the underground area is indeed not very good.

Soon, everyone came to the front of the main mansion.

The so-called main mansion was actually a small aristocratic castle, surrounded by a large castle outside, and only the city lord and some henchmen lived.

“We have arrived!”

The coyote stopped, turned around and commanded, “I’ll go up and check the situation first.”

finished,

The coyote climbed up first, turned over and entered the interior of the main mansion from a window on the blue-black wall. After a while, he showed his head from the window and made a gesture of safety.

Seeing this, the others also climbed up and entered the interior of the main mansion from the same position.

“what?!”

After Aaron turned through the window, his eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that they were in a brightly lit hall, and the whole hall was empty, but the lights were lit for some reason.

The walls of the hall are made of rose red, with many oil paintings hanging on the walls, fluffy brown-yellow blankets on the floor, and pale candles hanging from the walls, the wicks beating from time to time, shaking with candlelight.

The figures of everyone were illuminated by the firelight on the wall, twisting obliquely, like monsters with fangs and claws, jumping from time to time, as if they were ‘alive’.

Aaron glanced at the wall and found that the oil paintings on it were different from those of the Lost Islands and East Coast. They were not realistic paintings based on landscape figures, but abstract paintings mixed with various colors.

After Aaron crossed into this world, he had seen quite a few medieval oil paintings, but he had not seen a single abstract painting. Right now, he was curiously looking at the latest oil painting——

Red, green, purple and black…… Various colors were mixed together and piled up on the white paper, forming a faintly distorted humanoid face.

This face seemed to ‘flow’, and within a minute, it visually transformed into another humanoid body, a cross-shaped humanoid.

It looks like a victim on the cross, with his hands separated on both sides, his body stands upright on the central axis, and is constantly ‘twisted’ due to the flow of the oil painting, which looks very distorted.

The more Aaron looked, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, he couldn’t help shaking his head, and when he looked again—

“what?!”

The oil painting returned to its original state, as if a lot of paint was scattered on the painting paper, and the face and body could not be seen at all. It was a messy abstract painting.

“Red eye, what’s wrong with you?”

At this time, the voice of the water rabbit came from one direction. Aaron looked up and found that she was standing at the exit of the hall, looking at himself with a puzzled expression, while the others had already left the hall.

“Hurry up, we’re running out of time.”

The water rabbit said something, turned around and walked outside the gate. Aaron saw this and immediately followed.

“Water Rabbit, you’ve seen abstract oil paintings before…”

Aaron ran out of the door and found that there was a brightly lit red corridor outside the door, but the figure of the water rabbit and the others had long disappeared.

At the moment, Aaron’s face sank, and he turned to look at the back hall.

Behind him is a red wall, where does the hall look like?
