Reiner led them across the stone bridge and looked up at the moss-covered ancient castle.
Against the backdrop of darkness, he felt that this place was increasingly eerie, and finally he shuddered involuntarily.
To be honest, although this castle seems to cover an area of 7 or 8 hectares, Reiner really doesn't think that there is a living ancient dragon hiding in the castle. He can only go in and try his luck.
The wooden door in front of them had rotted and collapsed, leaving only a few rusty iron bars used to hold it in place. As long as Reiner gave the order, they could enter the castle at any time.
"I'm going to emphasize our rules again. Once we get in, no one is allowed to run around. Listen carefully to my orders. If you notice anything unusual, report it immediately. Do you understand?"
The beast-eared girls answered in unison, "Yes!"
To be on the safe side, Reiner glanced at everyone in the team and asked, "Is anyone among you feeling unwell?"
Although they were all carefully selected by Reiner, their spirits reached S-level elites.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Reiner applied buffs to himself one after another, then deployed a barrier to cover everyone, and then entered the castle.
Along the way, in addition to the skeleton soldiers wearing rusty iron armor surrounding him, Reiner also saw many strange-looking buildings.
His attention was drawn to a long, rectangular tower.
Frieda explained patiently while clearing out the skeleton soldiers.
"This is the church of the ancient kingdom. Their nobles, like most of the southern kingdoms today, believe in the Goddess Cult. Most of the churches that commoners go to outside the castle are relatively low. The nobles of the ancient kingdom prefer churches with tall towers, which they regard as a symbol of nobility.
Judging from its location, this pile of ruins should be the remains of a stable, which is recorded in some books.
This should be the warehouse, that is the main building, and the one in the distance is the banquet hall..."
Reiner listened with great interest. After she finished introducing each of them, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Frieda, I'm curious how you translated these books about the ancient empire when you found them."
"Although the ancient country disappeared overnight, some foreigners still survived. The writing systems on our continent did not come out of thin air; they basically evolved gradually from ancient writing systems.
Some characters are very similar in length... In short, it's mainly based on guessing."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Frieda's eyes. "Now more and more scholars have joined our team of translating ancient texts. One day we will be able to learn the truth about the disappearance of the ancient country."
After saying that, she sighed: "It's a pity, I probably have no hope of knowing."
Reiner looked at her sympathetically.
At this moment, Junice elbowed Reiner twice and pointed into the distance.
Reiner looked in the direction of her finger, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
A group of skeleton knights surrounded a skeleton wizard wearing a black robe and holding a staff.
A spirit wizard actually appeared here.
Back then, Reiner Melod encountered this thing and almost killed Martina.
After realizing that he had become stronger, his mentality changed slightly.
I always feel like I'm still in the novice village.
Reiner kissed Junice and said to her, "Honey, this is the monster we encountered before. Does it feel like a honeymoon after marriage?"
This sudden attack made Junice's face red.
She elbowed Reiner and said, "Of course! I still remember how embarrassed I was when I ran away.
I fell down while running with Nora in my arms, and when I was approaching the magic stone, I accidentally stepped on a trap. It was so tragic..."
