Chapter 57 The Ancient Castle (Page 1/2)
It was noon, and Frank rushed to the gate of the dilapidated castle on the top of the mountain when the evil spirit monsters were at their weakest.
This is a stone castle covering an area of about 5,000 square meters. It is located on the flat stone ground on the top of the mountain. The town of Niubao and the Pontar River can be seen from afar. There is a small forest of about several thousand acres at the foot of the mountain.
Just like the isolated holiday villas in many stories, it looks very suitable for living.
Looking inside from the gate, the castle has a spacious inner courtyard. The building is about a hundred years old. The overall appearance is quite dilapidated. The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the outer walls of the castle are also covered with green moss.
Perhaps because of the war decades ago, the castle's gates, walls, and sentry towers and other buildings all seem to have been attacked by engineering machinery and are seriously damaged.
However, after a close observation, Frank felt that it was not bad.
As a small fortress originally stationed by knights and soldiers, the space inside the castle is probably enough for more than a hundred people to live.
Even though there are many damages now, if it is cleaned up, it will be no problem to accommodate another 40 or 50 people.
In that spacious courtyard, not only can a complete training facility for demon hunters be built, but also several blacksmith shops, stables, bakeries, and small churches can be built.
The only trouble is the subsequent repair and cleaning. I am afraid that after the castle is acquired, it will cost a lot of money to find a group of professional workers to do this.
Moreover, with such a large castle, even if Mrs. Wendy is hardworking, she certainly cannot handle all the work by herself.
Washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, and serving strong demon hunters at night.
Frank is reluctant to let such a delicate and gentle beauty like her work so hard.
I am afraid that he will have to hire several maids, including special cooks, cleaning maids, rough maids, and even a groom and night patrol security personnel to properly handle so many tasks.
Standing outside the gate, Frank unloaded his luggage from the horse while imagining the luxurious life of the castle nobles in the future.
Behind him, followed the troll warrior Stark, who had changed into simple metal armor.
"Boss, is this the stone house?"
Troll Stark waved the two-meter-long mace with his hand, still looking fearless, and asked innocently:
"Are we going to fight those green-skinned monkeys today?"
"But their meat is not delicious, and trolls don't like to eat this kind of meat."
Frank had no expression on his face, but he felt sorry for the trolls' intelligence again.
Water ghosts, like ghouls and corrosive demons, are corpse-eating creatures. There is a layer of disgusting mucus attached to the surface of their bodies, and their flesh and blood always exude a sour smell of rotten meat, and they also contain a lot of toxins.
Not to mention trolls, any creature with a sense of taste will definitely not like to eat their meat, and it may even cause diarrhea and food poisoning.
Otherwise, if it could be used as food for other monsters, weak monsters like water ghosts would have been eaten into endangered species long ago, and would not be so rampant and active in almost all waters.
He tied the packhorse to a big tree outside the castle and didn't let it enter the castle.
Then he picked up the battle supplies he brought and said to the troll warrior calmly:
"We won't fight the green monkey today, Stark."
"Wait, after entering the stone house, just rush in."
"If someone hits you, turn around and run outside the stone house. After you come out, hit him with the iron stick in your hand."
"Don't worry about anything else."
In Frank's plan, the troll warrior is a bait and a meat shield. Let it rush into the dangerous place to attract the enemy's attention, and then find a way to solve the problem.
