Broad World

Standing on the periphery of Durag's Tower, Henry didn't even need to use magic detection to feel an evil force rushing into the sky. Ordinary people who have been in this environment for a long time will inevitably be affected, their personalities will become more and more dark, and they will even eventually become a villain who does all kinds of evil. He glanced at those cunning businessmen, and found that they had all begun to be polluted. Judging from the secretive attitude, I am afraid that all the products sold are low-quality products.

Scared off a businessman who came up to sell, Henry walked along the path towards the suspension bridge. The Tower of Durag does not have a moat, but it uses magic power to dig out a huge crack that is more than ten to twenty meters wide and bottomless in the surrounding ground. The only road leading to the inner wall is the southern gate and drawbridge.

He quickly came to the outer stone gatehouse, and passed through the stone bridge that was already somewhat decayed. Standing in front of this tall tower that looks like a castle, you can't help admiring the excellent design of this dwarf hero. From the outside to the inside of the tower, there are three checkpoints to go through. There is enough space on the tower of each gate to place archers and defensive crossbows.

The city wall is also very high. Henry roughly measured it visually, at least ten meters. And every other distance, there will be a protruding arrow tower. Although the walls made of these rocks have been weathered for so long, they are still as strong as ever. After coming to this world for so many years, it was the first time for him to see such a perfect fortification.

Looking at this castle that was impossible to break through from the front, Henry sighed slightly. The dwarf hero Durak probably never imagined that one day the tower would be breached from the inside, and even his own family members would be killed. He decided to send people to transform this place into a military stronghold after finishing solving the monsters and demons here. Not only can it defend against monsters such as ogres, trolls, and hobgoblins from the northern tooth forest. It can also provide military support to villages and towns in the south and east at any time.

Just hold on to this place firmly. West to Belgost. As far as Naxikai in the south and villages on the green fields in the east, they will basically not be attacked by large-scale monsters. Coupled with the fact that this place is so easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is enough to send about 500 troops and a small number of spellcasters.

After observing the exterior design of Durag's Tower, Henry entered the hall on the first floor through the gate. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a commentator explaining the history of the tower to tourists in exaggerated language. He threw a few silver coins and listened in with the others, and quietly followed after the explanation was finished.

Seeing someone following behind, the narrator turned around vigilantly and said hello: "Hey! Dude. All the introductions are over. If you want to know more, you have to venture upstairs to see it yourself. You must know that there are so many traps here, and there are also many monsters hidden. If you accidentally die, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"I can feel that there is a rune stone on your body that leads to the underground. How about selling it to me? I can offer you a good price." Henry took out a small bag of gold coins from his dimensional bag and shook it. As soon as he entered the door, he saw half of the special stone slab exposed from the guy's pocket, and the special energy fluctuations on it were exactly the same as the other two.

When the narrator saw a bag full of gold coins, greedy eyes immediately shot out from his eyes. It seems that working as a tour guide here for a long time has infected this guy with a lot of evil. He put the rune stone in Henry's hand, then grabbed the bag and counted the gold coins inside.

Henry didn't pay attention to this rude movement, but carefully identified the stone slab. Now we have collected three enchantment stones leading to the lower floor. As long as it is placed in the designated groove, the road to the lower layer can be activated. However, he planned to explore the upper floor first, and it would not be too late to go underground after clearing the monsters above.

He glanced at the commentator who was still counting the gold coins. There was a dumbfounding expression on Henry's face. You know, as soon as the passage is opened, the demons inside will come out to play tricks. At that time, no matter whether it is a tourist or an adventurer, don't even think about running out. Following the stairs to the second floor, he directly cast a second-level divine spell "Detect Trap".

In an instant, countless red lights lit up on the wall and on the ground. As the narrator just mentioned, there are a lot of traps here. Henry carefully avoided the places that were emitting red light, and began to explore the upper floors of Durag's Tower. The second floor looked like a kitchen and dining room. He killed several undead creatures here, and found a small amount of gems and gold coins by the way.

Since I left in a hurry this time, I didn't have time to find a thief who was proficient in traps and lockpicking, so the locked box had to be broken open by the Terminator. Many traps were directly triggered in this way. If Henry hadn't hid far enough, he might have been hit by various spells along with him.

After exploring the second floor from beginning to end, he followed the dusty stairs to the third floor. Here, Henry discovers a library. What is surprising is that the protective spells are still working, and the various books have no trace of decay at all, and the writing on them is still clearly legible.

Going around the ground full of traps, he found a ghost wandering in the corridor on the south side. When this guy found someone alive, he floated over and shouted, "Dulag...Dulag, my friend! You are finally back. It's me, Daita. I've been waiting for you for a long, long time. I hope to have the opportunity to be your favor."

Looking at this poor ghost, Henry sighed slightly. He probably mistook himself for Durag because of the energy emanating from the rune stone. "I'm very sorry, but I'm not Durag. Moreover, this tower has been breached from the inside hundreds of years ago. I'm afraid Durag himself is dead now. Mr. Ghost, put down your obsession and rest in peace."

"No...no! The debt owed to Durag has not been paid off, I want to guard this place, and no one can pry into the treasure here!" The ghost began to chant spells loudly.

Henry waved helplessly, and the Terminator and the Scroll Demon rushed up immediately, letting the mage's ghost, who was completely confused in thinking, rest in peace. At first glance, this guy must have sworn to protect the tower of Durag, but unfortunately, he did not fulfill it. Therefore, his soul after death has been trapped here, without rest. You must know that this is a world with gods and magic. If you make a heavy oath and fail to keep it, the consequences will be quite serious. The light ones will be cursed, and the heavy ones will be directly punished by God.

After sweeping the property on the south side, he explored north along the corridor. As soon as he walked into a bedroom, a black figure suddenly emerged from the corner. Just when Henry was about to let the Terminator do it, the guy yelled, "Don't come here! Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I was entrusted by a dwarf to find a special magic dagger. It is said that it is a relic left by his grandfather, and I don't want it to fall into the hands of outsiders." Henry recalled the Terminator.

The thief took a few steps back vigilantly, and then said: "There is no magic dagger here, you'd better look elsewhere. And I don't like to get too close to my colleagues, it will make me nervous."

"Okay, whatever you like, I'll leave now." Henry knew that this guy was still useful, so let him be arrogant for a while.

The thief froze for a moment, then nodded happily. "It's great that you understand. I've never met such an easy-talking adventurer."

"Haha, maybe I will give you a share of any treasure I find." Henry waved his hand and climbed up the stairs directly to the fourth floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the stairs, a beautiful woman with only key parts wrapped in cloth came over. Her whole body is filled with a seductive aura, as if she can conquer any man with just one look. Without saying a word, Henry activated the first-level magic "protection against evil", because he had already seen that the beautiful woman in front of him was a succubus at all.

"Oh! Damn it, he's actually a cautious mage." The succubus cursed softly, and then put on a cowardly look. "Are you here to visit Kirihull? You know, I haven't seen a living person for a long, long time. Handsome boy, would you like to stay with me for a while? I will be very lonely without you." She gently tore off the cloth on her body, revealing a dreamy body.

Henry suppressed his physical impulse forcibly, and owed a little. "Beautiful lady, can I ask you, why have you stayed here for so long? If you don't lie, maybe I can help. Please remember, you only have one chance."

Kirichel gave a kick of hatred, and then screamed: "Okay, damn it! Be careful! Careful mage! You won. Durag, the bastard, took away my wings, and then imprisoned me for hundreds of years. Look at the inscriptions on my body, they forbid me to use any teleportation magic. Here, this is a strand of my hair. You just need to find a way to let others accept it, which means that person accepts a part of me. And this unlucky ghost must be in the tower, otherwise the magic cannot take effect.”

"Haha, please don't get excited. Now we can talk about the conditions. What's the benefit if I finish this task? You should understand that we mages are all without benefits." Henry said with a playful smile on his face. Although he knew that the demon's promise would never be fulfilled, he still wanted to play tricks on the succubus.

Kirihull opened his mouth without hesitation. "I can give you worldly glory and wealth. Whether it's money or power, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing I can't give."

"Devil, don't treat me like those ignorant civilians. Then, if you complete this task, how about you serving me for a hundred years?" Henry said while observing the succubus' reaction.
