Chapter 450 Arriving The Ruins, Entering The Castle
Lu Yu and his group continued to move forward, weaving through the thick trees.
The path before had been difficult to cross, but at some point, the path ahead got smooth.
Lu Yu looked at the ground and realized they were walking on a small path in the forest paved with fine stones.
“It seems we’re almost there,” Lu Yu said.
“It seems that we are near the holy temple.” We should be able to reach it soon if we continue down this path.”
Xu Yuan stated.
Wang Meng heaved a sigh of relief. “Phew, I’m a little nervous. It’s my first time coming to a place like this.”
“The three of us girls aren’t nervous at all, so why are you getting nervous?” Yun Zirou shot him a glance.
Wang Meng immediately puffed up his chest and said, “Who said I was nervous? I was just joking. Can’t you tell?”
Su Qing smiled awkwardly. “I’m actually quite worried as it’s my first time facing a powerful and unknown enemy.”
Han Xuefei smiled faintly and commented in a relaxed manner, “There’s no need to be worried when we have such a strong captain here. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Lu Yu raised his head and looked at them, answering them helplessly, “No matter how strong I am, I can’t protect all five of you at the same time. Also, I brought you all here to improve your strength as soon as possible. This is our main task.”
“In the future, if I go to other places to develop, I can’t bring you along if you are not strong enough.”
Lu Yu knew he was rushing them, but in actual fact, Su Qing and the others were barely qualified to come to this secret realm.
Although the minimum strength requirement was gold rank, in most cases, those who were qualified were gold rank 5 and above.
After all, if not for a series of coincidences, Lu Yu wouldn’t have reached this standard so quickly.
“Alright, we should be reaching soon…”
Lu Yu continued to stride forward, and he could vaguely see a building among the lush trees.
“There seems to be a building up ahead. Let’s go over and take a look.”
The group of six began to run forward quickly, and soon they could see the entire building.
It was a three-story castle made of black stone bricks and looked dilapidated. There were holes in the walls, and the windows and glass were all broken.
The castle’s surroundings were gloomy and had an atmosphere straight out of a horror movie.
A stone-brick wall fenced the castle. In front of them was a double steel gate, but it was already rusty and looked like it was about to collapse.
“Let’s go in and take a look. Just by looking at this castle, it’s definitely not a place someone of normal status could live in. The original owner must be loaded, and we will definitely be able to find some good stuff.”
Xu Yuan came to the gate and carefully looked around, staring at the rust on the iron gate.
“Xu Yuan, what are you doing?”
“I’m just checking if there are any recent traces of people coming here. If there are, we must be careful not to get ambushed.”
Lu Yu also walked over. “It’s good to be careful, but I can’t see any details proving someone has been here.”
“That’s true. I don’t see it either, and that’s probably because no one has been here.”
Xu Yuan looked down at the ground, and he didn’t see any footprints.
“Let’s go in; there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Lu Yu took the lead and walked in. A cold wind blew over them as soon as they passed through the gate and entered the front yard.
They arrived at the castle’s gate, and a pair of broken double doors greeted them.
Lu Yu pushed the door open and walked in.
The interior was spacious, but there was only a long table about ten meters long in the main hall, with a row of chairs on both sides.
It looked like this was a place specially reserved for gatherings.
Further ahead was a double helix staircase, allowing access to the second floor from both sides. The second floor was a circle of corridors with a hollow center, allowing one to see the panoramic view of the first floor.
The second floor was packed with all kinds of rooms, most of which were for accommodations, while the third floor was filled with utility rooms.
“Let’s search the area first. If any of us encounter danger, shout for help immediately.”
After Lu Yu finished speaking, the other five team members split up and started to search for things in the rooms.
Lu Yu went up the stairs to the second floor.
Lu Yu observed the interior of the entire building as he walked along the corridor on the second floor.
At that moment, Lu Yu heard a voice from the void inside him.
“Hmm, this is a familiar smell and environment. I’m actually back here…”
This was the voice of the Death Spirit Dragon, so Lu Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Are you familiar with this castle?”
“No, I’m talking about this secret realm. I’ve finally returned to this continent!”
“Have you lived here before?” Lu Yu continued to ask.
“I’ve lived here before. If I’m not mistaken, my body should be buried here.”
“You don’t even know where your body is buried?”
“Of course, someone deliberately separated my soul thousands of miles away from my body. How would I know if that guy buried my body somewhere else?”
Lu Yu’s curiosity was piqued. “Someone who could kill you in your complete form can’t be someone normal, right?”
“Haha, another useless question…”
“Hey, you’re asking me to do something for you. Don’t be so arrogant.” Lu Yu complained unhappily.
“Ha! I have the ability to take your body away!”
“Impossible,” Lu Yu said firmly. “You can give up on that. Even if I can’t find your body, don’t even think about taking mine!”
The Death Spirit Dragon went silent for a long time.
It then spoke in a helpless tone, “I believe you. I believe you, and I can tell you have a bad temper. In that case, I guess I just have to wait for your result. Otherwise, it will be just us dying together!”
Lu Yu didn’t answer. He chose a room in the castle, pushed the door open, and walked in.
The room was old, and there was nothing in it from the modern era; even the gun inside it was an antique flintlock.
The sheets on the bed and the rug on the ground were made of animal leather. It seemed that the owner liked hunting very much.
Lu Yu went to the bedside table and opened the drawer. After searching for a while, he only found a necklace.
“A magic necklace that increases skill damage by 10%. This is a pretty good item.”
Lu Yu kept the necklace and continued to rummage through the room. He didn’t find anything useful, so he walked out and went to the next one.
In the second room, there was a wooden box facing the bed. Lu Yu walked over and saw that it was locked, and he quickly opened it with a punch.
The large box was empty except for a blue gem lying inside.
Lu Yu picked up the gemstone and could feel an intense chill penetrating his palm as if it were about to freeze.
He looked down and found a letter. After opening it, he saw that the letter was written in the common language of the Lionheart Empire.
“My dear Countess Irene, this is my gift to you.”
