    Tomad and his party embarked on a journey to Zephyr County early the next morning. The road was long and required to pass through the rugged Echo Canyon and the inaccessible Black Forest.  Although there are towers and fortresses on both sides of Echo Canyon, since neither Tomad nor Fonderrick intends to expose their identities, they can only ride through under the vigilant eyes of the guards, instead of acting like messengers or wandering knights.  Accept accommodation and food.  The Black Forest is another dangerous place. On the fourth night after crossing the Echo Canyon, Lisa Blackblade, who was sentrying out in front, quickly rushed back with two Dark Elf scouts, and fired at Tomad from a distance.  A series of complicated sign languages.  "We found a dense forest ahead. It's so big that you can't see the edges on the left and right." Tomad turned his head and said to Feng Derek, who looked tired, "Take out the map and see if it's already there."  "What about the Black Forest?" Feng Derek nodded in agreement, then jumped off the horse sideways, pulled out a roll of leather maps from the saddle bag, unfolded it, and studied it for a while under the afterglow of the sun.  "This should be the right place." He finally said with certainty, "Mr. Tomad, I suggest camping here tonight. Although it is still early and it is inevitable to spend the night in the black forest, but in my opinion, it can still be done  One less time is better. " Tomad looked around. Although the afterglow still made the western sky very bright, the surrounding light had gradually dimmed.  "Okay, let's go back and walk for a while. I remember seeing a hillside that is more suitable for camping. There seems to be the ruins of a guard tower." Feng Derrick put away the map and climbed onto the horseback with a quick movement.  "I hope it won't take too long to clean up there, otherwise we might as well put up a tent." As he spoke, he raised his right hand high and waved it twice over his head. "Return the same way we came. We will camp outside the Black Forest tonight.  !¡± In terms of memory, Tomad was confident that he would not lose to anyone, but after five minutes of riding back, the ruins of the tower still did not appear in his memory.  The afterglow of the sun has completely disappeared behind them. Dark blue dominates the sky, and it is still deepening rapidly. Twinkling stars appear above the head in twos and threes. At this speed, I am afraid it won¡¯t be long before the team is on their way accompanied by the silver moon.  .  This is not a good result. Tomad suppressed some anxiety in his heart, stepped on the stirrups, sat upright in the saddle, and looked into the distance.  The black fertile field is dotted with tall trees that look like giant guards. The faint dusk has fallen, making the field of vision even narrower.  Tomad looked away with some disappointment, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the silhouette of a crumbling tower from the corner of his eye.  "Thank you Lord of Justice Bablupa, look over there, we are here." The excitement quickly faded as we got closer and closer to the ruins of the tower. When Tomad saw it from a distance, he thought that the tower would at least have some  With a relatively stable base, it might even be possible to find a few compartments that haven't completely collapsed.  However, when he reached the bottom of the hillside, he was disappointed to find that the building was already in danger. Not only could it not be used as a camping ground, but it had to be kept away to ensure the safety of his life.  This is a quite tall tower building, and it is obviously part of a larger building. There are still a few feet of city wall left on the left and right sides of the tower, and the stone crenellations silently tell the majesty of the past.  Unfortunately, a large tree growing out of the crack in the tower foundation destroyed the stability of the building. The tree's roots were intricately intertwined, and few leaves could be seen on the stretched crown. The tree was covered with pale trees that looked like the bloated faces of the dead.  The skin looks like a ghost.  Feng Derrick carefully observed the moss-covered foundation stone of the high tower, and then shook his head regretfully, "This is Fangyan City, the residence of Viscount Klein Hughes. We arrived a hundred and fifty years too late, otherwise we would still be here."  "Who destroyed this castle?" Thomas looked at the damaged parts of the tower curiously, especially a particularly obvious irregular hole in the tower, and a bush of black thorns.  The inside was thrust out diagonally, and it looked like a spasmodic, withered hand.  "It should have been smashed by a catapult, but how come it is more than thirty meters above the ground? Can an ordinary catapult throw the stone bullet so high?" "Of course not." Feng Derek snorted and climbed towards  The moss-covered stone steps spat, "After the elf clan moved away under the hostile policies of the arrogant Emperor Livi VIII, the empire never built any alchemical catapult, and the last alchemical catapult was also  It was completely destroyed eighty years ago, but Viscount Hughes was not lucky enough to wait until that moment. Although he had become the guest of many ladies with his charming demeanor and pleasant words, he should never try to get involved with the Queen.  , withstood the attacks of the Longbow Knights and the Ash Knights for two weeks, and finally used a precious alchemical sling to crack open the turtle shell of Fangyan City, and then cut off the handsome head of Viscount Hughes, mouthIt was stuffed with apples and served to the queen's table.  " Tomad twitched his cheeks speechlessly. It seems that this high tower once had an extraordinary experience, but no matter how majestic and majestic it was at the beginning, now only a piece of ruins is left, and it looks like  In this way, within a few years, even the ruins will no longer exist. Feng Derek brought the manpower to set up the tent quickly. In fact, only half of the manpower was enough, and he sent the other half to collect firewood nearby.  , hunting birds and beasts. Although the group brought two full carriages of food supplies, including yellow cheese, rusks, dried sausages and turnips as big as wheels, as well as several barrels of aged grapes, enough for everyone to eat.  The Bablupa Monastery is in sight. But after all, the food is too monotonous, hard and hard to swallow. If there is some barbecue or fish, the quality of the dinner will be greatly improved. But he was not assigned a task.  Lisa Blackblade and a dozen Dark Elf scouts were on guard outside the camp. Tomad gestured to them, then took the torch from one of the scouts and walked towards Tai.  The two bronze doors at the entrance of the half-shattered tower once guarded the spiraling stairs loyally, but they had long since abandoned their duties. One of them fell among the grass and dark fungi, and its surface was covered with sharp blades.  The door that was still barely standing was not much better despite the slashing marks. The wrist-thick bronze door latch was bent at a weird angle, and it was unknown what terrible force caused it. ¡°It really looked likea copy of a game.  "Tomad muttered in a low voice, and then stepped into the tower cautiously. Adventure games always have a deep temptation for young people. If coupled with inflated self-confidence, it is simply an unstoppable obsession.  The inside of the tower is older than the outside. Although the baptism of wind, frost, snow and rain has weathered and peeled off the rocks on the outside, it has also washed away the dust accumulated over the past 150 years. Tomad tried his best to walk slowly, but he still couldn't avoid it.  With each step, a thin cloud of smoke and dust rises from the ground, bringing a pungent smell of decay. One hundred and fifty years is enough time to turn the once glorious palace buildings into dilapidated ruins, and it is also enough to turn the once glorious palace buildings into dilapidated ruins.  The bloody slaughterhouse turned into a silent cemetery. Tomad walked along the spiraling stone stairs to the third floor of the tower. He stepped past the rusty black iron helmets and armors, and saw that more than a dozen people had already turned into skeletons.  A bronze door that was still tightly closed was found among the corpses. However, this door did not protect the owner behind it, because the huge stone thrown by the catapult hit this place, and a huge stone wall was broken open.  All the furnishings in the room were crushed into powder like the people hiding here. Tomad walked into the room through a huge crack on the side of the door. The silk curtains and sheepskin tapestries had long been reduced to a few traces on the wall.  , even the pieces of furniture inlaid with gold turned into a smeared black. The once prominent Hughes family had long since vanished into thin air due to the Viscount's reckless sexual pursuit. Even under the high-pressure blockade of the Griffin Empire, except for sleepless nights.  Except for the memory of the Eye intelligence personnel, it has been completely erased from the eyes of the people. Seeing that there is nothing worth exploring here, Tomad turned around and was about to leave the tower, but the corner of his eye caught sight.  But suddenly he saw a strange scene, a huge fire snake shining in the dark night, crawling from the distance, although the speed was slow, but the direction was pointed at the camp below the tower. "Bablu, the Lord of Justice."  Wait, that's a torch-bearing team, and the number of people is quite large!  "Tomad narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, and blurted out in surprise. As Feng Derek said, the black forest with complex terrain and infested beasts can also be called a dangerous place for travelers during the day. If you venture through the black forest at dark night, then  What kind of crazy behavior would it be? Because he had not thought that such a thing might happen, Tomad did not carry a warning horn with him. He walked to the hole made by the catapult without hesitation and took a brief look.  In the campsite below, he jumped into the dark night. The magic tower of the Dark Elf Castle provided many very practical magics. In terms of the depth and breadth of magic theory, Tomad barely grasped the basics, but in practical applications.  , but will not lose to those great magicians who have been immersed in magic for decades. The black feathers surrounded the young man's feet, greatly slowing down his fall, so that he jumped from a height of more than ten meters.  At this time, Tomad almost didn't feel the impact of landing. Lisa Black Blade almost appeared in front of him, "My master, I saw you using the Feather Fall Techniquewhat happened?"  " "I saw a team appearing from the direction of the Black Forest on the tower. They were large in number and had an unknown purpose.  Tomad ordered with a serious face, "Lisa, send someone no, go and find out in person."Next, let¡¯s see who belongs to that team?  "
