Tomie's Unlimited Journey

Chapter 338: Castle of Thorns

Before several people stepped into the portal, the toilet director repeatedly told them to be careful. According to his estimation, the difficulty of this mission would be quite high. Of course, he hoped that someone could survive, because this way they would also have some reference.

If everyone is dead, then nothing will really be known.

Watching Lin Jiang enter the portal, the toilet director couldn't help but sigh. Even if she had the treasure given by the black monk, it would be almost impossible to survive in such a completely unknown world, unless Lin Jiang could do it without any cost.

of using rosary beads, but how is that possible?!

"It's such a pity... It's this difficult the first time... I'm so jealous of beauty..."

The moonlight shrouds the vast forest. Through this lush forest, through the dense branches, you can see an ancient castle standing on the top of the mountain surrounded by many thorns and roses. The castle is quite old.

The high gray city wall was covered with dark green vines. There were so many that they almost surrounded the windows, and some even got into the windows, giving off a somewhat eerie feeling.

The moonlight was hazy above the castle, and the crows on the roof kept making harsh and unpleasant calls. A rotten and old smell mixed with the dampness brought by the plants permeated the entire castle.

The road up the mountain is relatively flat, and is probably used for carriages. However, due to the steepness of the mountain, and the fact that there is only one road available, and there are eight towers with extremely strong defensive functions in front of the castle, there is a lot of trouble.

One man can block it and ten thousand men can't break it.

The castle occupies an extremely large area, even a little unconventional. It occupies a whole mountain. Putting aside the difficulty of construction, the area alone is probably no less than 100,000 square meters!

A large number of huge domed towers stood everywhere, and soldiers on night watch could be vaguely seen sticking their heads out of the windows from time to time.

Lin Jiang looked speechlessly at the handcuffs on her hands and the shackles on her feet. Not only that, she was also barefoot...

The road on the ground was quite muddy. It looked like it had rained heavily a few days ago. The feeling of stepping on the mud was quite unpleasant. Especially when he knew how messy and dirty the Middle Ages were, Lin Jiang was afraid that he might step on someone's legs...

Fortunately, they soon reached the stone road going up the mountain. Although it was a bit uneven, at least it didn't make people feel sick.

Others are in the same state as her. Obviously, this is the new status of slave given to them by the Lord God.

Snapped!

A whip suddenly hit Lin Jiang's feet.

"Hurry up! You sons of bitches! If you delay your trip, let's see how I deal with you! Pigs can run faster than you! It's a waste to feed you!! Bad luck!"

A middle-aged man wearing a black top hat and a mustache viciously insulted them. These people were the slaves the Duke wanted. He did not dare to kill them casually. The last slave owner dared to abuse slaves and the number of slaves was reduced.

, had been skinned and cramped by the Duke and hung on the big tree in the center of the town.

"God, that's a devil!"

Of course, he only dared to say this from the bottom of his heart.

I don’t know why the dignified Duke of the Empire is willing to succumb to this remote town. What is it that attracts him? What’s even more confusing is that the Duke is extremely strict with the people around him, but he has always been affectionate towards the untouchables.

You have a special preference. Not only do you avoid a lot of taxes, but you also never exercise your rights as a noble, such as power.

It is really hard to work under him, and there is no benefit to be gained, but no one has ever come out to oppose him. As a businessman, although he is not under the duke, if the duke wants to kill him, it will only take one word, and no one will

Would offend an imperial duke for a businessman.

Otherwise, the last businessman wouldn't have been cramped and skinned in public. Speaking of which, he didn't want to take on this task, but unfortunately he was the only businessman closest to the Duke's Castle. The distance alone would have taken several months.

, he simply couldn't refuse and had no reason to refuse.

Lin Jiang observed for a while that there were 72 slaves in total, and there were only 20 slave owners and guards. Lin Jiang felt that even if each person picked up a stone, these 20 people could be killed.

The team moved very slowly, and the shackles were also one of the factors. The more important reason was that the slaves did not have enough food and clothing, which made most of them weak and sick. Walking such a long distance barefoot was simply a torture for them.

It was not a very far mountain road, and normal people could reach it in forty minutes at most, but it took them half a day to reach the gate of the castle.

The gate is made of steel. The combined width of the two gates is more than 6 meters and the height is about 8 meters. To open the gate, it takes at least a dozen strong men to work together.

They waited outside the door for almost ten minutes before the door slowly opened. Behind the door was a group of thirty soldiers wearing iron armor. The three leaders looked like they should be the Duke's knights.

"Mr. Noel Laurent, please come with me. The Duke is waiting in the hall."

"I'm really sorry. It's all because these slaves are too lazy, which is why I'm one day later than expected."

Noel Laurent explained uneasily that it was actually only half a day late, but in order to show that it was his fault, he deliberately exaggerated his words.

"It's okay, Mr. Laurent. Bring these slaves with you."

The knight raised his right hand and waved, and the fully armed soldiers behind him came out one after another, surrounded the slaves heavily, and pressed them to the main hall together.

The interior of the castle is no different from the medieval buildings. The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast interior space. This design makes the interior of the castle dim and gives people a sense of mystery and darkness.

Along the way, Lin Jiang had already seen 4 teams of patrolling soldiers, each team of 21 people, led by a knight, not counting the guards standing guard.

...This castle is quite heavily guarded.

After walking for about half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the main hall. The interior of the main hall was extremely large, and it was not a problem to accommodate two to three thousand people at the same time. All the internal walls were painted white, and with the vines that emerged from the cracks in the wall and grew into the interior,

It looks a little weird.

The Duke sat on the high platform in the center.

He closed his eyes tightly and had a tall and burly figure, but he looked a little weathered and didn't feel alive at all.

"Is the person finally here?"

The Duke heard the footsteps of the large group and opened his bloodshot eyes. After opening his eyes, the Duke gave people a sinister feeling. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle watching its prey, scanning the audience one by one.

Everyone.

Wherever they looked, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads due to invisible pressure.

Lin Jiang also lowered his head. The situation is currently unclear, so it's better not to be too conspicuous.
