Chapter 276 Skinning Tower
Xingkong had just put on his smock and covered his skull with his hood, when four ghosts floated in front of him.
The leader of the ghost is an old man, his body is translucent gray-white, and his expression is very shrewd: "Foreign travelers! The Sorrowful King has issued an order: No attacks on the undead are allowed in the Royal Court of Decay! You did it We have all seen what happened. A poor zombie did not provoke you, but you took away its only property.
If I were you, I would definitely find a way to escape from here as quickly as possible... ..."
As he said that, the four ghosts cast spells together, and the magic shaped a sedan chair between them. The sedan was very simple. It was a chair with a stick tied to both sides, and a stream of death energy rippled on the sedan.
Xingkong thought that the attack just now was very clean and tidy, but he didn't expect that he was still discovered. This made him think of a word... The Royal Court of Rot is really "a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger".
These four ghosts are no ordinary low-level undead at first glance, especially the old ghost who is the leader is definitely a high-level hero.
The next step should be to "spend money to eliminate disasters".
"You are right, I must leave here as soon as possible. I saw a good vehicle, it seems to be very popular in the Decaying Royal Court."
The ghost old man made an invitation : "This is the ghost express boat. The Royal Court of Decay is really big. Taking the ghost express boat can help you reach your destination as quickly as possible. Our charges are very cheap, but considering your special situation, we will only charge you one this time. gold coins.
We can take you anywhere you want... within the King's Court only. ”
One gold coin!
Xingkong knows the price of the ghost ship in the Rotten Royal Court. Five silver coins can travel throughout the royal court.
But if you don’t want to cause more trouble, this A sealing fee must be paid.
Xingkong popped out a gold coin, then walked over and sat on the chair: "Go to Peel Tower, it's best to be quick. ”
The ghost old man stretched out his hand to grab the gold coin, and stretched out his index finger with his other hand to twist it. A gust of wind was summoned, blowing the gold coin and making a pleasant sound.
"Hey hey hey..." The ghost old man held the gold coin, stretched out his hand again, and the gold coin disappeared. It and the other three ghosts lifted up the sedan chair and said confidently to the starry sky: "Guests, please rest assured, our ghost ship is famously fast in the Royal Court of Decay."
The four ghosts lifted up the sedan chair. The simple flying boat quickly rose up and circled around the spire of a towering tower. After identifying the direction, the ghost ship accelerated rapidly and flew forward.
The oncoming wind blew open the hood of Xingkong, revealing a silver metal skull.
After Xingkong put his hood back on, the ghost ship quickly fell, and then made a beautiful drift and stopped at the bottom of a tower of the undead.
The ghost old man saluted to the starry sky: "Guest, the peeling tower has arrived, thank you for your patronage!"
It is indeed fast enough!
We arrived before we could overlook the Rotten Royal Court.
But it is also possible that the Peeling Tower is not far away in the first place.
Xingkong stood up from the chair and popped out another gold coin: "You should understand what I mean."
The ghost old man grabbed the gold coin happily, summoned the wind again to blow the gold coin, and said with a smile to the pleasant sound: "Don't worry, guest! We are very strict and will never reveal any information about you to anyone. .
My name is Honest Chike. Next time you need a ghost flying boat, you just need to fly this little prop. We are famous for being fast in the Royal Court of Decay!
Honest Chick gave Xingkong a small ghost model, which I can feel is a very clever magic prop.
Xingkong put the model into the shoulder and arm storage slots: "Okay, Chike, next time I need a ghost ship, I will definitely find you."
"Call me Honest Chike ." The ghost old man was very concerned about this name and emphasized it specially.
"Okay, honest man Chike."
Chike smiled heartily: "Goodbye, guest, I wish you all the best in the Rotten Court."
Four ghosts took off, "Whoosh" it disappeared between the towering spiers.
Xingkong turned to face his destination.
The Skinning Tower is an extremely large tower of the undead. Its ground width reaches 500 meters. The tower towers directly into the clouds and mist in the sky, as if it can reach the moon in the sky.
Such a super-large Tower of the Dead was not built. It grew from the ground and took countless years to grow to this size. Moreover, this kind of undead tower only exists in the royal court, and its number is very rare. There are only thirteen in the entire rotten royal court, and the tallest one is the rotten tower, which is also the ruling throne of the Sorrowful King.
The scale of the Skinning Tower ranks fifth among the thirteen super-large undead towers, and the number of undead inside cannot be counted. Another feature of it is that there are many creatures living in it, some of which come from various planes. Some of them come to the place of death to take refuge in desperation, and some of them come here to study death out of curiosity about death.
Starry Sky walked up the steps of the Peeling Tower.
The outer layer of the tower has no doors, and the material is as luxurious as jade. You can feel the extremely powerful death energy contained inside.
When the starry sky approached the tower, a crack appeared and opened, showing a passage into the tower.
Walking into the passage, the walls are illuminated by a dim light, so it doesn't seem too dark inside. After walking about five or six meters, a door opened from the wall, and you walked out to reach the interior of the Skinning Tower.
Although this journey is short, you can feel the changes in spatial parameters, just like passing through layers of sticky membranes that continuously change the spatial coordinates.
The tower body is hollow inside, and a shaft with a diameter of 100 meters leads directly to the top of the tower. Each floor in the tower is about ten meters high, and there are circular stairs connecting the upper and lower tower floors. The residents of the Peeling Tower live in these tower floors, excavating materials from the tower body to build houses, forming communities.
Residents with flying skills shuttle through the shaft, which is the most efficient mode of transportation.
Residents who have not mastered flying skills do not need to climb stairs one by one, because the tower has its own space teleportation function. As long as you walk into the open door of the tower, feel the changes in the spatial coordinates, and leave the tower in the appropriate coordinate area, you can appear where you want to go.
The stronger your spatial perception, the more familiar you are with the inside of the peeling tower, and the more accurate your positioning will be.
The first time Xingkong came to the Royal Court of Rot, it was naturally the first time he entered the Skinning Tower. It was not easy to go exactly where he wanted to go.
Fortunately, money can solve most difficulties.
Xingkong took out a silver coin, held it between his index finger and middle finger, and struck the coin in the air.
After a while, a shadow shook around him, and a short goblin appeared in front of him. The goblin's height only reached Xingkong's knees, and his round head was covered with sparse hair.
"I heard the wonderful sound of coins. Guest, where do you want to go?"
Then several more goblins appeared. When they saw that their companions had taken over the business before themselves, they sent them one after another. leave.
Xingkong put the silver coin in the goblin's outstretched hand and said: "I heard that there is a very skilled barbarian blacksmith in the Skinning Tower. I want him to build a better hand for me. "Sword, do you know where he is?" "Of course I do..." The goblin held the silver coin and blew it, then put it to his ear and squinted his eyes to listen, not forgetting to answer: "You must be looking for the barbarian Kyle, there are many people." I came to Peeling Tower to build armor and weapons with him. I can take you there, but I can't guarantee whether Kyle will accept your order. He is too busy and refuses to accept apprentices... I don't understand. Make money."
Xingkong said: "You just need to take me there. Whether Kyle can build weapons for me is my business."
< br>
"Follow me." The goblin put the silver coins into his dirty pocket, opened a door close to the tower, turned to the starry sky and said: "Follow closely, don't go wrong!"
After saying that The goblin walked through the door and Starsky followed quickly.
There are layers of sticky membranes inside the channel, and the spatial information is constantly changing.
The goblins were jumping around inside, singing weird tunes in goblin language.
Xingkong learned a little goblin language in the Scorched Earth City Library, and then turned on the brain-computer assistance, and was able to roughly understand the songs sung by the goblins.
It turned out to be a set of formulas.
“Three small steps forward, two steps forward, ten floors up and three floors back down.
Swing to the left, shake to the right, remember the direction of the moon and not be confused.
321 , 543, 010, the barbarian blacksmith is at 625.
The lost fool cried, and a silver coin was easily obtained.”
When the song was finished, the goblin stopped and a door opened in the wall beside him.
The goblin jumped out, and when Xingkong came out, he had identified the current location: "Although there are some deviations, we are not far from Kyle's blacksmith shop. Walk up two floors. We’re here. This is already a small error. I’m the best goblin guide in the Peeling Tower.
Are you an alchemical creature?”
The goblin led the starry sky up the circular staircase. , talking nonstop.
Although Starry Sky was wearing a smock and a hood to hide his appearance, the goblin was short in stature, and Starry Sky's metal skull could be seen from bottom to top.
Xingkong replied: "No, I am not an alchemical creature, but an undead."
"Undead?" The goblin turned around and walked backwards. He observed the starry sky curiously: "An undead with a full metal structure. This is my first time.
Can I know your name? If my friends knew that I met a metal undead today, they would be very envious."
"My name. Called Starry Sky. "
"My name is Little Mudworm." The goblin introduced himself: "A goblin thief. If the barbarian Kyle agrees to build weapons for you, you will live in the Skinning Tower for a long time. You can come to me if you encounter anything here in the future, our goblin thieves group is very powerful here.”
Starsky opened the shoulder and arm storage slot and took out a piece of cheese. The cheese is wrapped in oil paper. When you open the oil paper, the aroma of milk spreads immediately.
"Hello, little mudworm. I think I will definitely need help from you goblin thieves for something in the future. This piece of cheese is my gift to you. If you have any important information, you must be the first to do so. Let me know when it's time."
The scent of milk pulled the goblin's nose over, and the little mudworm walking backwards sniffed the cheese in a very exaggerated posture.
"This is cheese! It smells so good! Do you really want to give it to me? This is simply a ridiculous dream."
"Of course it is true. As long as you give it to me Provide the information and it's yours."
The little mudworm held the cheese in his hands, stretched out his tongue and licked it. The satisfaction made him close his eyes and moan: "Don't call it intelligence. If you can eat such delicious cheese, you can give me my life!" ”
The little mudworm knows very well how much money such a large piece of cheese can be exchanged for in the peeling tower, and it can definitely buy his own life.
Xingkong said: "I don't want your life, I just want information."
"Wrap it on me!" The little mudworm carefully rewrapped the cheese and put it into the inner layer Inside the clothes, I finally touched it in disbelief. Wait for confirmation that it is still there, and then say to the starry sky: "If the barbarian Kyle does not make weapons for you, I will put out his fire every day."
The goblin who got a piece of cheese was even happier, Taking Xingkong with him, he quickly found the barbarian's blacksmith shop.
Master Laem said that Barbarian Kyle's blacksmith shop is located on the thirty-seventh floor of the Skinning Tower. He is a blacksmith who is good at making armor and weapons. His other identity is that of a member of the Azure Society, a member of the Rotten Court Liaison Station, and has won the trust of Master Laem.
This time Xingkong came to the Royal Court of Decay to develop the inside line here, Master Laem’s first candidate was him.
Master La'em once saved Kyle. The barbarian nature made Kyle very sincere towards Master La'em. Master Laem trusts Kyle even more than Mondor Lali.
When Xingkong saw Kyle, this extremely muscular barbarian was beating a red-hot iron ingot with his bare upper body. Every time the hammer as big as a man's head fell, iron flakes flew out. Many hot iron flakes splashed on Kyle's body, but he continued to swing the hammer down without realizing it.
Outside Kyle's blacksmith shop, Xingkong also saw a few people dressed up as players.
They are constantly talking to Kyle, trying to trigger the plot of this barbarian blacksmith.
"Master Kyle, this is the very rare Yakhan star iron. As long as you accept me as your apprentice, I will give you this piece of star iron."
Kai You didn't respond and continued to pound the iron ingot.
"Master Kyle, can you make a knife for me? No matter what materials you need, I can find them, and you can set the price as you wish!"
Kyle continued to hammer the iron ingot. .
"Master Kyle, do you need charcoal? I can buy it for you..."
"..."
Barbarian Kyle is used to being harassed by adventurers every day, and He knew that the more he drove them away, the more they would pester him. The best way to deal with these adventurers is to ignore them. They will naturally leave when they get impatient.
So Kyle doesn’t care what the players say, as long as they don’t come in, he won’t respond. If they dare to come in, they will be greeted by a merciless hammer.
After dying several times, the players knew the safe distance, and they all kept testing outside the blacksmith shop.
Xingkong grabbed the little mudworm and hid in a dark corner. It was better not to be discovered by the players this time. Players are very shrewd. If they find out that there is a hidden plot here, they will not be able to get rid of it no matter how hard they try.
