king of the castle

Chapter 02: Castle Pivot This chapter is free

The castle is not as majestic as Roger imagined, with thick and high walls, tall towers and many buildings. 【】In fact, the thing in front of him is not even a house, it's just a stone tablet as tall as two people.The only thing that comforted Roger was that the stele was emitting a faint golden light, which made it look like an "artifact".

Looking at the lonely stone tablet in front of him, Roger couldn't help asking loudly: "What about the majestic castle you are talking about?"

This stone tablet is the castle pivot that Roger had talked to before, and it seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and replied hesitantly: "This... even the temple of the Supreme God was not built in a day, let alone the castle that is built right now. There are no shadows, but as long as you can provide enough materials, sooner or later I will develop into a majestic fortress!"

Roger could accept the statement of the castle hub, and soon asked: "What materials are needed to build the castle?"

"Wood, stone, metal, magic crystals, and other things, mainly depends on what kind of building you plan to build." Castle Shu replied honestly: "Of course, the most important material is the power of the soul. You can use it by killing enemies. Get the power of the soul, it is the basic power to build castles, train soldiers and maintain the normal operation of the castle, you can even use this power to make yourself a legendary powerhouse that everyone admires."

"What is the power of the soul?" Roger was very interested in this term he had never heard before.

"Any creature has a soul, even undead creatures." Castle Shu explained in detail: "Of course, the more powerful a creature is, the stronger its soul power is. No matter what creature you kill, I can absorb it. The power of the soul. No matter what you need me to do, the power of the soul is essential!"

After listening to Castle Hub's explanation, Roger understands that the power of the soul is the energy that keeps the Castle Hub running. Without the power of the soul, Castle Hub can't do anything.

After figuring out what the power of the soul is, Roger then asked: "How many castle buildings need to be built?"

"Come behind me and you'll know."

Roger hurriedly went around to the back of the stele, and sure enough, many words and patterns were engraved on it.Each pattern represents a building, and the words next to it explain the purpose of this building and the materials needed to build this building. It looks very similar to the upgrade tree that Roger played computer games in his previous life.

These were words from the world of Torenzo, which Roger had never seen before.However, after merging with the castle hub, he also inherited all the knowledge of the other party, so he can naturally understand the meaning of these words.

From the words and patterns Luo Jie came out, the castle itself can also be upgraded.The higher the level of the castle, the more buildings can be built, and the greater its effect will naturally be.

The bottom row indicates the buildings that can be built in a first-level castle, and there are only three patterns and characters engraved on them, which are the arsenal, the militia barracks, and the primary warehouse.

"Come on, when you have accumulated enough materials, the building patterns that can be built will become brighter." Castle Hub explained to Roger: "The corresponding buildings can be built at that time."

"It's really like the real-time strategy game I played before. This is my main base!" Looking at the complicated upgrade tree in front of him, Roger couldn't help sighing secretly.But he also knew very well in his heart that if he failed in the game, he could start over, and if he failed here, he might risk his life.

Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help asking, "Why did you choose me?"

In fact, Roger really wants to hear answers like "You are the lucky one" or "Because you are the one who has the protagonist template".However, the castle hub was silent for a long time, and finally he just replied indifferently: "It's just a coincidence. Your blood was stained on my body at that time, which happened to meet the conditions for signing the contract."

This answer made Roger very upset, and he couldn't help but quietly pointed at the stele.

At this moment, Castle Shu suddenly said nervously: "There is danger approaching, and you must be let back immediately!"

"Hey...wait a minute!" Roger was about to ask what the danger was, but suddenly he felt dizzy, and when he regained his composure, he found that he had returned to the Emma Continent.

The tense tone of Castle Shu made Roger dare not be careless, and quickly hid behind a big tree to observe the surrounding situation, and he found the approaching danger.

Just a dozen steps away, a pale skeleton was walking unsteadily on the dirt road.In its hollow eye sockets, there are two groups of cold light blue flames jumping non-stop, especially eye-catching in the dark night.

Roger has integrated all the knowledge of the castle hub, so he naturally knows that this is the lowest level of undead creature skeleton.What puzzled him was that there were houses inhabited by humans not far away. How could undead creatures appear here?

Undead creatures are particularly sensitive to the breath of living people. Although the skeleton did not reach Roger, it already felt his presence.The skeleton slowly turned its head, the soul fire in its eyes stared straight at the big tree where Roger was hiding, and walked towards him unhurriedly.

"Oops, I was discovered!" Roger immediately understood that the situation was not good, and was about to escape to the other side, but found that there were also two skeletons in that direction.

Although the three skeletons moved slowly, they all gathered towards Roger resolutely. Now he has a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door, and there is no other way out.

"It's all the fault of this broken castle hub, I'm in even more trouble now!" Looking at the skeleton getting closer, Roger also felt a bit of resentment towards the castle hub.

But Roger is not someone who is willing to sit and wait for death. He picked up a wooden stick and rushed to the first found skeleton, starting the first battle in the world of Torenzo.

Low-level undead creatures like skeletons don't have any thoughts. They are neither surprised nor afraid of Roger's initiative to rush up. They just stretch out two miserable white arm bones according to instinct, and pinch him straight at his neck.

How could Roger let the undead creature touch him?With all his strength, he smashed the wooden stick down on the skeleton's arm bone.The two arms of the skeleton made a "click" at the same time, and were smashed into several pieces by Roger and fell to the ground.

Although Roger succeeded in the first attack, his hands were numb from the shock, and he almost couldn't even hold the stick.On the other hand, the skeleton that lost its arms was not affected too much, and it directly opened its mouth wide and bit Roger's throat.

At this time, the distance between Roger and the skeleton was already very close. Not only could he clearly see the fire of the soul burning in the other's eye sockets, he could even clearly see that the skeleton's mouth was missing a few back molars.

Knowing that if he was bitten, it would be tantamount to surrendering his life here, at this moment Roger burst into full potential.He forgot that the two arms were still sore and numb, and swung the wooden stick again and hit the skull heavily on the head.

With a soft "pop", the skeleton's skull flew up high and then fell to the ground again.Even so, its mouth kept opening and closing, as if it regretted not being able to bite Roger.

"Ah, you want to bite me with your stinky bones?" Seeing that the skeleton was so persistent in wanting to bite himself, Roger was also angry.While cursing, he hit the skeleton's head heavily with the wooden stick in his hand.

The skeleton's head was broken into several pieces under the wooden stick, and the burning soul fire in its eye sockets was quickly extinguished, and at the same time, the skeleton that lost its head fell to the ground and turned into a pile of broken bones.

Roger noticed that at the same time that the fire of the skeleton's soul was extinguished, a small bright spot submerged into his body, which should be the power of the soul that Castle Hub said.

"Okay, let's accumulate more soul power, and try to go back sooner!" Roger, who had won the first battle, was so confident that he brandished a wooden stick and rushed towards the other two skeletons...
