Chapter 304: The Castle
Chapter 304: The Castle
After holding the monster in his hand and studying it carefully for a while, Heath finally understood what it was.
It was actually a Water Fairy. It was a high-level demonized creature that lived in the water. It had unparalleled speed and was good at using sound wave attacks. These were all in accordance with its characteristics.
However…
Heath lowered his head and looked at the monster with the toad’s mouth. It was so ugly that it seemed to be some kind of deformed species. It should be known that while the Water Fairy was not a national beauty, it was considered quite exquisite among demonized creatures. No matter what, it should not be associated with ugliness, and it should not look like this.
The reason why this Water Fairy was like this was because it was a Water Fairy that had its body transformed.
Heath pried open its head. There was clearly a black thread stitched on its short and thick neck. In addition, scars and needle holes could be seen in various parts of its body. All of these showed that the Water Fairy had undergone body modification before.
“This modification method is really rough and direct… Lorent? It doesn’t look like it either. Is it McCarthy?”
After carefully observing for a while, Heath could not find the source of the body modification, so he could only put it aside.
He took out the space pocket and put the Water Fairy’s body in for future research. Heath then moved the water surface to swim up the ice surface.
Although he had only been pulled for a moment, he did not know how much he had sunk. Heath swam for a few minutes before he finally reached the surface of the lake. However, he could not find the position where he had fallen previously. Heath could only open another hole.
Boom!
A few punches were thrown and soon, a hole was created on the ice surface. Heath successfully returned to the shore.
Shaking off the ice water on his body, heath chanted a spell to dry his wet clothes. This was the advantage of magic. Otherwise, even a Grand Knight would be frostbitten under such circumstances.
After recovering his body, Heath continued to walk forward.
After learning from the previous experience, he paid special attention to his feet this time. This time, he did not encounter any more attacks. It was unknown whether it was because he paid attention or because he had already ruled out the danger.
He arrived at the other side of the lake peacefully. There was only an ice castle standing in front of him.
The first impression of this castle to Heath was…
Exquisite!
In terms of scale, it could only be considered a small castle. Compared to those huge fortresses with hundreds of obelisks, this castle only had two secondary towers.
Although the scale was not large, the layout and shape of the castle were exceptionally exquisite. The flat walls, the complicated reliefs, the wide ceiling, and so on made Heath involuntarily think of Black Swan Castle in his previous world.
The castle was now closed. Heath walked forward, pulled up the ring on the door, and knocked heavily.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Is anyone there?”
“Oh! D*mn it, don’t grab my nose! I might bite you!”
Suddenly, a voice came from the door.
Heath looked down and realized that the lock he had just grabbed was actually alive. There were human eyes, nose, and mouth on the lock. It was complaining loudly to Heath with its mouth open.
Heath released the lock. “I heard that there is a lady living in this castle. Where can I get the Heart of the Sea?”
The lock said impatiently, “I hate you Wizards who are in trials the most. You always make a mess here, and you never clean up when you leave…”
“…Yes, Miss Garcia, the new queen of Ice Castle lives here, but why should I let you in?”
Heath subconsciously took out two Magic Stones.
The door lock laughed. “Hahaha, keep your pitiful Magic Stones. Isn’t it embarrassing enough? Besides, do you think a demonized creature needs Magic Stones?”
Heath thought about it and felt that the door lock made sense.
So he raised his fist and pounded on the door lock.
Boom!
The door lock’s eyes turned black.
It was stunned for a moment before it let out an ear-piercing scream. “Oh! D*mn it! How dare you hurt me, the door lock that Queen Garcia loves…”
“Unexpectedly resistant!”
Heath waved his right hand and held the Red Demon greatsword in his hand. He raised Red Demon and prepared to chop it.
The door lock turned green when it saw this.
“Madman!”
After saying this, it opened the door with a creak.
‘As expected, fists are better!’
After rubbing his wrist, Heath walked into the ice castle.
Clang! Clang!
Just as he entered, he heard the sound of scriptures interweaving in unison. He saw a pair of armor rushing out from the corridors on the left and right sides of the door, holding spears, cross swords, and all kinds of weapons. In an instant, the place was completely surrounded.
Heath frowned.
He quickly picked up the Red Demon greatsword and mobilized the magic power in his body, ready to fight.
However, at this moment…
Woo woo! A horn sounded.
The Knights in uniform armor immediately parted to the left and right to make a path. Then, a strange creature walked up from the middle of the path.
It was a… reindeer.
The strange creature was a reindeer, but it had obviously been transformed. It had the head of a reindeer, but below it was the body of a human, and it was wearing a black shirt. A small butterfly ribbon was tied to its chest, making it look like a gentleman.
It came in front of Heath and bowed with its big antlers. then it said politely, “Respected Wizard, welcome to Ice Castle. Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for you. Please come with me.”
Heath raised his eyebrows. “Queen? Is she the owner of Ice Castle? She is waiting for me?”
The reindeer smiled politely. “Yes, Queen Garcia. She will talk to you about the details. If you are here for the Heart of the Sea, please come with us. If you want to get the Heart of the Sea on this island, you have to get the consent of Queen Garcia.”
Heath thought for a moment. Since he was already here, he would go and take a look first.
As for whether these armored soldiers would be surrounded or whether there were any traps, he would have to wait and see.
Thinking of this, Heath nodded. “Okay.”
“This way please.”
Following reindeer up the spiral stairs, as they walked, Heath asked curiously, “Forgive me for being presumptuous. If I am not mistaken, you should be a Forest Deer, right?”
Forest Deer, a forest species, a species of intelligence belonging to the Forest Race.
The reindeer nodded. “You’re not mistaken, I am from the Forest Race.”
Heath raised his eyebrows and continued to ask curiously, “Then could it be that Lady Garcia who helped you change your body structure?”
The Forest Deer was a four-hoofed animal, and its human torso had been added on the day after.
Other than that, these armored soldiers were obviously alchemy puppets made from ‘item activation’, as well as the modified Water Fairy outside. These were all traces of magic.
But what the name ‘Garcia’ represented, and from what little squirrel had learned before, she should not be able to use magic…
The reindeer laughed. “Wizard, you must be joking. ‘Magic’ is the exclusive right of you Wizards. Even if Miss Garcia is the queen, she is not a Wizard. Of course, she can’t use those mysterious magic.”
After a pause, the reindeer continued, “As for helping me to modify my body, of course, it is you Wizards!”
