Vol 8 Chapter 98: Shadow Castle

"Come on, Lord Rubik's Cube, you can choose an area from the blank area on this map as your territory."
City Lord Todd took out a map and placed it in front of Chen Bing.
The map is a map of Tucheng and its surroundings. It has gray and blank colors. Gray means it is not selectable.
"Okay, I'll take a look first."
Chen Bing lifted his spirits.
He checked the available range of his territory, and it was about 250200, which is an area of ​​50,000 square meters. Although the area is not huge, it is enough as a private territory.
With territory, Chen Bing can do a lot more.
One of the most obvious benefits is that he can recruit NPC guards in his territory, and at the same time, he can establish a trading market in his territory and receive taxes.
The NPC guards recruited by players are generally not too strong. Most of the time, the reason is that the player's reputation in the NPC is not enough, and the powerful NPCs generally do not come.
Another reason is the powerful npc guards. When the player's reputation is not high, the asking price will be high. The price of forming a guard team is not a joke.
As the number one on the honor kill list, even the city lord knew his name and became the honor lord. Chen Bing's reputation in NPCs must be unmatched. Recruiting NPC guards is definitely not a problem.
Chen Bing's eyes flashed, looking for suitable terrain on the map.
As a former special force, Chen Bing certainly knows that it is best to build his territory in a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"City Lord Todd, there is an old castle on the map in this valley, right? Can I directly choose it as my territory?"
After watching for a while, Chen Bing suddenly pointed to a valley on the map and said.
In Chen Bing's view, this valley is very suitable as a territory.
Behind the valley is a big rift valley. The bottom of the big rift valley is a river. It is very difficult to attack from behind the valley.
In front of the valley is a plain with convenient transportation and easy access to Tucheng.
Choose here as the territory. The scope of the territory just covers the entrance of the valley. As long as Chen Bing guards the entrance, it is difficult for intruders to invade into the territory.
Taking ten thousand steps back, the territory has really been invaded, and he can also use the rift and river behind the valley to escape, and there is an untraceable back road.
It can be said that there is no better position for territory.
But the strange thing is that there is an old castle in the valley, and Chen Bing can still choose.
"Oh, this shadow castle you said, this shadow castle is no longer inhabited, and the castle is not anyone's asset. You can choose it as your territory, and the castle will become your possession. But I think you’d better not do this. The shadow castle is not a good place. In the castle, strange shadows often appear. If the people living in the castle disappear or die, the shadow castle will become nothing. The main land is also because the previous owner died. And that is not the only castle owner who died strangely. Counting the past, five castle owners either died in the castle, or from Missing in the castle. So since the death of the previous owner, no one wants to take over the castle of shadows."
Todd glanced, then explained with a smile.
"How about the maintenance of the castle?"
Chen Bing thought for a while and asked.
"Now I don’t know, but a few years ago, after the last owner of the castle died a few years ago, although no one was living in the castle, it was still like a person. It was well maintained and there was absolutely no problem in living in it. I said Lord Rubik’s Cube, you don’t really want this castle, do you? I think you’d better not do this, the shadow castle is too weird!"
After Todd answered Chen Bing, he persuaded again.
"I know your kindness, the lord of the city. Why don't I go over to see the situation first, and if it's okay, I will choose Shadow Castle. What do you think?"
Chen Bing said to Lord Todd with a thought.
"That's it, it's okay, but you must make a decision within three days. I will still report your choice to the royal family at that time."
City Lord Todd thought for a while, and felt that it would be a way for Chen Bing to meet him by himself.
Although the Shadow Castle is dangerous, he has not been killed the first time he entered the castle.
As far as Lord Todd knows, the shadow castle will initially appear strange shadows like a haunt, and if the castle owner is not scared away, he will eventually die.
"This is the master key of the shadow castle. You can open any door in the castle. If you see the situation is not good, you can leave quickly."
City Lord Todd took out an old and delicate key and handed it to Chen Bing.
"Thank you! By the way, Lord City Lord, can you tell me when did the Demonized Forest appear?"
Chen Bing asked after receiving the key.
In fact, even if the city lord did not invite him to come over at night, Chen Bing would approach the city lord and ask for more information about the Demonized Forest.
"When did it appear? I don’t know the specifics. The only thing I can tell you is that the demonized forest existed before the Tucheng was built. Long ago, many people ventured into the demonized forest to hunt for treasures. At that time, people built a resting place outside the enchanted forest, which was the prototype of Tucheng. Later, in order to resist the monster riots that appeared from time to time, people who came to adventure treasure hunters decided to strengthen Tucheng armed to resist. The violent monsters rushing out of the enchanted forest. Otherwise, every time the monster riots, they have to retreat to a very far place in advance to avoid being attacked by the riot monster."
"It will take a lot of time to come back and forth like this~EbookFREE.me~ Therefore, the construction of Tucheng has received the approval and support of a large number of adventurers. Tucheng is also gradually built under this environment. "
"Of course, now I don't know how much time has passed. No treasure can be found in the demonized forest. Tucheng is not the original Tucheng, but an ordinary city. It is not what it used to be."
Lord Todd answered Chen Bing's question and talked about the origin of Tucheng.
"Is that the first existence of the demonized forest, or did the sacred tree appear earlier in the origin continent?"
Chen Bing asked again immediately.
"Then I don't know anymore. Whether it is when the sacred tree appeared, or when the demonized forest appeared, how it came into being, although I have been the lord of the city for more than ten years, I am ashamed that I still have nothing. Known."
Lord Todd shook his head regretfully this time.
This is a very critical question. Chen Bing wanted to figure it out, but City Lord Todd didn't know, and Chen Bing did not withdraw.
The matter on the city lord's side was temporarily over. Chen Bing took the key and returned to a small guest room in the city lord's mansion and found Cici.
Worried that it would take a long time to say too many things to the lord, Cici would feel bored on the side, or the lord saw that Cici was very cute and pitiful, and if he wanted to hold Cici’s hand or touch her face, the lord might be directly poison.
If that were the case, Chen Bing would be a tragedy.
So just in case, Chen Bing simply let Cici play by herself in a living room.
Seeing someone coming in, Cici was startled at first, and only after recognizing that it was Chen Bing did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother, are you finished talking?"
Cici thought for a while and asked.
On the way back, Chen Bing asked Cici to call him his brother.
Cici was only eight years old, so Chen Bing felt that she was ten years younger suddenly.
