Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 41: Castle Dungeon
"It seems that our great wizard was rescued by me."

The curse on Sith has been lifted, and now it's time for him to tell the secret of the castle.

Wang Yue picked up Sis out of habit and placed him on her shoulders.

"Babe? No, you should be Bella."

After regaining consciousness, Sith recognized the other soul in the pharmacist.

Even to old friends, Bella just nodded to show her friendliness.

"No wonder you were able to find a way. It turns out you discovered the secret of these two sisters."

Wang Yue nodded in acknowledgment, but he was not sure before seeing the script. He just felt that pharmacist Baby had indeed changed a lot.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that you succeeded."

Sith sighed. Bella had already packed up the fragments of materials and walked closer to Wang Yue for a conversation.

"Soul overlap, this is the necromancy that William taught you, and it is also the most suitable for me."

“It’s also the hardest.”

Wang Yue remembered the name William. When he first met Sis, he called himself William.

He had seen a clearing in the middle of the corrupt woodland, which was called William's Tomb.

The two began to talk about the necromancy magic called [Soul Stacking]. Wang Yue also put her ear close to listen, hoping that the system could determine that she had learned this high-level spell.

The mechanics of the spell are simple.

The number of souls that each body can store is limited. In order to put two different souls into one body, the caster and the one being cast the spell need to cut off half of their own souls.

Through the method of [soul stacking], the two are stitched together into a whole.

"William was the former owner of the castle. He was the one who pretended to help us deal with the dragon and taught us many undead magic skills. He finally revealed his true feelings, which means he completely trusts Wang Yue.

"He hid his secrets in the dungeon. You may find new clues when you get there."

"Then why don't you go by yourself, instead of asking me to run errands?"

Now the [Teleportation Pocket Watch] has the function of teleporting multiple people. As long as Wang Yue puts his hand on Sith's head, they can leave here together.

Perhaps the skull discovered Wang Yue's intention, and jumped off his shoulder and rolled to Bella's side.

"We still need to make more preparations. We will definitely convince the captain this time, so the dungeon will be left to you."

When Sis finished his explanation, a rusty key came out of his mouth.

[Mission Completed: The Secret of the Castle]

[Quest Reward: Dungeon Key]

[Dungeon Key: Open the long-sealed dungeon and find the long-buried secrets of the castle]

"What I know is that the cellar is below the storage room, but I don't know where the entrance is."

"Don't worry, I can handle this matter."

Wang Yue bent down and picked up the key with one hand. The pocket watch had already been adjusted and he only needed to press the button to be sent away.

"Right, Sith."

"What do you want to say, kid? Don't waste time."

Sis was a little impatient. He also felt that time was running out, so he urged Wang Yue to act quickly.

"I'm glad you didn't die, otherwise it would be so boring in the castle."

Wang Yue showed him the intact [Sith Surveillance], then simply pressed a button and disappeared on the spot, hiding his merits and fame.

"You kid..."

Seeing Wang Yue being so considerate, Xisi couldn't help but grin.

Unfortunately, his skull was broken after so many battles, and his jaws got stuck accidentally.

……

In the [Storage Room], the dutiful skeletons stood guard.

Behind them, the Level 1 [Skeleton Fingers] were refreshed, and there will be a steady supply of [Basic Bone Fragments] produced.

While teleporting in the room, Wang Yue happened to see the skeletons cleaning up the battlefield.

Several high-level skeletons stepped on the monster at the same time, then turned to the next one without even looking. The yellow-named monsters were crushed one after another, and more bone fragments piled up in the room.

"The primary bone fragments will not be used in the future. We will have to find a way to increase the monster's strength by then."

Wang Yue grabbed a handful of bone fragments as "dry food" and put them in the package, then started knocking on the wall.

According to the hint from "Xiao Nuo", the hidden passage in the storage room is on the wall, and the way to open it is to find the hollow part and break through it.

"Boom, boom, boom... bang, bang."

"This is it."

Wang Yue quickly found the spot on the wall and poked it with his rapier, breaking the wooden board disguised as stone bricks.

After taking out the wooden board, Wang Yue saw the keyhole in the wall.

"It's very simple."

He inserted the iron key into the wall and turned it clockwise and heard a loud noise.

……

The wall on the outward side actually began to move outward, and finally a downward opening was formed.

This is the entrance to the dungeon. There is flickering fire inside and torches are placed on the descending stairs.

The stairs were very steep. Wang Yue walked down carefully, feeling the wall, and finally turned around and entered the storage room just below.

"There are torture tools in the castle. Xiao Nuo, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

There are naturally cages in the dungeon, and in addition to the cages there are also iron tools hanging on the walls.

Although iron tools are rusty, they can still be used. Some sharp weapons, if used for torture, can even cause prisoners to contract tetanus, a condition that cannot be cured even with full-level treatment.

"The most important clue is right here."

We can look at the strange tools later. The most urgent task is to find the important clues left by "William".

[Teleportation pocket watch has unlocked scale - Dungeon]

"Where is the clue?"

Wang Yue looked towards the iron prison. There were four cells in the room, and none of them were very spacious.

There were skeletons in the two iron cages, with spider silk hanging on the bones, which was quite scary.

"Oh? I see."

Wang Yue saw a thick red-covered book placed inside the iron cage.

[William's Notebook: The former owner of the castle recorded his deeds in this book]

The real content can only be seen after opening the book, but the props placed in the iron cage look like a trap.

"Obviously a trap."

Wang Yue was about to open the map when she heard a rustling sound.

In addition to the iron cage, there was also a pile of broken wooden boxes in the dungeon. The wooden bars had basically rotted away, and the iron rings used to fix them were curled up.

"So...hungry..."

A weak cry came from behind the ruins.

According to the [Ghost Map], there is also a neutral unit in the room, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Wang Yue tentatively picked up the weapon, used the rapier to push aside the broken wood, and slowly approached the sound.

"Master...food..."

The little white spider hid behind a wooden box, its eight legs trembling because it was too hungry.

[Bone Spider: A spider that eats bone fragments and can stick to its enemies]

【Level: 10】

"Aren't there some bones next to you?"

Wang Yue pointed at the white bones in the iron cage. The little spider shook his head and continued to crave for food.

“Doing good should be rewarded.”

He casually threw a piece of bone from his bag to Spider-Man, then summoned a skeleton and prepared to take the diary from the iron cage.
