I turned to look at the ogres and the manta rays, but they had far less intelligence than the gnomes.
So even if I asked them the question, it wasn’t as if they would have an answer for me.
It wasn’t like they had a book detailing their history like the gnome did.
But at the very least, this gave me a direction to head in.
"Can you take me to where the first castle was? I need to see if I can find anything there."
The gnome gave a nod in response.
Even the ogres and manta rays seemed to nod in response, as if they could fulfill this order as well.
It really seemed like all of them knew exactly where this first castle was.
Since that was the case, then I’ll just let them lead me there.
Or I would have if not for the fact that the castle started shaking again.
As soon as the tremors came, I immediately gave the order, "Secure yourselves and make sure that you’re not harmed."
Wang Rong seemed to take this quite seriously as he came in front of me and Iris while lifting up his sword. It seemed that he was prepared to stop whatever would be coming at us because of these tremors.
It was just that there wasn’t a single thing that came at us in the end.
The tremors shook the castle, but it didn’t seem like it did anything other than that.
Or that was what we thought at first until we came out of the room that we were in.
"Did you strengthen this room?" I asked the first gnome who nodded to confirm this.
Then I looked at the corridor that was in front of me.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēwebnovel.com.
This corridor was completely filled with cracks.
It seemed that the shaking of the castle had caused these cracks to form in the walls, roof, and floor of the castle. It didn’t seem like the castle was able to hold up to much more shaking as the cracks seemed quite serious.
It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the rest of the castle collapsed because of the shaking. Experience tales at freewebnovel
While I had no idea what was happening, it was clear that something big was happening in this castle or there wouldn’t be such a large change. It was clear that something was about to happen.
So before that, it was best to get as much information as possible.
"Let’s go. We need to hurry." I said to the others before leaving the room.
But it wasn’t as if I would be able to lead the way since I didn’t know where we were going in the first place.
At least these words woke up the monsters that had also been dazed because of the scene in the corridor. Once they woke up, they immediately started leading the way.
With how they tried to outpace each other, it was almost as if they were competing with each other on who could lead the way the best.
I didn’t mind since this just meant that we would be able to reach our destination sooner.
As we headed down the corridors, I could see that there were many different cracks that were scattered all around. It really seemed like it was a matter of time before this castle collapsed on itself with how many cracks were around us.
It really seemed like it wouldn’t take long for whatever was about to happen to happen.
There even seemed to be less monsters wandering around in the corridors, though that was unknown if it was because of the other teams or because of what was happening in this place.
But eventually, there seemed to be no monsters at all.
I looked at the gnomes, ogres, and manta rays, but it didn’t seem like they were surprised by this. It seemed that this was how this place was supposed to be.
Did that mean that there were no monsters from the first castle?
Or did it mean that whoever should have been the residents of this place had been chased out by the others, which was why there was no one here anymore.
It was unknown what the reason was, but it was a fact that this place was completely abandoned.
It even seemed quite messy compared to the rest of the castle.
It really seemed like this place had been abandoned for a long time.
But that was even more strange since the dungeon was a mass of mana that was created by an unknown source. The one thing that was known was that it would always return to a certain state after a while.
That was why it was strange that this place was so messy and abandoned like this.
It really didn’t seem to make any sense at all…
At the same time, it didn’t seem like there were any clues here at all.
Since they had already led us to this place, the monsters suddenly stopped leading the way and waited to see what I would do.
Then once I was done searching this place, I deeply knitted my brows.
Every lead that I had turned out to be fruitless, so I was just left even more confused as to what this Castle in the Sky was. It didn’t seem to make any sense that this place would be abandoned like this.
Then a thought suddenly ran through my mind.
"What about the reason why this place is flying in the first place? Why would there be a single castle drifting through the air like this for no reason? There wouldn’t be something like this floating there for no reason…"
A trap?
That was the only conclusion that I could come to at the end of this.
Looking around, I could see that there weren’t any cracks that were in this place.
It was only the places where the other monsters were that were filled with cracks.
"Crap, this might be bad."
