Chapter 285 – Demonsun Ancient Castle’s Defense Topographic Map (2/2)

“What’s just happened? How did RichandHandsome die? AHHHH!”

A chaotic commotion of shocked voices broke out as a group of over a dozen people found their way over. They intended to surround and take care of “boss Fatty,” but were killed by Kelly’s Blood-thirsty Wicked Fog before they could reach him.

“Impressive, incredible!” Fatty repeatedly praised. If he had this kind of skill, he could release just a few patches of this fog around the city walls and it would do wonders, more than any other kind of defensive measure.

“Time to go.” Fatty got down on all fours and crawled away. It wasn’t suitable to meet other people while still in the state of Transformation.

“Go around, go around! This blood mist isn’t normal. Hurry, the boss is fleeing! After it, everyone!”

After four people died, the team of players finally reacted. They hastily skirted the Blood-thirsty Wicked Fog and chased after Fatty.

“Ignorant fools!” Fatty gave a cold snort and quickly hid into a random room.

“It’s not there anymore, the boss disappeared!”

“Search! That kind of boss will definitely drop good equipment and maybe even a border pass. Us brothers will have the opportunity to win honor for our country!”

Ignoring the happenings outside, Fatty carefully observed the room. It seemed to be a conference hall three times the size of an ordinary room, devoid of decorations except for a circle of something that looked like garbage.

“Hmm?” Fatty took two steps and felt something was off. He looked again. There seemed to be something in the middle of the circle of tattered things.

Rustle… Clouds of dust were sent floating into the air. After thousands of years of decay, all these things had already turned to dust and crumbled at the slightest touch.

Sweeping away all of the debris, Fatty saw a moldy object lying underneath.

This object seemed to be a painting. He unfurled it to reveal a three-meters by five-meter long parchment. The content was obscured under all that mold.

“Foo, foo!” Fatty blew off the dust and cleaned off a little of the mold. A corner was exposed with some drawings on it. “Could this be some kind of map?”

Curious, Fatty cleaned up a larger area. Drawn on it were a lot of twists and turns with not only trees and roads, but also pictures of various props and humans.

“The Defense Topographic Map of Demonsun Castle,” Fatty read aloud the line that appeared after he completely cleaned the surface. He stroked his chin with his bony claw while deep in thought. The grating ‘kah kah’ sound of bone friction resounded. “A defense topographic map?”

This map was made from some kind of metal, that was why it hadn’t rotted away after several thousand years. Judging from all the mold growing on it, however, it wasn’t far from being completely scrapped.

“Magic Crystal Cannon?” A drawing caught his eye as he randomly scanned through the map. On a patch of wall drawing, an object in the shape of a big cannon was embedded with the mouth pointing outwards.

The appearance was exactly the same as the Magic Crystal Cannon he saw in Iron Chain Town. Apparently, they were the same thing.

“This place used to have a Magic Crystal Cannon?” Fatty was only surprised for a moment before taking this fact for granted. The Demonsun Castle was a flying fortress modeled after Sky City, so it wasn’t unexpected that it had a defensive weapon.

“If the Magic Crystal Cannon is still here…” Fatty had an idea.

“You go over here, you check over there. Quickly search, find out where that boss has run off to. What a weirdo, this is the first time I’ve seen a monster running away from players.”

Voices echoed from outside. Fatty’s eyes swirled as he pocketed the map. He surmised that since there was something like this here, Sky City must have one as well. After he got his class enhancement, it would be time to search around his own city.

Such a big city was impossible to be developed with the effort of one lone man. Fatty had already made plans for land rental, but they should only come into effect after he finished arranging the defense, otherwise, his city might just be invaded one day without his knowledge.
