The nightmare horse stopped under the mountain.

It was the first night, and the moon was on the treetops, making the mountain not far away look mysterious, as if it was an ancient guard staring at another uninvited guest.

I heard that there were also necessary patrol soldiers on the peaks around the excavation site, but Ash Rufate had not seen any patrol personnel for such a long time.

He waited for a while. A burst of sound came from the grass in front of him, and then Mimilu rushed out of the grass.

"How is it, Mimilu?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"That cliff is not easy to climb." Mimilu replied while cleaning up the dead branches of various shrubs, burrs and dead grass on her hair. "But for Mimilu, it's still a trivial matter!"

Although Mimilu said this, it didn't seem easy to see her physical condition at all. With dark vision, Ash Rufat could see Mimilu sweating. Ash Rufat knew Mimilu's ability very well. If Mimilu gave an evaluation of "not easy to climb", it means that with the power of human beings, it would be difficult to climb if there were ropes. No wonder the alert power here is not strong. Even with external assistance, it would be too difficult to climb out at night.

In other words, even Ash Rufate himself, it is challenging to climb over this mountain cliff.

"Master, it would be great if you had a flying mount..." Carrie said in his mind. "It's a pity that with your current strength, it's too difficult to fly with magic. So I said you should practice more magic..."

"Don't talk about the past." Ashu Rufate interrupted Carrie's complaint. Sometimes Carrie's behavior is very similar to a person - a woman - but at other times, she will be absolutely calm and rational to deal with the problem that humans cannot achieve.

"Then, you can only climb in from the wall as planned." Ashu Rufate whispered.

They came straight from Meno City. To be honest, Istria is worse than Meno. The only feeling that Asu Ruffat along the way is poverty and hardship, and ignorance.

The excavation site is actually easy to find - there is a direct road here, and there are even road signs on the main road. However, when you arrive at the gate of the excavation site, you will find that it is not so hospitable. Ashu Rufate is the kind of person who "has no proof", so he is normally refused entry by the guard.

However, this was expected. After Ash Rufate was rejected, he circled the perimeter along the road, hoping to find a more convenient road. However, the facts proved that his efforts failed. The area in front of him was already the easiest mountain to climb, but Mimilu proved that it was difficult to climb.

Before dawn, he circled back to the gate of the excavation site.

"That wall... is already considered a city wall, far exceeding the need of an 'excavation site'." Ashu Rufate asked Carrie casually in his heart. The wall in the distance is really conspicuous. Only castles or giant cities used as military fortresses will build such tall city walls. What's even better is that there have been special treatments outside this city wall, which is very slippery. Although it is nothing to half beasts, for other invaders, let alone climbing with bare hands. Even if you climb the rope, you cannot borrow strength on the city wall.

"Well, it's really the size of the city wall. It's too extravagant for prisoners. It's almost the same for dealing with the army." Carrie also agreed with Ashu Rufate's view.

Have you been prepared for military attack from the beginning? These guys from the church are really visionary.

"Master, find a way to go in before dawn." Carrie suggested.

With Mimilu, it is really not difficult to climb up the city wall. Mimilu climbed up the city wall, threw the rope down, and then Ashu Rufate quickly climbed up. He noticed that the guards here were very lazy and were not active in patrolling. From Mimilu, they started climbing the city wall and Ashu Rufate up, but they didn't see any movement.

Perhaps it is the consequence of long-term comfort and peace. In fact, building such good fortifications is not necessarily a good thing, but this makes the guard lose his vigilance.

In fact, the slackness of the guards was even more exaggerated than Ashrufate had expected. When Ashrufate was walking down the stairs on the wall, he encountered several sentries who had died of sleeping with long halberds. He walked over in front of them, but the guards were completely unaware of it. Behind these sleeping sentries was a team of patrol soldiers busy throwing dice under the light of torches. They shouted very lively, but they didn't go to patrol.

"Oh! What's going on?! I'm so lucky today! I lose like this?!" Ashu Rufat heard a patrolman shouting hysterically, and it seemed that he had lost a lot of money.

"Hehe, the military pay for half a year is gone." Someone laughed.

"You sold ten female slaves last time. Didn't you say it famously... If you are proud of your business, you will be disappointed in the casino, right?" Another voice teased. "Don't you have a lot on your side? Or do you want to keep it for yourself?"

Ashu Rufate bypassed them at a very close distance. The patrolmen who were immersed in gambling and chatting did not notice that strangers easily crossed their cordon.

The main forces of the excavation site are divided into three parts. There are about 500 defenders stationed at the entrance, and there are about 3500 guards in various areas, but at least 2,000 soldiers are stationed in the castle, and even a whole team of sacred knights are as core forces. This information is the result of Ashrufate's inquiry in the city of Meno and along the road (also marked on the map). This arrangement cannot be said to be unreasonable, but it is obviously aimed at a large number of invaders, or internal prisoners. If someone can pass through the entrance alone without attracting the attention of the defenders, it means that he can move freely anywhere except the castle. Even if he is discovered, he is facing only three, five, and up to ten detention centers.

The facts fully confirmed this judgment. After dawn, Ashu Rufate found that he had arrived at the farm. The prisoners in charge of farming were led by the two guards by the two guards. The guards looked at Ashu Rufate for a moment, but Ashu Rufate took the initiative to say hello to them. His calmness and his dressing calmed the two guards, making them mistakenly think that he was also an insider who had something to pass by. Ashu Rufate walked over in front of the entire team without causing any trouble.

"Master, it seems very close to the place where the 'White Bear' is." Carrie reminded in her mind.

The location indicated on the map is roughly here. Baron Pinold's rebels used to contact the "White Bear". However, it seems that it is just a small high slope on the side of the road (the main road leading to the inner castle at the entrance of the excavator). There is a lonely small house on the slope.

This place looks a bit weird. It would be too stupid to say it is an observation outpost and it is completely unnecessary. If you want to say other uses - but what is the purpose of such a lonely little house? It looks a bit weird.

And that time, Cade specifically emphasized that the White Bear "maybe" here, that is, it may not be here.

From the perspective of the field, it should be that all the messengers sent from the past met with the White Bear here. From this point of view, the White Bear should be a guardian rather than a prisoner. If it is a prisoner, it is impossible to freely leave the place where he is working to meet the messenger.

No matter what, let’s go to the cabin first. And there was no one in the field of view at this time, and moving towards the other side would not attract anyone’s attention.

"Master, do you feel it?" Carrie suddenly said in her mind after she had just walked halfway through the road.

"What do you feel?" Ashu Rufate asked back.

"This place... has an abnormal energy pulsation." Carrie's voice revealed a certain kind of uneasiness. "This kind of powerful thought that remains... This kind of resentment and resentment... Master, if I'm not wrong, this should be a cemetery!"

As he spoke, Ashu Rufate had already reached the top of the slope, in front of the cottage. Carrie's judgment was completely correct. At this time, he saw a dense tombstone in front of him - the cheapest wooden tombstone that would rot and decay in two or three years, usually bought by the government for the execution of prisoners or unknown corpses. The area of ​​this highland looks much larger than the bottom, and the tombstone group cannot be seen at first glance, and there are at least tens of thousands. There are also fragments of decayed and scattered tombstones everywhere, indicating that there are far more dead here than the tombstones.

Even if anyone who has experienced many wars and seen the sea of ​​corpses and blood, he can't help but feel everything in front of him and silently looks around the cemetery for a moment.

A gust of wind blew towards us, as if mixed with the cry of ghosts, hovering in my ears, and not going for a long time.

Ashu Rufate walked forward a few steps and accidentally kicked a fresh tombstone. The piece of wood fell down, pried open a pile of floating soil, and exposed the hand of a dead man from the soil. It can be seen that these tombs were dug very casually and very shallow. Perhaps even the people who dug the tombs were too busy, so they went in a hurry.

"Master, there is a biological reaction!" Carrie reminded in her mind. "There is someone in that hut."

Ashu Rufate drove away the distracting thoughts in his mind and walked towards the cottage. The door of the cottage was closed, but as he approached the cottage, he heard a sound, and it seemed that the person in the cottage had knocked down something.

To put it this way, "White Bear" is actually looking at the graveman? Ashu Rufat thought so in his heart, and then reached out to knock on the door.

The door did not respond at all.

Although Ashu Rufate was sure that the person in the room must have heard the knock on the door (unless he was deaf), the door was locked and refused to open. Having said that, it was not uncommon for the gravekeeper to be deaf.

"This lock is very simple." Carrie reminded. Indeed, it is impossible to install a complex and solid lock for this simple wooden door. Ashu Rufate pulled out his long sword and pried it open with a light pry. The wooden door opened with a "creak".

"I am..." Ashu Rufate put his sword into the sheath and walked into the cottage. He was about to introduce his origin, but he heard a strong wind blowing in his ears.

Ash Rufate shook his body in an instant, avoiding the dagger attacking from the side. He reached out and grabbed the wrist of the sneak attacker, twisted it with superman power, forcing the other party to drop the dagger in his hand.

The attack just now was fast and fierce, and it was aimed at the vital points of the neck. If it were another person, the sneak attacker might have succeeded.

The attacker refused to admit his failure. Although Ashu Rufate grabbed the opponent's wrist, a powerful kick hit him hard on the abdomen. Ashu Rufate admitted that the kick was very powerful. If it were an ordinary person, he would bend down due to severe pain. But he was not an ordinary person. This kick did not have any effect, but only made him add three points of force. Under this force that could almost break the human arm, the attacker let out a painful cry. "Woo..."

"Female?" The sound from the sneak attacker's mouth stunned him.
