The Ancient Castle (Part 2)

Hai Wentian, standing on the tower of the Tolly family castle, still had an sunny smile on his face.

However, his eyes shone with unknown light, making his face look strange.

A few steps behind Hai Wentian stood a burly man in full armor with his face covered by a helmet. He very respectfully asked, "Sir, is such a little kid worth spending so much on?"

Hai Wentian glanced back and continued to look at the ancient castle in the distance, but his palm, which had been in his sleeve, stretched out of his pocket.

Between his white and slender fingers, a round stone was jumping on his fingertips, played with by him.

"He is indeed a wizard. Although the probing stone cannot determine his current level, he must have a very powerful teacher." Putting the white probing stone back in his pocket, Hai Wentian hesitated but explained, "A little investment is likely to bring a powerful old wizard, which is a very cost-effective investment."

The knight behind Hai Wentian still muttered, "But...what if he doesn't have a teacher at all?"

Hai Wentian, with a bright smile on his face again, turned around and looked at the burly man wrapped in steel armor and said with a smile, "The old monster in Heihe Valley will uncover his old bottom. You just need to do your job."

At the end, Hai Wentian's tone became a little stern. The momentum of the knight behind him could not help but stagnate, and he immediately lowered his head.

The respectful attitude of the nearly two-meter-tall burly knight satisfied Hai Wentian, who waved his hand and turned back to look at the ancient castle in the distance. A confused expression appeared on his face, muttering to himself, "According to the legend of the family, Lady Heilim did not disappear. Could it be because no one with the blood of wizards has entered the ancient castle?"

Hai Wentian standing on the terrace of the castle did not know that there was also a person standing on the terrace of the ancient castle in the distance.

Raymond, with a calm face, could barely see the Tolly family castle roughly with the help of the far-sight function of the chip, although he could not hear the dialogue between Hai Wentian and the burly knight.

"How is the analysis of what I ate at noon?" Thinking of the kind of girlish scream from his stomach, Raymond felt nauseous.

"Task completed, analysis is as follows..."

Rows of data appeared in sight. Looking at the conclusion of "promoting blood circulation and strengthening yang" under the "effect" column, Raymond smiled bitterly.

For a 14-year-old body, such potent tonic was really too much for Raymond.

All afternoon, the little tent supported by the lower body kept reminding him from time to time.

The six young, beautiful and graceful maids glanced at him with some evasion. Even after leaving him, they would make ambiguous laughter.

The extremely wronged Raymond could not control this, let alone the idea of condemning the maids on the spot.

Frowning, Raymond turned and returned to his room.

Today, Hai Wentian of the Tolly family brought him confusion, and the bedridden city owner Armisa made him unable to understand.

Although he did not know much about this world, Hai Wentian's attitude today was a bit too much.

A family ancient castle, full servants and guards, and even gold coins were prepared for him.

In the caravan, Raymond knew that an ordinary carter's salary was only one gold coin a year. For an ordinary family of three, an annual expense of half a gold coin was enough to make ends meet.

The box of gold coins in the middle of the room contained as many as 500 coins. If according to the salary of ordinary guards, this money was enough for the Tolly family to support a team of 50 people.

Shaking his head, Raymond could not understand such treatment just because of the badge on his chest.

But according to Heige and Hai Wentian of the Tolly family, Raymond could feel their innate respect and awe when communicating with them. Those more ordinary carters would not be able to collaborate to play such a long show in front of Raymond.

Therefore, the root cause of all this seemed to lie in the wizard power represented by this badge.

Carefully taking off the badge hanging on his chest, the badge in Raymond's palm emitted faint radiation. The workmanship was not exquisite.

Even the material of this badge was very ordinary.

But why could an ordinary material badge emit radiation all the time? Even the chip could not give a reasonable explanation due to incomplete information.

Lost in thought, suddenly the butler's voice came from the door.

"Sir, the basement of the ancient castle has been cleaned up. Do you want to see it now?" Silently, the butler did not know when he appeared at the door and asked very respectfully.

Putting the badge in his pocket, Raymond said lightly, "Lead the way."

Following the spiral staircase inside the ancient castle, the butler holding the oil lamp led Raymond to the basement.

On a large bronze door, exquisite patterns were engraved. After sending Raymond here, the butler left on his own initiative. Only the maid who had been in charge of the basement for a long time was left here to wait for orders.

Through the open door, Raymond entered the brightly lit basement. Looking at the spacious basement, Raymond quickly beckoned to the maid at the door.

With respectful salutes, the maid in rags walked up. She was the most beautiful one in the ancient castle. Her obsidian pupils showed a trace of curiosity and restraint.

"How long has this place not been opened?"

"Sir, the things in this basement have always existed. According to the rules of the ancient castle, I need to clean it once a week."

Nodding, Raymond inspected the more than 200 square meters basement and then let the maid leave first. Raymond was a little curious about the things in this basement.

Crystal bottles and jars, granite mortars, small alcohol lamps, and even scattered books in the bookcase.

Strange crystal instruments, water pipes, washing basins, and pools. If Raymond had not seen a microscope in the room, he would really have thought this was a chemical laboratory.

Dozens of candles as thick as arms acted as lighting, illuminating every detail of the entire room.

Squinting, Raymond quickly discovered that the positions of these candles were very reasonable. There were no corners at all in the entire room, just like the shadowless lamps in the operating room, leaving no shadows in the basement.

What was this basement used for?

Frowning, Raymond thought silently.
