Chapter 171 Different castle

After putting away everything that I got from this treasury, I went back out to where Wang Rong and Iris were. The moment that I stepped out, I just waved my hand at them while saying, "We're leaving this place." They didn't question me as they followed me away from this place. The looks in their eyes showed that they understood why I was in a hurry to leave this place. After what happened earlier, there was no doubt that there would be people slowly making their way back to check what was happening in this place. But there was no need for us to face those people, so it was better to leave this place as soon as possible. But after leaving that place, I didn't stop. That was because I said to one of the ogres, "Lead us to where your leader is." The leader of the ogres would no doubt be one of Elite Monsters that were in this dungeon just like the leader of the gnomes. So I wanted to take a look at this leader of the ogres. I didn't have my doubt that the same situation as before would happen where another one of the top contenders would be there, but I still wanted to take a look. Especially since I had no clues about the goal of this dungeon. We had received a hint about the location of the Boss Monster, but none of us had been able to figure out just what that hint meant. So perhaps it was better to see if anyone else knew anything about this. At first, the ogres had the same reaction as the gnome where there was bloodline suppression on them. Even if they wanted to obey my orders, it didn't seem like they were able to because their bloodline suppressed them from acting freely. But in the end, they couldn't resist the hypnosis of the Echo Bat. Even if their bloodlines suppressed them, the hypnosis of the Echo Bat made them fall into a trance before they started leading the way. As for why I chose the ogres over the flying manta rays, it was simply because the territory of the ogres was closer to this place than the territory of the manta rays. It would be faster to reach the place where we had come across the ogres. Along the way, there were a few sets of living armour and a few ogres that appeared in our path. They made perfect additions to our group since we had lost some of our troops during the fight with the Master Gnome. No, with the number of ogres and sets of living armour added, we had greater numbers than before. At the same time, I had a test with these monsters and it seemed that they were able to reload the guns that I had gotten from the armoury. It was harder for the sets of living armour since they had to use the mana of the gnome that controlled them. So there was a limit to how many of the sets of armour could be armed with guns. Still, it wasn't a small amount and it created a good ratio of those with guns and those that fought in close range. It surprisingly made them a very good balanced unit that would be able to fight against anyone that came at them. So I chose to only give half of the ogres guns as well since that would make them more effective. While this was happening, we seemed to enter a different part of the castle. Well, it wasn't really a different part of the castle since it was still connected to the main castle. It was just that the decor of this place made it seem like it was a completely different castle. The corridors that we had been in before were those made of stone bricks that made one think of a medieval castle. But now we were in a place that had wooden floors and tatami doors that made one think of a Japanese castle. This place should be the territory of the ogres, but the dungeon really change that drastically just to match one of the types of monsters that lived in it. It really didn't seem to make sense… Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire Also, the sudden shift was something strange too. It wasn't a gradual change from the stone walls to the wooden walls, there was one line in between the stone walls and the wooden walls that suddenly changed the decor. It went from western to eastern in an instant that it really seemed strange… "Just what kind of castle is this?" I could hear Wang Rong muttering under his breath behind me and I couldn't help agreeing with him. It really seemed like this was too sudden of a change. The other thing that we noticed was off was the fact that there were less monsters that were wandering around. There were still ogres that wandered these hallways, but there were far less than we expected. It seemed that there was something that was drawing them away or something that had taken care of them before we arrived. And as we expected, there was indeed something that had done that. There was another large gathering of people in the place that we were being led to. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At the center of this large gathering was a large ogre that looked much bigger and scarier than the rest of the ogres. At the same time, there were these flames that seemed to wrap around this ogre like a robe. It really seemed like this was an ogre made of flames. No, it shouldn't be right to call this thing an ogre since the mana fluctuations that it released showed that it was a monster that was at a higher level than a normal ogre. If I remember correctly, once the ogre passed a certain point, it would evolve into a creature that was known as a Kijin. So this thing should be a Kijin instead of an ogre.
