Chapter 276 Peeling Tower

Xingkong had just put on his smock and covered his skull with the hood when four ghosts floated in front of him.

The ghost in the lead was an old man, with a translucent grayish-white body and a shrewd look on his face: "Foreign traveler! The King of Sorrow has issued an order: Do not attack the undead in the Rotten Court! We have seen what you did. A poor zombie did not provoke you, but you robbed its only property.

If I were you, I would definitely try to escape from here as quickly as possible..."

As they spoke, the four ghosts cast a spell together, and magic formed a sedan between them. The sedan was very simple, a chair with two sticks tied to each side, and there was a stream of death energy rippling on the sedan.

Xingkong thought that his attack just now was very clean and efficient, but he was still discovered unexpectedly. This made him think of a word... The Rotten Royal Court is really "full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers".

It is obvious that these four ghosts are not ordinary low-level undead, especially the old ghost in the lead, who is definitely a high-level hero.

The next thing should be to "spend money to avoid disaster."

"You're right, I have to get out of here as soon as possible. I saw a nice means of transportation, it seems to be very popular in the Rotten Court."

The old ghost made an invitation: "This is the Ghost Express. The Rotten Royal Court is really too big, and taking the Ghost Express will allow you to reach your destination as quickly as possible. Our fee is very cheap, but considering your special situation, this time I will only charge you one gold coin.

We can take you anywhere you wish... within the Royal Court."

A gold coin!
Xingkong knows the price of the ghost flying boat in the Rotten Royal Court. Five silver coins can allow you to travel around the entire royal court.

However, if you don't want to cause more trouble, you have to pay the hush money.

Xingkong popped out a gold coin and walked over to sit on the chair: "Go peel Pita, it's better to be quick."

The ghost old man reached out and grabbed the gold coin, and with his other hand he stretched out his index finger and turned it. A gust of wind was summoned, blowing the gold coin and making a pleasant sound.

"Hehehe..." The old ghost held the gold coin, then opened his hand, and the gold coin disappeared. He and the other three ghosts lifted the sedan chair and said confidently to the starry sky: "Please rest assured, my guest. Our ghost flying boat is famous for its speed in the Rotten King's Court."

Four ghosts carried the simple flying boat up quickly and circled around a tall spire. After finding the direction, the ghost flying boat accelerated and flew forward.

The oncoming wind blew open Starry Sky's hood, revealing a silver metal skull.

After Xingkong put the hood back on, the ghost boat descended rapidly, and then with a beautiful drift, it stopped under a tower of the undead.

The ghost old man bowed to the starry sky: "Sir, the peeling tower has arrived, thank you for your patronage!"

It’s fast enough!

We arrived before we had time to overlook the Rotten King's Court.

But it is also possible that the distance to the Peeling Tower is not far.

Xingkong stood up from his chair and ejected another gold coin: “You should understand what I mean.”

The old ghost happily grabbed the gold coin and summoned the wind to blow it up again. He said with a smile in the pleasant sound: "Don't worry, guest! We are very tight-lipped and will never reveal any information about you to anyone.

My name is Honest Chick. Next time you need a ghost boat, just release this little prop. We are always available, and we are famous for our speed in the Rotten Court!"

The honest man Chick gave Xingkong a small ghost model, which could be felt to be a very clever magic prop.

Xingkong put the model into the shoulder storage slot: "Okay, Chike, next time I need a ghost flying boat, I will definitely find you."

"Call me Honest Chick." The old ghost was very concerned about this name and emphasized it specially.

"Yes, honest Chick."

Chick laughed heartily: "Goodbye, guest, I wish you all the best in the Rotten Court."

Four ghosts took off and disappeared between the towering spires in the air.

Starsky turned to face his destination.

The Skinning Tower is an extra-large tower of the undead. Its ground width reaches 500 meters. The tower is soaring into the clouds in the sky, as if it can reach the moon in the sky.

Such a super-large undead tower is not built, it grows from the ground and takes countless years to grow to this size. Moreover, this kind of undead tower only exists in the royal court, and the number is also very rare. There are only thirteen in the entire Rotten Royal Court. The tallest one is the Rotten Tower, which is also the ruling throne of the Sorrowful King.

The scale of the Skinning Tower ranks fifth among the thirteen super-large undead towers, and the number of undead inside is impossible to count. It also has a feature that there are many creatures living in it, some of which come from various planes. Some of them come to the Land of Death to seek refuge when they are desperate, and some come here to study death out of curiosity about death.

Starsky walked up the steps of the Peeling Tower.

There is no door on the outer layer of the tower, and the material is as smooth as jade. One can feel the extremely powerful death energy contained inside.

As the starry sky approached the tower, a crack appeared and expanded, revealing a passage into the tower.

Walking into the passage, the walls emitted a faint light to provide illumination, so it didn't seem too dark inside. After walking about five or six meters, a door opened from the wall, and walking out led to the interior of the Skin Peeling Tower.

Although this distance is short, one can feel the changes in spatial parameters, just like passing through layers of sticky membranes that constantly change spatial coordinates.

The tower is hollow inside, with a vertical shaft of 100 meters in diameter leading directly to the top of the tower. Each floor of the tower is about 10 meters high, with circular stairs connecting the upper and lower floors. The residents of the Peeling Tower live in these floors, digging materials from the tower to build houses, forming communities.

There are residents who have mastered the skill of flying traveling back and forth in the shafts, which is the most efficient means of transportation.

Residents who don't have the skill to fly don't need to climb the stairs one by one, because the tower has a built-in space teleportation function. Just walk into the open door of the tower, feel the changes in the space coordinates, and leave the tower at the appropriate coordinate area, and you will appear where you want to go.

The stronger your spatial perception ability, the more familiar you are with the interior of the Peeling Tower, and the more accurate your positioning.

This was Xingkong’s first time in the Rotten Royal Court, and naturally his first time entering the Skinning Tower. It was not an easy task to get to where he wanted to go accurately.

Fortunately, money can solve most problems.

Xingkong took out a silver coin, pinched it between his index and middle fingers, and made a sound in the air.

After a while, a shadow moved around him, and a short goblin appeared in front of him. The goblin was only as tall as Xingkong's knees, with sparse hair on his round head.

"I heard the wonderful sound of coins. Where would you like to go, sir?"

Then a few more goblins appeared. When they saw that their companions had taken over the business before them, they teleported away one after another.

Xingkong placed the silver coin in the goblin's outstretched hand and said, "I heard that there is a very skilled barbarian blacksmith in the Skinning Tower. I want him to make a better two-handed sword for me. Do you know where he is?" "Of course I know..." The goblin pinched the silver coin and blew it, then put it to his ear and squinted his eyes to listen, and did not forget to answer: "You must be looking for the barbarian Kyle. Many people come to the Skinning Tower to find him to make armor and weapons. I can take you there, but I can't guarantee that Kyle will accept your order. He is too busy and refuses to accept apprentices... He really doesn't know how to make money."

Xingkong said: "You just need to take me there. Whether Kyle will make weapons for me is my business."

"Follow me." The goblin stuffed the silver coin into his dirty pocket, approached the tower, opened a door, turned around and said to the starry sky: "Follow closely, don't go the wrong way!"

With that the goblin walked in and Starry Sky quickly followed him inside.

Inside the channel are layers of sticky membranes, and the spatial information is constantly changing.

The goblins were jumping around inside, singing strange tunes in the goblin language.

Xingkong learned a little goblin language in the Scorched Earth City Library, and by turning on brain-computer assistance, he could roughly understand the songs sung by the goblins.

It turned out to be a set of formulas.

“Three small jumps, two strides, ten floors up and three floors back.

Swing to the left, shake to the right, and remember not to lose sight of the direction of the moon.

321, 543, 010, the barbarian blacksmith is at 625.

The lost fool cried and earned a silver coin easily. "

When the ballad was finished, the goblin paused and a door opened in the wall next to him.

The goblin jumped out, and when Xingkong came out, he had already identified the current location: "Although there is a slight deviation, we are not far from Kyle's blacksmith shop. We can get there by walking up two floors. This is already a very small error. I am the best goblin guide in the Skinning Tower.

Are you an alchemical being?"

The goblin walked up the circular staircase with Starry Sky, talking nonstop.

Although Xingkong was wearing a smock and a hood to hide his appearance, the goblin was short and his metal skull could be seen from below.

Xingkong replied: "No, I am not an alchemical creature, but a spirit of the dead."

"Undead?" The goblin turned around and walked backwards, observing the starry sky curiously: "A fully metal undead, this is the first time I have seen one.

May I know your name? If my friends knew that I met a metal undead today, they would definitely be very envious. "

"My name is Starry Sky."

"My name is Little Mudworm." The goblin introduced himself: "I am a goblin rogue. If the barbarian Kyle agrees to make weapons for you, you will have to stay in the Skinning Tower for a long time. If you encounter any problems here in the future, you can come to me. Our goblin rogue group is very powerful here."

Xingkong opened the shoulder storage slot and took out a piece of cheese. The cheese was wrapped in oil paper, and when he peeled off the oil paper, the milky aroma immediately spread.

"Hello, little mudworm. I think I will definitely need help from you goblin thieves in the future. This piece of cheese is my gift to you. If you have any important information, please inform me as soon as possible."

The smell of milk pulled the goblin's nose over, and the little mud worm, walking backwards, sniffed the cheese in a very exaggerated posture.

"This is cheese! It smells so good! Are you sure you want to give it to me? This is just a ridiculous dream."

"Of course it is real. As long as you provide me with information, it will be yours."

The little mudworm took the cheese in both hands and licked it with his tongue. The satisfaction made him close his eyes and moan: "Don't talk about intelligence. I would give my life to you to eat such delicious cheese!"

The little mudworm knew very well how much money such a big piece of cheese could be exchanged for in the peeling tower, and it was definitely enough to buy his life.

Xingkong said: "I don't want your life, I just want the information."

"Leave it to me!" The little mudworm carefully rewrapped the cheese and put it inside his inner clothes. Finally, he touched it in disbelief. After confirming that it was still there, he said to the starry sky: "If the barbarian Kyle doesn't make weapons for you, I will go and put out his furnace fire every day."

The goblin was even happier after getting a piece of cheese, and he quickly found the barbarian's blacksmith shop with Xingkong.

Master Raem said that the Barbarian Kael's blacksmith shop was located on the 37th floor of the Skinning Tower. On the surface, he was a blacksmith who was good at making armor and weapons. His other identity was a member of the Azure Society, belonging to the Rotten King's Court Liaison Station, and he was deeply trusted by Master Raem.

This time when Xingkong came to the Rotten Royal Court to develop the inside line here, the first person Master Laem thought of was him.

Master Raem had saved Kyle before, and his barbarian nature made Kyle very loyal to Master Raem. Master Raem's trust in Kyle even exceeded that of Mondorali.

When Xingkong saw Kyle, this extremely muscular barbarian was bare-chested and violently hammering at a red-hot iron ingot. Every time the hammer, as big as a human head, fell, iron flowers flew, and many hot iron flowers splashed on Kyle's body, but he continued to swing the hammer and smash down without noticing.

Outside Kyle's blacksmith shop, Xingkong also saw several people who were obviously dressed as players.

They are constantly talking to Kyle, trying to trigger the plot of this barbarian blacksmith.

"Master Kyle, this piece of mine is a very rare piece of Yakhan Star Iron. As long as you accept me as your apprentice, I will give this piece of Star Iron to you."

Kyle didn't respond and continued hammering the iron ingot.

"Master Kyle, can you make a knife for me? No matter what materials you need, I can find them. You can name your price!"

Kyle continued hammering away at the ingot.

"Master Kyle, do you need charcoal? I can buy it for you..."

"..."

Barbarian Kyle was already used to being harassed by adventurers every day, and he knew that the more he drove them away, the more they would bother him. The best way to deal with these adventurers was to ignore them and wait for them to leave naturally when they got impatient.

So no matter what the players say, Kyle won't respond unless they come in. If they dare to come in, they will be greeted by a ruthless hammer.

After dying several times, the players knew the safe distance and kept testing outside the blacksmith shop.

Xingkong grabbed the little mud worm and hid in a dark corner. It would be better not to be discovered by the players this time. The players were all very smart. If they found out that there was really a hidden plot here, they would not be able to get rid of it no matter how hard they tried.
