"Poor ghost!"
George searched the sentinel tower thoroughly and couldn't help shaking his head as he stepped out.
Throughout the entire sentinel tower, along with those bandits, he only found less than three hundred Seputins.
It can be understood that bandits lived a life of blood and knife, perhaps today they are having a good time, but tomorrow they may have their heads cut off.
So they basically spend as much money as they have, and won't leave too much savings on them.
Only those larger bands of bandits, with their own hidden strongholds, might accumulate a large amount of wealth.
The bandits on this side of the sentinel tower, according to what people in the town said last night, are newly-arrived bandits.
Because the bandits who did evil last time have been cleaned up by the snow mantle city.
These bandits usually have weak strength and few numbers, at most thirty to forty people. They may stay on this side of the sentinel tower for a while, but before the snow mantle city sends troops to clean them up again, they will scatter to other places.
"This way is too roundabout."
Twisting his head, George did not follow Kaimila's previous instructions and headed towards the winding path on the right of the sentinel tower that stretched into infinity.
Instead, he exerted his legs with a sudden burst of energy and jumped straight up from the spot.
The Forgotten Tomb and the Wild Waterfall were right above the sentinel tower. If he had taken the normal path to the right, he would have had to walk at least a few times the distance.
Though he couldn't use magic to fly up, he could still jump.
With his current physical body, if he gave it his all to jump, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to go from the riverwood town at the base of the mountain to the top of the Worldhowl Mountain.
The challenge is to control the force and avoid overshooting.
Suddenly, the ground beneath George's feet cracked open into terrifying fissures, and his figure shot out like a rocket.
At the edge of the Forgotten Tomb, which was 3,000 meters high, two archers were keeping watch in the cold, rubbing their hands together.
They were originally a band of outlaws roaming in Phukreis.
A week ago, a black elf who had just joined them gave their leader a piece of information.
He said that the Golden Claw in the trading firm of Snow Mantle at Riverwood Town could open the ancient treasure of the Gnoden noble family within the Forgotten Tomb.
So the leader brought them to Riverwood Town and temporarily camped inside the sentinel tower. They had snuck down the mountain and stolen the Golden Claw a few days ago.
However, before they were ready to enter the Forgotten Tomb in search of the treasure, that cunning black elf stealthily stole the Golden Claw from the leader's hand and entered the Forgotten Tomb alone.
It was clear that the black elf intended to keep the treasure for himself.
So the leader left some people behind in the sentinel tower and took most of the bandits with him into the tomb to kill the black elf.
The three of them were stationed at the entrance to prevent the black elf from sneaking out around the leader.
"What sound?"
The two archers with sharp ears suddenly heard a piercing sound from below. They immediately stiffened, alertly drew their bows and arrows, and looked down.
They dimly saw a black spot appear below, and the black spot was rapidly expanding.
"It's a person!"
When the black spot suddenly turned out to be a person, the two archers were startled and immediately aimed their bows to attack.
But before they could even aim their arrows, the shadow had already flashed past them and landed on the ancient tomb plaza behind them.
"From this close, it's really quite impressive. I can imagine that the main occupant of the tomb must have had a high status in life."
George's knees bent slightly to absorb the impact of his landing and he began turning his head to survey his surroundings.
It wasn't very obvious in the game, but upon taking a close look at the entrance to the Forgotten Tomb in reality, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
Just the plaza in front of the tomb is almost as big as a football field of the previous era, and there are various large sculptures and decorations.
The gate of the ancient tomb in the distance was as tall as five meters.
To build such a grand tomb, the occupant must have been at least a lord.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two iron arrows shot towards George's back.
It was those two archers who had recovered and launched an attack on George.
At the same time, the giant sword fighters standing guard at the entrance of the tomb roared and charged towards George.
After one breath, the three bandits lay neatly on the plaza, and George stuffed thirty Seputins into his pocket before pushing open the door and stepping into the Forgotten Tomb.
The Gnoden people hate magic and worship warriors, so most of them are rather rough.
The Gnoden bandits are the same.
Any moderately intelligent bandit would know that a person who could jump up from the mountain must be a master they couldn't handle.
They wouldn't dare attack, they would run away immediately.
If the three bandits had really run away, George wouldn't have bothered to kill them.
"It seems that the zombies have quite a deadly effect on ordinary bandits."
As soon as he stepped into the main hall of the tomb, George saw that eight bandits had fallen dead, but only two zombie bodies lay nearby.
That meant the bandit leader had brought more than twenty bandits to kill the black elf who had stolen the Golden Claw.
As soon as he entered, George encountered two zombie ghosts in the front hall. Over twenty bandits surrounded and beat the two zombies, and it took the death of eight underlings to deal with them.
It's also reasonable to think that if zombies were as easy to defeat as in the game, these Gnoden tombs would have been robbed long ago.
Especially a famous tomb like the Forgotten Tomb.
"Hmm, it's gathering energy, it seems to be able to repair itself automatically."
Walking up to the two zombie bodies that had been dealt with, George sensed that the magical patterns around the tomb were flickering, and dark energy was slowly gathering and pouring into the zombies.
The parts of the zombie that had been damaged began to slowly repair themselves as the dark energy poured in.
He estimated that in about two days, the two zombies would be fully restored and would once again serve as guards in the front hall.
"That's why no one has been able to break in for so long."
Seeing this, George suddenly realized something.
He had just been thinking that even if the zombies in the Forgotten Tomb were as dangerous as they seemed, then over so many years, with so many adventurers coming to seek the treasure...
Each time they kill a zombie, they should also have used up all the zombies.
Now it seemed that unless they solved all the zombies in the Forgotten Tomb at once, they would not be able to reach the main tomb chamber at the end, take out the burial items and the legendary treasure.
After passing through the front hall, George continued deeper into the tomb.
On his way, George did not see any actual zombie ghosts, but he did see many bandit corpses. They all died from various traps in the tomb.
The tomb is much larger and more complex than in the game. It's not a straight path from start to finish, but there are many, many branching paths.
However, this posed no challenge for George, as he could use his sense of hearing and smell to accurately locate the positions of the thieves.
If it really became a maze, he could just punch through the wall in front of him to keep moving forward.
As for whether this would cause the tomb to collapse?
This ancient tomb, dug into the mountain, is surrounded by hard rock, so it's not easily going to collapse.
If it really collapsed, it's no problem for him, but it will be more difficult for him to collect the burial items.
