Chapter 438 Stone Tower

Gilneas City

This small city with a population of under ten thousand people was nothing when compared to cities in the center of the continent

As one of the Sarubo's territories on the outer rim, there wasn't a multipurpose adept's tower here There was only a towerover the past few years Most of their forces were gathered in their core territories For example, the stone tower in Gilneas hadn't seen an adept stationed within it for thirty-seven years

The lack of maintenance had caused the outer walls to become completely covered by vines and the like The two-h for a arden had also been abandoned Only a dried up pond and weeds remained in the flowerbed Withered leaves and dirt covered the stone path from the entrance to the tower It looked as if no one had walked through here in a very long tiht was the desolate scene of ruin presented to Greearden

"Sir, why don't we find an inn to stay in first while we hire some people to clean up this place?" Sabrina's appearance was a little weird, so she always covered herself with a black robe when she went out She talked as she helped Greee

These ignorant fellows didn't know the terror of an adept Even if this toas in disrepair, it was still not a place that ical vines and bloodsucking plants near their homes was a popular defensive ical plants were not only bloodthirsty and cruel; they also had an enduring vitality and wouldn't easily die, even without regular care

Gree through the winding garden

He knocked on the heavy door with his staff, and the face of an old man appeared on the door

"Billis, go and pay a visit to the er of this place I want theht"

Gree out tasks to his two subordinates

The stone tower had three floors The first level here the apprentices and servants lived The second floor had a crude library and alchemical lab, and the third floor was the location of the adept's quarters A spiral staircase connected the three levels in the corner of the tower

It wasn't hard to tell that this place had last been hoo The tower had some defensive measures While apprentices occasionally cay pool remained in a state of depletion
