After Lorraine entered the small door, she found that the space inside was much brighter than she had imagined.

As a partition at the city gate, it was surprisingly built in a magnificent manner.

The entrance is in an inconspicuous corner; this must be the castle gatehouse.

Next to it is a three-tiered spiral staircase resembling a corridor.

The chandeliers hanging high overhead have steady candlelight and emit a faint scent of grease... These ever-burning lamps seem to be made from locally sourced materials!

......

Vincent has disappeared...

......

Lorraine hesitated for only a second, and she lost track of Vincent.

The other party led him into Shadowfang Keep, wasn't it supposed to be to a high point in the castle to better scout out enemy positions?

Lorraine believed such a simple excuse.

.......

The teacher couldn't really comment; the true intention of the master and apprentice was to find the eyes.

Lorraine must come in no matter what.

Vincent is a Forsaken dressed as an undead sentinel...

Judging from their identification, they should be one of our own.

Now that he has suddenly disappeared, Lorraine is worried that Vincent may have encountered an enemy!

......

Quickly follow the spiral staircase and climb up the wall.

I had only taken two steps when I heard heavy breathing!

Looking up, Lorraine noticed that each level of the spiral staircase had a small platform, and these platforms were filled with hay...

Looking down the stairs, you can see several wolf-like wild animals, each the size of an adult, dozing in the hay.

......

Is this the animal pen?

Feeding guard dogs?

Less than ten steps away from Lorraine, three black dire wolves were sleeping.

Lorraine didn't want to wake them; it would be best to sneak in quietly...

......

There are three floors in total, and several wolves are lurking on each floor...

These are the enemies we can see; through the teacher's intuition, there are even more enemies upstairs...

Above the three-story pavilion, there were fluctuations from at least a dozen life forms.

Most of them are wild animals...

A few can only be perceived when you get close.

......

The city wall and pavilion were completely sealed off from all sides.

The outer city walls were all built of thick stone blocks, and the only windows on the outer corridor of the pavilion all opened into the inner courtyard.

The outer layer is completely sealed...

To break through the stone wall from the outside, one must find that it is at least several meters thick, making it an impregnable fortress.

......

"Sigh, apprentice, there's still a familiar scent upstairs!"

"Is it Vincent's, teacher?"

"No, no, no, it's like we've seen it before, but I can't quite place whose scent it is. Not just one, but several..."

......

It seems that infiltrating silently is a pipe dream; a battle is inevitable...

This castle has a rather complex design.

The castle is divided into several areas, each with its own entrance.

Even if the outer layer is breached, a counterattack can still be organized from the inside.

If you really can't beat them, you can use layers of barriers!

The design is reasonable, but its shortcomings are also obvious.

The connections between the regions are not very strong.

......

In other words, it's not easy for other areas to quickly get news of what's happening here!

As long as you move fast enough, you can prevent the enemy from escaping.

People inside the city gate tower couldn't detect any activity on it either!

......

There must be an exit leading to the inner plaza from the attic; Lorraine had already glimpsed a doorway at the end of the porch.

But the large padlock on the door was clearly visible, and the key must be with the guard inside the building!

He stealthily retreated downstairs... and crept towards the sleeping wolfhounds...

......

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps came from below the attic, as if a group of wild animals were running up the stairs!

In the attic corridor, two white-headed werewolves turned around...

At their feet was a transparent ghost wolf, baring its teeth warily.

Its translucent body is shorter than that of a regular black wolf, and its senses are much stronger.

They sensed the presence of their own kind!

......

There are probably more than ten live black wolves being kept downstairs...

When the Black Wolf's soul is extracted by Arugal, it will form the Ghost Wolf at the werewolf's feet.

While it possesses a unique undead enslavement magic, its combat power is far inferior to the necromancer Thule's rotten-skinned gnolls...

Arugal's abilities are inferior to those of the necromancer Thule, yet he calls himself an archmage...

This 'Grand Master' is not the same concept as a real Grand Master...

A true grand mage can be worth an entire army.

Arugal's skill level is at most limited to some forbidden summoning spells. He's only a mid-level mage; he calls himself an archmage because he enslaves a large army of werewolves!

......

Two white-headed werewolves, along with a small ghost wolf cub, were followed by more than ten skeleton beasts that pounced on all fours.

Despite their precautions, they were easily torn apart.

The commotion attracted the attention of several werewolves in other locations, but by the time they reacted, more skeleton beasts had already taken the initiative.

......

Lorraine walked contentedly to the corpse of the Moonfury werewolf and began collecting its vengeful spirits...

Even after the ghost wolf cub dies, its spirit remains.

Lorraine tried to absorb them, but found that not only could she not absorb their spirits after they died, she also performed a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife on the spot.

The ghost wolf vanished in a wisp of green smoke, but the werewolf's vengeful spirit was absorbed by his runic right eye...

He guessed that these ghost wolves were already vengeful spirits, and that their spirits did not dissipate even after being killed again because of Arugal's vicious magic imprisoning them.

His right eye essentially freed the ghost wolf.

The rune in the right eye is quite picky about souls; it won't absorb those of poor quality, and will even give them away directly...

Destroyed...

......

The right eye rune's ability is quite strange; even now, Lorraine doesn't fully understand how to use it...

Could the teacher's eyes be like the rune's right eye?

......

He quietly retreated downstairs and used a skinning knife to slit the neck of the sleeping black wolf.

They were resurrected on the spot into skeletal beasts, with one specifically tied up as a target...

The remaining skeleton beasts were transformed one by one, and none of the enslaved black wolves in the three-tiered beast pen escaped...

......

Once the upstairs area was cleaned up, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief.

The current commotion is not significant; the walls of the city gate are too thick to allow any noise to escape.

Lorraine had already gone to check and block that doorway.

Sure enough, there was a complex lock on the door, which couldn't be pried open by hand no matter how hard I tried.

......

Lorraine reminisced about the days when his necromantic power surged, and his physical strength was immense.

It seems like it's actually been weakened now...

This was actually his illusion; he had indeed become stronger.

But this is inside Shadowfang Keep, where the dire wolf guards and werewolf soldiers are all monsters.

.......

The werewolf's strength far surpasses that of an ordinary human; his strength has simply increased to the point where he is stronger than an ordinary human.

When facing real magical beasts, you still need to rely on magic to fight!

......

"Quick, Lorraine. I remember there's a dungeon here. The key to the dungeon is with the dungeon guard, who seems to be locked up inside. There's a formidable guy in the dungeon too!"

The teacher's reminder brought Lorraine back to her senses.

He walked to the corner of the corridor and looked down. Sure enough, there was a staircase not far from the door.

Below are rows of prison cells.

A familiar face was standing at the prison gate, watching him! He was also holding a key in his hand...

......

This man is Vincent, the vanished undead sentinel.
