章 259: Lookout

Jay and his troops crept through the forest towards Handy, but as Jay got closer he didn’t see any signs of a castle or anything of the sort.

It would have been hard to see through the thick canopy, yet there would have still been glimpses of a dark monument looming through the leaves.

“Huh… no castle? So why did Handy stop…”

As they reunited with Handy, they walked a little further and finally Jay noticed a structure up ahead.

It was nothing like a castle, being far too small, almost insignificant in this forest.

Large slabs of granite covered with moss formed the base of a lonesome tower, peaking only just above the trees.

The creeping roots of the forest crawled up its walls, but were not large or numerous enough to threaten the tower, only making it half-way up its sides.

At the base were three more of the knights, and nearby them was a large pit of which Jay couldn’t see the bottom from where he was looking.
