Bathroom?
Husen's mouth twitched, he turned his head to look at Karun. "What did you design this for?"
Actually, designing this doesn't take much effort, including the design of the castle's exterior. It just requires some deduction, and the cost is not high.
At least, it is much simpler than Masu's initial suggestion of directly carving the formation on the outer wall. Because the formation is not simply "carved". Just like it is impossible to activate the effect by using a bunch of cement to build the formation pattern, the formation is a delicate and invisible engineering project.
However, before Karun could explain, Mawaraya spoke up:
"Usually, the use of the Black Prison Castle is in emergency situations, especially for those who are about to enter the Gate of Reincarnation for trials. Their main purpose is exploration rather than attack. So, using the castle is highly likely in the form of being attacked or having teammates injured.
Having an additional bathroom in the castle can effectively accommodate injured teammates and better treat their wounds."
Karun immediately said, "That's what the mentor said, and that's how I considered it."
Husen blinked and coughed, saying, "Oh, I see."
"This castle is very good." Mawaraya praised, "Have you studied architecture before?"
Actually, the scroll of that magical inscription includes "architectural drawings", but it would be too disrespectful to the professionals if a layman could build a house just by looking at the drawings.
But Karun can deduce with the Key of the Magic Cube, which is equivalent to visualizing it in his mind during construction, reducing the difficulty of his operation through a large number of calculations.
"In response to the mentor's words, I have designed and built a residence before."
"Oh, I really want to appreciate it." "It's a funeral ceremony."
"Well, it must be more artistic."
Mawaraya pointed to the black ball and said, "Let's start. For the first time, I need to help you communicate and confirm." "Yes, mentor."
Karun reached out and grabbed the small black ball. "Don't resist the spiritual power it sends to you, actively welcome it."
"Understood, mentor."
After the spiritual power made contact, Karun's consciousness began to be pulled. Soon, he found himself standing on a quaint platform, with Mawaraya standing beside him.
However, Mawaraya at this time was covered with a vague black shadow.
Karun noticed that Mawaraya was looking up, so he also looked up and saw an extremely huge sickle. Its existence seemed to completely fill the space above.
It is hard to imagine what kind of existence can wield it.
Mawaraya said, "This is the War Scythe."
War Scythe?
Karun remembered that Mr. Hofen's notes mentioned the War Scythe. It is said that the handle is tempered from countless skeletons, and the sickle part is condensed from countless souls.
Whenever the God of War, Seth, appears holding it, it often means the beginning of war and the arrival of death's harvest.
The God of War is a main god in the early Eternal God camp.
After the Eternal Gods fell, the God of Light camp launched an attack on the Eternal God camp. This was the first large-scale divine war that broke out at the beginning of the previous era. In that battle, the God of War fell.
Therefore, the artifact of the God of War fell into the hands of the God of Order and was relied upon by one of the Twelve Knights, Machetini, to establish the Black Prison Castle magical system, which to some extent changed the combat style of the knight order under the God of Order.
The black shadow on Mawaraya began to appear, as if another person had appeared, but it was still unclear.
However, with Mawaraya starting to chant and shout, a beam of white light fell in front of Karun.

"Use the hand that left a mark to touch this light."
"Yes, mentor."
Karun reached in, and a golden rune flashed on the back of his hand, resonating with the white light. In the depths of his mind, Karun sensed that some kind of relationship was being established.
This relationship is not like a contract, it is much lighter, more like a recognition.
This War Scythe is like a flag. Now it has recognized you and stands under this flag.
From now on, you will be able to launch wars in the name of this flag. In other words, when you use the Black Prison Castle to call it, it will respond to your call.
This means that it is a top-tier artifact without any defects. It can play a role similar to a deity... receiving and responding to prayers.
"Okay, it's over." Mawaraya's figure began to retreat.
Karun also felt his consciousness being pulled back. Before leaving, Karun looked up again. Isn't this artifact supposed to be kept in the Temple of Order? Is this just a simple conscious space or a certain area within the Temple of Order?
Before Karun could see clearly, his consciousness returned completely. He opened his eyes and returned to the control room."If you have nightmares at night and are killed by it, don't panic. This is a normal psychological projection. Anyone who has faced it will have similar experiences and will recover after a while," Malvalio reminded.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for the reminder," Karun replied.
Karun felt that he shouldn't be so fragile.
"Okay, now try to control this castle."
He was really teaching, step by step, like after-sales service.
Karun lowered his head and saw that the original black ball had now grown larger. It was initially the size of a tennis ball, but now it was almost the size of a basketball.
When Karun extended his consciousness into it, a black vine appeared from within the black ball and wrapped around Karun's hand.
In an instant, Karun fully perceived everything in the castle. This feeling was like having an extra leg or arm.
"Go help move things," Malvalio said to Karun's team and the members of the Muri team.
The members of the Muri team had no complaints and followed Bart and the others downstairs to move the war equipment. It seemed normal for underclassmen to do more work.
One by one, the equipment was moved in. Bart and Ventura set up the crossbows in their positions.
Eisley was on a high platform on the side of the control room, placing the cage of imprisonment.
Mars was in his own studio below, laying out the formation curtain and binding it to the flagpole. Blanch was opposite Eisley, arranging her own priest star chain.
The last crystal cannon was set up by Muri and his team.
After the equipment and personnel were in place, Malvalio, Husen, and the members of the Muri team left the castle and went outside.
Karun immersed his consciousness into the black ball again, and black threads appeared on the walls. They first bound the priest star chain and the cage of imprisonment in the control room, then bound the two crossbows set up by Ventura and Bart, and finally, bound the formation curtain at the bottom and the crystal cannon at the top.
This feeling was like extending his blood vessels and establishing a connection with these war equipment.
Karun asked, "Eisley, do you have any useless monsters there?"
Eisley immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "Yes, many."
"Choose one that can fly and release it," Karun ordered.
"Yes, Captain."
Eisley stood in front of the cage of imprisonment and began to chant the summoning spell.
"My dearest friend..."
Soon, a green mist entered the cage and then flew out. It revealed the illusion of a green bird, resembling a large peacock, outside the castle.
Karun immediately commanded, "Bart, Ventura, shoot its tail."
"Yes, Captain."
"Yes, Captain."
Bart and Ventura immediately adjusted the direction of the crossbows and aimed.
"Buzz buzz buzz..." a series of arrows were shot. Bart's aim was accurate, hitting the bird's tail and knocking off a large number of feathers. The bird was startled and quickly flapped its wings to fly upwards.
Ventura, on the other hand, missed all the shots.
Karun took note in his mind that Ventura needed more practice in controlling the equipment.
"Blanch, bless everyone."
"Yes, Captain."
Blanch used the priest star chain to activate the magic, and soon, clusters of white light floated out and landed on Karun and Eisley. The remaining white light continued to overflow and fell on the others.
"Mars, set up the binding formation!"
"Yes, Captain."
Mars quickly raised the flagpole and raised the curtain, releasing the effect of the formation. A huge net appeared in the air, trapping the bird. The crystal cannon at the top of the castle, under Karun's control, began to adjust its aim and targeted the trapped bird.
The bird sensed the danger and fully stretched its body, struggling desperately.
"Boom!"
Finally, when Karun fired, he raised the angle, and the terrifying beam directly hit the distant sea, causing an explosion. Rainwater and seafood kept falling.
Karun felt that the Muri team didn't need to arrange a midnight snack tonight. They could survive on these seafood until the day after tomorrow.
The bird, scared from the ordeal, was almost on the verge of collapse. It was completely trapped and didn't even make a symbolic struggle.
"Eisley, retrieve it."
"Yes, Captain."
The bird turned back into smoke and returned to Eisley's arm, once again becoming a tattoo-like existence. Outside, Husen shouted, "Okay, you can come down now."
After shouting, Husen said to the members of the Muri team standing beside him, "Go help move things."
Karun lowered his head, and the black vine that had been wrapped around his wrist loosened and retracted into the black sphere.
The equipment that had been previously moved up was now moved back down. Karun released the magic, and the castle quickly decayed and dissipated.Mavalo spoke to Karun's team, "Before you officially enter the Gate of Reincarnation, the Church will give you specific scrolls. When the time comes, you just need to use this scroll at the required location to teleport the corresponding equipment there, so you don't have to carry it up like now."
Everything was as Karun had expected. The Church would set up a teleportation array in the Reincarnation Valley camp to teleport these war tools in. However, it would be impossible to retrieve them afterwards, and it was even less likely that his team would drag these tools away when they left. This was a waste, but it was a calculated waste.
"Karun, you can take your team back to the hotel to rest," Hudson said.
"I have a request. Can we practice using equipment like crossbows at the base?"
"Of course, you can," Mavalo replied, "except for the magic crystal cannon."
"Of course, thank you."
The staff began to repack these tools. After Karun and Murray nodded, they took their team members and boarded the ferry back to the hotel. Murray and his team needed to practice overnight.
After returning to the base, Ventula went to the front desk to request room service, ordering extra cigarettes and alcohol for the day.
"Oh, by the way, the people in the other three rooms won't be back tonight. Send their share of cigarettes and alcohol to my room."
The front desk staff looked at Ventula, who maintained a smile.
"Okay, it will be sent up shortly."
"Thank you." Ventula left the front desk and ran to join his teammates in the elevator.
After reaching their floor, Karun clapped his hands at his team members, "After dinner, rest early. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you can go to the base warehouse to get the equipment for practice."
"Yes, Captain."
Back in the room, Karun took a shower first. When he came out, dinner had arrived, along with a lot of cigarettes and alcohol. Ventula was busy packing them into his suitcase.
Karun took some food and started eating on the sofa.
After Ventula finished packing, he also came over to eat.
"Captain, do you think they can finish practicing tonight?"
"Probably." "Will there be classes tomorrow?" "There should be. The last class is not training, but an introduction to the situation inside the Gate of Reincarnation and informing us of the target mission of this trial. Even if they don't rest all night, it won't affect this class."
"Oh, I see. I was planning to sell these on the black market for points after dawn."
"There's no rush, there will definitely be time. Okay, you continue eating, I'm going to rest." "Okay, Captain, good night." "Good night."
After lying in bed, Karun read a book for a while to get out of the studying mode. After a while, he tossed the book aside and closed his eyes.
...
"Drip...drip...drip..." The sound of water droplets came. Karun opened his eyes and saw a terrifying scythe appearing in front of him.
I had the same dream. I must have been affected by the Scythe of War.
Karun thought of what Mavalo had said earlier. He said that those who had faced the Scythe of War would have nightmares for a while, dreaming of being killed by the Scythe of War.
"Squeak..."
The harsh friction sound came. Karun was ready to be killed by this scythe in his dream, but he was surprised to find that the scythe was not cutting towards him. It seemed more like the scythe that was originally standing next to him was falling forward after losing its restraint.
And in the abyss below, a towering figure seemed to appear.
"Oh"
The scythe fell into the darkness, as if it had cut something.
Then,
A furious growl came from the depths of the darkness:
"Order..."
