After Moser blew up because of Eric, the next day, in Lonely Mountain Castle, a white envelope trimmed with gold was delivered from the butler to the desk in the study. He used a letter opener to remove the ink pads from the envelope and took out a letter. After reading, the man squinted his eyes and raised his hand, and the letter was burned into pieces of paper ashes in his hand. At this time, someone knocked on the door, the butler opened the door, and a guard in the corridor whispered in his ear. The butler nodded, returned to the study and said softly, "Master, the guests are coming soon."
He stood up, nodded and said, "Go, go and meet our guests."
The old castle under the lonely mountain will have new changes every day. After the renovation of the whole castle was completed not long ago, the guard wall of the castle has begun to be raised. A wooden frame was set up on the outer wall of the castle, and the workers rushed to work day and night, and the guard wall was raised step by step. Arrow towers were also built in the guard walls, and several terraces in the castle began to be transformed into forts. The castle is slowly shedding its ancient elegance and transforming into a war fortress.
The small town outside the castle has begun to take shape. Several towering bell towers in the town are distributed in important strategic positions. They can overlook the entire town and can be used as fire support points when necessary. Outside the town, you can see pieces of farmland that have already started to be sown. Judging from the size of the farmland, it can completely provide enough food for the town and the castle. A low wall has been built farther away, and this low wall stretches for several kilometers, enclosing the town and the castle. There are still workers working on the low wall. In time, who dares to say that it will not become a high wall that can stop soldiers and horses?
A road paved with miscellaneous stones passes through the low wall, passes through the farmland, borders on the flat trunk at the entrance of the town, and winds its way to the gate of the castle. At this moment, carriages and guards came along the road. The team drove through the farmland, entered the small town, and finally stopped outside the gate of the castle. The gates of the castle rose, allowing the team to enter the castle square. In the square, five carriages were parked side by side, and none of these carriages had any signs. Not only that, even the guards accompanying each carriage did not have any identity marks on the armor of the guards. At this time, people began to get off from the carriage, and the first one to get out of the carriage was a middle-aged man. His fluffy brown hair reflected a brown halo in the sun, and he let the long hair hang naturally, with a somewhat rough and uninhibited taste.
However, judging from the dark red robe with large and complicated patterns embroidered with gold silk on his body, the black gold armor with dark patterns engraved under the robe, and the long sword studded with precious stones and precious metals hanging from his waist, This was evidently a man of noble birth. But on his face was a dark gold mask that covered the parts above the nose, revealing only a pair of sea-blue eyes. In this way, only those who are very familiar with him can recognize him.
It was a woman who got off from another carriage. She had beautiful blond hair like the symbol of nobility. The long golden hair is carefully braided into a simple and elegant shape, and she is dressed in white. However, the details of the seemingly simple dress are not difficult to see that it is a master's handiwork.
A thin golden chain served as both a belt and an ornament. If the reddish gold chain fell into the eyes of those jewelers in the imperial capital, they would definitely recognize that this chain was purely made of Abyss gold.
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) Abiskin is a precious metal produced in the Abys Valley in the Misty Mountains of the Principality of Shadow. Under the eyes of the alien race, he dug mountains and mined mines. Therefore, the preciousness of Abiskin can be seen. There is a saying among jewelers that every gram of Abis gold is soaked in human blood, which is why it is so beautiful.
Being able to own such a gold chain shows that the woman in front of me also has an extraordinary background. Just like the man in front, she also wore a mask on her face, which was a gorgeously decorated mask. Because it is too gorgeous, people ignore the pair of gray-blue eyes under the mask.
As for the other three carriages, the men who got off were all dignified. Even though they wore masks on their faces, their aura of long-standing superiority was fully revealed in their gestures.
There was a burst of applause, and the gate of the main building of the castle opened, and someone walked out from inside, it was the owner of the castle. He walked down the stone steps covered with a red carpet, and said loudly: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, welcome to visit us."
The men who got off the carriage all clenched their fists with their right hands and lightly hammered their chests. The only woman bowed slightly, her movements graceful. After the owner of the castle held his hand, he turned his body and made a gesture of invitation, and then personally led several guests into the castle. As for their guards, they were greeted by the steward to rest in other places in the castle.
The group walked into the meeting hall in the fort.
The hall is hundreds of square meters in size, and majestic statues of knights are carved on the four gray-white stone pillars for load-bearing purposes. The dome of the hall is a painting made of colored stones and bricks. This is an epic and magnificent picture scroll, which fully expresses the magnificence and cruelty of the war scenes with rich colors and unique textures of bricks and stones. Even though it is a silent picture scroll, the viewer can hardly hear the sound of killing and drumming on the battlefield.
The ground is covered with a red carpet, with ancient armor on both sides, and a long table at the end, with high-backed red-cushioned chairs on both sides and the main seat. On the wall hangs an ancient battle flag with patterns of flames and long swords. The tall and narrow windows on both sides cast the bright sunlight into the hall, which is bright but not glaring. The owner of the castle led the guests to the table, separated his hands, and the guests sat down on both sides, and took off their masks one after another.
The owner of the castle smiled and said, "This is a secret gathering. In order to ensure that there will be no leaks and to ensure the safety of everyone, so until now, everyone knows who our companions are."
After taking off the mask, the four men and one woman obviously knew each other, but they didn't expect the other party to appear here. Although everyone's expressions were calm, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes. The owner of the castle walked to the main seat, stretched out his hand to support the long table and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, not long ago, I received a very regrettable message. Among us, someone planned to betray us."
The guests' faces changed immediately, but they were not in a hurry to clarify for themselves. The owner of the castle still smiled: "Do you know who this person is? How about this, if he walks out by himself, I can send him away."
He paused, but none of the guests took the initiative to stand up. The owner of the castle sighed softly: "It's a pity..."
Suddenly, an old man who was almost seventy years old on the right opened his mouth, then lowered his head, and saw that his luxurious robe lit up with flames, and then a long sword made of pure flame pierced out from his chest. catch
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.) Then he heard the owner of the castle sigh behind him: "Marquis Sheila, you are so stupid. Do you think that person can really protect you and your family?"
Only then did the old marquis named Sheila realize that the man on the throne had long since disappeared. He wanted to say something, but a hand gently came from behind, but covered his mouth forcefully. Then from the old man's eyes and nostrils, thin flames spewed out. The skin of his whole body was reddened, and blue smoke kept coming out, and the old man struggled violently. But in the end, it still turned into a dark red charred corpse.
Only then did the owner of the castle take away his hand, and immediately spewed out a puff of smoke with sparks from the mouth of the corpse. The unruly middle-aged man sat next to the old marquis, and saw that the marquis's chair did not have any trace of being burned, and his heart shuddered.
Only with superb control over the source power can such a thing be done.
The owner of the castle let the corpse stay in the hall, and walked back to the main seat, as if it was just an inconspicuous incident, and said with a spring face: "Okay, everyone present here is my own. The assembly can begin Yes, I think everyone should have heard that our Majesty recently brought up the Prime Minister’s plan to reduce the army. I can tell you with certainty that this plan will be implemented in the near future. If there is no accident, it should be under the Crown Prince After the person is selected, His Majesty, he intends to give the next successor a piece of iron. "
"So obviously, if we don't act anymore, then soon, our strength will be weakened, and the imperial power will be stronger than ever. This is the four hundred years since the founding of the empire, the imperial power will prevail over other The glorious time above all powers. Your Majesty is planning to take the scolding alone, but leave the fruitful fruits to his descendants. But no one has a family, no one has an heir, so it seems that we should also plan for ourselves ..."
"Here, I cannot promise what I can give you. I can only say with certainty that this will be an opportunity for you to participate in history and even change the future!"
The door of the hall was closed tightly, and no one knew what the five people inside were talking about. At the same time, the guards brought by Marquis Sheila also turned into corpses one by one.
At noon, the door of the hall opened, and the owner of the castle brought the guests to the restaurant. The restaurant has prepared an extremely rich, even extravagant lunch. Let alone five people, even fifty people might not be able to finish the food on the long table, and the food was still being delivered from the kitchen continuously, as if it were endless.
The host and guest are seated, now that the meeting is over, the atmosphere is not as tense as before. The agreement that should be reached has been implemented, and the next thing to do is to divide the labor and cooperate, and jointly push forward the tide that will affect the entire human empire. Before that, at least on this long table, the few people here can temporarily relax and talk freely.
The only female among the five, gracefully picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it, looked at a middle-aged man with a round belly like a ball on the opposite table and said with a smile: "Marquis Peel, I heard that you found it in Coldridge Valley. Ice soul crystals with huge reserves?"
The fat marquis was suffocated, raised his head and sighed: "Don't mention it, we discovered the cold crystal vein. But the cold ridge canyon's damn place, the geology is not suitable for mining. Our engineering team was buried there, not only a piece of cold crystal Jing didn’t get it, and I paid a lot of pension.”
