After Moseol exploded because of Eric, the next day, in the Gushan Castle, a white envelope with a gold border was delivered from the butler’s hand to the desk in the study. He opened the inkpad of the envelope with a letter opener and took out a letter from the inside. After reading it, the man squinted his eyes, raised his hand, and the letter burned to pieces of ashes in his hand. At this moment someone knocked on the door, the housekeeper opened the door, and a guard in the corridor whispered in his ear. The butler nodded, then returned to the study and whispered: "Master, the guests are coming soon."
He stood up, nodded and said, "Go, and meet our guests."
The old castle under Gushan has new changes every day. After the renovation of the whole castle was completed not long ago, now the castle's guard wall has begun to increase. Wooden frames were erected on the outer walls of the castle. Workers rushed to work day and night, and the guard walls were rising. Arrow towers were also built in the guard walls, and several terraces in the castle began to be transformed into forts. The castle is quietly fading away its ancient and elegant veil, and is beginning to transform into a war fortress.
The town outside the castle has begun to take shape. Several towering bell towers in the town are located in important strategic locations. They can view the entire town and can be used as fire support points when necessary. Outside the town, you can see a block of farmland that has already been sown. From the area of the farmland, it can provide enough food for the town and the castle. A low wall has been built farther away. This low wall stretches for several kilometers, enclosing the town and the old castle. Workers are working on the low wall. In time, who dares to say that it will not become a high wall that can intercept soldiers and horses?
A road paved with rubble passes through low walls, through farmland, and borders the smooth trunk of the entrance of the town, winding to the outside of the castle gate. At this moment, carriages and guards came along the road, and the team drove through the farmland, entered the town, and finally stopped outside the ancient castle gate. The gate of the castle rose, allowing the team to enter the castle square. In the square, five horse-drawn carriages parked side by side, none of which had any signs on them. Not only that, even the guards accompanying each carriage and the guard's armor do not have any identity signs. At this time people began to get off the carriage, and the first man to get out of the carriage was a mature man. His fluffy brown hair refracted the brown halo in the sun, and he let his long hair dangle naturally, with a somewhat rough and unruly taste.
But from his dark infrared robe with large and complex patterns embroidered with gold silk, and the black gold armor with dark patterns engraved under the robe, and the long sword studded with gems and precious metals hanging from the waist. Judging from it, this is obviously a man of noble origin. But his face was wearing a dark gold mask covering the part above the nose, only revealing a pair of sea blue eyes. In this way, only people who are very familiar with him can recognize him.
It was a woman who got off the other carriage. She had beautiful blond hair like a nobleman's mark. The long golden hair is carefully braided into a simple and elegant shape. She is in a white dress and white dress. However, the details of the seemingly simple dress are not difficult to see that it is a masterpiece. A thin golden chain acts as a belt and an ornament. If the slightly reddish golden chain falls in the eyes of those jewelers in the imperial capital, they will recognize that the chain is purely cast by Abiskin.
Abiskin is a precious metal produced in the Abis Valley in the Misty Mountains of the Principality of Shadows. It is extremely dangerous just to get out of the Misty Mountains from the Misty Mountains, let alone under the eyes of foreign races. Chisel a mountain to dig a mine. Therefore, the value of Abiskin can be seen. There is a saying among jewelers that every gram of Abiskin is soaked in human blood, so it is so beautiful.
Being able to have such a gold chain, we know that this woman is also from an extraordinary background. Just like the man in front, she also wears a mask on her face, which is a beautifully decorated mask. Because it is too gorgeous, it makes people ignore the gray-blue eyes under the mask.
As for the other three carriages, the men who got off were also distinguished. Even though they have masks on their faces, the high-ranking temperament is fully revealed between their gestures.
There was a round of applause, and the gate of the main building of the castle opened, and someone walked out from the inside. It was the owner of the castle. He walked down the red-carpeted stone steps and said loudly: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, you are welcome to come by."
The men who got off the wagon all clenched their right hands and hammered their chests. The only female is slightly leaning, with graceful movements. After the owner of the castle held a hand, he turned his body and made a please gesture, and he personally took a few guests into the castle. As for their guards, the butler greeted them to rest in other places in the fort.
The party walked into the conference hall in the fort.
The hall is hundreds of squares, and four gray stone pillars used for load-bearing are carved with majestic knight statues. The dome of the hall is a painting made of colored stones and bricks. This is an epic and magnificent picture, which fully expresses the magnificence and cruelty of the war scene with the rich colors and the unique texture of the bricks. Even though it is a silent picture scroll, it makes viewers suspicious to hear the killing drums on the battlefield.
There is a red carpet on the ground, ancient armors on both sides, and a long table at the end, and high-back red cushion chairs on both sides and on the main seat. An old battle flag hung on the wall, with flames and long swords on the flag. The long and narrow windows on both sides cast the brilliant outdoor sunlight into this hall, bright but not dazzling. The owner of the castle led the guests to the table, separated their 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 beforehand, and to protect your safety, until now, you don't know who our companions are."
After taking off the masks, the four men and one woman obviously knew each other, but they didn't expect each other to appear here. Although everyone's expressions are calm, surprise flashes in their eyes. The owner of the castle walked to the main seat, stretched out his hand to support the long table and smiled: "Unfortunately, I received a very regrettable news not long ago. Some of us are planning to betray us."
The guests suddenly changed their colors, but they didn't rush to clarify for themselves. The owner of the castle still smiled: "Do you know who this person is? Why not, if he walks out by himself, I can send him away."
He paused, but none of the guests came forward. The owner of the castle sighed softly: "It's a pity..."
Suddenly, an old man who was nearly a year old on the right opened his mouth, then lowered his head and saw a flame of fire lit up in his luxurious robe, and then a long sword made of flames pierced out of his chest. Then he heard the owner of the castle sigh behind him: "Marquis Sheila, you are so confused. Do you think that person can really protect you and your family?"
The old marquis named Sheila only then discovered that the man in the main seat had long been missing. He wanted to say something, a hand came gently from the back, but it firmly covered his mouth. Then a thin fire light was ejected from the old man's eyes and nostrils. The skin on his whole body was flushed and blue smoke continued to emerge, and the old man struggled violently. But in the end, it still became a dark red scorched corpse.
At this time, the castle master took away his hand, and suddenly a thick smoke with sparks spurted from the corpse's mouth. The rough and unruly middle-aged man sat beside the old marquis, looked at the marquis's chair, there was no trace of being burned, and he was shocked.
Only by superb control of Yuanli can we achieve this kind of thing in front of us.
The owner of the castle allowed the corpse to stay in the hall and walked back to the main position, as if only an inconspicuous incident had happened, and said with a spring breeze: "Well, all the people present are my own. The rally can begin, and I think everyone should have heard that our majesty recently revisited the Prime Minister’s plan to cut the army. I can tell you with certainty that this plan will be implemented in the near future. If there are no accidents, it should be. It was after the crown prince’s person was selected. Your Majesty, he, but intends to give the next heir a piece of iron bucket."
"So obviously, if we don’t act again. Soon, our power will be weakened, and the imperial power will be as strong as it was before. This is more than four hundred years since the establishment of the empire, the imperial power will A glorious time surpassing all other powers. Your Majesty is prepared to take the scolding by one person, but leave the fruitful results to his descendants. But whoever has no family, who has no heirs, therefore, it seems that we should also be I plan to..."
"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 were talking inside. At the same time, the guards brought by Marquis Sheila turned into corpses one by one.
At noon, the door of the hall opened, and the owner of the castle took the guests to the restaurant. The restaurant has prepared extremely rich and even luxurious lunches. The long table full of food, let alone five people, I am afraid that even fifty people may not be able to eat it, and the food is still delivered continuously from the kitchen, as if it is endless.
The host and guest sit down, and now the meeting is over, the atmosphere is not as tense as before. The agreement reached has been implemented, the next thing to do is to divide labor and cooperate to jointly promote the flood that will affect the entire human empire. Before that, at least on this long table, several people here can relax temporarily and talk freely.
The only woman among the five, gracefully holding up a cup of coffee and having only tasted it, she looked at a middle-aged man with a ball-shaped belly at the opposite table and smiled: "Marquis Peel, I heard that you are in the cold ridge. A huge reserve of ice crystals has been found in the valley?"
Fat Marquis suffocated his actions, raised his head and sighed: "Don't mention it, we found the cold crystal vein. But the **** of the cold ridge canyon, the geology is not suitable for mining. Our engineering team is buried there. Not only did I not get a piece of cold crystal, I also posted a lot of pensions."
