"This is really ... breathtaking."
Standing under the tower, Loren raised his head and looked up at the hustle and bustle. The heavily guarded gates and the castle on the hillside in the distance still couldn't help but sigh.
As the capital of the entire Principality of Byrne, the Red Blood Castle is naturally the most magnificent city in Byrne; as early as many years ago, the scope within the city wall was not enough, which contributed to the rise of the lower city, and within the strict barriers became The residence of nobles and high society.
The lower city of Chixuebao is a settlement around the city walls, markets, residences, shops, pubs, inns and even various workshops. Most of the area is the residence of civilians and some craftsmen; large and small The stall's prosperity is not even under Ebden.
In addition to wines of various vintages from the various earl's wine estates, even the wild treasures of Lotel, the amber of the ancient wood forest, the dwarf metal products and slate, the olives of Sacran, the wool of Elmans, Poe's horses and Arles' fur ... and even the long swords of the Yasul elves from overseas can be seen here.
The Red Blood Fort built on the mountain and the palace located at the highest point of the castle on the top of the hill are one of the oldest buildings in the entire Bayern and even the whole empire. It is rumored that the first generation Duke of Bayern was building this castle Once the help of the dwarves was used, the entire city could be built directly on the rock face of the hill.
Although this is basically a legend in Byrne, today the Principality of Byrne has long been unable to find a dwarf; especially the towers and walls built directly on the mountain are indeed fortifications only owned by dwarf talent. technology.
The Palace of the Red Blood Castle sits on the top of the hill like a minaret, and the church of the Holy Cross Church, the Knight ’s Barracks, the local wizard college, the strongholds of various trade unions and chambers of commerce, the courtyards of the noble and rich ...
Even the Governor ’s Mansion of Governor Byrne is also located in this exquisite and magnificent
rock castle
like a work of art.
Towering like a mirror-like wall, magnificent towers and gates, towering minarets and palaces ... Besides, it is really hard not to sigh to see the Red Blood Fort; this is a kind of peace with Golovin A completely different grandeur.
If you want to explain, it is more "three-dimensional" and "delicate", and more beautiful, and the degree of prosperity is still evenly divided compared to West Sakland.
And if you underestimate the city because of its prosperity and exquisiteness, then you are wrong. Compared with the flat giant city of Goloven, the historic Red Blood Castle is the real solid gold soup and can face ten. Ten Thousand Army, a sturdy fortress that is not afraid of siege on all sides!
At least in this era, there are no catapults and ballistas that can break rock walls; the magic spells and alchemy weapons of the wizards are not enough to create an earthquake that can collapse a mountain;
In the face of such a tough city that is hard to defend and difficult to attack, there are almost no weaknesses, and the city is still high. Apart from the siege and waiting for the enemy to be starved to death, there seems to be no good way to break the city.
In the history of the Principality of Byrne, the Red Blood Fort did indeed experience several sieges, including Eckhardt I, who led the second generation to submit to Byrne ’s submission; it was also rumored to have dragged under the Red Blood Fort for too long. One of the important reasons why he chose to negotiate with Byrne.

But what really sighs the dark-haired wizard at the moment is not the magnificent castle and prosperous downtown area, but the "dazzling" decorations on the gates.
The whole row of prisoners hung on the wall with ropes, as thin as firewood, of various shapes and hanged alive.
Among them were the old man, the woman, the young craftsman, the begging child ... all stripped of their clothes, and used blood plasma to write an unusually conspicuous vocabulary on the torso.
traitor.
There are piles of beheaded left on both sides of the closed city gate, or the bones that have been decayed and rotten under the hot sun for too long; their heads are piled up in piles, silently warning every pedestrian passing by .
In another world, this kind of thing is called "Beijing".
Obviously it is a bustling market, but almost everyone's expression is very depressed, and his head and feet are hurried, the acquaintances do not greet each other when they meet, and they frown frowning to say a word, and even the businessmen's shouts cannot be heard;
Clearly entering the midsummer, but the atmosphere is suppressed as if the winter is coming, cold and biting.
Even standing in the middle of the street, Loren could clearly feel the restless breath, revealing a smell of fear. Everyone was in danger, as if the entire Red Blood Fort was locked with shackles. .
Feeling the tense atmosphere and the guards patrolling in the streets ... The dark-haired wizard knew that the pub owner had not exaggerated, and even "deprecated" a lot.
Being able to do this means that the entire Red Blood Castle ’s urban defense and even the control of the lower city area no longer belong to the Turin family, and they are completely taken away by Governor Byrne.
The vampire murder incident was the first thing more than a month ago, and now the city gate is full of dead people, and everyone inside and outside the castle is in danger and the whole case has not made much progress ... This shows that the other party was not arrested from the beginning. Criminal, but use this opportunity to seize control of the Red Blood Fort!
So, has the situation deteriorated to this point?
Looking at the hanged bones on the city wall, Loren couldn't help but frown slightly ... Charlotte Turin in his impression was still a bold and decisive earl, facing Brandon and even Eckhart II. How can someone who has never flinched be easily disarmed by the other party?
Does she really do n’t know that once the hearts and control of the civilians outside the city are lost, how can the nobles in the city not be sorrowful, and who will be willing to abandon themselves at any time, the weak and bullied Turin family Loyalty? !
There are generally two explanations for this unreasonable situation-that is, Charlotte Turin just looks tough, or she has lost control of the Turin family and is just a puppet;
This possibility is not high ... if she has no real power, how can she visit the imperial capital as an earl and discuss the conditions with Brandon and even His Majesty the emperor? Even if she really wanted to, being the real power behind the puppet could not indulge her to do so.
So it can only be the second kind ... either Governor Byrne holds the conditions that she ca n’t refuse in order to threaten her and the entire Turin family; or ... someone gives her an idea, try not to be with the Governor House confrontation.
Looking at the current situation of the Red Blood Fort, it's really possible.
"Hi, what's your name ?!"
There was a sudden sound behind him, not very young, with a little excitement and nervousness in the tender voice.
Loren looked back, and he found the child when he came over—skinny and small, with a pair of over-smart eyes, reminding him vaguely of the ancient wood town when he met him, he should be in the deep forest hat now.
Hmm ... he is a little bit smaller than a hat, and he is also a bit bolder.
"I have been staring at you for a long time, you are not a local!" The child suddenly shouted loudly, pointing proudly at the face of the black-haired wizard: "I know all around here, you must be a foreigner!"
"Now, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion is looking for you guys everywhere, if they are found by his people ... the bad luck on the city wall is your role model!" The little devil fox fake tiger is like a prestige, shrugging with his waist:
"I do n’t want to die so ugly, I ’ll pay a sum of money, I ’m covering you near you, do n’t worry; I know there is a hotel owner ~ EbookFREE.me ~ His aunt ’s father has a son in the governor ’s palace Guards, no one dares to check him-as long as you pay well, I will tell you where the hotel is. "
Aunt's father's son ... his father?
"How much do you want?" The familiar conversation made Loren couldn't help raising his lips ... as if it were the same last time.
"Are you afraid?" The imp, cocked his chin proudly, and wiped his dirty nose: "As long as I scream, the nearby patrol can hear you and you're done!"
"really?"
"Huh? Of course it's true ..."
Just at the moment when the devil was about to ask for the price, the sharp blade of the dagger had been tricked around his neck, and the whole person was pulled into the air by the collar.
The cold touch on the neck made the ghost tremble and looked at the smiling black wizard in horror.
"Well ... you can now" scream "!" Mobile phone users, please browse for a better reading experience.
