Chapter 1585: family banquet

Although the Belmont family's castle is in the style of the Knights' Castle of the French Empire, the architectural layout does not follow the layout of the Knights' Castle, but refers to the layout of the Tabsburg style in the Middle Kingdom of the world, which is commonly known as Manor Castle layout.
Although the effect of this castle layout in dealing with war defense is very poor, the beauty of the entire castle is not comparable to the castle of the Knights of the French Empire.
For the sake of beauty, various buildings in the castle are usually connected by winding corridors, and this corridor does not use a straight-through method to reach another building from one building, but needs to wrap around the edge of the building. If you walk in a straight line, you only need to walk a few hundred meters to get there, but you can follow the lead servants into the corridor and take a hard detour for more than ten minutes. Arrived at the castle hall.
The architectural style of the castle hall is the common Rochal divinity architectural style, the top is a huge dome, the reliefs of the dome are some legendary stories, and the inside of the dome is painted with exquisite frescoes. The stone pillars are formed to support it, and the entire hall dome is set up. The stone pillars are generally embossed with heroic figures of mainland legends.
When the Belmont family built the castle hall, it was obviously built according to the standard Rochard building. The only modification was to change the legends and mural stories to family legends, and the stone pillar relief figures were also changed. family legend.
People who come here don't need to read other Belmont family history books, just look at this castle hall to get a panoramic view of some Belmont family experiences in the past.
For example, the sixteen stone pillar statues that support the huge dome of the castle hall, the figures carved on the innermost six stone pillars are all standard knights, and it can be seen from the engraved armor that these six knights are still French knights, because the armor It is the standard knight armor of the French Empire.
After that, the clothes of the embossed figures that were pushed outwards gradually changed into other clothes, including scholars, businessmen, warriors, etc. It can be seen that the Belmont family was undergoing drastic changes during this period, so that the core characters of the family were also constantly changing. Change.
The statues of the last four stone pillars have become the statues of the current heretic hunters, but some of the characteristics of the knight's armor are still retained on the clothes of the heretic hunters, which should represent the state of the Belmont family after entering Mount Teresa.
As for the stories and the story murals carved on the top of the poor, they are all heroic stories experienced by the Belmont family, such as crusades against a huge monster, such as saving a country that has fallen into war.
Among these stories, Leo paid the most attention to the story of the mural in the middle of the dome, which was painted with the shapes of several abyss dragons, and there were a few people standing around the abyss dragons, but among those people Except for the person wearing knight armor, the images of the other two are particularly blurred, but from the clothes on the two and the items in their hands, one should be a wizard, and the other should have mastered cosmic technology. People, or the survivors of cosmic civilization, because that person holds an extremely eye-catching energy weapon in his hands.
When Leo and Sylvia came to the castle hall, the only long table in the hall was full of people. After hearing the footsteps, they all looked at Leo and Sylvia in unison. Ou, they just glanced at it, but after seeing Sylvia, they all looked surprised, and some of them even stood up instinctively and wanted to salute Sylvia, but they suddenly thought of Sylvia As Asia's identity, he sat back a little embarrassedly.
These people sitting here can be said to be members of the direct line of the Belmont family, but this direct line does not mean that the people here are all direct descendants of the old duke. In fact, apart from the Earl of Belmont, only three of them are the old duke. Descendants of his descendants, the others are from the side branches of the family, but because their bloodlines are extremely pure, they have obtained the status of direct lineage. If they can make the bloodlines more pure, maybe they are still qualified to replace the current Belmonte Earl, the new heir to the title of family patriarch and duke.
In addition, in addition to these Belmont family members, there are several people who are members of the Royal Teresa family. These people are the people who instinctively wanted to stand up and salute after seeing Sylvia just now. The oldest in the middle should be about to come of age, while the youngest is only seven or eight years old.
In fact, the members of the Belmont family and Theresa royal family living in the castle are not only the people on the long table in front of them. On the way to the castle hall, Leo and Sylvia both saw some other Belmont family members, only However, the blood power of those people is not strong enough to reach the long table in the castle hall.
When he saw Leo and Sylvia coming, the old duke motioned them to sit on the two vacant seats on his left, and after waiting for the two to sit down, he opened his mouth and introduced: "This is an academic Master Leo Dodd of the city, this is Lady Sylvia Belmont, a distant relative of our family."
After hearing the introduction of the old duke, the surrounding people greeted the two of them one after another, but compared to just now, everyone's attention was focused on Leo.
The reason why they will pay more attention to Leo is not because of Leo's status as an academic city, but when the old duke introduced Leo first, and then introduced Sylvia. It is obvious that Leo's status in the eyes of the old duke surpassed that of Sylvia, who was of the same family and whose blood was purer than that of the patriarchs of all dynasties.
Afterwards, the old duke briefly introduced the family members who were going to do it again, perhaps because there were too many people. If everyone introduced their origins in detail, I am afraid that the dinner would not be eaten until late at night, so he just I briefly introduced some of the names and family origins of these people, but then ordered the servants to put the prepared food on the table, just like an ordinary family dinner, while eating and chatting casually.
When introducing these people, Sylvia sensed the bloodline of these people. There is no doubt that the bloodline of these people is much thicker and purer than the members of the Belmont family she met before, even those special ones. There are some dragon-like mutations in the members of the Leisha royal family, and they seem to be very proud of their own mutations. As long as they are not private parts, most of them choose to expose their mutant parts.
For example, some people deliberately hollowed out the armor on their chests, exposing a piece of magic dragon scales on their chests. Among these people, the second son of the old duke is the most admired. The mutant part of his body is the eyes, and the eyeballs are completely magic With dragon-shaped vertical pupils, this person seems to be highly respected by the clan, and he faintly fought with his elder brother, Earl Belmont, at the long table.
Not to mention the actions of these direct line members of the Belmont family, in Sylvia's eyes, even in the eyes of the old duke, they were a bit childish and ridiculous, because they knew very well that the mutation status of their bodies did not represent the purity of their bloodlines. The second son of the mutated and highly respected old duke is not outstanding in terms of blood purity. If the entire long table is ranked by blood purity, it can only be ranked out of ten.
However, the second son of the old duke does not seem to know that his bloodline is not very pure, and is still proud of the mutation of his eyes. He even thinks that he has the opportunity to replace his brother and become the Earl of Belmont, so he always talks about it. It was aimed at the Earl of Belmont, and others around them were also creating conflicts between the two brothers.
Seeing this scene, Sylvia felt a little want to laugh, because she was used to seeing all kinds of court battles, and she saw these people's actions as if watching a group of children fighting, and she felt only childish, and the old one. The Duke always had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't mean to say anything to stop him. Maybe in his eyes, this kind of boring trick was just a pastime after dinner.
Although Leo on the other side looked like he was digging into the food, in fact he had thoroughly checked the conditions of these people on the long table. People's understanding of themselves may be far from comparable to that of Leo.
Most of these people are ordinary, and they are no different from other Belmont family members, except that the blood is a little thicker, but three of these people contain different energy fluctuations, and these energy fluctuations are obviously From the abyss, which means that these three people should have had very close contact with the abyss or the abyss.
Although the blood of the Belmont family comes from the abyss dragon, this does not mean that their contact with the abyss is normal, nor does it mean that their contact with the abyss is beneficial to the development and refining of their own blood, especially the abyss dragon in the abyss. There are so many deadly enemies, and many abyss high-ranking species can't help such a powerful high-ranking race as the abyss demon dragon, but they don't mind the descendants of the abyss demon dragon's bloodline to make a knife and grab one or two as their own collections.
As for how these three people came into contact with the abyss, Leo was not curious about this. After all, this world is so close to the abyss, and there are not one or two abyss high-ranking species that enter this world, even the abyss high-ranking species. It is also possible to enter this world and stay for a long time, which means that the barrier of this world has cracked. It is not difficult for other abyss races to enter this world, but after they enter this world with a large number of gods, Who is the hunter and who is the prey?
The three people who were noticed by Leo seemed to be a small group. From the previous introduction of the old duke, they all came from a side branch, and the tribe of this side branch also lived in the valley and seemed to occupy a small town with a population of about There are hundreds of people, not very prosperous.
These three people did not have the habit of talking with other people, they just ate silently, but Leo, who was careful, could find that these three people always looked at Sylvia inadvertently, and the sight in his eyes was full of naked eyes. Desire, this kind of desire is not the of the sexes, but more like the appetite of hunger, as if the three people thought Sylvia as food by the way when they were eating.
Although these three people hid their eyes and desires deeply, when they looked at Sylvia, they just stopped for a while and then moved away, but for the sensitive Sylvia, their eyes were too much. Obviously, although I don't understand why these three people are malicious to herself, Sylvia doesn't plan to get used to them. She has quietly left a mark on the three of them while eating. Obviously, she intends to find a chance to take good care of them. Let's talk to these three people. As for how to deal with these people after the conversation, it depends on the content of the conversation.
Although there were two outsiders, Leo and Sylvia, on the long table, everyone was not too restrained on the topics they were talking about. Most of them were talking about some internal family affairs, only talking about some sensitive families When doing business, the old duke would interrupt the conversation and lead the conversation to other directions.
However, even so, from the conversations of these people, Leo and Sylvia also gained a lot of information, and also learned about the predicament the Belmont family is currently encountering.
Yes, the Belmont family is now facing a crucial difficulty, and that is that they may need to move.
Through the conversations of these people, Leo and Sylvia learned that the active volcano under their feet seems to have begun to wake up from the dormant period. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has begun to enter the active period. During the crater, several large earthquakes occurred in the crater, one of which even broke the bridge leading to the castle and caused the wall on one side of the castle to collapse.
The old duke also consulted the academic city about the volcano, and the results he got were all ten years at most, at least two or three years, the volcano under his feet would completely enter the active period, and the earthquake would still be slight. The disaster of the volcanic eruption is the disaster, so in the past few years, the old duke has been busy with the relocation of the family, and has no intention to manage other family affairs.
However, the relocation of the Belmont family castle is not as simple as the relocation of other noble castles. It is to leave the original residence and live in another place. The relocation of Belmont Castle not only requires the entire castle to be relocated to a new settlement, but also needs to be relocated. The cub of the abyss demon dragon also moved away together, otherwise losing the cub of the abyss demon dragon would be no less than a crisis of extinction for the Belmont family that could cut off the bloodline.
At the long table, when the people around mentioned the relocation of the castle, it was obvious that these matters were the most secret and important affairs of the Belmont family, but the old duke did not stop these people from talking. Obviously, he wanted to let Lei Ou and Sylvia heard that it was self-evident that he planned to do so. It should be hoped that the two would help in the relocation of the castle.
