Dragon Clan: Started by being picked up by Xia Mi, and then defeated the strong

Chapter 230: Nibelungen Invades Reality
Windsor Castle is built of huge stones, showing a deep gray color. The walls are soaring into the sky, giving people an insurmountable sense of majesty. The walls are covered with dark green vines, showing the long years.

At the four corners of the castle, four round towers stood tall, with narrow windows like vigilant eyes, staring at everything around.

The spire on top of the tower pierces the sky, casting a sharp shadow in the sun.

"Did you find anything?" Elizabeth couldn't help but ask when she saw Xia Mo narrowing her eyes slightly.

"Let's go in and take a look first." Xia Mo replied.

The two walked into the castle with alchemical weapons and equipment, dressed like hunters. Xia Mo was self-explanatory, and Elizabeth was not as frail as she looked, but a delicate European lady.

Xia Mo and Elizabeth walked through the heavy iron door and seemed to have stepped into an isolated world.

The architectural style inside Windsor Castle is simple and solemn, with dark or light yellow marks on the gray and white walls.

A wide corridor runs through the entire castle, with portraits of successive castle owners hanging on both sides of the corridor. Their gazes seem to travel through time and space, watching every visitor here.

Xia Mo calmly looked at the successive heads of the Laurent family. Each of them was dignified and solemn. Speaking of which, Elizabeth was the only female head of the family, because her father had only Elizabeth as a daughter.

In Europe, women's inheritance rights are not special. When the time comes, they just need to get married and have children to inherit. China emphasizes blood ties, while most Westerners recognize surnames. Both adoption and marriage are acceptable.

"This is the first patriarch of the family, Frédéric Laurent, who was famous for his bravery. It is said that he was originally a blacksmith, but later became a brave and skilled fighter overnight. He played an indelible role in the formation of the family," said Elizabeth.

Xia Mo looked at the portrait and found that the man was quite handsome. The painter captured the youthful spirit of the first head of the Laurent family. His eyes were deep and sharp, like a falcon.

Elizabeth introduced them one by one. She said with emotion that the Laurent family once had an ancestral precept, that is, every heir to the head of the family must live in Windsor Castle for a year.

However, Elizabeth's succession to the throne was too sudden. His father had originally planned to train him as the crown prince after he graduated from the Royal Elizabeth Academy of Art. However, he encountered a plane crash, or more precisely, was killed in a conspiracy attack by a pure-blooded dragon.

In order to get the power and status that belonged to her, Elizabeth could not wait in Windsor Castle for a year. By that time, the dust would have settled and it would be too late.

Later, she successfully turned the tide and succeeded as the head of the family. Elizabeth became extremely busy and had no time to practice in Windsor Castle for a year.

Elizabeth felt quite ashamed, but there were not many trustworthy people around her. She did not dare to delegate too much power, for fear that she would be imprisoned if she lived in Windsor Castle.

Perhaps every person in a high position is afraid of being overthrown by the weak.

Xia Mo saw the portrait of Elizabeth's father. He looked somewhat like Elizabeth, dressed in a suit and tie, meticulous, but his features were a little softer.

Elizabeth felt a little disappointed when she saw her father's portrait, but she didn't show it and continued walking with Xia Mo.

They walked into a living room with a high ceiling supported by thick stone pillars. Sunlight shone through the colored glass windows, creating colorful light and shadows. The hall was filled with ancient furniture and exquisite carvings that showed the luxury of the past.

Xia Mo looked around, and in her slightly empty gray eyes, there were wisps of dark purple silk threads lingering in the living room, as if there was a giant spider deep in Windsor Castle spitting out silk that coveted the human world and turned the entire castle into its nest.

Recalling the information provided by Elizabeth before coming here, Windsor Castle is in a special realm. It is not known whether it is the effect of words or alchemy, but the effect is visible phantoms. Those are the ghosts of the past owners of the family, and they scared the old butler who was in charge of the place half to death.

"Apparitions usually occur late at night," Elizabeth said.

Xia Mo glanced at the traces of the silk thread and whispered.

"follow me."

"Did you find anything?" Elizabeth asked in surprise. Xia Mo said nothing, and followed the thread lingering in the air. When she was outside Windsor Castle, she saw that half of the building was immersed in deep phantoms. She and Elizabeth crossed the courtyard of the castle and went to the depths, where the phantoms were immersed.

Xia Mo suddenly stopped, and a gradually encroaching dark line separated reality and illusion.

"What's wrong?" In Elizabeth's vision, the castle was still the castle, with thick dark gray walls and deep corridors.

"Have you checked inside?" Xia Mo asked.

"Yes," Elizabeth nodded, "Going further down is the master's bedroom. Our people have checked it and there is nothing unusual."

The ancestral house is haunted. The solution should be to investigate the history of Laurent's family. Perhaps it is some kind of family curse or legacy issue.

Ever since Xia Mo stepped into Windsor Castle, she had a strong intuition in her heart that something was about to wake up, and it should wake up because she came here.

Perhaps Windsor Castle had not been immersed in fantasy before.

Very strange thought.

The talent [Breath of Dead Souls] comes from the goddess of death Hela. With this talent, Xia Mo can see the existence of the yin and yang worlds, a world where even gods exist. The underworld is not just a legend. According to the knowledge of the dragon clan, it is the Nibelung.

Xia Mo attributed all the domain-like barriers she saw to the Nibelung, and she was probably right.

Nibelung has different names in many mythologies, such as Takama-ga-hara in Japanese mythology, Mount Olympus in Greek mythology, and the fairy castle in Celtic mythology.

Xia Mo reasonably suspected that there was a Nibelung hidden deep in Windsor Castle, which gradually affected the entire castle.

Entering Nibelungen usually requires a medium. For some reason, the Nibelungen here spread out from the other side of the world, like an invasion of territory.

Xia Mo told Elizabeth her guess, and Elizabeth was puzzled.

First, how did Xia Mo determine that the general building of Windsor Castle was located in Nibelungen? Second, Windsor Castle had existed for many years and had always been protected by the Laurent family. When did a pure-blooded dragon run here?

Xia Mo saw the illusory substance spread a short distance towards her, which made her more certain of her guess.

Although Elizabeth had her doubts, she chose to believe before questioning, and she gripped the weapon in her hand, which was a rapier.

The rapier is good at stabbing and is light in texture, making it suitable for women to defend themselves. Elizabeth named it "Nightingale". Nightingale comes from the night watchman, who is the vice-president of Kassel College.

He is a master in the field of alchemy. Although he is not a blacksmith who can forge weapons, he can enchant alchemical weapons and turn them into magical swords.

Xia Mo told Elizabeth that the architecture of Windsor Castle had undergone some transformation that was invisible to the naked eye, and she planned to conduct an in-depth investigation as a sign of respect. Xia Mo asked Elizabeth if she wanted to find some help.

The daughter of a rich man should not sit in the hall. Elizabeth had a lot of loyal bodyguards, but she kept them in the manor.

"I trust your judgment and ability," said Elizabeth.

So, the two of them stepped into the edge of Nibelung.
