Heart of the Castle

Chapter 184 Come, Lord of the Sky

Near noon, the dense fog that shrouded the earth began to be unable to resist the power of the sun, and gradually thinned.On the roof of the main building of the Viscount Castle, more than a dozen servants were running on it, and according to Li Wei's instructions, they built something with various branches that were cut down.They piled the thicker branches into a circle at the outermost edge, and then filled the middle with small twigs, shrubs, and dry straw.A guy who looked like a butcher commanded a few strong servants to lift a pig to the center of the circle made of branches, and then chopped down the pig's face with an axe, bringing it down neatly.

A group of heavily armed knights walked up the narrow stone steps to the roof of the main building, and this was what they saw head-on.

"Father God, what kind of weird ceremony is this doing? Could it be a blood sacrifice to the evil god?" A knight couldn't help muttering a few words after seeing it, putting his hands on his chest Two slaps forward, expressing the uneasiness in the heart with this general prayer gesture to God the Father.

"This doesn't look like a blood sacrifice to the evil god. If it's an altar, it would be too simple. From my point of view, this thing looks like a huge..." Sir Lidwan, the lord of the Greencastle, said after thinking, But before he could say his final guess, there was a loud applause from around him.

"I see, it's a big bird's nest!" Dragonson's loud voice sounded like thunder, completely drowning out what Sir Ridvan wanted to say, watching this bull-like guy proudly puff out his chest , the lord of Greencastle was so angry that his face turned pale.

It seems that the things built by the servants are indeed like a super huge bird's nest, but even the well-informed Grand Knight Commander Wilps, who has been an adventurer for many years, can't help showing a puzzled look, obviously unexpected There is that kind of huge bird that needs to perch on such a huge bird's nest.

The knights turned their eyes to the old scholar Master Sugad. The old man's eyes were still clear, and when he looked at the big bird's nest, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Sugard, have you guessed what Master Li Wei wants to do?" Wilps approached the old scholar and asked in a low voice.

"A very surprising thing will happen, Wilps. Do you still remember the question Mr. Li Wei asked you just now?" The old scholar asked with a mysterious smile, and then remained silent, refusing to answer. Another question.

"Miss Li Wei's question?" Wilpus frowned and thought, it seems that when he was in the conference room just now, Li Wei only asked himself a question that was a bit out of his mind-are you afraid of heights?
For a knight, although this question cannot be said to be humiliating, it also made Wilps feel a little angry.I remember that I answered like this at the time: "Afraid of heights? No, Mr. Levi, I, Wilps, for the honor of the knight, am not even afraid of death!"

What happened next made him even more confused.Li Wei told all the knights to go to the roof of the castle at noon, and he would select a group of knights who were not afraid of heights, let alone death, as a special force to raid the devil's lair.Although most of the knights had doubts about Levi's thoughts, they were obviously aroused by their curiosity. At nearly noon, under the leadership of Wilps, the 27 knights stationed in the Viscount's castle had already comprehended the seeds of fighting spirit. The knights, all fully armed, boarded the roof.

What surprised them was not only the addition of a super huge bird's nest on the roof, but also the fact that Li Wei, the core figure of the whole thing, did not appear here.Commanding the servants to run around, the man who built the bird's nest was the burly roaring bear Donald, and another of Levi's capable men, Sir Grace, stood aside with a silver fir longbow that never left his body, his cold eyes looked at The knights swept over.

In addition, the knight Grievous in silver armor and the other two knights whose names were not even reported did not appear, which made Wilps feel a little puzzled.

The Grand Knight Commander raised his head to look at the sky. The sun had already climbed to the top of the zenith, and the sun was shining on his head, bringing precious warmth to this land that was ravaged by demons.There was a faint noise from below the castle. It was the voices of the vassals and servants living under the protection of the high walls.They are trying to seize the rare sunny time of the day to work. Some people are drying the damp and moldy things due to the dense fog, and more people are walking out of the high wall with agricultural tools, preparing to collect as much as possible. s things.

It was noon.

Wilps took a deep breath and walked towards the huge bird's nest.It seemed that the bird's nest was almost built, and the servants slapped the dust on their bodies and retreated. Only Tang Na was still standing next to the big bird's nest, looking up to the sky, as if he was looking for something in the sky.

"Mr. Donna..." Wilps hesitated a bit in addressing Donna. After all, the Roaring Bear hadn't comprehended the seeds of battle qi, and he wasn't a real knight yet.In the end, the Grand Knight Commander chose a word that could be used as an appropriate way of showing respect, and greeted him loudly.

"Ah, Sir Wilpus, salute, salute." Donna hastily withdrew his gaze from the sky, and bowed to Wilpus repeatedly with the courtesy of an adventurer.

"You're welcome, Mr. Donner, has Lord Li Wei told you when will he come here?"

"Master Li Wei said that he will arrive at noon." Tang Na replied.

"But, it's already noon." Dragonson strode over and interrupted in a rough voice. "Where is Levi?"

Tang Na hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "According to Master Li Wei's instructions, I built this thing before noon. Now that the thing has been built, I don't know why Master Li Wei hasn't arrived yet."

Wilps was about to speak, suddenly something seemed to move slightly in his heart, and immediately raised his head to look up to the sky.It was an extremely clear winter sky, and the sun was even dazzling. Wilps squinted his eyes to endure the stimulation of the sun. In his field of vision, there were more than a dozen small black spots flying across the sky.

"What is this? A vulture? Or a giant eagle?" Sir Lidwan, the lord of the Greencastle, also looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

Dragonson followed Wilps' gaze. This high-ranking knight's perception was as keen as a beast. Just seeing those flying black spots, his expression changed suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to hold the waist The long sword moved so loudly that even the armor on his body clanged.

"Master Wilps, and everyone! Be careful, those are not ordinary birds!"

Wilps' pupils were also constricting, and he had already noticed what Dragonson could see.Those black spots are thousands of meters away from the Viscount's Castle, but judging from their size and spread wings, they must be at least 5 meters long and have a wingspan of more than 10 meters!No bird in the natural world can have such a terrifying body shape, not even the giant eagle known as the king of the sky. If it weren't for the obvious clustering of these black spots, Wilps even suspected that it was flying towards the castle. , could it be the larval form of the flying dragon?

A tense atmosphere enveloped the roof of the castle, and the knights drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, and the cold light of the sharp blades formed a piece on the roof, dazzling and shining.Only Donner and Sir Grace reacted strangely. The former suddenly found that there seemed to be a part of the giant bird's nest that hadn't been tidied up properly, so he buried himself down and started tidying it up; while the latter leaned against the low wall on the side of the roof, his eyes lingering in the air, not sure what to do. I know what I'm staring at.

"Sir Grace, what are you thinking? The defense of the castle needs your longbow!" Wilps said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Oh, Lord Wilps, although I don't have the title of knight yet, I am also a person who has sworn an oath. I can't do this kind of behavior." Sir Grace spread out helplessly. said with both hands.

"Who is that person you're talking about?" Wilps' eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in a cold tone, and then he heard a very loud voice above his head.

The sound seemed to be an eagle's cry amplified more than ten times. As the sound approached rapidly, a violent wind blew down from the sky. stand up.Some of the weaker knights even had a faint vindictive light on their bodies to help them resist the sudden strong wind.

Only a few knights, such as Wilps, were able to resist the strong wind calmly. The Grand Knight Commander was the most relaxed among them, with fiery red grudges shining slightly on his hands, and the waist The long sword has also been moved to the most suitable position for unsheathing.

A figure that was bigger than an ordinary lion swooped down from the air, and the target was right in front of Wilps. The big knight stepped back slightly with his left leg, ready to resist and counterattack.His sharp eyes suddenly lifted up and looked towards the figure, but they froze for a moment.

"Master Li Wei? Why are you?"
