Heart of the Castle

Chapter 551 The true attitude of the castle heart

Li Wei didn't know how long he was in a coma, and what happened during his coma, so when he regained consciousness, he instinctively touched the saber hanging on his belt with his hand.

The saber was still there, and when the hard and flexible hilt wrapped in calfskin appeared in the palm of his hand, Li Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "It seems that I haven't been in a coma for a long time..." He thought like this, and then realized that he was not lying on the ground of the chamber.

The touch from under the body is as soft as a carpet, and the air is cold and fresh, without a trace of sniffing smoke from burning firewood.When Li Wei opened his eyes, he found that the surrounding light was quite dim, the sky was as clear as obsidian inlaid with countless golden nails, a crescent moon hung low on the top of the mountain, and the silver moonlight fell on the white snow falling from the top of the mountain On the ground, exuding a feeling of coldness and remoteness.

Li Wei tried to get up, and his mind seemed to be a little confused, but it did not hinder his actions. When he stood up and stabilized his mind, he realized that there were shadows of trees around him, and he was actually in the middle of a deep forest. wilderness.Not far away, a rushing stream is meandering through the stone riverbed, making the sound of gurgling water echoing in the ears; from time to time, you can also hear the melodious chirping of birds and the rustling of the night wind passing through the forest.

Suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment, Li Wei knew that he should be more vigilant, but he felt peaceful in his heart, as if he didn't feel the existence of danger from the subconscious, and he couldn't make himself nervous.

"What happened?" Li Wei frowned and thought about it, "I remember that I suddenly felt that my heart was beating very fast, and there was even a faint cracking sound, and then all the sounds seemed to be far away, and my eyes turned black... ...I should have passed out in the end...but how did I get here?"

"Could it be that during the time I was in a coma, the army of demons chased after me, the troops rushed to fight, the situation was unfavorable, and then... lost in the chaos?" This should be the most reasonable explanation, but Li Viktor felt instinctively that this shouldn't be the case.It was impossible for Mr. Dish, Willpus, Donner, Sir Grace, and others to leave themselves alone in the mountains, not even for their own safety.

The young griffin lord looked around and saw traces of his body lying on the wet ground covered with fallen leaves, but there were no footprints or other clues nearby.

It was as if he had fallen from the sky.

The night is getting thicker and thicker, and a faint mist is gathering from all directions. Although it does not block the light of the silver moon, it also makes the vision worse and worse.Li Wei used probing techniques to confirm the safety of his location, and then raised his head to look at a mountain standing not far ahead like a giant.

Usually in terms of strategy, high ground is always more advantageous, and Li Wei also wants to observe the surrounding terrain condescendingly to see if he can find a place he is familiar with.In any case, Li Wei always thought that he should not be far away from Wang Du.

The forest at night is of course unsafe. The slippery and muddy hillsides are full of stones and tree roots. If you are not careful, you may trip over them, and those hungry beasts are very dangerous predators. Li Wei's strength Although he has reached or even surpassed the level of the Great Knight Commander, he still has to suffer a lot if he encounters opponents like big bobcats or wolves in the dense forest.So when the griffin lord made the decision to climb up the ridge, he first gathered his energy and prepared to summon a few alchemy warriors to assist him in his exploration.

However, the development of things was completely beyond his expectation.After the bluish-white light was slightly exposed in Li Wei's hand, it did not condense into a portal, but disintegrated and disintegrated without warning, and then turned into countless fine light powders and disappeared into the void.

This change stunned Li Wei, and then he cast magic again unwillingly, this time using the fireball technique he is most familiar with.There was no abnormality when the magic was activated. Countless crimson air streams condensed in the palm of the palm, forming a hot and red light cluster... However, during the condensation process, the light cluster also disintegrated without warning, forming a scorching wave. The hot wind swept across in all directions.

"God of War Barud, why is my magic suddenly unusable?" Li Wei couldn't help blurting out in surprise.For a moment, he thought that something similar to the Merkativo Great Rift Barrier was working on him again, but he soon noticed the difference between the two.

The Mekativo Great Cracking Barrier uses an indestructible invisible barrier to cut off the connection between the Castle Heart and Levi, making it impossible for him to issue orders to the Castle Heart; the current situation is that Levi can clearly perceive the castle. The existence of the heart, the magic runes in his mind are also intact, and even the magic power consumed is very normal.However, after the magic was activated, it suddenly disintegrated and dissipated for no reason, and did not achieve any expected effect.

Li Wei tried his best to calm the panic in his heart, which took him a few minutes.When he felt calmed down, he tried the healing technique that consumed the least mana again, and the warm white light also dissipated shortly after it appeared.Although this was already expected, it still made him sigh heavily.

"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the heart of the castle, and maybe this coma is also related to it." Li Wei muttered to himself, and then showed a wry smile.He doesn't have much choice now, either wait until after dawn to start, which is likely to waste a lot of time, and this dense forest may not be safe; or start acting now, of course, risking slipping and falling on the hillside and being attacked by wild animals risks of.Neither option looked great, but Levi couldn't think of anything better.

In the end, he still clenched his long sword and carefully searched for a safe way up the mountain.Fortunately, the fog did not become thicker with the night, but Li Wei's eyes could only see a distance of about ten meters at most, and the field of vision of the probing technique was the same as during the day, but under this field of vision, he could barely see the terrain. Judging the general situation, the details on the muddy and slippery road cannot be clearly recognized.Which rock is more stable?Where is a tree root slanting out of the road?The probing technique couldn't see clearly, so Li Wei could only squint his eyes, trying to identify with the faint moonlight.

Fortunately, Li Wei staggered all the way down, neither tripping over any tree roots and falling into the mud; nor stepping on any slippery stones and smashing his head.Li Wei trekked hard for about an hour, and the bushes in front of him suddenly thinned out. Immediately afterwards, the Griffon Lord felt a cool night wind blowing over his face, and his vision suddenly widened.

When looking down from the top of the mountain, Li Wei discovered that the height of this mountain range was far beyond his imagination, and it was also different from the low-lying hills near the royal capital Fermeyer.If you have to describe it, it looks like the northern scenery that is common in the north of the Dusk Forest. The mountains stand tall like white-haired guards, the mountains are steep and precipitous, and the peaks are close to the sky.The mountains below the snow line are covered with oaks, oak trees and shrubs and thorns, as if wearing a dark green shirt.Li Wei found that the mountain he was on was not the highest one, but the drop was about 1000 meters from top to bottom, which made him feel weak in his legs and difficult to breathe.

This feeling has nothing to do with courage, but an instinctive self-protection of human beings who cannot fly in the air.Many magicians have to go through some psychological construction before they can fly freely in the sky after comprehending the flying technique. Although Li Wei has had the experience of flying in the sky on the King of Griffins several times, he still cannot be completely indifferent .

Because the top of the mountain was too high from the ground below, Li Wei couldn't see anything at first except for the thick night as dark as ink.But when his vision gradually adapted to the weak light, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded by what he saw.

He saw a huge white castle rising slowly at the foot of the mountain!

Yes, rise, there is no other word to describe it.The white castle is rising from the ground bit by bit. It is not built of bricks and stones, without craftsmen and peasants, but emerges from the depths of the earth by squeezing the earth and rocks.The speed seems to be very slow, but in fact it is quite amazing. When Li Wei first noticed the castle, there were only a few solitary towers inside the city wall, but when he came back to his senses, the castle had already taken shape, and there were countless auxiliary buildings. Already emerging from around the main building, and new buildings are added to it every moment.

"It's like mushrooms that grow rapidly after the rain..." Li Wei, who was already stunned, only had this ridiculous thought in his mind.However, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart disappeared completely, and he had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter from the appearance of this white castle.

The appearance of this white castle is the same as that of the city of glory, Fermeyer, or it looks more exquisite and gorgeous.The latter can be said to be a miracle on earth built by the wisdom of countless skilled craftsmen, while the former can be said to be the pinnacle crystallization of the combination of magic and alchemy.Even from a height of thousands of meters, the White Castle is still majestic and majestic. If he hadn't seen it once in the phantom shown by Mr. Disch, Levi thought that he would definitely be overwhelmed by the great joy And dizzy.

The true form of the Castle Heart was finally revealed to him in a miraculously magnificent sight.Li Wei could see the seven towers standing above the Ash Fortress like gray-robed guards; he could see a huge golden dome, like a glorious cathedral with a golden sun in his arms; he could also see other Familiar and unfamiliar streets and alleys, buildings and houses.

The defense capability of the castle is even more commendable. The wide city wall is large enough to allow five fully armed knights to gallop on horseback. The battlements are layer upon layer, and the guard towers are row upon row. A huge ballista cart is arranged every ten meters. Or trebuchets, even in the dark night, you can still see countless blue and white griffin flags flying on the city wall, and the guard soldiers standing next to them look as small as ants, with only the steel in their hands Spears and swords gleamed coldly.

When Li Wei was dazzled, he suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet. What happened next made him unable to believe his eyes. A pale red castle that he was very familiar with was approaching the white castle with a loud rumble. .It was originally a group of fairly large buildings, with walls as high as eight meters. The majestic main building is not inferior to the castle that the Viscount Lane's family is proud of, but compared with the White Castle, it is simply useless. Children's toys made of building blocks are just as ridiculous.

The light red castle immediately disintegrated in front of Li Wei's eyes, as if some kind of great power hit hard, causing all the buildings in the castle to be shattered, only a dozen orbs of light emerged from those buildings, and then Hovered in the air for a while, and fell into the white castle.

After the ball of light entered the White Castle, the whole castle underwent drastic changes. With the loud roar, extraordinarily gorgeous and majestic buildings appeared from the White Castle. Next to the Ashes Fortress, there were two towering giant towers. Near the Guangyao Cathedral, a hall with the symbol of crossed swords appeared.The biggest change is the Mage Guild, where the magic pattern on the original building has become more complicated and magnificent, and there is also a strange building with an open top, like a huge bird's nest.

With the final completion of the White Castle, an earth-shattering thunderbolt flew across the sky, literally tearing the night in two.The golden morning sun appeared in the eastern sky, instantly rendering half of the sky rose red, and the newborn sun jumped out of the mountains, casting countless rays of golden light, driving away the darkness on the earth, and shining on the majestic castle under Li Wei's feet.The white castle shone brightly in golden light under the sunlight, and looked coldly as if it contained a light source.Li Wei stared at everything in front of him intently, and sighed involuntarily.

"The city of miracles, really the city of miracles."

"Master Li Wei, can you hear me? Please answer if you hear it! Master Li Wei?" Mr. Dish's anxious old voice suddenly sounded in his ears, startling Li Wei who was immersed in emotion. Jump.

"Mr. Dish? I can hear you! Your voice is clear!"

"Gods bless, Master Levi, you are really fine, that's good, that's good!" Mr. Dish let out a long breath, and there was a hint of joy in his voice, "Well, you The current position is...well, let's come over here."

"Us?" Levi thought a little strangely, "Didn't Mr. Dish come here alone?"

Mr. Dish's efficiency is definitely very high. Before Li Wei could turn his head around, a bluish-white ray of light spread around him, but the person who rushed out of the portal right after that was not the old magician who was dressed in decent butler clothes. Instead of a teacher, it was the armored female knight Fleischer.

"Hey, Miss Frasier?" Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise, but immediately he was hugged tightly by two arms, with such force that he almost squeezed out the last breath of air in his chest.

"Master Li Wei, your sudden coma this time scared many people." The old magician, Mr. Dish, was the second to walk out of the portal, followed by the Grand Knight Commander Donna , the vice archbishop of Belial and the dark alchemist Master Youyue.Levi can understand the reason why Mr. Dish brought them here together. All three of them have sworn a soul blood oath to Levi. It can be said that they are already a community of destiny to a certain extent. Too much to hide from them.

As for Miss Frasier...

Li Wei looked helplessly at the female knight who was hugging his body tightly, with a mixed expression of emotion and embarrassment on his face.After the fall of the capital, he has been very worried about the safety of Miss Fleisher who stayed in St. White Rock Castle. If the responsibility on his shoulders is too heavy and he cannot leave for a moment, Li Wei would like to ride a griffin. Instead of just sending a big crow to deliver the news, the King of the King went to the Holy White Rock Castle.

The overall situation was the top priority, so the Griffon Lord could only convince himself not to think too much, and hoped that the defenders of St. Whitestone Castle—especially Miss Fleisher—would be safe and sound.

"Li Wei, what happened to you suddenly scared me to death!" Although Miss Fraser was smiling, tears were still shining in her eyes. "I don't listen to those guys' nonsense anymore, what vigilance, what precautions, what responsibility on the last blood of the royal family, all go away! Levi Stone, tell me, you want to seize the supreme power of the kingdom ?"

"What?" Levi was confused by Miss Frasier's sudden question, "What blood, what power? Miss Frasier, what are you talking about?"

"Don't worry about it! Levi Stone, I don't want to leave you, I never want to, I just want you to say something, do you agree?"

"Hey, this is this..." Li Wei felt dizzy for a while, and subconsciously hugged Miss Fraser's body, staring blankly at her apple-red cheeks. "Could it be..."

"Master Levi, you have been chased by Miss Frasier." Mr. Dish pointed out solemnly, with a solemn and solemn expression on his old face, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth showed a particularly happy mood.

"Mr. Dish..."

"Hey, Li Wei, it's a man who wants to answer quickly!" Another familiar voice sounded, and then a tall figure in black armor walked out of the portal. It was the cursed black man named Sir Rodriguez Lord Dayton. "I didn't remember that there was such a thing as twitching in the motto of knights!"

"Ah... yes, that, Miss Frasier, if you allow..." Levi took a step back in accordance with noble etiquette, then knelt down on one knee, pulled Frasier's right hand, and took off the top gauntlet, and then pressed a light kiss. "...I swear to you that I will never be separated. I swear that starting from today, tomorrow will be the same, and every day will be like this, until I step into the eternal night kingdom of the sleeping guide."

"It's really gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory." Deputy Archbishop Beria said, twisting his khaki beard.

"That's right, the history of the kingdom has opened a new page." Mr. Dish smiled thoughtfully and happily, then raised his hands to make a gesture, and with the falling of the silver light spot, there was an instant on the top of the mountain. A strangely shaped silver table appeared, on which stood a jug of fine wine and glasses equal to the number of people present.

"To celebrate this beautiful day, let's all have a drink together?"
