Heart of the Castle

Chapter 552 Brand New Castle, Brand New Direction

Because the situation is still grim, the good-natured laughter that made Li Wei feel awkward lasted for a short time. Soon, under the effect of Mr. Dish's flying magic, everyone soared side by side in the sky and landed on the majestic high wall of the newborn Castle Heart. before the barrier.

Dozens of bronze horns blew the loudest and most resonant notes at the same time, followed by the bells of the high tower, and the rumble of war drums, like a series of thunderbolts rolling across the sky, all the sounds merged into a passionate war song over the castle Echoes endlessly.Accompanied by a heavy creaking sound, the thick bronze gate engraved with countless ancient magic runes slowly opened, and a group of heavily armed euphorbia warriors stepped out of it with neat steps, and then lined up on both sides of the gate to greet them.

"Long live the griffin lord, long live the city lord!"

A sonorous and powerful cry came out from hundreds of throats at the same time, and the refined halberd gleaming with cold light was raised like a dense forest of steel. Li Wei's heart suddenly thumped wildly, and he suddenly realized that this was the heart of the castle. Salute to its true owner.This masterpiece that embodies the highest level of alchemy has finally recovered its former glory, and will bloom even more brilliant light in his own hands from now on.

Levi subconsciously turned his head to look at Mr. Dish. The expression on the old magician's face seemed a bit unusual, mixed with relief, emotion, joy and a hint of bitterness.But then the old man noticed Li Wei's gaze, and his expression immediately retracted, smiling at the young griffin lord.

"Glory to the Griffon banner, Master Levi."

"No, glory belongs to each of us." Li Wei replied softly, and then took the female knight with a surprised expression, "Fleischer, and everyone, welcome to my castle, this is the starting point of the dawn of the North , and the source of all the miracles that have happened to me."

Walking on the streets that are exactly the same as those in the city of Glory, Firmeyer, except for Mr. Dish and Sir Rodriguez, everyone else has a dazed look as if they are in a dream.This white castle is a hundred times larger than the original pale red sandstone castle, but the number of residents formed from alchemy souls has not increased accordingly, and the streets seem quite deserted.Moreover, every building has not been baptized by any years and winds and frosts, with an almost unreal dreamy feeling, which makes them have the illusion of going all the way back along the long river of history and suddenly walking into the years hundreds of years ago.

The difference from the real capital is that the core building of the Castle Heart is not located under the Ashes Fortress, but in another block far away from the Gray Fortress.The building looked very familiar, and Li Wei stopped and looked at it for a full minute before he remembered where it corresponded to in the capital.

"This is...the residence of Grand Duke Raul?"

"That's right." Mr. Dish nodded in affirmation, "But this was the site of King Arthur I's palace back then, and it was also the first building built by Firmeyer."

This building in the heart of the castle is different from the Grand Duke's mansion in the royal capital. In the latter, only the main body is still intact. Most of the high-rise towers and statues have long been in disrepair and most of them have fallen into disrepair. Moreover, the walls and auxiliary buildings have undergone many repairs. It is almost impossible to recognize the majestic posture of the royal palace at that time; and the former is not so much a royal palace as a huge fortress tightly protected by a thick wall up to eight meters high, and there is a wall several meters deep. The protection of the trenches is simply a city within a city, and dozens of guards holding halberds and standing still can be seen on the top of the city.

However, this is the true portrayal of the palace where His Majesty King Arthur I lived in history. Li Wei once heard the old red-robed scholar Master Sugard tell the chronicles of the Kingdom of Arthur. The King Jian was once a brave and fearless knight. As a commander with outstanding military exploits, the Oath River Basin is where his fief is located.The king's capital, Fermeyer, was originally just a battle fortress built of stones and logs. After nearly a hundred years of continuous additions and constructions by several generations of kings, it finally formed the familiar Flanders, the glorious lord. The city of miracles in La Blessed.

Li Wei and his party entered the palace, then walked up the spiral staircase to the famous round table meeting hall.Unlike the luxuriously decorated hall of the Grand Duke Lauer's residence, this chamber still retains the practical style of Arthur I's era.The only furnishings were a gigantic round table and thirteen identical high-backed chairs, both of which were made of oak, giving them a heavy, unpretentious look.The walls of the hall are made of extremely hard obsidian, without any decoration on them, not even the family crests of the twelve Knights of the Round Table, only thirteen brass discs corresponding to the seats are embedded in the walls, twelve of them are The surface of the first disc is as smooth as a mirror, and the disc facing the entrance of the meeting hall is engraved with a griffin with wings spread out and a mighty and intimidating demeanor.

It looked like that was the seat that belonged to the owner of the castle.

It wasn't until after sitting in that chair that Li Wei discovered a secret in the round table meeting room.It looked like the rest of the chair, but its position had been deliberately and cleverly concealed to appear slightly higher than any of the others, and to attract more attention.This discovery gave Li Wei a very weird feeling. In his heart, the glorious image of the great Arthur I seemed less dazzling, but it seemed much more real and vivid.

The meeting that had been interrupted due to Li Wei's sudden coma and inexplicable disappearance was reconvened in this round table discussion hall.There were only seven participants, which was far less than the meeting held in Duncan Village, but it was even more important than that. Some secrets that cannot be disclosed at will can be revealed openly here.

The meeting lasted for a short time, and almost only the two elders, Mr. Disch and Vice Archbishop Beria, were talking, and the others played more of a listening role.The development direction and struggle strategy of Beijing County in the future set the tone in this short meeting. Due to the advancement of the powerful bargaining chip of the Castle Heart, no matter what the future development will be, at least for now, all the people participating in the meeting will Have the confidence to win.

Twenty-ten minutes later, with the blue-white light of teleportation magic flashing, three of Li Wei's blood allies accompanied Miss Frasier to leave, and went to find ways to stabilize people's hearts.Levi, Mr. Dish and Sir Rodriguez stayed behind, and there was another important decision that had to be made as soon as possible before the young Griffin Lord.

How to choose the new buildings that appear after the Castle Heart is advanced.

"The changes brought about by the advancement of Castle Heart will be great, and will gradually appear in the future. Originally, alchemy fighters were mainly composed of pikemen, archers, and swordsmen, and the Griffin Air Force was the auxiliary force. Some Griffin Knights are played by alchemy swordsmen and crusader swordsmen, especially the latter, although their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of ordinary high-level knights, but after all, the purpose of manufacturing them is foot soldiers, and they can't play well as knights. Come with the charging power." Mr. Dish introduced to Levi while summoning the long-lost new building light curtain.

Compared with the original, many places on the light curtain have been filled, and at the same time, more blank places are exposed.Almost every basic building has more phantoms extending to the side, making Li Wei dazzled.

"Mr. Dish, what is the current energy reserve of Castle Heart? How many new buildings can be built under the premise of ensuring daily consumption and replenishment of troops?"

The old magician narrowed his eyes and pondered, then he spread his five fingers on his right hand, and a series of small symbols flashing with various colors danced endlessly on his fingertips. When those symbols finally stabilized, Mr. Dish let out a sound of satisfaction in his throat. grunt.

"It doesn't look bad." He pointed to the small symbols floating in the air and said, "The energy of the castle heart has been consumed a lot during this period, but with more accumulation, most of the buildings can be built. The only The problem is that after the advanced level, the heart of the castle has not been completely stabilized. Every time a new building is built, its structure will be under greater pressure, so to be on the safe side, I suggest that no more than six buildings be built this time. Buildings can wait for three months and build gradually."

"Very well, I will follow your suggestion." As Li Wei said, he turned his attention back to the light curtain of the building panel and began to light up the building he was going to build.

Because there are only six choices, Li Wei feels that it is easy to make a choice.Of course, the two new high-level arms buildings are the first choice, namely the monastery and the arena. After completion, there will be two series of alchemy warriors, priests and cavalry; For Northern County, the food pressure is very high, so the Temple of Abundance, which can double the food production of the Castle Heart, must also be built; then the auxiliary building of the blacksmith's war machinery factory and the auxiliary building library of the magic tower; the former can Manufactured a variety of alchemy war machines with complex structures, including siege vehicles, catapults and ballista vehicles, both in size and power are far stronger than similar weapons that can be produced at present.

On the choice of the last building, Li Wei hesitated for a while.The treasure warehouse in the market square may be a good choice. You can use the power of faith to exchange pseudo-artifacts like endless food bags. Judging from the introduction of the next level unfolded on the light curtain, those pseudo-artifacts have magical powers. Some of them are not inferior to those from the famous Legendary Domain; the Alchemy Soul Laboratory is another option, this laboratory can provide an Alchemy Soul with unique abilities every week, this special soul is not used to make ordinary Alchemy Souls Instead of being a warrior, he created a leader of arms like the Griffin King, who was far superior to his companions in terms of strength and wisdom.

However, these two buildings have a common fatal weakness, that is, they need to consume a lot of power of faith, and as the most precious power of faith among all energies, there is an equally huge demand for building advanced buildings, researching magic, and promoting units.

In the end, Li Wei chose the Hall of Valor, the auxiliary building of the tavern, on the suggestion of Mr. Dish. Li Wei didn't know the actual function of this building, and the introduction on the panel was only a few sentences, and the words were vague.

"Absorbing and reshaping unwilling souls into heroes that can be hired in the tavern...what the hell does that mean?"

Li Wei repeated this sentence over and over several times, finally shrugged his shoulders, and decided not to think too much, anyway, as long as the building appears, the real role will be highlighted.

Those who don't know the inside story may be baffled by the strange marching method of the human troops who evacuated the capital.This troop first drove desperately through the night, as if an army of demons was chasing after them, but then they stopped at a village less than half a day away from the king's capital, and it took two full days to stop.

The terrain near this village is entirely composed of low hills and plains, which are very suitable for large-scale troops to fight, and the village itself is not dangerous, and the simple fences are not even effective in preventing hungry beasts from attacking livestock, let alone It is said to resist the attack of the demon army.

Garrisoning troops here is simply asking for death.This does not require any rich experience in war, it only needs the minimum common sense to be able to think of it.However

The reason is simple.The guardian of the north, the important minister of the kingdom, the head of the Griffin Knights, Viscount Li Weiston suddenly fainted during the meeting in the morning, and then fell into a deep coma with unknown reasons.The Gryphon Riders dismissed the suggestion of continuing their journey until his life was secured.

Not everyone is willing to stay here, waiting for the army of demons who don't know when to appear.As an important minister of the kingdom, Sats Enhell, the stellar mentor, met Wilps, the acting head of the Griffin Knights, and explained to him the danger of staying here with eloquent eloquence.

Wilps' answer was very simple, with the decisive taste unique to soldiers.He nodded in agreement with everything that Teacher Xingchen said, and at the same time drew his sword across the neck of the important minister of the kingdom, and the flame wheel fighting spirit that soared from the blade immediately burned the white beard that Teacher Xingchen had carefully groomed to ashes. .

"Until it is confirmed that Master Li Wei is safe and sound, all the Griffon Knights will not leave here. Master Star Instructor, if I hear you continue to spread similar suggestions among the coalition forces, then you will not be the one to stop next time." beard."

Instructor Xingchen retreated with a distressed expression, cursing Wilpus in a low voice for being rude and barbaric, like an uncivilized beast.However, an eloquent tongue may be able to turn black and white, but it really can't deal with the beast's claws. Satzienhell thought for a while, and finally decided to keep his mouth shut.

At least the demon army may not appear soon, or even at all, but if Wilpus wants to chop off his head, no one in the coalition army is willing to take the lead.

Another important minister of the kingdom didn't plan to show his face from the beginning. Perhaps losing his lifeblood would help his mind to clear up. Mr. Bamili Yang's mind is much more delicate than that of the seemingly wise star mentor.The status of an important minister of the kingdom is now worthless at all, no, worthless is still the best result. In the minds of many speculative people, the important ministers of the Kingdom of Arthur are simply the best stepping stones to flatter the new forces.

Unlike the Star Academy which was completely destroyed by the flames of war, Director Bamili Yang, who is in charge of intelligence, had long noticed that the situation in the capital was extremely strange, and his instinctive prudence allowed him to transfer some of his forces away from the capital, so he was lucky enough to keep it.On the afternoon of the day when he was stationed in Duncan Village, the head of the court reconnected with his subordinates' eyeliner. Of course, Sleepless Eye's intelligence network was severely damaged, but at least more than half of the staff remained, including four famous members of the Thieves Union. The bloody dagger is impressively in sight.

After learning about the latest information, Director Bamili Yang fell into a long silence, his face still covered with makeup and his signature smile, but his hands and fingers tucked into his sleeves were beating anxiously, showing that A fierce psychological struggle within him.

Although the blood dagger has a good reputation, it is not a shadow assassin on the side of the devil. They may be sure to deal with ordinary high-ranking knights, but they will definitely not be able to assassinate a title knight, not to mention that this title knight must have stepped into the world steadily. The realm of a sword-bearing lord may even touch the threshold of a sword-bearing baron.At most, they can only disturb the morale of the army by poisoning and arson. However, except for the Griffin Knight who still maintains a steel-like stable posture, the morale of the other troops has been so chaotic that it is on the verge of collapse. If you get the benefits, you will help the devil a lot.

Director Bamili Yang doesn't want to do things for the devil, at least not for free.

However, giving up this is likely to be the last chance to come back?The corner of Manager Bamilian Yang's mouth couldn't help twitching.He is already ready to go to the North Border County. If everything goes well, Director Bamilian is sure that he will not have any other thoughts at all.But the griffin lord fell into a coma at this fatal moment. The most direct result was that the human army that was united with great difficulty once again had a huge crack, and many arms stretched out to the man who appeared because of Li Wei's fall. power vacuum.

"The vast majority of them are overconfident idiots who are blinded by desire." Manager Bamili Yang thought with a sneer. During the execution, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside, and then a pale royal nobleman knocked open the door. Several blood daggers immediately made a gesture to intercept, but Bamilian made a gesture , blocking them.

"Sir Bulwar is one of our own." The court chief said in a gentle voice, looking at the royal nobleman with moist eyes, examining the expression on his face. "Your identity should be kept secret. If there is any important news that requires you to risk your identity being leaked, you should inform me immediately?"

"Lord Bamiri Yang, it's Li Wei...Master Li Wei has just woken up, and Miss Fleishir Kingsworth has revealed her identity to him. The last blood of the kingdom has sworn to each other with the Griffin Lord, never Separate!"

There were shocking voices in the room, but the court chief took the news calmly, at least there was no surprised expression on his face. "Is that so? Maybe it's a good result." He said to himself, and then as if he suddenly realized something, the eunuch turned his head and looked out the window.

A huge griffin is soaring in the sky, the sunlight penetrates the clouds and falls on the golden wings of this beast, it looks as if the wings are burning with immortal flames.

"The history of the Kingdom of Arthur has opened a new page... Maybe it will be the last page, who knows?" The eunuch's muttering was almost only heard by himself, and then burst out from the corner of his mouth. With a sly smile, he flicked the fingers in his sleeve, and put the crystal ball that symbolized the sleepless eye back into the dark pocket in his palm.

"Leviston, let me see how far you can go."
