"The convoy cannot drive into the castle. Please forgive me, Chief Hao and get off with me."

Haoyi was still curiously looking at the large-scale and dark ancient castle in the distance, and Xue Yue's slightly apologetic explanation rang out in his ears.

"It's okay, the guest will follow the host's will. Hao is not a person who is unreasonable." Haoyi put away the surprised look on his face, turned around and smiled faintly, "Besides, this road is not too far, and the old general can walk, how dare I beg you?"

"That's good, Chief Hao, please." As they spoke, the two got off the motorcycle. Xue Yue smiled happily and said with a sideways.

"Elder General, please." Haoyi quickly gave in politeness and humility, and the two walked side by side toward the ancient castle in the distance.

The road leading to the ancient castle is a flat avenue paved with bluestones of more than meter wide, and is said to be flat, but there are obviously uneven shallow pits on each bluestone under your feet, probably the mark of time left by the wind, sun and rain.

The place where Hao Yi and others got off the bus was hundreds of steps away from the tall arched stone door of the castle, and it had a considerable slope. For ordinary people, it was indeed a bit difficult to walk. Hao Yi, who had a body that God knew how strong, naturally would not care about this rather difficult road. What surprised him was that Old Xue Yue, who was over 60 years old, was still not as old as he walked. Xue Yue even introduced the origin of the castle to Hao Yi while walking, but he didn't even feel breathing.

"When we Ricktown people set foot on Lobito, this castle was already here. It is said that when our ancestors discovered it, it was like an abandoned castle, full of broken bricks and tiles. It took our ancestors several years to renovate it, and then used it as a temporary base camp. It was from this castle that our Ricktown people really took root here. It can be said that it is the birthplace of our Ricktown history."

When introducing the history of this ancient castle, Xue Yue's face was full of solemnity, just like a devout believer paying holy city in his mind.

"For a long time, it was regarded as the capital by us Rickton people. It was not until the city of Santa Fe was built that it gradually disappeared from the sight of ordinary people and became an ancient castle with far more symbolic significance than practical significance. It was probably more than a hundred years ago that the castle was officially designated as a forbidden area by the government. Ordinary ordinary people were allowed to enter the castle to visit only on some special and important festivals. Simply put, it actually became a museum representing the history of our Rickton ancestors."

"Museum." Hao Yi was stunned and couldn't help but stagnate. His eyes were involuntarily attracted by a circular building in the shape of a fountain pool on both sides of the Bluestone Avenue. These strange circular buildings that appear on both sides of the avenue at a distance were so familiar that Hao Yi even suspected that he had seen such a building.

"That's right, the museum and the main building of the castle were divided into 9981 areas. Each area displays many items representing the struggle history of the Ricktons in a certain period." Hearing Haoyi's surprise, Xue Yue's face suddenly burst into a very proud smile, but the smile just appeared suddenly and disappeared, and a solemn and solemn look reappeared on Xue Yue's face: "Our ancestors gave this castle a very loud name, called Holy Spirit City."

"Holy Spirit City." Haoyi's tongue was knotted again, but his heart couldn't help but move, and a vaguely familiar feeling quietly climbed into his heart.

"Yes, the Holy Spirit City." Xue Yue stopped subconsciously, raised his white head and said in an extremely solemn tone: "In the minds of all of us Rickton people, it is like the Holy Spirit."

"Ahem, the old general said so, is this castle still allowed to live?" Xue Yue's almost fanatical expression made Haoyi unable to help but get goose bumps in his body, and asked in a low voice.

When Haoyi led a task force into the Ricktown Star Zone and contacted Xue Yue for the first time, Xue Yue mentioned that the mysterious queen who manipulated the entire Ricktown behind the scenes wanted to meet with Haoyi in person. After leaving the highest shogun camp of the Ricktown Army, although Xue Yue did not make this agreement again, Haoyi knew clearly in his heart that he was going to take him to meet this mysterious Queen of the Mingyue Empire.

"Only people are naturally not allowed to live in this ancient castle." Xue Yue did not agree with Haoyi's doubts, but just smiled mysteriously, then stopped talking, and continued to walk towards the ancient castle.

"Overyone, uh, that's right." Hao Yi suddenly realized, shrugged and walked a few steps to catch up with Xue Yue, wanting to hear his introduction to the ancient castle again. However, for some reason, Xue Yue suddenly seemed to be out of interest, just walked forward with a solemn step with an old face.

After a while, Hao Yi and his wife were less than twenty steps away from the giant arch two or three feet tall. At such a close distance, the castle, which was originally faintly shrouded in a layer of gray haze, suddenly became clear.

"I'm the old man, why do I look more and more like it..." When the castle's outline clearly reflected into Haoyi's eyes, he felt a little moved again, hidden deep in his memory. Scattered pictures of the unique architectural style of the Star Spirit clan jumped out, and unexpectedly overlapped with the castle in front of him, which made Haoyi feel a little lost in his mind.

"Buzzing, buzzing," a strange and awkward sound made Haoyi's heart rush again. Looking closely, the giant arch slowly opened itself. The door was dark and deep, and there was no sign of a person, faintly revealing a bit of weirdness.

Seeing the door open, Xue Yue paused slightly, turned around and rushed to the adjutant and the Marines not far behind him, and nodded in a gesture. The young adjutant of staff understood and immediately called the guards to stop moving forward. He was placed on both sides of the avenue to act as a temporary gatekeeper, but he did not intend to continue to guard Xue Yue.

"Absolutely, President Hao is not carrying a weapon." Hao Yi was a little curious, and Xue Yue suddenly turned around and asked with a smile.

"No, what."

"Oh, that's right, this castle is regarded as a holy place by us Rickton people. No one is strictly prohibited from bringing weapons into the castle." Xue Yue explained with a smile.

"Learn, understand." Haoyi said suddenly with a smile.

"President Hao, please follow me. The passages in the castle are a bit complicated and may make people a little confused." After a meaningful explanation, Xue Yue led Haoyi and the other two into the castle one after another.

Behind the giant arch was a rather spacious hall. Haoyi and his wife had just passed through the giant arch. A cool and gloomy wind suddenly blew. Oil lamps with blue flames were fixed on the stone pillars and suddenly lit up one after another, making the originally dark and gloomy hall gradually clear. Except for rows of thick stone pillars that lead to the arched roof, there was no other conspicuous things in the hall. However, some strange light seemed to be vaguely flashing on the four walls in the distance.

"Omkka..." Before Haoyi could come back to his senses, the awkward sound rang behind him again, and the giant arch actually closed itself.

The sudden movement once again added a bit of weirdness to the castle, which made Haoyi's brows subconsciously frown slightly. However, seeing Xue Yue in front of him still walking forward without looking back, Haoyi had to bite the bullet and follow quickly.

There are several wide stone steps at the end of the hall, winding and winding straight to the other floor of the space behind the hall. Xue Yue seemed to be quite familiar with the environment here. Without any hesitation, he led Haoyi to one of the stone steps and walked up step by step. After about a hundred stone steps, the two of them came to a huge and spacious corridor. On both sides of the corridor were closed stone doors, with some strange reliefs on the doors, and on both sides were semi-human stone oil lamps, radiating faint blue light.

"This is probably the exhibition hall that Lao Xue Yue said." Haoyi swept over the strange text patterns on the stone gate and secretly guessed in his heart.

After passing through the corridor, there was another hall slightly smaller than the previous hall, and there were also several stone steps leading to all directions. Without any hesitation, Xue Yue led Haoyi to one of them.

In this way, the corridor suddenly had stone steps. The two of them wandered around this maze-like castle for half an hour. After passing through another stone gate, Hao Yi suddenly felt that he had come to a space like a valley. Above the valley was the clear sky of Lobito, but the bright skylight seemed to illuminate the valley, and the entire space was also shrouded in a hazy and dim light.

"It's here, it's right in front." Haoyi was looking around curiously. Xue Yue next to him suddenly raised his hand and pointed to an ancient hall in front of him that seemed to be carved on a cliff. He said to Haoyi in a low voice: "I'm sorry for being rude, I can only send it here. Chief Hao, please come here."

"Thank you, the old general." Although Xue Yue didn't say much, Haoyi naturally knew that the mysterious queen who held the power of the entire Rickton must be waiting for him in the ancient hall in front of him. So, just turned around and smiled faintly, Haoyi raised his foot and stepped onto a narrow stone bridge leading to the ancient hall without hesitation.

Under the stone bridge is a bottomless abyss. From time to time, bursts of bone-bending wind blow up, making people shudder. The ancient hall standing on the cliff not far away is like an ancient beast, looking down at Haoyi who was walking towards it step by step.

Although he knew that Xue Yue would never do anything against him, for some reason, Haoyi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. The stone bridge was not long, but Haoyi seemed to have been walking for a long time. When he finally arrived in front of the huge stone gate of the ancient hall, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

"I X, this old guy..." He turned around subconsciously, but Hao Yi unexpectedly discovered that Xue Yue, who should have stood on the other end of the stone bridge, was missing.

"Buzzing," Without any warning, there was another strange sound behind him that the stone door opened on its own, which made Haoyi, who had always been fearless, even was shocked.

"Welcome, the future Star Spirit King." As soon as he turned around, he had not seen clearly the scene behind the stone gate. A cold female voice seemed to come from the void, suddenly penetrated into Haoyi's ears, making him feel nervous again for no reason...
