Chapter 7 Hidden Mist Castle
Wuxiong Castle, located at the edge of Winlington, the combination of the western suburbs and the southern suburbs, still nominally belongs to the Nansu Ancient Castle District. The entire ancient castle area, all the ancient buildings combined, may be more famous than Wuxiong Castle.
The current owner of the Mist Hidden Castle is the Jacobs family among the four nobles of the Empire.
The four major families in the empire are the southern families with the most historical and blood qualities. However, they succeeded and failed by blood ties. Therefore, although they were real aristocratic families, they could only become commercial families in the end and were the only family that had nothing to do with politics.
The Jacobs family is the most politically influential of the four major families. Their patriarch Alec; the Duke of Jacobs was the regent of the empire. The eldest son Rentino; the Marquis of Jacobs was the chief of the Imperial Law and Political Department. The second son Jackbe obtained an earl title and a vacancies as the chief of the Winlington Security Department. The three daughters married three important figures of the empire, and in this case they scattered, forming a huge bureaucratic network.
The Misty Hidden Castle was bought by His Excellency the Great Duke thirty years ago. At that time, he might have the idea and plan to uncover the secret laboratory of Electra, but thirty years are enough to let all ambitions be wiped out.
What Xiu Yi didn't expect was that the reason why the great duke really made up his mind to sell the property was not someone else, but Xiu Yi himself.
The reason is very simple. The emergence and counterattack of Shuyi was the most affected by the Imperial Law and Political Department. The reason why Raschel was able to become the highest commander of the Rat Hunting Operation was not only because of the support of Chaklay and Padgett, but the most important point was Lentino; Marquis Jacobs trusted him very much. He was punished for convicting senior officials that year, which was Lentino; Jacobs saved him and sent him to Shenzhen and Hong Kong as a sheriff.
But now, Raschel has not been able to achieve results.
Xiuyi's counterattack was fierce and fierce. Before Rasher caught him, Lentino; Marquis Jacobs had been scolded countless times by the Imperial Emperor Strick VI. However, Lentino; Earl of Jacobs always trusted Rasher. He believed that if Rasher could not catch Sue, then no one might be able to catch Sue.
After all, Xiu Yi is indeed not an ordinary criminal. He has teleportation array technology and can come and go at will. His experience on Purgatory Island fully demonstrates this person's cunning method. For this reason, even the emperor did not immediately replace others.
However, for the Jacobs family, the emergence of Seoiglair still seriously affected the status of the marquis. If this continues, it is normal for the marquis to lose his official position.
The Grand Duke believed that the Misty Hidden Castle was an unknown object.
He invested too much in this castle, died many alchemists and lost countless money. The young man who made the eldest son unstable was also an excellent alchemist. When people became superstitious, they could really connect everything. So the Mizuki Castle became a burden in the heart of the Grand Duke, as unknown as Xiu Yiglare. The Grand Duke hoped that he would never have anything to do with alchemy in this life. For him, maintaining family glory and power status was the most important thing, so he couldn't wait to take action on the castle.
But he never expected that the Shuiglair he hated would be the buyer of his castle.
This is what the world is trying to make people mess with.
Yinyue Peak is the branch at the edge of Mount Lelegula.
The huge Lilegula Mountain almost penetrates the entire continent and becomes a natural barrier for the Lance Empire. The Yinyue Peak is a small tentacle that extends to the empire, which is a small territorial requirement to protect half of the Lance Empire.
This originally low and ordinary hill has become one of the famous attractions of the empire because of the castle located under the peak.
No one knows why the fog is everywhere at the foot of the mountain all year round, but even if it is several miles away, you can clearly see the hazy fog scene.
Occasionally, drought thunder struck down the sky, illuminating the fog and showing the outline of the castle.
Tall, majestic, spectacular.
The fog is not very thick, and it only appears outside. When you walk to the castle, your vision will be great.
What surprised Xiuyi was that the fog-hide castle in front of him was almost no different from the castle on Purgatory Island in terms of its building scale and style.
The same is the central high tower, next to the tower is an attached tower. The castle is made of huge stones, and there is even a corridor where guards guard guards guarding the guards at the top of the city. However, there is no moat, but there is a wide and large iron gate.
On both sides of the large iron gate, Xiu Yi saw two majestic stone statues made of four-winged toothed beasts, with exquisite carvings, even the roots and hairs were extremely clear, and the size ratio was completely based on the size of the body.
"These two stone statues, like the castle, are left over hundreds of years ago. They are all relics of Electra. The past castle owners have loved this place very much. Every thing that may have been used by the legendary alchemist, and they have kept it as complete as possible. Of course, there are also a few castle owners who don't know each other and have tried to move these two stone statues to a certain extent, but the result is..."
The person who spoke was a housekeeper of the Jacobs family.
When he learned that someone wanted to buy this castle, the Jacobs family immediately sent a well-informed guide.
Unlike selling real estate elsewhere, everyone who tries to buy the Misty Castle is not the house itself, but its former owner. Therefore, the castle does not have to spend all its effort to introduce its benefits. On the contrary, they should take the initiative to fulfill their obligations to remind the other party of what they should pay attention to.
"How is the result?" Xiu Yi asked at this moment.
"The person who tried to move the stone statue was struck by a sudden lightning." The housekeeper replied: "Although this is a place that alchemists are afraid of, ordinary people should be cautious." The housekeeper did not know what family the Dardanelles family was. Read on mobile phone
m) However, the boy who can be accompanied by Mrs. Christine and leaned on her like a bird is always worthy of attention. He has decided to inform the patriarch of the situation immediately after he goes back.
"What else should I pay attention to?" Xiuyi continued to ask.
"Actually not much." The housekeeper smiled and said, "Just remember a few things after buying this castle. The first thing is not to easily change the architectural layout here. It's strange that this castle has been going through hundreds of years, but there is no sign of damage. It is very strong and only needs to be cleaned. There is no need to worry about other issues at all."
"That's because there is a magic circle here that maintains all this." Xiu Yi said lightly.
"It turns out that you are also an alchemist, yes, some alchemists have said this before." The butler sighed in his heart: "But no one knows how this magic array works."
"Tell me other things to pay attention to."
"Since you are also an alchemist, it's a lot to say. Please come with me, I'll take you to the main hall first."
The housekeeper took the lead in walking into the castle, with Soui and Christine, and Lilith following behind, and Barkler and Eagle and others.
Interestingly, when Christine and Lilith entered side by side, Christine deliberately or unintentionally dragged back a little, making Lilith closer to Shuyi, which made Lilith feel much better.
Christine knew very well that as a winner in love, try not to show arrogant and domineering appearance as much as possible. On the contrary, some moderate concessions can avoid unnecessary hostility. Lilith is still young, and she may be able to kill Christine with one hand, but Christine has too many ways to prevent her from attacking herself.
On the contrary, you can be good sisters.
Walking into the gate of the castle, Shuyi seemed to have returned to Purgatory Island.
The layout of the entire castle is almost exactly the same as that of Purgatory Island.
Under the leadership of the butler, they soon came to the main hall. The butler began to introduce the arrangement and everything around him, but Xiu Yi was completely clear.
The main hall is very large, with six large stone pillars supporting the entire tower, supporting a vast space. However, the main hall is empty and there is nothing.
Xiuyi stood in one of the positions, but the image of Avril appeared in his mind.
This shadow has been suppressed by him for too long, so at this moment, I finally couldn't help but jump out.
I still remember when I first met, Avril sat where she was standing, complaining loudly about her servants. At that time, she was standing where the housekeeper was standing. It was that day that he cleverly told Avril and asked her to go to the jungle with him. It was that day that he mastered the mystery of the use of puppets, so that he could later apply to Neil. It was that day that she gradually became, no longer so arrogant, and became dependent and trusting in herself.
Yes, it's at this position under his feet.
Xiu Yi did not expect that the castle on Purgatory Island had been destroyed, and a castle with the same structure as on Purgatory Island would appear again here.
Is it a coincidence? Or something else?
Hines has been here!
Xiuyi found the answer almost the first time.
Why didn't he die? He walked out of the castle and let the empire rebuilt the Purgatory Island Castle in this pattern. Is there any special significance here?
He turned to the butler and asked, "What else should I pay attention to here?"
The butler had already seen that the boy in front of him was everyone's heads, so he answered respectfully: "It's the tower in the castle, which can only go up to the third floor."
Only reach the third floor? Xiu Yiling: "Let's go to the tower to take a look."
He stepped away.
There are four doors in the main hall, which lead to different directions. Xiu Yi went to the tower. The butler was slightly stunned: "Master Dardanell, have you been here?"
Xiuyi stopped, and he looked back at the butler, with a smile on his face: "No, I haven't been here, but I guess he should be leaving here."
"So that's the case." The housekeeper laughed: "Then you guessed right, please come with me."
Although Xiu Yi denied that he had been to the castle, the butler still felt puzzled. The castle has a very large structure. Unless he is familiar with the place, no one can quickly find the right direction.
Most of the people who are housekeepers for the big family have a very good mind. If they don’t have the ability to observe their faces and colors, they will not be able to do this at all. This point that Xiu Yi inadvertently made the housekeeper confused, but he didn’t say anything, but just did his duty well.
"This is the forbidden area?" Xiu Yi asked.
Standing on the third floor of the tower and looking at the stairs leading to the fourth floor, Xiu Yi felt an unknown feeling in his heart.
The internal structure of this tower is almost the same as that of Purgatory Island, but the stairs leading to the fourth floor have completely changed.
The stairs leading to the fourth floor are made of black ink-shaped stones, and are pitch black and shiny. There is a door on the stairs that blocks everyone's way. This does not exist on Purgatory Island.
I don’t know what was made of, and it shone with a strange light. Xiu Yi could easily feel the magical aura left on it. In fact, you can see it without feeling it. There is a huge hexagram of star formation carved on the door.
This is the largest hexagram array diagram Xiu Yi has ever seen, covering almost the entire door, and the six light spots flashed with strange light, but did not give Xiu Yi any sense of danger.
"It is also the real reason why Misty Hidden Castle became the Castle of Death." The housekeeper replied seriously: "People who have never come to this castle think that Electra's secret needs to be found. In fact, there is no need to find it at all. This is it. As long as you don't try to enter this door and move the main layout here, no one will be in danger."
"So, most of the dead are on the fourth level?"
"Yes." The housekeeper replied: "The door can be opened, and you can do it as long as you understand a little alchemy. But when you go in, don't think about coming out again."
Christine and Lilith both nervously grabbed Xiuyi's hand. They understood Xiuyi so much that his enthusiasm for alchemy made him exploring the secrets in it at all costs.
Xiu Yi stared at the door, staring at the huge magic circle on the door, without saying a word.
The housekeeper sighed, and he did not say anything to suggest that Xiu Yi would not go. It can be seen that this was also a buyer who came for Electra's secret. If he was advised to give up exploring the secrets in the tower, it would be equivalent to suggesting that he should not buy the castle. However, his responsibilities were at the same time, he could not tell the truth.
After looking at it for a while, Xiuyi finally said, "I will buy this castle, but I promise I will not easily enter the back of this door."
Christine immediately said, "What does it mean to not enter easily? Don't try to deceive us with such vague words."
“Unless I’m absolutely sure, or before paying off my debts owed to you.”
"You can never pay off some debts, Xiu...Cisser Dardanell!" The excited Christine almost called out the word Xiuyi.
She turned around and left in anger.
If possible, she really hoped that Xiuyi would say that she would never enter this door, but she knew that it was impossible.
Watching Christine leave, Xiuyi chewed her words and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yes, he will never pay off some of the debts.
Looking at Lilith's hopeful eyes, he stroked her face gently: "Believe me, I'm not sure, I will never go in easily."
Lilith nodded.
Xiu Yi then asked the butler: "How much does it cost?"
"Ten thousand Jinweit, you know that that is far from the true value of this castle."
“When can I get it?”
"If you want, you can do it now. The people here have been cleared half a year ago, and everything has been moved away, and the ones left cannot be moved. You just need to clean it and you can live."
"Then sign the agreement."!~!
