Book of Gods and Demons

　　　　 The walls of Blood Kapok Fort are thick, and the corridor behind the gate is long.

　　 In the deep corridor, the ground, the left and right walls, and the ceiling above are all covered with neat, square holes.

　　 The hole on the ground is more than a foot deep, and in the center are several thumb-thick copper nozzles. The holes on the ground are covered with iron plates with hollow patterns carved on them.

　　 The left and right walls and the holes in the ceiling are also covered with carved iron plates.

　　 However, the existence of these holes can't hide from Joe's eyes. Especially behind the holes on the walls and ceiling, people's breathing was faintly heard. And in the holes on the ground, there was still a trace of fire oil remaining in those copper nozzles.

　　 The four-wheeled carriage drove slowly into the corridor, and wherever it passed, the heavy armored soldiers standing on the left and right sides of the corridor raised their right hands and knocked heavily on the left chest.

　　 When the carriage reached the end of the corridor, two Hydra's secret guards opened the door: "Joe Jung Witto, here we are."

Joe lowered his head and got out of the carriage, then straightened his waist, and then his sight was attracted by the three giant cannons in front of him-these were three 600mm cannons with a huge metal frame fixed on the ground. The barrel was parallel to the ground, and the black muzzle locked the hallway behind Joe.

　　 Joe glanced back subconsciously.

Tsk...this arrangement is really life-threatening-think about it, if there is an intrusion of foreign enemies, they will happily break through the gates and rush into the tunnel triumphantly, first being burned by the kerosene on the ground, and then by the crossbows on both sides. The arrow and the spear pierced once, and then they were harmed by the malicious stuff falling from the top of their heads for another round...

　　 Waiting for them to rush out of the tunnel happily, and to greet them are three 600-caliber cannons!

　　啧, whether it is shooting shotguns or solid projectiles, this is a nightmare treat for these enemies attacking the blood kapok fort!

　　 "Crazy!" Joe said in amazement, "Tulum harbor used Thor's giant artillery to bombard warships, where is the giant cannon used to beat the living?

A Hydra's secret guard nodded: "Since these three giant cannons were successfully cast, they have killed more than 20,000 foreign enemies... It is precisely because of them that the blood kapok fort has never fallen... the blood kapok mound has never fallen. They have not been broken, they have a lot of credit."

"I can imagine!" Joe scratched his head vigorously, and looked around for a week: "Can you help me find some...history books? Uh, I used to read a little bit, but now I think I should read some books. ."

　　 Looking at these three huge, heavy cannons, Joe suddenly showed a strong interest in the history of Blood Kapok Hill and Blood Kapok Fort.

"As the'VIP' of Blood Kapok Fort, all reasonable requirements can be met... Books are just the most basic guarantee... Here, as long as you are willing to pay, all high-end restaurants in Hyderabad can take out. You can order. ...Including, find some girls for your company." A Hydra's secret guard said the coldest joke in the most serious tone.

　　 Joe looked at him in shock.

Hydra's Secret Guard also looked at Joe in amazement... After a while, the two Hydra's Secret Guards and the nearby court knights laughed at the same time: "Haha, it's still a young and young rookie... this But a rare species."

A palace knight was giggling a little far away, laughing happily: "The boring students of the second university counted in the past two years. The young masters of the imperial capital were on their maids at the age of thirteen on average... …"

　　 "This Young Master Qiao is really... rare."

　　 "Card, card, rigorous family education, pure moral character...well, I have a cousin..."

　　 "Go away, that's your freckled cousin? My sister... only this year..."

　　The court knights were ‘tweeting’, joking and laughing happily. Joe's face became darker and darker, and he kept rolling his eyes.

　　 The two Hydra guards smiled and looked at Joe's increasingly ugly expression. After a while, they shook their heads, and one Hydra guard raised his right hand and shook his finger toward a tall building in the middle of the bastion.

　　 "Open a luxurious suite and have newcomers stay!"

The outer wall of Blood Kapok Fort is a six-pointed star bastion, and the inner wall is a circle with a diameter of more than a thousand feet. In the center of the area surrounded by the inner wall, stands a pure monolithic structure with a cylindrical tall building nearly two hundred feet high. Fort.

　　 The top of the battle fort, which is also more than two hundred feet in diameter, is equipped with a circle of large-caliber field guns, on which there are brightly dressed court guards.

　　 On the wall that is more than a hundred feet high on the inner wall, an inner window several feet high and two or three feet wide was opened.

　　 Behind the inner window is the passage for troop transport. Next to the passage is the barracks where troops were once stationed. Now behind these inner windows, many court guards protruded half of their bodies, looking curiously at Joe standing by the carriage.

　　 Between the inner wall and the cylindrical tall building in the middle, there is a flat grass, dotted with several flowerbeds, which are full of thorny flowers with strong vitality. Although the sky is snowing and the temperature has dropped below freezing point, the thorn flowers in the flowerbed are still blooming tenaciously. Under the cover of ice and snow, these blooming thorn flowers give people a strong visual impact.

　　The frost-covered grassland is a vast expanse of whiteness, and small buildings with thick and simple shapes stand on it.

　　 These small buildings are generally in appearance, with a square shape and three stories high. There is only a small metal door on the south side. The number of windows on each floor is very small, and the windows are extremely small. Each window is equipped with a metal fence with the thickness of an arm. Seeing how dense the fence is, probably only a mouse can pass through the gap.

　　 The sky was densely covered with clouds, and under the dim sky light, there was a faint flash of light on the surface of these metal fences.

　　 A team of court guards wrapped in iron-gray cloaks, lined up in a neat line, slowly passed between the small buildings.

　　 Behind the windows of some small buildings, curious eyes were cast over.

　　 Joe followed a few gazes that made him feel particularly strong. Behind the metal fence, behind the thick glass, and inside the flowing light gauze curtains, there were figures shaking.

　　 "There are...a lot of people here," Joe murmured.

　　 "And they are all the same as you, with enough identity and enough for committing things." Two Hydra guards grabbed Joe's arm from left to right: "Well, your residence should be arranged."

　　 "Well, don't you need to register your identity information?" Joe asked them curiously.

　　 "This is not a prison of the police department... here, there is no need to register identity information... Sometimes, for the ‘visited guests’ here, it may be a lucky thing for them to be forgotten."

　　 A tall, expressionless middle-aged man wearing a black Auntie Feng walked out of the tall building in the middle of the building. His steps were extremely fast, and he came to Joe's side while breathing.

　　 The middle-aged man heard Joe’s question, and he responded casually.

　　 He nodded to the two Hydra's secret guards, then turned and led the way to a small building in the distance. As he walked, he said without looking back: "Remember, here, as long as you don't try to escape, you can enjoy a high degree of freedom... The only taboo is not to inquire about the identity and origin of anyone here. , And their past history."

　　 "And yourself... a kind reminder, for the safety of you and your relatives and friends... don't reveal your identity, history, and the causes and consequences of your being sent to the blood kapok fort."

　　 "If you want, you can give yourself a nickname."

　　The middle-aged man led the way and came to a small building on the northwest corner of the tall building. He took out a bunch of keys and slowly opened the one-foot-thick metal gate of the small building.

He turned around and looked at Joe up and down, especially his eyes staying on the Royal Hydra badge on his collar for a while: "Here, we provide the most basic three meals a day and supper...every day. The standard for meals is ten silver pfennigs. You can eat a full meal, but it is definitely not a good meal."

　　 "If you want, you can deposit a sum of money with us to draw up your daily meal standards... No matter what you want to eat or drink, we will provide it at a 10% increase in the market price."

"Of course, you can also book food and wine at any high-end restaurant in Hyderabad one day in advance, and we will send someone to serve you...Of course, for this, you have to pay 20% of the service fee for those food and wine. ."

"Every day, you have twelve hours of outdoor activities, if you want to... The weather is terrible now, but waiting for the spring season to take a walk and bask in the sun is a very good enjoyment. "

"I hope you have a good time in Blood Kapok Fort." The middle-aged man squeezed a stiff smile and nodded towards Joe: "I am the manager here, Hyde... Except that you can't leave the Blood Kapok Fort, you have any needs. , You can ask me."

　　 pushed open the heavy metal door forcefully, and a chill burst out from the door.

　　 Hyde pointed to the open door, and said unhurriedly: "I hope you can enjoy the life in Blood Kapok Fort...just adapt here as soon as possible, because you will always live here in the future."

　　 Joe shrugged. He looked at Hyde and said seriously: "I think I will leave here soon."

Hyde was stunned, and then the smile on his face increased slightly: "Then, I will wait and see...but, little guy, I have worked in the blood kapok for forty years...forty years, only people were sent here. Come in ~www.ltnovel.com~ and no one has ever left!"

Shaking his head, Hyde looked at Joe seriously: "I don't think you will be an exception... If you don't believe it, you can ask your neighbor next door. He was sent here with his father when he was seven years old. Now he His grandson is seven years old...he and his son, grandson, live next door to you!"

　　 Joe's eyes widened, and he looked at Hyde in disbelief: "Son? Grandson? Here?"

Hyde tilted his head: "That's why I said that as long as you don't try to escape here, you can enjoy a lot of freedom...including finding a group of women and giving birth to a bunch of dolls...Of course, you will have to pay for the meals for these women and dolls. I provide myself...The imperial royal family is only responsible for the basic living expenses of the "self"."

　　 The two Hydra's secret guards pushed Joe into the small building with a little effort.

　　 Hyde pulled the metal door forcefully, and with a ‘boom’, the door closed tightly.

Hyde's voice faintly came from outside the door: "If you have any needs, you can greet the guard at the window... There are candles and gas lamps in the building, and the matches are on the small table in the right hand... Well, if you are not good at daily chores, you need help. Do you hire a few dedicated maids?"

　　 "The blood kapok fort is clearly priced. The maids, maids, etc. here are paid twice as much as outside, and we charge an intermediary fee for three months..."

　　 Joe curled his lips and cursed softly.
