Chapter 94: 'Hedgehog' Castle

Sir Allman's residence is a modest old castle.

The ancient castle is located on a hillside in the village. Although it covers a small area and is not grand overall, there are quite a few battlements, towers, watchtowers and moats.

The walls of the ancient castle were built with thick stones, and some steel gun tips with outwards were inserted between the stones during the stacking. Many gun heads have been bent and scrapped, but they still show their hideousness to the world.

There is a circular tower at each of the four corners of the city wall. The battlements of the city walls are also covered with downward sloping, spear-like spikes. This kind of defense facility is not very useful for human attackers, but it is somewhat useful for those monsters who are good at climbing but have low intelligence. miraculous.

Although the moat around the castle is not much wider than a small stream, it at least serves as a certain defense. The city gate is divided into two layers, one is a dark iron fence, and the other is a solid oak gate, which is also wrapped with a thick layer of iron.

The city walls are covered with thorny vines, and the green vines bring a little life to this simple ancient castle with the meaning of iron and blood.

Before the construction of the Mist Castle, the beast tide in the foggy forest had invaded the hinterland of the Griffin Kingdom countless times. Barrett looked at this castle full of iron and blood, and subconsciously imagined in his mind the next time when the beast tide came hundreds of years ago. , what happened on this castle:

Inside the castle, the bells rang rapidly, and the knights in full armor shouted at the guards, making them quickly run up the city wall. The trebuchets in the open space were filled with stones, and the stones were also covered with a layer of cotton cloth soaked in tung oil. The guards holding torches looked at the observers on the tower, nervously waiting for orders.

Outside the castle, the villagers screamed and ran to the castle, and behind them were all kinds of strange monsters rushing in like a tide. From time to time, villagers screamed miserably and were thrown to the ground by monsters, and blood splashed on the ground accompanied by excited roars.

The guards on the city wall kept shooting arrows outwards. From time to time, some stones wrapped in flames were thrown from the castle, trying their best to block the steps of the beasts. However, the beast tide was still approaching rapidly.

When the monsters were about to rush into the castle, the drawbridge of the castle was raised, and the villagers who failed to enter the castle in time could only cry, helplessly waiting for the killing to come. A mother threw the baby in her arms into the air with the last strength. The baby luckily landed on the side of the drawbridge and slid into the castle along the raised drawbridge, but the mother was bitten by the monster chasing behind her. half of the body.

The monsters crowded and leaped to the city wall, and some struggled to fall into the moat. Others pierced into the stones of the city wall with their sharp claws and slowly climbed upwards. These climbing beasts were either slashed by the sharp spear tips on the wall, slashed their abdomens, claws, or were shot by arrows fired from battlements and towers. Only a small number of beasts wanted to jump up to the city head with their bouncing power. It was also pierced by the iron spear on the battlement, and then fell down with the weight of the body, even if there were still some monsters jumping on the city wall, they were killed on the spot by the guards led by the knight...

As a human being, in the battle imagined by Barrett, it ended in the victory of human beings unexpectedly. Although he added a little sadness to it, it did not affect the overall ending-this castle is in the beast tide. It stands, until today.

This is a hedgehog with steel thorns. Barrett looked at the castle in front of him and couldn't stop praising him.

In the past three or four hundred years, most of the castles built by humans have lost their original defensive value. They were only built to satisfy the comfort and show off of the castle owners. The emphasis is on comfort, beauty and atmosphere. The noble status of the master also facilitates the banquets and gatherings of the nobles.

Even in contemporary times, there are already many lords and nobles with fiefs who do not build castles, but live a more comfortable and comfortable manor-style life.

At this time, the drawbridge over the moat was lowered, and the gates of the two floors of the castle were opened separately. Barrett led his mount and followed Hannah up the drawbridge, towards the city gate.

The barbarian looked at the shooting holes on the battlements, and placed his left hand on the 'Iron Bride' subconsciously. Fortunately, no one aimed at them with bows and arrows or crossbows from the battlements, and there was not even a single guard near the city gate.

They walked into the castle like this.

In the center of the castle is a huge inner fort. There are also several scattered houses built around the inner fort. Every window of the inner fort is surrounded by iron nets. Can effectively prevent fire attacks.

The open space around the inner castle is very large. Some of the open space is planted with fruit trees, while others have been turned over, and it seems that crops have been planted. There is a building like a blacksmith shop and a stable not far away, but there is no sound of iron hammering from the blacksmith shop, and there is no trace of a horse in the stable, but there are a few 'baabaa' from the depths. the sheep called.

Not far from the stable is a chicken coop. A group of hens and chicks gather around the chicken coop, rummaging for bugs on the grass. Not far from the chicken coop was a well made of bluestone, and on the well was a sleeping orange cat.

What Barrett didn't expect was that the first guy in the castle to greet them was not a human, but a majestic white goose who came out of the corner of the city gate. The white goose held its abdomen high, walked steadily in front of Barritt, raised its long neck, quacked twice, and then stared at the barbarian, as if waiting for his answer.

Forehead……

Should I say "Hello" at this time, or should I introduce myself first? Barrett looked at the white goose with bright eyes in front of him, feeling a little overwhelmed. He knew that many farmers would choose to use white geese to care for their homes, but the guy in front of him seemed to want to question him.

Hannah, who was next to Barrett, ignored the "guard" with white wings. She walked to the gate of the inner castle in a few steps, grabbed the iron button door in the shape of a griffin's head, and buttoned it tightly and evenly. Three times.

The white goose was very dissatisfied with Hannah's ignoring it. It also moved a few steps to the door, spread its wide wings and waved it vigorously, and its mouth was not the original polite "quack", but "quack, quack, quack." , quack quack" kept yelling, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with Hannah.

Quack quack, Barrett also secretly cried twice in his heart, and the object and content of the expression were exactly the same as the white goose.

After a while, the door of the inner fort was opened, and an old man in a plain linen robe walked out, "Who are you looking for?" The old man's expression was a little puzzled.

"Hello, we are here to look for Ser Arman." Hannah held a rapier in her hand, her expression solemn and serious, as if she was a well-born female knight, "We are at the invitation of the Benson family, Came here to help Sir Arman with the hot springs."

"Are you sent by the Benson family?" The old man's expression suddenly froze, and then he returned to doubts. He looked Hannah up and down, and then looked past Barritt, whom Hannah was looking at. Then, like the white goose, he stretched his neck and turned his attention to the kindhearted Burton and other people not far away.

"Just a few of you?" The doubts on his face seemed to be stronger.

"Don't worry, we are a very powerful team of adventurers." Hannah turned sideways, reached out to greet Barrett, pointed at the barbarian, and said proudly, "Because we are elite adventurers."

As far as I am an elite adventurer, Barret thought helplessly. He handed the reins to the kindhearted Burton, then walked up to the old man, raised his head ~www.readwn.com~ and took a deep breath, letting his tall and strong body swell again.

Size doesn't determine everything, but in the eyes of ordinary people, size is equated with strength.

The old man looked up at Barrett, and the doubts in his eyes were reduced a little, "Your Excellency is training the militia, and it is estimated that the sun will soon set before returning." He said to the crowd, "If you don't mind, you can come in and wait. As for your carriages and mounts, you can park them in the stables. There is enough grass in the stables for the horses to rest well. But don't fight with the innermost sheep, they are not very good-tempered."

"Thank you." Hannah simply nodded and followed the old man into the castle. Good-hearted Burton followed the coachman to the stable, while Barrett and the two young men followed in Hannah's footsteps.

After walking through a narrow corridor from the door, the old man led everyone to the hall of the inner fort. The hall is bright and spacious, and the windows covered with wire all around provide enough light for the hall.

The decoration in the hall is as simple as the outside of the castle, and many furniture and furnishings seem to have been used for a long time. Various weapons and portraits were hung on the surrounding walls at intervals. The upper right corner of each portrait was printed with a kite-shaped shield that resisted the giant claws. Barret guessed that it should be the family crest of Sir Arman.

"You can wait here for Lord Arman to come back." The old man pointed to the long dining table on the side of the hall and said, "Forgive me for not being able to accompany you, there are still some things in the castle waiting for me to deal with. If you have any needs, You can call me anytime. But I hope you don't walk around. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Sir Arman's housekeeper, you can call me-'Sebastian'." The old man smiled mysteriously .
