Working Prophet.

Chapter 475 Lionheart Castle

Ilea called her captain of the guard and found the person who was on watch and patrolling outside last night.

However, no one has ever noticed any uninvited guests approaching her tent, and naturally no one can tell where the wooden carving came from.

After a while, Wilde and others also came over.

Treger has been to many places and dealt with many sects in order to get rid of the curse on his body. He recognized the carved thing on the wooden carving at a glance, and blurted out.

"This is Vallia, the goddess of life."

The female lord had already had some guesses before, and now she got confirmation from Traeg, said solemnly.

"It seems that this is the meeting gift given to me by the priest of Cornelia."

"This is my negligence," Thomas said solemnly, "I will increase the manpower to ensure your safety, and I will never let such a thing happen again."

Miss Rabbit nodded, seeing that Treg seemed hesitant to speak, so she said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Although Priest Cornelia failed to remove the curse for me like Prophet Merlin, she is also a person with real skills, and there are a group of strange people in the Church of Life.

"They were activated by the priests of Cornelia to activate the power of life hidden in their blood. They can do many incredible things. So please don't underestimate the enemy with Prophet Merlin." Treg said with a serious expression.

"I know, and I've seen one of them."

The female lord still attaches great importance to the Church of Life. After all, Greta, who can manipulate mice, once caused chaos in the Western Region.

According to Greta, she is by no means the only one with special abilities in the Life Church.

By the way, the mouse girl seemed to have mentioned an assassin who walks lightly and has great swordsmanship before.

Could it be that person sneaked into the tent last night and stuffed the wooden sculpture under her pillow.

What if he was holding a dagger instead of a wood carving?

Thinking of this, the female lord couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart.

No, Thomas and the others couldn't be relied on for this matter. After all, they were not ordinary people, so Li Yu had to find a solution.

They will live in the city for several days in this martial arts competition. Miss Rabbit doesn't want to have to worry about every time she goes to bed.

With this episode, everyone cheered up for the rest of the journey.

Especially Thomas, who was responsible for protecting Ilea's safety during this trip, but he did not expect such a mistake before entering the capital, and the captain of the guard blamed himself very much.

Simply go to battle and stand by the side of the female lord, and stay with the girl every step of the way.

However, the mysterious man who stuffed the wooden carving under the female lord's pillow never showed up again.

Two days later, everyone finally arrived at the end of the trip - Lionheart Castle.

The predecessor of this town was a fortress of the Vespasian family. Alessandro ordered the construction of the royal city here. At that time, many people raised objections.

The main reason is that it is surrounded by plains on all sides, with a wide field of vision and no danger to rely on. If there is an enemy coming, once they leave the Elk Valley or cross the Sanzi River, they can drive straight in and come straight to the king's capital.

However, the angry lion finally resisted all opinions and placed the king's capital here.

Some people speculate that this is His Majesty's first victory in commemoration of leading the army. Some people say that Alessandro was convenient to keep an eye on the southern princes who were not very peaceful at that time, while the women said that it was because the queen did not want to leave their homeland. too far...

In short, the capital of the empire was set here.

The Lionheart Castle at that time was actually less than one-tenth of the size it is today. When Alessandro was in power, because he didn't like extravagance, he only slightly repaired the original castle and built a city wall around it. It's over.

As the greatest king in the history of the Bratis Continent, Nushi spent most of his life fighting outside, and probably didn't care too much about how his house lived in the back.

However, his descendants obviously didn't think so. After the death of Alessandro, Lionheart Castle has undergone more than [-] expansions, large and small.

The largest expansion took place during the reign of Alessandro's great-grandson, the so-called tyrant Byron I. He employed more than 13 craftsmen and took [-] years to expand the original area of ​​Lionheart Castle. A full five times.

Moreover, he also built for himself the most luxurious palace in the entire continent, paved with gold, illuminated by walls studded with gemstones, and the throne was made of keel bones and the tailbone of a giant sea beast. There were three or four people Tall, looks imposing.

It is said that those who have ghosts in their hearts will be so frightened that their legs will tremble just by standing in front of this throne, and they will be unable to speak a word.

After Byron I wanted to build a hanging garden for his favorite little daughter, but unfortunately, he was kicked out of the throne by his own son, the joint prime minister, and the imperial council just after the construction started.

Most of the most luxurious palace in the entire continent was demolished, the golden floor tiles were gone, and the gemstone walls were gone, only the bone throne was preserved.

Together with the enlarged Lion Heart Castle, it became one of the few valuable things left by the tyrant.

However, with the lessons learned from King Byron I, his descendants have restrained a lot. Although the repair and expansion of Lionheart Castle have not stopped, they have been maintained at a relatively restrained level.

In addition, Lionheart Fortress is located on a plain, which is of course not safe enough from a military point of view, but the roads extending in all directions also facilitate the continuous gathering of material resources from all over the empire to this city, allowing it to continue to develop at a terrifying speed .

And today's Lionheart Castle has been transformed into an out-and-out heroic city through the unremitting management of more than ten generations of the Vespasian family.

The city walls of the outer gate are uniformly made of white boulders transported from the south, supplemented by red sandstone as embellishments, spelling out the pattern of the royal family, and the thickest part of the curtain wall reaches an astonishing seven meters.

There are six city gates, each with iron gates.

Now Ilea is standing under the lion gate, looking up at the towering tower, she can't help but feel a little lost.

Ferdinand beside her was also silent. It was the first time for both of them to leave the Western Territory. The biggest town they had seen before going out was Yanxue City.

And on their way they passed through the Vale of Gold, and were amazed at the splendid castles built by the nobles there.

But compared with the majestic and majestic city in front of him, those towns are no different from small villages, and the female lord can't even think of a suitable word to describe it.

She and Ferdinand looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
