Chapter 173 Augustopona Castle
The hills on all sides formed a circle, and the castle in the closed part of the circle firmly protected the basin in the middle from outside intrusion.

From a distance, the castle is in the style of medieval Europe, a bit like Hogwarts, surrounded by a wall made of slatted stones, and the whole castle presents a beige feeling.

"That's the castle of the Grelat family - Augustopona. As for that village, it's a slave of the Grelat family, and has been their servant since the Middle Ages." Kylienu stood beside Lu Ren for him explained.

"The Middle Ages? Nearly a thousand years have passed, why are there still so few people?"

Girenu glanced at him with the eyes of a fool, "Because of the war. At first it was for the emperor of Rome, then for the king of France, and finally there was World War I and World War II—especially these two wars, the former was destroyed There is a whole generation of men here, and the latter is responsible for the death of nearly [-]% of the wizards in the family. The Geralat family has passed down the blood of martial arts and war. In the current village, every household can have some relatives with the main family relation."

After briefly introducing the historical background here, Gileadu took Lu Ren down the mountain.At the same time, Lu Ren took off the necklace around his neck and hid it calmly, so as not to cause trouble for himself - a lot of wizards died during World War II, so it wasn't Grindelwald's fault, right?Then it would be more fun to find out that he has a saint necklace.

Soon, Lu Ren arrived not far from the castle.The first thing that catches the eye is the tall city wall.You can’t see it clearly from a distance, but you can find it when you get close. The city wall here can be called "safe as a rock". Each slatted stone is one meter long and half a meter high. The walls are as high as 20 meters, and the gaps between the stone slabs are almost invisible.

The city gate is not as tall as other castles, it is only six meters high. This kind of gate is too small on a wall with a height of 20 meters.The gates were two polished oak doors with two handles in the shape of lion's heads - the size of real lion's heads.

When Kyrenu came to the door, the lion's face began to tremble, and then it spoke: "Who is that?"

Gileadnu put his arm in: "Kirlienu, entrusted by the head of the family, went out to discuss matters."

Then the lion's head nodded, the gate trembled slightly, and then creaked and pushed open to the sides, revealing a five-meter-long door opening, that is to say, the city wall was actually five meters thick.

Girenu glanced at Lu Ren and said, "The lion just now is the 'Lion of Honesty'. If it senses that you are lying, it will bite off your arm."

After passing through the city wall, there is a lawn and a taller castle.Below the castle is a stone base, and the pedestal and the city wall form a "Hui" character. Any incoming enemy will water this 20-meter-wide lawn with blood.

Lu Ren looked at the castle and felt that it was at least 100 meters long and over 70 meters high. Even with the help of magic during construction, it would definitely be a big project.

After entering the castle, Lu Ren and Gileadnu were taken to a place that looked like a reception room. The first thing they saw was a mural covering an entire wall, which showed a group of soldiers and nomads in Roman armor. In the scene of bloody battles, there is a heroic general and a majestic mage on the right side of the mural, and a nomad king on the left side. After taking the treasure, several personal guards stood next to him holding torches, and the outer line of defense composed of huge wooden carts was already in jeopardy.

In addition to murals, there are also some vases, portraits and other furnishings in the room, and a carpet on the ground depicts a huge lion.There is a long mahogany table in the reception room, and there are two opposite sofas beside the table.

"Please sit down." The steward who led the way asked Lu Ren to sit down politely. At this time, Girenu walked to the corner of the room without saying a word, and then remained silent like a piece of wood.

"The master will be here soon, please wait a moment." The housekeeper made a cup of black coffee for Lu Ren, placed a small plate of biscuits at the same time, and left the reception room.It is worth mentioning that the butler speaks fluent English without any accent.

Lu Ren tasted the biscuit, and there was a strong aroma of butter.Then he took a sip of coffee, which was very mellow. He didn't understand coffee very well, but he also understood that it was definitely not a perfunctory cheap product.

"He's already here?" A thick male voice came from outside the door, and then the door of the living room was pushed open, and a thick and big man walked in with heavy steps.

When Lu Ren saw him for the first time, he felt as if he saw the Fourth Raikage in an anime in his previous life.The visitor was extremely burly, with short silver hair, and the muscles on his body stretched the robe tightly.Judging from his appearance, he looks about 70 years old?
Lu Ren immediately stood up, bowed slightly to him, and then greeted him in French: "Good afternoon, I am Lu Ren from Hogwarts, very honored to meet you."

Hearing that it was French, the burly old man's expression became a little better, "It's okay, just a little thinner, and the accent is too strong!"

Lu Ren slandered in his heart: Damn, you have a lot to do, if you can find a French-speaking person from Hogwarts, you will be satisfied!

The old man walked up to Lu Ren, forgave him, then squeezed Lu Ren's shoulder with his big hand, "That's right. I think it's okay." Then he turned around quickly and left without hesitation.

"Who was that just now?" Lu Ren asked Girenu after he had walked away.

"It's the current lord of Augustobona Castle, [Rager] Sextus Grelat. He looks young, but he is a wizard of the same generation as Dumbledore."

Lu Ren:? ? ?
Fuck, he is at least a hundred years old, right?

"97 is old."

He is only 111 years younger than Dumbledore, who is 14 years old, and he can indeed be said to be a wizard of the same generation.But he himself is 97, how old is his granddaughter?Don't be too old.

Seeing Lu Ren's doubts, Gileadnu explained: "The eldest lady you want to teach is the daughter of his youngest son, who is only 11 years old this year. By the way, his youngest son is only 37 years old this year."

Good guy, Lu Ren called him a good guy, and he was speechless to himself: This raging man is very energetic.

"Meng Ke, has Father already seen him?" A young voice came from outside the door again, and then a middle-aged man appeared.He has smooth silver-white shawl hair, looks gentle and quiet, and is in great contrast to his father.

If it weren't for all kinds of secret methods in the magic world, just the difference in appearance and the blossoming of the old tree would be enough to make Lu Ren doubt the blood of the person in front of him.
