When the convoy arrived at Ultramarine Fortress, it was already the middle of the night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although there is no distinction between day and night in the Forest of Eternal Night, as the name suggests, and the sky is always dark, the people still calculated the time according to custom, and after Captain Karn pulled out the timer for the third time to confirm the time, several mercenaries were finally able to get a glimpse of the legendary Ultramarine Fortress.

The pale cyan pillars of light rose from the ground and soared into the sky, carving out a place of tranquility in the never-ending storm, the quaint and towering walls were mottled with the years, and the countless claw marks were the confirmation of the magic tide that the fortress had experienced again and again for thousands of years, just looking at these imprints that penetrated a few inches into the masonry, one could imagine how fierce the battle was back then.

"At the height of humanity, the Pioneer Knights extended the boundaries of civilization to the west of the Fortress of Fran, and at that time, the territory of the human kingdom was more than several times larger than it is now. ”

As if reminiscing about the glory of the past, Lena whispered.

However, years of war have led to a counterattack by the forces of Chaos, and although the people of Chaos are still asleep, the side of order is still losing and retreating, and finally it has become what it is now. ”

Karn added, he put away the timer he was holding, and led the convoy into the light of Ultramarine Keep.

Lawson suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his heart - although the description of "clear" seemed a bit wrong for an undead - unlike the feeling of the shimmer crystal or the embers of the first fire that re-fixed the chaotic world strings, the flames of the ultramarine fortress were more as if they had directly rewritten the laws of the area, and there was no trace of chaos.

Looking back at the outside, the fluttering wind and rain seemed like a dream at the moment, even the sound was blocked by the green light, Rosen looked up at the sky, the blue and distant sky was not alarmed, the bright sunlight seeped into his loose skeleton through the gaps in the armor, even if the body was dead for a long time, Rosen could still feel the warmth from the power of order.

Soon, however, the sound in his ears made Rosen draw his attention to the heavy, rustic door.

Giggle -

With the sound of gears clattering, the heavy and mottled iron door slowly rose, and the first thing the group saw was an old knight with snow-white hair.

The wrinkles on his forehead were deep, his knife-like face looked vicissitudes and indifference, but his blue eyes were not cloudy, and although the armor on his body was a little tattered due to the corrosion of the rain of magic, the Iron Cross on his chest still shining showed his great military exploits.

"Miss Grandia, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The old knight bowed slightly, knelt on one knee, and said in a humble manner.

"Uncle Gascoine, don't come unharmed. ”

Sticking her head out of the carriage, Grantia stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid beside her, and gently placed her hand in front of the old knight.

"The last time I saw you, you were only that tall, and now you are a beautiful lady. ”

The old knight kissed his hand under the slightly jealous gaze of several mercenaries, then stood up and looked at Captain Karn, who was guarding Grantia's side.

"Karn, have you kid finally advanced to Black Iron?"

Kahn's progress was evident at a glance, and the old knight, who had been replaced by Gascoigne, said with a hint of teasing.

"Yes, teacher. ”

Even so, Karn did not dare to complain, but hurried to answer, as if he was quite afraid of the old knight in front of him.

"It's ......"

Lance, armed with a crimson spear, was from out of town and didn't know the identity of the man in front of him, but looking at the way both Grantia and Karn respected him, he must have been a powerful person.

"This is the Knight Leonard Gascoigne, the last captain of the Boonagien Guard. ”

Nedland said before Grantia that when Gascoigne was active, he was just a hairy young man, but he still pretended to be quite familiar with the other party, and said slowly.

"Awarded the Iron Cross in the Eclipse of the Moon War thirty years ago, he fought an entire elite squadron of Wendland undefeated, and ten years ago, he was ordered to defend Ultramarine Fortress...... Sir Gascoigne, your prestige is still alive in the ballads of Bunajn even now, ten years later. ”

Hearing Netherland's obviously flattering words, several mercenaries frowned slightly, but they all knew that the old knight in front of them was indeed worthy of these words.

Gascoigne had already possessed the strength of the Black Iron Midstream when he entered the Ultramarine Fortress ten years ago, and after ten years of living in this magical, rich, and challenging forest of eternal night, his strength is simply unpredictable.

Humans usually live in the hundreds, and now at the age of fifty-six, Gascoigne is in the prime of life and has a wealth of combat experience, so Karn would not be surprised even if he told him that he had been promoted to bronze.

"It's a bit of a knowledge. ”

Unlike Grantia and Karn, Gascoigne didn't have a good look at the mercenaries, and he glanced at them, only stopping at the Netherlands and Rosen.

"Come on in, this continuous storm is not a good thing. ”

With a slight wave of his hand, he motioned for the convoy to enter the fortress.

Following Gascoigne, the group soon entered the legendary ultramarine fortress, and to Rosen's surprise, the huge foyer of the fortress was nothing special, neither the armored soldiers who were ready to go, nor the various attendants who were hurrying.

After the storm was blocked, the interior of the fortress was surprisingly quiet, and perhaps because it was midnight, at least Rosen didn't feel too much activity.

"It's not early, Miss Grandia, you must be very tired after a day's journey today, I have arranged a comfortable and warm room, so let's have a good rest tonight." ”

The defensive circle can only be activated when it senses the arrival of the magic tide, so Grantia is not in a hurry to go to the core area of the fortress to open the defense now, hearing Gascoigne's words, she nodded, and then glanced at the mercenaries.

"Thank you for your escort, and I will hold a banquet in the central hall of the fortress later. ”

There were no dangers along the way, and out of politeness, Grantia also had to entertain the mercenaries who had not had time to eat since after noon, so she sent out an invitation, looked around at the mercenaries, and glanced at Rosen again.

"Mr. Rosen, you can't say no this time. ”

Grandia's green eyes flickered, revealing a little sly light.
