Act Twenty-Six: The Hall of the Sky (Monday for Recommendation!)
Ultramarine Fortress was built thousands of years ago, the most prosperous period on the side of the order, the whole building was built by the craftsmen of the El tribe, full of exotic style, facing the west of the fortress gate is the sculpture of the four tribes of humans, elves, elves, and Firut, and the east gate where Rosen and they entered is directly connected to the vast space inside the fortress.

There was no imaginary feeling of isolation, in fact, the air flow in the fortress was unexpectedly good, and the mercenaries could even feel the oncoming breeze, which was really refreshing after enduring the raging storm for most of the day.
Walking through the masonry corridor, Rosen can't help but have the illusion of returning to history, with paw prints and sword marks faintly on the mottled walls, as if telling the story of the long past.
The flickering light of the fire brought out a long shadow, and the group passed through the wide foyer and walked through the narrow corridor, and finally arrived at a brightly lit hall in the middle of the fortress.
"This dome?"
Although Karlock has been in and out of the Ultramarine Fortress many times, this is the first time he has come to this central hall, which is located under the central square and is one of the core areas of the fortress, which is naturally not easily accessible to ordinary people.
Therefore, it was the first time in his life that he had seen the central hall of this group of green fortresses, a huge hall called the "Hall of the Firmament".
The first thing that catches your eye is the deep night sky, with countless stars twinkling to form an incomparably bright Milky Way, which is very different from the frenzied sky of the Eternal Night Forest, and the dome of the Firmament Hall is a scene of tranquility and tranquility at this time, just like the night in the countryside of Bunajien.
"This is not the real sky, but an illusion fixed by magic. ”
Gascoigne whispered, explaining to the first sight of the legendary dome, including Grantia.
Legend has it that when the White Knight Brando and Miss Antitina were fighting against the monsters in the Ultramarine Fortress, Miss Antitina fell ill due to homesickness, so the White Knight asked the young mage Charles in the team to cast a spell to create this sky of Bunajine, which cured Miss Antitina's illness. ”
In a deep voice, the mercenaries sat down at the round table, and the starlight shone on everyone's faces, showing a bit of dreamlike color.
"Of course, this may just be an anecdote made up by posterity, but this Hall of the Sky is indeed here, and even after a thousand years, this starry sky has not faded. ”
Gascoigne also sat down, facing the Grandia's throne.
"Life in the fortress is not comfortable, and we don't have the time to cook exquisite food, so let's eat it. ”
With a wave of his hand, the waiters served the dishes that had already been prepared.
The first thing that appeared in front of the mercenaries was a roast suckling pig with a bright color, the belly had been hollowed out of the internal organs, replaced by a variety of mushrooms and vegetables, the crispy and charred skin and the white tender and soft meat formed a wonderful contrast, drizzled with a clear sauce and smeared with stone salt, quite a bit of rugged meaning, and the fragrant vegetables in the belly tempered the oiliness of the meat, making people appetize.
This is followed by the pickled fish sandwich, which is a little coarse, but the fish preserves the scent of the river and gives you a taste of home in this wild and chaotic land, and it tastes great with fresh vegetables.
The broth is served at the end of the table, the rich aroma of which irritates the noses of the already hungry mercenaries, and the deep and mellow soup is quite tempting, and the suspended meat foam is soft and delicious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have safely arrived at the Green Fortress, but the real challenge is only beginning now, and in the coming week, we will face one of the most terrifying disasters in the world, the Demon Tide. ”
Knight Gascoigne said, the faint scar on his face confirming his words from another angle.
"According to the observations of the Rainbow Tower, although the scale of this magic tide is small, the monster is surprisingly powerful, and I am afraid that it will be the strongest magic tide that this group of green fortresses has encountered since it was built. ”
Hearing Knight Gascoigne's words, the originally lively atmosphere at the other tables suddenly cooled down, and everyone looked at each other, trying to capture the attitude of the others.
Only Rosen didn't have much emotion about this speech, and his headache was the table in front of him.
As an undead, he didn't have to eat for a long time, and even if he barely ate, the food would probably fall directly to the ground through this tattered skeleton of bones, and he was afraid that he would not be purified by the church before being bitten to death by the winter wolf.
It was lucky to have escaped the banquet before, but now it is estimated that there is no way to avoid it.
But no one knew that Rosen was thinking something completely different, and everyone listened intently to the Gascoigne Knight's speech.
"Of course, the Ultramarine Fortress was actually in the hinterland of the enemy of order during the peak of civilization, and it has been seven hundred years since the last great demon tide. ”
Knight Gascoigne's words were very tactful, but many people still heard the overtones contained in them.
"What do you mean, Lord Gascoigne?"
Karn looked his former teacher up and down in disbelief.
"The Forest of Eternal Night is a great place, and it seems that Lord Gascoigne has benefited greatly. ”
Naturally, the Netherlands would not miss this good opportunity for flattery, and his eyes sparkled, and he said in a respectful tone.
"Actually, this is also a recent thing, if it weren't for being in the Eternal Night Forest, I'm afraid I'd have been wandering for a long time at this stage. ”
With a slightly proud look, Gascoigne said slowly.
"As you have guessed, I, Leonard Gascoigne, have reached the pinnacle of black iron, and the Bronze Steps are within reach!"
The pinnacle of black iron.
This is almost the strongest combat power in the territory of Bunajion, even if it expands to the periphery, I am afraid that only Zelas, a blood wizard with the same peak of black iron, can match it, from here, the gap between the strength of Bunajien and Regios has been extremely narrowed, and the difference is not much.
"Congratulations, sir. ”
Grandia, who didn't know if she had known the news in advance, or if her years of upbringing had kept her composure, she smiled and whispered.
As for the others, they were already surprised and lost in thought.
If in the past, there was still a considerable gap between Bunagien and Regios in terms of absolute strength, then now, the two are indeed on the same level.
Not all of the mercenaries present were based in Bunajien, many of them had some influence in Regios, but now, they had to think about their future focus.
If you keep holding on to the dying old Regios, then it is very likely that you will sink with that city in the future, and if you are on the right team now, then it will not be difficult to soar in the future.
"Lord Gascoigne is brave and will become a famous general in the future, etching his name in history. ”
As he spoke, Netherlands raised his glass, the ale in which it was lukewarm and mellow, and he led several others to raise their glasses as if to greet the knight of Gascoigne.
Lawson was extremely embarrassed at this time, and he also raised his glass, but if he drank this glass of wine, he was afraid that he would not be drunk but cut down by a sword.
This damn Netherlands, pretending to be forced doesn't do such harm!
Thinking about countermeasures in his head, Rosen saw Nedland slowly bring the wine glass to his lips, and was about to drink it all-
-- The sound of a long horn made everyone present tense their nerves.
