Chapter 157: Red Butterfly Palace: The Red Butterfly Queen

"I've always felt bad luck when we went in this time, Nikolai, do you feel like it's very dangerous?" Angus whispered.

"There seem to be some, but if we don't go inside, how can we find the pansy, you see we have been delayed until night today because of the long distance, we can't get to the destination now, and we won't go in here." Nicola said.

"It seems to make sense, this way, this castle is so big, I can't be sure if it's inhabited by people from the butterfly tribe, or a group of butterfly goblins, Nikolai, I'll go in first, and then I feel that the situation is safe, and then I will notify you to come in, so that even if there is danger, it won't be wiped out, at least one person is safe." Angus said.

"But it's really dangerous, do you really want to go in alone?, let's go in together, if there's any danger, someone can take care of it?" Nikolai insisted that Angus would not let him venture alone.

"Nicola, listen to me, if I feel safe when I go in, I will use the magic communicator to inform you, if it is not safe, there is no reply in half an hour, you better leave here and go to Teacher Xia Zuo for help, okay?" Angus said in a parting tone.

"But, Captain Angus, I really can't—" Nikolai hesitated.

Angus suddenly kissed Nicola lightly on the smooth and full forehead, blushed and said: "I don't know if I can come back safely this time, so I don't want you to risk it for me, if I don't come back in half an hour, you can quickly ride the unicorn and leave here, go back to Galatea, and ask Teacher Xia Zuo to help, don't say more, you know, this is an order from the head of the Magic Light Knights, and it is not allowed to refuse, you know?"

After saying that, he let go of Nicola and strode towards the Red Butterfly Castle, but before Nicola could react to what was going on, he saw that Angus had pushed open the door of the Red Butterfly Castle and entered.

Nicola blushed and had been with Angus for three years, but she had never noticed that this sunny boy had always liked her, when did he start liking her, was it this adventure trip?

After Angus pushed open the gate of the castle, he just came to the courtyard of the castle, the big wooden door that opened had been automatically closed, it looked cold and gloomy, like a dead silence in the Shura field, although Angus was a little scared in his heart, but after all, he was the leader of the Knights of Light, the legendary warrior of the Galateaa Magic Academy, so he still had some guts, the legend that he could go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and duel a level 1 monster with one hand, and if he launched all the magic power, he could kill a Tyrannosaurus rex and mammoth in seconds。

But that's just the legend, the real Angus, is a man who will be surprised when he encounters a giant octopus on his journey, if he can be elected as the leader of the Knights of Light, because when the vote was made, he gave everyone a chocolate-flavored lollipop and a bottle of marble. Why is he so open-minded, because Angus has a strong sense of justice, he will not be used to bullying, he will fight unevenly, and he will be lively and cheerful, he will maintain an innocent and kind childlike heart at any time, and treat girls very gentlemanly and polite.

Therefore, in the minds of both the girls and boys of the Wizard of Light, Angus is a very popular senior, and even Nikola, who has a better score than him in the magic course, can only hold the position of deputy leader.

Angus took a deep breath and continued walking, the castle here seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and there was no trace of life, as if it was a tomb, the blue-gray walls were carved with traces of history, the corners of the walls were covered with grass-green moss, and the ceiling was covered with dusty cobwebs, and there was a spider spinning silk and weaving webs, in the corner stood two black armored knights, the knight held a shield and a long sword, the knight's armor was covered with a thick layer of dust, here told Angus a message, this place has fallen into disrepair and no one to take care of it, and no one has lived here for a long time.

"It's really strange, it's supposed to be inhabited here, why is it so quiet, except for the little spider on the ceiling, and the two armored knights here, there is really no life. Angus wondered.

Angus continued on a spiral stone staircase, made of layers of bluestone slabs, and on the walls were lit white Ginza candlesticks, which gave off a dim glow that made the place feel very eerie.

"There are candles here, which proves that there are people living here, and there are servants, otherwise the white candles here have not been extinguished, and someone must have changed the candles here often to illuminate the stone staircase. "Angus speculated that it was inhabited,

And it's not just ordinary people, but the kind of relationship that resembles the hierarchical master and servant in a castle.

"What the hell are these butterfly goblins? If you want to set a trap to trap me, then I should be careful. Angus said vigilantly.

Angus continued to walk up the stone staircase and pushed open the iron door on the stone staircase, this was already the hall of the castle, although the hall was empty, but at least it was much better than the empty and eerie feeling outside, it was quaint and gorgeous, like a gorgeous hall where the great nobles lived, the ceiling was painted with ancient stories, on which the elegant and moving goddesses and pious red-robed worshippers were depicted, the blue sky, the golden wheat fields of the harvest, the sunflowers that were as hot as flames, the warriors who fought duels with swords and shields, the frost dragons who spit out the breath of ice blue, the crystal balls that sparkled, and the ancients who were full of wisdom, a fluttering red butterfly, with a lot of things drawn on it, although Angus couldn't read any of them.

The black and white slate is covered with a scarlet carpet, there are slim white candles on the left and right, the wall is set up with a white wall lamp, the corner of the wall is placed in a row of plain and elegant white porcelain vases, and in the center is a beautiful ancient wood carved gold seat, which is the seat that the owner can sit on, with red cushions on it, and the armrests and backrests are carved with elegant rose patterns, plus the sparkling gold material, showing the noble status of the master.

"It's so gorgeous, it's so rare that it's called the Red Butterfly Palace, but where do pansies grow?" Angus wondered.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Red Butterfly Palace, this is just a hall, and their rooms include an art gallery, a library, a restaurant, a storeroom, a bedroom, a garden, and a basement, and the prison is the best place to see this Red Butterfly Palace. ”

From behind came the gentle and soft voice of Nicola.

"Nicola, didn't you say that you would be waiting for me outside, why did you take the risk of coming along, and you didn't take my orders to heart, the head of the Knights of Light. Angus turned around, and when he saw Nikolai, he was surprised after surprise, and there was a trace of annoyance, he was not angry, but because Nikola did not obey and followed, it looked like there was a lot of danger here, and Nikolai actually followed him regardless of the danger, so he was very angry.

"It's not that I didn't take to heart the orders of the head of the Knights, but I didn't take to heart the orders of my future boyfriend, Angus. Nicola said with a light smile, a pair of dark blue pupils showing a hint of shyness, and her cheeks were like red clouds.

"Nikolai, did you agree to me being your boyfriend, it's great, I never dreamed that the great beauty of our knights actually agreed to be my girlfriend, it's great. Angus said happily, almost jumping.

"I'm just saying that the future boyfriend, not the current boyfriend, Angus, as long as you and I can find Pansy together this time, our mission is complete, I may consider whether I can be your girlfriend. Nikolai said with a light smile.

"No problem, even if this is the Hell Shura Field, I, Angus, will definitely overcome everything, don't worry, Nikolai, we will definitely find the Pansy, and we will definitely get out of here safely, okay." Angus said with an embarrassed smile.

"This place is called the Red Butterfly Palace, and it is recorded in ancient books that it is the place where the people of the butterfly tribe live, but because a hundred years ago, the emperor of the empire violated the agreement of the Muse Alliance, and came to the Ice Mushroom Forest with a legion and tanks, mecha and submarines, and killed the Ice Mushroom Forest, and seized a large number of resources here, opened mines, cut down ancient trees, and wantonly captured ancient creatures, resulting in serious damage to the ecological balance here, and later under the intervention of the king of our kingdom and other countries, the emperor of the empire was forced to withdraw from the Ice Mushroom Forest, a predatory disaster for the purpose of developing the Ice Mushroom Forest, but after a hundred yearsOf course, in the disaster a hundred years ago, the people of the butterfly tribe were also attacked by the empire, in that incident, it is said that the butterfly tribe lost almost two-thirds of the population, and even the Red Butterfly Palace was attacked by imperial artillery, so the butterfly emperor and the butterfly queen here in order for the people of the butterfly tribe to continue to survive, built a magic city wall outside the red butterfly palace, the legend is to use the power of crystal, and it is precisely because of the protection of the magic city wall that the Red Butterfly Palace survived, and now here, it is difficult to say whether there are people of the butterfly tribe, but the magic wall of this castle has disappearedIt is said that the reason why the emperor of the empire wanted to attack here was because there were many rare treasures in the Red Butterfly Palace, so many adventurers would dream of coming to the Butterfly Grand Canyon to find rare treasures, but because of the long distance and the danger of the Ice Mushroom Forest, many people would often die halfway, even if they arrived at the Red Butterfly Palace, many would die under the mechanism here. ”

Nicola said with emotion as she stood in front of a mural painted with an ancient story.

"Isn't it, is this the legendary treasure castle that the Emperor has always coveted? I remember that the ancient books said that it was not possible to describe this place as a mountain of gold and silver, saying that there were a lot of precious gold and precious stones, extremely sharp weapons and brave and warlike monsters, as well as all kinds of spices and silk cloths, but the people of the butterfly tribe have not always lived here, this should be an isolated paradise, why they know how to collect gold and gems, as well as build weapons and raise monsters, and why they can weave silk and refine spices, this is incredible. ”

Angus asked, puzzled.

"The butterfly clan is a race that can live freely, they did not live in the ice mushroom forest at the beginning, they should have settled here three hundred years ago, and they know words and art, there should be a large number of musical instruments, gold and gems are because the ore resources of the ice mushroom forest are extremely rich, and the weapons are also because of the production of a large number of copper ore and gold ore here, which can forge weapons, of course, the monsters needless to say, there are a lot of ancient creatures in it, so the people of the butterfly tribe will choose some of them to be artificially cultivated, tame them, and let them be used by the people of the butterfly tribe, cloth because there is a lot of cotton here, and there are a lot of Tencel snow silkworms here, A snow silkworm can spit out about 10,000 pieces of silk cloth, spices because there are a lot of flowers and trees here, we came on the way, isn't there a lot of precious flowers and plants, these can be made as long as there is sunlight, so I think the butterfly tribe should have been a race on the continent on a plain, I don't know why they moved to the ice mushroom forest, thrived and grew here, and then settled here, so it is not strange that they know how to use all the languages that humans understand, as for saying that they have wings and tentacles, I think it should be a legend。 ”

Nicola said.

"Hahaha, it's been more than a hundred years, and finally another human has stepped here, welcome you to the Red Butterfly Palace, as the master here, I will definitely let you enjoy a hellish feast, what game is better to play with you, as a noble queen, I like to play hide and seek, otherwise I hide, how about you come and catch me?" An extremely sharp voice like a witch sounded.

Angus and Nicola were startled, and suddenly an extremely ghostly voice appeared, this place was really exactly the same as hell, it turned out that on the second floor of the hall stood a little red-haired girl, she looked like a fairy, a pair of ice blue eyes but as ghostly as a goblin, a long soft red hair dragged on the ground, wearing a white lace skirt, petite, wearing a golden crown, and a very beautiful and bewitching red butterfly tattoo on her forehead, she wore a string of silver butterfly earrings, although she looked only about ten years old, but she had the same old and weird voice as the old witch, and obviously had an innocent and lovely face, but revealed a very bewitching and vicissitudes of temperament, what a strange little girl.
