It's the Old Castle of the Roses again!

What is there about it that is so implicated in it that it is always associated with things over and over again?

As someone who has been in the world for hundreds of years, Kevin is not ignorant of the place of Old Rose Castle - it was once home to a small city-state, and when they lived there, it was not surrounded by desert, and it was said that the green fields were once beautiful, and the apricot-colored wild roses were abundant. The entire castle is surrounded by wild roses, making it a very romantic place.

But that city-state did not exist for long, and it was completely destroyed in less than a hundred years.

There are many legends about the cause of its demise, but one of the most widespread is that the sudden arrival of the black wind of the mirage plunged the unprepared people of the city-state into a hallucinatory chaos, and the city-state was littered with fires overnight, and people who were manipulated by the illusion to unconsciously slash each other, and it is said that even the king was crucified in the castle and lay in the apricot-colored rose bushes.

And with the arrival of the mirage black wind, there is also the wind and sand in the sky.

It may take many years for a city-state to rise, but it will not be long before a city-state disappears.

Soon, the place was a sea of sand, and all that remained of the original city-state was the ruins of the old fort.

However, although most people are aware of the existence of the Old Rose Castle, few people will actually go to the place where the Old Rose Castle is located except for a group of people who love adventure, after all, they will risk encountering the dark wind of the mirage and getting lost in the desert.

Occasionally, caravans passing through the mirage would turn the road to the Old Fort to have a look, but most of them would be disappointed because there really wasn't much left.

Kevin, like most people, hadn't actually been to Old Castle of Roses. After all, he didn't have any curiosity about that place. In a way, he didn't like the desert because it always gave it a sense of lifeless loneliness. It was probably because of this feeling that he would see that dusk again in the hallucinations caused by the mirage black wind.

What's more, even if he was curious, he didn't know the way at all.

This person is not so much insensitive to such things as routes, but too lazy to remember. The roads he felt he needed to know could be remembered very firmly after walking them, such as the path to the tomb of Phae. After all, I can't find my grave anywhere, and it's really a bit unreasonable. But most of the rest of the places, he never bothered to admit it, and always adhered to the principle of where he went.

This is probably a common problem of the gods of the old days.

They each live in different places, and when they have nothing to do, they go out and travel.

That's right, you're traveling. They never said to go to the door, because they originally wanted to find the god of wine, but in the end they went to the god of love. I said in advance that I often slapped myself in the face in the end, so it is better to go at will without determining the destination.

In short, if a person like Kevin wants to go to the Old Castle of Roses, he will definitely not be able to come back in three or five or seven years.

But now, he felt compelled to go.

Since there was something related to Phaere in the Old Castle of the Rose, he had to go. The closer he got to the Old Castle of the Roses, the more a faint emotion pulsed in his heart, and the more he suspected that it had something to do with Merlot. Although the age of the gods has long passed, and even the tomb of the queen god has been built for an unknown number of years, he suspects that Merlot has not completely disappeared.

If Merlot really wanted to do something, ordinary people couldn't stop it.

So he had to go.

"Regardless of the direction of the Old Castle of the Roses, we don't have any pointing tools on us, so we can only rely on you to find the way." Kevin's thoughts were rarely shown on his face, he still leaned on the wolf's head, patted the pouch on his waist very bare with one hand, and said, "We came in a hurry, and we only brought ourselves." ”

Wood hesitated: "I...... Guys? Where are you? ”

Osvid: "......"

Kevin let out an "ah", patted the wolf on the head, and explained casually: "Don't look at it as a human being, its IQ can still keep up, I usually barely count it as a head." ”

Osvid: "......"

Wood suddenly realized, and no longer chewed on words, but took out a brass compass from the pocket close to his heart. Wood clicked open the lid of the plate, and saw a delicate little hand spinning wildly as if it had just been wound.

"Although the hands are still turning, I have a vague feeling that the old castle of roses is not far from us. If my instincts are correct—" Nick couldn't hold back again, looked around at the pergola with his hand on the side, and then raised his hand and pointed, "That direction." ”

Miraculously, most of the soldiers in the army echoed: "Yes, I think it's over there, too." ”

A young soldier who was closer to Kevin muttered with a blank face: "I also feel over there, it's strange, I never know the direction, and my intuition is not accurate." ”

One of the soldiers next to him arched him on his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you feel a little anxious?" ”

Kevin didn't pay much attention to it, staring at the pointer in Wood's hand until it turned slower and slower, and gradually stopped. However, when he heard the conversation between the two soldiers, he couldn't help but glance at them.

The two soldiers didn't pay attention, still whispering head to head: "Are you anxious too?" I thought it was the after-effects of the hallucination, or maybe I was too thirsty......"

"What's the anxiety?" Kevin suddenly walked over and asked, his tone very casual, as if the commander was casually concerned about the barracks life of the young soldier.

But the two soldiers still habitually put their heels together, and said, "No, Your Excellency, Commander." We just wanted to go to the Old Castle of Roses earlier. They thought about it and felt that this was a bit clueless, so they added: "After all, the sooner the investigation is finished, the sooner you can rest assured." ”

Kevin stared at them, then quickly glanced around the other soldiers, and was about to ask a few more questions, when Wood shouted, "Your Excellency! The point is set! ”

"Oh? Where to go? Kevin put aside the matter for a moment, strode over to Wood, and took the compass in his hand and looked at it. Wood had already pulled out a roll of maps he was carrying, and determined the location against the direction set by the compass.

After a moment, he raised his hand and pointed, "Go over there." ”

Coincidentally, he was pointing in the same direction as Nick and most of the soldiers who spoke intuitively.

The direction was certain, everyone didn't hesitate at all, and in a blink of an eye, they got on the vulture, and Kevin turned over the back of the wolf without saying a word.

Nick glanced in his direction and shouted, "Your Excellency, your mount is not reined?" It's easy to get thrown off if you run fast! Wait, we've got a spare, so you might as well put it on. ”

Kevin rubbed the wolf's furry neck and said, "No, it will dare to get rid of me, and I will cook wolf meat and eat it when I turn around." ”

Osvid: "......"

Nick pulled out a set of reins and was about to continue his persuasion, only to find the huge and mighty wolf walking up to him with an arrogant face.

Nick: "......"

To be honest, being stared at by the transparent eyes of such a ferocious beast is really not a comfortable experience, and even the most daring person will have a chilling sense of fear. Nick stiffened his wrist and didn't dare to make a big move.

The wolf looked at him coldly for a moment, then bit off the reins in his hand, turned his head and threw it at Kevin on his back, the meaning was very obvious: put it on me!

Nick: "......"

Kevin: "......"

Both of them were stunned, the former was frightened, and almost thought that his hand was going into the wolf's mouth; The latter was surprised, he didn't want the reins in fact, he felt that whether it was a pure-bred wolf or a pure-bred Auswald, there was a common denominator between the two, that is, they were born proud. It's a bit immoral to put a rope around the neck of this creature.

Who knew that he had a rare conscience to find a handful, and the other party hadn't appreciated it yet.

Osvid threw him the reins and carried him a little farther away, whispering in a low voice, "Put it on." ”

Kevin also replied in a voice that only he could hear, "Are you sure?" The dignified emperor sets the reins? You're very interesting......"

"What a! Don't talk nonsense! Osvid said angrily: "If you fall, you will suffer." ”

Kevin was stunned for a moment with the reins, and uncharacteristically did not continue to tease, but turned the reins over and put them on Osvid, avoiding the uncomfortable neck that would strangle him.

He finished without saying a word, grabbed the reins with one hand, patted the wolf on the face and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

"I'll make the way, and you follow." Kevin said to Wood and Nick without a beak.

"Huh?"

Before they could ask questions, the wolf flapped his wings.

Kevin lowered his body in the huge wind set off by the wings of the wolf, and the speed of one man and one beast was extremely fast, and he soon flew far ahead.

Wood and the others sensed the difference in speed, and quickly grabbed the vulture's belly and galloped away.

Because he had to take care of the large army behind, Osvid kept the speed under control, but Kevin occasionally urged him twice, so that he didn't have to worry about the rest of the full speed ahead.

"Why do you seem to be deliberately trying to shake them off?" Osveld finally couldn't help but ask.

Kevin pondered for a moment and said, "Something isn't quite right with the old castle of roses, I want to take a look first." ”

When the Priesthood first mentioned the Old Castle of the Rose, Kevin didn't think it was a bait, but he always thought that the bait was only for a certain group of people, such as him, such as Auswid, who represented the Golden Lion Country. But now, he felt that the bait was a bit widespread, and even ordinary soldiers seemed to be affected by it, and were led there.

Why?

In the dust, the vision is not very clear, and even if they are high in the air, the range of vision is very limited.

But after flying for a long time, Kevin still saw the outline of a tall tower in the distance through the wind and smoke.

If I'm not mistaken...... The Old Castle of Roses is almost there.

However, after Kevin swept around, his eyebrows frowned tightly, because he saw that at the foot of the outline of the old castle of roses, there was a faint black oppressive thing, which at first glance looked like a shadow cast by the ancient castle, but after the wind and sand were smaller, he found that it was clearly a dense crowd of people!
