For those who live in a big city of steel and concrete, it is difficult to imagine what it is like to face a castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Yangchuan City, 100 square meters of commercial housing is the goal of most people, and it is enough for a family of three to live daily and will not seem cramped, and such a room, in a community covering an area of dozens of acres, there can be hundreds, each building is divided into more than a dozen square cement grids, and people are clustered together.

Even if it is an enviable single-family villa, it is nothing more than an area of less than one acre, with only ten rooms and an area of two or three hundred square meters, which can already make people feel extremely spacious.

The Abbic Castle in front of you, even if it is separated by a natural stone bridge nearly 100 meters long, looks like a behemoth carved out of the mountains, standing between heaven and earth.

There are a total of fifty-two individual rooms, including the lord's bedroom, the large dining room, the guest rooms, the weapons room, the granary, etc., two large viewing terraces, more than a dozen small terraces embedded outside the rooms, a small square in the center of the castle that can be used to grow flowers and train soldiers, a separate cistern, a basement the size of a basketball court, and an ancient but very scientifically well-developed drainage system, dozens of arrow battlements and defensive strongholds, a beacon tower, and a natural hot spring spring, which together make up the castle of Ibik.

The wolf's soft footpads tread silently on the black rocky bridge, and the wheels of the carriage creaked and turned, and walked down the bridge toward the castle opposite.

From a distance, the stone bridge looks like it is very narrow and has only one line, lying between two mountains, and dozens of meters below is a canyon with turbulent water, and there is a faint sound of flowing water, and there are straight cliffs on both sides, which feels very dangerous from a distance.

It wasn't until the carriage drove on it that I found that it was actually quite wide, and three carriages or seven or eight people in parallel would not seem crowded at all, almost the same as the widest four-lane of the domestic highway, as long as I didn't look for death, there was no risk of falling or being blown down by the wind.

When you open the carriage, you can see that there are old stone walls on both sides.

The ancient buildings of China pay attention to the gorgeous, delicate and beautiful, to meet the comfort of people's living as the first priority, most of the materials used are wood, the value is appalling, it is said that a main beam in the Summer Palace, it costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. In ancient times, the West was plagued by frequent wars and underdeveloped economies, and castles of lords at all levels, including kings, had important military considerations and were the strongest defensive buildings in the territory, so the materials were mostly stone.

At intervals on the stone walls on either side, there is a statue resembling a lion, and on the other side there is a statue of the Virgin, which is said to represent the family of the lord of the castle and his religious beliefs.

However, due to the age and the fact that Unikin is a poor princess, there is no money to repair the inside of the castle, let alone the external passages, and most of these statues are missing arms and legs.

Since getting on the bridge, several people in the car couldn't sit still, and got out of the car excitedly to walk, and Avitu finally found a sense of existence again and introduced the history of the castle to everyone. It is said that the castle's successive owners were the most staunch Catholics, and the first owner came directly from the Roman Empire, and was appointed by the Holy See to lead his knights to overcome obstacles and build the first castle of Epic to resist the attacks of the infidels.

Over the centuries, the castle has endured many glorious battles, and even on this stone bridge at your feet, you can find traces of fierce battles.

There are many stories about the castle of Epic in Romania, the most famous of which is that he assisted the Holy See in sending troops to attack Vlad III, the Grand Duke of Wallachia who ruled Romania at the time.

"Vlad III?" Zhao Yun stroked a lame lion statue and asked with interest, "Isn't that Count Dracula?" ”

"Haha, I didn't expect the Orientals to be familiar with our folklore. You are very knowledgeable, Vlad III is the prototype of the most famous vampire in the legend, Count Dracula, he is said to be the king of vampires, can command vampires in general, his castle is said to be surrounded by countless bats, floating in the sky all year round, appearing only once every ten years, sucking the blood of only one virgin at a time. Legend has it that when night fell, Dracula would sit in the carriage made of bats and come to a beautiful virgin, gracefully open the door and stretch out her hand, no woman could refuse his invitation, willingly entered the carriage and disappeared into the night sky. When the woman's body was found the next day, she was pale but unusually beautiful, and there must have been a sweet and satisfied smile on her lips......"

"A bunch of idiot women." Orange Orange pouted with disdain.

Nurse Hu subconsciously looked up at the Abbic Castle at the end of the stone bridge, fortunately, there was nothing around the castle, and there was no so-called bat surrounding.

Nangong Yan suddenly winked at Su Ming and said, "Do you remember, there was a cartoon when I was a child, what is it called......

"Haha, Count Daqla, a vampire who refuses to suck blood against the traditions of his ancestors, is actually a big duck." Talking about his experiences when he was a child, Su Ming also smiled.

Romania is the home of vampire stories, where vampires have even become a kind of culture, a tourist sign, in addition to Count Dracula, another famous female vampire in history, Countess Bathory, lives in the castle of Said, not too far from the castle of Ibik.

Legend has it that when the Count of Bathory was away on a war all year round, the eldest sister had nothing to do in the empty house, so she captured the maidens from the nearby villages and tortured them for fun, bled the young girls to death like animals in a slaughterhouse, drank their blood, and bathed it in the blood, believing that in this way she would preserve her amazing beauty and youth.

"Blood contains a lot of iron, and long-term consumption of blood can lead to gastrointestinal diseases, dark spots on the skin, a large amount of pigmentation, and even iron poisoning." Nurse Xiaohu analyzed from a professional point of view: "If you want good skin, you should take more high-protein, this countess obviously has no culture, and if you want to catch it, you should also catch young and strong men." ”

Several people looked at her with speechless eyes at the same time, and Orange asked curiously, "Why?" Is there protein in a man's blood? ”

The scene was quite awkward, but fortunately, in front of the castle gate, a wide iron gate like a flood gate of a reservoir attracted everyone's attention.

AVATU took out a bunch of keys and opened the door lock with a click, Su Meng and Su Ming helped, and pushed the iron door open with force.

"It's dark." Looking at the swarthy passage behind the iron gate, several women were a little afraid, as if countless vampire bats would emerge from the passage at any time, or at the other end of the passage, there would be a pale vampire wearing an evening dress to greet everyone.

The group stopped outside the castle gates.

"Wait a minute." Su Ming suddenly grabbed Nangong Yan's hand and said softly. (To be continued.) )
