In addition to the huge area of this castle, what impresses people most is the sense of age that has completely surfaced.

The walls of the castle are made of grey rock, but along the way, there is hardly a single rock that is not cracked.

If you look closely, you will see that many of the rocks have been crunchy and weathered.

In fact, it is a miracle that this wall did not collapse because of this.

With the naked eye, it is impossible to tell whether the castle has been devastated for centuries.

Dry ponds, broken towers, flower beds long in ruins......

The doors and shutters were loose from rot, the railings were rusty, and the windows were in tatters.

There was hardly anyone else to be seen in the huge castle, and the passing carriages left the marks of wheels running over the dusty pavement, and the gray fog that hung over the castle slowly rolled, the shadows getting thicker and the light darker and darker.

The lights gradually came on the side of the road, and the dim light reflected on the passing carriages, and the whole castle was so silent that only the sound of wheels rolling.

Su Xian had already stepped out of the carriage and sat with Professor Buck.

Guided by the lights, the carriage continued on its way, and after about a quarter of an hour, it entered a relatively empty field.

On either side of the ground stood stakes as thick as wrists, and the upper part of the stakes had a circle of grooves.

Professor Buck docked the carriage in front of one of the stakes, then disembarked and snapped the horse's reins into the groove and bolted it tightly.

Su Xian took out the two antiquities from the carriage, and then got out of the car and handed them to Professor Buck.

From this moment on, Professor Buck was his butler.

The two of them walked one after the other, towards the only building in front of them with lights on.

The building was basically square in shape and had only two floors, with the first floor being nearly ten meters tall and the second being only half as tall as the first.

The walls are carved with lines that have long since lost their original appearance, and the huge columns stand on the perimeter of the building, making the building itself more majestic, but the cracks in the columns can hardly hide the weight of its years.

The people who arrived here one step earlier were walking on the steps, they were basically in pairs, one invitee and one servant, and the servants were holding boxes in their hands.

Alice and Mars arrived first, but waited at the front of the steps.

Alice finally stopped clinging to Mars, and the two remained about a quarter of a meter apart, and Mars was holding three long boxes in his hands.

Among the three boxes, it is obvious that there are also ancient items of not low age.

Soon, the four of them successfully met, Su Xian and Alice walked side by side, one handsome and the other beautiful, but they were extremely compatible.

No one could have imagined that the decadent uncle with a scruffy beard behind them was Alice's husband.

As the carriages stopped one after another, more and more people walked this way.

The castle is gradually gaining popularity.

……

Walking to the main entrance of the building, Su Xian finally knew the name of the building - it was carved on a wooden board placed next to the pillars, very casual, and basically no one paid attention.

"The sacrificial hall."

Su Xian read these three words softly, and he realized a little in his heart.

The sacrificial hall had barely been cleaned, at least the floor was free of dust, and the walls were not clean.

But the cracks in the pillars of the walls have not been repaired.

There were no attendants or guards on the road, and all those who went to the banquet did so consciously.

A moment later, Su Xian and the others entered the central hall inside the sacrificial hall.

The temple is a circular structure with two floors connected and a conical roof at least fifteen meters high.

In the middle of the hall stands a thick stone pillar, almost flush with the roof.

The base of the cylinder is a tall platform of considerable size, on which are placed several tables and chairs, and it is clear that someone will be seated later.

On both sides of the walls of this hall, there are two ladders that go up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there is a balcony that protrudes outward, allowing you to stand on it and overlook the entire hall.

In just a few seconds after entering the hall, Su Xian took the entire layout into his eyes.

In the rest of the hall, tables and chairs are neatly arranged like a traditional dinner party, and each table is covered with a reddish-brown tablecloth.

On the long table against the wall, there are plenty of drinks and desserts, cold dishes and sauces.

And in the middle of each round table in the hall is an ornate candelabra, with new candles on it, but not yet lit.

The rotating table centered on the candlestick is already filled with a large number of hot delicacies.

Everything from bread beans to foie gras and phoenix feet.

There are also two bottles of expensive red wine each.

But there are not many such round tables, they are centered on the central column, and they are only arranged in two circles.

There are six tables in the inner circle and six tables in the outer circle, for a total of only twelve tables.

According to the configuration of four people per table, that means that the maximum number of people invited tonight is forty-eight.

Servants are not qualified to serve at the table.

So the total number of people is ninety-six at most.

……

After silently keeping this number in mind, Su Xian asked in a low voice; "Is there a requirement for the allocation of this position?"

Alice also replied softly: "Generally, there is no request, but there are always special circumstances, but we can find a seat first." ”

Su Xian turned his eyes and looked at a place: "Just the table over there." ”

Then he walked over first.

The whole temple has four exits, which form exactly the cross.

The table he had chosen was just in front of the exit on the left, and was one of the six tables in the outer circle.

And near this table, there is a ladder that leads to the second floor.

After that, whether you walk out of this hall or go up to the second floor, it will be very convenient.

Since something is destined to happen tonight, you must think of a way out first.

When he had reached his place, he took off his gentleman's hat and hung it on the corner of the back of his chair, and stood there observing the people who came in one after another.

Ninety-six, nearly a hundred, although not much, but definitely a lot.

As more and more people entered the hall, some people began to talk, and the voices gradually became louder, but not louder.

The music was as clear as a spring of music wafting out of nowhere, and several headlamps set up in high places were lit one after another, and the hall gradually had the feeling of a noble dinner.

Su Xian couldn't help but squint his eyes, because he found many people he knew in this crowd.

No matter how big an organization the relic will be, the people who came to the banquet tonight are obviously people from Brut City.

Although a city is big, there are always a few people who are really famous among them.

When their profile picture is published in the newspaper, most people will recognize them.

Su Xian found one or two celebrities, and they were celebrities he had only met not long ago.

"Carl Assas!"

"Buckis TOFFL!"
