66. Arrive at Guta Fortress
The Ancient Tower Fortress is the core landmark building of the entire Ancient Tower Territory, and it is also the origin of the name of the territory of the Jinduo family.
Of course, in the eyes of the Jin Duo family, the name "Guta Collar" is a malicious mockery from the huge and incomparably large royal family.
But now, the Jin Duo family has no energy to pay attention to this taunt.
They've got a big deal out of it.
With Winde. Ann Rocco. Jin Duo, the Duke of Ancient Tower, was sent back to the Holy Light Cathedral in the capital of Tria to defend himself, and now the entire Ancient Tower Territory has completely fallen into a turbulent situation, and the Jin Duo family's control and influence over this duke is rapidly losing at an alarming rate.
After all, no one wants to be associated with cultists.
Today's Guta Territory is actually controlled by three parties: the Holy Light Church, the royal minister, and the temporary spokesperson of the Jinduo family.
However, the Holy Light Church and the War Church support forces that have arrived are only responsible for local surveillance and reconnaissance, and do not care about the specific management of the Ancient Tower Territory. And the Jin Duo family also seemed a little lacking in confidence when facing the special ministers from the royal family because of the cultists, so to put it bluntly, the current Guta Collar actually fell into the control of the royal family.
With the level of fierce competition between the royal family and the local nobles of the Kingdom of Tria, it is obviously impossible for the royal family to take the opportunity to weaken the control of the ancient tower territory by the Jinduo family this time.
But in the face of such a situation, the Jin Duo family was also very helpless.
In particular, the first thing that the royal minister dealt with after his arrival was to directly bring out the elf murder case that happened almost a year ago and re-try it, and then it only took three days to characterize the case as "malicious torture" and directly execute the noble young master.
This is a very serious blow to the influence of the Jin Duo family.
Because those interest groups around the Jin Duo family will feel that the Jin Duo family can no longer protect them.
But in fact, the Jin Duo family, who already knew the truth, did not dare to have any say in this matter.
After all, the heart that was dug out was the real cause of the demonic invasion of Akara City.
Now that the Jin Duo family has been linked to the suspected cultists, in this case, how dare the Jin Duo family continue to come forward to protect that nobleman? But what they didn't expect was that this young and young minister of the royal family actually had such sophisticated means, and he used this incident as a breakthrough to attack the influence of the Jin Duo family at the first time, directly forcing the Jin Duo family to bow their heads and admit defeat.
And under such circumstances, Su Yan finally took Anna and the three elves, and finally arrived at the ancient tower fortress after more than two months of travel.
The first feeling that this fortress gave Su Yan was majestic.
Perhaps because this world has special abilities beyond ordinary people, the walls of those fortresses used for military purposes generally reach a height of thirty meters or more. And because it is built with the help of magic, the walls are relatively smooth and flat, and there is no climbing point.
According to Su Yan's estimation, unless this kind of city wall is an epic powerhouse that can climb it in one go, even a strong person with a high-ranking hero cannot climb it in one go. And even if an epic powerhouse wants to climb up, it is not an easy thing, because the defenders of the fortress will never let you climb such a goal successfully, and will definitely choose to concentrate the firepower, and as long as you can slow down the pace of the epic powerhouse to climb the city wall a little, then the other party will definitely not be able to successfully climb.
After looking at the walls of the ancient tower fortress, Su Yan also had a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of the army in this world.
Perhaps an epic powerhouse is indeed very powerful, but in the face of a battle of this scale like a siege battle, he cannot break through the city by himself.
Perhaps a strong man like the Fils Kingdom, known as the Steel Slashing Sword, is already the limit. But even if it is the other party, it chooses to destroy the city gate with one blow to provide a greater offensive advantage for its own army, rather than running in and opening Wushuang alone.
Entering the ancient tower fortress, you still have to go through a routine inspection.
Su Yan was a little suspicious of how these people in Notia had left the Guta Fortress without letting these guards know from them in the first place. However, if you think about it, the every move of these underage elves has actually been under the surveillance of the ruby caravan all along, so maybe they can hide from the guards is just an act of the Jinduo family.
However, because this time, Su Yan was going to find Antil, so Notia and the others did not hide their identities when they were inspected, but directly indicated the intention of themselves and the others, so soon there was a guard who rushed to the temporary residence of the Council of Elders to notify them.
After all, due to the results of the previous trial about the nobles mutilating the elves, the Guta Fortress is now in a relatively nervous state.
At this time, an elf suddenly came, and absolutely no one wanted to cause trouble.
Su Yan and the others didn't wait too long, and a luxurious carriage arrived at the city gate.
The carriage had a very typical elven style: the emerald green carriage was embellished with gold, silver, and various colored gemstones, which was obviously very tacky, but under the elves' unusual aesthetic combination, the carriage did not look vulgar at all. On the contrary, because there are many plant decorations such as vines and flowers, the whole carriage looks very elegant and exquisite.
However, compared to the luxury of the carriage, the most valuable part of the carriage is the mount responsible for pulling the carriage.
Four unicorns!
Although these creatures with silver flowing through their bodies also have certain magical abilities and combat abilities, they are not mindless like Warcraft. Unicorns, on the other hand, are very human beings: they are not only elegant and intelligent, but they also have the character to judge the hearts and minds of others. They like good, but they are extremely repulsive to evil, and when too evil is approached, they will behave uneasy, and even emit a faint light on their horns.
However, what is slightly strange is that although the four unicorns appear to be a little nervous and uneasy, they do not act too violently, and even their unicorns do not give warning.
This made Su Yan feel a little curious.
Because he wanted to know how the unicorn could tell the difference between good and evil.
In terms of pure species, Su Yan felt that no matter how he looked at it, he obviously could not be regarded as a good camp, but should be classified as an alien creature such as demons and devils. But obviously, Su Yan's idea doesn't seem to be recognized by the unicorns, they don't regard Su Yan as an extremely evil existence, but the aura that Su Yan exudes from the living does make these creatures favored by the gods a little uncomfortable.
It's just that they don't overreact.
In this regard, after thinking about it for a while, Su Yan did not refuse the invitation of Notia and the others, but went with them to the residence of these elves in the ancient tower fortress of the Council of Elders with them.
Looking at the slightly depressed view of the streets, Anna soon lost interest.
In recent months, Su Yan's training for Anna has not been slackened because of this rush.
Although the training time has decreased, the training intensity has increased a lot, so this has caused Anna to start to miss her days in Akara City a little. At that time, although the training was also very hard, at least she could still have delicious food every day, and she couldn't figure out why she felt more tired when the training time was much less than before.
She suspected that it must be because there was no delicious cake - after all, it was impossible to eat cake every day in the wilderness.
However, Su Yan's decision to increase Anna's training intensity was not without reason.
Because he found that although Anna's level has not changed, she has indeed mastered a passive skill.
[Sharp Intuition]: There is a certain chance that you will be able to detect danger in advance.
This passive skill, combined with Anna's racial talent, allows her to have almost 100% crisis awareness in terrain such as woodlands. It can be regarded as the most perfect passive skill with the elven bloodline.
Passive skills are different from combat skills that need to be actively released, and there is no theoretical limit to learning.
However, in the game, players still need certain level conditions and learning time to master. But Su Yan has always suspected that the serious lack of skills in this world is largely due to the lack of high-level skills to learn methods. It is precisely because of this that Su Yan will try to let Lena, Notia and others teach Anna how to train.
It's not directly teaching her the skills she can use in battle, because it really requires a certain professional level to master.
Only passive skills that theoretically do not require a level can be learned early regardless of the level limit.
However, due to some uncertainties, Su Yan did not force Anna to have various learning projects, but just asked Notia and others to tell Anna about the various insights they had explored, and let her try to learn and train. In fact, this method is indeed effective now - two months ago, when Su Yan found out that Anna's skill bar suddenly had this passive skill, Anna's hard days officially began.
However, although the training intensity has increased a lot over the years, in fact, Anna has only mastered such a passive skill.
Su Yan guessed that it would be something that Notia and the others could give Anna guidance, and that was the only way.
Because of this situation, it was also in the game at the beginning.
When a player learns all the abilities that an NPC can impart from an NPC, no matter how much they learn, they will not be able to master new skills.
So in the past half a month, Su Yan has already begun to personally guide Anna.
And at this time, the three elves, such as Notia and Elior, will also begin to play a studious student. Iliol, in particular, doesn't know when she started to get infected with Notia's bad habits, but her mantra is not "Mistress Antila says ......", but "Mistress Levi says ......". Su Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with him before, but every time he saw Iliol's serious look, Su Yan always felt embarrassed.
The slightly depressed Guta Fortress does not have many pedestrians, so the carriage travels much faster.
Soon, Su Yan and the others came to the temporary residence of the Council of Elders in the Ancient Tower Fortress.
However, what Su Yan and the others did not expect was that as the head of the envoy sent to the ancient tower fortress by the Council of Elders this time, Antia. Suras. Jade, actually stood in front of the gate to greet everyone.
