Chapter 561: Western Frontier (7)

It is said that it is two large stone pillars, but in fact, the area is larger than our house, and the inside is empty, with stairs.

Well, it's actually two stone towers.

Although the interior is empty, the walls are also thick, otherwise it would not be able to support such a tall tower, so the interior space seems a bit crowded.

Just like in our home, the rooms are solid, and only the hallway is left to pass through people.

We climbed up the stone steps, which were not much wider than the corridors of my house, in circles.

The spiral staircase up was dim, and despite the vents in the stone walls, the small holes that were not as big as fists provided only a faint amount of light, and if it was a cloudy day, the soldiers defending it would have to light torches.

There seemed to be no end to the staircase, and I asked Leo, "How many meters is the length of the earth?" ”

"As a stone building, it's good to be able to reach fifty meters, but you have the magic element, and reaching ninety meters is already the limit, unless there is a reinforced concrete structure......"

"Ninety meters, probably, that's more than sixty steps...... "I compared my steps.

"It's not the same thing at all, okay?" Leo said, "If you compare the height to the length of the ground, you are no one." ”

"I didn't say it wasn't high......" I said.

After walking for a while, we reached the top. It's not that I don't want to go faster, it's just that I don't have to.

On top was a platform no bigger than my living room, where Rennes and an officer stood with a table of snacks and drinks.

"You're here!" The prince of Wren greeted us very warmly, "Come on, come on, enjoy the scenery of the western border!" ”

"Look, this place has just been cleaned up, and it should have already received the lion and trolls," Leo said, "mainly because it can't squeeze so many people, but it's a bit shameful to put the minotaur behind......"

"Just look at the smell of wine in his mouth." I say.

Standing at a height of 90 meters above the ground, on such a summer morning, there is still a feeling of a cool autumn breeze.

The old centurion said: "The general is polite, I don't know what the general has called us, what are the orders?" ”

Ren Shizi smiled and shook his head: "It's not a fight yet, don't call me a general, call me Shizi!" ”

"Your Excellency," I said, "haven't the troops of all the tribes come yet?" ”

The prince of Wren said with a smile: "Warrior Bihong, after the army arrives, you still need to reorganize the division and organize the team before you can go to the battlefield, what, you can't wait?" Don't be so anxious, you're the champion of this year, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get your achievements? ”

I said, "That's not what I meant......"

"Okay, relax, you two," said the prince of Wren, "I came to you today just to see the scenery and talk about family life, especially the Warriors of Bihon, I have been staying here, and I have never had a chance to see your heroic appearance in the arena!" ”

"It's just a fluke." I said, "I think it's the Mother Mother who takes care of me......

"It's really modest......" said the prince of Wren, "my incompetent brother is not so modest, and he is very arrogant, saying that if he hadn't lost to your young patriarch of Pamla, he would have fought with you!" ”

"His Excellency Peng En's strength is indeed good, but it's a pity that ......," I said.

"If you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability!" Ren Shizi said, "Anyway, he still has a chance in the next session, but I want to see where he can go if he doesn't meet you!" ”

The old centurion said, "The prince is really strict with his younger brother. ”

"Speak as if you are lenient with your juniors!" The prince of Wren said, "Okay, politely polite, everyone knows that there is no benefit in having more strength, if Peng En were your soldiers, he would have been trained to the point of breathlessness, I watched, a few days ago you had another big competition, and you injured several good hands, this is not good, the big war is coming, try to minimize unnecessary damage, and don't tire our military priests......"

The old centurion smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary fight, a little injury, the son of the world is not worried, the minotaur will never hold back when he uses it!" ”

As I listened to the two of them talking, I turned my gaze to the west.

Looking down on the earth at a height of 90 meters, although it is not as pleasant as flying into the sky, it is also very heroic, compared to climbing Mount Magres to overlook Thunder City, there is more pride in the earth under your feet.

As far as the eye can see, the land to the west is almost flat, with only a small undulation, which is the hills in the distance.

The closer we got to our feet, the more flat the earth became, except that there was less greenery, and only bare earth and the occasional clump of tenacious thorns sprung up.

In other words, under our feet, is the end of the grassland, and to the west is such a desert.

Actually, the hills in the distance have a speckled green, but the distance is far enough.

Following my gaze, I subconsciously looked at my southwest and south, and as far as the eye could see, it was still a desert, with no shadow of swamps and forests.

Similarly, the northwest side does not see the shadow of the desert.

However, due north is the stone tower of the Tiger Clan, on which stand a few soldiers in half-body armor, but there are no Tiger Clan.

"Do you know what humans call us here?" Wren asked.

"What?" I didn't react.

"The humans call us the Twin Towers here, the Lion Tower on our side, and the Tiger Tower on the other side," said Wren, "and the humans always like to call everything by some inexplicable and strange name, and we just built two stone towers, and before we could think of a name, they gave them names." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if we came up with a better name ourselves?" I say.

"Haha, a lot of people think so." Wren Shizi smiled, "But we don't!" Humans are cunning creatures who think they are smart, so we named these towers after them, and buried their blood and bones under them! ”

"Haha!" The old centurion laughed.

I smiled a little, then walked over to the edge of the platform and leaned on the guardrail to look down.

At a height of more than 90 meters, it was about the same as when I fell off the cliff in the Sanhe Mountains, and I was actually a little flustered, but I endured it.

The soil under the tower is black-brown, and it seems to be a little reddish, and I wonder if it is human blood......

"Oh, yes!" Wren said, "The Bijon Warriors deserve to be champions, and they won't get dizzy when they look down from here?" ”

To be honest, I was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't get dizzy, so I said, "It's okay......"

After saying that, he retreated.

"I heard that the angry strong can fly when they have cultivated to a certain extent," said the prince of Wren, "The priests of the wind system can also be, of course, the magicians of humans and elves, but they can't fly too high, perhaps, only the races of the Hawk Man and the Swan Man can experience that feeling, I have been here for several years, and I am still not used to it." ”

I looked at him with some surprise.

"How can you admit that you are afraid of heights?" Wren said.

I was a little surprised by his confession, but said, "Frankly, I'm a little scared too......"

"I'm afraid of hair!" Leo said, "Sooner or later, you will have to fly, and you have not flown before, and you have almost flown out of the atmosphere!" ”

"That's not ......" I remembered the so-called out-of-body experience, the shock and disbelief I felt when I saw the earth as a sphere.

"I don't know who came up with the idea in the first place," said Wren, "to build the watchtower so high." ”

"You can see farther, can't you?" I said, "But I don't know how old this tower is......

"Every day there must be earth in the priests of the army," said the prince of Wren, "otherwise it will crack in a few years...... Besides, what's the use of seeing far away, and I don't know if I can start fighting when I walk in? ”

"You can't say it's useless, can you?" I say.

"Of course, I'm just complaining," said Wren, "and it's more comfortable to see here than anywhere else!" ”

As he spoke, he pinched up a piece of dim sum and said, "Don't patronize it, come and taste it, there are human and elf dim sum here, and the taste is still very good!" ”

The old centurion and I tasted a little bit very politely.

"By the way, and these, they are all human wines," said the prince of Wren, "and ah, Warrior Bihon, although you are the champion of this year, after all, you are still a young man, and many veterans in the army are very unconvinced, you have to be prepared, there will be people who will challenge when they are preparing for battle." ”

"Oh?" I was a little surprised.

"Of course, it's all on the other side," Wren Shizi explained when he saw my surprise, "We don't have a problem with you, it's those guys who think they have seniority when they're old, you have to take precautions, I'll send someone to introduce you to guys who might challenge you, and you don't want to embarrass our side." ”

"No need!" I shook my head.

This time it was the turn of the prince of Wren to be surprised.

"I will not let them succeed, Your Excellency," I said, "and if you don't believe me, I can swear!" ”

Wren Shizi was surprised, but seemed a little skeptical.

"If I lose your face, I am willing to accept any punishment!" I said, "If I win all the challengers, you don't have to pay anything, can you?" ”

"Good...... Good! Rennes hesitated for a moment and slapped his thigh, "It is worthy of the most unexpected champion, Bihong Warrior, I am looking forward to your performance!" ”

"Don't worry!" I say.

At this time, one of the soldiers said, "Shizi, look to the east! ”

We looked to the east together, and saw a procession stretching for thousands of kilometers appear on the grassland.

"Coming so soon?" Wren Shizi was surprised and said, "I thought I would have to wait two days!" Alas, really...... Go, inform all the battalion commanders, tomorrow will be the division! ”

I looked at the sparse team and asked, "What is that?" "Memoirs of a bull head
