The road to Fort Campana was longer than it seemed, and there were many guards on the road, but thanks to Vekily there, the group was able to continue their way up the hill without any problems—at least no one dared to stop the descendants of the royal family.

The mountain road winds its way to the castle at the top of the mountain, and Vikiriko and his party walk ahead like knights returning from triumph.

"Open the door! The princess asks to see the Emperor! The knights, standing on either side of the castle gates, shouted into the walls.

"Click....."

With the sound of chains rubbing, the iron gate of the castle slowly lifted upward, and inside the wall was not only the majestic castle, but also a piece of heavenly calm and beautiful hanging garden.

The garden seems to be built entirely on top of the mountain, as if the peaks have been cut away, and the translucent glazed tiles cover every bare ground in the garden, and through the glazed path, you can vaguely see the stone brick path that is covered in the depths, and I don't know how many times this ground has been repaired and rebuilt.

Giant sequoia forests, flower gardens, bushes on both sides of the road, and red and white six-leaf flowers bloomed everywhere in the garden, a variety that Draenor had never seen before. In the garden, girls in sapphire blue shawls and trench coats leaned over to pollinate the flowers, while others trimmed the shrubs with slender gardener scissors.

"Do you like it? It is called the Star of Bethlehem, and it is a rare variety, and it is said that if you fall asleep at night with the scent of its flowers, you will be trapped in your dreams forever. Draenor believed Viklico's alarmism, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose.

A fountain pool made of quartz watered the garden, and the overflowing spring water flowed into a slender river channel and spread over the hilltop land.

"Is this a city within a city, and the emperor lives in such a garden?" Draenor asked.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, just stay quiet, Campana Fort is just around the corner." Although Vikiriko said it seriously, she was actually extremely excited, they had finally arrived at their destination after many hardships from the distant city of Hermanstadt, and for her personally, they had returned to the source of their dreams - Fort Campana after many years.

The group rode through the garden, the front of the castle was revealed, the cavalry were arranged in four rows like sculptures, standing on either side of the road, the amber masonry steps lifted the castle high into the air, and in the clouds and mist, the buildings in front of them were as illusory as a mirage, and the outline of the sun was cut in half by the sharp spires, leaving only the shadow of the scar in the middle hanging over the crowd.

And in the gap of the minaret, a huge bronze bell hangs. This is where the name Champana Castelo comes from, it symbolizes the past and the future, and the bell was restored after the accession of Frews the Great, and it rings only at noon, announcing the end of the past and the beginning of the future.

"Princess Vikirico, welcome back." The knights clapped their palms to their chests, their armor clashing with a resounding sound, and they turned sideways and saluted neatly towards the people on their horses.

"Really...... It's spectacular! Draenor couldn't help but crane his head, as a foreigner, he was now able to stand in front of the palace of Emperor Nikanlos.

The mistletoe-covered gate finally opened, and a noblewoman in a long red dress and a snow-blue robe walked out slowly surrounded by maids. The knights tapped their spears to the ground and fell to their knees on one knee at the top of the stone steps.

"See Her Royal Highness Queen Luang Sha!"

The crowd also dismounted after Vicilico, kneeling on one knee with their hands on the ground.

The noble lady crossed her hands on her abdomen and bowed slightly to the crowd.

"Greetings, everyone, please get up."

"Is this the Queen? It's much younger than expected, but according to the age arithmetic of the Misarians, it should be four or five hundred years old, right? What an honor...... "Draenor had never seen King Eichenryde in his more than ten years of fighting with the army in Eichenryde, and now he had alarmed the queen of the Nikanlos Empire in search of an ancient book, and he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"Princess Vikirico, see Her Royal Highness the Queen." Vicilico looked up and said to the Queen.

“.…… Hurry up! My good granddaughter! It's been a long time since I've seen you, so come and show grandma! The majesty of the queen suddenly retracted, and she turned into an amiable old woman. Vickily happily ran up the steps and hugged the queen.

"Grandma, long time no see! I'm sorry I haven't been able to come back to visit you and grandpa! Vicilico put her arms around the queen's neck and kissed her cheeks again and again.

"Hahaha, bring your friends in too, you are in such a hurry to run back, there must be something important." The queen walked into the palace with Vicilico, and the maids signaled for Draenor and the others to come in with them.

The interior of Fort Campana is exactly the same as that of Desville Manor, without too elaborate embellishments, making people feel not particularly oppressive solemn and solemn, but like a warm bungalow.

"Your friends seem to be bothered, what's upset?" The Queen asked Vicilico.

"Ah...... Actually, it doesn't matter much, we just need to go to Aveline Tower next door to find an ancient book...... "Even in the face of her grandmother, who loves her the most, Vickyli didn't dare to tell her everything that happened to Draenor, but only talked about the purpose of coming back this time.

"Ancient books? Hmm......" The queen looked back at the people in the distance.

Although Draenor had already used the alchemist's spray beforehand, he avoided being the focus and deliberately kept his distance from the queen.

"Lycos? And...... Two Canaanites? The queen recognized the faces of the three men, and Jeanne felt her identity exposed, and she nervously cowered behind Draenor. But surprisingly, the queen didn't seem to care too much, but acquiesced as if it were commonplace.

"Although I don't know what your intentions are for visiting the Imperial Capital, as long as you are a friend of Vicilico, we welcome you." The queen smiled and took a silver key from her bosom and handed it to Viklico.

"We've locked up that tower since Fredor's disappearance, and the key has been hidden with me all these years, never used. I'll be relieved to hand it over to you, and Fredo should be happy. The Queen smiled and touched Viklico's head.

"I'll arrange for someone to prepare lunch for you, remember to put away the used books and lock the door." After the queen finished her granddaughter's instructions, she turned and walked up the stairs of the palace.

Vikiriko and the three of them hurried through the hallway on the side of the hall towards the tower.

"What a great honor! The queen of Nikanlos, she is standing less than five meters away from me! Can I recite a poem about this? Glori was still trembling with excitement, and Vicky continued to walk in front of her, not trying to turn back to him.

"However, it seems that the interior of the castel campana is not as luxurious as imagined, and the queen is so gentle and approachable." Draenor sighed.

"A few years before I was born, this was not the case, it was the time of St. Peter the Great, and the royal family was always majestic. St. Peter the Great was the eldest brother of my grandfather, and he spent his life in luxury and impetuousness, and was a very ambitious king.

At that time, Nikanlos was a nightmare for other countries, and the iron hooves of the royal cavalry were about to spread to almost every corner of Vlaktu, but St. Peter the Great was not satisfied with the thrill of conquest, and he was more eager for the fear of the whole world than this.

In the last expedition to the continent of Abel, the cavalry suffered heavy losses, and all the surrounding countries launched a counterattack against Nikanros, and the revolutionary army fought from the surrounding continent all the way to the gates of Los Canza, and Nikanlos was almost burned to ashes with rage.

St. Peter the Great was eventually drowned in his own ambitions, and the duke and other nobles joined forces to imprison the emperor. In times of crisis, my grandfather, Frews the Great, ascended the throne, a benevolent monarch who built the empire of Nikanlos into a prosperous empire in less than twenty years. The Imperial Family is no longer feared as before, and we have gradually become the embodiment of salvation, and since then we have been truly loved by the people. ”

Vikiriko recalls her family's history, where family, school, and ancient texts tell her about Nikanlos' past, and she herself is glad to have lived in a time of peace.

"So we are not as high as you think, the prosperity and splendor of this land does not belong only to the royal family, it belongs to every inhabitant of the Nikanlos Empire."

Vikily said as she walked to the edge of a wall as smooth and white as ivory, and the tall birch door embedded in the wall was the only way to the Tower Library.

"Knock ......"

"Knock ......"

"Knock ......"

The sun moved to the center of the sky, and the melodious bells of Campana rang slowly.

The gray dove fluttered its wings and flew high into the air, looking through the corridor window as if a hazy cloud had floated in the air.

"It's coming to an end...... Vicilia pulled the silver key from her bosom and pointed her fingers trembling at the cylinder on the handle, about to enter the tower that had been hidden in the dust for years.
