Chapter 43: The Water Castle
In a manor next to the Fifth Label Black Pillar Mountain, the three of the Extraordinary Guldosta and the little moon wolf Aguit were strolling around in the company of the Freeport Administrator.
"Jubbio Juwang, guardian of the great god of war Odin, enforcer of the order of the Dwarven Highlands, master of Storm City, and descendant of many generations of copper-headed Jubio Mighty, invites you to visit the master's fine collection of Storm Castle!"
Gu Lie looked at the fiery fat man who was chatting with the government official in front of him, and seriously reported the news from the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce.
Extraordinary had a two-year gap in his understanding of the Chamber of Commerce, but it did not prevent him from learning from Gu Lie that the current Chamber of Commerce was powerful.
All the main city-level cities of the Kingdom of Bitran, the Duchy of Taal and the Kingdom of Orlanto among the seven kingdoms of the continent have the business liaison offices and extraordinary cafes of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce.
Some lords with special preferences can issue a "prohibition of alcohol", but "coffee", a wonderful drink that awakens the mind and strengthens the brain, has become a household name after three years of promotion.
A cup of coffee of five dinars is a bitter and joyful attitude of life, and a cup of coffee for a silver coin is the quality of life.
A cup of coffee for a gold coin is a real luxury.
The Duke of Vasari strictly followed the ancient aristocratic etiquette, and this water castle estate was a return gift from the Grand Duke.
Thinking about staying in Freeport for a few more days, Extraordinary gladly accepted.
The main building of the manor is a five-story square castle, and at the four corners of the castle, the dome is connected by four conical towers, and on the top floor of the castle is the same dome as in the Duke's Castle, but not as large as the Duchess.
In front of the square castle, there is a large lake, the water of the lake is rippling, and many white swans are playing on the water.
From a distance, the castle looks like it stands in the water, hence the name Water Castle.
It is the private property of the Grand Duke of Vasari, located above and below the Black Stone Pillar, and is invaluable in terms of location and safety.
From the outside, the exterior decoration of the entire castle adopts a curvilinear and curved design, with prominent decorations and intricate carved frames.
On all four sides of the exterior wall, there are various reliefs of major event lines from various eras, and the solidity of the white corundum wall is only slightly lower than that of the black stone.
Anna was a little dissatisfied with the extraordinary stay in the Free Port, and was angry in the hotel.
Extraordinary is very happy to see Anna who will be angry, which shows that the mentality of his apprentice is slowly approaching a normal girl of her age.
Listening to Gu Lie's report, he saw the fat man and the administrative officer in front of him turn around, and found that they had come to the gate of the castle.
The porch is about twenty steps high, and there are two gargoyles crouching on the ground next to the heavy iron-wood lacquered door, and Dosta is beside it, almost the same height.
The round arches have fine hanging flowers, ribs and flowers carved with white corundum, and are full of color, and the pattern of the dragon's breath on the top and left and right of the cornice is vivid.
Excessively large-scale carvings and gemstone ornaments are a symbol of its status.
Walking up the steps, the magistrate put his hands on the door and pushed it gently, and the faint sound of gears sounded, and the door opened.
It's a little different from the two castles I've ever seen.
The floor of the castle of the Grand Duke of York is old and has a bluestone floor.
In addition to the benefits of being simple and heavy, it is slightly lacking in aesthetics.
The castle of the Duke of Casper is paved with stone strips and decorated with fine tiles.
The floor of this extraordinary castle is all paved with sea soul stones, and each sea soul stone has a different natural pattern.
Legend has it that the fossils of sea creatures that are instantly solidified in each sea soul stone have a living soul sealed in it, and living in the environment of the sea soul stone for a long time has many benefits for the nourishment of their souls.
"My lords, compared to these building materials, the most precious thing in the whole castle is these frescoes on the walls. ”
"The murals on each wall are from shipwrecks and sea tribes in the endless sea!"
The young magistrate diligently introduced everything in the castle, and the young man felt that the objects that could be gifted to the castle by the Duke of Vasari were all big people that he needed to look up to.
Extraordinary stepped forward, reached out and touched the uneven murals, feeling the emotions contained in them.
There are characters, landscapes, large-scale war scenes, and lonely lost hearts under the moon.
Worn and weathered, an unknown image from an unknown era, people do not look like people, but they have a bit of charm.
A busy morning was spent in the castle, and after receiving the title deed from the hands of the young magistrate, he sat on a high-backed chair on the high platform in the castle hall.
The reason why the first one is placed on a high platform is to make the owner of this room stand tall even if he is sitting.
Below Guret was sitting and sorting out the letters he had just received, and with the "Vivien's messenger", he could receive news from York City at any time.
Dosta is not in the hall, but in the inspection of the entire castle.
The "Transsonic Conch" and the memory crystal with its own array disk can secretly record the words and deeds of the person being monitored, and there is no big mistake in being careful.
It wasn't until Dosta returned to the hall with the magic compass and nodded at the extraordinary that the extraordinary stopped his magic perception and breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that everything was safe, Gu Lie put down the letterhead in his hand and said:
"My lord, Hawei has been informed that fifty middle- and high-level guards will be sent to the manor, all of whom are old people in the manor, with families and clean feet. ”
"When we arrive at Freeport, these fifty people are the backhands of our Chamber of Commerce that can gain a firm foothold, even if we leave, the interests of the Chamber of Commerce in Santerit will be guaranteed!"
Weakness is the original sin, and the law of the jungle is the truth.
Since Gu Lie was aggrieved two years ago, it has taken two years to train a group of slave workers to escort them in cafes in various countries on the mainland to provide information and intelligence for the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce.
The Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce is not short of money, but it lacks high-level combat power to protect wealth.
Although the batch of high-level combat power that Gu Lie spent a lot of effort to quickly build, although it had a huge impact on the future advancement of these people, it was also impossible to do it when the Chamber of Commerce did not have top-notch combat power.
"Here's a message I just received, I think you should take a look!"
Yorkshire levied four "twin lance" knights and two air guards to attack Caspar Territory.
At the same time, Duruk also set off four "Sea Serpent Knights" to the west, and the target was also the city of Ill in Caspar County.
Counting the eup, the two dukes threw more than 3,000 people into Caspar.
"It seems that there is going to be a fight between the two powerful dukes because of the Casper Plains! I wonder what Rodney will do if he knows this news!"
It wasn't Casper's fate that worried about it, but whether Rodney would just join the fray.
"If your Excellency is worried about Rodney, forget it, Rodney boarded an exploration ship on the day he parted with us, and his destination was the easternmost lighthouse outpost of the Endless Sea. ”
Extraordinary frowned, Gu Li didn't say it's okay, the Endless Sea is better than the battlefield in Caspar, Extraordinary would rather Rodney go to the battlefield.
There are too many unknown dangers in the Endless Sea, and when the time comes, the extraordinary whip will not be able to reach them.
"My lord, come out quickly! Aguit plucked all the swan feathers from the lake!"
