Chapter 131: Life under house arrest
Could it be that the big businessman had a way out of here? Fei decided to follow the other man first. After all, the towering walls on the periphery of the courtyard and the servants who watched from the shadows had shown that it was almost impossible to escape easily. If we really wait until the war is over, then the future that greets everyone will not necessarily end well - with the methods of the regent Xiumo, it is really unpredictable.
Led by Gabrihaus, Count de Barlow, who was still impatient, and Field, who was expressionless, walked out of the courtyard and walked half a circle along the shallow lake to the room where Gabelhouse lived. Every room by the lake is about the same, there are twelve in total, but each room is a little different in color and style. Fide lived in the sixth, the great merchant in the twelfth, and the Count de Barlo in the second. There are a number of fishing spots along the lake, and Gabrihaus said servants regularly release fish for the entertainment of the guests who live here. The big businessman said that this was not actually a place to put them under house arrest, but it was just enough to use it now.
Gabelhaus said that in addition to this lake, there is a small lake in the northwest direction where fishing is also available. Feder took a look, and the shallow lake in front of him was bottomless, and the edge of the lake was directly deep, as if someone had dug a big hole in this place, and it was not a naturally formed lake.
The subsequent visit turned into a walk around the edge of the walls of the palace under construction. Although the shallow lake in the center and twelve separate rooms have been built, the two large open spaces to the north and east have been completely deserted. Large pieces of stone and wood could be seen left on the ground, but no construction workers were touching them, but some patrolling guards were walking around.
After walking around, Fed found that the place had a thick outer wall, a lot of open space suitable for building a palace, and a towering watchtower inside, which could see the inner and outer cities of Doret City, and even the three sub-cities outside Doret City.
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm under house arrest now, I'd be willing to live in this place for the rest of my life!" said Gabrihaus, pointing to the site that had been suspended. Here you can see birds flying overhead, white clouds and blue sky, but only half of the sky is blocked out of the high wall. There are others here, too, but the smiles of civilians don't appear here.
Fett remembered Mallot's Palace, which was bigger than here, almost the size of the inner city of Doret. Every king and emperor in the continent had to live in such a place, and they probably never had the opportunity to leave such high walls from birth to death. In this case, living in the palace seems to be no different from being under house arrest. As the daughter of the Grand Duke, Coss would have lived in such a place, and if she hadn't escaped from Mallote and ran into herself, perhaps she would have become a bird in this cage and never be able to fly.
Gabrihaus saw Feder standing still, motionless, "What's the matter, Staff Officer?"
"It's okay, let's keep walking. ”
After a long day of wandering, Feder didn't find a breakthrough to leave. Not to mention the towering inner walls, even the watchtowers are also guarded, there are three floors above the watchtowers, it is estimated that the highest floor is used to observe the movement outside the city, the second level is used to observe the outer city, and the lowest level is used to observe the inner city. This kind of close surveillance not only shows his own movements, but also the rest of Doret City.
In addition to the watchtower on the heights, there were also quite a few servants working near the twelve rooms, and there were also some workers who were carrying building materials, they just brought things in, but no one started to build the palace. Many of the servants were doing their work seriously, but many more were watching them with stealthy eyes, as if they had already been ordered to watch their every move. Even the servants who entered their rooms and claimed to clean and bring food were as many as seven times a day, and although they came in with their heads down and went out with their heads down, they had nothing to speak of.
The food was still delicious, the scenery was good, and even the servants were attentive to him, but the thought of living in such a place full of eyes for so long made it difficult for Fid to hold on. At night, Fed lay in bed and thought of a way to escape from the city, and not only did he have to find a way to escape the walls, but he also had to leave Doret City as soon as possible and return to the land of Amy, so that his men and mercenaries could leave with him. In this way, he must sneak away, and it would be better to have a fast horse, and if he made it back to the Potato Mercenary Regiment, it would be best to flee west to the Kingdom of Salins.
Just as Feder began to plan his escape, Ludwig pushed open the door of Fed's room directly, Feder remembered that he locked the door, and he didn't know how the other party unlocked it, "Have you already slept? Sorry to disturb." Ludwig was standing in the doorway, and Fidel could see the other from the bed, but the other person should not be able to see his own face. With that, Ludwig left the door of the room and withdrew, but Feder did not reply.
What the hell was he trying to do? It's been two nights, and he's going to come to my room every night to investigate?
For the next three days, Ludwig would pass by his room at night. Fidel has also cut back on outdoor activities, choosing to read in his room. Most of the books here are history books, and during this boring time, one of the books on the history of magic in history piqued Fed's interest. Although magic has long since become a legend, the enchanted weapon is definitely the best proof that magic is still left on the mainland. Fed believed that this continent was really as the ancient book said, there were many talented people here who specialized in all kinds of magic, and also used the power of different magic to help the people of this continent live better.
But it is also written that the magic that once made humanity better turned out to be a weapon for careerists. Misfortune and calamity ensued, until a group of more advanced magicians joined forces to use their powers to wipe out all those who had tarnished the original purpose of magic, and finally set up an extermination plan called "Disillusionment" - when all other magicians and books on magic were gone, the twelve magicians chose to take matters into their own hands. It's just that some of them later had different intentions and wanted to destroy the others, and then use the power of magic to dominate and become the only master of the world. Of course, it didn't work out in the end, but those who supported and those who opposed the preservation of magic were divided into two factions, and their respective missions and purposes were opposed.
There are also many bizarre things recorded in ancient books, such as mentioning that each of the twelve magicians is good at a certain type of magic, and one of the magicians also fused the summoned monsters with his own body, becoming mindless and becoming monsters. This recorded incident reminded Fei De of the leader of the knight mercenary regiment of His Majesty, King Blackwing, could it be that the legendary royal descendant is also such a monster?
However, judging from the time recorded in this book, the last attack on the magicians appeared a thousand years ago, and the magic after that was like blood diluted in water, which could not be seen or smelled. On the contrary, the current Holy Maiden Goliath of the Western Oguna Empire, in the name of the last magician on the mainland, calls herself a holy woman, and it is estimated that it is just a fallacy to confuse the public. As he thought, Fede recalled how he felt when he met Goliath the other day, and although the other party had an extraordinary temperament, it was a bit too exaggerated to say that she was a magician, and it was okay to be a person who was favored by the commoners, like the Pope. On the contrary, those corpse soldiers of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment are more like traces of magic, and since they promised to kill the pillar priest, they will definitely have a chance to see it in the future
There is no information about life weapons in the book, but life weapons were born many years ago, which is really strange to think about.
Fei De stood on the balcony and looked out, twelve rooms and twelve magicians, maybe Xiu Mo was so that the souls of the twelve mages could rest here, so these twelve rooms were just built.
