Roy stood still by the waterfall, feeling a sigh of emotion in his heart. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels
From below, the raised rocks, the canopy of the umbrella-like trees, and the splashing mist of the waterfall combine to form a natural screen that completely obscures the view.
If it weren't for the fact that the trail of a raging bear happened to be found at the edge of the waterhole, no one would have thought that there would be an ancient castle walking up the steep and slippery hillside!
When he saw the waterline still visible on a bare rock, Roy was surprised to find that it had once been a mountaintop lake.
It was only later that a hole was opened on this side of the waterfall and the lake disappeared. The river that passes through the lake is also diverted from here, forming a waterfall along the mountain.
The castle was built on the edge of the former lake, in the current mountain col. Judging from the artificial stone pillars that lie down the hillside of the castle, there must have been a small pier there. The castle's tall walls, wide and sturdy moat stone bridges and towering guard towers all show the majesty of the castle in those years.
At this moment, what a berserk bear, what Jin Lulang, has been completely left behind by Roy.
He couldn't wait to run towards the castle.
Oliver, the fat dog who has always been sรจ, discovers a new world and immediately jumps up like an arrow. The four short legs flipped quickly, running and jumping, and a pair of big ears flew backwards, looking like a black and white pig running wildly.
"Wang!" Oliver, who crossed the stone bridge first to reach the castle gate, did not dare to enter, but grinned at the rotten doorway. Screamed twice, and the throat whined viciously, and then screamed twice. It was as if there was some vicious beast inside, already frightened by the heroic fat dog, Lord Oliver.
It wasn't until Roy caught up and performed heroically and heroically that Oliver, who didn't go in anyway, stopped his screaming and followed Roy's feet with arrogance.
Roy walked up the stairs, through the rotten wooden door, into the walled castle square.
The square is trapezoidal, wide in front and narrow in the back.
The front and left and right sides are surrounded by the city wall, and a long road runs along the wall to the wall. The surrounding brick and wood houses such as servants' houses, blacksmiths' houses, and stables have collapsed, leaving only a row of ruins.
In the innermost part of the square, is the main building of the castle.
The main building is built in the recess of a mountain, rising from the mountain, tall and majestic. The entire body is made of huge rectangular stones, which are still strong and sturdy despite the erosion of wind and rain.
Just looking at the statue in the fountain pool in front of the main building and the heraldic motif on the statue's pedestal, Roy understood why the castle had been abandoned.
Here, apparently, is the castle of the lord of Bollabelle.
It's just that the owner here is not a nobleman canonized by the royal family of the Saint Solan Empire, but a prince of the Roman Empire more than a hundred years ago!
The statue of Julius Caesar and the coat of arms of the imperial family are not clearly proof of this!
Roy sped through the square as he searched his mind for information about the Prince of the Roman Empire who had ruled the South. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't expect any prince to build a castle in such a place.
It wasn't until he pushed open the heavy door and entered the empty and gloomy hall that he saw the two skeletons standing silently with long swords in front of him, that he suddenly heard a figure that he had completely ignored.
That is, two hundred years ago, during the time of Caesar V of the Romance Dynasty, the most famous mad prince and necromancer - Austin!
Austin was the illegitimate child of Caesar V after a night of indulgence with a prostitute found by his subordinates during his campaign.
At that time, Caesar V was on a crusade against the rebellious nobles of the south. After passing through the small city, the army stayed for only two days before moving south.
So Austin grew up in a brothel with her mother, who was a prostitute, from birth.
It was a time of great turmoil. The rebellion of the southern aristocracy lasted for more than thirty years.
As the son of a lowly prostitute, Austin was bullied and humiliated from an early age, and witnessed the most tragic scenes and cruel crimes in the world.
After his mother was raped and killed by a gang of rebels, the young Austin, with extreme hatred, followed his mother's guidance and embarked on a journey to the capital of the Romance Empire.
During the journey, Austin's magic awakens.
The thought of trying to resurrect his mother and inflict the most cruel revenge on his enemies made him choose to become a necromancer without hesitation.
It was a time of heaven for necromancers. With corpses and wandering souls everywhere, Austin had grown into a true Mage of Langxing before he arrived in the capital.
It's just that no one knows that his magic is actually necromancy.
Austen, who looked like Caesar V, with royal red hair and pale skin like lime, recognized Caesar V with almost no twists and turns.
Then, the teenager, who was canonized as a prince the following year, locked himself up in the most secluded magic tower of the Royal Academy of Magic for a full decade.
Finally, early one morning, Austin came out.
From that day on, the entire continent was plunged into terror.
Austin, who volunteered to go south to participate in the war, led the army to roar south.
When he arrived at the battlefield where he was fighting with the southern nobles, what appeared in front of the southern nobles was not the hundreds of thousands of skeleton cavalry that later generations imagined, but more than a thousand zombies spreading the plague!
Since then, the entire southern part of the empire has been littered with corpses and human beings. It's like hell on earth. And Austin has left a reputation in human history as the king of terror.
After the war, Caesar V did not allow Austin, who had caused panic throughout the royal family and aristocracy, to return to the capital. He gave the land of the South to Austin as a fief, leaving him in the South forever.
Since then, the father and son have never seen each other again.
When you think of Austin, the mystery of why this ancient castle was built here is solved at once.
Only this necromancer would build an ancient castle and a magic tower in such a place. Only the castle of this madman who spread the plague will be abandoned.
Standing in front of the magic tower covered with vines all around, Roy's heartbeat could be heard almost by the entire valley.
In this world, there was no one who once had the most god-given treasures than the royal family of the Roman Empire.
And the whole city of Borabel may have a place where the [Verdict] is hidden.
Nothing more than here!
Roy, reaching out his hand, pushed towards the door of the Magic Tower.
He didn't know what was inside. However, he found that several flame moths were flying into the magic tower that had been silent for two hundred years, but they scattered as sparks again and again, reuniting outside the magic tower
