The Red Fort, the veritable capital of the Principality of Como, the political hub of the Principality, and the residence of the former Grand Dukes of Como. The Red Fort is located in the heart of North Carolia Province, because North Carol Province is close to Ontario and is in a relatively gentle plain area, so the terrain of the entire Red Fort is relatively gentle, and there are not many steep mountains.
Red Castle, with the word castle on the name, when Lin Meng really appeared under the city, he found that this was completely different from the Red Fort he had imagined in his mind, the Red Fort that Lin Meng thought of was an ancient castle made of a bunch of red stones, but when he really saw the huge city wall in front of him, Lin Meng found that he was once again impressed by the creativity of this world.
Looking at the city wall in front of him, which was much higher than the city wall of Oise City, Lin Meng had an impulse to worship for the first time, what kind of wisdom and great power can create such a brilliant civilization, Lin Meng found that he began to like this world a little, because this world always gave him too many surprises.
After more than two months of trekking through mountains and rivers, seeing the city of Red Fort for the first time, Lin Meng's spirit was extremely shaken. The 30-meter-high city wall is all made of cyan square stones, giving people a sense of solidity, calmness and grandeur at a glance. When you get closer, you can see the traces of time left on the wall, and there are some obvious 'scars' left by man-made repairs.
"Red Keep!!I'm back!!" Marquis Ness sat on his horse and looked at the tall city wall in front of him, revealing a complicated look, staring at the huge city in front of him, with a look of distraction. For a while, everyone silently followed behind Marquis Nice, silently looking at the giant city in front of them,
It took a long time for Marquis Ness to come back to her senses from her fugue, and then the look of remembrance in her eyes was replaced by a touch of determination.
"Let's go!!" Marquis Ness took the lead and led the people forward, and after a while, the convoy came to the city gate, the city gate of the Red Fort is not like the two city gates of Oise City, there is only one very majestic city gate, nearly ten meters wide, two huge iron gates, were pushed open and close to the wall, revealing the wide city gate hole, merchants and travelers coming and going, lined up in an orderly manner in the city gate hole, waiting for release.
The soldiers at the gate of the city saw such a large convoy coming, and immediately stepped forward to ask, when they learned that this was the convoy of the Marquis of Ontario, their faces were solemn, and they hurriedly let them go, without a trace of embarrassment, even the formalities were waived, and Lin Meng, who saw it, couldn't help but sigh secretly, it's the same everywhere, as long as you have enough awesome power in your hands, you can receive special treatment.
Walking in the city gate hole, Lin Meng noticed that there were several city gates made of steel plates above everyone's heads, Lin Meng guessed that this was to cope with the wartime, and directly put it down from the top to seal the entire city gate, otherwise such a wide city gate would rely on the two city gates wrapped in iron sheets and carved with gorgeous patterns, I am afraid that Grand Duke Como would not be able to sleep well at night. Lin Meng also saw some mechanical facilities such as gears and nooses on the side, and from the oil traces on them, these facilities were often maintained and used, which confirmed Lin Meng's own guess.
Following everyone through the city gate hole, Lin Meng came to a noisy world, looking at the bustling scene in front of him, all kinds of shouting, talking and laughing, as well as the sound of children running in it, laughter. all made Lin Meng feel a real world.
A city wall separates the two worlds, the outside of the city is quiet and peaceful, and the city is full of hustle and bustle, looking at such a lively street market, Lin Meng's heart is also happy. Shaking his head, looking at the various stalls on both sides, he was relishing.
"Come, Ewing, let's go to my house first!!We'll have to live there for the rest of the year!!" Marquis Ness turned her head and said hello, and took the lead in one direction, and everyone hurriedly followed. When everyone on the road saw such a large convoy, they also knew that it must be a nobleman who had returned with his family, so they avoided it one after another. The street was clear for a while, and Marquis Ness looked at the scene in front of him, smiling, taking the lead, and feeling like he was returning home.
Half an hour later, everyone came to the door of a deserted manor, Lin Meng looked at it slightly, the manor is very huge, it looks quite old, even the flower beds at the door, the wall tiles have weathered a lot, and the buildings inside also seem to have a long history, but they are often cleaned and maintained, so it looks very antique, making people feel that this is a manor with a long history at first glance, and it is a symbol of family inheritance.
"Knock knock!!" Marquis Ness rang the bronze bell directly by the gate of the manor, and the melodious bell slowly spread in all directions, and after waiting for a while, just when everyone was a little annoyed, an old voice sounded from inside, and then the door was slowly opened.
"Who? This is the manor of the Marquis of Kent Como, is there anything you have to do?" I saw an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a decent dress, and a spirited old man coming out of the gate, and when he saw so many people appearing at the door, he was slightly surprised, and immediately said.
"Uncle Barry, I'm Ness...... I'm back!!" The moment the old man appeared, Marquis Ness stepped forward with excitement and hugged the old man in front of him fiercely, a trace of moisture flashed in his eyes, but he quickly wiped it away in concealment.
"Ni...... Ness...... Little master, you are finally back, since the master left, you went to Ontario to inherit the marquis title, it has been nearly ten years since you came back, Mary and I don't know if we can wait for the day you come back, I didn't expect you to come back today!!" the old man said excitedly, while constantly wiping his tears, for a while, the old tears were all over the place.
"Well, Uncle Barry, haven't I come back!! I will not go again, go and inform Aunt Mary, that I will eat her dessert and barbecue. Looking at Barry, who was constantly choking and couldn't help himself, Marquis Ness whispered while patting Barry's back.
Sure enough, when Barry heard the words of the Marquis of Nice, he immediately wiped his robe on his face and said in a loud voice, "Yes, yes!!!" You see that I am so happy, and forget about it, and I will go and inform Mary, and ask her to make her your favorite keto and roast beef. After saying that, Barry walked in, and the cheerful mood of the old man could be seen from afar.
Looking at the old man's departing figure, Marquis Ness looked at the grass and trees inside the gate, with a hint of remembrance on his face, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Let's go!!" and stepped into the gate of the manor first.
Everyone entered, and the manor was still very well maintained, with lush flowers and trees, and it seemed full of vitality. On both sides of the wide main road are some strange-looking old trees, some thick rhizomes are exposed on the ground, intertwined, and the mottled shadows cast a beam of sunlight, making people feel like walking on the tree-lined path in the afternoon, peaceful and quiet!!
After turning a few corners, after passing a lake as clear as a mirror, everyone saw a huge castle standing on the other side of the lake in the distance. The calm lake, the deep castle, the lush trees, and the blue sky and white clouds, Lin Meng only felt that the picture in front of him was so harmonious and beautiful, and there was an unprecedented clarity in his heart, and his mood was sublimated!!
"Welcome to Mirror Lake Castle!!But I prefer to call it Kent Castle, since my father died!!" Marquis Ness stood in front of the gate of the castle, turned around and saluted Ewing and the others behind him, and the few servants in the castle had already lined up on both sides of the castle to greet him after learning that the owner of the castle, Marquis Ness, had returned.
"Welcome back Master Ness!!" I heard a neat voice from the ranks of attendants on both sides. Marquis Ness turned his head to look at the other two people standing in the castle gate except for Barry, and a big smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Aunt Mary, Uncle Kerry!!" the Marquis of Ness snorted, as if a swallow had returned to the nest and walked quickly, hugging a middle-aged woman with tears on her face. After calming the emotions of the middle-aged woman in his arms, Marquis Ness hugged his right hand fiercely, a burly middle-aged man wearing a knight's armor made of stainless steel, Lin Meng noticed that the armor on the man's body had been quite old, and there were several places where traces of repair could be clearly seen, but judging from the luster on the armor, this armor was obviously very well maintained by the man.
However, in this man, Lin Meng felt a faint sense of crisis, and as soon as Pu approached, it was like a needle prick, making Lin Meng's hair stand upside down in an instant, so that Lin Meng had to pay more attention to it. However, except for this knight, only a few seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys were left, wearing shiny knight armor, with red faces and tall chests, standing behind the middle-aged man, who seemed to be his knight apprentices.
"Father!!" Just as Lin Meng was paying close attention, a knight behind Marquis Niss also stepped forward, hugged the middle-aged man named Kerry fiercely, and shouted excitedly. Lin Meng remembered that this high-ranking knight named Hans Jesús was also one of Marquis Nice's subordinates, and he was one of the three high-ranking knights accompanying him, and he was quite trusted by Marquis Nice.
"Good boy!!'s so strong!!" Kerry first hugged Hans fiercely, and then looked Hans up and down with relief in his eyes, seeing that his son was now no longer in his burly body, and happily waved his thick palm on the knight's armor on Hans's chest, banging.
