Ironwood Cliff is a small castle that can accommodate about four or five hundred people.

It was built on the summit of a cliff on all sides, with only one access point to the stone bridge to the west.

It is really unrealistic to want to assassinate Si Mingqin in Ironwood Cliff.

If you want to attack Ironwood Cliff, you can only attack from the sky. And those who really have the ability to fall from the sky and silently enter the Iron Wood Cliff are only those few strong people who have reached the peak.

If it is a large-scale attack, you must first avoid the eyes and ears of the Seven Great Families, so that you can have a chance to approach the realm ruled by Ironwood Cliff. After that, you have to quickly clear the heavily guarded roads on the periphery, and the obstacles in the town, and then find a way to break through the forest area, and finally climb the lonely mountain and attack the city.

This is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the sky.

The buildings of Tiemu Cliff are built according to the mountain, almost connected, and the structure is very complex, unlike the courtyard of the forbidden land behind the Linglong Pavilion. First-time visitors to Ironwood Cliff should keep their eyes peeled for the road they have traveled, as if they have a bad memory, they may lose their way and not find their accommodation.

The dinner was held in the backyard garden, and the people of Tiemuya came, and they all dressed up to attend, which was very grand. But there were less than twenty people in total, all of them were the ones Mu Liu had seen at the bridge, not many of them, and no less than one of them.

Thinking of the fact that there are so many people following Changhuan on a trip, and then looking at Tiemu Cliff, the people are thin, and Mu Liu feels that this place is even more shabby than his own, which is unbelievable.

But the atmosphere of Ironwood Cliff is not bad, it is not deserted at all, and it is very warm.

Mu Liu is not good at words, his communication skills are extremely limited, and he has always been very passive. Now that I'm a newcomer, I'm still very new to everything in Ironwood Cliff. Even though everyone here is very friendly, it is still difficult to fit in for a short period of time, and it takes a while to get used to. I think that at the beginning, Si Mingqin was really stubborn, and it took a lot of thought to let him accept it and really come together.

So as soon as he finished eating, he left his seat and went to the rooftop alone.

Soon, Si Mingqin Zhen came over and sat down on the edge of the flower bed beside Mu Liu.

"These are my family, if you don't mind, you can treat them as your family. ”

"They look ordinary," Muliu said. ”

Si Mingqin really smiled.

"The old housekeeper of my family is a high-ranking mage, Uncle Long is a strong man at the peak of true martial arts, Aunt Mei and Lao Ji are not weak, the four of them have followed my grandfather Rong Ma for half their lives, and they were all well-known figures in the north decades ago, don't underestimate them. ”

That's not what I said. ”

As soon as Mu Liu said this, Si Mingqin really understood what he meant, looked at the family members who were pushing the glass and raising the lamp, and breathed a sigh of relief with great satisfaction.

"It's like a home. ”

"The Immortal Clan of Ironwood Cliff won't be just you and Uncle, right?"

"There is also an aunt and an uncle. ”

"What about them?"

"My aunt went to the Great Wall after leaving the Mirror Lake, and is currently serving under the tent of Xiao He, the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch Legion. My uncle left Ironwood Cliff before I was born, and I haven't heard from him for twenty years. ”

At this moment, there was a series of screams in the air, as well as the sound of giant beasts waving their wings.

Looking up, under the light of the lights, a huge beast flew in the night sky, it had the body of a lion, and the head, claws and wings of a giant eagle, and its size was huge, almost three times the size of an ordinary jujube red horse.

By the light of the lamp, Muryu recognized it as a giant beast called a griffon.

Griffins, like the Moon-Running Wolves, are very scarce and inhabit the northern grasslands, the northern mountains of the Wounded Forest, and the western part of the Central Plains. Griffons are fierce and ferocious, and are more difficult to tame than Pegasi and unicorns, but once tamed, they are extremely loyal.

When the Great Master was alive, Mu Liu once saw a griffin egg in Linglong Pavilion as an auction item, and was eventually taken away by a mysterious southerner for a sky-high price. Unexpectedly, I would see an adult griffin at Ironwood Cliff tonight.

The banquet that had not yet ended fell silent.

Si Mingqin really said to Mu Liu: "It's my grandfather who has returned. ”

His tone was flat, not at all as proud as he had been when he had mentioned his father.

The griffon landed on a wide platform built for it on the opposite side, prostrate on the ground. Then the old man on its back floated up, paced in the air, turned and walked away, without looking this way from beginning to end.

It's as if all the excitement in this world has nothing to do with him, even if there is his son and grandson here.

As soon as the master left, the griffin got up and jumped off the platform, presumably in search of food.

Si Mingqin Zhen also turned around and explained to Mu Liu: "That is the lord's courtyard over there, and that person doesn't like others to disturb him. So, ...... later"

"I know. ”

Mu Liu could see that Si Mingqin really had a discordant relationship with his grandfather.

At this time, Cai Bo pushed Si Ming Huai'an to the rooftop.

Si Ming Huai'an said: "You haven't been home for two months, go over and see him." ”

Si Mingqin really shook his head.

"He's your grandfather, after all. ”

"There's a lot to do tomorrow, and I've got to get ready for it. ”

After speaking, Si Mingqin really pulled Mu Liu out of the rooftop.

The old butler, Cai Bo, instructed the servant to go to the kitchen and bring over the decorated meal.

Si Ming Huai'an said: "Xiao Zhen doesn't want to see him, then I'll go." ”

Cai Bo nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

So, Si Ming Huai'an carried the brocade box containing the food, and Cai Bo pushed the wheelchair to the lord's residence......

Early the next morning, on the top of the attic high to the north, several red eagles fell one after another, a birdhouse built for bird messengers.

Some are from the North Sea.

Some are from Mirror Lake.

Some are from Iwasha.

There is also one from Akiyama.

The little brother Li Zhen is in charge of taking care of the aviary, and at the same time taking care of these messenger birds, and it has always been his duty to send and receive letters.

It was a coincidence that messengers from all over the world descended on the Ironwood Cliff in almost no particular order.

But Li Zhen was not surprised, hummed a little song, and took out the letterheads from afar one by one from the small letterhead on the red eagle's feet.

These letterheads are all in duplicate, except for the red eagle of the Akiyama family.

It had a small letterhead tied to both legs, and one of the letterboxes only took out a letterhead, and Li Zhen naturally knew very well who this should be handed over.

These little curly letterheads are sealed and require specific spells to unlock. If you don't open it in the right way, the letterhead will destroy itself.

These seals and the spells to unlock the seals are only in the hands of the high-level of the Mirror Lake Academy and the Seven Great Families, and even if outsiders intercept the messenger Red Eagle and get the letterhead, they will not be able to know the contents inside.

While feeding these industrious messengers with water and refined food, Li Zhen waited patiently to see if there were any other red eagles that fell, so that they could take them down with them, so as not to have to make another trip.

As expected, after just one cup of tea, four more red eagles came.

After that, Li Zhen felt that it was almost enough, so she took out the two jade tubes from the shelf next to her, put the letterhead separately, and then turned over and jumped down the attic.

I saw him leap in mid-air several times, as if he had stepped on the ground, and finally landed safely in the front yard of the lord......

The scene of Li Zhen jumping down from the attic was seen by Mu Liu, who had just finished breakfast, and he couldn't help but be stunned, because he knew that this Li Zhen was not a mage, but used the body technique of ancient martial arts.

Jumping from a height of 100 meters and landing safely is not a great skill, and Muryu can do it, but he may get a little injured. However, after a few jumps in the air and forcibly changing the direction and speed of the fall, this ability to move in the air is not simple.

Mu Liu couldn't help but ask Si Mingqin Zhen beside him, "What kind of exercise is that?"

"Qingyang Li's peerless ascending cloud step, he has already practiced to the sixth step, which can be regarded as a slight success. ”

"What will happen to the highest level of the cloud climbing step?"

Si Mingqin smiled and said, "I think I should be able to go all the way to the clouds." ”

Mu Liu was skeptical, "Really?"

"Of course, it's a joke, you can't get tired to death if you walk through it step by step, it's better to cultivate the ability to fly to the sky. Let's go, follow me to the library. ”

After that, Si Mingqin really walked in the direction of the library building.
