Chapter 150: The Castle

The Black Lagoon in winter did not freeze, and from a distance it looked like a deep blue dye dripping on a white canvas, and the Bacon family's castle was now located next to the Black Lagoon, like a huge rock guard, watching any wind and grass on the lake.

The carriage drove from a distance towards the castle, which lay in a tall pine tree, and its strong body was slowly and clearly imprinted in the eyes of everyone, like a strong young man, proudly showing his figure among the trees.

Bacon Castle is located on the shore of the Black Lagoon as a whole, it looks a little bigger than Hugo imagined, it can be considered a small castle at all, there is no moat on its periphery, but a clear stream flows out of the Black Lake, passes through the inner side of the castle's stone walls and flows into the distance.

The castle as a whole is very obvious Romanesque style, also known as Norman style in England, the most important thing about this style of castle is its own defense problem, very strong and full of ancient Romanesque architectural art, far away you can see the highest part of the castle exposed barrel vault, this kind of vault is actually very heavy, it needs huge walls and buttresses to support it to be able to bear its weight, and the solidity also restricts the castle itself to be high, The pursuit of large aspects, so the general large castle is not built in this way, and the small castle is precisely the best choice for this style.

On the outside of the castle is a heavy stone wall, the stone wall is not high about three meters, in the four corners of the stone wall sits a round tower, such a tower is stronger than the square one, not easy to destroy, the stone wall will flow from the black lake in a section of the stream in the inside, so that the problem of drinking water and sewage discharge is completely solved, this construction method is very common in small castles, if it is a large castle, it is necessary to dig wells everywhere, in the middle of the stone wall is a tightly closed gate, looking at it from a distance makes people have a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away。

The convoy slowly stopped at the gate of the castle through the pine forest, either because of the winter or because of the spirits, and the whole castle gave a strong sense of dead silence, and there was an icy atmosphere everywhere.

If you don't take into account the resentment factor, it can be said that the castle sells quite well, and the Romanesque style full of solidity and art alone is at least more than 5,000 gold galleons, and this is still without seeing the specific decoration and structure inside, if there are surprises inside, the price is even higher!

The first impression of the three buyers of this castle is very good, especially the Leo Knight, he is very fond of the tactical system of the Roman period, and the love house and Wuxia are very fond of the Romanesque architecture that attaches importance to defense, but in fact, he has the least funds among the three, if it is a fair bid, most of them are not the opponents of the merchant Franklin, but the merchant considers more about the value of the castle itself, if it exceeds his psychological price a lot, he will not necessarily buy it, but Leo Knight can die because he likes it, which is also his biggest advantage。

Of course, the gold gallons on their bodies were gray in Hugo's eyes, and now it was only the disturbing spirit and the structure of the castle that made sense to decide whether Hugo would buy it or not.

Everyone got out of the carriage one after another, and then everyone involuntarily let out a sigh of admiration for the castle, and the face of the loser John Bacon showed such a complicated and tangled expression, and every time he saw this castle, he felt that his heart ached so much that he could not breathe.

Knight Leo's left hand tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, his eyes flashed with light from the stone wall to the four corners of the arrow tower, and then to the castle barrel vault in the distance, the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt, he couldn't help but walk forward quickly, put his hands on the gate, and pushed the gate open with enough strength.

The sound of the door being pushed through the door that had not been opened for a long time came from the cold and gloomy sound of sadness, which made people shudder and suddenly break away from the atmosphere of appreciation, only to think that there was a terrible ghost hidden in this distinctive castle!

Even the Leo knight turned pale, took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the love in his heart, and then slowly retreated from the main entrance, but the desire in his eyes did not decrease a little.

At this time, the merchant Franklin walked up to John from the carriage behind him with a big belly, and said with a smile: "Bacon's castle is really good, but it's a pity that there is a terrible evil spirit, even if it can be expelled, who knows if there will be other hidden dangers?

This idea came to everyone's minds at the same time, but I have to say that what he said also has a certain truth, and it is human nature for buyers to try their best to bargain, and no one can say anything.

John Bacon only felt that the green tendons in the corners of his forehead were beating wildly, and a wave of anger was pressed against his heart, subconsciously clenching his teeth, his cheeks bulging, his hands hidden under the robe clenched desperately, and his nails were clenched tightly into the flesh and blood in his palms, as if there was a feeling that he would explode at any time.

'Robbery while the fire is burning and I have to talk nonsense!' The Bacon family has fallen so far, even a merchant would dare to speak like that!If it weren't for the fact that I was a squib... How nice it would be if I wasn't a Squib!'

John took a deep breath, then lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and when he looked up again, the expression on his face was very indifferent, he ignored Franklin's bargain, and turned his head to look at the two exorcists and the wild wizard crow who were following behind the convoy.

"Three Excellencies, the target this time is the resentful spirit of Francis Bacon in the castle, as long as it can disappear forever, then what I promised you will never be reversed, can a few masters start?"

The crow following the crowd, staring at the open castle gate with a solemn face, he could feel a cold breath diffusing from it little by little, like a cold storage that had been opened from the gate, this breath made him feel dangerous, sure enough, nothing can be easily obtained, it seems that this time he has to fight!

The two exorcists looked at each other with solemn expressions, the older of them Thomas took out an arm-length mace from under his long cloak, while the other took out a bow and crossbow from the deerskin bag on their horse's back and held it in his hand, under normal circumstances, physical weapons would not do much damage to the spirits, but they were exorcists, they used weapons that had been blessed by the Church, and in addition to this, they also poured a bottle of holy water on the weapons, so that they could inflict powerful damage on the evil spirits。

Thomas the exorcist looked at the crow with a solemn look, and without saying anything, he walked in the direction of the castle first, and the other exorcist followed, and the crow thought about it and followed them into the gate of the castle one after another, as if walking towards a cold abyss.
