If you look down from the top, the city lord's mansion, which is full of classical atmosphere and quiet and elegant, always faintly reveals a smashing atmosphere in elegance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a very normal thing, because this architectural model called the Huzhai Building has not only been used for residential purposes since ancient times, but also in the thousands of years of imperial history of the Maple Leaf Continent, the Huzhai Building was more often used as a defensive facility to protect the owners who lived in it.

The Maple Leaf Continent is not peaceful, in the history of 7,000 years, large and small wars have never been broken, whether it is a continental war that changes the dynasty, or a small-scale dispute between local governments for the sake of interests, the clouds of war have never dispersed from the sky over the Maple Leaf Continent.

Even the last dynasty, that is, the period of the Maple Leaf Empire, which lasted for more than a thousand years, although the imperial family has never changed, but every few decades, at least a local war is ignited, and hundreds of thousands of civilians are involved in it.

In order to cope with this situation of a small battle for decades and a big battle for hundreds of years, in order to protect their lives and property, the house building began to appear on the maple leaf land, and in the most chaotic era, even every household used this building model to build a house with both residence and defense, which was connected to each other to prevent the attack of bandits at any time.

The house building is a three-storey building on three sides, only the front is a three- or four-meter-high wall, the outer layer must be a masonry structure, and the wall is often three or four times the thickness of an ordinary wall, which can not only keep warm, but also make the exterior wall extremely strong, many times even if it is bombarded, one or two may not be able to damage the exterior wall of the house.

On the three sides of the building, it usually looks no different from an ordinary small building, with bright windows neatly arranged, flowers in bloom on the windowsills, and colorful curtains fluttering in the wind in the open glass windows.

But once the chaos erupted, everything was different.

From the thick frame of the window, two dense metal fences can be pulled out, and the windows are closed in two layers, and there is also a layer of collapsible metal plates inside the windows, so that you can control how much external space you want to leave as you like, and an ordinary window becomes a shooting hole in the blink of an eye, tilting bullets and arrows outward if necessary.

As for the bottom floor, the windows can be completely sealed, just close to the ground, you can open some small round holes about ten centimeters in diameter, each room, equipped with spears and guns suitable for these small round holes, after the chaos breaks out, once the rebels approach, a large number of sharp spears or bullets, will be repeatedly spit out from these small holes, not to kill the enemy, but to destroy the enemy's action and will to fight to the greatest extent.

As for the front of the house, it is more like a fortress.

The actual thickness of the courtyard wall is close to one meter, and there are stone steps along the wall inside that can go straight up to the top of the wall, and the female walls of different heights can be used to look at the scenery outside the wall in ordinary times, and in wartime, it naturally turns into a shooting platform and pours fire into the outside of the city.

In the later period of the Maple Leaf Empire, due to the increasing power of firearms, the existence of the house building has lost its own meaning, becoming less and less, and after the catastrophe, the lack of space inside the city has made the house building a chicken rib, so in most cities, it is difficult to see.

But now, in this peaceful and peaceful little city, Rose and the female leopard actually saw a most standard mansion.

Of course, it was peacetime, and the mansion was still in a normal state of peace, with no archers on the courtyard walls on guard at all times, and no spears holding spears behind the gates.

Passing through the open gate and around the shadow wall carved with the five-clawed green dragon, a wave of steaming water is greeted by a man-made fountain that spews water into the sky, the sound of water is crisp and the mist is filled.

Along the path between the verdant bamboos, the main body of the house building broke through the cover of the bamboo forest, and suddenly appeared in front of him, outside the main hall door on the first floor, eight maids lined up left and right, and Sister Yue, who was dressed as a maid, lived in the middle, with her hands folded in her lower abdomen, with a gentle and quiet smile on her face, respectfully waiting for the return of the host and guests.

"Greetings to the young master. Seeing the crow with the two ladies in front of him, eight young maids bowed at the same time and said in unison, "Welcome to the two guests." ”

"Wow, maid, living maid. The female leopard looked greedily at several maids from head to toe, although the girls were not very beautiful, but they were full of youthful vitality, the eldest was not more than eighteen years old, the youngest was not even twelve, eight young girls stood there side by side in maid clothes, I am afraid that as long as they are normal people, it will be difficult to control their admiring gaze. Of course, the female leopard is not normal at all, but this does not prevent her from appreciating the girls equally, and she did not forget to say with a smile, "xx crow, my impression of you has changed, although you have a poor character and unbearable character, but at least your taste is still very good, this maid outfit, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, ”

"Hey, hey, hey. The crow's smile this time made the female leopard not annoying it at all, "Yes, I personally designed the maid costume, I haven't shown it to outsiders, you are the one who is you, besides, wipe the corners of your mouth, saliva is flowing out." ”

"I'm x. The female leopard quickly wiped the corners of her mouth and found that there was no liquid on the back of her hand, so she realized that she had been tricked again, the muscles at the corners of her eyes twitched, and the scars on her face became distorted and hideous, "xxx, you xx are playing me again." ”

"Don't hit these kids' minds. The crow actually pulled his face and said to the female leopard with extra seriousness for the first time, "This is not negotiable, as early as five years ago, when they came to my house, I swore that no one would be allowed to beat them. ”

"Was it five years ago?" the female leopard was only grumpy, but at least she had her own intelligence, and after listening to the crow's warning, she turned back and exchanged glances with Rose. Neither of them had forgotten that the events that happened five years ago that Raven had mentioned yesterday, combined with some of the information they heard today, seemed to have become particularly intriguing at this point in time.

This time, the female leopard didn't actually fight against the crow, but nodded thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "I probably understand, sorry, I was rude just now." ”

"Thank you. The crow was startled by her, and looked at the rose in surprise, but only received a smile that was indifferent and mysterious. This made him scratch his head with a wry smile and said, "This time I accept your affection, and I will be less angry with you a few times in the future." Hehehe, come on, I'll introduce you to you. ”

As he spoke, the crow walked along the path vacated among the maids, patted each girl on the head, and finally walked up to the maid Chang Yue, opened her arms and said, "This is Sister Yue, if you are not used to it, you can call her Zhang Yue." ”
