At dawn, the sun was shining, and in the southern kingdom of Svilan, a small group of thirty-four people headed towards the hinterland of the kingdom of Rhett and disappeared into the distance of the city gate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

・・・・

{Damn!}

An angry curse rang out, startling the crowd, and Podolie shouted angrily: {Quick, the magic crown is gone!}

{Gone?}

{No!Even the wrapping cloth is gone, something has taken it!}

The escort team was stunned and checked the surroundings like a catastrophe, but found nothing unusual, but found that under the branches of the tree at the entrance, there was a strange small fork, very neat, people could not pass through, but animals could.

{Damn, I saw a monkey tearing at the sword in my dream yesterday,} Podolie said in realization: {No wonder it left with a smile, that damn monkey took the magic crown!}

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the magic crown was wrapped so invisibly that it was stolen by a monkey, which made people feel surprised and even more incredible. The monkey is agile and good at leaping over the canopy, how to chase.

{Quick, get up, that damn monkey must be attracted to the sound of the magic crown.} ｝

The anxious few people no longer climbed down, but jumped directly on the snow. Everywhere you can see with the naked eye, there is a sea of snow, covered in silver, shining, and only a few bright lights appearing on the edge of the sky make people feel at ease.

{How dare you steal from the hands of the warriors of my kingdom!} He said: {When I catch it, I will have to dismantle it!}

The Searles were accustomed to the anger of the knights of Podore, but Gael was afraid, and he wondered if such a fate would happen to the shaman.

Several people scattered around, looking around, hoping for something new, when suddenly one of them shouted, "I see, the magic crown is there!}

The monkeys barked and headed for the forest, and the team chased a little distance, and the knight of Podolie took the compass from his bosom, damn it, those monkeys went north, it was all the territory of the Treants.

{Quick, so put away your sword, or you will anger the trees, and if they don't kill us, they will trap us like a labyrinth.} ｝

The Kingdom of Red has a non-aggression pact with the Treants. The Serles are fierce, and as long as they don't burn the forest, provoke, or break into Treant territory with weapons, they will turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.

{Chase!}

The convoy chased the monkeys along where the last bark had died down, as if they were struggling through the mud, and the strange trees moved slightly, and opened their eyes to see that the Serris seemed to be chasing prey, not an invasion. Close your eyes and be silent again!

After chasing a long distance, the team was a little frustrated, trying to catch the monkey walking through the trees seemed like an impossible task, but they wouldn't just let the magic crown in their hands, then their glory would be trampled by the royal family!

The knights gathered around Podoli to study the map and directions, waiting for orders. Gale walked through the woods and climbed to the top of the hills, and his face was full of astonishment, strange castles that he had never seen before.

{Look, there is a castle on the other side of the hill!} he said: {The castle looks like it has no light, it looks like it has been abandoned.} ｝

From a distance, the structure of the castle is similar to that of the palace in the city of Neucerre, without any blocks, it looks like the private castle of the royal family, but the outer layer is peeled off and black, and the vines are remnants, as if there has been a fire, and it seems to have been attacked by monsters.

The escort arrived, pulled Gael to climb down, and took out the map to look at it carefully, and suddenly felt a little strange, such a large castle, no one had ever heard of it, and he had never seen it on the old map of the kingdom of Red.

{Look, that place.} } Following the direction pointed by Podoli, the tower at the back of the castle was broken by the barricade, and said, {It seems that something must have happened here.} ｝

{There is no sign of the monkey now, you say, will the monkeys hide in it to avoid the cold?} ｝

It was very possible to wake everyone up, but with the character of the Serles, even if there was no loss of the magic crown, they would enter the castle to check in case something evil appeared on the territory of the Red Kingdom.

{Go.} ｝

The escort team lowered its footsteps, and when they climbed over the hills, they did not forget to look up at the sky, and the road leading to the castle was open snow, and it was impossible to escape when they met the strange dragon.

{Nothing.} The knight of Podolie looked at it a few more times, and when he was sure that there was no doubt, he stepped away.

It's a pity to abandon such a majestic castle, but Gail is very curious, this castle is on the edge of the territory of the Tree Clan, and there is the Tree Clan as a natural danger barrier, how can it be abandoned, could it be the strange dragon?

As he was walking up the steps, the knight complimented, "You see, the stone statue of the white lion, it is very realistic.} ｝

Suddenly, the tail of the stone statue on the steps moved, the white snow fell to the ground, and a dull roar came, and the escort team instinctively drew out their long swords, but saw the stone statue disappear, and a white mist floated on the steps, transforming into a strange appearance, with a white lion head and a burly body, as tall as the Serrens.

{Who are you!!}

The crowd was terrified, and the people of the kingdom of Red believed in the light of glory, and rarely had seen such strange things more evil than witchcraft.

{I am the lion man who guards this castle.} He said, "What is the matter with your trespass into the city of Elambe." ｝

{Joke, this is the territory of my kingdom of Rhett, and we are the Searles.} The knights of Podolie were obviously a little unconvinced, the appearance of the strange dragon in the kingdom of Rhett was considered an invasion, and they were also broken into on the spot when they walked on the territory, and they were very dissatisfied.

{This is a place of darkness, you will be cursed if you don't stop!} The lionman doesn't want to talk to these self-righteous people, and the lion turns into a snow-white lion, like a stone sculpture, motionless.

{Damn the darkness, let my Selmen trample it!}

The knight drew his sword and headed for the gate of the abandoned castle, which was a stone structure with reliefs.

The clicky stone door was pushed open, but there was a cliff in front of it, and when you walked in, you saw that it was a circular staircase extending downward, and then you looked overhead, there were only a few places where there was light, as if the owner of this castle liked the dark.

Strange voices came. Reverberates inside the castle. The knight of Podolie waved his sword and warned him: {Remember, no matter what happens, do not mess with yourself.} ｝

Gail took out his magic wand and stared around, but saw the aisle in front of him on both sides, the door moved slightly, and he shouted: {There is something ahead!}

The escort team saw that there was a strange shadow in the place where the doorway was slightly moving, {follow me!} Podolie retracted his leg from the circular staircase, and led the group to touch it from the left direction.

Despite the pressure, the sound of the armor swinging like a bell in this silent place.

The sound of a knock was heard, and the shadow of the doorway receded, when the knight of Podolie suddenly quickened his pace and rushed forward!
