Chapter 10: Wanghaitai (1)
Built on a hill and on an isolated cliff jutting out into the sea, the castle was so steep that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and of course its walls could only be undulating along the hill, high and low, and then together they formed a group of fortifications that would discourage the attackers.

Among them, there is a section of the city wall that is located on the beach deep into the sea, tall, stable, solid, firmly monitoring the sea, when about battle, can play a variety of roles such as guard towers, fortresses, arrow towers, etc., is one of the most important defensive positions of the castle. However, as the memory of the war fades, the old identity has faded, and now, it is covered with a top facility, which plays more of a role as a landscape.
This section of the city wall is now known as Wanghaitai.
Didn't get the following, or rather, didn't get the accurate following about "eighty percent certainty", Luo Qi couldn't be satisfied, he was both anxious and angry, he quickly caught up with Ye Guyun, wanting to ask clearly.
However, after jumping over several stone steps in succession and catching up with Ye Guyun, who seemed to be slow but brisk, Luo Qi found that he couldn't ask questions.
There is something different at the top.
At the corner platform of the corridor, there were several armored sergeants guarding them, seemingly talking and laughing casually, but they were always vigilant around. As soon as I looked at the logo, a purple lily bloomed prominently on his chest, and there was no doubt that they were members of the Purple Lily Order. There were eight of them, all of them fully armed.
This fully armed is fully armed in the full sense of the word, with soldiers and armor, not all the sergeants I have encountered before, whether they are the Purple Lily Knights or the Crescent Knights, who only wear armor and no soldiers.
The purpose of the armor is to carry out the ritual and fulfill the etiquette, to show the warmth and importance that the host attaches to the guest, and the respect and sincerity of the guest to the host, although these things may not exist at all. It is precisely because of this delicate and awkward relationship between the two sides that the most sensitive weapons have been tacitly dispensed with.
After all, miscalculations and accidents don't want to happen.
Then, on this lively night, the identity of a group of people who can still keep their weapons is obviously not ordinary.
They are the personal guards of a certain dignitary.
Naturally, when they found that someone was trying to get closer, the group of guards immediately made a series of reactions that were very consistent with their identity. "Ding~~" A series of sword draws sounded, and the sharp swords on the waists of the eight people were all unsheathed or half-unsheathed, and with a few simple footsteps, a tight battle formation had been formed.
Good fighting qualities are fully revealed.
One of them, probably a leader or something, pressed the hilt of his sword and warned in a cold voice: "Stop!
"Heh~!hehe......"
Ye Guyun, who was walking in the front, walked out of the shadow of the corridor, revealing his complete figure, he didn't move anymore, he really followed the words of the guard, stopped, just clasped his hands, turned his head, chuckled a few times, looked behind him and said: "I didn't expect that there is a place where you two young masters can't go to this Ai Xilun Castle~"
The tone is frivolous and sarcastic, but it is never the words that make people angry, but the facts themselves.
With a blushing face, Lotchi and Frank stepped out of the shadows.
"What if I'm going to go over?"
Roach walked up to the leader, looked him straight in the eye, and threw out a phrase of only a few words very coldly, and his facial muscles seemed to freeze suddenly, tense and motionless, and the words came out of his mouth syllable-by-syllable, sparkling with sticks.
The leader smiled, as if he hadn't been able to comprehend the other meaning in Luo Qi's words, he nodded slightly, and said, "Since it is two young masters, of course it can be passed." β
"Humph!"
With a snort, Roche pushed away everything that stood in front of him, whether it was an arm or a blade, and continued to walk upwards in a huff. Perhaps blinded by anger, he didn't notice the hint of mockery from the corners of the mouth and eyes of the leader who had passed by. Perhaps it was overconfidence, the leader, or the eight guards, also didn't notice the mockery in the eyes of Ye Guyun, who was still behind him with his hands on his chest, that had always existed but never been concealed.
Luo Qi passed, Frank also passed, and Ye Guyun moved his footsteps, and made a slight gesture of wanting to pass, and the eight guards immediately regrouped and blocked the corridor tightly.
"Who's who? Stop! No entry here, quickly retreat!"
The exact same dialogue was repeated.
"Hahahaha~~!" Ye Guyun laughed, he found that this world is actually quite interesting.
"Stoker, don't go too far!" Roche said almost angrily.
"Master Roche, we are just doing our duty. The leader, Stoker, was still smiling, but the smile in Roche's eyes only made him angry.
"When does Ehiron Castle need you to guard it?
"Sorry, it can't be done. Master Gomez is on the lookout, and we are responsible for his safety, although he may not need this protection. However, this is our duty, and we do not allow anything strange and of unknown origin to come near him. After speaking, Stoke turned his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curled, and he glanced at Ye Guyun contemptuously.
The smile on Ye Guyun's face became even brighter.
"First of all, you have to make one thing clear," Roche felt that he could no longer express the anger of renunciation that filled his chest, "this is the castle of Echelon!"
Stoke nodded, very nonchalant in confirmation, "Absolutely." β
"We, the masters of this place, can let anyone go anywhere in the castle if we want. And you, you," Roche's finger swept over the eight guards one by one, "what qualifications do you have to stop the advance of the distinguished guests of Castle Echelon?!"
Stoke was silent, and the rest of the guards tightened their sword hilts in unison, driving their delicate, luxurious, full-body armor that only showed their faces like a tin can, and set off a sound of metal grinding. Then, nothing happened. Their leader smiled again and said, "That's right, that's it. β
Without waiting for the two young masters of the Ehillon family to react, Stoke added: "But I still don't plan to get out of the way, never." β
The pin drop could be heard, and there was such a dead silence in the field.
Ignorance, this is blatant disregard.
Stocke didn't care, he stroked the coat of arms on his chest, and smiled: "No way, who let the dog tags on these dogs be a purple lily?"
"You ......" Roche tried to say something, but was blocked by anger. And thenβ
Disheveled~~~~!
A blazing golden-red flame burst out of the ground, with a low roar, and in the blink of an eye it rose to the height of half a man, like a fence, like a fishing net, like a city wall, surrounding the eight guards. The eight guards did not dare to move, and the high temperature from a few feet away clearly alerted them, and this beating flame contained a terrifying power. Once contaminated, I am afraid that it will not only burn the armor, but also the body, and even, the soul.
"The Firewall? no! No, it's more powerful than a normal Firewall...... It must have been another work by his teacher......" Stoke immediately figured out some details, some details that were worth moving, and he couldn't help but look in a direction beyond the wall of fire.
Standing there was a handsome young man with chestnut straight hair, the second young master of the Ichiron family, a 24-year-old genius mage, Frank.
Of course, the wall of fire was created by Frank casting spells, and it could only be him, and none of the others present had the ability to cast spells.
Like Roche, Frank is in a state of rage at this moment, but his reaction is much more violent than that of his big brother, as he has the ability to show anger, for example, a powerful spell that can fully express his position.
"Get out of here! or annihilation!"
"Master Frank, are you really going to do this?" Stoke asked calmly.
Frank didn't answer, but waved his straight right hand slightly, and the burning wall of fire in the hallway immediately responded for its owner. Without warning, a small beam of flame leaped out of the dancing wall of fire and clung to the nearest guard at breakneck speed. The poor guard panicked and tried to push the flame away, but before he could touch it, the flame exploded first, and in an instant, spread all over the body.
"No!no!ah!ah~~!"
Although the flames did not kiss his skin, but even through the armor, he could clearly feel its continuous burning momentum, if he did not extinguish it in time, his fate would be like many prey he had hunted, he would be roasted through, the guards threw away the sword in their hands in horror, and slapped the flames on their bodies again and again, unfortunately, this action did not make the flames show any signs of weakening.
He began to scream in horror.
Glaring at Frank and sighing, Stoke turned. He stopped a few of his companions from coming to the rescue, then walked over to the flaming guard, stood still, untied an amulet-like object from his waist, placed it in his palm, and began to murmur.
After a few breaths, the talisman in Stoker's palm suddenly shone brightly, and a halo of thick white milk spread outward with the amulet as the center of the circle, and in a short time, it engulfed a wide area with a radius of 15 feet, enveloping everyone in the corridor here.
The two brothers did not react.
Ye Guyun didn't react either.
Eight guards are even less likely to react.
Everyone knew that this halo was not aggressive.
Slowly, the halo dimmed until it faded. The wall of fire was gone, and the flames on the guard who was still burning just now were extinguished.
Stoke turned his head and looked in the direction he had been looking at before, Frank glared back unexpectedly, and at the same time clenched his right fist, and a wave of arcane energy intertwined with thunder and fire burst out from his fingers, and said angrily, "How?"
Stoker was silent again, but instead of showing that disgusting, calm smile again, he beckoned to his companions and said, "Get out of the way." β
Ye Guyun was not polite, let alone had any burden, just so lightly, as if nothing had happened, and walked through this corner step by step.
Looking at the backs of the three, Stoke fell into deep thought. He thought of many things, not the humiliation of being bullied - in fact, this thing was not a failure at all in his opinion, but something else, something else worth pondering.
"What a spell mastery!Only 24 years old?Really 24 years old?Sure enough to live up to the name of genius......
"Hasn't the Ashlen family been following Taoguang's strategy of cultivating obscurity? Those two are able to represent the will of the family, how can they behave so toughly?ah, how long has it been since they have been so tough?......
"Has the attitude really changed, and why has the attitude changed?......
"Who the hell is that person?"
Somehow, Stoker felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to do something about it. Pinching the neckline of the armor, he activated a magic prop attached here, reported to the big man on the lookout platform, and at the same time, led several partners and followed the three of them upward.
