-176- Ruins
Northeast of Castel, to the port of Glis.
As the name suggests, this is the last direct domain of the Lyglis family, the capital of the Viscount of Lyglis, and the northernmost city of the Countdom of Castel.
Of course, it was also the last stronghold of the rebel resistance.
As a border port city, the port of Lyglis has a city defense system comparable to that of the North Port, which caused a lot of trouble for the siege of Castel army.
However, it is only a few troubles.
After the fall of the main force of the Leglis family, it was only a matter of time before this place was breached.
Especially after the arrival of a support fleet led by Viscount Roman-Faure and Count Jurst.
With the formidable Castel fleet and the "extraordinary mercenaries" led by Count Jurster, the city could hardly form any effective resistance.
In just half a day, the port of Laiglis, which had been held out for many days, completely fell.
At the port of Glis, the battleships of Castel had already put away their stone guns and anchored into the harbor.
At the bullet-strewn gates, the mighty Castel army was entering the city in an orderly manner under the command of a noble officer.
The flags belonging to the family of Lyglis on the walls of the city have been pulled down.
In its place, Castel's battle flag.
From this day on, the history of the Lygliss family ruling the city may be coming to an end.
Curiously, however, after entering the port of Lyglis, Castel's army did not find any members of the Lygliss family.
Only the soldiers surrendered, and as for the entire Legliss family, they did not see a single one, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.
"Haven't you found anyone yet?"
Coming to the lord's castle in Port Glis, the fire elf Sebas looked at the soldiers coming and going, frowning slightly.
The soldier shook his head:
"No, Lord Sebas, there is not a single person in the castle, not even the waiters and maids."
"What do the surrounding residents say?"
The soldier hesitated, then replied:
"Lord Sebas, the surrounding residents said that they could still see people entering and leaving the castle yesterday, and it seems that last night they saw the Lyglis family gather all the nobles, and many people thought that the Lyglis family would use the castle as a base to make a final resistance......"
Sebass squinted his eyes suddenly:
"But there was no one in the castle ......"
"It's funny, the whole family, plus so many nobles, can they disappear into the castle out of thin air?"
After a moment of silence, he said:
"The people who come to the Gliss family don't disappear out of thin air, they must be hiding somewhere, or rather...... Somehow evacuated. ”
"Find, keep looking, dig three feet into the ground and look for it! Let's see if there's a teleportation circle hidden in the castle, or a secret passage. ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers respectfully responded and then prepared to continue their operations.
"Wait a minute!"
As if remembering something, Sebas suddenly stopped them:
"Look for it and see if you can find some special markers......
"Exceptional...... Mark? ”
The soldiers were stunned.
Sebas nodded:
"Yes, special markings, like roses, or cat's paws."
"Anyway...... If you see any suspicious signs, come back and report them to me. ”
With Sebas's order, the soldiers moved and continued to search the lord's castle.
And soon, there was a real discovery.
"Lord Sebas! We found the marker you mentioned in the castle's storage room! ”
A soldier ran over excitedly, panting.
"Oh? Is there really a mark? What is it?"
Sebas was a little surprised.
"Yes...... Roseflowers, with the mark of a rose flower entwined with thorny vines! ”
The soldier replied respectfully.
"Thorn Rose?"
Sebas was stunned for a moment, then sneered:
"I really didn't expect that guy to start slapping his master's ass."
"Let's go, take me to see it."
……
Led by the soldiers, Sebas soon made his way to the castle's storage room.
At a glance, he saw the carved picture of the thorn rose on the wall of the storage room, the eucalyptus was not very standard, as if it had been scratched by some kind of claw, and it was a miracle that the soldiers could still recognize it.
Almost instantly, Sebas knew that it was definitely the work of the black cat Nice.
"It seems that that guy is still safe, and he should have been taken away by the Gliss family."
Sebas groaned.
He looked closely at the picture on the wall for a moment, then his eyes flashed slightly.
I saw that he suddenly pulled out his long sword from the scabbard of a soldier on the side, and slammed his magic power towards the wall.
The power far beyond the ordinary silver moon exploded in an instant, and the entire wall shattered suddenly, revealing a swarthy passage.
"Secret way! It's a dark way! ”
The surrounding soldiers exclaimed.
"You stay here, I'll go in and have a look."
Sebas's eyes twinkled, and he ordered.
With that, he picked up his sword and fled into the darkness.
……
This is a typical underground tunnel in a noble castle.
However, after Sebas entered, he soon discovered that the tunnel was not as simple as it seemed.
Upon going deeper, he discovered that the underground tunnel was connected to more tunnels, crisscrossing beneath the surface, like a vast network of dungeons.
These secret passages are all made of bricks and stones, but they look very old, even with Sebas's hundreds of years of experience, it is impossible to judge the specific age of these secret passages for a while.
After entering the dark passage, Sebas found the thorn rose mark left in the corner one after another, each of which was there, guiding him to go deeper.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally came to an open underground space, and what greeted his eyes was a magnificent underground palace.
No, maybe you can't simply call it a palace.
Looking at the vicissitudes of life, depicting the religious murals depicting towers and war scenes, and looking at the dilapidated statue of the god Mohu that was enshrined in front of the palace, Sebas's heart moved slightly:
"Here it is...... An underground temple? ”
Taking a deep breath, Sebas searched for the emblem in the temple, wanting to see which god the temple belonged to for an unknown number of years.
However, what surprised him a little was that all the places where the emblem should have been there had been artificially erased.
However, in the process of searching for the emblem, he found the mark of the Thorn Rose again.
He quietly followed the mark, deeper into the temple, and finally came to an ancient stone door.
It was a huge stone gate, at least twenty meters high.
The stone gate is depicted with an unclear picture of the lake, and around the picture, there are grooves.
In the groove, there was a thick smell of blood, and Sebas glanced at it, and soon saw some residual blood.
In the middle of the gate, you can also see a sign of the devil's eye, which is obviously newly engraved, and it can be vaguely seen that before that sign, in fact, there were other signs carved on the gate.
"It's ......"
Sebas's gaze was slightly condensed.
"This is the mark of the Grand Duke of Bloodseeker......"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that there was still an ancient temple in the Northland, no wonder the group of madmen of the Blood Demon Sect wanted to make some small moves here."
】
A lazy voice came from behind him, and Sebas was instantly alert.
He almost subconsciously drew his weapon, and then saw a handsome young man dressed in black appear behind him.
"Bloodline?"
Looking at the other party's scarlet eyes, Sebas raised an eyebrow.
The handsome young man smiled slightly and looked Sebas up and down:
"Red-haired, tuxedo, you're Earl Castel's butler, Lord Sebas, aren't you?"
"First meeting, Lord Sebas, you can call me Jurst."
