"I think it's just average, no matter how steep the terrain is, someone has to defend it, like the Burgundian knight I met before is not worthy of this castle. Chesterton was blunt, and said as soon as he thought of it, not caring at all about the faces of the Burgundians around him.

Seeing that Ed was also smiling and silent, Barlogo didn't say much, smiled at him mysteriously, and continued to lead the way, making the young man feel a little puzzled, judging from his previous performance, the other party is not so easy to soften! Besides, his own strength is not weak, if he replies that he is guarding the city gate, he can choke Chesterton's questioning words.

Came to a post station at the foot of the mountain, all ordinary people, including officials, were left behind, and were not allowed to enter the fortress, the wolf's tooth fort seemed to have special personnel to serve the Grand Duke's family, and usually did not allow people below the knight to enter, Ed nodded secretly, which also reduced the danger of the fortress being breached from the inside, I am afraid that the servants in those castles rarely come down from above for several years.

There were only three people left on the way up the mountain, and Ed took the opportunity to chat with Barloggo for a while, and the result surprised him, sure enough, since the last three generations of the Grand Duke built this fort, it was stipulated that ordinary people inside were only allowed to go down the mountain once in their lives, and they were not allowed to return after leaving, and the upper and lower were separated into two worlds with strict regulations, and many people died in the castle all their lives without seeing the scenery outside.

"The fort also has a huge reserve of food, enough to feed everyone for more than a hundred years, and if the enemy wants to force us to surrender by besieging the city, he must first ask himself if he can live to the day of victory, haha!" said Barlogo, laughing, it is no secret, whenever outsiders come to visit, they are told so, they hope that all potential enemies will retreat and not attack their ideas.

The narrow, winding mountain passage allowed only a maximum of four knights to march side by side, which also prevented the use of many large siege engines. The three of Ed used their psionic energy to move the horses forward with ease, and occasionally the boy would stop to look at the sea of clouds beyond the cliff not far away.

"No one has yet been able to go down to the deepest depths to see how deep this bottom is, and some even say that it leads to the demonic abyss, but who knows? that thing hasn't been seen in more than a century!" Barlogo dutifully played the role of tour guide, "Let's go, there is a better view up there that may surprise you!" he urged.

Turning around a dozen zigzag turns. Walking to the gate of the castle, Ed had to admire again, and when he looked at the castle that didn't look very conspicuous in the distance, he found that it was so huge, and the majestic city wall was made of giant stones that were connected into one, and it took a lot of labor to artificially make it into its current appearance.

The most conspicuous thing is not the castle itself, two tall guards stand on the left and right of the gate, like a majestic door god, and when he walks close, even Chesterton, who is definitely not low in height, looks like a child, and Ed secretly estimates that it is about 3.5 meters in his heart. The surface is covered with a dark green hard shell, each of the four arms holds a huge double-edged sword, and lifeless eyes condescendingly watch the guests who come up from the mountain road and enter the castle, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Is this?" Ed would never have thought of this thing as a simple sculpture, not to mention its apparently militarized form, and a mere engraving scan revealed a subtle energy response within it.

"Haha! Knight Ed is really knowledgeable!" Seeing that Ed was attracted to his gaze and stopped, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ballogo's eyes. Unfortunately, an opportunity to test the opponent's strength was unsuccessful, and he took two steps forward and came to a stop directly in front of the two statues.

"Dove of Peace!" he said with a calm face. Ed sensed a wave of psionic energy emanating from him, and the implied hostility of the two guards vanished, as if some sort of alert had calmed down.

Without waiting for the two guests to ask, Barlogo turned to the statue and introduced, "Gentlemen, in front of you is the guardian of the Ivory, the nemesis of the psionics. Golems, a powerful existence that combines the strange technology of the ancient alien race, cannot be taken lightly by any enemy!"

"Golem...... "The faint psionic energy emitted by Eddard was quickly dispelled strangely near the guardian, as if it had a special structure on its surface that repelled foreign psionic energy, just from this point of view. There is some truth to calling it a psionic nemesis, but I don't know what its upper limit is.

"Why didn't I see how powerful this guy is, it's just two big guys who can't move, can they compare to our psionic knights?" said Chesterton in disbelief, he had always believed that the strongest warriors who had been sublimated in war.

Seeing that some people did not believe him, Barlogo tried to refute it, as if he was very proud of the golem and tried to prove it in front of others.

At this moment, the gates of the castle suddenly and slowly opened, and as early as they came up, the guards on the city walls had already spotted them and informed the lord, and the inside was already busy as they spoke.

"Haha, Mr. Barlogo doesn't have to be like this, there will be a chance for our guests to see your masterpiece in the future, and now, let us prepare for them the grandest welcome ceremony!" A loud voice overwhelmed the noise of metal friction as the gate was slowly pulled, and the named leader hurriedly stepped aside and invited the main one.

When the gate was almost completely opened, and the drifting smoke and dust gradually fell, Ed finally met the famous Archduke Philip III of Burgundy, "It is my honor to meet you, Roland's envoy Eddard hereby offers the greatest respect to you!" After a knightly salute, Ed looked up and saw the face of the person opposite.

Unexpectedly, Philip III, who had a huge voice, was a small man who had nothing to do with being tall and majestic, and his well-tailored clothes made him look extraordinary, and his two black beards adorned his lips with a literary atmosphere, and his small but bright eyes shrewd.

He strode up to Eddard, took his arm affectionately, and even walked parallel to the castle with the young man, without the posture of a superior at all, "It is my honor to appear as a knight of Eddard, at such a young age, he has made rare achievements in battle, and saved his country in one fell swoop, I often ask why the gods did not give us the first such hero in Burgundy, which will be the greatest reward for our devout service!"

Adellio felt flattered, compared to the Roland King Charles, who was always pretentious and showed a trace of disdain for others in his bones, the owner of the Grand Duchy in front of him was so amiable, a few words made his stranger with a faint hostility like a spring breeze, so aware of it At the same time, the vigilance in his heart deepened, this person is by no means an idle person, as an enemy must be very difficult!
