The next day, the procession continued its journey, gradually deviating from the main road and heading off the beaten track, but there was a checkpoint at short intervals along the way, in which the Grand Duke's men were responsible for answering and reporting the alert, and it was evident that Philip III took this very seriously, and had strictly controlled the surrounding area, and would not allow anyone to cause trouble.

At the same time, Carnegie, as Barloggo said, was very peaceful on the road, barely even said much, the other party did not ask for his own trouble, and Ed was happy to worry, chatting with the magician Raphael, and greatly gaining knowledge.

"Attention, everyone, we are at our destination, where we will take a little rest and everyone will check their condition one last time!" Barlogo's voice rang out, and Ed could already see a magnificent man-made structure in the distance, which was very striking in the wilderness of the barren forest.

Looking closer, it seems that the upper part of a certain tower is slightly tilted into the ground, and more parts are buried by the earth, from the painting that Raphael showed him, Ed thought that the Throne of the Giants should be a very empty place, but he didn't expect that only so few parts were exposed.

"It's a former watchtower or something, and we'll hang down from there, and when you get down there, you'll know how big it's inside!" Raphael explained.

A large number of people have already gathered around the ruins to prepare for their arrival, these people have been stationed here all the year round, and a row of small houses have been built not far away, and the reason why they did not choose to be directly above the ruins may be for fear of collapse, if it is really like Raphael said, then this artificial structure must have suffered a catastrophe like a great earthquake to sink into the ground.

Eddard had nothing to prepare, so he washed up and examined the two weapons before wandering around the camp with Chesterton. Barlogo handed over to the local chief and listened to the latest information. Seeing Ed approaching, he nodded, and the ten bronze knights over there each received a backpack full of items needed for the expedition from their entourage. There are tools such as ropes, shovels, and knives inside.

The whole camp was busy, but the people were doing their jobs in order, and Ed nodded as he watched, the better prepared they were, the more worry-free they became.

Barlogo walked up to the young man, pointed to a group of ordinary soldiers, and said, "Look! their hundred men will go down before us and clear the perimeter. Our knight-level combat power is responsible for exploring the most core area, and we will set off later, Eddard can ask any questions you have now. ”

For the sake of prudence, he didn't reveal much information before, and now that the last step will not go wrong again, he will let go.

"Did you really find the third layer, what kind of danger will there be inside?" Ed has been told that it is just a formality, and he doesn't need to make a move, but only by asking clearly can he have the bottom of his heart.

"It can't be considered the third layer, it should still belong to the second layer. It's just that it's close to the core, and it's been blocked before, so maybe we can really find a way down through there, but that's not our job. It's okay if it's dangerous, traps and the like have been emptied a long time ago, and you can see that ordinary soldiers like them can enter!"

"But it's not really that simple!" Ed didn't believe it. Otherwise, why send out an all-knight squad.

Seeing that he couldn't get past it, Barlogo told the truth. "When I first started excavating, I encountered some tricky enemies, like golems and the like. But maybe we won't encounter it this time.,Even if we really run into us, just leave.,Don't fight hard.,After all, the main task this time is to collect useful information.,Bring a knight-level one just in case.。 ”

"Golem?" Ed asked, but the other party refused to reveal anything more and walked away to command the staff.

This seems to make sense, in the Throne of the Giants there are also samples of information about the Golem, a huge war weapon, the Grand Duke of Burgundy and the original King Roland coveted these valuable technical information, and did not hesitate to turn their faces, after all, simple treasures are not as helpful as useful technology to help a country, unless it is really an anti-heaven level artifact.

Ed roughly guessed the other party's intentions, but then his heart tightened, why did he name himself to participate in such an important mission?

Thinking so, he called for Chesterton to whisper a few words, and then the big man walked among the people who were preparing, took a large backpack from the hand of a local stationer, and said loudly, "We are still empty-handed, bring another one, so that we can help you share the burden!"

Originally, Barlogo did not inform Ed that they also prepared backpacks, but the personnel who were distributed by the loser dared to disobey, and after a while, Chesterton brutally got two copies, and Ed opened it and looked at it, in addition to the convenient tools, there were emergency bags inside, full of supplies and medicines that might be useful.

Although it was said that the expedition would take less than a day, the preparations were extremely sufficient, and Ed appreciated this precautionary approach, not to mention carrying the backpack behind him, and Chesterton did the same, although he didn't think it would really be used.

On the other side, Raphael came over, and when he saw the two of them like this, he thought about it and asked for a backpack, and the three of them were like heavy mules, with their backs high on their backs, and walked to the end of the line.

The first team of ordinary warriors who were in charge of cleaning the perimeter had been down for a while, and the real core of the knights, led by Barlogo, had also walked to the entrance.

Seeing the extra backpack behind the three of them, Barlogos frowned, but didn't say anything, commanding the bronze knights to enter one after another, followed by Eric and the heir of the Grand Duke protected by Olaf, after making a gesture of invitation to Ed and the others, he himself was behind, and the group officially stepped into the ruins.

Fastening a rope firmly around his waist, Eddard slowly lowered the vertical entrance following the movements of the people in front of him, and with the help of the glowing stones installed by the surrounding Burgundians as he descended, the boy found that the four walls were not very spacious, like a clock tower, and at most the four-armed golems of the Wolf's Tooth Castle could go straight up and down.

"Maybe those are the spoils that the Burgundians took from here. ”

The rappelling process was not long, and soon Ed landed on both feet, and the person in charge next to him stepped forward to untie the safety rope for him, and pulled hard, signaling to the person above, Raphael should be next, and Chesterton, who had come down one step earlier, had already looked around, and then walked in front of the master and whispered: "This place is strange everywhere, it's really uncomfortable."
