Chapter 121: Volcano Manor
The ball was not affected by this episode, the crowd continued to party, this kind of upper-class duel has been ignored by everyone, even in the technologically advanced upper city, which is also part of the ancient human tradition, women fight for men, men fight for women, it's fashionable, isn't it?
However, this duel was already rumored before the end of the ball, after all, it was the gossip of the top giants, and it was even more exciting than the nude images of Lofe once floating in the streets. The bored aristocrats were like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were very excited.
The duel will be held in five days, and the location is the big bend square under their feet now, there is no way, the itinerary of Major Marshal Zhang Yaxuan has been fully arranged, and the time schedule for going to the city this time is calculated in minutes. But so far, the most eye-catching part of his trip has been the duel, which even surpassed the first goal of his trip - the conclusion ceremony.
For this duel, hundreds of large and small gambling games have been quickly betted, and it is almost time to issue tickets. However, everyone is not optimistic about the little-known little officer of the Tolan family, although he said the voice of most of the men in Shangcheng, and also earned some face for those men who were full of jealousy of Zhang Yaxuan, but everyone was still sensible, and the young marshal in Asia, who was famous for his strong combat power, would never lose to an inferior officer, so the odds of the gambling game reached an exaggerated 1:100.
In the early hours of the morning, Leon and his group of eight people were taken away from the Big Bend Square by Mullen, and the black forehead disappeared from everyone's sight at some point, and Mullen didn't even ask where he was.
They were greeted by a strange car, although it was made of black iron, it had intricate patterns and carvings, and there were slender huge wheels on both sides, and the door was imprinted with the emblem of a long knife and a mourning gun, delicate and domineering, and the most amazing thing was that there were four strange animals in front of them.
Several people sat in the carriage with apprehension in their hearts, and Locke Dorjee smiled and said:
"This is the carriage, I've only heard of it"
"There are so many energy cars and flying machines, why do you need such an ancient vehicle?" Leon asked curiously, according to the information shown to him by the brain, this thing existed at least 700 years ago.
"The particularity of the Upper City lies in its historical value, it retains all the traces of human culture and history from ancient times to the present day, and the nobles of the Upper City are also proud of it, this is what makes them different from other private reserved areas, retro is the most fashionable atmosphere, just like those buildings" Locke Dorjee pointed to the street outside, "what is the cultural heritage, this is called cultural heritage"
Oolong and Fei Jiama both looked at Lockdorjee with respect, the nominal head of the boulder, for the first time, it seemed so deep.
"Just like those two lace little nenes in your arms, it's also one of the historical cultures of the nobility, right?" Medusa pursed her lips disdainfully,
"Don't say it, this is the aristocratic tradition, but it wasn't Xiao Nene who was given before, but Mimi Cover......" Locke Dorjee said with a heartbeat, and then Medusa knocked his skull on the head, shattering his deep moments before.
The carriage drove smoothly without a trace of bumps, no matter how old it looked, the bottom of the car still had a power plant, otherwise the four high-headed horses who were pretending to be would not be able to pull the cart made of black Yao Iron no matter what.
On the deserted street, the pedestrian tracks have been restored to the normal four, silently rolling on both sides of the street, and the middle of the road is paved with polished and shiny ancient bluestone, everything is very much like medieval Europe. The street lights on the side of the street have been extinguished, and a faint fuchsia light is gradually brightening in the distance, and the simulated sky light of the upper city is bright.
When the carriage stopped, behind the mountain peak in the distance, half a dazzling sphere had already appeared, and several mercenaries were stimulated by the dazzling light and trembled slightly, is this the sun?
"Hey, stay calm, you're going in" Locke Dorjee quietly roared in everyone's minds, if he showed a foolish expression at this time, staring at the artificial sun, it would be in vain.
In front of them was a hollowed-out metal door with the same delicate insignia of swords and guns. Through the iron gate, you can see the tall trees inside, and a curvy path disappears into the lush distance. Ma Lun, who acted as a coachman, jumped out of the carriage in a dashing manner, and led a group of people into the slowly opening gate with a blank expression.
This is the home of the famous Tolan family in Uptown, Volcano Manor.
They turned a corner, and a gray stone castle appeared in front of them, and the tall trees around the castle blocked most of the sunlight, so the inside of the manor looked a little dark and damp at the moment, and the huge castle with five stories high only exposed four groups of minarets, and the rest was hidden in the shadow of the trees.
"Little Pudding lives here?" Leon asked abruptly, he wanted to break this depression, but Mullen had been expressionless, which made him feel a little confused,
"No, Lord Sting lives somewhere else, with his grandfather," Malen replied meticulously, but it was impossible to continue.
"Is this to take us to Marshal Tolan?" asked Lockdorge, plucking up courage,
"No, you can go and rest, only this ......" Mullen turned to look at Ang, obviously he didn't know the names of these people,
"Hyde, Mr. Hyde," Locke Dorge replied with a smile on his face,
"Mr. Hyde has been summoned by the marshal," said Mullen, and walked forward on his own,
"What the hell is this bullshit name!" Leon hit Lockdorge with a brain wave,
"You'll understand later" Young Master Luo Luo's evil eyes made Leon feel deeply uneasy, what is this kid thinking?
An hour later.
Leon had been wandering around for a long time in a strangely decorated house, and Maren had disappeared since he had been brought here. Fortunately, there are many places to see in this room, and there are not many people who can make Leon wait patiently for so long.
The four walls of the house are made of bluestone, which is not smooth, and it looks very old. The five-meter-high roof was covered with cloth of different colors, swords and guns of various shapes everywhere, and a large map on a wall, Leon was not very interested in this, the map in his brain was much more detailed than this, and he didn't bother to study the colored arrows and circles on it, but the wall with the slender window made him very interested, and the gaps in the windows were full of strings of animal specimens, those creatures were all Leon had never seen, and there were traces of antiquity everywhere, in fact, he had not seen it, but the animals he saw in the underwater pyramid had been magnified countless times, and he could no longer recognize the original size specimens at the momentγ
In one corner of the room was a simple and clumsy oak table, the side carvings had been blurred, and there were some strange little decorations on it, the most striking were several metal statues, and there were name tags engraved underneath, Leon didn't know those words, and then he was bored and looked through the dictionary in his brain, and then he knew that it was the portrait of the marshals of the Tolan family, not many, only four, and Volcano Tolan was the only woman.
At this moment, Leon was sitting behind the table, playfully pinching the figurine of Volcano Tolan, fiddling with it, and finding that the base was uneven, with delicate patterns and words, it turned out to be an ancient seal. Leon couldn't help but press it on the back of his hand, feeling that the small print should be Volcano Tolan's real name.
Her name is Sophia Tolan?
Sophia Leon pondered in her mind, the name sounded familiar. But how is that possible? he rubbed his nose and wondered.
"What are you looking at?" a soft, deep voice sounded, and Leon looked up and saw Marshal Tolan in civilian clothes, but at this moment, she was like a kind old woman, but her eyes were too bright, and there was a little less kindness of a confused old lady.
"Looking at your avatar...... When you are young, you should be a big beauty, really not like a marshal" Leon said bluntly, and Tolan shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, looked around and said:
"Here are the footprints of my life, those colorful things are the enemy's military flags, and the map shows the land that my soldiers have trodden" Saying this, the old lady's momentum soared, as if the blue civilian clothes had become a straight military uniform.
Leon looked at her with a dazed look in his eyes, it felt too familiar, too familiar to be real.
"What are you thinking?" Tolan's eyes changed, and his face was full of peace,
"I'm wondering when I'll go to bed," Leon replied honestly, but in exchange for an old lady's laughter,
"I'm afraid you're trying to make me happy and let you little ghosts complete the task smoothly, right?" she said unceremoniously, but her face was still peaceful,
"Well, I thought about it before, but now I just want to sleep" Leon listlessly put the statue back in its place, he had already guessed that this shrewd old lady was definitely not easy to fool, at this time he was a little frustrated by being caught by the tail,
"It's only when you're sleepy, my old woman can talk to you about something," Tolan muttered to herself, sitting on a soft sofa next to her, and lamenting: "I'm old, I can't compare to you little guys, and I'm very tired when I stay up late."
Leon looked at the marshal strangely, and he suddenly realized that the position in which he was sitting now made him more like the owner of this room,
"What are you talking about?" he touched his nose and asked,
"What can you talk about with the mercenaries? of course it's about deals!" the old lady still smiled, but Leon immediately smiled brighter than she did.
"Well said, well said"

PS: When I went out today, I was entangled by a cat, who knows what the sign is? Or is it just stupid by the sound of cannons?
