Located at the very edge of Winrington, at the junction of the western and southern suburbs, Fog Castle is still nominally part of the Southern Suburbs Castle District. And all the ancient buildings in the entire castle area may be more famous than the Fog Hidden Castle.

The current owners of Fog Castle are the Jacobs family, one of the four nobles of the empire.

The four major families of the empire have the most historical and bloodline qualifications are the southern families, but they are born by blood and defeated by blood, so although they are real aristocratic families, they can only become business families in the end, and they are the only families that have nothing to do with politics.

The Jacobs are the most politically influential of the four. Their patriarch, Duke Alec Jacobs, was an auxiliary minister of the Empire. The eldest son, Marquis Lentino Jacobs, was the Reich's Minister of Justice and Justice, and the second son, Jacob, was given an earldom and a vacancy as the head of the Wimilington Sheriff's Office. The three daughters were married to three important figures of the empire and in this situation branched out, forming a vast network of bureaucracy.

The Castle was bought by His Excellency the Grand Duke thirty years ago. At that time, he may have also had the idea and intention to uncover Electra's secret laboratory, but thirty years was enough time for all ambitions to be consumed.

To Xiuyi's surprise, what really prompted the Grand Duke to make up his mind to sell the property was none other than Xiuyi himself.

The reason is very simple, and the emergence and counterattack of Xiu Yi is the Imperial Justice and Political Office that is most affected. Raschel's rise to the top of the rat hunt was not only due to the support of Chakra and Padgett, but most importantly because of the trust placed in him by the Marquis of Lentino Jacobs. When he was punished for being convicted of high-ranking crimes, it was Lentino Jacobs who kept him and sent him to Shenzhen and Hong Kong to be a sheriff.

But now Raschel has not been able to produce results.

Huey's counterattack was fierce and ferocious, and before Raschel could capture him, Marquis Lentino Jacobs had been scolded countless times by Emperor Stricker VI. However, Count Lentino Jacobs always trusted Raschel, believing that if Raschel could not catch Huey, then probably no one would be able to catch Huey.

After all, Xiu Yi is indeed not an ordinary criminal, he has teleportation array technology and can come and go at will, and his experience on Purgatory Island also fully illustrates this person's cunning methods. It is for this reason that even the emperor did not immediately dismiss others because of this.

But for the Jacobs family, the appearance of Huey Glare still seriously affected the status of the marquis, and if it continues like this, it is normal for the marquis to lose his official position.

The Grand Duke thought that the Castle of the Fog was an ominous thing.

He had invested too much in the castle, many alchemists had died, and he had lost countless amounts of money, and the boy who had shaken his eldest son's position was also an excellent alchemist. When people become superstitious, everything can be connected. As a result, the Castle of Fog Hidden became a burden to the Grand Duke's heart, as ominous as Hue Igler. The Grand Duke hopes that he will never have anything to do with alchemy again in this life, and for him, keeping the family's glory and power is the most important thing, so he can't wait to sell this castle.

But he never expected that the one he hated, Huy Glare, would be the buyer of his castle.

That's how the world makes people.

The Hidden Moon Peak is a branch vein at the very edge of the Lilgula Mountain.

The massive Lilegula Hill runs through almost the entire Great 6 and becomes a natural barrier for the Reims Empire. Hidden Moon Peak is a small tentacle that stretches out to the Empire, which can be regarded as a small territorial claim to protect half of the Lance Empire.

This originally low and ordinary hill is one of the most famous places of interest in the empire because of the castle located at the foot of the peak.

No one knows why the mountain is so foggy all year round, but even from miles away, you can clearly see the hazy fog.

Occasionally, thunder would fall from the sky, illuminating the fog and revealing the outline of the castle.

Tall and majestic.

The fog is not very thick, and it only appears on the outside, and the view is good when you walk near the castle.

To Xiu's surprise, the Fog Castle in front of him was almost indistinguishable from his own castle on Purgatory Island in terms of scale and style.

The same is the central tower, which is next to the annex tower. The castle is made of huge stones, and there are even guards guarding the sentry road, but there is no moat, but there is a large iron gate.

On both sides of the large iron gate, Xiu Yi saw two imposing stone statues of the four-winged beast, the carving was exquisite, and even the roots and tendrils were incomparably clear, and the proportions were completely according to the size of the entity.

"Both statues, like the castle, were left over hundreds of years ago. They are all relics of Electra. Successive owners of the castle have cherished this place, and they have kept it as intact as possible for everything that may have been used by the legendary Great Alchemist. Of course, there are a few castle owners who don't know each other and have tried to relocate the two stone statues, but the result is ......"

It was a butler of the Jacobs family who spoke.

When they learned that someone wanted to buy the castle, the Jacobs family immediately sent a well-spoken guide.

Unlike selling properties elsewhere, everyone who tries to buy Fog Castle is not looking at the house itself, but its former owner. Therefore, the people of the castle do not have to go to great lengths to introduce its benefits, but should take the initiative to remind the other party of the matters that should be paid attention to.

"How's it going?" asked Xiuyi.

"The man who tried to move the statue was killed by a sudden lightning bolt. The butler replied, "Although this is a place where alchemists are afraid, ordinary people should also be cautious. "The housekeeper didn't know what family the Dardanelles were (bsp; Оm) But the boy who can keep Lady Christine by his side and the bird leans on like a human is always worth paying attention to. He had already decided to inform the patriarch of the situation as soon as he returned.

"What else should I pay attention to?" Huey continued.

"Not much, actually. The butler smiled and said, "Just buy this castle and remember a few things." First of all, don't take the architectural pattern here lightly. It's no wonder that the castle has survived hundreds of years without the slightest sign of damage. It's sturdy, it just needs to be cleaned and nothing else to worry about. ”

"That's because there's a circle here that sustains it all. Xiu Yi said lightly.

"It turns out that you are also an alchemist, yes, some alchemists have said this before. The butler sighed in his heart, "But no one knows how this circle works. ”

"Let's talk about other things to keep in mind. ”

"Since you're also an alchemist, that's a lot easier to say. Come with me, and I'll take you to the main hall first. ”

The butler led the way into the castle, with Huey and Christine Lilith following behind, followed by Buckler and Iger.

Interestingly, when Christine and Lilith enter side by side, Christine deliberately or unintentionally drags back a bit, allowing Lilith to get closer to Huey, which makes Lilith feel much better.

Christine knows very well that as an emotional winner, she should try not to appear arrogant and domineering, on the contrary, some modest concessions can avoid unnecessary hostility. Lilith was still young, and she might be able to beat Christine to death with one hand, but Christine had too many ways to keep her from attacking herself.

On the contrary, you can be good sisters.

** - Walking through the gate of the castle, Xiu Yi felt like he had returned to the island of Purgatory.

The layout of the entire castle interior is almost identical to that of Purgatory Island.

Led by the butler, they soon came to the main hall, and the butler began to introduce the layout of the place and everything around it, but Xiu Yi was completely clear.

The main hall is large, and six large stone pillars support the entire tower, supporting a vast space. But the main hall was empty, and there was nothing.

Huey stood in one of these positions, but the image of Avril came to mind.

This shadow had been suppressed by him for so long that at this moment, he finally couldn't help but jump out.

I remember that when we first met, Avril sat where she was standing at the moment, complaining loudly about her servants. And at that time, he was standing where the butler was standing at the moment. It was that day that he skillfully moved Avril to let her go to the jungle with him, it was that day that he mastered the mystery of the puppet so that he could apprentice Neil later, and it was on that day that she gradually changed from being so arrogant and became dependent and trusting of herself.

Yes, it was this position at his feet.

Xiu Yi didn't expect that the castle on Purgatory Island had been destroyed, and there would be a castle with the same pattern as Purgatory Island here.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it something else?

Hines has been here!

Huey found out almost immediately.

Why didn't he die? Did he walk out of the castle and let the Empire rebuild the Purgatory Island Castle in this pattern?

He turned to the butler and asked, "Is there anything else to pay attention to here?"

The butler had already seen that the young man in front of him was everyone's head, so he replied respectfully: "That tower in the castle can only go up to three floors." ”

Can only go up to the third floor? Xiu Yi said: "Let's go to the tower and have a look." ”

He walked away.

There are four doors in the main hall, each leading in different directions, and it is the tower that Xiu Yi is heading to. The butler pouted slightly: "Young Master Dardanelle, have you been here?"

Xiu Yi stopped, he looked back at the butler, and a smile appeared on his face, "No, I haven't been here, but I guess it's here." ”

"I see. The butler laughed, "Then you guessed right, please come with me." ”

Even though Huey denied that he had been to the castle, doubts rose in the butler's mind. The castle is a big one, and no one can find their way quickly unless you're familiar with it.

Most of the people who are housekeepers for the big family are exquisite, and if they don't have a little ability to look at their faces, they can't do this at all. The unintentional revelation of Xiu Yi made the butler puzzled, but he didn't say anything, just did his duty with all his heart.

"Is this forbidden land?" asked Xiui.

Standing on the third floor of the tower, looking at the staircase that led to the fourth floor, Xiu Yi felt ominous in his heart.

The interior of this tower is almost identical to that of Purgatory Island, but the staircase leading to the fourth floor changes completely.

The staircase leading to the fourth floor is made of a black inky stone with a pitch-black glow. There was a door in the staircase blocking everyone's way. This does not exist on Purgatory Island.

I don't know what the door is made of, and it glows strangely, and Xiu Yi can easily feel the aura of magic left on it. In fact, you don't have to feel it to see a huge six-pointed star array carved on that door.

This was the largest six-pointed star array Xiu Yi had ever seen, covering almost the entire door, and the six points of light flickered with strange light, but did not give Xiu Yi the slightest sense of danger.

"It's also the real reason why Fog Hidden Castle is the Castle of Death. The butler replied earnestly: "People who have not been to this castle think that the secret of Electra needs to be found." Actually, you don't have to look for it at all. As long as you don't try to enter this door and don't move the main layout here, no one will be in danger. ”

"So most of the people who died were on the fourth floor?"

"Yes. The butler replied, "The door can be opened, as long as you know a little about alchemy." But once you're in, don't think about coming out. ”

Christine and Lilith nervously grabbed Huey's hand at the same time, they knew Huey all too well, and his fanaticism for alchemy made him desperate to find out the secrets inside.

Xiu Yi stared at the door and didn't say a word.

The butler sighed, but he didn't say anything to advise Xiui not to go. It can be seen that this is also a buyer who came secretly for Electra. If you advise him to give up exploring the secrets of the tower, then you are advising him not to buy the castle. But the duty lies in his can't tell the truth.

After looking at it for a while, Xiu Yi finally said, "I will buy this castle, but I promise I will not easily enter behind this door." ”

Christine immediately said, "What do you mean by not being easy to enter? Don't try to fool us with such vague words." ”

"Unless I'm absolutely sure or until I pay off the debt I owe you. ”

"There are some debts that you will never be able to pay off...... Siseda Daniel!" Christine, in her excitement, almost called out the word Huey.

She angrily turned away.

If she could, she wished that Huey would never enter this door, but she knew it was impossible.

Watching Christine leave, Huey chewed on what she had just said, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes, there are debts that he will never be able to pay off.

Looking at Lilith's wistful eyes, he stroked her face: "Believe me, I'm not sure, I'll never take it lightly." ”

Lilith nodded.

Xiu Yi then asked the butler, "How much?"

"Ten thousand gold, you know, that's far from the true value of this castle. ”

"When can I get it?"

"If you want it now, the people here have all emptied it half a year ago, and everything has been moved away, and what is left is immovable. You just have to clean it and you're good to go. ”

"Then sign the agreement. ”
