Chapter 651 (1/2)

Qin Lun carefully looked at the horned Eagle under him. The feather of this large flying bird is dark green. There are two forked grey sheep horns on its head, with sharp beaks and sharp claws. Adult horned eagles have a wingspan of up to five meters, a wide back, and can seat saddles for up to two people.

The horned eagle is called the air carriage. It is strong and strong enough to carry all kinds of goods and passengers. Some races will also train them to be combat air riders, slightly less powerful than Griffins.

These specially trained horned eagles are smart enough to fly back and forth on their own. Their saddles are tied with strong leather cables, which can completely fix the riders. As long as there is no acrophobia, any adventurer can ride the horned eagle.

Because Qin Lun and his party were in a hurry, they did not take the way of two people riding together, but one person and one horned eagle, trying to get to the candlestick castle as soon as possible.

Qin Lun looked down from the air, only to see that most of the creatures on the ground are only the size of ants. The river is like a crystal water line, shining silver in the sun. With the wind blowing, I felt refreshed for a while.

It's a pity that the trip ended in just over three hours, and soon there was a blue sky on the horizon. It was the color of the sea, and they finally returned to the sword Bay coast.

”Islands?” With the horned Eagles close to the coastline, more than 30 islands of different shapes appear on the sea.

Most of these islands are steep cliffs, covered with dense vegetation and trees. There are dark and ferocious reefs under the cliff, and dark red coral clumps can be seen underwater.

I'm afraid it's not accessible to fishing boats, because there's no place to stop and land. The reef is not distributed regularly enough for any adventurous boat to sink and feed fish. Only flying mounts can land on these cliff islands.

The island closest to the mainland coast is the largest of them. Although it is surrounded by steep cliffs, the top of the cliff is very flat. There is a huge hexagonal Fort standing on it, which should be the famous Candlestick fort.

In fact, in addition to the islands where Candlestick castle stands, there are many similar lighthouse like mage towers on other islands. Although they are different in height, sometimes they can see the flashing magic halo, which is the common protective cover of MAGE tower.

On the way to candlelight castle, Linda introduced these mage towers to you.

The six high towers on the walls of the six sided city of zhubao are the mage towers exclusive to zhubao, while the mage towers on these islands around zhubao only partially belong to zhubao, and the other part belongs to some mages who cooperate with zhubao.

For various reasons, these archmages did not intend to stay in candleburg for a long time, so they only signed a common cooperation contract with candleburg. They provide different levels of services for candleburg to exchange the knowledge they need.

Some of these services belong to defense work, others simply provide property and research results.

With Linda as the leader, the seven horned Eagles were in a neat row, hovering over the islands for a week, and then landed on the island where candleburg is located.

Because there is a certain range of forbidden air array over Candlestick castle, except for some flying mounts with special marks, other horned Eagles cannot enter it. They can only land at the foot of the island cliff, which is surrounded by more than ten large eagle stables and visitor registries.

The difference between candleburg's Island and other islands may be that it has an artificial gravel road. The stone road spirals up around the cliff of the island and ends at the front gate of candleburg.

The stone road is not broad. It can only accommodate three people in parallel. Moreover, it is not allowed to ride any mount here, and only to walk up the mountain. According to Linda, this is to pay homage to the temple of knowledge.

Except Linda, everyone else began to climb the mountain with a sense of curiosity. The stone road was not long. About half a quarter of an hour later, people saw the huge pyramid at the end of the road.

Different from what you can see in the sky, when you stand at the front door of this stone castle called candleburg, you can see that it is so huge and magnificent.

The walls of the fort are made of white jade like large stone blocks, which are almost perfect and smooth as a mirror. Because the whole fortress is covered with a compound protective magic, there is no living environment for fungi and insects on the wall, which is similar to the eternal decontamination, and there is no need for manual cleaning at all.

The city wall is more than 50 meters high and about 10 meters thick. There are square colored crystal windows in the middle and upper part. The top is a conical dome covered with glazed tiles. There is no female wall in the usual sense.

According to Linda's private introduction, the wall around the candlestick Castle not only functions as a wall, but also has two rows of private rooms in the middle, which are mainly residential places for scholars and guards. After all, as the main library, the central library can't hold so many people.

The main gate of the castle is very atmospheric, about 10 meters wide, and consists of two ten thousand jin gates. Only by using a huge winch and chain can it be opened. It has four side doors on each side. The main gate is closed most of the time. Visitors and internal personnel need to enter and exit from the side door.

There are two iron magic statues with a height of more than five meters on each side of the side door. This kind of magic image is driven by magic crystal, which is endowed with a certain amount of artificial intelligence by the runist. The statue has no facial features, but is inlaid with an image crystal with green light, which is equivalent to the function of eyes.At the left and right ends of the city wall, the two mage towers connected with the city wall in the lower half soar into the clouds, nearly 100 meters high, which is quite different from the weather you see when you are on the back of the horned eagle.
