Chapter 40-41 (2/2)
With a bit of caution and even more curiosity, Enzo followed Lin Qi in into the main fortress
The style of the fortress was very conventional Beyond the entrance was a spacious hall Two curved, steep, and narrow staircases opposite of each other led to the second floor From Enzo's view, these two staircases were also le and width of the staircases, as long as there stood several expert swordsmen on top, even with several hundred fully ar to the second floor would be difficult
Furthermore, under the staircases, there were several e shapes which made Enzo even more astonished Was it possible that there were also various kinds of a over the hallway floor under the staircases once again, the floor indeed seely, perhaps there was a deep pitfall under the floor, the kind that was filled with sharp metal bayonets!
Beyond the foyer was an enored, long oaken dining tables that were sufficient to accohts, the oaken dining tables shone with a metallic luster similar to that of black iron They clearly possessed several hundred years of history
Different from those carefully selected aristocratic fa tables The six hundred big chairs beside the tables also weren't the kind normally used by the aristocrats Instead of the tall chairs with elegant designs that they preferred, these were large and robust, made entirely from chunks of heavy oak
Together with the subtletables and chairs as well as the severe, black floor and scarlet wall cloth, the hall gave an i The banquet hall's austere aura was enough to suffocate people of little courage Adding to the oppressive at at the four corners of the hall and the large hatchet, heavy sword, andon the walls, coes
Upon entering the hall, Lin Qi's gaze fell on the ten, enorolden light that Enzo was very fah Lin Qi's pupils; that was precisely the look of greed that appeared whenever Lin Qi saw a great aold coins The question was, this was his own fareedy?
Enzo had to admit, however, that those candleholders were truly impressive He also couldn't help but s a mouthful of saliva
They were pure gold, elegantly shaped and inlaid with a great number of red sapphires Every one of these candleholders should weigh several hundred kilograold candleholders there Under the light of several hundred large candles, the candleholders e radiance
Only Duke faher could have candleholders as precious as these, right? Enzo's gaze couldn't help but be attracted to these candleholders For three years, under Lin Qi's influence, Enzo had also come to possess a certain appreciation towards daily appliances The shape of these candle holders was so elegant, and they were n that quite a few royal families in the continent enjoyed
These candleholders seeed by a skillful crafts at their color and luster, they should also be old antiques How they appeared in this room was aroyal faacy of his ancestors? Or, was it si royal family?
Who knew? Enzo thoughtfully looked at these candleholders One tiny clue could reveal s Lin Qi's family's financial resources and poere extremely impressive!
At the end of the banquet hall, on a platfored from an unknown, ferrous er that was lusting to kill its prey On the centre of the dragon knot on the tiger's belly was a wide depression that served as the seat
A black beardeda black, satin robe, as a fist taller than Lin Qi and emitted a subtle baleful aura from his whole body, was seated on the throne He puffed sar in his mouth Upon Lin Qi's and Enzo's entrance, Old Man Blackbeard swept his eyes to stare in their direction Enzo felt as if someone shot two, sharp arroards hie them
Such a terrifying person! Enzo's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat
Powerful! So strong that it was uniinable, this man in front of Enzo was the most powerful man he had ever met No one could co Aunt Lily, when coe and ferocious wolves in front of a lion Regardless of their fearsome aura, they weren't on the same level
Even the professors in the Army Acadeths were the strongest, didn't have such terrifying grandeur like Old Man Blackbeard
With difficulty, Enzo inhaled deeply and straightened his body under Old Man Blackbeard's gaze
Old Man Blackbeard gazed at Enzo with appreciation, then retracted the frightening aura he had intentionally emitted
Yet Lin Qi didn't even spare a glance towards his own father's frightening aura Rather, he approached Old Man Blackbeard in large strides, then hugged him firmly and heavily ”Hey, damned old man, we haven't ht? Ah, ht Three years, three whole years, you didn't give me even one copper coin!”
Old Man Blackbeard's gaze slightly softened, then rapidly resuhtly, then sihtened his ar hier purse hanging from Lin Qi's waist Lin Qi's body stiffened, then exasperatedly stamped on one of Old Man Blackbeard's feet
Blackbeard lightly groaned in astonish firmly restricted, Lin Qi was still able to strike back at hith exceeded his estith He released Lin Qi, covered his own purse, and retreated several steps He laughed oyfully and said, ”Lin Qi, you little scoundrel, your strength is a lot beyond !”
Lin Qi was unwilling to let go and once again tried to hug Blackbeard He loudly shouted, ”Stop this rubbish!+ My poor, early-deceased le this ruffian with a beard across his face in front of old coins he gave le copper coin!”
Blackbeard fir to let Lin Qi approach no h, Lin Qi! One hundred gold coins are sufficient for an ordinary and obedient student to spend a luxurious year! Three years, you haven't returned home for three whole years; this is your fault!”
Lin Qi widened his eyes, sneered, and said, ”My fault? If you had letout both of that bastard's eyeballs and throw hione to Borali at all!”
The ate Tie Chui and Tu Dao simultaneously wrinkled their brows
Blackbeard was silent for a long time Only after a while did he shake his head and say, ”That ht, we haven't ue with your old ht will be your welco tomorrow, follow me to visit those da to run for Mayor of Dunerk City, so you absolutely cannot s up for me!”
Lin Qi and Enzo siulped ato run for mayor?
Lin Qi suddenly hugged his stohed until he felt weak from head to foot and had to sit on the floor
