Chapter 62 (1/2)

”Hillock castle is not far from our Pelican Town, but it's not very close.”

Arrow weighed the gold coin in his hand and continued——

”After going out from the south of Pelican Town, you can see a castle standing on the great plain from a distance. Distance... It takes about two or three hours to leave the town. ”

The sword soldier made records very carefully, while the gun soldier looked indifferent. He looked at the therapeutic aerosol repeatedly and seemed to be very interested in the gas inside.

”This ancient castle is called GangShi castle. As far as I know, it has been built for at least five or six hundred years? That's about it. In a word, it's very old. ”

”A long time ago, we found abundant iron ores in the Changmian mountains in the north of Pelican town. With the development of these iron ores, Pelican Town, Honglu town and Kingfisher town have developed one after another and are prosperous for a while.”

”In order to better manage the three towns and better supervise the excavation of iron ore above the Changmian mountains, the managers at that time set up a lookout platform and a camp on a high and gentle hillside in the south of Pelican town for overall management.”

”With the passage of time, generations of regulatory governors have served here in turn. With the construction of generations, this place, which was originally just a lookout, has gradually been shaped into such a small castle. Then I don't know when to start. This castle is called GangShi castle. I guess the name should be taken from the meaning of 'sentry' and 'mine'. ”

”The fortress as a whole is not particularly tall. After all, it is only the place where the governor stays. But even so, it is about 40 or 50 meters high by visual inspection. It is said that there are as many as 20 or 30 rooms inside. Although it is not comparable to the imperial city of our blue bay Empire, it is a very magnificent building in such a small border area. ”

”Then, with the gradual changes of the times, the iron ore in the Changmian mountains was collected, and the three towns, including Pelican Town, gradually stripped off their prosperity and weakened. Because there is no sense of continuous supervision, this hillock Castle also does not know when to start empty, and silently endured the erosion of time in the long years. Now it's desolate. Even if it's not used as a hiding place for thieves, it's estimated that it will become a gathering place for wild animals. ”

The sword soldier recorded it carefully in his notebook. After a while, he saw that arrow didn't continue to say, and immediately raised his head and asked, ”is there anything else? What are the possible dangers in this ancient castle? Are there any robbers around your town? ”

Arrow glanced: ”I haven't heard of any vicious robbery and theft in our town. However, there may be bandits who firmly adhere to the principle that rabbits don't eat nest grass and don't attack our small towns close at hand. ”

Of course, coco, that's not a theft at all, is it?

After recording these, the sword soldier nodded and put away his notebook. The gun soldier over there saw that the sword soldier had finished recording, and then stretched out his hand and pulled him.

The two men left the counter and went to the corner. The gun soldier looked a little impatient and said, ”Why are you always so inky? Do you understand now? ”

The sword soldier looked through his notes, nodded slightly and said, ”with a general understanding, now we can confirm that the GangShi castle has been abandoned for a long time, and the building structure inside may be unstable. We should be careful when we act.”

Gun soldier: ”well, well, you can say such a thing?”
