Chapter 622 (1/2)
Behind Fort tonis, there is a recently completed castle.
The predecessor of this castle is actually an outpost along the supply line. At the beginning, the Ryan military did not trust that the tonis fortress of Athena could be as close as she said. After all, if the tonis fortress was broken, the dabion army would enter a flat area. There was no terrain for Ryan to defend in this area, It will lead to the fall of at least one third of the territory, so an outpost will be built here near the rear of tonis fortress as a buffer point for the dabion army to break through tonis fortress.
At the same time, this stronghold is also the last checkpoint of the most important supply line of tonis fortress.
However, with the annexation of dabion by Ryan, tonis fortress naturally lost its due value and role - at least on the surface. Therefore, the supply line was cancelled, but the outpost was retained and included in the rule of tonis fortress. After several twists and turns, the outpost was transformed into such a castle in front of us.
Perhaps because of the end of the war, the style of the castle is naturally not a war Castle - there are almost no other defense facilities except the necessary battlements, perforations and police towers. Even the moat has not been excavated, let alone suspension bridges and other facilities, and even the number of soldiers stationed here is less than 200.
However, from the top of the castle, you can see a large green field and an artificial lake in the distance. The scenery is infinitely beautiful.
Every morning and evening, at these two time points, the owner of the castle will enjoy the scenery on the top floor of the castle. Occasionally, when you are in a good mood, you will enjoy the night wind on the open-air roof stage at night, or play with your wives and concubines.
Tonight, the owner of the castle is obviously in a good mood, because even on the ground floor of the castle, you can hear the man's hearty laughter on the roof.
But soon, the laughter was broken by a rapid sound of hoofs.
The middle-aged man on the top floor frowned slightly, quickly got up, walked to the edge of the building, and looked down at the bottom outside the castle.
Because of the bright lights, he can naturally see the situation outside the castle at this time.
Perhaps I felt the fierce momentum of the castle owner at this time, and the laughter on the open-air platform fell silent in an instant. Then soon, a bodyguard quickly came forward and reported something to the middle-aged man. Others saw that the middle-aged man's face soon became gloomy, and then left quickly. Several bodyguards also hurried to keep up. At this time, these people even dared not go out of the atmosphere.
When the middle-aged man opened the door of the study on the second floor, there were already two people waiting in the room.
These two people are the magician and illusionist who escaped from Sean's hand.
In this way, the identity of the middle-aged man is naturally ready to come out.
”Lord Flores.” The magician quickly bowed.
Although as a magician at the top of the Silver Peak, he also has the status of a Viscount, he dare not show his kind of magician's arrogance and superiority in front of Flores Hellman, the actual controller of tonis fortress.
While the magician saluted, the magician next to him quickly bowed down.
In the magic world, the identity and status of the illusionist has always been much lower than that of the magician. Therefore, even though the illusionist's strength has been infinitely close to the upper silver, he still hasn't won any title, even jazz. Therefore, the illusionist still cherishes and values this job, which can receive more than ten gold coins every month. Since even the magician next to him can give up his arrogance, why can't the illusionist with no status bow his head?
Looking at the respect of the two magicians, Floris Hellman was not at all happy, and his face was still very gloomy.
Flores Hellman, although the Marquis's title is only for life, it doesn't seem to be outstanding, but the twelve upper nobles of Ryan don't dare to underestimate him at all. The reason is very simple, that is, the Marquis is the most loyal follower of the throne and the sharpest sword in the hands of the king of Ryan kingdom. According to the secret information of the nobles, one third of the gray and black industries in the whole Ryan kingdom are controlled by the Marquis, and many of them are even involved with them.
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, as long as the contradiction with the Marquis is not to an uncoordinated degree, even the upper nobles will not rush to fight. After all, they must also consider whether they will bear the anger from the man on the throne.
With the heavy footsteps of marquis Flores, the hearts of the two magicians had almost reached their throat. After all, as long as such a high-ranking and powerful person doesn't speak and show any expression, the invisible momentum will be as heavy as a mountain and oppress others to speak at will.
This is also a momentum.
Outside the door, several bodyguards quickly closed the door of the study, and then set aside their swords to guard.
In this castle, there is an express rule.
That is, once the door of the study on the second floor is closed, unless the door is opened from the inside, no one is allowed to approach privately, otherwise everything will be killed.
No one dared to repeat this rule after Marquis Flores personally ordered Ge to kill his favorite pet girl who broke in despite the rules.
At this time, when the door was closed, a faint light lit up in the whole study, and an extremely subtle magic wave slowly flowed in the study.
Seeing here, the magician's eyes have an imperceptible pride, because the embedded magic array in the study was arranged by him at the beginning. As soon as the door is closed, the magic array will start by itself, which can isolate all detection magic, and prevent eavesdropping and the leakage of conversation in the room. Of course, the only disadvantage is that there is a great demand for magic. Basically, at least five primary magic crystals need to be consumed every hour, so the door of this study will not be closed at ordinary times.
Even the actual controller of tonis fortress today, Flores Hellman's family can't afford such tossing and waste.
Sitting in a chair behind his desk, Floris Hellman frowned. He looked at the two magicians and said in a deep voice, ”Why are you the only two coming back? What about the others What about the mission failure you said? ”
Flores Hellman's voice was a little low, which made his momentum more awe inspiring.
The magician was pretty good. After all, he was one of the members of the Marquis's think tank. On the contrary, the magician trembled and dared not even give out the atmosphere. After all, on this occasion, if you really want to go down to the bottom, you can only blame him for his lack of strength and poor learning skills. Even if he has made some achievements before, it's OK. It's just that tonight's his first mission.
Seeing the illusionist trembling, Flores's eyes swept over coldly, and his eyes were obviously not good.
But at this time, the magician opened his mouth: ”Sir, it's not Rox's fault.”
This sentence successfully attracted Flores' attention, which made the illusionist cast a grateful look at the magician's companion next to him.
”Tell me.” Flores still had some trust in the magician's ability. Since the magician spoke at the moment, he motioned the magician to continue, ”what's the matter? Why didn't the others come back? ”
