The Dark King – Chapter 449

It didn't take long before they reached another tall stone fort on top of a barrier wall The fort was about fiftyIt had sharp thorns stabbing out There were few corpses hanging over them

“The fort see” Dudian said

Francis replied: “Its not that long This fort surrounds entire central zone It is the line of defense The strength of this barrier is much better than the barrier wall of the inner wall”

Dudian frowned: “Why inner wall stuffs itself within barriers one after another? Is it to protect itself from the monsters of the wilderness?”

Francis shrugged his shoulders: “Living inside the wall is always safer than living outside it”

“But what's the point of living inside the walls when you can't see the landscape outside the wall?”

Francis laughed: “It's just bushes and grass What scenery are you talking about? There is nothing worth to look at!”

“You may perceive it as desolate wilderness but I think of it as freedom”

Francis didn't reply as they ca standard arates of the fort opened as they were given access to the central zone

There were several barracks and villages behind the fort

Dudian asked: “I didn't expect to see a village in this desolate part of the central zone”

Francis answered: “Mr Dean there is no concept of 'villages' in the inner wall The people who live there are the families of the soldiers stationed in the fort These soldiers can't go back to the ho so their wives and children have been transported to live in here”

Dudian's eyes lit up but he didn't ask for anything else

The group passed through the roads over the hills Half an hour later they ca mountain There was a lively town at the foothills of the mountain

“It's the St Paul branch of the Monastery We will be going there” Francis pointed to the road leading to the top of the mountain

Dudian quietly observed the place The buildings within the toere scattered around Francis didn't take Dudian into the town but they went along the road to the top of the ate where two soldiers were at duty

Both of thes Saints”

Francis nodded as they continued along the road They reached a square and all of theot off the snow lions

At the end of the square there was a nificent abbey It was similar to western cathedrals that Dudian reels in front of the abbey

“This is the courtyard There are se the hillside” Francis introduced the place to Dudian

Dudian found that the Monastery had the same institutions like the Christianity from the old era They had seminary, hospital and other structures Was it that the structures were passed down from the old era?

They walked down the stairs and went into a hall This part of the abbey was extreant

“Come with me” Francis opened a door on the side and went in There was a long passage behind the wall They walked for h several forks Francis choose forks as if following a particular path

It didn't take long when the secret corridor finished and a spiral stairs appeared in front of the like a maze

“Why its so complex?” Dudian asked
