Chapter 206 (1/1)
As the residence and symbol of the Great Duke of liehammer, this fort was built almost after the succession of the king of the grey lion. It is said that when the king was still a prince, he left the kingdom for a long journey because he longed for the vast world. When he finished his adventure and returned to the Cang lion, he had several good friends in the adventure.
Most of these companions simply went back to their hometown with the prince for a few days and then left the remote kingdom. Only one powerful soldier remained with the king and was awarded the title of ”hammer”. At first, Lord liehammer was just a new Baron in the kingdom. All the nobles of the Kingdom regarded this guy who did not attend any social occasions as a confidant and favorite of the king.
However, with the invasion of Western nomads, the grey lion, which had just replaced the king, soon fell into war. At that time, it was neither the Heishan family nor the once largest military aristocrat who came forward to pacify the young king.
The Baron's strong hammer, with two attendants and a hammer on his shoulder, marched westward from the capital of the king. He collected the remaining soldiers along the way, and drove the plunderers on horseback out of the kingdom with great strength and admirable commanding ability.
The Baron's position has risen with great strides as a matter of course. But perhaps there was an agreement. Just when everyone thought that the new rich would enter the power center of the Kingdom, or even become the marshal of the Kingdom directly, the king only gave him a task of reclamation and defense. And the land he reclaimed is now the strong hammer collar.
”A man who opened up half a kingdom.” Looking at the iron murals depicting the deeds of liechui Dagong on the walls of liechui castle, mantra crow said. If what he had heard from all sides was ok, no matter how ridiculous the rumors were, this man really increased the size of a duke's collar in the kingdom. What's more, these lands were robbed from the hands of nomadic people.
”Strange, is there no servant in this castle?” It has been confirmed that there is no room for Lord hammer at the top of the main tower. The curse crow follows the corridor and gradually goes to the interior of the castle. But to the bewilderment of the magician, although he has gone down a lot of space, so far the mantra crow has not met any servant working in the castle.
This is of course unreasonable. Generally speaking, the daily cleaning and maintenance work of this kind of Castle must use a lot of manpower. Even the grey tower can't avoid this, but because of his racial talent, Ah Fu, the housekeeper in the grey tower, can incarnate into many individuals and work independently. What is not enough can also drive other arcane creatures to make up for it, so there is no need to hire other servants. But housekeepers like Ah Fu don't show up in job hunting centers in the town. Have all the servants gone to dinner?
Shaking his head to dispel this unreliable speculation, such as this kind of large castle meal time is relatively fixed, the servants' life and rest without emergencies can not be disrupted. In the middle of the night, even if there are no servants to clean, there will always be some lighting people on the night patrol.
With his head tilted to think for a while, the curse crow felt that he should not waste his time wandering. His eyes began to flash with magic. In this way, he could ignore the walls and find the people living in the castle directly. But when the crow began to use magic, something interesting happened. What he saw in his vision was still an empty corridor.
”What's the situation?” The magician looked around in disbelief and found that the interior of the castle was no different from what he had seen with his naked eye.
The puzzled mantra crow hurried to the nearest window and looked out of the window at the molten iron city. In his view, there were no large houses and scattered fires, only countless individuals flashing the breath of life. This makes the magician more confused while confirming that his magic is OK. And his obsession didn't last long.
”Creak, creak” with the sound of heavy footsteps and chain turning from the corner of the corridor, the curse crow knew that his magic had succeeded in attracting the attention of the people in the castle. However, judging from the shadow on the wall, the thing that came to meet him was not very friendly.
”So who can explain why there are steel dummies in the castle of a Duke of the kingdom?” Looking at things coming out of the corner with a stiff posture, the curse crow cocked his head and looked unbelievable.
What appears in front of the magician is about two meters high. Compared with the nearly three meters corridor in the castle, its size is not too exaggerated. But apart from the height, the rest of the steel humanoid is even more frightening, especially the dummy's left hand with a circular serrated blade and two rows of barbed round cylinders in its abdominal cavity. Although it seems that the iron cylinders have not yet started to rotate, the mantra crow believes that as long as something is pushed into that place, the only thing waiting for it is to be crushed.
As the dummy turns the corner completely, its eyes inlaid with two blue ores are accurately aimed at the curse crow. At the same time, the blade and iron cylinder on its body are also rapidly rotating, making a chilling sound of metal friction.”I don't seem to have any plans to communicate with me.” The magician said that he began to step back consciously. In such a narrow corridor, he would confront an opponent like a steel dummy, which was no different from suicide. Besides, he didn't want to rush into war.
For the curse crow, this kind of puppet dummy without self-determination should be the most difficult opponent. The power of the curse is enough to make all creatures fear, but the steel and rock without life How can you curse them? Of course, curse crow is not unaware of the short board that they encounter in the face of this type of opponent, but people's energy is limited after all, and it is not easy to want to have everything.
However, the weakness of the curse crow will not affect the steel dummy. The heavy puppet still firmly walks towards the intruder who breaks into the castle. The blade on its left hand inadvertently crossed the golden lampstand beside the corridor, cutting the upper part of the whole lampstand into powder in an instant.
Threatened by the dummy, the crow was soon forced to return to its original position. Seeing that there is no way to go, if the magician doesn't want to escape from the window, the battle seems inevitable.
