Chapter 475 Lionheart Castle
Ilea called her guard captain and found the people who were watching and patrolling outside last night.
However, no one had noticed any uninvited guests approaching her tent, and naturally no one could tell where the wood carving came from.
After a while, Wilder and others also came over.
In order to get rid of the curse, Tregg had traveled to many places and dealt with many sects. He recognized the carvings on the wood carving at a glance and blurted out.
"This is Vallia, the goddess of life."
The female lord had already had some speculations before, but now she got confirmation from Tregg and said in a deep voice.
"It seems that this is the meeting gift that the Cornelia priest gave me."
"This is my dereliction of duty," Thomas solemnly said, "I will increase manpower to ensure your safety, and I will never let something like this happen again."
Miss Rabbit nodded. Seeing that Tregg seemed to be hesitant to speak, she said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Although Priest Cornelia failed to remove the curse from me like Prophet Merlin, she is also a person with real abilities, and there are a group of strange people in the Church of Life.
"The Priest of Cornelia activated the life force hidden in their blood. They can do many incredible things. So please, you and the Prophet Merlin must not underestimate the enemy." Tregg said with a serious expression.
"I know, and I've already met one of them."
The female lord still attaches great importance to the Church of Life. After all, just Greta, who can control mice, once caused great chaos in the Western Territory.
According to Greta, she is not the only one in the Life Church who has special abilities.
By the way, the mouse girl seemed to have mentioned an assassin who walked very lightly and had great swordsmanship.
Could it be that that person sneaked into the tent last night and stuffed the wooden sculpture under her pillow.
So what if what he was holding at that time was not a wood carving, but a dagger?
The female lord felt a chill in her heart when she thought of this.
No, we can't just rely on Thomas and the others for this matter. After all, the people on the other side are not ordinary people. We still have to find Li Yu to find a solution.
They have to live in the city for several days during this tournament, and Miss Rabbit doesn't want to be worried every time she goes to bed.
With this incident, everyone became more energetic for the rest of the journey.
Especially Thomas, who was responsible for protecting Ilea's safety during her trip. Unexpectedly, such a mistake happened before she even entered the royal capital. The captain of the guard blamed himself very much.
He might as well go into battle in person and stay by the female lord's side, never leaving the girl.
However, the mysterious man who stuffed the wooden sculpture under the pillow of the female lord never showed up again.
Two days later, everyone finally arrived at the end of the trip - Lionheart Castle.
This town was formerly a fortress of the Vespasian family. Alessandro ordered the construction of a royal city here. At that time, many people raised objections.
The main reason is that it is surrounded by plains on all sides, with a wide view and no danger. If an enemy attacks, once you leave the Elk Valley or cross the Sanzi River, you can immediately drive straight in and head straight to the royal capital.
However, the angry lion finally defied all opinions and placed the royal capital here.
Some people speculate that this is to commemorate the first victory that His Majesty led the army to win. Others say that Alessandro was keeping an eye on the restless southern princes at the time, while the women said that it was because the queen did not want to leave her homeland. Too far...
In short, the capital of the empire was set here.
At that time, Lionheart Castle was actually less than one-tenth of its current size. When Alessandro was in power, because he did not like extravagance, he only slightly repaired the original castle and built a wall outside. Done.
As the greatest king in the history of the continent of Bratis, Furious Lion spent most of his life conquering the world, and probably didn't care too much about how his own house looked like.
However, his descendants obviously did not think so. After Alessandro's death, Lionheart Castle experienced more than thirty expansions, large and small.
The largest expansion occurred during the reign of Byron I, the great-grandson of Alessandro, known as the tyrant. He used more than 6,000 craftsmen and took thirteen years to not only expand the original area of Lionheart Castle. Expanded a full five times.
And he also built himself the most luxurious palace in the entire continent, paved with gold, illuminated by walls studded with gems, and a throne made of dragon bones and the tailbone of a giant sea beast. There were three or four people there. Tall and looks very impressive.
It is said that those who have ghosts in their hearts will be so frightened that their legs will tremble just by standing in front of this throne, and they will be unable to say a word.
Byron I also wanted to build a hanging garden for his favorite youngest daughter. Unfortunately, as soon as the construction started, his own son, the Prime Minister and the Royal Council, ousted him from the throne.
Most of the most luxurious palace in the continent was demolished. The gold floor tiles were gone, and the gem walls were gone. Only the bone throne was preserved.
Together with the expanded Lionheart Castle, it became one of the few valuable things left by the tyrant.
Following the lessons learned from Byron I, his descendants have restrained themselves a lot. Although the repair and expansion of Lionheart Castle has not stopped, it has been maintained at a relatively restrained level.
In addition, Lionheart Castle is located on the plain. From a military perspective, it is certainly not safe enough. However, the roads extending in all directions also facilitate the continuous flow of material resources from all over the empire to this city, allowing it to continue to develop at a terrifying speed. .
Moreover, the current Lionheart Castle has been transformed into an out-and-out majestic city after more than ten generations of Vespasian family’s unremitting management.
The outer city wall is uniformly made of white boulders transported from the south, supplemented by red sandstone embellishments to spell out royal patterns. The thickest part of the curtain wall reaches an astonishing seven meters.
It has six city gates, each with an iron gate.
Now Ilea was standing under the Lion Gate, looking up at the towering tower, and couldn't help but feel slightly absent-minded.
Ferdinand beside her was also silent. It was the first time for both of them to leave the Western Region. The largest town they had seen before going out was Rock Snow City.
On the way here, they passed through the Golden Valley and saw the gorgeous castles built by the nobles there, and were amazed by them.
But compared with the majestic and majestic city in front of her, those towns were no different from small villages. The female lord could not even think of suitable words to describe them.
She and Ferdinand looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Reference to some Caernarfon Castle
