Heart of the Castle

Chapter 194 The Castle Resurrected Troops Advance

The time to enter the heart of the castle was extremely short this time, and the grotesque and distorted scenery flashed by in front of him. Before Li Wei felt uncomfortable due to weightlessness, he found that his feet had stood on solid ground again.

This is the first time that Li Wei has had the opportunity to see the appearance of the heart of the castle after being promoted again. The high wall made of light red sandstone has replaced the log fence. The tall spiers are like spears; the guard tower for training pikemen and the archer tower for training archers are separated on both sides of the castle, each connected by a suspended corridor; the most striking thing is the tall tower at the highest point of the castle. The tower, several griffins soared and played around the tower, and their joyful chirping sounds came from the air.

"This is... my castle." Li Wei felt his eyes warm up, and his chest was boiling with joyful passion. He opened his arms and embraced the castle in front of him affectionately. Bad news coming.

The heart of the castle is evolving towards the great castle in memory. Although this light red sandstone building is slightly smaller than Viscount Ryan's castle, it is absolutely qualified even as a baron's residence.

Mr. Disch was waiting for Levi standing in front of the castle gate. Beside the old magician stood a small group of burly alchemy warriors. Their steel helmets were shining in the sun and painted blue and white. The enamel breastplate protects their chest and abdomen, and a four-foot epee is the most eye-catching equipment on them. This weapon, which is customarily called "one and a half hand sword", is more suitable than ordinary long swords. Fighting against the battlefield is more flexible than two-handed swords.

Although it was the first time for Li Wei to see these very powerful alchemy fighters, he knew very well that this was another new unit that appeared after the promotion of Castle Heart.The two newly-appeared arms buildings are called the Griffin Tower and the Sword Soldiers Battalion. Since the promotion consumes almost all the energy stored in the heart of the castle, Li Wei could only choose to recruit one of the Griffins and Swordsmen.

Relatively speaking, Li Wei is more familiar with the swordsmen. The two crusader swordsmen used to be the most powerful subordinates around him. Although ordinary swordsmen are not as powerful as them, they are still real knights who have grasped the seeds of fighting spirit.

The overall combat power of Griffins is weaker than that of swordsmen, but these overlords of the sky will play a great role in attacking the devil's lair located in the natural danger of the volcano.If Li Wei recruited a team of swordsmen at the beginning, I am afraid that they would have lost everything on the way to climb the old man. Even if they were lucky enough to rush into the devil's lair and successfully destroy the evil altar, they would be defeated because of the old man's actions. Finally broke out and died there.

A white light came from the hand of the old magician and shone on Li Wei. The feeling of weakness that had been bothering Li Wei since his mana was exhausted gradually faded under the white light, and finally disappeared without a trace.As the last wound in his body healed, a faint silver flame rose from Li Wei's body, which made him let out a low cry of surprise.

"This is... fighting spirit?" After seeing the vision of the silver flame, Li Wei was immediately enveloped by a great sense of happiness.

"That's right, from now on, you can be called a quasi-high-ranking knight, Li Wei." Mr. Dish said with a smile, and then he walked to Li Wei's side with his staff, raised his head and looked up at the majestic castle.

"The magic tower and the portal have been built. With these two key buildings, the heart of the castle will become a real backup base. As long as there is enough energy supply, alchemy warriors can be continuously recruited, and finally a group of alchemists can be formed. An elite army of considerable size." The old magician said loudly, his eyes shining brightly like stars. "Now you have to choose your path, Li Wei, in the name of the hero who ended the disaster, whether you go to the imperial capital and climb up the noble ladder; or stay here, the territory and manor acquired by management are all yours choices that can be made.”

"Mr. Dish, the matter is not that simple." Li Wei sighed, and said with some disappointment, and then he told the old magician the news he heard from His Majesty's envoy, and finally concluded: "...that's it , if I'm not lucky, I'm afraid I can only get an empty knight title, and at most I can add some gold as a reward."

The old magician's smile didn't change a bit. He looked at Li Wei, listened to the young man's narration, then stroked his white beard with his hand and said: "It's nothing, Li Wei, don't worry. You have a group of very noble friends, From your narration, I guessed their thoughts. King Arthur... Oh, please forgive me for not remembering which generation he is. I am afraid that this majesty did not know in advance the identity of the greatest hero who ended the evil disaster. It is a young man like you who has not yet qualified as a knight, so you give the order according to the general practice."

Levi nodded thoughtfully and said, "It should be like this. His Majesty King Arthur XII has always been known for his fairness and generosity. He should not begrudge a piece of territory or a title of nobility."

"The king's generosity? The title of nobility is definitely not stingy, but it's hard to talk about granting territories." Mr. Dish frowned as if recalling something, and there was a hint of imperceptible contempt in his voice. "A territory is to a nobleman what a lamb is to a hungry wolf. Since no hungry wolf would dislike the plumpness of the lamb under its mouth, of course no nobleman would dislike his own fief more. What's more, even royal relatives have the same Many nobles in robes can only stay in their small manors, licking their paws like hibernating black bears. If they smell the territory that can be divided here, they will probably rush over like a swarm of flies. "

Li Wei responded with a wry smile at the old magician's merciless tone. With his knowledge of the nobles, he was still unable to judge whether Mr. Dish's words were a kind of prejudice, but since Viscount Lane, who holds a territory in his hand, would do it for a The knight's family property does not hesitate to abandon morality and law, so it is conceivable for other nobles without territories to show greedy faces.

"According to the king's order, only if you already have the qualifications of a knight, you can get a reward that is sufficient for the merits you have established." Mr. Dish shook his fingers, smiled slyly and said: "This is the key, Everyone knows, Li Wei, that you already have the power of fighting spirit seeds, and you can definitely pass the knight qualification test of the Knights Association. The method that the scholar named Sugard thought of must be to make a time difference, before the messenger gets all the information, let you Obtain the knight qualification certified by the Knights Association."

"Mr. Dish, do you mean that I still have a chance to get the territory and the title of nobility?" Levi raised his eyebrows with an excited expression on his face.

Although I have already made a decision not to blame others even if I don't get the reward I deserve, but it is certainly a better thing to get the reward. Li Wei turned around twice, then slapped his head and said: "Mr. Dish, The nearest branch of the Knights Association is located in Dirk City, North County, and it will take two days and two nights to go from here, so I should pack my bags and set off immediately."

"Don't be impatient, little guy." Mr. Dish shrugged his shoulders and said: "Sugard must have a way to delay enough time, and as the military leader of the territory, you must not be so impatient, otherwise you will be suspected by the messenger. On the contrary, it’s not good. Now let’s go to the magic tower and see how much we gained from the raid on the devil’s lair!”
