Orucello's residence is a castle, which is actually quite incongruous in a sense. After all, this is the sky, not compared to the feudal era when the territories on the ground were divided into many countries, there, the castle where the knight lords lived, the first consideration was to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, the best thing to do is to build more than ten or twenty layers of walls against the sky, and people and horses must rely on the cable car to enter the city. Orucello is an archmage, not a knight lord, and he will never sacrifice the comfort of living for the sake of so-called safety, and with his pride, he must think that his strength is much more useful than all the city walls. The castle, then, with its thick walls, ugly urn city, towering arrow towers, and gloomy aisle rooms, is far from habitability in appearance alone.

So, the reason why the residence of the archmage was built as a castle instead of the traditional tower shape that mages loved - in fact, there are not many traditional old-school mages living in the tower buildings - is because one of the ancestors of the sect, that is, Lu Xi's wife, the ancestor of the Grand Magus Grahar, built the castle on the hill with the best view of the island and the unobstructed view of the whole island when he obtained the Rainbow Rose Island as a fief. Although this lady is a great mage, it is said that she married a heroic and beautiful female knight, and in order to make his wife feel comfortable, he has such a funny move.

Although Orucello is an arrogant and conceited non-mainstream, no matter how wasteful he is, he will not casually tear down and rebuild the castle left by the master, and he can only find a way to make a fuss internally like his ancestors. The corridor was expanded. Wall lamps and decorative paintings were hung, and load-bearing columns were installed to wrap the sculptures. carpeted; The room is covered with wallpaper and wall paintings, and the arrow holes are enlarged to form arched windows. stained glass was installed; The well inside the castle was converted into a small fountain, and generations of ancestors laid long channel-style alchemy pipes that directly diverted water from the lake below the mountain into the castle and watered the back garden.

After several generations of interior remodeling, the castle retains only the appearance of a fortified structure, but the interior is almost like a mansion. After Lu Xi arrived, he also made certain decorations on the appearance of the castle, such as hanging a large hanging flag with a rose pattern on the urn city, and placing various types of statues on the top of the arrow tower. Decorative reliefs in the style of ornate Gothic were pasted on the gates. All in all, the wicked décor soon made the castle more and more funny, oh no, more and more gorgeous.

However, this qiē is only a façade. There has always been a saying in the world: "A dwelling of a master magician, even a thatched house, can swallow up an army of 100,000." ”

This statement should be strongly exaggerated, but it is essentially plausible. High-ranking spellcasters, especially arcane masters who like to specialize in all kinds of mad anti-human studies. The transformation of their own residence is actually frenzied, which does not mean that these magicians are insecure and psychopathic, but more just motivated by interest.

For example, the castle of our protagonist, master and apprentice: the ghost sculptures on both sides of the gate are gargoyles, not to mention, because this setting is too classical and everyone knows it; An automatic mana repeater is placed on the tower. The various statues are actually semi-self-disciplined alchemical puppets; Gothic-style gates are filled with inducing magic traps, ranging from electric shocks to freezing to poison gas; The murals in the hallway are actually embedded with spellcasting materials, forming a large illusion-inducing activation circle.

Besides. The old butler, Daddy Camcha, don't look like an old goblin who doesn't look good. And he is trapped in a racial talent that can't learn magic, but he is a special weapon master and puppet master with gold rank 4 strength. He is adept at using weapons such as crossbows, hammer balls, and headhammers. Of course, after the advent of the guidance technology, Lu Xi also specially refined a guide rifle for the old man that could fire scattered bullets and armor-piercing bullets. The butt has been weighted to allow for more parts to be loaded and unloaded, and the barrel is made of extremely wear-resistant and durable material, which can be used as a two-handed warhammer upside down.

In addition, the spirit clan was born with the talent of racial spiritual power to cultivate and manipulate alchemy puppets, and the butler father was the best among them. He was able to manipulate ten alchemy puppets that he had personally designed and made, and the combat power of these puppets was not much worse than that of Nymeria, who Sehiru had started from the Titan Ruins.

To put it bluntly, how could Orucello's most trusted butler and his younger servant be mediocre?

Plus Lim and Nicole, who were supposed to be near the castle, and Angie and Alexander, who had already rushed back. Lu Xi has always felt that the castle's defense should be foolproof, even if there is really a legendary-level villain, it is enough to hold out until he rushes back to support.

But even with such combat power, it was still invaded into the real yàn room.

"Hey, what a gaffe! I really don't know how to explain to him when the master comes back. ”

In the past, he was a spirited old butler in a widened and shortened suit, but at this time he wore a widened and shortened chain mail, a fur coat, and although he did not wear a helmet, he wore a windproof glasses. He carried the silver-quality dual-purpose spear he named "Roaring Dragon", and a saber about two-thirds the length of the Sword of the Dawn Knight pinned to his waist. The old man Cam, who usually looks like a group of people with a kind smile and a good smile, is also very majestic when he is fully armed, but the only thing that violates the harmony is that his face is obviously full of sadness.

"Can you determine how many intruders there are? How strong is it? Lu Xi looked at Alexander, who was standing like a statue in front of the foyer with a horse and a spear, and then walked through a messy corridor, asking as he walked.

"There's only one person...... But he is definitely the world's top stealth action master, and he also has advanced illusion-breaking skills, so his attainments in magic will not be low. The old butler defined the intruder in a categorical tone: "In my concept, except for the Faceless and a few Shadow Masters of the Dark Brotherhood, it is really hard to imagine that there will be such a master as Zài. ”

Lu Xi nodded, believing Kamcha's judgment, this loyal spirit old butler was by no means the kind of person who tried to elevate the enemy in order to shirk responsibility. He has been following Orucello for decades, the so-called things gather people in groups, don't look at the old man's usual amiable smile on his face, but he is actually arrogant in his bones, and he is absolutely confident in his own strength and the defense of the castle. Now that he has been tricked and the castle's defenses have been broken, there should be no other explanation than a master, a master, and a master.

Two alchemy puppets were guarding the doorway of the real yàn room, while the rest were guarding and patrolling around the castle. Nicole and Lim were in the real room at this time, and Angie was of course with the girls.

Lu Lu ...... I'm sorry, you sent someone to inform us to be careful, but you still didn't keep your real room. Seeing Lu Xi come in, the future Norda Elf High Priest stood up and began to apologize with a face full of shame. Maybe it's because she has a strong and willful sister, Nivea? Miss Lin Ge's personality has been very considerate and gentle since she was a child, although there are many times when she is off-line and petty, but in general, she is still a soft girl full of positive energy and even some virgins.

"People who are too eager to admit mistakes, or too eager to admit mistakes, will definitely become a general sufferer, which is not suitable for Nicole at all. And it's not your fault in the first place. Even in this case, Lu Xi didn't forget to comfort his sister, if people don't have such a reaction, they shouldn't have any consciousness of opening the Crystal Palace.

"So, please repeat it from beginning to end. How did it happen? ”

Just as Lu Xi imagined, Nicole and Lim did find a place to continue the film. Of course, as two cute girls, such a loveless thing as beating each other with a knife, as long as you do it once, you won't do it a second time. Their preparation this time is to compete with their skills as women, to put it bluntly, they make a snack by themselves, and then give it to Lu Xi to taste it in the evening. Of course, they estimated that they were still working in vain this time. Considering Lu Xi's delicate personality and level 10 fame, even if these two dim sums are unbearable, Lu Xi will definitely hold them to the clouds, so that the two girls are in the clouds, but they just won't give a high or low victory.

So, Angie soon finds Nicole and Lim in the kitchen, who are starting to make flour.

Since there is a possibility that there will be enemies coming to the door, it is naturally impossible for the girls' competition to continue. Nicole thinks that since the castle is Luci's home, it must not be damaged in the slightest, and Lim agrees. The two girls immediately ran to the outside of the castle to stand guard, fully armed, but they did not expect that the real intruder had infiltrated the castle without a sound.

"We can also see explosions and fires in the village here, and we think that the enemy will come to attack as well. As a result, I didn't expect the other party to sneak in secretly. Nicole said embarrassedly, "I should have put a Floating Dryad on the door of important rooms like the hallway, the staircase, well, the library and the real room." ”

"Although the floating dryads are small and easy to hide, they can only achieve complete stealth in the forest and the sea of trees, in an environment like the castle, if the infiltrator is a super strong master-level stealth actor, even the dryads will be discovered, and they will have many ways to avoid the spiritual sense of these little guys." Lu Xi said: "I heard that the intruder has entered the real room, so how was he discovered?" ”

"That's thanks to Mary." The old butler showed a happy look: "This is really a blessing in misfortune!" (To be continued......)
