Black Swan Castle has been in decline for too long.

Since the outbreak of war four and a half years ago, the Black Swan Castle has become a forgotten place, like the gods who have fallen asleep due to Ragnarok. This forgotten place has been silent here in the Anglodar Mountains for three years, and the five famous castles in the south of the former Miracle Continent have gradually become four in people's memory, and no one seems to think that there is anything wrong with the Black Swan Castle being excluded from this ranking.

After countless days of sun and rain, the Black Swan Castle finally became like an old man, unable to withstand the washing of the years, and became more and more dilapidated.

If this continues, the castle will eventually become a ruin.

The Miracle Continent in reality is not comparable to a game. The game is protected by a program, no matter how dilapidated this castle is, it is impossible to really become a ruin, as long as the player completes the unsealing requirements of the system, this castle will naturally fall into the hands of the player; But in reality, if a castle really becomes a ruin, then the cost of rebuilding it is a geometric increase, and now the castle has not become a ruin, but it will take more than 4,000 stones to completely repair it, and if it is to be completely restored, it will require more stones.

To completely restore a half-dilapidated castle can be a bit costly.

But Sean still did not hesitate to devote himself to the castle in all aspects.

Of course, how many factors in this are because of the sacrificial platform on the second basement floor, no one knows the Dao. However, Sean's plan, he is ready to wait for this war to end, and hatch the crypt ice spider queen, and as the lair of the crypt ice spider queen, it is naturally the spacious underground floor. Once the Ice Spider Queen is hatched, Sean is ready to expand the castle's underground, and if possible, he even plans to build an underground network under his own territory.

However, this kind of thing is relatively long-term, so Sean didn't think much about it for the time being.

But in any case, the Black Swan Castle has indeed improved greatly after welcoming Sean, the new owner.

Now in the Black Swan Castle, there are a total of 200 guards, all of whom are Northland barbarians. However, these two hundred Northland barbarians are different from other Northland barbarians, they are the true elite of the tribe. In addition to the half-body shield and iron spear, each of them also has a refined longbow, which is a real longbow that is proficient in long-range melee combat, and they have followed Alfred all the way to the battle, and the only seven veterans who are in charge of them are in charge. The combat effectiveness of this small force is enough to easily defeat the militia regiment of Red Leaf Town and White Pigeon Town combined.

Sean left this force in the Black Swan Castle, which shows the importance attached to the Black Swan Castle.

But everyone knows the truth. This is because there is a big man in the Black Swan Castle who seems to be in some kind of deep sleep.

The younger sister of the lord. Miss Cecilia.

Although many people actually think that Miss Cecilia and Lord Lord are not like each other at all - although Lord Lord looks pretty good, if you look at Miss Cecilia's excellent bloodline, Sean can really only be regarded as miserable. But for Miss Cecilia, no one would dislike her, especially the veterans who had followed Cecilia and Alfred all the way from Tindes Lead, and to the lord's sister. It is also love and respect from the heart.

Being able to protect Cecilia in this castle is very satisfying for the veterans who have experienced several life-and-death battles. Of course, they also knew that in fact, a large part of this was also the lord's care for them. Otherwise, with the vast experience of these veterans, William could not have wasted their abilities in vain, especially at a time when the territory was so in need of development.

"Alas, it's been almost half a year, and Miss Cecilia has gone on like this, and I don't know if there's anything wrong with Lu Dao." A veteran looked at Cecilia's closed door and sighed helplessly, "I haven't eaten or drunk for nearly half a year, how can a normal person bear it." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The other older veteran frowned slightly and snorted softly, "Can Miss Cecilia be an ordinary person?" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the veteran's face was also worried.

Any normal person, let alone half a year, will fall into a weakened state if he does not eat for three days, and his body will begin to fail after four days, and if he does not even drink a sip of water for seven days, he will basically die of thirst. But Cecilia had been locked in her room for nearly half a year, and if it weren't for the faint but unusually melodious breathing of these veterans, and the powerful magic that they could feel as soon as they approached the door, they would have thought that Cecilia was dead.

But even so, both the veterans and the Northland barbarians were still worried about Cecilia's situation.

"I heard that there is another war." Seeing that the veteran's face also showed a sad color, the veteran who spoke first changed the topic a little stiffly.

"Yes." The slightly older veteran nodded, "It is said that this time it is a war with the nobles of the Dabion Kingdom. When I went to Momiji Town to purchase some time ago, I heard that the movement and arrangement of all the troops in the territory had been arranged, so I waited for Lord Alfred to come back, and then the war was about to start. ”

"Isn't Lord Alfred in the realm?"

"Not there." The veteran shook his head, "I heard that I was looking for the elf named Neil, the one who the lord wanted to ask to be a staff member before, but the other party didn't buy it." …… Hehe, I've heard that Master William has given a death order this time, and if the elf doesn't know what to do, he will be allowed to be tied up by Lord Alfred. ”

"Ha Luha, this is very pleasant." The younger veteran laughed, "But I'd like to be able to participate in this war." What a hearty thing it was to fight with Lord Alfred on the battlefield. I don't know how many more opportunities Lu Dao will have in this life...... Don't say it, I used to always think about eating and waiting for death, but after those thousands of miles of battle, I realized that it was a pleasure to die on the battlefield. ”

"Don't say anything unlucky." The older veteran snorted.

The young veteran seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, the whole castle seemed to shake.

There was a look of confusion in the eyes of both veterans, because the shock came very suddenly. But it disappeared very quickly, only slightly felt that the castle seemed to shake for a moment, but before the two of them could feel it again, the vibration disappeared without a trace. But after all, these two veterans are also people who have experienced countless battlefield battles, and their reactions are also very fast, the older veterans immediately went downstairs to check the situation, and the younger one drew his long sword and guarded the door to prevent any surprise attacks.

But the two veterans had barely made a move, and the entire castle shook suddenly, this time much more violently than the sudden shaking of the moment just now. And it no longer just stops shaking for a moment, but it starts to last for a long time. In the castle, a large amount of sand and gravel dust began to fall from above, and some well-placed dishes and other dishes were also shaken and fell to the ground at this moment, turning into piles of debris. And as the shaking became louder and louder, there were even traces of stone collapse. Even the floors are starting to crack.

"Is it an earthquake!?" The veteran, who wanted to go downstairs to check on the situation, did not dare to go downstairs at this time. Ducked to the side and shouted.

As soon as the sound sounded, the earthquake in the castle stopped instantly.

Everything came strangely weird and suddenly.

It's just that in this uncertain situation, the two veterans didn't dare to make any moves for a while, and only after hiding in place for more than ten seconds did they dare to stand up and look at each other. And at this very moment. A piercing screech suddenly erupted from Cecilia's room, like countless shards of glass falling, eventually converging into an extremely piercing scream, followed by the magic that had spread like an eggshell around Cecilia's room. Immediately it became like boiling water, and in the next second, it rushed towards Cecilia in the room, as if it was collapsing.

When all the magic collapsed and condensed into Cecilia's body, the entire castle instantly gave people the illusion of time and space frozen, whether it was the sound of the wind, human voices, or any other sound, it was completely disappeared at this moment.

Then, in the next moment, a roaring explosion rang out, followed by a burst of flames from Cecilia's body, burning through the entire roof, forming a straight pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky.

Soon, a crimson cloud of energy and fire was rapidly condensing in the sky above the entire ancient castle.

At this moment, no matter who could see that the pillar of fire that rose into the sky was the source of the power of the condensation and diffusion of this fire cloud, and the fire cloud, which was originally less than a foot at the beginning, quickly expanded into a huge fire cloud covering the entire ancient castle in a radius of dozens of zhang in just a few seconds, as if this pillar of fire would never end. The entire castle and the surrounding land were lit up red by this fire cloud, and the strange thing was that anyone could feel the fury of this fire cloud, even those servants who had no power could feel this terrible energy, but no one felt the heat, not even the lake on the castle was evaporated.

When the pillar of fire lasted for more than ten seconds, it finally stopped rising into the sky.

But by this time, the fire clouds in the sky had spread to a width of a hundred feet, and the rolling waves of fire looked like a sea of flames suspended in the sky. But soon, the edge of this sea of flames began to change color, from the initial red gradually to bright yellow, orange yellow, and the last is a deep red as blood, and with each change of color, this fire cloud in a radius of 100 zhang also began to shrink, when the color became as deep red as blood, the edge of the fire cloud in the sky was only less than 20 zhang, but the intensity was obviously a little stronger.

In the next second, as if punished by heaven, a pillar of light like a pillar of blood rushed down from top to bottom from this fire cloud, shooting straight at Cecilia's body.

The flames that burned almost everything fell on Cecilia's body, but they didn't hurt her in the slightest, not even her clothes were burned, but all of them were absorbed by her skin. It's just that at this moment, Cecilia's originally fair and delicate skin was filled with countless blood-red veins, and the final flow of these veins was Cecilia's heart, and as more and more of these flames flowed to Cecilia's heart, her heartbeat began to get louder and louder.

Later, almost every time my heart beats, I could even hear the sound of a bell ringing for miles around the castle.

At this moment, this vision can be seen from the fascist kingdom in the east, the wilderness land in the south, the thousand-year Covenant empire in the west, and the trading capital in the north. And those who have a little insight into this know very well that this means that someone has awakened the ancient bloodline that is sleeping in the body! (To be continued.) )
