Chapter 356 Encounter (4000)(1/2)
The ancient castle is quiet and peaceful, like a beast that has been sleeping here since ancient times, but it just lies there quietly, comforting and contentment.
Silently, Allen and the man in black robes crossed the gate, entered the inside of the castle from outside, passed the curved road, skipped the worthless yard, and finally found the church hall of the castle.
The man in black robe quietly casts spells, and enters the hall with Allen and sees the luxurious decoration inside.
The interior of the conference hall is not dark. A beacon carved from a whole piece of crystal is hung high in the castle hall, emitting bright and intoxicating brilliance.
The delicate yellow and white bricks and stones were laid on the ground, and the light shone brighter and had a brighter color.
The carpet woven from precious black velvet is laid on the yellow and white ground. It is dark and deep, strange and charming, and corresponds to the bright light at the height, making the owner more noble and extraordinary.
On the walls of the hall, there are various portraits of characters hanging at once, with extraordinary painting skills and lifelike life.
The portrait hangs from both sides of the entrance of the hall until the end of the long table for meetings in the distance.
These portraits seem to be arranged according to time. From the decoration of the characters in the portrait, the change of time and the change of times can be clearly seen.
From medieval to modern times, from ignorance to civilization, from slave society to the steam era.
Just looking at these portraits, you can feel the extraordinary origin and the depth of the castle owner.
After all, civilians are not qualified to have a complete family inheritance system.
This is not stipulated by some law, but a well-known unspoken rule.
Because in the eyes of the nobles, those civilians only have the life to be cattle and horses for their lives, so they have no right to establish a complete and verified family genealogy for their deceased ancestors like them.
Of course, there is another reason that before becoming a noble, the ancestors of civilians often had no record of deeds.
Moreover, they don’t have the capital to trace the root cause and do such thankless things.
For them, living is already trying their best.
Looking at the long portraits of dozens of meters long stretched on both sides of the wall, Allen suddenly sighed in his heart, and a sigh arose.
But in a flash, such sigh disappeared without a trace.
At least, compared with the decadent and backward Middle Ages, this era is much better than before.
"Look it out and see if there is anything useful."
At this time, the man in black robe who was walking behind Alan sent such a message.
Alan nodded in a clear way, restrained his extra thoughts, and began to search in the hall.
To be honest, Allen and the others have already reached a set plan and can choose to leave.
After all, the original purpose of Allen and the Black-robed Man came to this castle was to verify whether the news of the Black-robed Man was correct and to test the other party's sincerity in cooperation.
And the blood clans and bloodthirsty bats wrapped in unjust souls and resentment that the two of them came in and came to the hall were enough to confirm the sincerity of the man in black robe.
They can completely retreat successfully, get out of this trap intact, and get rid of the risk of walking a tightrope.
But Allen doesn't want to.
He knew that such a choice was indeed the safest, but not the best. It was not even good.
He hopes to do more.
After all, the abandoned blood clans of Dirno City can be regarded as enemies of the Augustus family, both in terms of Tilros and in terms of their own personality and style.
And the enemy is often the best one who dies.
Allen was unwilling to be passive defense that was blocked by the water and soil. What he preferred was the decisiveness of preventing from happening and cutting grass in front of the sky.
Moreover, there are always some accounts that need to be settled.
Alan was slightly focused, his eyes narrowed slightly, his sharp eyes were like swords, as if he could see the cold silver moon through the light scattered in the hall, and the female corpse who was declining under the moonlight, with unwilling despair and resentment in his eyes.
Therefore, even after confirming the authenticity of the news from the man in black, Allen had no intention of leaving.
Instead, he proposed to the man in black, hoping that he could help him.
However, what he didn't expect was that the extremely difficult persuasion process in his imagination was unexpectedly smooth. Even before he finished speaking, the other party had already agreed.
However, although he felt that the other party's agreement was too quick, he did not notice anything was wrong. He could only accept the other party's statement that demonstrated sincerity, began to cooperate, and consolidated the foundation of trust between both parties.
Then, the two of them began to investigate the enemy situation in this castle with a large nest of vampire bats.
The same thing is true: knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated.
If you can understand the other party’s information before the development, then you will naturally take the lead and have a huge advantage.
Of course, if the opponent's strength they found was not very sufficient, there was no need to wait for the final battle later. Alan and the man in black robe could directly join forces to tie the place.
After all, two strong men who are considered top-notch in the silver ranks unite together, and their combat power is not simple 11=2.
Even because of trust, it is not as good as the tacit understanding of Allen and Renard.
However, the black-robed man far exceeds Reynard's strength, which is enough to offset the shortcomings of insufficient tacit understanding.
Of course, this is just the ideal situation. If things are not as smooth as he imagined, then Allen will try to find out whether he can find the reasons for the disagreement between the other party and the Tilross family from the other party's nest, or evidence, and the handle.
If you can really find it, then the operational space will be large.
Maybe they can still play the drama of turning against each other. Although these guys are not good people, every toilet paper has its own uses. These people can also use waste and can exert their final heat in the last stage of their lives.
Yes, the last stage of life. After all, even if they turn back, Alan and the others will not let them escape legal sanctions.
Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot will not work for him.
It is not impossible to make meritorious deeds, but the premise is that one cannot violate unforgivable and unforgivable principled mistakes.
Unfortunately, these guys who slaughter innocent people and harm human race are not qualified to be forgiven.
But this does not conflict with Allen's desire to exploit them.
Allen was happy to recycle this garbage and make some insignificant contributions to the world.
But unfortunately, they searched all the way and found the first half of the castle, but still had no gains.
So, they couldn't help but hope to put it in this council hall in the center of the castle, hoping to have a good result here.
After all, whether in terms of geographical location or symbolic sense, the possibility of "shipping" in the meeting hall is much greater than that in other places.
The two of them quietly wandered in this convention hall, their keen perception and spiritual sense carefully released, checking every inch of the corner; the fluctuations were turbulent by inaudible spells, sweeping through every space.
However, no matter how careful they carefully scanned the magnificent and tall building for several rounds, they did not gain any gains.
If it were an ordinary person, after so much effort, half of the castle had to be searched, but there was no gain. He probably would have been angry long ago, but Alan and the man in black robe did not, without anger, without depression, a calm face and a normal expression.
They know very well what they are doing and how difficult it is to do this.
If it was really easy to discover, they wouldn't believe it. After all, if the blood clans in Dilno City were so unbearable, how could these blood clans have been rooted in Dilno City for hundreds of years? Is it all up to the support of the Tilros family?
So they just beg grass and beat rabbits. It’s better to have any, but it’s better not to have any.
If they have collected enough information or created a huge chaos when they left, the effect is no less than finding the gap between Tilros and these blood clans.
Allen said in a voice transmission to the man in black, "No discovery."
"Neither I."
"Okay, change the place."
After a brief exchange, the two prepared to leave and continue to explore the enemy's great cause.
But to be honest, Alan did not feel any frustration or depression at the loss of anything, but was a little happy.
Because from their current exploration, he could clearly find that the blood clan forces entrenched in this ancient castle were not as strong as he imagined.
Indeed, perhaps because of the racial characteristics of the blood clan and their indulgent nature, there are many black iron-level blood clans on duty in this castle, and even the peak of the Black Iron-level existence Alan has seen nearly ten.
This is just the distribution of personnel in the first half of the castle, not all.
It is conceivable how powerful the blood clan in this castle is.
But all this is not worth worrying about Allen, and it is not even taken to Allen's heart.
After all, the Black Iron Level that has not entered the silver level, for the silver level strongman, there are really as many kills as possible.
Perhaps the Black Iron-level extraordinary people who have magic tools and extraordinary means beyond the Black Iron-level can barely compete with the Silver-level, but this cannot change their ultimate destiny for defeat.
Therefore, Alan's most important thing is how to deal with the possible foundation of the blood clan, such as the [Immortal Sacred Mark] left by the ancestors of which generation, or the golden magic tool left by the strongest ancestors for future generations as foundation.
These are the existences that Allen needs to pay attention to.
After all, when the train was heading south before, when Allen was fighting with people on the roof, he was suppressed by [Immortal Saint Marks·Rule Power (Remember)].
This made Allen carefully consider the possibility that the other party might hold a complete [Immortal Shrine] and think about the corresponding response methods.
Of course, that's all that can make Alan care about.
Apart from that, the others are all floating clouds.
Even those who are at the peak of the Black Iron Level are nothing in his opinion. After all, not everyone can explode at critical moments like Reynard.
Although the necessary way to advance to silver in the Black Iron Level is to find hope in despair, discover miracles in the dead silence, light up the spark of will in the impossible, awaken the soul, and forge the power of miracles.
However, just like this, a group of unjust souls are entangled, mentally ignorant, and full of strength is a beast that has been enhanced with the vitality of the human race. I really think too much about this.
Their spirit and body have not met the necessary conditions for advancing silver, so how can they explode in desperate situations and complete a reversal?
Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed, and Alan was in a daze, as if he had understood the reason why the blood clans surrendered to the empire.
To be continued...
