Chapter 159 Baron’s Castle and Meeting [Please subscribe]

They were riding in a luxurious two-wheel carriage with soft interior decoration.

Hanging high outside were two flags holding birds on their wrists.

This is the city emblem of the city of Magtan, and is often used as the status flag of Baron Bezos Chebman in the city.

Carriages hoisted with flags could pass unimpeded through the gates of several circles in the city.

Ophelia sat in her original position, lifting the gauze curtain from time to time to look at the scene outside.

To enter the core area of ​​the first circle from the third circle, you have to pass through less than half of the city.

Chen Xuan didn't squint his eyes, but silently looked at the snake waiter sitting opposite with a sinister look on his face.

This guy had his eyes closed, his arms clasped in front of him, his chest raised and his head raised, paying great attention to his posture.

It's just that snakes are naturally weird and gloomy in appearance, and they don't look like good things.

So Mr. Chen activated [Insight] by the way.

[One of Baron Bezos’s butlers, Snake Man Ogne Reeves]

The first time [Insight] I only got rough information.

Chen Xuan took a look and started again.

The golden subtitles appear again, this time the content is more detailed.

[A hostile snake man who usually serves the trysts of Ursula and Baron Bezos]

…

After reading the feedback from [Insight], Chen Xuan suddenly had a clear idea.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the snake man named Ogne Reeves suddenly opened his eyes.

A pair of dark yellow vertical pupils contracted and then relaxed.

This guy gave Chen Xuan a cold look, and then closed his eyes again.

Ophelia looked at the snake man, then tilted her head.

The master and servant communicated vaguely through their eyes and decided to remain silent.

The sound of horses' hooves tapping the ground and the friction of wheels running over the ground echoed in the carriage.

However, the driving process was not too bumpy, at least it was much better than Chen Xuan imagined.

Apparently the carriage they were riding in was not as simple as it seemed.

As the lord of Magtan City, Baron Bezos, it is not difficult to get a few carriages specially built with rune technology.

The car ride ended in this silent and awkward atmosphere.

The carriage passed two city gates one after another, and after entering the first circle, it headed towards the Baron's Castle in the core area.

The road leading to the core area is very wide and can accommodate at least six horse-drawn carriages.

The ground is paved with huge square stones, filled with some kind of clay that becomes harder after drying.

Therefore, you can see many cracks on the ground from time to time.

But the road itself is generally clean and smooth, at least much better than the roads in the second and third circles.

The surrounding buildings are also taller, and there are fewer houses with a mixture of wood and stone. Most of them are stone buildings with spires and columns, with a floor height of about 2 to 5 stories.

Occasionally, there will be a round tower twenty or thirty meters high, with archers holding longbows standing guard above.

An eye-catching red lane dividing line was painted in the middle of this road, dividing it into two.

Many state soldiers and lightly-armed riders were divided into small groups and conducted serious and meticulous patrols in the area.

The closer you get to the core area, the denser the surrounding defense towers will be.

Just from where Chen Xuan and Ophelia were, they could see seven or eight towers along the way.

Each tower can be transformed into a battle fortress and defense node in times of emergency.

Moreover, these towers are of different heights, so standing nearby does not seem out of place.

Lightly armed crossbowmen stood on the short tower, and several medium-sized crossbow machines were also arranged.

All the crossbow machines were equipped with crossbow arrows as thin as an arm, and they were all pointed diagonally at the sky.

There is also a safety device at the spring mechanism to ensure against accidental firing.

Only when entering wartime, the safety of these crossbows will be opened.

The carriage moved along the road without being interrogated by any state troops.

Under such circumstances, they quickly arrived at their destination.

There is actually a garden outside the baron's castle.

The entire garden is enclosed with a stone fence.

There are entrances and exits in four different directions.

Each entrance and exit is almost ten meters wide, which corresponds to the streets in four directions.

The gate is pushed by slide rails laid on the ground and is a hollow and carved iron gate.

This type of iron gate is mostly decorative and has little defensive power at all.

Don't worry if a fight breaks out. Just prepare a few groups of horses in advance to block the entrance and exit quickly.

And the castle itself has excellent defense capabilities.

It was a paramilitary residence built by nobles for war purposes!

There are not only "concentric structures" with polygons as the main body, but also multiple curtain walls and commanding towers.

It can be quickly turned into a battle fortress without modification during wartime.

A circle of decorative flowers is planted around the stone fence outside the garden.

The castle is located in the center of the garden.

The carriage drove in from the gate at the end of the road and walked along the path inside the garden for another two or three minutes before arriving at the large stable next to the castle.

The gardens around the castle are more like a small town or a group of buildings.

In addition to the majestic castle itself, there are also large stables, warehouses, and pools.

There are also several two-story stone buildings with flat appearance located on the left and right sides of the castle.

After getting off the carriage, the snake steward Ogne Reeves personally led the way.

In front of the main gate of the castle, a red carpet has been laid out, and it is also sprinkled with flower petals and fragrant flower dew, which fills the air with an extremely rich aroma.

A beautiful maid wearing a maid uniform stood waiting at the door.

There were also several snake waiters who were well-dressed and well-groomed and took the initiative to greet them.

Standing in the center of the door was a middle-aged man in a formal dress. He was smiling but did not come forward to greet him.

The snake waiters, together with the snake steward Ogne Reeves, welcomed Chen Xuan and Ophelia to the end of the red carpet.

"Standing in front of you is the lord of Magtan City, the baron of the Kingdom of Duroa, the continuation of the glory of the Chebman family..."

"...Lord Bezos Chebman!"

After a series of fancy titles, the snake man finally announced the name of Baron Bezos and at the same time made way to the red carpet.

Baron Bezos, who was standing at the door, stepped towards them.

The master and servant also stepped forward one after another.

The two parties happened to meet in the middle of the red carpet, and Chen Xuan stood half a step behind Ophelia.

After all, his role is to be the personal guard of the half-elf lady.

Private banquets for Naroa human nobles have their own set of corresponding etiquette procedures.

These are essential.

Baron Bezos came to stand in front of Ophelia.

The smart and beautiful half-elf eldest lady lifted her skirt and bowed slightly.

Then the baron took her right hand, brought it to her lips and kissed it gently.

"Welcome, beautiful Miss Ophelia."

In response, Ophelia just nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

Chen Xuan was silently sizing up Baron Bezos' appearance.

He looked to be no more than 40 years old, and his hair and temples were already gray.
