Chapter 38 Ross Castle(2/5)
It's like hundreds of years of history.
The characters that Jiexi just mentioned, together with the rich history of this world, flew backwards with the tall city walls and arches above their heads.
The wheels are rotating.
It made a heavy sound.
Just like the trajectory of history.
Turned to this day.
In Robin's eyes, the two rows of buildings extended inward and arranged neatly, like dedicated soldiers.
In front of them was a green grass.
The flowers in it are in full bloom and are bright and dazzling in the lawn.
The shrubs around were extremely neatly trimmed.
According to Robin's estimate, the lawn is at least as big as four football fields.
After the carriage entered the city gate, it circled along the lawn and flew past the building on the east side.
Some of those buildings are six or seven floors tall, with mahogany windows clearly visible.
I can't count how many rooms there are for a while.
Rowling hugged Robin's arms and was amazed.
It's like being in a fairy tale world.
"There is a magic whistle on each corner of the city wall," Jiexi explained, "Just like when we entered Haoyue City, it was to prevent the mage from invading. Then..."
She raised her hand and held it up to guide them to the eastward complex.
"This is the lower area of the castle, mainly used for defense and for the guards to live in." After saying that, Jiexi pointed them at the bottom of the building complex with her fingers.
Robin noticed that under this row of walls, there was a stone door every once in a while.
Speaking of which, the door has a very strange style, it is an open triangle.
It is big inside and narrow outside, like two doors deliberately covering it.
"This kind of city gate structure is actually for defense," Jiexi looked proud. "Every ten meters, there are similar fortifications here. Both sides are tamped with earth, which is difficult to break from the outside. Moreover, these doors are wide inside and narrow outside, which also makes it easier for the guards to form a small-scale advantage of the number of people."
I see.
Robin nodded, and had to admire the wisdom of the people who built this castle back then.
"Haoyue City has suffered a lot of disasters. There have been several civil strife in history and several times when enemy troops are at the city. In addition to the powerful soldiers we already have, the strong fortress is also an important reason why we can stick to it."
While listening to Jiexi's explanation, Robin translated it to Rowling in Chinese.
The little girl's eyes were shiny and she listened with relish.
"Then……"
The carriage turned a corner and gradually ran upwards.
As the terrain climbed, the previous building complex gradually shrank in the eyes.
It was not until this time that Robin saw the general layout of Rose Castle—
The outer circle is a very regular square, the building complex and the city wall are integrated, and there are tall magic whistle towers at four corners.
There are also various hollow windows and warning centers above the m-shaped arch.
And inside, it is basically an irregular quadrilateral that climbs upwards.
Lush forests are planted at the junction of large and small urban areas.
"We are about to enter the inner area of Ross Castle, and because of the higher terrain," Jexi showed a charming smile, "we also call it the upper area."
Robin nodded. If it weren't for his good memory, he would have been lost when he came to this place.
In his and his sister's sight, a circular tower was seen from afar.
The white walls, luxurious window lattices decorated above, and lightning rods standing on the top are vaguely visible.
"That must be where the king lives." Rowling called.
Jiexi smiled slightly. Although she couldn't understand her words, she could roughly guess that Rowling was very interested in this building.
"You must not guess its purpose." The courtier from the king's personal guard smiled mysteriously and slyly.
Alsé next to him let out a cold snort and lowered the brim of his hat.
Judging from her behavior, she either takes it as accustomed to it and doesn't blame her, or she looks at it quite fast.
Especially Arsé's cold snorkeling just now made Robin feel a different feeling.
The next second, Jiexi's voice rang in his ears, telling him the answer-
"That round tower is used to imprison political enemies."
Robin was slightly stunned and then laughed.
He suddenly understood what Alce's cold snorting was just now.
Perhaps for her, this is an extremely dirty and filthy place.
"It's indeed unexpected, Lord Jexi."
Robin translated what Jiexi said just now to his sister, and the little girl looked surprised.
"This round tower looks too luxurious, right? And..." Rowling pointed his finger above the round tower.
On that high point, an ethereal classic star-moon flag embroidered with Itnell flutters in the wind.
Moreover, the flag was surprisingly large, more larger than what they had seen on the outer wall of Haoyue City before.
"Because the identities of those political enemies are very important and noble, the internal facilities of this round tower are actually very luxurious." Jiexi explained their doubts, "To be precise, those who have been detained here are all very amazing prisoners.
Feel sorry."
Jiexi gave a slight slight salute, then pushed her index finger and pushed her glasses on her face, "Although it sounds a bit weird, I can only use the word "magnificent".
The eldest daughter of King Seajar, the confessor, was imprisoned here [Joanna Ross].
He also imprisoned the famous legendary consul of the Secred [Dolores Peg] in history.
Even Sirius [Viven], the supreme lord of the blasphemer, lived here for a while.
"Wein also..." Robin looked at her in confusion, "She is so powerful..."
"No," Jiexi smiled slightly, "Man is not born powerful. Weiwen was just Lopez's legendary wizard."
"More than three hundred years ago?" Robin suddenly understood a little.
In other words, Weiwen was not a blasphemer when she was locked up here.
Not that powerful yet.
"Yes, more than three hundred years ago." A blurred mist appeared in Jiexi's eyes. "It was a legendary era. As Lopez's political enemy, Vivan was imprisoned here for attacking King Helen Ross. But..."
She sighed, "Who could have thought that Weiwen would become a blasphemer and become so powerful."
Yes, who would have thought of it?
Robin smiled faintly.
Even he himself felt incredible.
He and his sister would be in such a fantastic world.
"Under the round tower, there is a deep well hidden." Jiexi continued to explain,"
Because the former guards were worried that they would not have water to drink after being besieged for a long time, they dug deep canals and dug many wells.
The previous round tower was surrounded by a moat.
Now the moat has been filled with green grass and flowers.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see the garden blooming in winter.”
Jiexi glanced at the top of the round tower and fell on the starry and moon flag waving in the wind.
"When Rose Castle welcomes important guests, royal flags will be hung on the round stone tower of the castle."
"Important guest..." Robin suddenly realized and quickly added, "Thank you, His Majesty King, Jiexi, you really make us flattered."
"What else is more important than you?" Jiexi smiled slightly, "Dear Lord Selected."
...
The carriage circled the tall white tower, crossed the white stone road and an exquisite garden, and stopped.
"Sir Robin, we're here."
Jiexi gave a slight gift, then opened the car door and got out.
She replied to her usual grace and calmness, standing outside the carriage, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand and reaching towards Robin with the other.
Make a greeting gesture.
"Sir Robin. Welcome to King's Hall."
