Edge of the Apocalypse

Among the nobles, above the celebrities, there is a territory allocated to them by the Federation on Babylon as the foundation of the family's foundation and a status symbol. Alan was stunned when he saw Bethkod's territory. Looking down from the ramp on which the speeder was driving, it was located in the middle of an open valley, like a small town.

The town is not grand, but refined and elegant. The architectural style is mostly Gothic. Except for the ordinary residential buildings, the small buildings in the town, such as the bell tower or the church, are all decorated with colorful glass curtain walls, huge French windows, and those long and winding roads. corridor. As for the corners of the building, the stone sculptures with angels or flowers are even more varied.

The main road is spacious and flat, running through the east and west ends of the town, with a gorgeous fountain in the middle, surrounded by benches for people to rest. On both sides of the main road are sidewalks paved with cobblestones, and next to them are green belts planted with tall trees. The town is very prosperous, and there are various types of shops, awnings, shop signs, and potted plants everywhere. The streets are full of vigor and vitality.

Just behind the town, there is a majestic mountain. The peaks are soaring, and the power is about to penetrate the clouds. The top of the peak is silvery white, with snow all year round. Below the snow line, it is covered by woods, with large green patches extending to the foot of the rolling hills, and finally bordering the valley.

At the foot of the mountain, a majestic castle was built according to the situation. The old castle is dominated by dark walls. The towering minarets and the family flags flying on the commanding heights all show the majesty and heritage of this ancient family to the world.

"That was the small town of Levine. There were a few relatives of collateral families living in the town, but most of them were people who served the huge Beskard family. They included maids, servants, artisans, chefs, Guards, etc. As for Ugalle Castle, it is the place where the master and the direct members of the family live. The castle itself is equivalent to a fortress, which contains towers, artillery fortresses, barracks, warehouses, arsenals, command halls, and everyone’s Living areas and other areas. Among them, there are no fewer than a hundred hidden passages. Those who have just moved into the castle will need to spend more than half a year at the earliest to get familiar with the location of each area, otherwise it is extremely easy to get lost in it. "The butler Hessing introduced Allen to the brief of Bethkod's territory. When talking about these things, the old butler's face was glistening and fascinating: "Oh, yes. The castle is Beth. Kod’s first patriarch Ujal-sama built it, so for more than two hundred years, the name of Ujal-sama has been used for the castle."

Allen sighed softly: "Do all the great nobles have such a large territory? If such resources are used on the surface..."

"Young Master Allen, this territory, and Beskod's wealth are what this family deserves. You haven't grown up in this family, so you don't know what Beskod has paid for the entire Federation. But it doesn’t matter, you will gradually understand these things in the future. Yes, like Bethkode, the great nobles who can obtain independent territorial rights are all contributing to the Federation and humanity, so they have this privilege. As for territories The size of the island is naturally proportional to what they paid. Don’t be surprised. If it is a wealthy family, they even have their own floating islands. Of course, the orbits of those floating islands are far above Babylon, which is usually difficult to see."

Little Allen's head can't turn around for a while, and there are floating islands on the floating islands. Babylon is already so prosperous. How magnificent are those floating islands dedicated to the rich? It's no wonder that the contradiction between the surface and the floating island has not been resolved, and the gap between the two is like a cloud of mud. How can the biennial death ring be alleviated.

The speeding car had already drove into the small town of Levin along the road. There were people passing through the town, and occasionally a few children laughed and chased each other, their faces filled with innocence and joy in the sun. Allen couldn't help but envy that they could be so lucky to be born in Babylon, knowing that when he was about the same age as these children, he had to roam the dangerous wilderness with the snow wolves to hunt prey and solve food and clothing.

Looking at this small town again, according to Heising, there are two thousand people in this town, and there are nearly one thousand people in the Family Guard under Bethkode alone. Even so on Babylon, it can be seen that the Beskard family is strong. As for the ancient castle of Ugal, it is like an ancient beast hung at the foot of the mountain, which may attack people at any time.

Although it is an old castle, but now the castle has used many technologies and facilities linked to the times. For example, the Rubik's Cube energy furnace is buried under the old castle and provides energy for the entire castle and the town of Levin. As for the rapid-fire particle machine guns and ion cannons in the tower cannons, if the real strength of the fortress is misjudged because of its ancient appearance, no matter which invader is, it will pay a heavy price for it.

After all, in Ugalle Castle, he even has his own two harrier frigates. You must know that on Babylon, magical spaceships, especially attack-type spaceships, are strictly regulated resources.

When the speed car arrived at the main gate of the castle, the gate opened on its own, and behind the gate was an open-air square paved with cobblestones. In a fountain on the square, a statue of Ugal, Beskard's first patriarch, was erected. Fully armed family guards appear around the square and in the shadow of certain buildings. Once the square is attacked, these guards can make a full counterattack in a very short time.

Allen got out of the car and crossed the square under Heising's leadership and entered the interior of the castle. There are many long and winding corridors inside the castle, and the bright wall lamps on both sides make the space inside the fort bright as day even when there is no sunlight. The floor of the corridor is covered with long carpets, and the wall on the left hand side is decorated with murals or armor every ten meters.

Ugalle Castle is majestic in appearance, refined and elegant inside, and you can feel the heritage of the famous door in any detail. However, there are also disadvantages. For example, elevators will not be seen in castles. After all, the pattern of some places cannot be changed. Moreover, installing elevators in an old castle is indeed nondescript. So Alan could only follow Heising and step onto the spiral staircase of the main building of the castle.

Finally, Allen was taken to Horn's study. Opening the door, Horn was standing in front of the French window, looking at the front of the castle and the small town of Levin. Haising gently closed the door for them, Horn turned his head and smiled gently: "Come here to me."

Alan walked over and Horn pushed him to the window and said, "Tell me, boy, what do you see?"

The line of sight first fell on the woods in front of the castle and the town, and then into the town of Levin. Xuan climbed up again, and Allen saw Feng Juan Yunshu, and felt that his mind was infinitely spread out, and the world seemed to have no limits.

Horn saw him looking up at the sky and nodded: "A person's mind determines the achievement, Alan, you can pretend to be a world without being stuck in a fort and a town. This is great. I don't know how many kids come here. When I arrive at the castle, I always hang around on the ancient pieces of Liancheng, and I am already happy to see them. I don’t know how such a narrow vision can be a great task."

"But you have to remember that in Beth Cordery, you are not the only one who saw the sky, and there are also those who hold a piece of starry sky." Horn patted his shoulder and said: "I have asked people to attack you back then. Traces of the predator in town."

Alan looked at him in surprise, and Horn calmly said: "You want to avenge your mother. As a father, I don't want to recover this blood debt for my daughter. But I will respect your decision when I find their traces. , I will forward all the information to you. As for all the expenses, it is considered your advance payment."

"Master... Grandpa." Allen called out the words jerkily, "Can I ask you to investigate another matter."

"Oh, you said." Horn raised his eyebrows.

"I want to find a hunting group, but they sold me to a man named Hearn, so that he can take me to replace his son in the death ring." Allen said solemnly: "I have something to send to them. There, now, it’s time to get it back. However, I don’t know their group name..."

"It's okay." Horn coldly snorted, "It's only half a year. It's not difficult to track down the news of such a hunting group~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I also want to see who it is that is not eye-opening. , Dare to trade with my grandson!"

He was obviously really angry, and an unspeakable pressure suddenly flooded the study. Horn snorted again before calming down his anger: "I will let Heising tell you when there is news, and I will handle these two things for you. Now, I hope you can listen to my advice."

"I'm listening."

"About you, I will make it public within the family later. But even so, you can't be directly included in the heir sequence. After all, I had expelled Lanny from the family back then. If you want to return, you must take it out. The strength of the family elders can be persuaded. The victory of the death ring is one, but it is not enough. So I want to arrange you to the Dawn Blade Academy, which is a school that trains talents for the children of our family. If you can successfully graduate from it, Then, this will serve as an important evidence for a family to assess your ability.” Horn paused, and then laughed: “Besides, as a family leader, fighting alone is not enough. Allen, you have to learn. There are still many things."

Allen nodded and said, "I really want to learn a lot."

"Then you agree?"

"I can't find a reason for rejection." Allen said with a hand.

Horn laughed, nodded and said, "Very well, you are better than Lanny at this point. God knows how much I lost my tongue in order to send her to the academy."

Speaking of this name accidentally, the two grandparents fell into silence together. Fortunately, the knock on the door broke the solemn atmosphere in the room.

"Come in." Horn said.

Haixin pushed in and nodded, "Master, they are all here."

Horn said "um" and put his hand on Alan's shoulder and said, "Go, let me introduce your mother's brother to you. And, some of our old friends in Bethkode."
