The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

The Atlas Mountains are divided into two sections. The Little Atlas Mountain, which runs from north to south, is about 1,600 miles away. From the east to the north, the mountains below are the vast hills, lakes and basins, which become the Yareer Plateau and the Orc. The natural dividing line between grasslands. The east-west Great Atlas Mountain is east-west, starting from the North Sea in the west, and connected to the small Atlas Mountain in the northeast corner of the Yarui Plateau in the east. It stretches for nearly 3,000 miles and has an average altitude of more than 5000 meters. It is the longest mountain range on the continent of Gabia.

To the north of the Great Atlas is the legendary place of Yongdong, which is covered with snow and icebergs that do not change all year round. Even the average temperature in summer can be fatal to ordinary people. It is basically a restricted zone of civilization. No one can survive there, let alone breed race and civilization.

Of course, this is just common sense. Whether it was the war of gods and demons in the first era or the enlightenment war of the second era, all the defeaters jumped over the towering Atlas Mountains and disappeared after a perennial ice storm with a semi-suicide gesture. After all, here is a permanent neutral, the realm of the mountain **** Atlas and the goddess of storm Agira, neither the gods of the Holy Spirit nor the Alliance of Dawn, will not venture over the mountains and continue to pursue endlessly.

In other words, in the eyes of the winners, when the losers fled to the land of eternal winter, they were already dead.

Of course, this is only judged by common sense.

Ordinary people may not be able to survive in the permafrost, but who can guarantee those beasts with thick skin, foreign bodies and even demons will not survive the fittest in the ice, snow, and so on. Perhaps a new species will also be born ... At least Virginia has a large number of troops stationed along the line of the Great Atlas Mountains, and many lords born with royal knights have been sealed here. The Nords are more surplus. Isn't it possible to send these people to pick up swan dung?

"The Lord of Lengshanbao, Marquis Hector Ostia, is the most famous and most powerful of the Northern Lords of the Empire.

He was originally just a civilian born. After grasping the power of anger again, he joined the Royal Knights of Nord, and later made great achievements in successive battles with the orcs. Emperor Otto later gave him the high rank of the marquis, as well as a northern territory that did not match the title.

Of course, such newly-feudal aristocracy known as "royal lords" could not have had too much feudal land.

The Marquis of Hector ’s enclosure was in a valley, within a radius of a hundred miles, under the jurisdiction of a castle, a small town and a dozen villages, because the land was too barren. There are not too many crops to grow, and the population is less than 10,000. According to common sense, this guy must have offended the emperor to be sent to this place where the bird does not shit, but it is not the case.

The Marquis of Hector maintains a professional army of nearly two thousand people. There are also many good players among his family members. It is said that there are also old officers who retired from the heavy warriors. Without the financial support of zhōngyāng, the income of the land alone would not be able to support so many people.

The Marquis of Hector does not have to pay taxes to zhōngyāng. Not only that, he can also get a huge amount of financial appropriation every year. The Bilade Valley, his fiefdom, was at the foot of the Nord's Holy Peak Sky Dome. Standing in the town, as long as it catches a clear weather, you can even see the towers of the Heavenly Sky Sanctuary in the distant peak through misty clouds. For this reason. Hector is obliged to protect the safety of all pilgrims who visit the Heavenly Sanctuary.

In addition, although his back cover is only a big slap, the borders of thousands of miles near him are theoretically his defense areas. Protect civilians from snow mountains. Or the attack of various monsters and monsters behind the snow mountain, which is also one of his important duties. At the necessary moment. He was even "." To the extent that he could issue a conscription order to all northern border provinces without the imperial order.

Only those who have the absolute trust of the emperor can have such power. Therefore, not only did Marquis Hector not feel that he was exiled, but he had a faint sense of pride.

of course. The Marquis also has his own melancholy, about the financial problems of the territory.

Although he can get nearly 10,000 Nord gold coins allocated by zhōngyāng every year, he still has a lot of surplus to pay for all the territory and military expenses. In fact, in the past ten years, he has never been troubled by money.

The reason why the marquise was troubled was that his territory was too barren and the territories were too poor. Not only did he not receive any taxes, he also had to take a portion of zhōngyāng's financial appropriation for food relief, otherwise someone might starve to death every year. Doesn't it seem that this lord is very incompetent if it goes on like this?

"This is no way." The Marquis' steward said to him: "Our land is not fertile and can't afford too many farmers. The geographical location is also very remote, and there are no special products, although the pilgrimage guarding the Heavenly Dome Sanctuary Road, but in the final analysis, there are only a few pilgrims coming every year, and there will not be much wealth. "

All in all, considering common sense thinking, the territory of Marquis Hector is unlikely to prosper ...

The duties of Marquis Hector and himself are very important to the empire, but his territory is not very important.

Just one month before the end of the summer, a group of ten travelers visited the town of Bilder, they were all young people in their twenties, men and women, even And tauren. They soon came to the front of the Marquis ’castle and called the door. The blonde girl with silver armor in her head was petite," Under the Mount Atlas "in the Crystal Palace of the Kingdom of Heaven, but she was majestic but inviolable, almost Then the guard who guarded the door knelt scared. When the Marquis hurried over, he could not help seeing the girl's appearance.

"Uncle Hector, don't you know this face?"

"... It's been ten years since I saw you, Your Royal Highness Altria, and you have grown up!"

On this day, the Marquis House welcomed the most distinguished guests in five years. The last royal visit came when Emperor Otto blocked the northern border five years ago. As for the last time Hector met Artoria, it was when he had just made a merit award ten years ago and came to Camello to accept the fief and the title. At that time Altria was just a little loli under ten years old.

After hearing what Altria expressed. The Marquis could not help but stunned, and after a while he smiled comfortably: "Maybe when I meet next time. I will call you His Majesty. Believe that the future empire will have a brand new under your leadership Look. "

This sounds too official and too polite. Altoria naturally showed a helpless smile: "Uncle Hector, you know, I always wanted to be a knight, and I didn't have the psychological preparation for this ... but my father and brother seemed to I have great expectations for me. If not, if this is the responsibility I have to fulfill, I will not shrink back. "

"Then your consciousness is still not enough!" The Marquis stared straight at Altria's dark green pupils and said very politely: "His Royal Highness, you should now know why this trial road exists? "

"..." This way of turning around and turning around seems to be a bit challenging the limit of natural mind. Altria frowned with exquisite brows, and the Marquis did not answer. It seemed that the other party thought about it, turning to Lu Xi: "Young man, should you be a magician from the Federation?" Heaven's Crystal Palace ""

"Luxe Belencaster, the two-star magician of the Learning Alliance, pays tribute to you and wishes you always good health, Lord Marquis."

"Although I ’m just a countryman in the extreme north, Master Belencaster ’s name has also been heard. Since you have his last name, it ’s his successor. The team has an excellent magic Teachers, resilience and survivability can be improved many times, and I am more or less relieved ... Your Royal Highness Altria pleased you. "The expression of Marquis Hector ’s was friendly but not overly enthusiastic, but the tone Thanks to the ingredients is still very obvious.

There is more than one magician in the team. It's just that you also regard Seychelor as my ordinary subordinate a ...

"Listening to your opinion, this road of trial is not so easy!"

"I haven't been there for good or bad. Of course, it's not easy to comment directly." The Marquis spread his hands and smiled: "However, the last time the back door of the Heavenly Sanctuary was opened 30 years ago. His Majesty Otto took over. At the time of the reserve. Your majesty should have been 25 years old that year? Is he already the best fighter of the empire? He took nine teammates into the test place with enthusiasm, but when he came back a month later There are only five people left, and everyone has only half a life left, including His Majesty. "

Lu Xi could almost obviously hear the spitting swallowing from his ears. It should be that a companion was frightened and could not help but rolled his eyes and shook his head slightly. This kind of copy is very ridiculous at first glance. It would be strange if the dead didn't die before the protagonist appeared, otherwise how can he experience the prowess of the protagonist?

"What is there in there? Didn't your father tell you?" Lu Xi looked at Altria.

"He didn't say, but this is no secret." Altoria said: "The so-called road of trial is to get people from the heavenly sanctuary" into the back of the Atlas Mountains and pass through The ice valleys and caves inside reached the Yingling Hall, which is the highest point in the mountains. I heard that the temple was built by the mountain **** Atlas in ancient times, and it was the mortal that led to the soul of the Nords to Songjiade. The door. Just enter there and get the approval of the ancestors and spirits, the Atlas of My Body will be able to light up, and become the legal heir to the Virginia empire. "

"In ice valleys and caves ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ cold, avalanches, earthquakes, etc. can become fatal enemies, and as the snow melts and accumulates, the route inside changes every day, even less There may be some maps left. That is to say, the experience of His Majesty Otto cannot provide experience for His Royal Highness Altria. "Marquis said:" Of course, you also need to pay attention to the various habitats in the mountains All kinds of demons and ghosts."

"Demons and monsters?" Lu Xi couldn't help but frown: "There will be monsters among such mountains?"

"Of course. Snow monsters, ice giants, blue monsters, white ghosts ... I don't know who these monsters were hatched from, or whether these guys' nests are in the mountains or behind the mountains, but every year I will I have fought several battles with these ghosts running down the mountain, and have fought up and down the mountain several times. Of course, every time I entered the ground is not deep, there should be more in the depths of the mountains. "

"Well, this is more like a copy." Lu Xi looked at Altria without any fear, and smiled, "How do you want to continue?"

"This is of course. You can't fight back for the sake of a few monsters." Altoria's voice was not loud, but her attitude was very firm: "And haven't I said? As long as you are there, I will be nothing Fear. "To be continued.
