Among the aristocrats, above the famous family, all have a territory allocated to them by the Federation on Babylon, as the foundation of the family foundation and a symbol of status. Allen was stunned when he saw Beth Keld's territory. Looking down from the ramp where the speeding car was driving, it looked like a small town in the middle of an open valley.
The town is not grand, but delicate and elegant. The architectural style is mostly Gothic. Except for the ordinary dwellings, all the unique buildings in the town, such as bell towers or churches, are all decorated with colored glass curtain walls, huge floor-to-ceiling windows and those long and tortuous aisles. corridor. As for the corners of the building, those stone sculptures carved 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, and benches around it for people to rest. On both sides of the main road are paved sidewalks with cobblestones, and next to it is a green belt with tall trees. The town is very prosperous, with various types of shops, awnings, shop signs, and potted plants everywhere. The streets are full of people, full of vitality.
Just behind the town is a majestic mountain. The mountain peak is towering, and it is about to pierce the clouds. The tip of the peak is silvery white, but it is covered with snow all the year round. Below the snow line, it is covered by woods, and large green patches extend to the rolling foothills and finally border the valley.
Just at the foot of the mountain, a majestic castle was built according to the situation. The dark walls of the castle are the main color, and the towering spiers and family flags flying on the commanding heights all show the majesty and heritage of this ancient family to the world.
"That is the small town of Levin. There are several relatives of collateral families living in the town, but most of them are those who serve the huge family of Bethkind. Among them are maids, servants, craftsmen, cooks, Guards, etc. As for the Ugarle Castle, it is the place where the lord and the immediate family members live. The castle itself is equal to a fortress, which includes towers, artillery forts, military depots, warehouses, armament arsenals, command halls and all the adults. Living areas and other areas. Among them, there are no less than a hundred secret passages. People who have just moved into the castle will spend at least half a year before they are familiar with the location of each area, otherwise it is very easy to get lost inside. "The butler Hai Xin introduced the general situation of Beth Kede's territory for Alan. When he talked about these things, the old butler's face glowed with a slight color: "Oh, that's right. The castle is Beth Kede It was built by Kede’s first patriarch, Lord Ugal, so for more than two hundred years, the castle has continued to use the name of the patriarch Ugal.”
Allen sighed softly: "Are all the great nobles' territories so large? If such resources are used on the surface..."
"Master Allen, this territory and Bethkind's wealth are what this family deserves. You have never grown up in this family, so you don't know what Bethkind has paid for the entire Federation. But it doesn't matter, you will gradually understand these things in the future. Yes, like Bethkind, the great nobles who can obtain independent territorial rights have contributed to the Federation and mankind, so they have this privilege. As for the territory The size of the island is naturally proportional to what they paid. Please don’t be surprised, if they are wealthy, they even have their own floating islands. Of course, the orbits of those floating islands are far above Babylon, and it is difficult to see them at ordinary times.”
Little Alan couldn't turn his head around for a while, there was actually a floating island on top of the floating island, Babylon
It is already so prosperous, how magnificent should those floating islands dedicated to wealthy families be? It's no wonder that the conflict between the surface and the floating island has been unresolved. The gap between the two is like clouds and mud, and how can the death ring held every two years can be alleviated.
The speeding car has already driven into the small town of Levin along the highway. There are pedestrians passing by in the town, occasionally a few children laughing and chasing each other, their faces are full of innocence and joy under the sun. Allen couldn't help but envy them that they were so lucky to be born in Babylon. You must know that when he was about the same age as these children, he had to haunt the dangerous wilderness with snow wolves to hunt prey and solve food and clothing.
Looking at this small town again, according to Hai Xin, there are two thousand people in this town, and there are nearly a thousand people in the family guard belonging to Beth Kede alone. This is the case in Babylon, which shows the strength of the Bethkind family. As for the ancient castle of Ugal, it is like an ancient beast dormant at the foot of the mountain, which may attack people violently at any time.
Although it is an ancient castle, the castle has already used many technologies and facilities linked to the times. For example, the Rubik's cube energy furnace buried under the castle provides energy for the entire castle and the town of Levin. As for the rapid-fire particle machine guns and ion cannons in those tower fortresses, it's not a problem. If the fortress's true strength is misjudged because of its ancient appearance, no matter which invader it is, it will pay a heavy price for it.
After all, in Ugal Castle, it even has its own two Harrier Eagle frigates. You must know that on Babylon, mana airships, especially attack-type airships, are strictly regulated resources.
When the flying car arrived at the main entrance of the castle, the gate opened by itself, and behind it was an open-air square paved with cobblestones. In a fountain on the square, there is a statue of Ugarle, the first patriarch of Beth Kede. Fully armed family guards haunt the square and under the shadow of certain buildings. Once the square is attacked, these guards can make a sufficient counterattack in a very short time.
Allen got out of the car, led by Hexin, walked through the square, and entered 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 castle as 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.
The Ugal Castle has a majestic appearance and an exquisite and elegant interior. You can feel the heritage of the famous family in every detail. However, there are also flaws, such as elevators, which cannot be seen in castles. After all, the layout of some places cannot be changed, not to mention that it is indeed nondescript to install elevators in an old castle. So Allen could only follow behind Hexin and set foot on the spiral stairs of the main building of the castle.
In the end, Allen was taken to Horn's study. After opening the door, Horn was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the front of the castle and the town of Levin. Hai Xin gently closed the door for them, Horn turned his head and showed a gentle smile: "Come over to me."
Allen walked over, Horn pushed him to the window and said, "Tell me, kid, what did you see?"
The line of sight first fell on the woods between the castle and the town, and then into the town of Levin. Spinning up again, Allen saw the wind and clouds, and suddenly felt that his mind was spreading infinitely, and the world seemed to have no limit.
Seeing him looking up at the sky, Horn nodded and said, "A person's mind determines his achievement, Alan
, you can pretend to be a world, and you are not limited to one castle and one town, which is very good. I don't know how many boys come to the castle, they always linger on those ancient documents, and they are already happy to send them off, but they don't know how such a narrow vision is worthy of a big responsibility. "
"But you have to remember that in Beth Codery, you are not the only one who saw the sky, and there are also those who pretend to be a starry sky." Horn patted him on the shoulder and said: "I have already asked people to investigate the attack on you back then. There are traces of the predators in the town."
Allen looked at him in surprise, and Horn said indifferently: "You want to avenge your mother. As a father, why don't I want to recover this blood debt for my daughter. But I will respect your decision. When I find their traces , I will pass on all the information to you. As for all the expenses, it is your advance payment."
"Grandpa... Grandpa." Allen called out the word jerky: "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 could take me instead of his son to participate in the death ring." Alan said in a deep voice, "I have something left with them There, now, it's time to bring it back. I don't know their group name though..."
"It doesn't matter." Horn snorted coldly: "It's only half a year, and it's not difficult to track down the news of such a hunting group. I also want to see which blind guy dares to take my grandson Make a deal!"
He was obviously really angry, and an unspeakable pressure immediately flooded the study. Horn snorted again before calming down his anger: "I'll let Haixin tell you if there's news, and I'll deal with these two matters for you. Now, I hope you can listen to my suggestion."
"I'm listening."
"About you, I will make it public within the family later. But even so, you cannot be directly included in the heir sequence. After all, I have expelled Lan Ni from the family back then. If you want to return, you must show The strength of the family elders can be persuaded. The winner of the death arena is one, but it is not enough. So I want to arrange you to go to Dawn Blade Academy, which is a school dedicated to cultivating talents for the children of our family. If you can successfully graduate from it, Then, this will serve as an important proof for a family to evaluate your ability." Horn paused, then laughed: "Besides, as the leader of a family, it is not enough to just be able to fight. Alan, you have to learn There are many more things.”
Allen nodded and said, "I do have a lot to learn."
"So you agree?"
"I can't find a reason to refuse." Allen spread his hands.
Horn laughed, nodded and said: "Very well, you are much more straightforward than Lanny in this regard. God knows how much I lost my tongue in order to send her to the academy."
Unintentionally mentioned this name, but the grandfather and grandson fell into silence together. Fortunately, there was a knock on the door, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room.
"Come in." Horn said.
Hai Xin pushed the door and entered, nodded and said: "Master, they are already here."
Horn said "hmm", put his hand on Allen's shoulder and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to your mother's brother. And, there are also some old friends of our Bethkind."
