Hammer and butcher knife!

Enzo followed Lin Qi and the others into Lin Qi's family ancestral home. wWw.QuanBen-XiaoShuo.CoM Enzo has been curious about Lin Qi for three years. What kind of family can cultivate a top performer like Lin Qi

Enzo couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Lin Qi three years ago - he was threatened by the Knights of the Round Table. Four members of the Knights of the Round Table besieged Enzo and forced him to join the Knights of the Round Table. Enzo, who was well aware that the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, Dark Horse House, had a rich background and was unwilling to fall out with them, was defeated steadily by four swordsmen who were inferior to him in strength, and was stabbed in more than a dozen places.

Just when Enzo was about to be unable to resist, Lin Qi suddenly appeared with a few big men with rough faces and ferocious faces. They used the bricks they had just pulled out from the alley wall to smash the four swordsmen's heads with blood from behind, and then used The four swordsmen were knocked unconscious with iron-coated oak sticks, and finally their wrists and elbow joints were bruised with wooden sticks.

From then on, the four men could no longer use swords. They could barely cope with ordinary tasks, but once they used swords, their injured wrists and elbows would inevitably make their sword power messy. But the four Army Academy cadets who couldn't use a sword became useless after they joined the army after graduation.

Lin Qi's decisiveness, cruelty, and ruthlessness left Enzo fresh in his memory.

Today he finally came to Lin Qi's home. He was very curious about what kind of family and what kind of parents could cultivate a person like Lin Qi. A fifteen-year-old boy formed a student gang like the Iron Fist Brotherhood in the university town of Bureleli, and it has continued to grow. Now there are more than 300 thugs in the outer area. Is this something ordinary people can and will do?

How could the children of ordinary, well-behaved civilian families do such a thing

The ancestral home of the Lin Qi family gives people an unusually deep and stable feeling. In front of the ancestral house is a huge courtyard, almost 40 to 50 acres in size. If Enzo saw it correctly, the floor of the courtyard was paved with extremely solid black volcanic steel rock solidified by volcanic lava.

Black volcanic steel rock refers to volcanic rock with a metal content of more than 70% in the lava. This kind of rock is extremely hard and has strong defense against all kinds of spells except lightning spells. Mining this kind of rock is extremely difficult. Ordinary workers risk their lives to mine at most two to three cubic meters of black volcanic steel rock a year.

The extremely hard and extremely tough black volcanic steel rock was carved into one meter square thick floor tiles and laid on the ground. There are complex tenon joints connecting the floor tiles to each other, making the floor of the courtyard seamless. What shocked Enzo even more was that there was a faint metallic luster in the gaps between the floor tiles. Apparently, a metal solution was poured between the floor tiles to make the ground stronger.

The cost of building the ground of this courtyard is already extremely staggering, but the walls of the courtyard are also terrifying.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the wall of this house is just an ordinary gable, only three meters higher than the gable of ordinary people. But in the eyes of Enzo, a top student at the Army Academy, the gable of this courtyard, covered by dense ivy vines, was probably a small city wall. The wall looks ordinary from the outside, but the width above it should be enough for four people to walk side by side. Moreover, there are arrow holes blocked with bricks on the wall, observation holes, arrow-proof wall stacks, and various other preventive measures.

But these fortifications are covered by dense creeper vines, and it seems that these murderous military installations are harmless at all.

The material of this wall is the same as the ground of the courtyard. It is made of black volcanic steel rock, and the spaces between the wall bricks are poured with metal solution. This wall is completely an indestructible metal lump, unless it is the main field army of the empire carrying a heavy attack force. The city must be besieged with weapons and equipment, otherwise a legion of ten thousand people would not be able to defeat this circle of courtyard walls.

Thinking back to what he had just seen outside the house, the thickness of the snow under the walls outside the house was very problematic. Enzo suddenly thought of the common defense facility of the 'moat'. There must be a moat outside Lin Qi's ancestral house, and the width is not small, at least five meters or more.

Let’s take a look at the two rows of auxiliary buildings far apart on the left and right of the ancestral house, which were used to house servants. The dark annex building is obviously made of the same material as the courtyard wall and courtyard floor. The two rows of annex buildings are crooked, as if the builders did not stack the walls neatly when building the annex buildings. However, this crooked and angular long annex building is everywhere. If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, if the enemy rushes into the courtyard, these two rows of nearly 100 meters long annex building will become two spiny 'bastions'. …,

Look at the narrow windows of the building and the steel bars as thick as a child's arm fixed in the window frames. Those windows are clearly the firing ports for the crossbowmen.

What made Enzo even more speechless was that near the two auxiliary buildings, there were stables, granaries, small mills, and various living facilities that a large family should have. But these facilities are all made of black volcanic steel rock, and they are built entirely in accordance with the rules of military fortresses.

There is also a circle of walls in the yard, and within this wall stands the main castle of the Lin Qi family. The tallest watchtower is nearly 100 meters high, surrounded by more than a dozen 'decorative' spiers, but it can be used as an 'arrow tower' for the main castle during war.

This main castle covers a large area. From the outside, this main castle with six floors of main building structure is enough to accommodate two to three thousand people. In case of any turmoil, this main castle is certainly enough to accommodate two to three thousand people. People are at war inside.

It must be a protracted battle, because twenty-four deep wells were drilled around the main fort!

Enzo's fingers were numb when he saw it. Even in the imperial army drill, the first-line defensive battle fort only required three deep wells to provide water. The ancestors of the Lin Qi family were really prepared for a rainy day, and actually drilled twenty-four wells in a circle. The deep well is eight times the size required by the Imperial Army's drill code!

Enzo glanced at Lin Qi subconsciously, but Lin Qi was chattering and recounting his wonderful experiences in the past three years to Hammer and Butcher's Knife. Hammer and Butcher's Knife listened to Lin Qi's chatter with almost innocent smiles. The smiles on their faces were actually full of a kind of 'love' and 'care'

How could these two thugs be so 'loving' and 'caring'? Enzo couldn't help but feel his scalp numb again.

Everyone kept approaching the Lin Qi family's main castle, and there were more and more people around. But these people were all strong men with blowing noses and staring eyes, and arms as thick as ordinary people's thighs. Even the old men who fed the horses had scars all over their faces, and their expressions were extremely hideous and ugly.

Even a few servants carrying milk pails came out of the cowshed. They only wore a pair of short shirts in the winter, and their exposed arms were full of knotted muscles! The maids were all muscular, and looking at the calluses on their hands, it was obvious that they were also good at wielding swords and guns.

Enzo suddenly realized that only such a family could cultivate a top-notch person like Lin Qi!
