Sicily, capital Palermo, Normandy Royal Palace.
Robert took Sidlifa across the street to the new gate of the palace, waiting to be summoned by William "Iron Arm", Lord of Sicily.
Sidlifa stared at the city gate that was more than ten meters high in front of her, silent.
It was a strangely shaped city gate, made of some strange material like limestone. Above the city gate was an eagle emblem, and on the left and right sides were two human reliefs.
The first relief is a hideous skeleton, the second is an evil young man, the third is a madman with an illusory lower body, and the fourth is shrouded in a black robe, with only dry hands showing, tightly grasping a twisted staff.
"This is a site left by the Punic people in the early Third Age, called the 'Gate of the Underworld'." Seeing his daughter staring at the relief, Robert smiled and said, "Of course, it is just for decoration and does not have any extraordinary power."
"From left to right, they are Skeleton, Vampire, Ghost and Corpse Witch, symbolizing the four elements of the Undead System, namely, dry bones, blood, soul and rotten flesh."
"Although the ancient Punic Carthage was destroyed, their undead bloodline still survives and is now inherited by the Berber Hafsid Dynasty. We often clash with their ghost warships in the waters near Malta. If you encounter them at sea in the future, you may have a chance to face them directly."
Robert explained calmly, noticing that Sidlifa's eyes were fixed on the second relief, which was the vampire, and then he chuckled and said:
"The blood clan is the most difficult undead superhuman to deal with. Their body healing ability is extremely strong, they are almost not afraid of any physical attack, and their movement speed and agility are quite exaggerated."
"If you are entangled by them, you need to show a flaw to let them get close to you, and then use a large-scale frost skill to attack with all your strength, completely freezing them and killing them - of course you will get hurt in the process, but I believe you are not afraid of pain."
If you use this tactic against Peggy, she will simply defeat you completely... Sidlifa thought silently.
Soon the guards who had reported the incident hurried back and led the two men into the Normandy court.
After passing through the corridors, the two soon saw the owner of the palace. At this time, the Otwell family was enjoying dinner. There was a U-shaped wooden dining table in the hall, and everyone sat on the benches outside, looking at them with curiosity, surprise and hostility.
Sidlifa recognized this Norman-style U-shaped table. The chef's seat was in the middle, often with a stew pot or grill for cooking. The guests' seats were on both sides, and the host sat alone in the center at the far end.
Looking in that direction, Sidlifa saw that William Iron Arm was a middle-aged man with frosty white hair and arms as thick as her thighs. On his left and right were two other white-haired men. According to the information given by Medea in advance, they should be William Iron Arm's two younger brothers, Drogo and Humphrey, both of whom were law-level strongmen above Lv.16.
The remaining members of the Otwell family and their families were on the left and right. Sidlifa could even notice a hint of resentment in the crowd, which was cast by a woman with a mean face. It was Robert's current wife, Gaeta, who was one of the few people present who did not have white hair.
