The Legend of Fatality
Chapter 288: Visitors to the palace
Dawn is near, but the ubiquitous cloud covers the sun, and the earth is shrouded in darkness. At the end of the high iron black granite avenue, a huge castle stands on the horizon. Several narrow windows are dotted with short orange lights on its broad sides, but otherwise, it sits in the shadows. The Royal Palace of the Marnus Empire in Strand, like all royal fortresses, was built sturdyly, with huge stone buttresses supporting a series of towers, spires and spire halls.
This is not a ridiculous act of the noble class, nor a country house. This palace is a fortress designed for war and siege. The battlements were made of a yard of thick stone, and the dry moat was wide and covered with twisted metal nails. The huge gate was locked by a solid iron suspension bridge. There are many killing holes for archery on the stone above, and there are arrow marks on each wall. The palace was very desolate, empty, and lifeless. This is a terrible place, a terrible home. The Strandburg Palace imitates the character of the owner. Gloomy, huge, and unshakable.
When the eastern horizon finally began to show a faint blush, a lone team of riders walked along the granite stone avenue to the palace gate. The team was riding slowly. The horse stopped before reaching the towering wall. The leader waved his badge of identity towards the guard on the gate.
Soon, someone gave a signal at the gate and the suspension bridge began to descend. This suspension bridge is so huge. As it slowly descended, a thick heavy metal chain as wide as a man's waist could be seen. The air is full of the friction between metal and metal, and the sound of the complex machinery coming from the basement.
With a loud rumble, the wooden bridge fell on the stone pillar. The team of horsemen came in and entered the darkness in the shadow of the strong wall. Behind him, the gate began to descend again. As the metal screamed, the suspension bridge began to rise. Although the iron chain is very strong, when the huge oak and iron chain are dragged to a high place, the iron chain trembles and makes a crunching noise. Eventually, the machine stopped colliding and the gap was blocked. The castle stood again intact again.
In a room above the central tower, the current Emperor Marnus sat on the bright bronze throne. A small amount of natural light penetrated through the narrow windows. The huge metal bowls placed on the ground on both sides of the hall were filled with terrible flames, illuminating the cave-like space.
The cold, plain stone walls soared into the clouds, gradually leaning towards the thirty-foot-high roof. The furnishings in the room were minimal. On the great throne, there is a simple altar of Marnus and three tattered flags, decorated with the symbol of the old and proud family of Strand Castle.
As the times progressed, the coats of arms of these ancient flags were almost worn away, hanging weakly and weakly in the cold air. There is a huge fireplace in the middle of the wall on the left hand side of the hall, but only the embers remain in the grate. Emperor Marnus sat alone, seemingly lost in thought. An empty kettle and a crystal goblet lay on the stone steps at his feet.
There was a firm knock on the door outside. Emperor Marnus gave a slight movement and gestured with one finger. Although the servant could not be seen, the door opened. Comes in a thin figure. He wore well-covered armor covering his body, his hair was gray, but his spine was straight. He walked toward the throne, his boots rattling on the stone, breaking the silence. Six feet in front of Emperor Marnus, he completely lowered his head and knelt on the ground. The door slammed behind him.
"My friend," said Emperor Marnus. "You can stand up."
The knight who had served His Majesty for nearly half a century stood up and looked at the same old Emperor, and still stood up again after giving another salute.
"My majesty, the swordsmen of the elves are now looking for the dark elves who attacked them in the streets," the knight's words were full of dissatisfaction. "They shouldn't act so wantonly on your land."
"Yes, but the situation is different now. The young Duke of Midland is ambitious and he will not hesitate to participate in the next election of the emperor. Duke of Korwald resented that Duke of Norland failed to defend his territory , Let the barbarian of the north enter his territory. "ァ 新 ヤ ~ ⑧ ~ 1 ~ 中文 网 ωωω.χ ~ ⒏ ~ 1zщ.còм
Emperor Marnus sighed, and the situation in the country became increasingly chaotic. In addition to these restless dukes, Duke Talbesilan, who supported him as the emperor of the Marnus Empire, began to ask for benefits as he grew older. In order to obtain the throne, he made promises to several dukes. Now each of them thinks that he is going to die, so he takes the opportunity to ask for more benefits, but for the Strand family, he has to try his best to satisfy them.
"Your Majesty, the elves sent a team of delegations to the palace, and the leaders said they would like to thank you for sending the royal guard to protect them." Changed the subject and continued. "They also think that there may be spies in the palace, so they are responsible for communicating the most direct instructions of the Archmage."
"They have the courage to speak these words here. Spy, hum." Emperor Marnus growled in a low voice. "If you don't need their army, I will definitely not allow this group of arrogant guys to set foot on my land." New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer: https: //
The emperor finished speaking this sentence ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ gasped, his face pale and very weak. In this case, his judgment is poor. The elf's words and thoughts angered him, and he glanced somberly at the guard who had accompanied him for a long time.
"Yes, my majesty," the knight said seriously. "You have sent Royal Guards to protect their Archmage. I don't think they should be interviewed now. At least you should wait until Commander Kadia Strand brings someone back."
"If you are lucky, Kadia Strand will go directly to the East after seeing the Elven Ambassador. Duke Talbeslan made a request to me, and I cannot refuse him." Emperor Marnus finished. Thinking about it. "Let them come to see me and see what better proposals or remedies those arrogant guys have."
"Your Majesty, as you wish." The knight added after bowing to the ceremony. "For your safety, I will send some more people here."
"No need," Emperor Marnus waved his hand. "How many are they?"
"Four, in addition to their leader, Your Majesty." The knight replied. "I have arranged for them to leave their weapons at the gate of the palace."
"Well, there is no need to increase the manpower. Your people should be enough. We are looked down on by these guys again, but it was just an attack, and we were crying like a child." Emperor Marnus signaled that his guard could Arranged a delegation of elves to come.
The knight turned his head and left the hall. He went to the reception of the palace and prepared to tell the elven delegation that the emperor of the Marnus Empire would meet them.
