Chapter 379 Infiltration

According to the information Crossfia "read", for the past hundred years or so, an "Old Castle Trial" has been held somewhere in the Antals Mountains every 12 years.

The participants in the trial are all young people from noble families in the north. They can be ordinary people who have been trained as knights, or they can be low-sequence extraordinary people of sequence 7 and below.

However, mid- and high-sequence players cannot enter the castle, otherwise they will be killed by the castle’s defense measures.

There was once a count who forced his way in relying on his Sequence 4 strength, but he failed to come out again.

In addition, the origin of the organizer of the "Castle Trial" is extremely mysterious. Most of the participating nobles do not know it. Only the nobles of the Einhorn family know some inside information.

"There is no so-called 'trial' in Mr. Gluttony's memory. What's going on?" "Greedy" Ksenia looked at Abner in confusion.

Although she was also a noble from Feysac, she was affiliated with the eastern border of the empire and had no idea about the privacy of the northern nobles.

At this time, Abner, who had "insighted" the general situation, came to his senses. He considered it and said: "The last time 'Gluttony' came was hundreds of years ago, and this so-called 'trial' only existed. It took more than a hundred years, and it took nearly thirty years to reach the current scale...

“I guess this is because some force has mastered the trajectory of the ‘Observer Castle’, and then is attracting low-sequence Beyonders in the name of ‘trial’.

"The rule that mid- and high-sequences cannot enter was probably imposed by the organizers behind the scenes. Even the Sequence 4 who tried his best to test the law was either a shill or was killed by the people behind the scenes.

"After all, 'Gluttony''s memory shows that although he cannot climb the second floor of the castle, and the first floor is indeed dangerous, there are not many fatal dangers, at least it will not make the demigod fall.

"As for their purpose, it is nothing more than to satisfy the needs of a certain ritual or to destroy the requirements of a certain ritual."

Crossfia nodded, agreed with Abner's conjecture, and said: "From the information I just 'read', many people will die in every 'trial'.

“But those who come back alive will more or less obtain some treasures, and some people even brought out ‘1’ level sealed items!

"So, while the nobles of the northern border strictly keep secrets, they are also very active in this 'castle trial'.

"Anyway, those big nobles don't care if a few low-sequence descendants die."

Speaking of this, Crosphia couldn't help but have a hint of contempt on her face, contempt for the nobles of the Feysac Empire.

Because unlike the three countries of Intis, Loen, and Fenebaud, which are already highly industrialized, the Feysac Empire's organizational method still retains many shadows of the Fourth Age.

For example, almost all the nobles of the Fusac Empire are families who master the magic potion formula, and their fiefs are all "real seals" like Abner!

In Loen, there are actually very few nobles like Abner with actual fiefdoms. Most of them have sold their land and moved to big cities to set up factories, or entered the industry like Earl Hall. In the financial field, because the income from land can no longer support their luxurious life.

After all, even Duke Negan, the noble who owns the most land outside the royal family, claims to have more than 12 million pounds of fields, pastures and forests. His income for the whole year last year was only 850,000 pounds, which is only more than O'Day. Li's "dowry" is only more than twice as large.

As long as Earl Hall wanted to, he could easily "loan" so much money from his own bank.

Generally speaking, although Feysack is known as an empire, it is not actually a unified Eastern-style empire, but more like the German Empire, which is composed of multiple states. However, as the core of the empire, "Einhorn" "The family is powerful enough that no country can challenge her status.

Therefore, Fusak is a country that appears to be superficial, but in fact is not completely ethical.

Abner complained a few words in his mind, and then said: "I already have some clues about the organizers of the trial... But we don't need to go head-to-head with them for the time being. We might as well pretend to be members of a certain family and sneak in. You guys how do you feel?"

Regarding Abner's suggestion, the two ladies "Lazy" and "Greedy" had no objections and nodded one after another.

…

The title of the Iris family originated from the "Twenty Years' War" period. Although it is an "old" family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, because it only has the title of baron, its presence among the northern nobles is not high.

However, the family has passed down to the current Baron Iris, but there is only one Beyonder left in the family, the Baron himself, a Sequence 9 hunter.

Not long ago, his fiefdom was favored by a certain earl for some reasons, which caused him to receive great pressure and threats.

You must know that according to the unspoken rules of the Feysac nobles, once a noble family no longer has an extraordinary person, the fiefdom will be taken back, the title will no longer be hereditary, and it will become a commoner in a few generations at most...

Therefore, the "Castle Trial" became his only chance. As long as he could get a powerful item or treasure, he could exchange it for the protection of other earls and even marquises, and let the earl who coveted his fiefdom know about it. Retreat from difficulty.

To this end, the Iris Baron spent a lot of money to hire three well-trained mercenaries to protect him while exploring the castle.

At low sequences, well-trained soldiers holding weapons are not necessarily much weaker than extraordinary ones. After all, even "soldiers" known for their defensive capabilities will die if they are hit in the vital part by a large-caliber revolver.

Baron Iris took a final inventory of his weapons, then walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room of the hotel private room. He saw the three mercenaries he hired, one man and two women, talking and laughing.

He couldn't help but frown, after all, it was not a good thing for them to be in such a relaxed state.

But then, the baron's brows calmed down again. He felt that these three people would definitely die in the castle tonight. It was okay to be happy now. He shouldn't be harsh.

Even if ordinary people are well-trained, they are just "cannon fodder". Historically, only the nobles can successfully return from the "Castle Trial", and there is no record of survival of servants and mercenaries.

After waiting for a while, the baron looked at his watch and finally said: "You three, the time is almost up, we are about to set off.

"are you ready?"

The man who was the leader of the three-person team looked over when he heard this. He patted his "gun belt" and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir.

"We are the best mercenaries in the North. We can easily deal with those guys who don't have much combat experience."

The three demigods beat the low-sequence children with ease... the man, that is, Abner thought.
