Chapter 1590 The Conspiracy of Master Fei

Joan was inspired by Holden's proposal.

"I don't need to go there myself, I can cast a spell to investigate the situation in Linyuan Castle right now."

"Is it 'Scrying'?" Holden asked.

"Almost, but the casting process doesn't have to be that troublesome."

"Then try it quickly!" Holden urged impatiently.

Joan nodded, and extracted 7 points of spiritual energy from the "power of mythology". First, 3 points of spiritual energy were extracted to show the second-level spiritual prophecy system "remote sensing technique".

A few seconds later, Qiao An successfully created an invisible observation point over Linyuan Fort 400 miles away. However, as soon as he switched the observation angle, he immediately felt dark and lost his vision.

Joan was forced to return his perspective to his own body, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Audrey noticed that his face was not very good-looking, and asked with concern: "Joan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but Linyuan Castle has been protected from detection, so I can't see anything."

Qiao An really didn't expect that the barrier covering the fortress could even block "psychic powers", which brought him a big blow.

"Is this enchantment originally in the fortress, or was it added recently?" Audrey grasped the crux of the problem, "If the enchantment suddenly appeared in the last two days, it shows the situation of Linyuan Castle It is very pessimistic, otherwise there is no need to make such a cover-up move."

"It's really hard to say. As a military center, Linyuan Castle is located at the junction of the Midgard colony of Ashan and the Jotunheim colony of Feizhen in the north. Now it is an extraordinary period when the conflict between the North and the South is intensifying. The fortress has been strengthened. It is also reasonable to take protective measures to avoid enemy prying eyes."

Joan answered cautiously.

"The last time we went to Linyuan Castle to participate in military training, it seemed that this layer of anti-reconnaissance enchantment already existed, so it's not worth making a fuss about."

Holden pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

"If that's the case..."

Before Hailar finished speaking, a magic vortex appeared in front of him, and a ball of red light emerged.

She quickly held the ball of light to read the information, and under the unconcealed nervous gaze of Joan, Audrey, and Holden, she slowly turned her head with a strange expression on her face.

"Uncle Joseph said that the situation is quite complicated, and it is inconvenient to reply in a letter. Let us immediately rent a carriage and go to the Hermitage Manor outside the city, and accompany him to Sir Custis' luncheon. As for the matter we are concerned about, he The cause and effect will be explained in detail during the meal."

...

Two hours later, Joan, Audrey, Holden, and Hylar, led by the servants, walked into the living room of the big house in the Hermitage Manor.

Just after ten o'clock, which was still early for lunch, the manor housekeeper Heimdall arranged for four young visitors to drink tea in the living room, waiting for the arrival of their master.

Joan and the others waited for about ten minutes in the plainly decorated living room. When they were feeling agitated, footsteps came from outside the door.

Heimdall pushed open the door and helped Lord Dandridge Custis, who was on crutches, into the living room. Behind them was a man smoking a pipe, Joseph Adams.

"Children, you are welcome to be our guests."

Lord Custis, fighting back a cough, smiled and nodded to the four young visitors.

Joan and the others stood up early, and respectfully returned the salute to the Sir.

Joan originally wanted to follow the example of Hailaer and Zion, and say a few polite words such as "You look good, old man", but she couldn't say it when she got to her mouth.

In fact, instead of improving, Sir Custis looked even more haggard than when they met last time. The deep sunken eye sockets and pale complexion all indicate that this man, who is actually only in his forties, is already terminally ill, and his life is getting shorter every day.

After everyone greeted each other and sat down again, Hailaer couldn't help getting straight to the point.

"Uncle Joseph, are the rumors about the fall of Linyuan Castle true?"

Holding a pipe, Joseph Adams nodded with a wry smile in front of his niece's eager questioning, as well as the equally eager gazes of Joan and Zion.

"Unfortunately, it's true."

"Ah?! This, how is this possible!"

Hailaer grabbed her twin ponytails, her face full of disbelief.

"Linyuan Castle is a military fortress with towering and solid walls and complete defensive measures. There are also 4,000 elite officers and soldiers commanded by Baron Laval stationed in the fortress. How could it be captured without warning if it can hold on for three to five months? This is incredible!"

Joan nodded again and again, fully agreeing with Hailar's question.

It's not that Linyuan Castle is really so strong that it can't be captured, but it's not so easy to be taken by the enemy.

Normally speaking, the Feizhen army traveled southward from New Avalon. On the way, they had to board a ship at the mouth of the Vimur River and cross the Iron Forest by water. After a journey of more than 1,000 miles, it would take at least a week. , it is possible to reach the north gate of Linyuan Castle.

The upcoming siege battle is bound to be huge, and the news should spread throughout Midgard City within two days, and everyone in the city will know about it. How come Linyuan Castle has changed hands until now, and most people Still kept in the dark, don't know what happened, it's so contrary to common sense.

"Hairal, I was actually more shocked than you when I first heard the news, but after learning about the inside story, I had to accept the reality."

Mr. Adams sighed, and continued: "It took less than one night for Linyuan Castle to be attacked by the enemy until it finally fell. fraudulent propaganda, together forming a web that covers the Old World and the New World."

"The fall of Linyuan Castle is nothing but the final result of this series of conspiracies, and our government authorities and military generals in Midgard have not yet fully understood the conspiracy carefully arranged by Master Fei. Isn't the fall of the world a logical and inevitable result?"

"Mr. Adams, you said that Master Fei devised a series of conspiracies in order to surprise Linyuan Castle. Do you have any specific basis?" Audrey asked seriously.

"Your Highness, why did Master Fei start this war? The motive is actually very clear, that is, to fight for the control of the super-large magic crystal vein."

"We deduce this motive, and it is not difficult to come to a conclusion. If Master Fei wants to seize the magic crystal vein, he must first capture Linyuanbao, a military fortress located on the west side of the ancient abyss and monitoring the disputed area of ​​the mine vein."
