Chapter 326 -176- Ruins

Northeast of Castres, Port Leglis.

As the name suggests, this is the last direct territory of the Leglis family, the capital of the Leglis Viscounty, and the northernmost city of the Earl of Castells.

Of course, this is also the last stronghold of rebel resistance.

As a border port city, Port Leglis has a city defense system comparable to that of North Port, which caused a lot of trouble for Castel's army to attack the city.

But, it's just some trouble.

After the main force of the Leglis family was destroyed, it was only a matter of time before this place was breached.

Especially after the arrival of the support fleet led by Viscount Romain-Fol and Earl Jurst.

In the face of the powerful Castel fleet and the "extraordinary mercenaries" led by Count Jurst, it was almost difficult for the city to form any effective resistance.

In just half a day, Port Leglis, which had persisted for many days, was completely destroyed.

At the port of Leglis, one after another Castel warships have put away their rock cannons and anchored into the harbor.

At the bullet-riddled city gate, the mighty Castel army was entering the city in an orderly manner under the command of noble officers.

The flag belonging to the Leglis family on the city wall has been taken down.

In its place was Castel's battle flag.

From today on, the history of the Leglis family ruling this city may come to an end.

However, what is strange is that after entering the port of Leglis, Castor's army did not find any members of the Leglis family.

Only the soldiers surrendered, and not a single member of the Leglis family was seen, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.

"Haven't you found anyone yet?"

In the Lord's Castle in Port Leglis, the fire elf Sebas frowned slightly as he watched the soldiers coming and going.

The soldier shook his head:

"Sebas-sama, no, there is no one in the castle, not even the waiters and maids."

"What do the residents around here say?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Master Sebastian, the surrounding residents said that they could still see people coming in and out of the castle yesterday. Last night, they seemed to see the Legris family summoning all the nobles. Many people thought that the Leglis family would use the castle as a The stronghold makes the final resistance..."

Sebastian suddenly narrowed his eyes:

"But, there is no one in the castle..."

"It's interesting. The entire family, plus so many nobles, can actually disappear into thin air in the castle?"

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"The members of the Leglis family will not disappear out of thin air. They must be hiding somewhere, or... evacuated in some way."

"Look, keep looking, dig down three feet to find it! See if there is any teleportation circle hidden somewhere in the castle, or some secret passage."

"yes!"

The soldiers responded respectfully and then prepared to continue action.

"Wait a moment!"

As if remembering something, Sebastian suddenly stopped them:

"Look for it and see if you can find some special marks..."

"Special... mark?"

The soldiers were stunned.

Sebastian nodded:

"Yes, special marks, such as roses or cat's paws."

"Anyway...if you see any suspicious marks, come back and report it to me."

Following Sebastian's order, the soldiers took action and continued to search the lord's castle.

And soon, a discovery was actually made.

"Lord Sebastian! We found the mark you mentioned in the storage room of the castle!"

A soldier ran over excitedly, panting.

"Oh? Is there really a mark? What is it?"

Sebastian was a little surprised.

"It's...a rose flower, marked with a rose flower entwined with thorns and vines!"

The soldier replied respectfully.

"Bramble and rose?"

Sebastian was stunned for a moment, then sneered:

"I never thought that that guy would start flattering the master."

"Come on, take me to see you."

…

Led by the soldiers, Sebastian quickly arrived at the castle's storage room.

He immediately saw the pattern of thorns and roses carved on the wall of the storage room. The pattern was not very standard. It looked like it was clawed out by some kind of claws. It was a miracle that the soldiers could still recognize it.

Sebastian judged almost instantly that this was definitely the work of Black Cat Ness.

"It seems that the guy is still safe. He should have been taken away by the Leglis family."

Sebastian pondered.

He carefully observed the pattern on the wall for a while, and then his eyes flickered.

He suddenly pulled out a long sword from the scabbard of a soldier on the side, used his magic power and slashed hard at the wall.

The power far beyond that of ordinary silver moon exploded in an instant, and the entire wall immediately shattered, revealing a dark passage.

"A secret passage! It's a secret passage!"

The surrounding soldiers exclaimed.

"You guys stay here and I'll go in and take a look."

Sebastian's eyes flashed slightly and he ordered.

As he spoke, he picked up the sword and escaped into the darkness.

…

This is a typical underground passage in a noble castle.

However, after Sebastian entered, he soon discovered that this secret passage was not as simple as it seemed.

After going deep into the secret passage, he found that this underground secret passage connected to more secret passages, which crisscrossed under the ground like a huge underground city network.

These secret passages are all made of brick and stone, but they look very old. Even with Sebastian's hundreds of years of experience, he couldn't tell the specific age of these secret passages.

After entering the secret passage, Sebastian found thorn rose marks left in the corners one after another, each section had one, guiding him to go deeper.

After walking for an unknown period of time, he finally came to an open underground space, and what caught his eyes was a magnificent underground palace.

No, perhaps it can't be simply called a palace.

Looking at the vicissitudes of life, the religious murals depicting towers and war scenes, and the dilapidated and blurred statues enshrined in front of the palace, Sebastian's heart moved slightly:

"Is this... an underground temple?"

Taking a deep breath, Sebastian carefully looked for the holy emblem in the temple, wanting to see which god this temple, which had been buried for who knows how many years, belonged to.

However, what surprised him was that all the places where the holy emblem should have been, had been artificially erased.

However, in the process of searching for the holy emblem, he found the mark of the thorn rose again.

He continued to move forward along the mark calmly, went deep into the temple, and finally came to an ancient stone door.

It was a huge stone door, at least twenty meters high.

There were vague patterns carved on the stone door, and there were grooves around the patterns.

There was a strong smell of blood in the grooves. Sebas took a look and soon saw some residual blood.

In the center of the gate, you can also see a demon eye symbol. The symbol was obviously newly carved. It can be vaguely seen that before that symbol, there were actually other symbols carved on the gate.

"This is..."

Sebas's eyes condensed slightly.

"This is the mark of the Blood Demon Grand Duke..."

"Haha, I didn't expect that there was still an ancient temple in the north. No wonder the crazy people of the Blood Demon Cult wanted to do some tricks here."

The lazy voice came from behind him, and Sebas was instantly alert.

He drew his weapon almost subconsciously, and then saw a handsome young man in black behind him.

"Blood clan?"

Looking at the other party's scarlet eyes, Sebastian raised his eyebrows.

But the handsome young man smiled slightly and looked Sebastian up and down:

"Red hair, tuxedo, you are the butler of Count Castel, Mr. Sebastian?"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sebastian, you can call me Yulster."
