Chapter 651

Qin Lun carefully looked at the horned Eagle under him. The feather of this large flying bird is dark green. There are two forked grey sheep horns on its head, with sharp beaks and sharp claws. Adult horned eagles have a wingspan of up to five meters, a wide back, and can seat saddles for up to two people.

The horned eagle is called the air carriage. It is strong and strong enough to carry all kinds of goods and passengers. Some races will also train them to be combat air riders, slightly less powerful than Griffins.

These specially trained horned eagles are smart enough to fly back and forth on their own. Their saddles are tied with strong leather cables, which can completely fix the riders. As long as there is no acrophobia, any adventurer can ride the horned eagle.

Because Qin Lun and his party were in a hurry, they did not take the way of two people riding together, but one person and one horned eagle, trying to get to the candlestick castle as soon as possible.

Qin Lun looked down from the air, only to see that most of the creatures on the ground are only the size of ants. The river is like a crystal water line, shining silver in the sun. With the wind blowing, I felt refreshed for a while.

It's a pity that the trip ended in just over three hours, and soon there was a blue sky on the horizon. It was the color of the sea, and they finally returned to the sword Bay coast.

"Islands?" With the horned Eagles close to the coastline, more than 30 islands of different shapes appear on the sea.

Most of these islands are steep cliffs, covered with dense vegetation and trees. There are dark and ferocious reefs under the cliff, and dark red coral clumps can be seen underwater.

I'm afraid it's not accessible to fishing boats, because there's no place to stop and land. The reef is not distributed regularly enough for any adventurous boat to sink and feed fish. Only flying mounts can land on these cliff islands.

The island closest to the mainland coast is the largest of them. Although it is surrounded by steep cliffs, the top of the cliff is very flat. There is a huge hexagonal Fort standing on it, which should be the famous Candlestick fort.

In fact, in addition to the islands where Candlestick castle stands, there are many similar lighthouse like mage towers on other islands. Although they are different in height, sometimes they can see the flashing magic halo, which is the common protective cover of MAGE tower.

On the way to candlelight castle, Linda introduced these mage towers to you.

The six high towers on the walls of the six sided city of zhubao are the mage towers exclusive to zhubao, while the mage towers on these islands around zhubao only partially belong to zhubao, and the other part belongs to some mages who cooperate with zhubao.

For various reasons, these archmages did not intend to stay in candleburg for a long time, so they only signed a common cooperation contract with candleburg. They provide different levels of services for candleburg to exchange the knowledge they need.

Some of these services belong to defense work, others simply provide property and research results.

With Linda as the leader, the seven horned Eagles were in a neat row, hovering over the islands for a week, and then landed on the island where candleburg is located.

Because there is a certain range of forbidden air array over Candlestick castle, except for some flying mounts with special marks, other horned Eagles cannot enter it. They can only land at the foot of the island cliff, which is surrounded by more than ten large eagle stables and visitor registries.

The difference between candleburg's Island and other islands may be that it has an artificial gravel road. The stone road spirals up around the cliff of the island and ends at the front gate of candleburg.

The stone road is not broad. It can only accommodate three people in parallel. Moreover, it is not allowed to ride any mount here, and only to walk up the mountain. According to Linda, this is to pay homage to the temple of knowledge.

Except Linda, everyone else began to climb the mountain with a sense of curiosity. The stone road was not long. About half a quarter of an hour later, people saw the huge pyramid at the end of the road.

Different from what you can see in the sky, when you stand at the front door of this stone castle called candleburg, you can see that it is so huge and magnificent.

The walls of the fort are made of white jade like large stone blocks, which are almost perfect and smooth as a mirror. Because the whole fortress is covered with a compound protective magic, there is no living environment for fungi and insects on the wall, which is similar to the eternal decontamination, and there is no need for manual cleaning at all.

The city wall is more than 50 meters high and about 10 meters thick. There are square colored crystal windows in the middle and upper part. The top is a conical dome covered with glazed tiles. There is no female wall in the usual sense.

According to Linda's private introduction, the wall around the candlestick Castle not only functions as a wall, but also has two rows of private rooms in the middle, which are mainly residential places for scholars and guards. After all, as the main library, the central library can't hold so many people.

The main gate of the castle is very atmospheric, about 10 meters wide, and consists of two ten thousand jin gates. Only by using a huge winch and chain can it be opened. It has four side doors on each side. The main gate is closed most of the time. Visitors and internal personnel need to enter and exit from the side door.

There are two iron magic statues with a height of more than five meters on each side of the side door. This kind of magic image is driven by magic crystal, which is endowed with a certain amount of artificial intelligence by the runist. The statue has no facial features, but is inlaid with an image crystal with green light, which is equivalent to the function of eyes.At the left and right ends of the city wall, the two mage towers connected with the city wall in the lower half soar into the clouds, nearly 100 meters high, which is quite different from the weather you see when you are on the back of the horned eagle.

Seeing the arrival of strangers, one of the four magic statues walked towards them with heavy steps. Linda hurried forward, took out the nameplate she had just got at the foot of the mountain registration office, and gave it to the magic image for scanning.

Although the little girl is also an internal member of the candlestick castle, these iron and steel buildings do not know how to communicate with each other. There is no nameplate. After three warnings, they will launch a deportation attack.

Let the magic image check the visitor's nameplate, and the side door of candlestick castle will open automatically. As they passed the side door, they looked around curiously.

After entering the interior, they found that Linda was right. The wall of candlestick castle is really different from the ordinary wall. Behind the side door is a wide porch. There are rooms with closed doors on both sides, which is not like the interior of the wall at all.

"Linda, you're back!" A group of people followed Linda not far away, and a surprised greeting came from the opposite side.

It was a sorceress in a black robe and a monocle. Her hair was like a chicken coop with a pile of books in her arms. Although the robe on her body is not dirty, it's wrinkled and ugly. It's like the thick glass at the bottom of the beer bottle makes her wear a brown eye mask. The image is really rustic and messy.

"Dear lady Lenny, I'm back!"

To everyone's surprise, in the face of this skinny and shapeless female wizard, she behaved carelessly all the way, like Linda who didn't care about anything, but bowed down respectfully, and shook her little hand behind her with all her strength, to signal that everyone would salute with her.

Qin Lun and others are not fools. They immediately bow down to salute.

"Well, Linda, since you are back, go to see your teacher as soon as possible. He seems a little angry."

Ms. Lenny let out her hand, put it carelessly, and continued to walk forward with her books in her arms. Because the books in my arms are stacked too high, blocking my sight, I can see the garlic under her feet from time to time. However, I can stand still again every time when I wobble, which makes me very worried.

"Linda, that lady Lenny is..." Asked Martha tentatively.

"Ms. Lenny is one of the eight great readers next to the guardian of the historical records and the first reader. She is the 17th prophet and sage in the history of candleburg!" Linda said deadpan as she drew at the corner of her mouth.

When they heard Linda's words, they could not help shaking their faces. They only felt that a great image of kindness and humility in their mind collapsed

However, along with Linda's journey, people found that the scholars passing by didn't seem to pay much attention to their appearance. Some scholars even wore a set of patched robes.

Most of the scholars in candleburg are magicians. They will not be short of money, but are lazy to go shopping in mainland cities. All their time has been devoted to their favorite career.

Of course, it's rare for a slovenly girl like Ms. Lenny to be a wonderful flower. A nerd is nothing, but a nerd, coupled with the house girl attribute, seems to have become one of the most terrible creatures in the world.

"Where shall we go next?" After walking for a while, Qin Lun took the lead in breaking the silence.

"I'm going to see the teacher first. Do you see the magic gate ahead? It's the charge Office of candleburg. If you want to enter the underground maze and borrow a long-distance transmission array, you have to pay a lot of fees. " Linda pointed to an elliptical magic door like a water mirror 100 meters in front of her.

"Pay the fee? Do we have to pay for the money we came with you? " Asked Martha curiously.

"Of course, the rules of candleburg are no exception to the book keeper. I have no right to waive your fees!" Linda blinked slyly. "OK, I'll go first!"

The little girl ran away like a gust of wind, leaving a group of people to look at each other, feeling a bit bad.

"Cough, Martha, this operation is mainly based on your harpist alliance. You should have money, right?" Qin Lun looked expectantly at the high elves.

"Ah? Don't you have any money? " Martasha stared at Qin Lun innocently. "Don't lie to me. When you leave the claw of the troll, I can see you bring out a lot of wealth gold coins for Rick and SiVo!"

"Ha ha, trouble!" Qin Lun turned to look at hill and Rand. They all laughed bitterly.
