Novinha.

The arrival of Lin Ke and his group caused the town to become bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone left their stone houses and walked to the main road to observe this "huge" caravan curiously. They knew that the great figures of their family had arrived, causing their curiosity to grow even stronger.

As he got closer to this place, Link discovered that it could be called a windmill valley, where windmills of all sizes could be seen everywhere, ranging from the walls of a stone house to the edge of a shuttle shaped castle. Windmills became the main source of power here, and the hurricane brought a harsh living environment here, but it also gave people the most natural resources to use.

The mechanization of the place seemed to be very developed. The power of the windmill was used in various places, such as drawing water from rivers or becoming the power of hammers hammering fine iron in blacksmith shops. All of these uses were admirably wondrous.

After passing the checkpoint at the end of the bridge, the convoy took quite a bit of time to arrive at the stone houses. After passing the checkpoint at the end of the bridge, the convoy took quite a bit of time to arrive at the stone houses. He then looked at the several large and luxurious carriages in the caravan and started to whisper to each other.

Lin Ke didn't care about the current situation. To him, being stared at by a few hundred people was nothing. He only focused on riding his horse, in case he made a fool out of himself in front of everyone.

The heavy stone gate of the castle was on the other end, opposite the shuttle castle and the huge windmill, facing the stone bridge and the archery tower. The gate was already open, and a middle-aged man in a plain gray robe came out to greet them.

The middle-aged man bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Master Cohen. Burton, a loyal servant of the Moutes family, sends his greetings. Welcome to your family's territory. Aitg Castle is your safest home."

Uncle Burton need not be so polite," Rinkey quickly dismounted and gave the middle-aged man a warm hug. Although this did not conform to the reserved style of a noble, "For a passerby like me, this place is really beautiful, but for someone like you who holds this place for the sake of your family, this place is a little desolate. I must thank you on behalf of my grandfather and father.

Burton was a diligent, thrifty, and well-mannered man in Cheryl's story, but he was clearly in a daze and didn't know where to put his hands.

"Let's go, Uncle Burton. I can't wait for you to take me to see this castle," Link patted Burton's arm and led him to the gate. Behind him, Brooke and several guards, who had given their horses to the servants, did not show up, so Daisy and the other two did not appear.

"Hey, Burton, what's the point?" Brooke patted Burton's shoulder.

"Darn Brook, can't you be a little lighter?" Burton grimaced as he dodged Brooke's Demon Claw. Without bothering him, he ran after Link, obviously already familiar and on good terms with him.

From time to time, Lin Ke would smile and wave at the commoners who didn't dare to approach him despite their extreme curiosity. Perhaps it was because their handsome faces made people feel a sense of familiarity, but the tense atmosphere caused by the arrival of a large number of armored guards had eased up, and a few children were running towards Lin Ke while the adults weren't paying attention.

Lin Ke raised his hand to stop a few guards who were standing in front of him to prevent the kids from getting close. He walked over to a young boy who stood dumbly in front of the guard and held him up. After kneading his fleshy face a few times, he gave a kind smile to a nervous woman who was at a loss of what to do.

"You like Big Brother's leather armor?"

The boy, who was carefully stroking the leather armor with his small hand, suddenly felt uneasy while Lin Ke was not paying attention, and his face turned red from embarrassment.

"Hahaha, when I leave, I will leave this armor behind in Aite Castle. When you grow up and successfully catch a wild beast by yourself, come to Butler Burton and trade your head for this armor."

The surrounding people cried out in alarm, but Lin Ke didn't care at all.

"Really?" The little boy's eyes instantly lit up as he asked uncertainly. However, his eyes were filled with hope.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe us, we can just pull the hook." Lin Ke affirmed.

The little boy actually stretched out his chubby little hand, trying his best to extend his pinky in front of Lin Ke.

Lin Ke laughed out loud. The bigger pinky and the tender pinky were hooked together, and the surrounding hundreds of commoners and guards all witnessed this moment.

This scene that occurred in a corner of the continent was plain and ordinary.

Even after a hundred thousand years.

The night at Fort Aitter was accompanied by the sound of the wind.

Brooke, who had finally made his way here, didn't let Burton off and instead went to the latter's room to sit down. Fortunately, he brought good wine with him, otherwise Burton would have had to kick him out.

"Hey, Brooke," Burton began, a little too drunk. "What bastard is discrediting young master Cohen by saying that he's just a nerd who only knows how to cultivate in a warm room in the family. Damn it, Brooke, you have to find out who did this, punish him severely, and kick him out of the family."

Brooke looked at his old friend in amusement and said, "Young Master Cohen was originally really a cultivation maniac, but no one knew that he was just unwilling to express his feelings. He knows it very well," he raised his glass and took a big gulp of wine, then sighed in satisfaction, "After losing seven members of the second generation in a row, who wouldn't hope for a pillar of support to appear in the third generation? "I can understand the complaints you had."

"Yes," Burton chuckled, "Mr. Rhine has been working hard for the past few years, and young master Jason is not willing to come back, so the family needs a new generation of heartforce. I, Burton, have seen a lot of young masters and mistresses of the second and third generations of the Moutes family," he imitated Brooke by raising his head and taking a big gulp of wine, "Only today, Brooke, only today, I'm willing to get drunk for this meeting!"

"Dang, dang, dang …!" The alarm bell rang!

"What happened?" Brooke immediately got up and walked outside.

Burton, who had reacted faster than him, had rushed out the door as soon as the alarm went off. He was an expert!

Rincewind was not yet asleep.

He was very interested in this spindle-shaped castle. In his previous life, he had been very interested in medieval Western-style castles, but unfortunately, because of his work, he did not have the time to visit them. In this life, however, his desire was realized without difficulty, and compared to the sparse population of Europe and the glory of the short period of the Castle Age, this world had lasted for countless years.

"The best place to defend against the invasion of the magical beasts was in the Valley of the Winds, where the nobles lived in relative peace." Snow was translated by Lin Kola, who couldn't sleep, so Lilith followed, except for Daisy, who had fallen asleep long ago. "The streets of the castle are winding, and there is almost no straight road, so that if the castle were to be attacked one day, it would be the best place to defend itself against the invasion of the magical beasts. Of course, this place has never been broken by the magical beasts or anyone else, so all the facilities in the city are still in good condition …"

"Dang, dang, dang …!" Right at this moment, the alarm clock suddenly rang!

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, and then without any hesitation, he ran towards the direction of the city wall, followed by Xue'er, who was running lightly but not strenuously, and the black brat Neil who had always been following him like a shadow. Lily had already passed Lin Ke at the first moment, and like a fairy of the night in her black tight clothes, she disappeared into the winding road of the castle with a few flashes.

It's a wave of wild beasts with chaotic elements, "Lily easily came back to Link's side after he had run half the distance," When I got to the city wall, they had already crossed over the river and the arrow tower, and were heading towards the castle. Most of the residents outside the castle were still sleeping, and some of them still hadn't reacted and were entering the castle one by one, but time was a bit tight, and some of the civilians might not even be able to hide in the castle!

"Beast Upheaval?" "Why would there be a beast tide at this season?" "How big is the monster horde?"

"The beast tide isn't that big, and with the defense of the castle, it's enough." The voice that answered him came from a few people beside them, but it was unknown when Heller had already arrived beside them, which gave Lilisse, who was unfamiliar with the situation, a creepy feeling.

"Don't worry about Lilisse, she's not an enemy," Lin Ke grabbed onto Lilisse, who was about to make a move, and comforted her, "Seventh Grandpa, Seventh Elder from the clan, followed the convoy here."

"Don't run around, I'll go outside the city to take a look at the situation." Heller didn't pay attention to Lilisse's reaction, and disappeared mysteriously after giving Link a few words of advice.

By the time Link arrived at the top of the wall that faced the stone bridge's archery tower, Brooke and Burton were already there, along with most of the Moutes' elite guards who had followed the convoy.

Link hurried over to Brooke and Burton, stuck his head out, and waved his hand to stop Burton from bowing. "What's the situation now?"

The vanguard of the beast tide has already crossed the river, and the current season's river is too shallow to obstruct them, so it was the archery tower on the stone bridge that issued the warning first. At the moment, the guards of the tower had already removed the bottom ladder, cutting off the path for the beasts to climb up, but they are also trapped there. Right now, the vanguards are just ordinary wild beasts, so I'm worried that the arrow tower would not be able to stop them once there is a commander.

Link stared at the group of people crossing the river, his eyes flashing!
