Northeast of Castres, come to Porto Glis.
As the name suggests, this is the last directly-administered territory of the Laglis family, the capital of the Viscounty of Laglis, and the northernmost city of the Earl of Castres.
Of course, this is also the last stronghold of rebel resistance.
As a port city on the border, Port of Laglis has a city defense system comparable to that of North Port, which caused a lot of trouble for the Castel army's siege.
But, it's just some trouble.
After the main force of the Lyglis 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.
It only took half a day, and the Port of Glis, which had persisted for many days, was completely destroyed.
At the port of Laglis, 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.
Starting today, the history of the Lyglis family ruling this city may be coming to an end.
However, what is strange is that after entering the port of Laglis, Castor's army did not find members of the Laglis family.
Only the soldiers surrendered, and not a single member of the Lyglis 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 Glis, the flame elf Sebas frowned slightly as he looked at 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 Laglis family summoning all the nobles. Many people thought that the Laglis family would use the castle as their base. Make the last 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 people who came to the Gliss family will not disappear out of thin air. They must have been 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!"
Seemingly 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 entangled 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 thorns and roses pattern carved on the wall of the storage room. The eucalyptus was not very standard, as if 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 Laglis family."
Sebastian pondered.
He carefully observed the pictures on the wall for a while, and then his eyes flickered.
I saw him suddenly pull out a long sword from the scabbard of a soldier on the side, use his magic power and slam it against 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 discovered that this underground secret passage was connected to more secret passages, which criss-crossed beneath the ground like a huge underground city network.
These secret passages are all made of masonry, but they look very chronological. 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, Sebas discovered the thorns and roses marks left in the corners one after another. There were them in every section, guiding him to go deeper.
After walking for who knows how long, he finally came to an open underground space, and what caught his eyes was a spectacular underground palace.
No, perhaps it cannot simply be called a palace.
Looking at the ancient religious murals depicting towers and war scenes, and looking at the dilapidated statue of Mohu God enshrined in front of the palace, Sebastian's heart moved slightly:
"This is... an underground temple?"
Taking a deep breath, Sebastian carefully searched for the holy symbol 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 once again discovered the mark of the Thorn Rose.
He calmly continued to move forward along the marks, deeper into the temple, and finally came to an ancient stone door.
It was a huge stone gate, at least twenty meters high.
The stone door is carved with unclear patterns, and there are grooves surrounding the patterns.
There was a strong smell of blood coming from the groove. Sebastian took a look and soon saw some residual blood stains.
In the center of the door, you can also see a symbol of the Devil's Eye. The symbol is obviously newly carved. It can be vaguely seen that before that symbol, there were actually other symbols originally carved on the door.
"This is……"
Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is the mark of the Blood Demon Archduke..."
"Haha, I really didn't expect that there is still an ancient palace left in the North. No wonder those crazy people from the Blood Demon Order want to do some tricks here."
】
A lazy voice came from behind him, and Sebastian was instantly alert.
He almost subconsciously drew his weapon, and then he saw a handsome young man dressed in black appearing behind him.
"Bloodlines?"
Looking at the other party's scarlet eyes, Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
But the handsome young man smiled slightly and looked Sebas up and down:
"Red hair, tuxedo, you are Lord Castel's butler, right?"
"This is our first meeting, Mr. Sebastian, you can call me Yurst."
