Behind the castle gates was a wider courtyard, paved with square stone tiles, a fountain, and several sculptures of Roman warriors that looked to be at least several hundred years old.
There were dozens of armed men in the courtyard, standing in different corners, in different positions, and all very well equipped with clear German gear.
The white youth led Ning Tao through the courtyard and into a striped stone corridor that had been stepped on very smoothly, finally arriving in the hall of the castle.
The hall was a tall, expansive space, with a dozen massive stone pillars holding up an oval dome. On the front wall hung a flag that was embroidered with the design of a heraldic shield, with blue and white prisms interlacing and covering the entire flag.
Ning Tao glanced at the flag, but didn't know what it symbolized.
The hall was empty and there was no one waiting.
"One moment, please." The young white man leading the way headed for the stairway
Ning Tao's mouth was tinged with a strange smile, "Mr. Thomas, are you calling for someone?"It was knowing and mocking.Thomas, however, didn't have the heart to count on that as he said in German, "You two go check it out."The two bodyguards walked quickly toward the door, both drawing their pistols as they walked, and then cautiously stepped through the doorway.However, the two bodyguards had just gone out when two dull thuds came from outside the door, and then there was no movement.Thomas growled in German, "What's posted what?"No one responded to him.Fan Wahluo was also stunned and looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes. He wasn't sure what was happening outside, but he could guess that there were Ning Tao's people outside, but Ning Tao didn't tell him beforehand.The white youth carrying the code box suddenly let go of the code box he was carrying in his right hand, while grabbing the G36 assault rifle hanging on his chest.
It was an old-fashioned study, with a few wooden bookshelves holding a number of thick books, and those books looked old as well. Next to a floor-to-ceiling window stood a mahogany desk, on which was an open book, as well as ink bottles and quills inserted inside them, as well as fire paint and whatnot. Next to the desk, between the window and the wall sat a suit of plate armor, everything from a helmet to combat boots, and a large, two-handed sword held in silver gloves that still looked sharp.Such a study gave Ning Tao a feeling of having traveled to the Middle Ages.Charles placed two vases on the desk, and Ning Tao also placed two plates on the desk. When he placed the plates, he intentionally glanced at the ancient book spread out on the desk. It wasn't actually a book, but a notebook, with some strange patterns drawn, as well as words. Unfortunately, the writing was peculiar, not like German, and he couldn't read it at all, nor did he know what country it was from
There are all kinds of ghost stories in the Eastern world, and the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is also the traditional Ghost Festival, which is also known as the Mid-Yuan Festival. Legend has it that on that day the King of Hell opens the gates of hell and lets the ghosts who have been tortured for a year come to earth to enjoy a blood meal. The Western world also has its ghost stories, and vampires are one of the most famous.Vampires on the silver screen are invariably handsome and flawless, feeding on human blood, and those whose blood has been sucked by a vampire are assimilated. Vampires are afraid of sunlight, and when the sun shines on their skin, their skin will smoke and fester. However, what is played in the movie is, after all, played by actors, how can there be such an existence as vampires in this world?"That ......" Ning Tao looked at Bai Jing's eyes and said tentatively, "Sister Bai, the blood demon you're talking about wouldn
The Heaven's Beyond Clinic had not yet reached the rent collection day, but the Good and Evil Cauldron had already stored tens of thousands of Good and Evil Clinic Funds, and what was even more rare was the balance of Good and Evil. After taking care of the funding matter, Bai Jing and Qing Chou started the matter of Divine Charity Company, recruiting employees and identifying the protagonist of the Good People Program, while Ning Tao offered to practice in seclusion on his side.This closure was half a month long.The Outer Heaven Clinic was quiet and silent, the good and evil qi curled up in the Good and Evil Cauldron, and Ning Tao sat cross-legged next to the Good and Evil Cauldron running the Ice and Fire Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique. The left side of his body was scorching hot and the right side was freezing cold, half of it enduring the torment of fire and half of it enduring the test of ice.Ice and fire was a specialized term, and Ning Tao was in t
It was not known how many times the ground kicked each other, Ning Tao was kicked out of the inner world. But without waiting for him to open his eyes, he opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.Other people's Ice and Fire was a pleasure, but his Ice and Fire was a torture. At the end of an Offer, every bone in his body hurt as if it had been pounded with a hammer. Even his organs, his muscles, his skin felt as if it had been pounded inch by inch by a red-hot, frozen hammer, and he felt as if he would fall apart at any moment at this moment.Ning Tao took a few breaths and pulled out his cell phone.The phone has long since died, but the screen doubles as a mirror.Ning Tao brought his cell phone to a height parallel to his face, passed his eyes to look at it, and froze at a glance.In the "mirror", his eyes were black, his nose was bleeding, his lips were a little swollen, and when he looked in the "mirror", a trace of blood flowed out fr
A door of convenience opened, and Ning Tao stepped out of the pitch-black, ink-like hole. His line of sight was a dark sea water, but not a single drop splashed onto his body.Snap!A snowy beam of light shot out of the tactical flashlight and several fish fled in panic. A white skeleton lay on a mossy wooden bed soaked in seawater.That's Yang Yuhuan's skeleton.This place is that Great Tang Shipwreck."Elder Tai Zhen, sorry to disturb you again." Ning Tao slightly bowed to Yang Yuhuan's skeleton.The dead are great and deserve to be honored.Ning Tao opened the small medicine box and took out the small porcelain bottle containing the fourth version of the Ancestor Seeking Pill, poured that Ancestor Seeking Pill into his hand, and then handed it to his nostrils for a deep sniff.Boom!The scene in front of his eyes sensationally distorted, and that one image surfaced in front of Ning Tao's eyes again, a violent storm, frightenin
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells ......Shortly after nightfall, Ning Tao's cell phone rang with an incoming call. It was still the same number, it was a call from Charles."Mr. Charles, have you arrived at your destination?" Scratching the answer button, Ning Tao opened the door.Charles' voice came from the phone, "Mr. Ning, I've arrived, when can you come."Ning Tao said, "Put the piece of paper I gave you in a room with no one in it, and remember that there can't be anyone present in that room, including you, so that I can ensure that I can cast the spell successfully, or else I won't be able to help you.""Okay ......" came the sound of footsteps on the cell phone, the sound of the door opening, and finally Charles' voice again, "I have placed that note you gave me in the middle of an unoccupied room, I have closed the door, and I am personally guarded the door of the room for you, and you may cast your spell.""See you later." Ning Tao hung up the
As soon as he entered the seawater, the seawater automatically retreated, Ning Tao didn't need to do any diving action at all then he quickly fell down like a stone thrown from the roof of a building. Of course, it's not that fast, the sea water under his feet will form a little buoyancy before retreating. If jumping into the sea was the same as jumping out of an airplane, then it would only take him about ten seconds or so to fall to the bottom of the sea, and then fall into a piece of meat cake.The five fish demons chased Ning Tao and dived downwards, and Ning Tao saw their demonic state.Yang Sheng's demonic form was half human and half fish, with his feet turning into a shark's tail and his back bearing shark's fins. His face also changed, with gills appearing, and his mouth became a bloody mouth.Zhang Qianjie's demonic form was a bit exaggerated, with six extra arms and a pair of legs that had turned into octopus tentacles. Other than this feature, there was
