The second part of the undercurrent

The King's holiday was finally determined at the end of August. The Via Rose Castle - it was a castle built in the early fifteenth century, like many of its kind. Its original function was to attack and reserve forces, which was different from what people usually knew. The original castle was used more to attack and belonged to the king or the king's subordinates. Although they always argued that it was threatened by false barbarians to continuously build this bulky weight with a large amount of stone.

But in fact, the castles spread all over Sardinia only provide a solid residence and warehouse for the large army reserved for "defense". Not only does it not bring peace or unity as they claim to fight against the invaders, but instead contribute to the ever-growing local wars—their source often falls on personal desires or arrogance rather than the high-sounding names and ridiculous charges that they say and force monks to record in history books.

Therefore, its appearance is not as gorgeous as the crown castle standing in the inner city of East Sardinia, which is exquisite in shape and structure... It is eye-catching... The latter is to some extent more suitable for being a "fortress" in the castle because the entire Sardinian capital is a huge castle outer city; while the former looks like a part of the rock slope, which has a ten-foot-thick wall, arrow tower, battlements and trenches. The moat and suspension bridge base are without exception. The gray and inconspicuous stone excavated from the site - of course, this refers to the exposed parts of dense flowers and leaves.

The Sardinian royal family, who had been engaged in four centuries invaded by the colonists, repaired the castle not far from the capital. The room was painted white and gold with silk or fur carpets, and added comfortable sand and seats of velvet and satin. In winter, logs burned in the huge fireplace. The room was always filled with flowers. In summer, the sweet and pleasant fragrance was everywhere.

The land before and after the castle produces various fresh fruit peaches, grass, wooden onions, red currants, gooseberry, figs, apples, pears and persimmons. But at most, the crawling roses are well adaptable everywhere. When people are indulged in a year, they can grow to twelve feet. So one summer, people were surprised to find that the entire castle was almost covered by unscrupulous serrated oval leaves and clusters of red and white double petal flowers. This place was renamed the Via Rose Castle. Its original name comes from a Sardinian hero and saint in that dark time, which was obviously too sharp and ironic.

The moat is connected to the artificial canal not far from the castle. During war, this can ensure that the enemy cannot drain the water in the moat, which is conducive to the cleanliness and activity of the water quality. Fish, shrimps, and river snails can be found in the moat. Swans and wild ducks often come for food. Suddenly, a big silver fish's tail slapped hard in the water. It made a loud noise. But the fox came from nowhere. It was fascinated by it and hid in the grass beside the river. It was full of concentration and stared at its movements until the sudden shadow covered its tail and half of its body. It suddenly turned back alertly. Human feet were almost stepping on its tail. ()

Its chirping screams penetrated into the dense grass.

The temptation of food makes it lose some vigilance. If the visitor is a good hunter who is quite interested in fox fur, it will not try the taste of death before its prey today.

Alex and his foster brothers, the grey-headed sinister guy (that was the unification informal name of Wilder Glieri by the nobles who tried to tease the rough "Western Sardinians" in some ways, but instead put themselves in trouble) ended the wild walk before dinner - although they didn't need to use it to increase appetite, this method was perfect for one-on-one conversation.

Xude has already begun to move - the new "King of Western Sardinia" in its prime is naturally impossible not to know what is happening in his territory. Although under the "requests" of the Salieri family and the government's severe blows and warnings, most of the old families have gradually abandoned their drug business and turned to construction and finance. Although these two items inevitably involved coercion, intimidation, blackmail and assassination at the beginning, they are indeed much smaller than the crisis caused by the drug business. This is good, but the problem is that as the traffic of Western Sardinia, a drug transit station shrinks, the dependence on drugs is deeply rooted. Addicts in the Western Continental Federation and several surrounding countries are now becoming more and more expensive... The requirements of drug buyers are getting bigger and bigger and more urgent - and some families are still moved by the rich profits that can be obtained in just a few days. They have once again begun to get the depravity and festering white powder.

The Triangle Sea Base of the Saeri family was traded to Anto at the price of a living Balden when Doncelieri was alive. The place was abandoned after he fled from Western Sardinia (in terms of drug business), but someone used it. The Triangle Sea Base could directly bypass various ports without passing Western Sardinia and "purchase" from the Eleutian Islands. Buyers ships and helicopters from the Western Continent can trade directly with sellers on the high seas.

Xude's eyes were firmly fixed on the place - sometime when it was re-militarized by Sardinia. King Sardinia, who had sneaked into the place to investigate the situation and was shot four times. Although he was sent back to Sardinia alive and was charged with illegal invasion and espionage, he was permanently paralyzed from his chest - which was even more painful than killing him directly. As a result, he managed to hang himself with a towel while showering.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of Sardinia's plague, Delier would not have let go of those poisonous snakes easily - even so, his actions were only suspended rather than terminated, now is the time to start - but he was more careful because this was no longer a simple family grudge or ordinary interest entanglement, but directly involved in the game between politics and the state. He had to ensure many things - Alex's position, the Salieri family members' security of the government, the media, the public's views and attitudes, etc.

The white snow circled Alex's figure above the castle, and it continued to repeat the strange deep chirping while flapping its wings and landing on Alex's shoulders as light as a huge snowflake.
