Once upon a time there was an ancient castle called Lefudi. Speaking of this Lefudi Castle, there is a little-known story.

It turned out that this Lefdui Castle was an old capital within the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. There is an ancient fort in this old capital, which has been closed since ancient times and has never been opened for generations. Not only that, whenever the ruler of this capital dies. When a new king takes the throne, it is customary to add a lock to the door of the castle to seal the fort. Throughout the ages, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and no emperor has changed this hereditary traditional habit. In this way, the emperors of various dynasties have sealed 24 locks to the castle.

However, after the Romans ruled Lefudi Castle for 24 generations, they were finally invaded by foreign enemies and captured by foreign tribes. Occupation. Since then, the ancient castle of Lefudi has changed dynasties and transferred power to others, and has become the jurisdiction of foreign rulers. After this alien ruler became the ruler of this ancient castle, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was determined to change everything here, especially to break the outdated habits. Not only did he no longer lock the gates of the ancient castle, but he was determined to open the ancient castle in the city, uncover the mysterious veil of this ancient castle with his own hands, and see with his own eyes what mysteries were in this thousand-year-old castle.

The new king was determined to open the castle and make its secrets public to the world. This earth-shattering news spread like wildfire and soon spread all over the country, like a thunderbolt, which shocked the people of the whole country. Those well-known people left over from the Roman Empire were even more surprised when they heard this news. The new king wanted to make an exception not to lock the door of the castle, but to open the castle. They felt that this was more uncomfortable than poking their hearts with sharp knives! So the three of them ran around in groups, lobbying everywhere, trying to persuade the new king to change his mind about opening the castle and keep their customs passed down from generation to generation through various means. But the people they recommended to persuade the new king to change course came back one by one, and they all met with ashes. No one could convince the new king. The persuasion of the Romans strengthened the new king's determination to open the castle. In this extremely urgent situation, they met the new king collectively and expressed their willingness to give all their savings. The belongings are unreservedly dedicated to the new king as long as he changes his mind. However, the new king's temperament is very persistent. Once a decision is made, the eight horses cannot be pulled back. No one listens to anything, but just goes their own way. He said to all who came to speak:

"This is my temper, I have made up my mind, I have to open this castle and see what is inside! You are all dead, stop talking! Whoever dares to talk too much in the future will be killed!"

In this way, no one dared to speak out, so he had to go his own way. The new king ordered the guards to remove the 24 locks on the door of the ancient castle and open the gate of the ancient castle. The new king personally led the crowd into the ancient castle, thinking to himself, this ancient castle is so old. It is unfathomable, and there must be countless priceless antique treasures in it. If I don't take it, who will I leave it to?

With a very curious mood, the new king went deep into the ancient castle and saw a spacious promenade in the ancient castle. The walls were engraved with very bright colors. There are still very clear murals, including a large mural painted with the image of the Arab nation. Some of the people in the painting were riding camels, some were straddling war horses, some were holding sharp swords, and some were carrying sharp spears. He picked up the scroll, opened it, and saw that it read: "The day this fort was opened, when the Arabs in the frescoes conquered that city!"

The new king read the words written on the scroll, and felt strange, and Best could not understand it. He felt more and more novel, and went inside. But the castle was empty, and there was hardly anything special worth investigating. There were no treasures for him to hunt. The new king came with joy and returned with disappointment.

This historical fact is well documented. It turns out that the city referred to in this scroll to be conquered by the Arabs was the capital of a very old and wealthy kingdom in Spain. During the reign of the Honmian Caliph Velid, it was in the year that the old castle in the city of Lofodur was opened by the new king. Shortly after the new king opened the castle, it was conquered by Arabs led by Talugu. Occupation. After the city was destroyed, the new king died tragically in the war, and the capital began to be replaced by Talugu. King Talugu confiscated all the property that the king had looted, and the number was so large that the world was shocked. Among them, there were more than 170 pearl and gem crowns alone; there were also countless rare jewels. In the palace there is an incomparably wide one. An unusually grand hall, where knights can ride horses. Practice exercises. Competitions. All the furnishings in the hall. The utensils are made of gold and silver, not only that, but the style is so exquisite that it is difficult to describe in words. There is a dining table made of jade in the hall, and the bowls, cups and plates and other utensils on the table are all made of gold. Peridot is made. It is said that the dining table and cutlery were originally relics used by St. Solomon the Great, and are still preserved intact in a Greek city. And the "Song of Solomon" of the Old Testament is also treasured in the palace. The rare "Song of Solomon" was written neatly on gold leaves in Greek by the most famous craftsman at that time, and it was inlaid with jewels and jade. The cover is decorated to make the "Song of Solomon" look more elegant and beautiful. In addition, there is a study of gold and stones in the palace. Plants. Mineral properties. Characteristics. Uses, and explanations of the mysteries of spells. A marvelous book analyzing the principles of alchemy. There is also a rare book about polishing. Inlaid with precious jade and prepared poisons. Antidote and other secret recipes. On the walls of the palace hangs a very delicate one. Detailed world maps and alloys specially made for St. Solomon the Great. An oval-shaped rare treasure mirror with images of the five continents and the four seas can be seen. There are also two warehouses in the palace, one of which stores a powerful alchemy. One silver coin can be used to refine 1,000 silver coins into 1,000 gold coins; while the other warehouse houses the famous and precious rubies. These rare treasures were collected by Talugu and sent to Baghdad to be dedicated to Caliph Welide.
