Looking at the castle that was slowly changing from white to black, Gu Xi was speechless.
The name White Fort had originally been passed down by the local natives.
There was no reason for them to get the name of such a massive castle wrong.
By that logic, the enormous castle before him had originally been black, yet it was called White Fort.
Gu Xi shook his head and turned his gaze back.
He began examining White Fort before him again.
White Fort was a castle built upon a mountain, with a style somewhat resembling a tower castle. Numerous spires rose around its city wall.
The tallest spire stood at the very center of the castle. Combined with the mountain's height, it seemed to thrust the spire straight into the heavens.
After stepping down from the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi raised his head and looked toward the central spire.
At that moment, someone within the spire slowly walked to the window and glanced outside.
That single glance startled Gu Xi.
It was not because she was ugly or anything like that, but because Gu Xi actually "knew" her.
She was a woman draped in a black robe, yet she carried a hint of heroic bearing.
Standing at the window, she gave the impression of a general, a Witch, and a queen all at once.
Wasn't this the Black Queen whom Gu Xi had encountered in the library when he had still been rather weak?
Back then, Gu Xi had obtained a drop of True Queen's Blood from the Black Queen. He had also learned Ritual Magic, potion-making, and divination from her.
Gu Xi had never expected to encounter her here.
The Black Queen noticed Gu Xi's expression as well.
