Chapter 229: Ku Quan[2]

Inside a large hall, which was lit up by a dim candle light, the waxed floor paved with thick wooden boards looked so bright and smooth that one could even see the clear reflection oneself in it.

The arc roof was supported by twelve thick and huge pillars, which were built in two lines, with each having bronze candle holders. Thumb-thick candles, which were made from animal oil, had been blazing and letting out sizzling noise. Every time the oil popped in the flame, the candle light would abruptly grow a slight bit brighter.

Under each pillar, a few fully armed warriors were standing there, while holding their hands in front of their chests, each carrying a long sword. From under their thick metal masks, one could hear their beast-like heavy breathing.
