Chapter 136: Medis
Jacques felt that Lily had avoided him at night lately, and even when the two met, Garman was often standing next to him.
The two have grown closer ever since Jacques rescued Lily from his dream, but it was only during the day, and at night, Lily pulled Garman into a hotel room or tent.
Until the next morning, Jacques was woken up with a good morning kiss.
The clever Jacques guessed the crux of the matter, and the relationship between the two in the dream, although it was only Lily in the illusion of a nightmare, still made Lily feel embarrassed.
But he doesn't know how to solve this kind of problem, and the young man with strong blood has been looking forward to the day when his girlfriend will be ready,......
She said yes herself!
......
On the one hand, they were worried about the revenge of the elite warships provoked by the town of Illegra, and on the other hand, they were still afraid that the Whartons would send their pursuers again, and after separating from Isis, the horse team kept moving north.
Fortunately, their horse team is now full of horses of alien blood, including pack horses and spare horses, and their travel speed has been greatly improved.
After traveling hundreds of miles every day for more than twenty days, the ordinary people in the team began to feel that their bodies were about to be turned upside down, and they finally reached a place where Jacques could feel safer—Edit.
Strictly speaking, Medis is located in the middle of the New World, but it is widely regarded as the western frontier of the New World, the westernmost fortress of the civilized world.
Spread out the map of the New World, the south and central are narrow and slender, the distance from the east bank to the west bank is no more than a thousand miles at most, and the southernmost point to the city of Ruio is more than 8,000 miles, and the territory of Alixia's grandfather, Lord Astori, is in this area. It is also more than 4,000 miles from the city of Ryo to Tavaré.
Above the narrow central and southern strips is the northern part of the vast New World, which stretches north of the Brand River to the east and west.
Ten days earlier, the team had crossed the Bland River, which symbolized the boundary between the central and northern parts of the New World.
From surveying the map, it can be inferred that there is still nearly 6,000 miles from Medis in the middle to the west coast, and almost 4,000 miles from the Medis to Yorktown on the east coast.
So the appearance of the whole New World resembles a short-handled hammer that Natasha once used, with the hammer handle in the south and middle, and the massive hammer head part in the north.
Jacques had a special affection for Médis, who, according to his father, was born in the city.
Jacques's parents lived incognito in the Medis for a few years, and Jacques was born here. Although Jacques has no memory of Edith's life, not even his mother's appearance, the closer he gets to Edith, the more he feels at home and warm.
Anyone who comes to Medis will see the majesty of the city from more than 30 miles away, because it is a stone city built on thousands of meters of hills.
Legend has it that Medis was built on top of a mountain by the combined efforts of ten beastmasters, who cut mountains, carried boulders, built palaces and shelters, and built roads to climb the mountains.
All of this was done so that the king of humanity could have a place to rule over the human race, and the royal court of the Golden Empire was established in the city built by the Beastmaster.
The city had ten temples for different tribes to sacrifice to their patron saints, and at the foot of the mountain were stationed the strongest armies under the command of the Golden King, defending the tribes from the attacks of the Bolian Sun Kingdom to the west. In his palace, the Golden King reconciled the various tribes, receiving the contributions of the chiefs and their praise.
I don't know how many millennia have passed since such days.
Until more than eighty years ago, a fleet of five large and dilapidated ships, loaded with hundreds of fair-skinned, blond or brown-haired people using strange source skills, landed on the eastern shore of the Golden Kingdom.
The Golden King and his priests thought they were sick with scabies and ignored them, expecting the white-skinned men to come to Medis to build a temple of their own, to worship and sacrifice together.
A few years later, tens of thousands of white-skinned people, forming a neat phalanx, with more powerful source energy skills, more transcendents and more sophisticated weapons and equipment, completely annihilated the Golden King's army at the foot of Medis Mountain and occupied Meddis.
At that time, the commander-in-chief of the alliance of the four regions of Stuart, Gyeonggi, Northern Regions, and Saxony sat on the throne of the Golden King, and promised the heirs of the Golden Family and the priests of the various temples who knelt down in the entire hall that as long as they took out enough gold, silver, and Mithril to fill the entire hall, they would bypass their lives.
The Golden Family and the priests hollowed out dozens of secret treasure caves in the Medis Mountains, as well as the homes of the chiefs from all over the world, to finally fill the main hall.
However, the commander-in-chief of the Four Regions Alliance pointed out that there was too much gold and silver in it, and the proportion of Mithril was too small, and he still ordered them all to be pushed down on the edge of the city of Edith, on the top of the thousand-meter cliff.
Since then, there has been a small area under the city of Medis that no one dares to stop at the place where 3,000 people have fallen and died unless they have to.
After the capture of Media, the empire was considered to have swept away the strongest power in the New World, and thought that if it went westward further, it would destroy the last of the Sun God Kingdom.
It's a pity that what happened to Emperor Western Sahara in the Kingdom of Light was repeated nine hundred years later.
The Bright Kingdom of the Boliians did not confront the Legion head-on, but continued to harass and erode and engage in guerrilla warfare.
In the end, the alliance of the four regions destroyed the Temple of Light and burned the City of Light, but tens of thousands of people disappeared into the jungle inexplicably.
From then on, the Emperor announced that the conquest of the New World had stopped, and the city of Medis was the western frontier of the Empire.
The eastern half of the northern part of the rich New World was under royal rule, and the subjects of the Duchy of Stuart and the Duchy of Castile allowed colonial missions to be formed in the central and southern parts of the New World.
Walking to the foot of the vertical kilometer of the Medis, Jacques unconsciously remembered the history of this pioneering history in the history books, and talked about this history with the others.
Unexpectedly, Nameless threw out a conspiracy theory and said:
"I've heard that the Emperor deliberately let the Four Regions Alliance attack the Sun God Kingdom.
The royal family must have hidden information about these kingdoms of God, and know that there is something unprovoked there.
If the Four Regions Alliance does not all disappear into the jungle, if they come back, the royal family will face a reward of tens of thousands of people, of which at least one or two dukes, dozens of viscounts and hundreds of barons can be crowned.
Only the land of the New World can be sealed!
You see, the royal family has not had a fief for hundreds of years, and the fief has endless troubles, and in the end it can only lure these people to die, and if they die, they don't need a fief, just give a pension. ”
Seeing that Jacques and Lily seemed to agree with him, Nameless was quite happy.
Chandler, who squinted his eyes, couldn't wait to express his opinion: "If you want me to say, you Castiians are the smartest, and you don't fight to the death with the natives of the New World at all, how can it be so easy to unravel." We've been in the north for ten days, haven't you noticed that there are very few mixed races here?"
Chandler reminded Jacques, why?
As a mixed-race child, Garman spoke, "In our south, both the Imperials and the Aborigines are all Southerners in the general sense, and there is no feud between them, and they do not discriminate against each other.
Well, the Imperials still have a little bit of superiority, but at least they treat the aborigines as human beings.
I have heard that Castia's policy towards the aborigines was formulated by Mr. Lee Baptiste, who invented navigation, and we owe him a debt of gratitude. ”
The group walked and chatted until they reached the intersection of the mountain road, which was about the gate of Medis City, and the mountain city surrounded by thousands of cliffs did not need a city wall.
After paying the fee to enter the city, the horse team embarked on the winding mountain road, and the spiraling mountain road could not run horses, and the group needed to walk for more than an hour to reach the summit with the horses.
After turning around, you can see the scenery in every direction of the Medis, but by the second circle, everyone still unconsciously admires the scenery that they have seen again.
Because of the new circle, the position of the station has risen by nearly 100 meters, and the height is different, and the observation and thinking are different.
Approaching the summit of the city, Jacques stopped, leaning on the guardrail of the mountain path and looking west, as if in thought.
Lily grabbed his right arm from behind and asked, "What are you looking at, honey?" ”
Jacques turned to kiss her on the cheek and said, "I think I've looked out over the forest ahead from this vantage point, and I seem to have some memories of it." ”
Fat Tangerine also jumped on Jacques's right shoulder, blocking between the two, and said, "The emperor also has a wonderful familiarity with that jungle, could it be that the emperor's cat nest is over there?"
Jacques: "!"
