161 History of Dast Architecture
"Sure enough, the Keeper and the Crystal Ball are a wonderful combination. The flaming rabbit sat on the lava and muttered, "But the library keeper is the key to reading the prisoner's memories. All these scenes were injected into the crystal ball by the library guards. ”
The red rabbit figured this out, got up and took two steps back and forth on the lava. "No, no. "But that shouldn't make Catherine sad." The source of this strange emotion of sadness is the fragility of the heart. Domestica doesn't create a fragile effect. ”
The red rabbit frowned slightly, and he tried to explain the reason for Catherine's sadness. If he can't find the answer, he always feels like a stone is stuck in his heart. In the Red Rabbit's conception, Catherine's weak soul is always in his hands. Even if a female mage evolves into a devil, she is still a weak devil, and naturally she can't be compared to herself as a big devil.
But at this time, Catherine, through her sad emotions, put an end to the possibility of the red rabbit reading her thoughts. This caused an indescribable uneasiness in the heart of the Hell King.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the character of the devil himself. The devils are always suspicious and curious, and they are confident that they are the smartest race in the world. Each devil thinks that the plan he has made is foolproof, and that all possible outcomes, as well as what may happen during the implementation of the plan, are expected.
Therefore, if something unexpected happens, the devils will try to find out the reason behind it and use it to refine their plan.
However, for now, the King of Hell feels like he has walked into a dead end. His deduction was untenable. "It's better to go to her illusion and see if you might find something new. ”
The red rabbit turned a thought, and the lava under his feet flew towards the edge of the crystal ball, hitting the wall with a "bang". The crystal ball is knocked out of a hole, and the lava gets stuck in the hole. The rabbit walks out of the crystal ball along the lava. This time he didn't make a big move, and even kept his body the size it was when it was inside the sphere.
The crystal ball where Catherine was being held was right in front of him. The rabbit sticks out its paws. Two elongated nails grow out of it. He rubbed his nails against each other, and a black flame burst out. He shook his hand, and the flame shot forward silently. Fall onto the wall of the crystal ball in front of you.
It immediately burst into flames, slowly burning a small hole the size of a fingertip. The red rabbit jumped up slightly. With wings stretched out from its back, it flew over like a mosquito. He flew into the small hole, and in an instant he was under a gloomy sky.
The rabbit looked down from the air, and a huge city was at its feet. The Demon King had long known from Catherine's memories that although humans were a young race, they had already achieved great success in the field of architecture. And the royal city of Dast is the culmination of the history of human architecture. Even in the human realm, it is a very rare male city.
As a result of generations of monarchs of the kingdom. The city was constantly strengthened and expanded. Today, Daxter is the first city in the Eastern Continent, which is divided into three layers, inside and outside, and gathers a population of nearly one million. This giant city is particularly famous for its rise directly from the plains. There are no mountains or rivers as a defensive barrier.
According to historical records, when the founding monarch of the country, Saint Fa, settled the capital of Daxt, Dast was still a humble town with only village facilities. Scholars have been controversing about the Greyhawk King's choice of Daxter as the capital. Because at that time, there was no such humble town in St. Faian's alternatives. Whether it is to investigate in any direction, southeast, northwest. All of them have cities with much better conditions than Daxter.
For example, east of Daxt, more than 200 kilometers away in Wende City, there is a famous castle at that time - Wendehou Castle. Wendehou Fort is built on a mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. And after five generations of management by the Marquis Wende family, the original owner of the castle, the entire castle interior is not only magnificent. The belly of the mountain has also been hollowed out and converted into a large warehouse and underground bunker. Therefore, if Wende City is chosen as the capital, it can be said that there is almost no need to build a large number of buildings. This in itself saved the kingdom a lot of money in the early days of the kingdom.
However, St. Faan eventually abandoned the city of Wind, and after surveying it himself, he chose Daxter, which no one expected.
But from any point of view, no scholar doubts the strategic vision of this great king. Daxter is located in the heart of the Eastern Continent. Its geographical location is so unique that it happens to radiate to all regions of the entire continent.
Therefore, some historians claim that St. Faian had predicted that in 500 years, Daxter would dominate the entire Eastern Continent and become the center of the continent. This argument is still quite marketable, and many historians have described the Gray Eagle King as an unpredictable prophet and a mortal saint when they write a biography of St. Faan.
The great magician Quisling was extremely ashamed of this, and publicly wrote an article criticizing such scholars for their lack of academic spirit, saying that they were "gardeners of the royal family, who only grow beautiful flowers and plants in the royal garden". This also led to the current king having a lot of criticism against Quisling, and a group of royal scholars were even more in line with Quisling, and they asked the great magician to go to the head of the Royal Academy.
The reason why Quisling was so dissatisfied was that in fact, the Holy Law had settled the capital of Daxt, which had indeed caused a lot of trouble and burden to the initial development of the kingdom. In particular, the construction of the inner city of Dast, which he presided over and implemented, was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. During the nine years of St. Faian's reign, only a third of the vast inner city was completed, and successive kings continued to build it on and off for decades. Finally, during the reign of Farus II, due to the internal and external difficulties of the kingdom at that time, the entire inner city project was hastily completed.
It wasn't until fifty years later that Daxter once again reached its architectural peak. When the Emperor Favot came to the entire Eastern Continent at the end of the Ten Kings, he followed the example of his ancestor St. Faan and began to build the Midtown of Dast on the periphery of the inner city of Dast. However, a large part of this expansion, both in terms of craftsmanship and expense, came from the war and plunder of other countries at the end of the Ten Kings.
Because of this, Midtown is one of Daxter's most distinctive architectural districts. It blended the architectural styles of the large and small kingdoms of the mainland at that time, and retained a large number of cultural characteristics of various countries. Therefore, Dast Midtown has become the most diverse and well-preserved architectural specimen area among the famous buildings in the entire Eastern Continent today, and is known as the "Hundred Nations Architecture Expo".
