Chapter Seventy-Two: Worms
While Thor was making soap in the Deserted Corner, Worms on the other side of the ocean had an important day, entering the eighth day of the Wind Moon, when the violets were in full bloom, and Platinum Amber, the largest chamber of commerce in all of Wotan, held their annual meeting.

Miles Kelly sat in the rickety carriage and tossed up and down with the sound of "stomping" horses' hooves, and the noisy noise outside the window made the self-proclaimed well-informed Miles wonder, even if it was the capital of France, the flower promenade of Rosendahl, he had never heard such a lively and noisy shout.
Born in Fran, it was the first time he had come to Worms, and he couldn't help but poke his head slightly, pick open the edge of the curtain with his little finger, and look out through the gap, and the bustling city suddenly came into view.
As far as Miles could see, there were bustling market stalls, merchants shouting and attracting people to stop and stop, there were aristocratic servants in neat and well-dressed clothes, ordinary citizens in ordinary linen clothes carrying baskets of vegetables, and beggars in ragged clothes with their heads bowed on the ground looking for some rotten leaves.
As Miles's carriage with the Kelly family crest passed by, the people hurried to the sides of the street, and the eyes of the commoners showed envy and jealousy, while the servants of the nobles would stand on one side, bending slightly to salute in respect, with puzzled expressions on their faces, as if they were speculating on which nobles the carriage belonged to.
Miles shook his head slightly, as the head of Platinum Amber in the capital of France, Rosendaal, the Kelly family may be famous in the aristocratic circles of the royal city, but walking through the streets of Worms, they are not of any other ordinary aristocratic origin.
Moving his gaze forward, more inns and taverns appeared on the side of the road from time to time, and the noise gradually subsided, the road became more open, and a series of paths and dark alleys were formed between the dense buildings, and Miles looked into the depths of these dark and dark alleys, faintly a figure swayed, and the gloomy darkness did not know where to lead people's eyes.
Miles tipped his fingers forward, pulling the curtains a little wider, and bringing his head closer so he could see more of the view.
Another carriage slowly walking in front of him also came into view, and in the carriage sat his father, who was also the current helmsman of the Kelly family, and Miles was flattered that his father suddenly recalled him from Rosendale and took him to the gathering of Platinum Amber.
"Maybe it's the letter...... "A letter he sent to his father in the royal capital came to mind, and Miles came to mind, but the changing scenery outside the window pulled him back to reality.
The road became wider and wider, and as the carriage moved forward, there were even green weeping willows standing on both sides of the road, and the terrain gradually rose, and the carriage that had been driving on flat ground began to climb upward.
Because Worms is located on the top of the Floyne hills, the city is divided into upper, middle and lower districts according to the terrain, and it seems that they are almost leaving the lower district at this time and are heading to the central district.
Sure enough, they didn't go far, and when the house returned to eye level, Miles found themselves passing through a high marble wall.
Like a long snake winding away, the wall divided the lower and middle sections of Worms into two parts, with an opening in the middle, which seemed to be a passage for people, and Miles and his carriage were slowly passing through the passage.
The passage was very wide, and on each side was a guard wearing brown and red leather armor, a cape, black boots, and a short stick tied to his waist.
As if instructed to stop the carriage guards of the Kelly family, they bent down and bowed their heads to salute the passing carriage, and when the carriage crossed the intersection, Miles leaned out of the window and looked back, only to see a large golden rose embroidered behind the guards' cloaks.
When the carriage entered the central area, the buildings in the field of vision changed, there were no more dilapidated houses made of wood or stone, and the red tiles and white bricks on both sides of the road were cute and attractive two-story small buildings, the courtyard was of different sizes, the small one was just an ordinary door, and the large one had a courtyard in front of the house, surrounded by a long railing that could not be seen at a glance.
Miles couldn't see a bazaar or a tavern, and the only building that stood out from the sleek rows of houses was the imposing spire of Worms Cathedral.
The intricate minarets and dazzling patterns make this church look from afar, like a towering stone forest, with vertical spires rising high and low, reaching into the sky, and the heart is beating uncontrollably just by looking at it, as if there is no more spectacular building in the world.
For some reason, Miles secretly compared the Worms Cathedral with the St. Even's Cathedral in Rosendale in his memory, but found that the church with the name of the Son of God looked shabby at the moment.
He simply pulled the curtain and poked his head out of the carriage window to take a closer look at this mysterious and magnificent building, which made people want to indulge in it.
Just as Miles lamented that there would never be a second building in the world that would be more convincing than Worms Cathedral, he looked up.
The gaze drifted off into the distance along the rolling hills, the highest point in all of Worms, with Windsor Castle overlooking the city at the top of the Freuen hills.
Miles retracted his thoughts, deeply ashamed of the shallowness that had shocked him inside.
Looking at the vast figure of Windsor Castle from afar, it is like a cloud and mountain mist cover on the top of the mountain, which makes people tremble at the tip of their hearts for its extraordinary magnificence.
The entire castle is made of snow-white stone, and there are six towers towering into the sky, and behind the central tower is a huge, cold, imposing fortress, with a round dome with minarets covering the sky like a downward pressure on the sky.
The bridges connecting the towers, as well as the barracks, barns, and other buildings in the castle, are hidden behind by the high white walls like clouds, and the towering walls are full of arrows, as if flashing pupils, ready to shoot any enemy who dares to approach.
It is said that the magnificent castle was built by Grand Duke Conrad in memory of his beloved wife Windsor, and has been in Worms for six generations today, and the entire Windsor Castle is the upper town of Worms.
The sound of horses' hooves is soft and pleasant, and flags with golden roses flutter in the wind at the head of the city, which is the family crest of the Conrad family. As all of this came into view from near and far, Miles knew that he would soon be at the destination of his trip.
