Chapter 288: It's All Green
Spectacles? Yang Yi doesn't understand that there are glasses in this world, and even if there are glasses, it can be seen that a magician can wear glasses? Yang Yi asked the officials guarding the city gate suspiciously: "Why do you wear glasses?" ”
"The Emerald City is a very beautiful city, shining with beautiful light, if you don't wear glasses, the light will blind your eyes, I don't mean to embarrass you, everyone in this city, wear these glasses day and night, you are outsiders, you must wear glasses, because your eyes will not adapt to the brightness inside, the great Oz commanded this, I have the only key here, I can open the glasses."
As the official spoke, he opened the big green box beside him, which was filled with glasses of various sizes, some of which were larger and some of which were smaller, obviously for others, but the style of the frames was the same, round and round, and the lenses were all green, like polarizers, more like jade lenses.
"You can choose whatever you want, find the glasses that suit you, and when you wear them, I will take you to the great Oz."
Since it is a rule, Yang Yi has no reason not to agree, he picked a pair of glasses that suit him in the box, and after wearing them, the world has become green, and the green one is called a thorough, Yang Yi is quite speechless, I don't understand why the magician named Oz likes green so much, is it Wang Bachengjing?
The glasses that Yang Yi wore were still different from ordinary glasses, which had two flat gold bands, which were tightly tied around the back of his head, and they were locked with a small key. At the end of this key, there is a chain that is wrapped around the officer's neck. After putting on the glasses, Yang Yi couldn't take them away at will, this was obviously a very clever constraint, even a shackle, anyone who entered the city was under control, and it was impossible to plot against him.
Not only did Yang Yi wear glasses, but the tin man was also forced to wear glasses, Yang Yi didn't understand this, the iron man's eyes were strictly speaking two holes, and he could be blinded by the light? But the tin man still put on his glasses, and then the glasses were locked with a key, and then the official himself put on his eyes, took a large golden key from a wooden nail on the wall, opened another door, and Yang Yi followed him, through the entrance, and walked into the streets of the Emerald City.
Although Yang Yi wears glasses, he is still shocked by this magical city, there are beautiful houses everywhere, all over the streets, all made of green marble, decorated with sparkling green jadeite everywhere, Yang Yi walked on the road, very dreamy, because the road surface is caused by the close connection of pieces of jadeite, line by line, shining brilliantly by the bright sun. The windows are inlaid with green glass, and even the sky in the city glows a faint green, and the sun's rays are dyed green.
In the Emerald City, many people came and went, men, women and children, completely dressed in green, and even their skin was slightly green. They all looked at Yang Yi and the Tin Man with amazement, but none of them spoke to them. Many shops lined the street, and Yang Yi saw that everything in the store was green. Sells green candy, green maize, green fruits, and a variety of green shoes, green hats, and green shirts. In another place, there is a man who sells green lemonade, and when the children go to buy it, the money paid is also green.
Yang Yi has been in the fairy tale world for a long time, and the places he has visited are not less, and his knowledge is very comparable, but he never dreamed that one day he would come to a country full of green, and it seems that this green country is still very harmonious, and the harmony of green is really curious and strange.
There were no horses in the Emerald City, and there were no animals in sight, chickens, ducks, dogs, sheep, cows and horses, none of these animals could be seen, Yang Yi and the tin man followed the officials, and walked along the emerald paved road for almost an hour, passing through several streets, and came to an old-fashioned castle.
This is supposed to be the palace of the great magician Oz, a soldier standing in front of the door, wearing a green uniform and a long green beard. The officer came to the door with Yang Yi and the tin man, and politely said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Hello, brave soldiers, there are a few guests here, and they have asked to meet the great Oz. ”
The green soldier looked at them with contempt and said, "Come inside." I'm going to inform the great Oz of your intentions. ”
The officials led Yang Yi and the tin man through the palace gates and were ushered into a large room covered with a green carpet, full of lovely green furniture made of jade. Before entering the room, the soldier told them to wipe the soles of their shoes on the green mats. When they had sat down together, the soldier said, "I will now go in and tell Oz that you are here to see him, and that you should rest here for a while." ”
After the soldier finished speaking, he turned his head and went out, leaving the official to accompany Yang Yi, the official seemed to be a little restless, Yang Yi was very curious, and asked, "Are you nervous?" ”
"No, it's just that I've never seen Oz in person, and I don't know if I'll be able to see him this time."
Yang Yi was curious and just wanted to ask again, that soldier is back, this special mother came back too quickly, right? Yang Yi asked curiously, "Have you seen Oz?" ”
"Ah, no," replied the soldier, "I have never seen him." I could only see him sitting behind the curtain, speaking to him, and telling him what you meant. He said, "You are so eager to see him, and he allows you to see him, but you must come to him alone, and he will see only one a day." So you're going to have to stay here for two days, and I'm going to have to open a room for you to rest......"
Yang Yi wondered, if Oz was really a great magician, he didn't need to pretend to be a ghost like this, he had to wear glasses first, and then he didn't show up, and even only one person was allowed to see him a day...... Yang Yi didn't understand, what did a person with a sound mind do with so many moths?
Or is the whole Emerald City just a moth? Yang Yi's heart moved, and he said to the soldiers: "We are very eager to see the great Oz, but we must abide by the rules, can we only let my friend Tin Man see Oz today?" ”
The soldier tilted his green head for a moment and said, "I can go and say again." ”
The soldier went again, and Yang Yi thought for a moment and asked the officer who followed him, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to when meeting the great Oz?" ”
"Keep your head down, don't look up at Oz's face, he doesn't like people to see his face, or he'll be angry, and the consequence of his anger will be to lock up the people who see him, forever, or kill ......"
The official had never seen Oz, he was just accompanying the person who came to see Oz, but he had never gone in, so he said that he had never seen Oz's true face, everything was just what he had heard, Yang Yi tried a few more words, and didn't ask anything at all, but the tin man had been thanking Yang Yi for giving him the opportunity to see Oz for the first time.
Yang Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he let the Tin Man see Oz first, not because he was righteous enough, let alone because he was great enough, but he wanted to test what it was like to see Oz, and when it was his turn, he could be better prepared, because Yang Yi felt that something was wrong, Oz's behavior was not like the behavior of a great magician.
And this Emerald City is so weird, why would a magician be so obsessed with green? Coupled with the strangeness of the city gate and the need to wear glasses, Yang Yi paid an extra eye and whispered to the iron man: "You must be cautious when you see Oz, carefully ask him your request, and when you come back, tell me the whole ......process."
The Tin Man agreed ignorantly, and after a while, the greenbeard soldier returned, saying that Oz could see the Tin Man first, so they went to Oz's palace under the escort of the soldiers and the officials, and came to a hall where there were several noblewomen and nobles, who seemed to be waiting for Oz's summons.
Someone went in to tell Oz, Yang Yi and the Tin Man stood outside and waited patiently, and while waiting, a nobleman who was also a green man looked at Yang Yi and the Tin Man and whispered, "Do you really want to see the terrible Oz's face?" ”
The aristocrat used the word terrible to describe Oz, obviously having seen Oz, Yang Yi cautiously asked tentatively: "Is Oz terrible?" ”
The green nobleman whispered to Yang Yi: "Oz doesn't like people asking to see him, really, at first he was angry and said that he wanted to send you back from where you came." At this time, you have to be careful, remember not to look up at Oz's face, because his face is very scary, which will only anger him, so remember my words, and you must not look up when talking to Oz, otherwise you will be in trouble......"
If Oz didn't like people to look at his face, with his power, he would have asked the attendants to tell the people who asked to see him, but he didn't, and he arranged for these nobles who looked extremely false to tell others in a sneaky way, how inferior and cowardly would this be?
A great magician, the ruler of the Emerald City, does he need to do these little things? Yang Yi felt more and more weird, he keenly felt that the Emerald City was not as simple as it seemed to be, and Oz was doing so many things just to hide something.
Yang Yi thanked the green nobleman, and also told the tin man not to look up at Oz's face, at this time, a bell rang, and a green attendant came out and let the tin man in, and Oz would receive it......
