Chapter 19: A Terrible Howl for the Holy City of the Night Sky 2
The holy city of Rapoll is located on a plain, with walls nearly six meters high and a moat more than ten meters wide. The walls of the www.biquge.info that stand on the earth are so strong and indestructible that they have become a symbol of Rapoll in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Holy City. The combination of church and state allowed the faithful followers of these twin goddesses to unite and create prosperity together. The Holy City is also the cultural and economic center of the continent, and the influx of outsiders from its towering gates is staggering at a staggering number. However, the Holy City has never been invaded by inhuman demons, and it is the last paradise of mankind.
After taking the potion, Sulfona and Eudora wore the black cloak that travelers often wear, and followed the crowd into the Holy City. Sulfona still wears a double ponytail hairstyle, but her own temperament has not changed much, and she looks sharp-eyed and steady. After depositing the greatsword she had carried with her for a month, Sulfur felt as if something was missing. In order to calm the restlessness in her heart, she bought a talisman dagger commonly used by mercenaries and inserted it at her waist. It's just that it's doubtful that the thin blade can withstand the strange power of Sulfona.
After Eudora regained her long aqua blue hair, she looked much softer. She wore a dress decorated with gold thread under her cloak, with special ties around her waist and elbows - a special design for dancing. People rely on clothes, and Eudora, who has taken off her greatsword uniform, is like a blooming lily, exuding a fresh charm. The delicate figure and slightly reddened delicate face stunned the soldiers who guarded the door. Other than that, the two girls never had any trouble entering the city. The two travelling sisters are music lovers who have heard about the upcoming music event in the Holy City. The elder sister Sulfona is silent, and the younger sister Eudora is generous and cute, and these two beauties are watched by everyone as soon as they enter the city.
A broker approached Sulfura with a business smile. He had been keeping an eye on the two girls for a long time, and his years of experience as a broker had made him realize that it was a good business.
"What ...... would you like to stay in?"
Startled, Sulfona took a blatant step back. The broker only felt dizzy in front of him, and the girl was no longer in place. Surprised, Eudora came over to relieve the siege.
"I'm sorry, my sister isn't scared, just tell me if you have any recommendations. ”
The girl's pretty face made the broker quickly forget about the unpleasantness just now, and he dragged Eudora and began to introduce the surrounding shops. Between the words, he also talked about the surrounding places of interest and strange things, but he also took them together as a tour guide. Eudora smiled as she dealt with the broker as she privately tugged Sulfona and wrote in the palm of her hand.
"What's wrong? This person is a demon?"
"It's not...... No, I don't know......," Sulfur wrote hesitantly, her face pale, obviously in a bad mood, "just a little worried, what if he was a demon." ”
Having lost her sense of demons, Sulfur is quite wary of the people around her. She thinks everyone is suspicious, everyone is a demon. Before she knew it, she had tightened the sword at her waist. Just now, the broker suddenly invaded Sulfona's side, and the excited Sulfona almost cut off the broker's head with a sword. If she hadn't taken a step back just now, the other party would have already been in a different place. It's just that Sulfona's movements of taking out her sword, retreating, and retracting her sword are extremely fast, and no one can see it clearly at all.
"Well......" a wry smile appeared on the corner of Eudora's mouth, "but haven't you thought about it? If you are not a demon, you can't be a bad person? Even if we don't take secret medicine, we can't tell the good guy from the bad guy, don't you feel afraid? If you accidentally provoke the villain, he will drug your meal, stab you while you sleep, destroy what you like, and hurt the people you cherish. Aren't you worried?"
Sulfona glanced at Eudora in surprise, and she saw sad memories in the depths of the other's deep blue eyes. It was only now that Sulfona understood why Eudora cared so much about the distance between people. It seems that she is deeply wary of the absence of anyone around her.
"Are you not scared now?" asked Sulfona.
"Scared, of course scared......," Eudora smiled confidently, "it's because I'm scared that I can't behave out of the ordinary." It is because of fear that we have to be careful everywhere. It's a cruel world, you have to get used to it as soon as possible......"
"Wouldn't it be tiring?"
"Well, it's tiring. It's only when I'm dancing that I can relax, and I try my best to stretch my body and master my steps. Eudora met Sulfona's eyes, "Do you know why I love to dance? They watched my dance, not me. Only then will I be able to get a moment of leisure. ”
Sulfona frowned and thought deeply, she felt that Eudora's words were profound, but not all right. Before they knew it, Sulfona and Eudora had been dragged to a hotel by the brokers. Dajian is completely the master of money, and the organization is even richer, so the two girls live in a high-end hotel without any pressure. After settling down briefly, Eudora sought out the broker who had brought them over and asked him about the concert. After the broker had the money Eudora had given him, he busily began to answer the girl's questions.
"Are you talking about Baron Agnes' 'Flower Banquet'?"
"That's it, yes. ”
"Sure enough, the two young ladies are here for this. The broker smiled, "You don't need to ask me anything about this kind of thing, everyone knows about it." All those who want to attend the festival can sign up at the reception at the entrance of Baron Agnes' Palace, and those who sign up will be able to appear at the festival after an audition. If you are particularly outstanding, you can also perform in front of the nobleman. If you take advantage of the opportunity, you might be able to soar to the sky......"
Eudora frowned. When she heard the audition, she realized that it was not good, and now that the festival was only three days away, it was very problematic whether she could arrange for Lena to perform with her. The broker paid attention to the expressions of the two girls, and he continued cautiously.
"But the two young ladies shouldn't have to think about these things...... With all due respect, I think you two are generous, either rich or expensive. Instead of going to the audition with those who are inferior, it is better to use the connections at hand to participate directly in the festival. ”
Sulfona and Eudora glanced at each other, and they both saw a bitter look on each other's faces. If they really have something to do with the aristocracy, they can't even go to the music festival.
"Let's try it first...... Eudora sighed, "Tell me where the baron's palace is?"
The Baron's Palace is a building that has just begun construction the year before last, and it adopts the latest design style, and it does not look very tall. It is said to be beautifully decorated and artistically decorated. However, there were not many visitors other than the people from Baron Agnes' house, so no one could prove whether the rumors were true or not. However, there is a large fountain in front of the Baron's Palace, which is a public place open to the public. In the scorching summer, many people go here to cool off. After coming and going, "in front of the Baron's Palace" became a new place name.
In front of the "Baron's Palace", there was already a long queue of people dressed in formatted costumes. Most of these people are armed with musical instruments, but there are also some dancers. On both sides, vendors pushing trolleys are hawking along the street, and the scene is very lively. Eudora and Sulfona stood at the end of the line. From here, everything is overwhelmed by the vast flow of people, and there is no idea how long the line is.
"How long is it going to be like this...... Eudora complained.
Sulfona stood beside Eudora dumbfounded, not saying anything. If you look at your expression, it seems that you are wandering. Eudora felt as if she was the only one who cared if the task could be completed, like a fool. She had also had a fight with Sulfur because of other things. But for someone who just looks at you silently and doesn't talk back, there is nothing Eudora can do. So she poured her anger out on the organizers.
"This is so unreasonable, can we just stand here? If it doesn't meet the requirements in the end, won't the queue be in vain for such a long time!"
The broker who came with Eudora hurriedly hid and pulled Eudora for a while.
"My eldest lady, don't talk nonsense...... Do you know who is doing this concert?"
"Is that Agnes?"
"That's right, it's Baron Agnes. The broker said solemnly, "Everyone respects Lord Baron. You see......"
Eudorah looked around and found that the candidates were glaring at her. She realized she had said the wrong thing and shrunk her neck.
"You're probably a stranger, so it's not very clear. Originally a musician, Lord Agnes found her church in disrepair when she found it in disrepair and volunteered to build a new church for the goddess. She built the church ahead of schedule with only half the work, and was elected superintendent of civil engineering. Later, she did a lot of great things, and was made a baron and became the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Holy City. She is the wisest person in our holy city. ”
"No matter how smart she is, it's not right for us to have a long queue. Eudora was still a little unconvinced.
"Actually, there is another reason why people are queuing. "So anyone who has participated in the audition can be eligible to attend the concert regardless of whether they have passed it or not." Although I just stood outside and watched, there were no boxes and seats, and I was not with the nobles. But everybody is happy too. In the past, ordinary people had no chance to participate in this kind of activity. ”
Eudora nodded, it turned out that these people had come to get the right to sit in on the concert. Her heart moved, so maybe they could blend in with the concert. However, Eudora quickly reacted that the concert was not the point, and that they were going to contact the upper nobles this time. The common people and the nobles who were observing this kind of observation must have been strictly separated.
"But now that it's open, can't you just buy tickets? You can also make a lot of money......
"This is because the Baron is a lover of music, so he is reluctant to take money. ”
"It's a loss...... "Although money means nothing to the greatsword, Eudora still can't get rid of the shackles of human memory.
"Do you really think that the Baron is at a loss?" the broker smiled slightly, "Look at these vendors who sell snacks and ice water to the people in line, and they buy their goods from the nearby Baron's Palace. When the concert is held, the Baron's Palace will sell a large number of things, which is called real profit. ”
Eudora was slightly stunned, then sighed. She really admired this unmasked Agnes this time. At this point, Eudora suddenly remembered that there was also a little sister of Agnes beside her. Gossip is also a woman's nature, and Eudora, who knows that Iona doesn't have a crush on Agnes, wants to know what Sulfura will say about each other.
Eudora was about to poke Sulfona's palm, when she suddenly heard the sound of a flute. Sulfona didn't know when she had pulled the flute from the flute bag she was carrying behind her and began to blow.
