Chapter 605: The Continent of Life

"Where is this?" Yang Yi looked at the tall domed palace in front of him suspiciously.

The palace is domed with stone walls, and the oval roof is covered with countless glazed bluestone bricks and tiles that are dazzling in the sun, and the whole palace is a typical exotic architectural style, somewhat similar to the cathedral of the West, but there is also a huge complex of buildings behind the palace, which is blocked by a wall more than a foot high. Above the wall, there were crowds, pennants were unfurled, and the defense was extremely tight.

"This is the Gumo Palace." Nimuk replied in a flat tone.

"The palace?"

Nimuke saw the doubts in Yang Yi's heart, and said with a smile: "The king of Gumo wants to see us." ”

Yang Yi nodded, and then said, "King Gumo doesn't know me, what he wants to see is you." ”

Nimuk smiled noncommittally and said, "You can go to the post station to rest first, and I will ask King Gumo to send someone to send you back to Daguang safely." ”

Yang Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "If I can, I would like to go with you, after all, King Gumo won't care too much about a passer-by like me." ”

Yang Yi felt that he needed to follow Nimuke, now it seems that Nimuke's identity is definitely not simple, even if in his words, their family has trade contacts with Gumo Kingdom, and the guards can't take Nimuk to the palace without asking for a play, maybe Nimuk will indeed ask King Gumo to send someone to send him back to Daguang, but the possibility of an accident in the middle is very high, once either Nimuke or King Gumo forgets Yang Yi, then Yang Yi is likely to be trapped here forever.

Nimuk glanced at Yang Yi with a smile, he didn't agree but didn't refuse, he saw Yang Yi's worry.

In fact, Yang Yi didn't believe in Nimuk, it was just that he was too anxious to return to Daguang, where many people were waiting for him, his wife, his son, his friends, his generals...

Nimuke smiled and said something that made Yang Yi confused: "Of course you can, maybe King Gumo will like you very much." ”

At this moment, the leading officer, who had come forward to make an announcement, returned, and he spoke to Nimuk in a low voice, and then bowed and retreated alone.

Nimuke turned to Yang Yi and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

The two of them walked straight into the palace gate, and the guards at the gate did not stop them, nor did they even search whether they were carrying blades.

The Gumo Palace is very beautiful, although compared with the royal city in the capital of the Daguang Emperor, it may only be described as a southeast corner, but this does not affect the magnificence of the Gumo Palace in the slightest.

The palace of Daguang pays attention to grandeur and solemnity, and is more of a simple style, while the Gumo Palace is extremely luxurious, in addition to beautiful decorations such as silk ceramics from Daguang, pearls and jade produced in the Western Regions are also all over the details.

Yang Yi even saw that the highest palace spire of the palace was inlaid with a shining purple jade, which was the Xishen purple jade, which was even more than twice as large as the purple jade that Zen Master Basang had given to Yang Yi.

The purple jade gem was like a dazzling light at the top of the lighthouse, shining at the highest point of the entire Gumo City with the light of the sun.

The two of them walked towards the jewel palace under the leadership of a palace attendant, and on the way Yang Yi saw an amazing scene, in the most central area of the palace, a huge "swimming pool" appeared.

The reason why it is said to be a "swimming pool" is only because the water there is clear and transparent, and the entire pool is neatly inlaid with milky white stone bricks.

Of course, this is definitely not a place for people to swim, because no one can build such a huge pool, especially in the heart of a desert where water is extremely scarce.

"This is the continent of life in Gumo Country." Nimuk also seemed to be attracted by the beautiful clear water in front of him, and sighed slightly: "There is a huge oasis formed by the dark river in the country of Gumo, in order to preserve this oasis, the people of Gumo have spent countless efforts to cover the entire oasis underground, only to expose it in a few fixed places, and this water source in the Gumo Palace is the largest place to take water." ”

Yang Yi once again witnessed the great power of human beings in order to survive.

Water is the source of all things, in the desert land ravaged by drought, it is the only element of survival, the Gumo country to build the entire city on the oasis is definitely an unprecedented huge project, even in the mechanized modern society is difficult to do, but the Gumo people have done it, they have used generations of subjects to work tirelessly to completely embrace this continent of life.

From time to time, Yang Yi could see that there would be elderly people kneeling beside the oasis, their mouths were full of words, and their eyes were full of reverence, they were thanking this continent of life that had allowed Gumo Country to last for thousands of years.

Passing through the Continent of Life, Yang Yi and Nimuk came to the front of the gem palace, and the attendant motioned for the two to wait in front of the palace for a while, and then walked straight in, thinking that they were going to report.

Yang Yi wanted to know more about the Gumo Kingdom and the King of Gumo from Nimuke's mouth, but at this time, Nimuke closed his eyes and pondered, as if he was thinking about something.

Soon, the palace attendant came out of it, bowed to the two of them, and made a gesture of please.

Yang Yi followed Nimuke into the palace, and the interior decoration of the palace was the same as that of most royal palaces, with golden accents as the main style, showing the majesty of the royal family to the extreme.

The palace attendants led the two into the middle of the palace and left alone, and Nimuk did not ask but stood there silently, as if waiting for something.

Yang Yi looked at the entire palace and found that there was a long staircase above the main hall, and at the end of the stairs stood two stone pillars carved with strange patterns on the left and right sides, and a curtain was pulled up in the middle, and a wide throne could be vaguely seen behind the curtain.

After a while, a group of maids poured out from behind the curtain, and the maids slowly walked to His Highness with neat steps, and then stood respectfully on either side with their heads bowed.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a royal robe slowly walked to the throne and sat down in front of the throne with the support of the maid, Yang Yi knew that it should be King Gumo.

Nimuk finally showed a smile on his face, touched his chest with his right hand, and gently bent down and saluted: "The king of Gumo, it's been a long time. ”

Yang Yi glanced at Nimuke suspiciously, because Nimuke actually said something of great light!

Immediately, something that surprised Yang Yi even more happened, and an elegant woman's voice came from above the throne: "Nimuk, what are you doing in my Gumo country?" ”

"King Gumo turned out to be a woman?!" Yang Yi's eyes widened and he looked carefully, and saw that the figure behind the curtain was slender and slender, and it was indeed a woman.
