Chapter 381: Another Year
Originally, according to Emperor Chong's arrangement, they should have embarked on this journey with Ye Ziqing and accompanied by Yan Feng and Jia Shengsi.
But it seems that Wei Gong and Ye Ziqing have a heart, Ye Ziqing had already led people to the Heavenly Sword Kingdom a day ago, and he didn't have the slightest intention of carrying him. And Wei Gong himself also felt that it was very troublesome to be with others, anyway, there would be a big apprentice to pick him up at that time, and with his skills, he didn't need any guards to protect him at all.
So these two people rejected Qi Chongyu's good intentions, and then each took their families on the road.
Wei Gong and Cui Xiaoxiao set off from Chongjian Country, went north, went out of Cangyu Mountain Town Dragon Pass, arrived at Jing Sword Country, and then passed from the Dragon Prison Pass of Jing Sword Country, and arrived at the territory of Heavenly Sword Country.
Compared to the previous route from the Dream Sword Country to the west, passing through the Book Sword Country and the Jing Sword Country, and traveling through the Heavenly Sword Country, this time it was really much faster, and it almost took less than two days for them to approach Xuanyun City, the capital of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom.
The Heavenly Sword Country is located in the center of the entire continent, connecting the thick Izumo Mountains to the west, and further north is the sparsely populated bitter cold land Liangjian Country, and further west is the Fuyu Shujian Country, one of the three blessed countries of Zhentian, and the southwest of the Shujian Country is the fierce Barbarian Sword Country......
If there is a panoramic map, it can be roughly seen that the Heavenly Sword Kingdom presents the shape of a heart, and the other countries take it as the center, roughly showing the distribution of the three rings.
"Look. We're here! Emiya shouted, and he raised a finger and pointed to the mountain in the distance.
At this moment, the smile on Wei Gong's face suddenly froze......
This scene is very similar to a year ago, when Master Liu Dun of the Dream Sword Kingdom also guided him in the same way.
And by her side, there is also a future Her Majesty the Empress......
Cui Xiaoxiao only glanced at it, and was shocked, she never thought that the legendary capital of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom would be like this-
The long mountain peaks stretch endlessly, the peaks rise into the clouds and fall to the ground, floating in a sea of clouds between each other, and a long plank road paved with white marble can be faintly seen.
Above the sky, there are also towers of Babel, which are in the shape of an inverted top, as if nails were driven from the sky into the ground.
And there are about twenty such nails, which perfectly connect the mountains.
These peaks gradually rose from low to high, and when they reached the last big [spinning top], it was already nearly a thousand miles wide, and the famous Heavenly Sword Country Capital [Xuanyun City] stood on it.
In the south of the mountains, on the top of the clouds.
From a distance, the entire structure of Cloudsdale resembles a long dragon's back.
And the Ewei Palace, they could only see huge mountain peaks and endless sea of clouds at the height of their flight.
Cui Xiaoxiao also noticed the same thing that Wei Gong discovered a year ago - it turned out that those [nail keels] were not completely rooted in the ground, but were supported upward by a huge cyclone emerging from the ground.
To be able to produce such a huge cyclone is in addition to marveling at the ingenuity of the casters.
"The feeling of this air flow is especially like being built on a volcanic belt...... Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the stone pillars below in surprise and sighed softly, "It's really terrifying......
Was the entire Xuanyun City built in such a place?
What kind of ingenuity and great wisdom must have been the people who built this city......
"Really?" Emiya was also happy, "When I first came, I had the same opinion as you. ”
"That's right, those unevenly dispersed air currents have become so stable under the action of the stone pillars, just like ......" Cui Xiaoxiao frowned, "If these volcanoes erupt one day, wouldn't it be ......"
"Bah, why do you set up such an ominous flag?" Emiya grabbed her small waist and flew upward.
Cui Xiaoxiao was now able to control the red memory sword within a radius of one meter relatively proficiently, but no matter how he learned it, he couldn't fly the sword.
had to be held by the Emiya.
Although the posture is a little strange......
But Cui Xiaoxiao turned her face away, not daring to look at the palace, white clouds were floating around her, and the wind was howling, blowing her long hair.
Forget it, it's going to be done.
She took a deep breath, the nice smell of freshness on Emiya's body.
……
After flying a little further, on the platform at the end of the long white jade trestle bridge, I saw some guards dressed in white in the distance.
Emiya greeted them with a lot of amusement.
The white-clothed guard on the other side raised his head, squinting his eyes against the light.
Then he raised his hand and beckoned to the guard.
In the sunlight, you can see the kind smile on his face.
There was almost no need to show anything, and compared to the unknown swordsmith of a year ago, Emiya today seemed to be a well-known master.
Moreover, this time, the selection of sword forgers in the Sword Country was too eye-catching, and long before Wei Gong came, the people above had already ordered him to take care of him.
On the fifth roof, there will be a special person asking for a ban on flying, which means that the sword immortals will have to stop halfway through and walk up to the imperial city.
Elegant pure white marble pillars stand above the nine heavens, pure cyclones connect the major platforms, and the long white jade suspension bridge extends from one end to disappear into the clouds, and then emerges from the other end, connecting the next platform.
It's like walking in the clouds, in a fairyland.
Cui Xiaoxiao was also stunned.
She held Emiya's hand tightly, and followed him with small steps.
Because of the deep relationship between the clouds, Cui Xiaoxiao's whole person seems to be buried.
Occasionally, only a little jet-black hair can be seen.
……
Wei Gong walked on the white marble bridge, looking at the magical scenery around him, and suddenly felt a little emotional, the last time he came here, it was Jian Rin Sakura who brought him here.
There seemed to be a beautiful shadow flashing in front of him, dreamy eyes like jewels, long straight black hair, a delicate moon-shaped crown on his head, and delicate pink lips......
However, at the thought of being able to see her in Xuanyun City soon, Wei Gong couldn't help but be happy again.
Cui Xiaoxiao rolled up two big white eyes, and she couldn't wait to kick him in the shins.
This damn Wei Gong has a lustful expression, and he doesn't know what dirty and dirty things he is thinking.
And it was at this moment that a wind suddenly appeared behind them, slipped out from behind them.
almost hit Cui Xiaoxiao's body......
"Ahh I'm sorry. The man turned around and smiled at them, "Little one, you're so short, I almost didn't see you just now." ”
After she finished speaking to Cui Xiaoxiao, when her eyes were raised, her eyes suddenly froze, "Isn't this the male pet of His Majesty Jian Rin Sakura?" ”
Wei Gong saw her appearance clearly at this time, about 1.5 meters, wearing leather armor, and her arms and half of her collarbone were exposed.
The silver rings on her arms glittered in the sun, her short hair was shaggy, her big eyes were like a pair of jewels, and most incredibly, on the little girl's head, a pair of white cat ears.
"Damn, it's you again!"
