Chapter 205: First Arrival in the Imperial Capital
With the help of Enlina's hypnotic potion, Ilan killed Seryosha and the other five without blood, and laid a lot of suspense, trying to blame the Blood Legion, so that the Poseidon Alliance and them would eat dog. Although all traces related to him have been erased by Ilan, he is still a novice after all, and the matter of killing people and setting fires is still a little immature, even if he sits on the white-tailed tarley, he can't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Seryosha is dead, how will the parties react? I don't know if I can draw the attention of Isthos to the Blood Legion, if they can have contradictions because of this, and even start a war and do a fight, it will be even better, so that the empire's dilemma of being attacked by the enemy and internal and external difficulties in a short period of time is bound to be reversed. If Sister Enlina knew about this, would she thank me, or would she go under the knife with me? No matter, hehe, at least Seryosha is dead, Agnes has at least one less difficult trouble, and the next step I just need to solve the other ** annoyance Augustine. Along the way, Ilan was preoccupied and pondered the possible consequences of Seryosha's death, but after all, he was young and could not understand people's hearts, so he could only make some simple guesses.
Harriran's race mount, Taremon, was very fast, and it took less than two days to reach the majestic imperial capital, the Star Picking City, known as the "Pearl of the East".
From a distance, the scale of the Star Picking City is huge, the city wall alone stretches for more than ten miles, and a moat with a width of dozens of meters - the Jinshui River, as if a mother cares for a baby, guards the Star Picking City in her arms.
The city walls and city gate towers built of huge stones are like a huge mouth that swallows the sky, and people stand under the city gates, how small they look. On the plaque of the city tower, which is more than ten zhang high, there are two big characters "picking stars", which are said to be written by the former Harillo Emperor Jose the Great.
In that year, Jose the Great led his army to conquer the entire continent and establish the famous Harilo Empire, thus dominating the Eastern Continent.
In the year 216 of the solar calendar, when the emperor came to the east to be free in the sky, after a big battle, he personally killed the indigenous star and moon king Balbudun on the continent of Harila, which coincided with the bright moon in the sky, and the stars were shining.
Ten years later, José the Great unified the entire continent of Harila and built a historic city on top of the ruins, which he named "Picking the Stars" in his memory.
It can be said that this star-picking city is a record of the great achievements of Jose the Great, and is the pride of all Harirans, although now that Jose the Great is gone, and the once famous Harilo Empire has become a ruin, it cannot let this history be dusted in any way.
Appreciating the handwriting of Emperor Jose, Ilan drove the white-tailed Taray straight into the Star City, through the long city gate doorway, a luxurious city comparable to the city of Il appeared in front of him, there are no alchemy towers dotted here, there are only towering palace-like buildings here, each street is extremely wide, can accommodate more than a dozen carriages side by side, the flat road is all built with boulders, neat and regular, the vehicles and crowds coming and going, many but not chaotic, each in its own way.
On the ground floor on both sides are all kinds of shops along the street, which are gorgeously decorated and dazzled.
The entire Star Picking City is said to be divided into nine regions, with the royal palace in the middle.
And the most famous triumphal avenue of the empire, right in front of the eyes of Yilan, this is the main street of the north and south of the imperial capital of the Star City, located in the middle of the star city, the street is very wide, the road surface is solid, you can parallel thirty-six monsters pulled by the tall chariot, it is the widest street in the imperial capital, it is said that the general who fought in the Quartet triumphantly, it was on this avenue to accept the cheers of the people and the king His Majesty received him, so he gave the name of triumph, which is also an important symbol of the imperial capital, In addition, because the ground is covered with gold-colored floor tiles, it is famous throughout the Oriental Freedom Heaven, and even spread the message that the ground and city walls of the imperial capital are paved with gold bricks.
Ilan looked at the golden avenue under his feet, majestic and sacred, and couldn't help but be shocked, thinking of the time when the generals of the empire rode through here in a chariot, he was also in awe.
This avenue also has another nickname called the Golden Mile. The reason why it got such a name is indeed because, when Emperor Jose the Great cast the city, all the walls and palaces had been built, only this street was left unpaved, and at this time, a special stone was found in the Citrine Mountain in the south of the city, that is, the citrine stone that resembles gold, this citrine has no other use, it is not a metal, it cannot cast weapons, it can only pave the road, so the Emperor ordered the army to use local materials to build this golden avenue. This is also a rare scenery of the Imperial Capital Star City, almost all people who come to Star City will come here for pilgrimage, thinking of the sassy and heroic posture of Emperor Jose in those years.
Of course, this triumphal avenue is not only that, at the end of the avenue, there is a huge square called Triumph Square. It is also paved with citrine, covering tens of thousands of hectares.
In the center of the square, a triumphal arch was built, made of stone masonry, resembling a gatehouse, with a high pedestal and a parapet, and the inside of the rock wall and arch carved with exquisite reliefs, describing the journey of José the Great in battle and the triumphal victory of his army.
The Arc de Triomphe is also the work of Jose the Great, built to commemorate his conquest of the entire continent of Harila, with a 25-metre-high gate and a bronze statue of Jose the Great on top.
The square was a place for religious, commercial, and political activities, and people would automatically gather here to celebrate every big festival, worship their king, and pray to Salim, the sun god.
Directly north of the square is a statue of Salim, the god of the sun, who is the most revered god of the Harirans and their father. Harilans often come from far and wide to kneel in front of this idol and ask the gods for blessings.
And in the direction of the north of this statue, about three miles away, is the palace of the Eastern Freedom Heaven, that is, the king of the country, and it was once the residence of Jose the Great.
Ilan walked along the Triumphal Avenue, looking at the ancient road full of historical vicissitudes, as well as the towering triumphal arch, and the great statue of the sun god, a sense of majesty and heaviness rushed towards Ilan, making his mind gradually broaden.
He stood in the square for a long time, looking at the triumphal arch on the prancing horse and whipping, conquering the east and west, and unifying the entire continent, and soon, his eyes turned to the magnificent, sacred, and majestic sun god Salim behind Jose the Great.
"Although I can't be like José the Great, leaping on horseback, unifying the continent, and establishing immortal deeds, I can definitely become a god like the sun god Salim, and I will be worshiped by hundreds of millions of people."
A small seed began to sprout in Elan's heart, and began to take root and grow stems along with Elan's growth, and will surely blossom and bear fruit in the future.
