Chapter 54: Julius and Romeo
Julius and Romeona didn't have a clear idea of where they wanted to go, they just walked around the city of Busa and saw everything they could see in this place. The difference between Busa and the King's Castle is so great that the two of them have been gone for so long, and they don't feel the slightest bit tired. For Julius, even more so, for a child like him who came from the countryside, no matter what the city, felt fresh.
The two of them walked like this, looking at the various states in the city, or amazed or surprised, and the novelties that could be seen on the road could make the two of them stop and watch. The strange costumes, the strange races, and the smoke that seemed to be everywhereโthe open-air stalls of the shisha shops surprised foreigners like them, and there were so many such places for people to rest, and the smoke from the mouths of the smoke-swallowing customers could form a small cloud of smoke. These shisha parlors also offer a simple and unpretentious diet, and as a result, Julius and Romeona both settled their lunch in such a place...... However, neither of them had any intention of trying the hookah. Julius was a little interested, but seeing the way Romeo frowned just by inhaling the smoke, he gave up on such a plan.
Although the smoky environment was a little uncomfortable, it made the environment a little mysterious, especially in such an environment, where only the silhouettes of other guests could be faintly seen, and even if there was no other cover, it made such a place divided into several invisible intervals. Although they couldn't see the other people's appearances, they could hear the voices clearly, and in the smoke, the whispering sound fell into the ears of the two of them. It's not that the guests' voices are too loud, but because Julius and Romeona have better hearing than ordinary people.
Although it may seem like hearing someone else's secret, it is actually just some inconsequential small talk. The two were silent, stayed in the hookah shop for a while, and after eating and drinking, they left.
"Heard something interesting. Romeona said to Julius, "The riots in the castle of Kings...... Probably true. โ
"Is that true?" Julius couldn't believe it, but Romeona said so, "There's a riot like that......
"Don't think of King's Castle too well. It is precisely because that place is too big and there are too many people that this kind of thing is inevitable. If everybody were as docile as a lamb, that kind of place would probably not be a city......" Romeona said this, as if remembering something, and gave a wry smile with a mocking meaning, "but in the case of the King's Castle, riots are too frequent, and there are so many that they are uncomfortable. โ
Julius couldn't imagine what it would be like for the inhabitants of the castle to revolt, even in a place as chaotic as the rat road, there was a certain order that not everyone could do as much as they wanted. And on the more stable surface, the residents who have nothing to do with the rat road people will do such a thing...... "Since the riot really happened, then another thing, is it ......?"
Julius didn't continue, but Romeona understood what he was talking about. In a place where people always talk to each other, it is naturally impossible to discuss only such a thing as the King's Castle. "Assassin, right? โ
Julius's face became nervous, and he began to look around, "It's not good to say this......" His voice was lowered, and he looked sneaky. At this, Luo Miona chuckled, "You look like you, maybe you will really be considered a suspicious guy." โ
When Romeona said this, Julius became even more nervous. "You don't have to worry too much, there will be rumors of assassins in any country's capital...... Whether it's true or not, it will always exist under the sun, in the shadows. โ
Romeona glanced at the scenery around her, people passing by, carriages and horses moving in an orderly manner along the road. The winter sun is not violent, so the eyes can see more and are more comfortable, "In the center of power, there will always be such things, and if there is none, it will be incredible." โ
"Is that so?" Julius couldn't understand Romeona's last words, at this time, she felt a bit like Lulunaka who was deliberately pretending to be mysterious, but she didn't have the banter flavor of Lulunaka.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand this kind of thing. Romeona smiled at Julius, "It's just the game of those who are high up above...... I'm just forced to know about this kind of thing. โ
When Romeo said this, Julius stopped thinking about it. For him, it's good to put aside the things he doesn't understand, and if he does too much trouble, it's just to find guilt for himself.
The two walked side by side, chatting with each other about the city, and as they walked, the number of people on the road gradually decreased. When Julius looked up and looked straight ahead, he found himself in a relatively empty place, and in front of him, there were tall walls and magnificent buildings. The buildings were something he had never seen before, with domes and minarets, very different from the square buildings of the King's Castle, and if there was anything similar, it was probably that there were such things as minarets in the buildings. However, the shape of the minaret is also different, probably the difference between the square and the yuanru.
Julius looked up at the buildings in the distance, just by standing here, he could feel that it was not a place for ordinary people to enter, "there is ......"
"In this city, there is probably only one place that can be so conspicuous and grandiose, except for the temple of the moon god. Romeona was also looking at the buildings in the distance, her eyes shining, "That's where the Emperor of the Crescent Moon lives......
"Is that the palace?" reminded Julius of what it was, "that's where the Assassins want to go?"
"Do you think any Assassin could get in there?" asked Romeona.
Julius took a closer look at the palace and shook his head, "The walls are solid...... That's a lot of difficulty alone. Moreover, I can feel that there are a lot of people in there, probably guarding everything outside. โ
Julius wasn't talking big, he could feel the breath of a lot of people, just behind the walls.
"That's probably a warning. "Let's stop those of us who look like assassins." โ
