Chapter 39: The King's Castle

Julius was awakened in a drowsy state. No one woke him up, he was woken up by the noise around him. When he woke up, the sun burned his cheeks, but not so much that it burned his skin. He became drowsy after eating at noon, because of the fatigue after filling his stomach and the fatigue caused by the warm sun, which made his eyes open and close dozens of times, and finally did not resist the nebutan, and directly lay down and fell asleep. Because Lulunaka hasn't been messing with anything in her alchemy cauldron these days, the skylight on the roof of the shed is closed, which makes Julius not have to worry about accidentally falling and being boiled, and he sleeps peacefully, and no one comes to disturb him, and Ward next to him is also a lazy sleeper, and he won't go to his master to complain at all.

When Julius looked up, the sun was not as fierce as it was at noon, but it still made his eyes squint in a line. After adjusting to the sunlight, his eyes slowly opened, and he could finally see what was in front of him.

He raised his head, looked ahead, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to realize that he might still be in a dream, not waking up. But no matter how long he rubbed his eyes, even if he pulled his face hard, he didn't wake up from the dream. Since this is not a dream, then everything in front of you should be real.

The walls that took up half of the sky were joined together, obscuring most of Julius's vision. This is a scene that Julius has never seen before, with no end in sight to the gray-black walls from east to west. The Whimsy was still a long way from the walls, but Julius needed to look up at something he had never seen before. It was so long and tall that it looked like a giant lying on its side on the ground, and the giant's body had been elongated into a misshapen beingβ€”but if it was a wall of walls, it would have been grandiose. Perhaps even such praise as grandeur cannot be worthy of such a presence.

It resembles a giant lying on its side, and it resembles a dragon entrenched on the earth.

In Julius' sight, there were not only the city walls, but also those who were heading in the direction of the walls. People on foot, people on horseback, people in wagons, all rushed in that direction. People are like countless small droplets, converging into the "pool" in front of them. Julius was woken up by the noise brought by so many people. The shouts of people, the neighing of horses, the sound of wheels, and even the cries of babies, whispered prayers...... Voices far away, voices close to each other, were coming to Julius's side.

Julius climbed off the roof of the carriage shed, walked down the road, and trotted to the driver's seat. The Whimsy was moving slowly, and even if he landed and followed, he wouldn't be left behind. Pasta was swinging his whip to drive the two horses in front of him, while Lulunaka sat next to him, her head bowed, a knife in her hand, cutting a small piece of wood that could be held in one hand, and the wood had been cut to a rough outline, looking like a human shape. She was so focused that she didn't seem to notice Julius beside her.

"Where are we now?" asked Julius, following the two of them. Lulunaka finally noticed that there was one more person next to her, and she looked up, and the knife in her hand stopped. "I thought you'd sleep until dinner time before waking up, what disturbed your dreams?"

Although Lulunaka taunted herself for being like a pig and only eating, sleeping and eating, Julius didn't feel angry at all, and he was now more concerned about things. "Where are we now?" he repeated, as if he wouldn't stop until he got an answer.

Lulunaka didn't look at Julius anymore, and continued to keep her head down and tinker with the gadget in her hand, the wood had already been cut into a rough shape by her, and she just had to polish it carefully. "Where else could it be, you stupid melon. We are now outside the walls of the King's Castle. ”

Julius blinked, and although he heard Lulunaka's words, he still couldn't believe that he had actually come to the legendary city that he had only heard of in the mouths of others, the castle of kings. How famous is the castle of Kings, in mythological tales it was built by gods, in heroic tales it was the lord and conqueror of the city, and in tales of wonder it is the backdrop of the story.

The name was so famous that even if Julius lived in a different country - in fact he was a child of the Crescent Empire - even if Julius was just a child of a village, he had heard of the name of the King's Castle.

And now Julius had finally come to the face of the legend, and he had only seen a stretch of wall with no end in sight, how big was this place? was it dozens of times the size of the village he had lived in, or hundreds, or thousands of times? He had lost his idea of it, and even the height of a section of the wall in front of him was enough to put a village on it.

Julius tilted his head and looked at the city wall in front of him, which seemed to be about to rise into the sky, and his eyes were a little dizzy after looking at it for a long time. "This is the ...... King's Castle," he muttered to himself.

The Wonder followed the crowd and procession ahead of it and had already reached the front of the city gate. In front of the Wonders, there was a long queue waiting to enter the city.

As Julius was in a daze as he followed the Whimsy, Lulunaka said to Pasta, "Which gate are we at now?"

"Porta Saint-Roman. Pasta replied.

Lulunaka frowned, "Saint-Roman Gate, haven't I heard of it, it's a newly built gate?"

"This is a gate that existed a long time ago, and I thought you knew a lot about King's Castle. Pasta said.

Lulunaka tapped her finger on her forehead, "Let me think...... No, no impression. What kind of military gate is there next to it?"

Pasta pondered for a moment before answering Lulunaka's question, "If I'm not mistaken, it's the Fourth Military Gate." ”

"Next to the Fourth Military Gate, it should be the Gate of St. Romanus and the Gate of Lizim. ”

"If you say that the Porta Saint-Romanus and the Porta Saint-Romanus are the same thing, then you should be right. ”

Lulunaka frowned, a pensive look, "Did I remember wrong...... When did the name of this gate change, I don't remember it well, and I am about to forget the past. ”

Pasta doesn't think it's a problem with bad memory. But the difference between Saint-Romain and Saint-Romanus, he kept in his heart. In the past few hundred years, this gate has been called St. Romanus, and has never heard of St. Romanus, did she deliberately say it wrong, or did it really exist? If the name St. Romanus ever existed, then when did it happen?

Pasta didn't know if he was thinking nonsense, but it did make him a little unable to concentrate.

"What are you thinking?" Lulunaka seemed to see through Pasta's thoughts, and the smile on her face made Pasta a little uncomfortable, "Are you wondering what the hell is going on with San Romanus and San Romanus?"

"A little curious. Pasta responded honestly.

"Then you'll have to prepare hundreds of theological books to explain this troublesome thing, and by the way, the secret history of the royal family. Lulunaka counted with her hands, then spread her hands and continued, "I hate this kind of boring thing, so forget it, maybe you can find a knowledgeable old monk to find out?"

"Forget it. "Pasta doesn't want to ask for trouble, and if he wants to return to this castle again, he may have enough trouble.

"It's a good thing for you and me. Lulunaka said, then turned to look at Julius in a daze, "Don't be dumbfounded, get in the car." ”

Julius came to his senses and quickly climbed into the driver's seat.

Lulunaka lowered her head and continued to tinker with the humanoid wood in her hand, "Let's go, go to the city." ”
