Lulunaka and Julius didn't stay on the edge of the pillar for long, they weren't there to see this. This pillar made a very deep impression on Julius's heart, but Lulunaka's words soon seemed to lose interest, and she was not even happy to look back when she left. After leaving the pillar, the two walked around the square, looking like a young brother and sister going out to play.

The two stopped at a stall selling weapons. The owner of the stall hung his weapons on his caravan, which lined up neatly with knives and axes, and several barrels with bows and spearheads. 、

"Brother, I think you're going to have a new weapon. Lulunaka said to Julius, "That tattered won't protect you." ”

Julius was taken aback, he had no intention of changing weapons, it was just that the unique restlessness of a teenager made him very interested in weapons. And when it comes to weapons, none of these weapons in front of him can compare to the silver crossed longsword from Pasta that Luluna gave him. Now the sword was wrapped in strips of cloth and sat on his back.

"Guest, if you need a handy weapon, then I have plenty of options to choose from, and I'm sure you're satisfied. "When the merchant saw that business had come to the door, he naturally did not stand stupidly, and had already come over to talk to Julius. No one thought that a petite and cute girl like Lulunaka could use weapons, but it was different when it came to a sturdy boy in front of her.

"I didn't ......," Julius was about to say no, but when he saw Lulunaka's smiling eyes, the latter words retracted. Lulunaka didn't seem to be joking, she really planned to let Julius pick a weapon to buy.

Finally, when he left the stall, Julius had a brand-new iron sword hanging from his waist. What made him feel embarrassed was that the money for the sword was given to him by Lulunaka, and the merchant had a very subtle expression on his face at that time, which was not surprising, probably because he was amused that an "elder brother" would be taken over by his "younger sister" and even the money bag.

Julius didn't find it funny, especially when it was true, or even far more bizarre than it, and he couldn't be happy at all that he had an extra weapon.

"I don't feel like I need an extra weapon. Julius said, "My longsword is not broken. ”

"That's a good thing, how can it be so easy to destroy, of course, not all good things are so strong and sharp. Lulunaka said, "But that's the case with swords, you're not. You're carrying Pasta's cross-sword and swaggering through the market, what do you think others would think if someone familiar with the goods found out that you were carrying such a rare weapon?"

Julius was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this. "Is this sword a rare thing here?"

The sign above is something that only the church has in the far west, on the other side of the mountains and the sea. Lulunaka laughed, "By the way, the shape of the cross sword is the symbol of the Church of Light. In this birthplace of the Church of the Holy Spirit, this is not something that brings a friendly eye. Besides, if you meet an acquaintance of Pasta and the acquaintance happens to see this cross-sword, do you think he will recognize it? What will others think about a young man with a 'dead man' thing, so is Pasta dead or not...... Troublesome things will follow, one after another. ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, Julius knew that Lulunaka actually had a lot of point. Regardless of who this cross-sword once belonged to, its conspicuous appearance can indeed attract a lot of attention. In a place like the Forest of the Dead, where he couldn't even see a human figure, he could naturally wield this sword at will, but in the King's Castle, it would be better for him to wrap this beloved sword in order to be cautious.

But all of a sudden, Julius was asked to change his weapon, and he felt a little unaccustomed. The heavy iron sword hanging from his waist is very different from the cross sword in terms of feel and weight. Not because the iron sword is too heavy, but because the iron sword is too light.

Lulunaka knew what he was thinking just by looking at the look on his face. "You're not picky right now, and people who are really strong don't care if they have a good weapon or a bad weapon in their hands. If you want to be a hero, you can't even do this, my brother who dreams of being a hero?"

Julius, of course, would not show weakness in such a place, and he glared at Lunaka, but did not say anything, just clenched the iron sword at his waist.

Lulunaka, who noticed Julius's small movements, just smiled and didn't say anything more, "Come with me, I'd like to see how much of those things are left of the old ones - although there are nine times out of ten that they are gone, but I have to try it." ”

Lulunaka walked ahead, Julius following behind her. "What are you looking for?" he asked.

"I'm looking for something that interests me or something that makes me nostalgic for a time when I was old. Lulunaka replied, "Now it seems, not to mention the things that can be missed, now this place is so dilapidated that it almost makes people sick, it is better to miss each other, a young and beautiful girl yesterday, a healthy and strong young man, who has not seen him for a few days, has become a sick and half-dead person." Old age and weakness of limbs...... Bleak old age. ”

To Julius, Lulunaka sounded like she was talking about someone, but he knew she wasn't talking about someone. "You're saying that the city is aging?" he couldn't understand Lulunaka's words, which seemed to him to be full of life and prosperity everywhere.

Lulunaka didn't reply right away, but continued on her way. The two walked for a while and came to a church. Churches are ubiquitous in King's Castle, as this city of gods is home to a group of devout believers and locals, for whom the church is as essential as air, food and water. The church they came to was not large, about the same as the chapel on the promontory, but it was not so dilapidated and well maintained. Lulunaka sat down on the front steps of the church and beckoned to Julius below. Julius hesitated and sat down next to Lulunaka.

The steps weren't high, but they were enough for the two of them to see most of the square, and there was nothing to obscure the view except for the tall pillars.

"Even those who live here may have long forgotten what the pillars were for, and perhaps scholars who have nothing to do will still explore it. "You know, it's not empty above the pillars, it's the most beautiful dome in the world. On a clear day, you won't even be able to tell if it's a dome or a white cloud. Beneath that dome is the square, the floor is solid marble, and the sunlight is kept out of the dome, making it a good place to escape the sun and rain. In the middle of the dome is empty, and when the sun sets, a circular spot of light forms on the floor, and under that spot is a glittering crystal ......"

Julius listened to Lulunaka talk about the square, but couldn't match what she was saying with what Lulunaka was saying. It sounded like Lulunaka's gibberish, and the square, the columns, and the church, were grand enough, could there ever have been any more splendid and magnificent appearances?

"You can't imagine that, can you?" laughed Lulunaka, "because you've never seen anything like it, and even a bard can only describe it in pitiful, prosaic, poor words." It's a pity that not much of that psalm remains, I don't think there's much left, and everything about the dome is probably lying in the writings of some poor scholar, and no one is interested. ”

When Lulunaka paused to stop talking, looking like she was immersed in a memory of the past, Julius asked, "How long ago was that?"

"Forget, the crescent moon wasn't called the crescent moon back then, and the god of light wasn't called the god of light, so who knows how long it has been......" Lulunaka held her chin in her hands and looked at the people walking around the square, "everything has changed." ”

"I thought you hated this city. "But you know it so well......"

"You're not mistaken, I do hate this city. Lulunaka looked at Julius with a smile on her face, but said something that didn't have a temperature, "This place is rotten, and there is no way to save it." ”
