Chapter 34: The Great Yorktown
Yorkshire, located in the southern part of the Kingdom of Orlanto, and four other dukedoms form a pentagram in the shape of the central royal city of Canstrac.
The city of York, the capital of the Duke of York Holbert, and named after the Duke's surname.
Surrounded by mountains, Yorktown is located in a large basin, and the natural barrier of the mountains makes Yorktown more safe.
Castle fortresses were built at critical junctures in all four mountain ranges, so that York City was never breached in the face of the southward invasion of the beast tide or the invasion of the alien alliance, which also made the Grand Duke of York have the treatment of a bench in front of the king.
However.
"We're here to go to college. ”
In the corner gate of the Kurt Tournament, a knight examines the pass that Cullen handed over.
The inspection was very simple, the knight picked up an iron cylinder inlaid with bright stones, and gently shone on the coat of arms and seals of the Duke in the lower right corner of the pass, and in an instant, the emblem was colorful.
This scene made the extraordinary crooked mouth, I'll go, such a high-tech technology as ultraviolet anti-counterfeiting has been mastered here, how can I still be reborn as a king!
Karen is also a knight of the earth, this is too perfunctory, and only an ordinary garrison knight is sent to receive it.
No one cares about a young knight who seems to be underage.
The pass was correct, and the knight called two more guards to check the number of people and the goods in the carriage.
From the opening of the gate of the fortress stuck on the Kingdom Road in the morning to the inspection of the soldiers, if it were not for the Wizard Raft Donal who stuffed a bag of dinars to the two soldiers who checked it, it is estimated that it would have lasted until noon.
The Knight Captain of Karen means to check that the laws of the kingdom are in accordance with the law, and the knights are not allowed to interfere.
This made Extraordinary feel that the knight was not killed when he followed the baron out to run errands.
This is in response to the sentence "Hades is easy to send, but the little ghost is difficult".
It turns out that it's the same here.
I thought we were different, but we would get hurt the same.
The captain of the knightly guard stood on the platform of the fortress's arrow tower and gave a knightly salute to see off the convoy.
Captain Cullen also immediately turned back, gave a knightly salute, and then led the convoy to Yorktown.
This is only an inconspicuous episode, but it also makes the extraordinary aware of the rigor and etiquette of the knighthood of the Grand Duke of York.
It's those two soldiers who make Extraordinary very tired, and I don't know if it's a stupid lack that a related household put in.
Entering the gate of the fortress, the convoy entered the safe zone, and there were horse-drawn carriages on the road, as well as civilians on foot, who were dozing off on their horses.
Wandering, the tall walls of Yorktown are already faintly visible.
It's a wall, it's really a wall.
But the wall is really long, so long that it connects directly to the mountains on both sides.
Until I walked for more than half a day, the sky was dark, and Extraordinary rode a horse to line up with the convoy, looking at both sides, and couldn't see the end.
As for the height, it is acceptable to appreciate the extraordinariness of 5,000 years of civilization.
Waiting anxiously, he turned around to respond to Miss Lucy's greeting, and a twinkle in the distance attracted extraordinary attention.
Hurriedly beckoned the troll warrior to inquire.
"Oh, that's an airship, Extraordinary Lady. A great invention of alchemists. ”
The Sissel sisters were also attracted to it, watching the flickering airship in the air slowly approach, and only when they got close did they hear the loud sound of "boom, boom".
Ruth watched Extraordinary stare into the air, and the lark-like chirping sounded in Extraordinary's ears.
"There are strange races on the continent that can fly. Dragons, winged people, and wind elves all have wings and can fly freely like birds. ”
"And we humans, human beings, only the wind magicians who have mastered the "levitation technique" can also hang in the air and fly for a short time. ”
"Later, there was a wind magister, who was also a high-ranking member of the Alchemy Guild, who found inspiration from the wind magic crystal 'Wind Spirit Stone' and made a magic device that could fly freely with the help of the Wind Spirit Stone. ”
"Hee-hee, in the end, I succeeded first, and then I failed!"
Go away, blue bubbles, I just hear the larks call.
"Yes, the reason for success is that you can really fly freely in the sky, and the failure is that you can only control the magic device by a wind mage, or a puppeteer. ”
"Besides, the wind magic crystal is really expensive, and the size of the button requires a lot of amethyst coins, which even ordinary nobles dare not try. ”
Listening to the explanations of the two women, and then looking at the huge egg-shaped airship in the sky, the two thick metal pipes behind the buttocks are puffing black gas.
Suddenly there was a rush from the Middle Ages back to the modern industrial revolution.
Is York City big? It's huge, with a permanent population of 450,000 just an official written record.
After entering the two gates, I have not yet entered the city of Yorktown, and behind the second gate are factories all over the place, towering chimneys, and various metal pipes are arranged in a tight and orderly manner like spider webs.
The drainage ditches on both sides of Kingdom Avenue are extraordinary, and the black and green sewage is extraordinary, but the smell has made the extraordinary smell reach a new height and realm.
The convoy of the 100 people was in the town, and the retinue of the knights had to camp outside the town, but until they reached the main city, they finally entered York City, and none of the sheriffs or knights of the extraordinary party bothered.
There were quite a few eleven-year-old young tour guides who were fairly clean, but after feeling the murderous aura of the Knights, no other children dared to come and disturb them.
What's the matter, Cullen must have been here, Ruth and Blue Bubble are probably here, and the mercenaries are still useful? Dosta, Dosta doesn't pass through York City, how did he come to Barony Sisel?
Extraordinary looked left and right, and it seemed that only himself and the demon pet Blue Bubble had not been to York City.
Sure enough, after Raft Donal, the water devil led the way, led everyone to Central Queens, Yorktown, said goodbye to everyone, and at the same time met Extraordinary to drink together, and led his friends to the mercenary union to hand in the task.
Gu Lie glanced at the young and handsome face, didn't say anything, and followed Donar and the others.
Everyone has their own legend, doesn't they?
York City is extraordinary, and you probably see brick and stone houses, delicate and thick.
The house that the Baron found for his daughter was obviously of a higher grade.
Central Queens, just by listening to the name, you know that this is the best prime location in the area, as for the two-story small western-style building with a single courtyard, extraordinary smacking lips, will you live here in the future?
As soon as he threw his tired body into a bedroom on the first floor, he was pulled out by the Blue Bubble Demon to wash, and then, you know, as a mobile warehouse, how can you not be conscious.
Wash up and take out the valuables from the golden space and give them to Karen, and after completing the checking, he even signed the name on a document.
This is the right to sign at last, well, to be able to sign is the first power after adulthood, to be able to accept glory or punishment on your behalf.
There are three rooms on the first floor, one extraordinary and two rooms for a small group of knights.
The Knight Commander Karen gave all the knights a three-day vacation, after which he would lead the Knights back to their realm.
If a knight needs a cross-border mission, one needs to be authorized, and the other is a time limit, and if you violate it, you will be stripped of your knight title and wanted by the kingdom.
The small team of 4 resident knights left behind had a long-term mandate, one was to protect the safety of the second daughter, and the other was to maintain the glory of Sissel.
The half-hung Guardian Knight is extraordinary, and no one would consider him a qualified knight, let alone a guardian knight.
When he came, Baron Sissel had already talked to Extraordinary about his future life.
When he arrived in Yorktown, he was free, and he had a status that could be redeemed in the name of a guardian knight, and he could get a salary of 20 silver coins a month from the baron, so that he would not starve to death.
The first thing to consider now is to find your parents and then think about going back after you have determined that your parents are safe.
From the extraordinary favorite book of Travels to the Earth, I vaguely have some ideas about the way back to my hometown, and there is no other way to realize my ideas, either to be rich or to advance faster and higher.
Wealth should be accumulated slowly. I believe that old Henry has already arrived in Yorktown and found time to visit, after all, acquaintances are not easy to do.
As for advanced professional skills, Extraordinary stared blankly at the golden contract, 10 insurances with a guarantee of 100 gold coins were almost impossible to complete in Sissel Ling, and the insurance of 1 gold almost made Extraordinary fall into the abyss on the road.
"Hey, it seems that there is a long way to go, but fortunately, York City is a big city like the main city, and there are few others, and there should be many rich and stupid fools. ”
As he spoke, he thought in his heart, and the envelope of an association's official letter appeared in Extraordinary's hand.
The seal on the back of the envelope has the private coat of arms of the priest Radona, not like the family coat of arms, a dancing snake.
Tomorrow I went to the Underwriters Association to take a look, and the priest said that he could report directly with his badge, and the letter in his hand was to be handed over to the branch president of Dain Hilhugh, a friend of the priesthood.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the priest to have a branch president friend, that is, he came to York City and had a backer, is the arrogant and domineering life really going to be realized?"
The various factories in the outer city, the roar that resounded in the sky, I don't know if the soundproofing of this building is good, Central Queens has a soundproof magic barrier, and I can't hear a little noise.
As the extraordinary was confused into a dream, the sewage in the diversion ditches on both sides of the road seemed to feel very intimate in the dream.
Two streets away from the extraordinary, several guards suddenly appeared, seeing that the people chasing in front of them were about to disappear into darkness, they couldn't help but pick up the whistle on their chests.
"Beep"
As the warning whistle sounded, the surrounding convoys gathered to outflank them.
The man who ran ahead was gone.
When the escort ran past, the whistle faded away, and a bird's beak slowly appeared in the shadows at the entrance of the alley next to it, followed by a black one-piece dress, and the cane in his hand was lightly touched on the ground, and the whole person appeared from the darkness.
"It's always coming, isn't it?"
The man in black turned around and appeared on the street, bowed to the departing guards, and then paced away.
