Chapter 165: Cleopatra
Along the way, unlike Zhou Yu's snoring like thunder, Wei Ya has been vigilantly clenching her small fists, defending her left and right as if she was facing a great enemy. She still couldn't understand how Carney could sleep in such an environment.
Only the Metropolitan Governor himself knew that since the army of the undead had chosen to escort the two of them away, he would never kill him halfway. Why bother doing it twice? Isn't it good to click a knife just now? So, since he set foot in Dubancia, he has never been safer than he is now.
Sitting on the back of a scorpion is slightly different from riding on a horse, because the back of a scorpion is wide and cannot hang its feet, and the person can only sit cross-legged. The good thing is that the back of this thing is very spacious, like a big bed, and you can lie horizontally.
"HeβHas he always been like this?" The leader looked at the guy behind him who was asleep as soon as he came up, scratching his head and asking Wei Ya.
"No, he's great most of the time. Don't try to kill us, I told you he'd kill you when he woke up! Wei Ya said, waving her small fist at the leader.
The leader sighed and took off his helmet, and Wei Ya was surprised to find that the hair of the person in front of her was actually blonde.
"Y-You're Sora?" Wei Ya couldn't help but be suspicious and asked. Coming from the same continent suddenly shortened the distance between her and that person.
"It's not." The man shook his head and put his helmet back on.
"Then how can you be blonde?"
"Not much, the skin and skin, the parents who receive it, there is no reason. Sit down, don't move, and be careful that the scorpion behind you will trample you into a pulp. The leader said coldly.
Wei Ya stuck out her tongue and found a corner to sit down, as if her impression of him was not as bad as it was just now.
I don't know how long it took, but the army of the undead slowly stopped, and it turned out to be in front of a city gate.
"Ahh
"Arrived?" The rested Metropolitan Governor was comfortable and looked around curiously. The city in front of you is illuminated by countless torches, like a modern city lit up in the night sky.
"Well, here it is. Come in with me! "The leader doesn't talk much, but he doesn't have murderous intent.
The army did not enter the city, but rested in a kind of "barracks" outside the city. It is said to be a military camp, but it is actually a cave dug into a huge rock mass. They were trained to bolt their mounts, and it seemed as if each scorpion had its own fixed stake.
Then these sergeants will line up under the rock mass, hang down from the sky and line up dozens of ropes, the sergeants in the first row act at the same time, tie the ropes around their waists, pull hard, dozens of people rise into the air at the same time, the ropes stop outside the cave located at the top, and the sergeants enter the barracks. Depending on the situation, there should be a winch at the top of the rock mass and a person on duty who is responsible for lifting the rope.
Zhou Yu looked surprised, the caveman was really extraordinary, and the gathering of a large number of people was originally achieved in this way. There are many advantages of this way of living, one is to reduce the floor area and facilitate unified scheduling and management; Second, it is not easy to suffer a devastating attack, if you don't have rocket artillery or * and other weapons, it is difficult to "connect them"; The third is that the Metropolitan Governor guesses that this way of living is very conducive to keeping warm, especially in the underground space of a few hundred meters.
"Have you seen enough, let's go?" The leader pushed him impatiently. This kid, you really don't treat yourself as a guest.
Zhou Yu smiled, scratched his scalp, and strode in from the city gate.
It was the first dungeon he had ever seen, and although he didn't know the name or which clan controlled it, it did change his concept of the dungeon.
The dungeon imaginary of the Governor should have been a few burning fires, a large area of yurt scattered around the perimeter, and a group of wild men dressed in animal skins and painted faces sat around the fire, sometimes drinking blood, sometimes singing and dancing.
But everything in front of me is a little different. The houses with sturdy structures and exquisite shapes are lined up one after another, and the clean and spacious streets are bustling with people coming and going, and the feet are actually square bricks, and the feeling of flatness comes from under the feet, which is very comfortable. After leaving modern civilization for too long, Zhou Yu even forgot what it was like to step on a real road.
The Governor put his hand against the wall of a house facing the street, and the heavy feeling went straight to the door of his heart. It's not mud or stone, it's a house made of concrete. More questions scrambled into Zhou Yu's head, if the people of Dubancia had mastered and popularized this material and construction technology, would they still be subject to nature and endure the torture of the dull for a long time?
"Do you want to study it a little longer?" The leader spread his hands, apparently urging.
"Oh, no, no. Go, General Please! Zhou Yu also felt that he was a little out of shape, but he was also a prisoner, how could he come up with the posture of the inspection team, which was inappropriate and unreasonable.
After walking for about five or six minutes, the scene in front of him made him and Wei Ya even more dumbfounded: a huge cylinder with a diameter of one kilometer long stood in front of them, as if the Dinghai Divine Needle had been magnified countless times, and they didn't know where it would lead from bottom to top. The pillars are smooth and flat, windowless and doorless, glowing dimly white in the light of the raging fire.
It should be the same material used in the buildings you just passed. It's just that the tower is so tall and too big that you have to take a break even if you run around it for a lap.
"It's here, let's go inside." Leading the two to the bottom of the tower, the leader pointed to an arc-shaped hole and said.
"Just, right here?" Zhou Yu's eyes widened and he said. It stands to reason that the leader should escort the two to meet his boss, and as the lord of a city, he must have a decent palace, right? But the hole in front of me looks more like a temporary exit for evacuation, and it can't be compared with the inner courtyard of the palace.
"Right here, follow me. If you ask you, you answer, and if you talk nonsense, you will die! Remember? A cold twinkle in the leader's eyes flickered.
Zhou Yuquan shrugged his shoulders as a kind reminder to show that he heard clearly, but his mouth and tongue were not changed for a while.
After entering the passage, I walked about ten steps before entering an open space. Zhou Yu measured it with his stride just now, and the wall of this cylinder was seven or eight meters thick. If it's used for defense, not to mention that people really picked a good place. As long as the entrance is guarded, even if tens of thousands of people come to the attacker, they may not be able to take advantage.
Although it is a walled city, it is definitely not heavily guarded. Except for the four heavily armed sergeants at the entrance, the inside was very empty and secluded, and there was not a single ghost in sight for half a day.
All you see is the square bricks at your feet, a huge brazier every five meters on the wall, and two huge sculptures in front of you. It was two figures, one of them with kind eyebrows, his eyes slightly closed, holding a book in his hand, standing there quietly as if thinking; The other had a fleshy face, wide eyes and angry eyes, and held a chain in both hands, the ends of which were seven or eight huge heads.
What the hell is this, one article and one martial arts, one black and one white, it can't be another totem carving of some kind of cult organization. Zhou Yu thought of the Rain God Sect that had been plagued by Soracia for hundreds of years, and he didn't know how Xerxes had eradicated them. What role will the new princess play in this inquisition? These mysteries may only be known when he returns to Thorasia on the wheel again.
After walking forward for a while, he came to the huge figure, and Zhou Yu saw that there were more than a dozen stone steps here, and at the end of the stone steps was a huge stone seat, which could accommodate ten people in rows. On top of the seat, one person sits.
"My lord, I met two people on the way to suppress the bandits, both of whom were not locals, and one of them was a child. Something is wrong, and the subordinates don't dare to make decisions without permission, so they will be brought back for you to decide after interrogation. The leader took off his helmet and held it up to his chest, and bowed his knees respectfully in report.
Who is so big, it can't be the legendary Lord Parry, right? Zhou Yu secretly wondered in his heart, if he really met him, he would have to serve him well, it would be tantamount to holding a gold ingot, holding a talisman, and being a golden beetle son-in-law!
"Oh, that's it?" The people of the palace slowly stood up, their bodies covered in golden light, and they looked even more dazzling than Gilgamesh's clothes. Zhou Yu really wanted to ask more, where did you dig all this gold? Do you still have gold mine transfers? Make a fortune of non-ferrous metals, a million profits!
"Stranger, where are you?" The voice continued to ask. A little far away, Zhou Yu couldn't see his appearance clearly, but judging from the voice, this person was about fifty years old, and his voice was thick and long, with his own majesty, and he had a kingly demeanor.
"I, I don't know where I am, if I talk about the roots, I should be a person from the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth." Zhou Yu scratched his scalp and said that he was indeed not lying, it was right to say that he was a Tang person. At present, the foreign Chinese gathering area is also called Chinatown, and there is no Han Street or Qinren Street.
"Middle Earth Datang, Middle Earth Datang?" The voice muttered to itself, apparently not coming up with any results.
Just as the conversation fell silent, a crisp bell rang from the end of the stone steps. Zhou Yu couldn't help but squint his eyes, who dared to ring the bell on such a solemn occasion, did he want to serve himself food or what? If it's a steak or pizza, I'll swallow it myself; If it doesn't taste good, you must tell the adult in front of you, and bring the person who rings the bell to justice and beat him to death.
As soon as this messy thought began, Zhou Yu hurriedly strangled it at the end of the cranial nerve. What caught my eye, no, it should be a bewitching woman covered by gold leaves, gold chains, and gold beads, with half of her plump breasts and smooth waist exposed.
The Governor couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he had seen countless beauties, the artificially carved beauties in his previous life, and the pure natural and pollution-free beauties in this life, but he had never seen this woman with foxy attributes in front of him. This woman exudes a soul-stunning aura, and she can feel that demonic aura when she is twenty or thirty meters away, and she can't help but be swallowed by it and her reason and self-esteem.
This woman is poisonous. Zhou Yu hurriedly closed his eyes, and there were words in his mouth. At this time, you must silently recite the soul suppression for decades, prevent seduction, try and test, and self-defeat, and destroy the unparalleled aunt and mommy coaxing method in the world for decades, so as to prevent yourself from being hooked by this goblin.
Readers and friends must want to ask what is the mental method, and tell you not to spread it: gourd baby gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine, wind and rain...
"Mark, what is it that makes you ponder?" The woman sat next to the man, looking at him with affection, and even the voice of her voice made her bones soft.
"Oh, it's strange that Philip came across two strangers on his way to destroy the remnant of iniquity, and one of them was a child. Looking at the color of their hair, none of them were Dubancia. Aifei, do you say interesting or not? β
"Really!" The demon girl said, stood up, clicked step by step, slowly walked down the steps, and stood in front of the Metropolitan Governor in no time.
Zhou Yu looked at this beautiful woman carefully, it was indeed beautiful. The blue eyes seem to be flowing with clear blue water, the eye sockets are deep, the bridge of the nose is high, and under the skin that can be broken by blowing the cream, the fat place is fat, the thin place is thin, the big place is big, and the small place is small.
The most amazing thing is that this woman can actually wear makeup. Zhou Yu clearly saw her tattooed eyeliner, painted eye shadow, and spit lipstick.
"Giggles, Mark, really! This homeless man has black hair, and the girl is the same brown color as mine. β
It turns out that the old guy on the stage is called Mark, it can't be Marco Polo, right? Did he cross over here? If so, you have to think carefully about how to get in touch with him. Did you tell him that I had been to Chang'an?
"Aifei, Hugh has to get too close, be careful...
"Cut, if you want to hurt you and your concubine, do you need to find such an opportunity?" Zhou Yu interrupted him and looked down at his lame leg. If he wanted to sneak attack the man and woman, he really didn't have to wait for someone to come down, he only needed to spend more than forty minutes, how could he climb up and stab the two to death.
"Giggles, it's still a funny cripple." The woman chuckled, turned and took a few steps back to the throne, unable to see what her expression was.
"Philip, what do you think of these two people?"
"My lord, according to my humble opinion, although the two of them have unpredictable backgrounds and suspicious deeds, one is a cripple and the other is a child, and they do not pose a threat to us. It's better to let it go. β
Don't mind, don't put it! Zhou Yu shouted in his heart that it was not good, who will I eat and drink if I let us go? Where to find such a comfortable city to live in, let him take the child to eat and sleep outside, and continue to walk lame, only a fool will go?
"I'm against it!"
Four pairs of eyes stared at Zhou Yu in unison, including Wei Ya's pair.
"You're against it? Against what? The man on the stage asked in surprise.
"I'm against letting me go. I am a spy, who is your adversary? I'm the spy he sent! β
"Hahahaha!" The man looked up and laughed while pointing at Zhou Yu under the table, and the woman next to him echoed. The two leaned back and back, wiping away tears.
"Someone actually ran up to me and said he was a spy!"
"And we don't even know who our opponent is!"
Philip, who was standing next to Zhou Yu, frowned, is this kid crazy? Good life creates a chance for him to return to the basics, you don't want it. If you have to share the soup in this dark and chaotic world, do you really have the ability?
"Back to my lord, back to Queen Ptolemy, this person may be a madman. Why don't you let it go, so as not to waste food! Philip gave him a blank look and followed.
Wait, let me take a look. The man's name was Mark, and this Philip called the woman Queen Ptolemy. How is this combination and collocation somewhat familiar? Some are familiar with wood, and some can be detailed with wood?
Could it be Mark Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra)?
"May I ask the noble saint of the world on the stage, but is Cleopatra VII?" Zhou Yu made up his mind and decided to ask boldly. Yes, it's not a big deal to be beaten out with a stick, and a piece of meat is indispensable.
"Presumptuous! How can the name of the queen allow you and other outcasts to call it without permission? Before the king and queen on the stage could speak, Philip struck an elbow under the governor's ribs, instantly knocking him out of breath, and he fell to his knees, bent over and shook his head in pain.
Wei Ya hurriedly knelt beside her, helped Zhou Yu rub her waist, raised her head and glared angrily at Philip.
It's really her, Cleopatra.
