Chapter 80: What is Greatness?
The next day, fine.
The environment in the imperial capital's own chamber of commerce is naturally much better than some village and town taverns in the pass, and Lin Ke woke up refreshed.
Neil had already gotten up, and he had already completed a survey of the entire Chamber of Commerce compound and some nearby buildings to ensure that he could react correctly as soon as he encountered a sudden situation, although he was amused by his inexplicable sense of crisis, but he didn't say much, theoretically speaking, this is a good habit.
In fact, Lilith and Cher had already woken up early.
The former has adapted to the environment and then began to exercise his body every day, which is the most basic way to maintain his condition as a fighter, but there are not many who can do it like her, no matter where she is, no matter what the situation.
The latter simply finished his morning workout and went to Harris to learn about the current situation of the Chamber of Commerce, although Cher is now a full-time maid and partner of Linke, Serena still will not let go of squeezing some of her other surplus value.
"Cohen, you're up so early after a long journey?" Hubert said with a grin, "Go to the front yard and get some food, and then I'll take you around the Imperial Capital today." โ
"Great, cousin, don't you have to go to the academy today, if there are other things we can just do by ourselves," Lin Ke said gratefully.
"It's okay, there's nothing else to do today, the academy is now in the summer vacation, we don't have to go to the academy every day to order," Hubert waved his hand indifferently, "The imperial capital is so big, if you don't have a guide, you will definitely get lost, today I will take you to the outside of the God of War Academy to see, and then go to the outside of the Imperial Palace to have a look, it's very beautiful." โ
"Great, cousin, wait a minute, a few of us will eat quickly. โ
"Eat slowly, don't rush. โ

They were not riding in chariots, nor horses.
Rather, it is a bizarre means of transportation.
It was a large, scorpion-like beast, but instead of its large, aggressive, curved tail spines, it had a short, bald tail, a pair of flamboyant, intimidating pincers, and two short forelimbs and tentacles.
To put it simply, it is a scorpion that has lost its tail spines and pincers.
But what all the girls are very resistant to is that this strange scorpion is six or seven meters long and four or five meters wide, and the height is at least one meter five, plus the long legs of many typical arthropod insects, it does look a little disgusting.
Though they were only allowed to enter the delicately decorated room that sat on the wide back of the strange beast.
"Cher and Lilith, first of all, I must admit that this is the cheapest kind of 'carriage' that can be rented in the imperial capital, and the other ones that are better are really expensive, so you can bear with them, although it looks a little strange, but it is still very smooth and comfortable to walk on, try it," Hubert said.
It took a long time for Cher and Lilith to finally hold their noses and board the strange carriage, and both Linko and Hubert breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the "bug car" was as Hubert said, unusually smooth, even more stable than a carriage walking on flat ground, and the interior of the carriage was quite delicately decorated, and each sat on soft cushions, and if you forgot the strange guy under you at the moment, you would almost think that you were in a speeding train box.
"These coachmen who drive the beast are very experienced, and they are far more familiar with the imperial capital than us, they know where to go and what the nearest route is, making people's life in the imperial capital simple, comfortable and efficient," Hubert is a good guide, with a calm voice and clear logic, explaining the customs of the imperial capital to the four of Lin Ke along the way, as if he grew up here, and has solved a lot of puzzles for everyone.
"Our first stop today is the God of War Academy, the God of War Academy is actually located in Shanxi, and you can only receive enough light in the afternoon every day, where you can see the most beautiful sunset in the imperial capital, and you will be able to know when you are admitted, now, I can only take you to see at the gate." โ
Lin Ke and the others nodded frequently.
It didn't take long for the bug cart to stop, and several people got out of the car, and then everyone except Hubert himself couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
What a spectacular college gate!
In front of the gate is a huge boulder-paved square, surrounded by dozens of pure white stone pillars with a diameter of about ten meters and a height of more than 100 meters to form a circle, and there are forty or fifty meters between each pillar! In the center of the square stands a tall stone platform, on which a handsome man on a horse is swinging his sword and pointing forward, as if he is in a huge battle, and he roars with a general attack!
"The statue is His Majesty Julius Caesar, the founding emperor of our God of War Empire," Hubert bowed respectfully to the statue and explained to Lin Ke and the others, "His Majesty Julius is not only the founder of the God of War Empire, but also the founder of the God of War Academy, and it is his persistence and support that has led to the God of War Academy that has been protecting the people of the God of War Empire for thousands of years. โ
Lin Ke looked up at the statue that had been standing there for countless years, and his heart was surging, as long as this empire did not die one day, this great existence would be glorious one day, even if one day this empire perished, that name could still shake the past and the present, and belonged to him alone, this is greatness.
The gates of the God of War Academy.
Three boys and two girls.
Historic first standing there.
"Someday I'm going to erect a statue for myself too, in those places that mortals can't reach," Linko muttered to himself, and the only thing he could do at this moment was faintly perceived by the big man who had always followed him.
"Let's go, Brother Hall, let's go take a look outside the palace," Lin Ke turned his head and walked away, followed by three determined figures behind him, without stopping.
"Hey, Cohen, aren't you looking at it anymore?" asked Hubert, surprised.
"No need, I'll see you every day in the future," Lin Ketou said without replying.
Hubert was left speechless.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The royal palace of the God of War Empire is located at the highest point of the mountain.
In fact, at night, every citizen of the imperial capital who is willing to look up can see the brilliant light, as bright as hanging high in the air.
Lin Ke and a few people had seen it last night.
But it wasn't until I came to the main street outside the palace that I had a more direct experience of the palace.
A huge fortress!
This was Lin Ke's first impression, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, probably the emperors of the empire were a little insecure.
In fact, he was a bit insecure himself, and he liked the huge fortress very much, of course, he didn't say this to anyone, except Neil, who silently looked at him behind his back.
The towering city wall is made of boulders with a faint golden yellow, I don't know whether the stone is like this or the traces left by the years, from a distance, it seems to be plated with a layer of gold on the wall, and the top of the solemn but beautiful corner tower and the spire of the arrow tower are painted a faint blue, in addition to the light elegance, there is more of a fairytale beauty, very beautiful.
"Do you see the tallest building in the distance?" Hubert pointed out from the window of the bug cart, "and that is the resting place of our great Emperor His Majesty, the highest point in the entire imperial capital!"
Lin Ke glanced up, he didn't feel anything special, he just thought that the wind must be very strong there, and the windows couldn't be opened, right?
Hubert was still muttering, and Linko, who was sitting next to him, could just hear what he was saying, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"It's a pity that I can't see His Majesty the Emperor, I always draw the curtains, and these main streets close to the palace don't let us stop the car, otherwise if you really want to stay here for a few days, you can still see it......" someone muttered.
"How does it feel, is it pretty?" asked Lin Ke, turning his head to Xue'er and the others.
Xue'er nodded sweetly, "Beautiful, it would be better when I could go in and have a look." โ
Lilith nodded coldly and coped with the matter, obviously not in high spirits.
"It's too light, it's not wild enough," Neil said dryly, shaking his head.
Lin Ke et al. "......"
"Hey, why did you stop?" Hubert climbed out of the window and asked the driver in front of him, "Isn't the street here that doesn't stop moving?"
The coachman turned around and lowered his voice and said, "A few guests are silent, it is the gate of the palace that is open, at this point in time, I am afraid that a certain royal family is traveling, right?!"
"Royal travel?!" Hubert suddenly became interested, and simply walked out of the car door and sat down next to the coachman, his eyes widening.
Lin Ke and the others looked at each other, and in the end, only Lin Ke walked out of the carriage, and the others didn't mean to come out at all.
Lin Ke first carefully stepped on the back of the "big scorpion", probably itching people, "big scorpion" He shook his body slightly, and then carefully stepped on its back and came to Hubert's side, but he was speechless to find that there was no seat for him at all, so he had to stand beside them depressedly and look up at the main entrance of the palace that was slowly opening, only to see the head of a monster the size of a room poke out of the gate first, and then its body like a hill gradually appeared in people's sight, and after the highest point of the back appeared, people found that there was a small golden room, and at the door of the house stood two maids, and a small staircase like gold thread extended from the door of the cottage to the bottom of the side of the monster's bellyใ
Earthwalker!
Lin Ke looked at the behemoth that was definitely more than thirty-five meters long, covered with scales and hideous barbs, and his heart was shocked.
The weakest adult individual strength is more than that of one of the terrestrial sub-dragons in the Giant Power Realm, the Warcraft, the Earth Walking Dragon with enough wisdom, but at this moment it has restrained all its pride and violence, and willingly acts as a mount of a human race.
They should be proud, free.
Lin Ke couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart, and he looked at the behemoth in his eyes for a while.
At the same time, in the hut at the back end of the dragon's back, a glamorous peerless beauty lazily lifted her swan-like neck, her slender jade hand lightly supported her delicate chin, and the breeze rolled the gauze curtain, raising her gaze to glance out boringly.
It's this glimpse.
She saw a faint sadness in the eager, respectful, fearful, or reverent gaze around her, and he stood there so quietly.
The end of sight is not yourself.
