The origin of the emerald light is still an unsolved mystery, but it is only known that it is a special beam of light emitted from the depths of the earth, ignoring the obscurations of the stratum and obstacles, and penetrating everything into the sky. This emerald green light has no effect, and its symbolism is greater than its practical significance, but it is a very important natural phenomenon in the Emerald Empire, as it symbolizes the authority of the lion.

Legend has it that the intrepid Knight Lionheart led a group of pioneers to the north during the glorious Age of Pioneers, determined to be the first to extend human power to the barren lands of the north, where they would establish human cities in the wilderness.

Fighting ferocious monsters for food and dangerous wilderness for living space, they fight their way and never look back, even if they suffer heavy casualties. After 210 days and nearly 1,000 kilometers of trekking, he finally went deep into the wilderness where no one had set foot. However, at this time, the development team of only more than 300 people had exhausted all the provisions, and it was impossible to light the fire due to the heavy rain for several days, and more than 300 people could only shiver in the cold night, not only to endure the torture of hunger, but also to fight against the dangerous darkness, and always be vigilant against the snooping of hungry monsters in the darkness to prevent them from dragging people away one by one.

At the most desperate moment, the emerald light came on, and the emerald green pillar of light soared into the sky, bringing light and hope to the development team, and with the help of the pillar of light, they found large areas of ripe fruit trees around the pillar of light, which were able to survive the most difficult nights, and found patches of wild wheat nearby, which were finally replenished with food after harvesting.

The Knight of the Lionheart believes that it is a gift from the gods, and it is the will of the gods, who remind him in this way that this is his destination. So, the Lion City was established, and in honor of the pillar of light that saved the pioneers, the Lionheart Knight named it the Emerald Light, and named the new territory the Emerald Territory, and he finally extended the power of the human race to the northern wilderness, and he succeeded.

Unfortunately, he also failed.

Because this is not untouched land.

In the seventh month of the establishment of the Lion City, when more than a dozen explorers of the Lion City explored the surrounding dense forest, they found a colony of intelligent creatures in a woodland, and there were no intelligent creatures in it, only a dozen beds made of a large number of leaves, and a message written on the leaves.

The message was only a few lines, but it almost the Lionheart Rider.

"We've been here, we're gone, and the trailblazers, whoever you are, do you feel like you've finally gone somewhere no one has been? Don't you feel proud that you're amazing? Angry, cry, ha, we've been here a long time ago, hahahaha. In addition, the fruit trees outside are planted by us with children, and you are not allowed to eat them, because the trees are carved on them, and those who steal the fruits are idiots. ”

This tone, this attitude, and the bad taste of planting trees with children, damn forest spirits, it must be you!

The hopes of embarking on the first footsteps were dashed and the most vicious taunts were met, but that was not all. People are sad to find that this place is more lively than they imagined.

Soon after, on an unnamed mountain peak near the dense forest, tentatively known as the Forest of Despair, the explorers discovered a cave that also contained traces of the lives of intelligent creatures, and unexpectedly, the stone walls were also engraved with the messages left by these creatures.

"The idiots down there are so annoying, they call us down every day to play with them, to have fun, do you really have such a luxury organ as a brain? Do you want our wings to hang on a tree? Forget it about jumping around in our experimental fields every day, we don't care about the creatures that Master Anika taught, you still stuff things in your mouth, wheat eats seeds, not leaves, do you really think you're a deer? No, I can't stand it, we're going to move, pray that these stupid deer don't chase after you. What? Who am I writing this for? Of course it's for you idiots, idiots, idiots, idiots, idiots, I hate you!!"

It's good, it's really lively, who else is down there?

This is the only thought in the Lionheart Rider's heart after reading the message copied back with a blank face.

However, he was not qualified to be dissatisfied, the fruit trees were planted by forest spirits, and the wheat field that he thought was wild wheat was actually the experimental field of the winged people, and the pioneers were able to survive because of the marks left by these two hateful creatures I don't know how many years ago, so what right did he have to be dissatisfied? Not only could he not be dissatisfied, but he also had to regard these two creatures as benefactors, and demand that all the exculpated people treat them with respect.

Many years later, the Winged People and the Lionheart family negotiated, hoping to move the Bright Capital to the vicinity of the Imperial territory, and even occupy a small piece of Imperial territory, thinking that it would be a very difficult negotiation, but I didn't expect it to be unusually smooth, and the Empire agreed very happily, and now it seems that the unexpected smoothness is also related to the anecdotes of thousands of years ago.

"Maybe that group of winged people at that time was still the ancestor of your Celes family, if that's the case, you can still collect wheat money from Emperor Lionheart, wheat is not valuable, but the interest for thousands of years is calculated......"

"You can always come up with a way to extort money, Shure, no wonder you are rumored to be called a vampire in the vault in your city, and your manners and virtues as a priest?"

"I'm sorry, I was cheated for five hundred gold coins, and in order to eat, I had to sell my virtues, well, yes, I sold them with my face. ”

It was now the early morning of the next day, and the floatship took advantage of the night to pass through the wilderness outside the city without any danger and arrived at the territory of the Emerald Empire.

The division of the borders of the Pavatiga human states is very distinctive, the territory of the country is not contiguous pieces, but is based on a system of cities, as long as the lord of the city belongs to a certain country, then the scope of this city system is the territory of the country. The metropolitan areas may not be connected to each other, sometimes a country for various reasons, resulting in the inability to occupy the empty space between the two territories for a long time, can only allow its territory to be divided into two parts, large troops can pass through safely, but even if it is only a dozen kilometers deep, ordinary people want to cross, they must be prepared to die.

It's like the hundreds of kilometers of deep wilderness that you have just traversed, the empty space between the two disconnected territories of the Emerald Empire, and even the floating boats flying through the air have to take advantage of the night to carefully pass through.

Yes, while it's night.

Walking through the wilderness from the ground, of course, in the light of day, although the monsters can see you, you can also see the monsters, so as not to be caught off guard by a sudden attack. And you can clearly observe the road conditions during the day, and sometimes the danger brought by the environment is greater than that of Warcraft.

But flying in the air is different, especially on fixed routes, the only road conditions that will bring trouble are the peaks, the problem is that even at night, as long as the eyes are not blind, it is impossible to see such a large peak, so there is no need to worry about the road conditions at night. As for Warcraft, most of the flying Warcraft in the world of Pavatiga are night blind, and there are only a few small birds of prey that can hunt at night, so it is much safer to sail at night than during the day.

The night was uneventful, although the two 'stupid boys' in Shuer's mouth really felt new to the floatboat, and ran wildly in the corridor of the cabin for several hours, until they were beaten by Shul alone before they quieted down, even though Pastor Talina prayed to the Dark Moon all night with a pale face because of her fear of heights, praying that the floatboat would not fall, but anyway, this unprecedented air travel experience still made everyone very satisfied, well, at least very satisfied with the sleeping environment, because the floatboat is much more stable than the carriage.

Early this morning, everyone got up early to eat the sumptuous breakfast provided by the Winged Terrans, and while standing on the deck leisurely waiting for the airship to arrive at its destination, they admired the knowledge that Shuer used to see in the classics, and frantically satirized the ancestors of the Winged Terrans and the Jade Empire, and by the way, even Lin Jing was also struck.

It must be admitted that Yulia is not exaggerating at all, if the float boat can be popularized, it can really change the way the Pavatiga people travel, and it is impossible to imagine that they can easily sleep through the wilderness and travel by land like this. However, given the near-luxurious energy consumption of floatboats, this kind of thing is popularized...... There's still a long way to go.

The more you sail forward, the more lively the places you pass by, the cities are bustling, the villages and towns are numerous, and you can often see the mercenaries escorting the caravans, shuttling through the wilderness between the cities, compared to the deserted border area that you passed yesterday, it is like another world.

More than half an hour later, looking up into the distance, a black shadow, as if it was a mountain, emerged from the end of the horizon.

As I got closer, I saw more and more clearly, it was not a mountain or a hill, but a huge city, even bigger than the Rose Capital, which the Rose family had painstakingly managed for nearly a thousand years.

At the edge of the city, a ten-meter-high stone city wall forms a closed ring, guarding more than 60 square kilometers of the inner and outer cities within the city wall.

The ring-shaped outer city guards the inner city, and everywhere in the outer city you can see gray and black pillars of smoke rising into the sky, the sound of striking anvils, the sound of cutting wood, the sound of millstones turning, and even the sound of explosions of alchemical failure. Well, it's good to ignore this last one, as long as there is an alchemy workshop, there will definitely be explosions, explosions and explosions.

Obviously, the outer city is an industrial gathering place, and various industrial facilities are built here, which not only ensures the cleanliness and beauty of the inner city, but also makes the transportation of materials more convenient.

Within the even higher inner city walls are the commercial and residential districts, and of course, the most important temple districts. The magnificent palace, the magnificent temple, the commercial area with many buildings, and the simple residential area are all from afar, and the momentum of the thousand-year-old capital is blowing in the face.

If you are careful, you will notice that whether it is the inner city or the outer city, many roofs are painted with a half-meter-thick orange line, and when you look down from the sky, these orange lines are connected into two straight lines, like a passage built on the roof, extending to a high platform at the edge of the inner city.

There is no need to doubt that this is the guide line of the floating boat, and the floating boat is slowly driving along this guidance channel into the high platform that is used as a temporary port.
