Chapter 90: Entering the Palace
There is also a straight and wide staircase in front of the palace, which is worse than the one outside the witch hall. Although there is no royal road, it is not difficult to feel the solemnity of that area when walking in the middle of it.
The trapezoidal palace has three more sections than Devis's, a total of six sections, each of which is ten meters high, and is made of bluestone like the witch hall.
The witch hall and the palace are one high and one short, one vertical and one horizontal, standing on the top of two mountains in the distance, there is a long iron chain bridge in the middle, and below is the abyss.
The horned car swayed on the chain bridge, and although you couldn't see the scene under the bridge, you could see it in the distance.
Between the clouds and mist, a series of rolling mountains can not be seen, magnificent and magnificent.
Tang Ba recalled the map he saw in Chab's study, Zhongao City is located at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, which spans the entire Zhongao Continent, and it is really shocking to be in it now!
Tang Ba retracted his gaze and followed Chabu into the gate of the palace, the bluestone square pillars on both sides stood like guards, and as they went deeper into the palace, the light became darker and darker, and the empty hall was empty except for their group.
The sound of kicking and stomping footsteps echoed one after another, and the sense of solemnity became more and more intense, making people unconsciously relax their feet and hold their breath.
"Boomβ"
The two heavy stone doors slowly opened to the sides, and a high-pitched call sounded in the hall: "Davis DawuβChabu enters the palaceβ"
The roar of the stone gate and the sound of the temple stopped at the same time, and the scene was shockingly quiet!
Striding into the main hall, the bluestone square pillars on both sides are still the same, and between the square pillars stand a military officer holding a silver iron halberd and wearing a red battle armor, all expressionless and staring ahead.
The only one who walked in front of Damba was Chab, so her vision was unobstructed, and she could see the high platform at the end of the carpet at a glance.
There is a wide and high-backed stone chair at the top of the high platform, the top of the back of the chair is carved with the head of an unknown hunting beast, and in the stone chair sits a middle-aged man wearing dark green armor and an ink-colored crown on his head.
There is also a stone chair under the throne, which is wide and pointed at the top of the high back, in the shape of an equilateral triangle. An old man with a bone-white scepter in his hand, his waist and back straight, and the face of an old man lined with dark green dark gold embroidered witch robe can be called kind eyebrows and kind eyes, crane hair and childish face!
There were several rows of people standing at the bottom of the platform, wearing witch robes on one side and armor on the other, all of whom were looking sideways at the felt carpet in the middle.
Tang Ba looked at the people on both sides with his peripheral vision, standing at the very end were the red-robed witches and military officers with triangular patterns, followed by indigo plain, indigo embroidery, dark purple plain and embroidery, these people were quite numerous, only the dark green plain had four people, standing at the front of the line on both sides.
This station is obviously arranged according to the level of status, and Tang Ba has finally made the hierarchical status here clear!
Retracting his usual gaze, he bent down with Chab.
"Davis Wu Chab, I have seen the Emperor and Wu Zu. Chab said in a loud voice.
A deep voice came from the high platform, "Dawu Chabu has worked hard all the way. β
Chabu bent down and replied, "Don't dare." β
"Is Devis still safe?" asked the man on the high platform.
Chab: "Everything is fine, the Emperor can rest assured." β
There was a sound of armor rubbing on the high platform, and Tang Ba guessed that the emperor was standing up.
Although she usually only saw the steps in front of her, she didn't dare to look up at the people on the high platform here.
Sure enough, the deep voice was closer, and he asked again: "Why hasn't Yao Sheng come to see me yet?
There was no complaint, only worry.
"Back to the Emperor, King Sheng is in better health, but the witch doctor said that he can't be too tired, so he couldn't come to meet the Emperor this time, and the Emperor should not blame. Chabu replied, "King Sheng specially asked me to bring 450 slaves to the Emperor, and asked me to tell the Emperor not to worry, the next witch festival King Sheng will come to meet the Emperor." β
"I'm not saying in the letter that this witch sacrifice doesn't have to be a slave. Yao Chu's voice couldn't hear any emotion, just said flatly.
Chab: "King Sheng has always missed the emperor very much, if even this gift is broken, King Sheng will feel uneasy, and I hope that the emperor will accept King Sheng's heart." β
"Good. Yao Chu paced: "Although Yao Sheng is the king, he and I have the same red vein, 7 witch sacrifices are missing, I miss Yao Sheng very much, Yao Qing also misses his Ah Chun, this time you go back to Davis and take Yao Qing back!"
Chabu immediately bent down and said: "King Sheng specially instructed me to let the Emperor take him to take care of the Qing Monarch, Zhong Ao is more suitable for the growth of the Qing Monarch than Devis, and I hope the Emperor will not refuse." β
Listening to the positive joy of chatting about state affairs and family affairs between the monarch and the ministers, Tang Ba was a little distracted, although she had never seen Yao Sheng but had heard of it, but she had never heard the news of Yao Sheng's illness, and she was sick for seven years and couldn't work for seven years, what kind of illness is this? Could it be that Yao Sheng is actually a sick seedling?
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter peculiar to the old man from the high platform, "Chab, you have finally accepted an official witch." β
Chabu said respectfully: "Back to Wuzu, her name is Tang Ba." β
Hearing his name being called, Tang Ba immediately retracted his divergent nerves.
"Tamba. Wu Zu repeated, and said with a smile: "Come up and I'll take a look." β
Tang Ba lowered his eyes and swept down the witch robe without a trace of wrinkles, then raised his feet and walked towards the high platform, and when he got closer, he bowed respectfully ninety degrees, "Tang Ba has seen Wu Zu." β
Wu Zu looked at Tang Ba in front of him with a smile on his lips and a calm expression, and nodded slightly, "You are very good!"
Tang Bawei leaned over, "Xie Wuzu praised." β
Wu Zu looked at Tang Ba for a moment, stopped at Tang Ba's waist, raised his finger and pointed, "Chabu actually gave you this Xuanzi rope?"
The sound of the two talking was not loud, only Yao Chu, who was standing on the high platform and talking to people, heard it, Yao Chu swept his eyes when he heard the sound, and Tang Ba talked to the courtiers again.
This Xuanzi rope was specially wrapped around her waist by Chabu, saying that it was for her to protect herself, but Tang Ba didn't understand its real intention, and she seemed to have some clue at this time.
It seems that the Lan Ge Eminem she picked up not only vibrates Devis, but even Zhongao has gone to the sea!
Sure enough, Wu Zu asked, "Do you know Lan Ge?"
Tang Ba: "I know a little, Lan Gewu is very powerful. β
Wu Zu smiled and changed the subject: "This Xuanzi rope is a very powerful puppet, I heard that it is Wuwu's most proud work, you have to use it well." β
"Yes, Wu Zu. Tang Ba blinked and said with a smile: "Wu Zu, what kind of person is Wuwu, is it an old man who is so kind and willing to be close to you like you?"
"Hahaha......" Wu Zu raised his head and laughed, causing many people to look at the old and young people curiously.
Wu Zu stroked his silver-white long beard and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Wuwu, and I haven't heard of anyone who has seen it, why don't you call it Wuwu?!"
Tang Ba bent down and flattered: "Xie Wuzu taught me." β
"You doll!" Wu Zu nodded at Tang Ba and laughed again.
