Augustinian Baths
After Nahua got off the ship, Nahua was extremely tired from the journey of several days, and dragged his body step by step to the nearest Augustine bath
The Augustine Baths cover an area of 160,000 square meters, and in addition to the 30,000 square meters baths, there are various facilities such as a library, an arena, a promenade, and a gym. The baths are divided into cold, warm, and hot water baths, steam rooms, and changing rooms, with a 30-meter-diameter bath and a 30-meter-high wall. Each of Augustine's rooms was made of marble and paved with inlaid stones; There are frescoes, there are statues, and the utensils are also unusual. The house is tall, divided into two floors, both with round arches, and Nahua feels comfortable and stable when he walks in; The inside is resplendent and complements the frescoed statues. In the center is a large gym with two fountains, and the entire bathhouse can accommodate 1,600 people
In the luxurious large communal bath, the rear half of the two sides of the bath protrudes outwards into a semicircle, and inside there is a hall, which is roughly a lecture hall, and there is a rest hall next to it. Beneath the huge dome is a swimming pool, sauna and plunge pool, surrounded by exotic plants, intricate carvings and intricate mosaics. The heated bath is the largest of all the baths, measuring 55.8 meters long and 24.1 meters wide, with a vault height of 38.1 meters. The warm water hall of the large warm bath hall is covered with three cross arches, the weight of the cross arch is concentrated on the 8 piers, there is a short wall on the outside of the pier to resist the side thrust, and the cylindrical arch is stepped between the short walls, which enhances the overall rigidity and expands the hall.
The Augustine Baths were heated by a fire kang heating system, a unique invention of the Liuhe people, which used hot water to heat the floor. In addition to bathrooms of varying temperatures and purposes, there is also a library, a gymnasium, a garden and a meeting room, all decorated with beautiful murals. The boiler room, the storehouse, and the rest room for slaves and servants were all underground, and there were passageways in the basement from which slaves and servants went to serve the baths and kept the bathers' eyes clean
The most common in the Augustinian Baths are all kinds of sculptures, half-kneeling cat lady, fox girl standing on the pillar, half-naked goddess of victory, half-naked angel, arrogant fallen angel, pointy-eared elf with hand covering private parts, banshee soaking in hot springs, mermaid with fishtail body, all kinds of legendary female ghosts appear in Augustine's bathhouse in a half-naked or * posture, wildfire, drowning girl, bone girl, bone flower, half-human and half-deer deer girl.
Nahua found that the most eye-catching thing here was the golden relief on the wall that tells the love story between the founding emperor Chibong and Menghua
800 years ago. There is a meteor of love in the sky of history, which is very dazzling, leaving a deep trace.
As her carriage passed by him, he had a firm idea that he wanted to possess her, to hold her, to kiss her, even though he was only a slave, and the thought was so mad and fervent that it was like a fire that was about to burn through the whole steppe
1 year later
He was a soldier of the Empire.
When the Emperor looked majestically at the soldiers who were about to go out below, he found her figure again, the oath of the soldiers* in the gale, the horn sounded, he secretly looked at her through the crowd, and saw the white robe she wore fluttering in the wind, her long hair jumping out of the robe, and the long flaxen hair glossed with wheat, and he was intoxicated. She seemed to see him looking at herself, so she turned around, and she smiled at him very calmly, her smile in the sunlight was the most beautiful memory of his life.
History goes on, and he's going to fight for her. He tore and killed with her love on the bloody raven plains, he was going to step on the bones of thousands of people to the top, ten-captain, centurion, thousand-commander, day after day fighting just for, he wanted her to crown him,
Eight years later, he came to the city with a million soldiers, the emperor hanged himself, he ascended the throne for the emperor on the diamond, he sent craftsmen to carve the story about the two, and many years later the diamond tablet was unearthed. Even if the two turned into white bones, King Kong Rock inscribed their love, which will endure for hundreds of years. Words record his story with its beauty and ancient civilization,
Weathered into the earth, they were once entities, buried in his past with her, and his love with her was as beautiful as ever. Reincarnated through the window she looked at the small stone engraved with strange characters, still with long flaxen hair and chestnut eyes, as beautiful as she was many years ago, but this is the current her, the current she is her future in the past, and she is the one after dozens of reincarnations. She stood there and looked at it for a long time, and she felt as if she had seen the stone, and although it was weathered, the handwriting was still deeply imprinted on it, and it was clearly visible.
She looked down and saw a pair of shoes. She looked up and saw him. He was staring at the stone as well, and then he noticed that she was looking at himself, and smiled at her. Suddenly a strong wind blew, her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her flaxen hair flew up. They were always looking at each other, looking at each other all the time. A long, long time later, almost a century later, he spoke, and he asked her, "Do you know what that word means?"
She smiled, something flashing in her chestnut eyes. "You should know that," she said. It's me who loves you. ”
He also smiled: "I love you too." ”
Na Hua looked at the relief drawing of the two people's mountain alliance and sea oath, sighed in his heart, and then thought that he would meet with Xunyin in a few days, and he could see Xunyin's moving face and bewitching body, and his heart suddenly became hot, coupled with the lifelike marble statues in all directions, Nahua quickly soaked in cold water, so as to eliminate the hot feeling in his heart
At this time, in the cold water, only Nahua was alone soaked in it, and the high-minded talk outside could be clearly transmitted into Nahua's ears, and from the outside talk, Nahua learned that the army of the Hanhai Kingdom flew over the killing plain that day, and it turned out to be a joint attack on the Jingtai Dynasty with the Wuguang Dynasty, and the Jingtai Dynasty has now fallen three-fifths of the territory, leaving only a few large cities struggling to resist, and now the debt value of the Jingtai Dynasty has depreciated by half in the financial market of the Underwater Kingdom, and it is rumored that the Jingtai Dynasty has secretly sent envoys to the Mo family and the Lu family to prepare to seek economic and military support from the two major families。
