Verse 235: City in the Lake

Jebel Danner is the most amazing city Norman has ever seen.

It's a city in a lake.

The vast lake is sparkling and vast, and you can't see the left and right ends at a glance, and you don't know how long it is. Looking ahead along the surface of the lake, the lake and the sky are connected at the end of the eye, and it is impossible to distinguish between them.

It's not so much a lake, but for Norman, who has never seen such a large lake, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the sea.

This is Lake Yinbo, the largest lake in Holker's territory, and Jebel Danner is right in the middle of the lake.

Standing here in Norman and looking ahead, you can see a conspicuous island in the middle of the boundless lake, which is the largest island in Yinbo Lake, Hongshan Island, and the location of the city of Jebel Dana.

Because of the distance, Norman could not see the scenery of Red Hill Island very clearly, and could only see the buildings on it from a distance.

Between this end of Yinbo Lake and Hongshan Island, there is a wide bridge.

This wide, long stone bridge is called Hogg Bridge and is named after Hogg, the designer of this bridge.

The Hogg Bridge is a miraculous bridge project in the United Kingdom of Augustus, and according to DeWitt, it is "the first bridge in the kingdom", with a total length of three miles, spanning the Silver Wave Lake, connecting the Red Hill Island with the southern shore of the Silver Wave Lake.

Because of the existence of the Hogg Bridge, people do not need to rely on ships to enter and exit Jebel Dana, just take the land route, and there are also ships to and from Jebel Dana, which makes Jebel Dana's transportation convenience will not be much inferior to other cities, and at the same time, as a city in the lake, it has a unique landscape and natural geographical conditions that other cities do not have, full of unusual beauty, which is probably why this city has become the capital of art.

"I kind of know why these artists are fighting so hard for residency. ”

Norman sighed as he looked at the unique landscape in front of him.

He was a little puzzled when he heard Fitzgeller say that Jebel Danna's residency was capped and needed to be contested, in his opinion, you just find a place to live on the edge of the city? Who else can drive you away? But now he understands why this residency needs to be fought for - as a city in the lake, Jebel Dana's living area is limited, which also leads to its capacity for a limited population, if you want to have a right of residence, you have to fight for it.

After sighing, Norman withdrew his gaze and looked around: he was now in a neatly assembled camp, and around theirs there were many similar camps, stretching along the shore of the lake. At a glance, the tents on the shore of the lake are like blooming flowers, colorful and of all shapes, and they are very bright.

Those who also came to Jebel Danna from all over the country to participate in the festival, the number of artists in the kingdom was much more than Norman had imagined.

They must all have come with the same ambition to get residency as Fitzgerer and his team, but before they got it, they could only stay on the shore of the lake during the festival, and they could go into the city during the day to play and participate in various activities, but at night they had to leave Hongshan Island.

Only a handful of exceptional artists who are highly accomplished but don't live in Jebel Danna are eligible to live in Jebel Danna during the festival, and that's an honor, but that honor clearly doesn't belong to the Little Chrysanthemum Troupe – oh, the Little Chrysanthemum Troupe is the official name of Fitzgeral's troupe.

It is not uncommon to use the name of flowers to name the art troupe, and it is easier to distinguish it from other teams by adding a "small" modifier, and the whole name is understandable, and there is nothing wrong with it in everyone's eyes, except that Norman is very awkward every time he hears this name.

He is familiar with the water friends in the live broadcast room, but he knows that "chrysanthemum" has a meaning in the ancient saying, and the thought of that meaning makes him awkward.

But Norman quickly shook his head, put the thought aside, and continued to take in the scenery around him.

Although the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe did not have the right to temporarily reside in Jebel Danner, it was still relatively rare as an art troupe composed of almost all nobles, so they found a good wide camp near the Hogg Bridge, so that it was slightly easier to get in and out of Jebel Danner.

Because of its proximity, Norman could clearly see the pedestrians on the Hogg Bridge: it was morning, and almost all the people on the bridge were heading for Jebel Dana.

After looking at it for a while, Norman turned around and left, went to find Chen Qinghe, and prepared to go to Jebel Danner to have a look, wanting to see the scenery of this rare city in the lake, while Abel didn't need to look for it, he followed Norman almost all day long.

There were a lot fewer members in the camp, many of them had already run to the city early, and the rest were those who were focused on the music, still practicing and rehearsing with each other.

In the days they had been going on, Norman had already taught them the music he wanted to make, and it was the piece they were now practicing. After learning this song, although they have only mastered a part, it is enough to make them feel like they have obtained a treasure, and they keep practicing it as if they are crazy, as if they want to root this song in their blood and bone marrow to be comfortable.

In addition to teaching music, these members of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe have also learned the same thing in the past few days, which is conducting.

Norman explained to them the specific meaning, significance and content of the conductor, and told them in detail the basic meaning of the various gestures of the conductor, so that they could memorize them firmly, and also conducted many pre-practice exercises, and the whole orchestra was initially revealed.

According to Tristan, they could now try to perform the piece, but unfortunately they were now in Jebel Danner.

As soon as they came to this holy place of art, many people's hearts were scattered, and the effect of practicing was not very good, and this matter was not in a hurry, so they simply pressed it temporarily, and let them go and let their hearts fly first.

After saying hello to Fitzgeller, Norman and the three of them left the camp, got onto Hogg Bridge, and headed in the direction of Jebel Danner.

For those who are passionate about art, this is a pilgrimage route, and for Norman it doesn't feel much, and after a while he loses his freshness, and begins to remember what Lancelot has just said to him.

The construction of the magic pool, the Knights Templar has finally come up with a sketch.
