Chapter 8: Return to Atlantis City in the fifth quarter

The towering walls have been covered in snow and ice, and people can barely make out the original appearance of the walls from the outside. The contrasts of déjà vu and contrasts stirred up waves in Evelyn's heart, and the moments in this majestic city were vivid.

The horse's breath formed a white mist visible to the naked eye, and the sun patronized the town of Glacier Lake, and then came to an abrupt end at the corner of the Afterglow Forest and the Avenue of Splendour. Atlantis City, the city of kings, is still shrouded in heavy dark clouds, and standing at its feet, it is as if the snow of the snow-capped mountains in winter will pour out at any moment and completely cover it.

"Is this normal? I mean...... The patrolling guards of Atlantis don't even look like the city of Queens?" Tyrami noticed that the guards scattered on the layers of walls were paired with the main city that admired force.

"It's kind of weird. Evelyn agreed. At her command, the horse's white horse slowed down, and it would be unfriendly to gallop into other main cities, which was the custom in the Eastern Continent.

Upon entering the gate of the first floor, a guard dressed in heavy silver armor stepped forward to stop Evelyn and Tellamy, who saw that his slightly delicate armor was one of the officers guarding the city.

"This is Atlantis City, please show your identity!" the guard said.

Terami nodded in acknowledgement, then lifted the cloak attached to the totem of Queen City and said, "The negotiator of the Glory Temple of Queen City has come to negotiate the alliance of the Lord Regent." ”

Hearing this, the guard gave a military salute, stepped back to make way for the entrance gate, and said, "It turned out to be the honored guest of the Temple of Glory, and I welcome it on behalf of the defenders of the outer city." ”

The two then rode through the gate.

The city of Atlantis was covered in snow, and both the residents and the occasional patrol guard who passed by in groups and quarters wore thick cotton suits, which contrasted with the thinly dressed two Queen's City visitors.

"It doesn't look like it's been a day or two in the cold here. Terami looked around and said casually, "You can feel how thick the snow is under your feet when you're on a horse, and you can see the ice in your eyes." ”

"Yes, it seems that the current city of Asia will not be able to withstand the bitter cold from the Northlands. Evelyn agreed. She was not surprised by this, and the loss of the king and queen naturally left the main city without shelter. No matter how powerful the replacement is, this bottomless pit gap cannot be filled. The most important thing is that there is not even a single magician in Atlantis City now, and since entering the Atlantis realm, except for the scattered settlements of the Lonellans, there has not even been a single elf.

"So, there are no magicians in Atlantis?" said Tellamy.

Evelyn explained, "At least there is no Sage-level magician, only that level or higher is likely to have the power to resist the climate. ”

"So, Atlantis once had a magician of that level. "Terami said.

"Princess Angelina. Evelyn's voice was calm.

Terami no longer asked, the topic was never easy for Evelyn. At some point, the elf began to tell the story of the past in a bland, almost casual tone, which was one of the reasons why the Dikan man was deeply attracted - at least put the matter on himself, and could not face the main city that had hurt her so calmly.

It can be said that knowing Evelyn has changed Tellamy's original view to a great extent, at least about the worship of Atlantis, the "city of kings", which everyone said. He hadn't fully accepted Evelyn's claim that the murder of the king was unacceptable to the people of Digan whenever it was mentioned.

Later, Tellami found something to talk about, while Evelyn remained calm. When the two reached the stone gate that led to the top floor, Diana, dressed in delicate black armor and black clothes, stood there as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"It's been a hard time on the road. Diana greeted, "The meeting is scheduled to start tomorrow afternoon, and then I will take the two of you to the VIP area for a rest." ”

"Tomorrow? Looks like we're here at the right time. Tellami laughed.

Diana nodded, "The representatives of Nightglow Valley haven't arrived yet. We have just received the news that this time it was not General Zorn who came in person, and of course, an important person who came to the meeting. So, Master Karl decided to wait for him to arrive. ”

"Iseka?" said Evelyn coldly.

"Seems to be well-informed about Mentor Evelyn. Yes, Lord Issaka, prophet of the tribe of Digan. Diana smiled, "Please come with me." ”

Diana motioned for the guards to step forward and help Evelyn and the others dismount, and horses were not allowed in the central city, which was in the core of the city.

"As far as I know, no one knows how old he is, not even that he has never left the Black Tower in the Valley of Nightlight. Tellami leaned in over Evelyn and asked in a whisper.

Evelyn glanced at him disdainfully, and questioned, "Never left the Blacktower?"

Slightly embarrassed, Terami added, "That Lord has been monitoring the Northland's every move for many years, and you should know that his status is no less than that of the two dragon knights. ”

Evelyn sneered, and put her hands behind her back to reply. He understood Terami's unintentional admiration, after all, it was extremely rare for the Digmy people to produce a good magician, let alone a prophet. At the same time, the mission of that prophet was closely related to the safety of the Eastern Continent, and even the two dragon knights could only be regarded as juniors in front of him.

But what happened to Evelyn Tellami didn't know, and he naturally didn't understand why Evelyn was so unwelcome to this topic.

"This is it, if you need anything, just tell the waiter. ”

After a distance of about a few hundred steps, Diana signaled that she had reached the designated rest area. The building is not far from the palace of the council, and the rounded doors and windows are very different from the architectural style in Yacheng. Evelyn is no stranger to these elegant buildings, which were built by the Starlight Elves after they arrived in Atlantis, and were originally dedicated to the elves' residences, but now they are empty.

Evelyn looked coldly at the smiling woman beside her, who was "respectfully" extending her right arm to show the building.

"These houses ......," Terami said, with a confused face. In order for him to ask, Diana had already added an explanation: "As you can see, the buildings in this area are all made by the elves, and it seems that Mentor Terami is a man of great knowledge. ”

"With the foreign guests placed in the backyard of the palace, it seems that the current Lord Regent is really confident. Evelyn said sarcastically.

When Terami heard this, he immediately reacted to the relationship, and said in his heart: It seems that Atlantis City's move has a deeper meaning, but I didn't expect it to be so straightforward!

Diana was not angry, and said slowly: "For the city of kings standing at the top of the Eastern Continent, since it stands in this position, it is natural to give the best reception to foreign guests. After all, nothing can threaten such a main city, so letting the VIPs stay here is obviously the best option.

As the two of them can see, since the Lord Regent took the helm of Atlantis, all the areas have been arranged more reasonably. On the other side of the palace was the prison for the prisoners, which was separated from the area by the palace where the regent lived.

All the facilities in the house are fully equipped, and the two mounts will also be cared for by the breeder, so you can rest in peace and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. ”

Evelyn laughed, "Well, in that case, Lord Karl is really a merciful lord who can really place a prison in the royal city? ”

"Yes," Diana agreed, "wouldn't it be nice to provide a more comfortable living environment for the inhabitants of the lower classes, without having to deal with the prisoners? ”

"I didn't see many soldiers along the way. Evelyn said.

Diana folded her arms and smiled with pride: "No wonder, Lord Evelyn has been away from Atlantis City for too long, will Queen City expose the army to the public?"

Evelyn waved her hand and walked to the room.

"It's okay, after all, I'm not a general leading a team now, nor am I the ruler of a major city. Thank you for your hospitality, please come back if nothing else. Evelyn said coldly.

"Did you hear the request of the dignitaries? Diana then ordered all the guards to evacuate, and she herself left. Until he reached the door of this residence, he turned and added, "The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and if you have any other requirements, you can just ask the attendants here." ”

Inevitably, their eyes met again, this time sharper for each other.
