Section 519 City of Miracles (2)
"It's a simple question, I'll answer it!"
"It's you, Chubby Dun!" Jiaojiao finally found the familiar voice, it turned out that the passenger who had just come up was actually the little Chubby Dun Felog, whom she had just met on the boat!
"I have a name, my name is Felog, not Little Fat Dun!" Little Fat Dun was obviously very dissatisfied with this title, and even seemed to have forgotten the explanation, so he found a position against the window and sat down with his mouth pouted.
"Ferog, are you the memory genius Ferog, who memorized the entire collection of books in the library of the Academy of Magic in three years!" "This time it was Houston's turn to be surprised, the collection of books in the library of the Academy of Magic is not a simple number, there are thirteen categories, more than one hundred and twelve subjects, and hundreds of thousands of books of all kinds.
"Complimented, I just finished reading the first layer!" "Little Fat Dun was a little embarrassed to be praised as a genius by Houston, but Little Fat Dun was still very proud, after all, even if it was the first layer, there were hundreds of thousands of books, and as for the books above the second layer, they all needed levels, and those were almost all special literature books that were not open to the public, how many there were, no one knew, anyway, the people who went in never said anything about the situation inside.
"But who are?" "But you're a little familiar" Little Fat Dun looked at Houston a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, if Little Fat Dun knew magic, even if it was just a little magic, he would know one of the most famous combat instructors in this academy - Houston, but Little Fat Dun never participated in these actual combat disciplines that had nothing to do with him.
"I'm Houston, nice to meet you!" Although Houston seems to be the uncle of Chubby Dun, he is a special existence. Houston doesn't let go of acquaintances. Even if the other party doesn't have any strength, it's the same. For a living encyclopedia like Fat Dun, it has a lot of potential, otherwise Hammill, the hottest master of magic creation right now, would not have named Fat Dun as an assistant.
"Houston, are you the academy's special combat instructor, General Houston?" Xiao Chubby Dun's memory is very strong, even if he hasn't participated in a combat course because of his own situation, he still wrote down Houston.
"You two don't give me a rambling, didn't you say you were going to explain to me what that card does?" Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore. Clenched his fists and looked at the little chubby dun threateningly.
"That's a card, every student and teacher of the Imperial Academy has one, but recharge it in advance, and you can swipe the card directly when you take the car and eat in the future!"
Although Fat Dun now has a good reputation and career, Fat Dun knows that his reputation is only boasted, and he is not the only existence, and being Hammer's assistant is not a long-term solution. Hameel will not carry his name on all his achievements, if he can relate to the general in front of him. Then it is not difficult to mix up an official position in the end.
"Attention passengers, the bus is coming out!"
......
The bus slowly left the harbor and headed for the City of Miracles, getting faster and faster, until it remained at a speed of forty yards, and it would take about thirty or forty minutes to reach the City of Wonders.
"You see, it's all changed! Now that we have reached the junction of the coast and the city, there will be fewer and fewer tall trees, and more and more shrubs of medium and low height. Houston refers to the scenery outside the window, the bus has come to the boundary between the coast and the land after ten minutes of high-speed driving, the scenery is gradually changing, the tall trees become low, the more you drive towards the city, the more types of trees will be, because most of the trees are cultivated by science and technology, there are many types, even Houston only knows a few common familiar species, and the others can not be named, but it does not affect people's appreciation of the beautiful scenery.
"Wow, what kind of tree is that, it's all red, so beautiful!" Jiaojiao pointed to the row of maple trees not far away that was only about ten meters high, and the large flaming red maple leaves representing passion and vitality seemed to represent Jiaojiao's fiery heart, so Jiaojiao liked them as soon as she saw them.
"Well, it's beautiful, it's the Red Maple, also known as the Tree of Victory, also known as the Blood Blossom, and there's a commendable legend about it!" Houston is familiar with the scenery along the way, and is happy to introduce it as a guide for everyone.
In fact, for this knowledge, Chubby Dun is more familiar with Houston, but Chubby Dun is not as enthusiastic as Houston, plus the previous festival of Fez's group and General Nafir's group, Chubby Dun is deliberately alienating Fez and others, even if Houston is so enthusiastic, Chubby Dun is not as hot as before.
"What legend? is it miserable?" Fez didn't open the magic eye, but he seemed to feel a faint blood emanating from the maple leaf, as well as the lingering shadow, but Fez didn't feel any evil and cold, but he was fiery and passionate.
"It's so miserable that it's not so miserable, it's just a little tragic, thousands of years ago here was the main battlefield of the war between humans and demons, and it was also the turning point of the war between humans and demons, when human beings had experienced decades of war, countless casualties, the soldiers of the demon race followed one after another, most of the chassis of the human race were occupied by the demons, and there was only one Missouri left in the seaside port city at that time, if Missouri missed again, the history of mankind would be rewritten, so the human race at that time was almost lonely, that war was three years, a battle was fought for three years, in this city, the number of deaths on both sides of the enemy was at least more than five million, and the flesh and blood at that time almost paved the ground。
After the incident, almost everything in the whole of Missouri was destroyed, except for the maple tree, which was very ordinary at that time, not knocked down by the war and blood, but grew stronger and more red.
At that time, in order to restore life, human beings were ready to transplant all kinds of big trees, but perhaps it was because there was too much blood and slaughter here, all the transplanted trees died, and in the next hundred years, only three kinds of trees could survive and the miracle city of Missouri, the city of blood, and the red maple was the only witness to that war.
Since then, various talents have cultivated many special species according to the geology and environment here. At that time, it was ready to cut down the maple trees that survived the most on this land. But when the lumberjacks cut down the first big tree. I heard screams and a lot of blood, so I immediately stopped cutting down these seemingly useless maple trees. Houston paused, licked his parched lips, and seemed to organize the language to continue the rest of the explanation.
"Then why are there so few red maples now?" Jiaojiao liked these blood-colored trees very much, but there were only a few in the row in the distance and around them.
Although the organizers at that time stopped the plan to cut down the Scarlet Maple, the transplantation of special tree species did not stop, and then a special phenomenon was discovered in the operation, as long as the density of shrubs on a piece of land exceeded a certain value. There will be a blood-colored maple that will decay and die quickly, and slowly there will be more and more other tree species, and there will be fewer and fewer blood-colored maples.
Until now, there are very few blood-colored maples, after all, these maple trees have no other special purpose other than ornamentation, so they only symbolically leave some!" "To be honest, Houston actually likes these red leaves very much, because they not only witnessed the battle of the year, but also the honor of all soldiers and soldiers.
"By the way, you just said. Three of the three species survived, but what about the other two?" Yas joined in with some curiosity. However, Yas was curious that the original battle changed the geological environment here, which made this land unsuitable for planting most plants, not to mention the special existence of maple trees, so where are the other two sacred, and the vitality is so powerful.
"It's the Sycamore of Fire and the Green Ocean!" Although Little Fat Dun didn't want to get too close to everyone, but listening to everyone's chatter, Little Fat Dun was not a silent person, and he couldn't help but add in.
"Well, there are only two of them. "For a pharmacist like Yas, who deals with all kinds of tree medicinal herbs all day long, of course he knows the legends of these two sacred trees, but he has never seen them.
"What is that?" Yas knew, but it didn't mean that the others also knew, Jiaojiao, as a representative of everyone's questions, was the first to ask.
"The legend of the Sycamore of Fire is the perched tree of the Phoenix Firebird, and the Green Ocean is the home of the elves, although it is not as magical as the Tree of Life, the sacred tree of the elves, but the survival and reproduction ability of the green ocean is also incomparable!
Now there are two large regions in Missouri, almost all of which are dominated by these two kinds of trees!" Little Fat Dun's mouth is open, and it may be a little difficult to close it!
"Have you ever seen a firebird?" Jiaojiao seemed to be about to break the casserole and asked, looking like she would not give up.
"I haven't seen it, but the Sycamore of Fire is really very spectacular, although he is about the same color as the blood-colored maple, but he is not like a small jasper like a maple, but the rough and majestic of the northern orcs, you must go and see it if you have the chance!"
"I'll go back and see, I haven't seen a firebird either, but I've seen an icebird!"
"By the way, Houston, tell me about the situation in the City of Miracles!" For Jiaojiao's pride, Fes deliberately diverted the topic, ice birds are not a common thing, if they are noticed by someone else, I am afraid it will be a troublesome matter.
Actually, the urban structure of Missouri and Napton in the City of Wonders is almost the same, because the geographical structure of Napton is modeled after Missouri, except that Missouri is many times larger than Napton.
The whole Missouri is divided into five rings, the periphery is five huge circular areas, one circle after another, six main roads lead to the college town within the first ring, the diameter of the first ring is twenty kilometers, and then every ten kilometers is the next ring, after the fifth ring is not considered the original planning and design of Missouri.
The design within the first ring is a huge six-pointed star pattern, six main roads outlining the main line of the six-pointed star, the largest hexagon in the middle is the main teaching area of the Imperial Academy of Magic, the surrounding six triangular areas are the major research laboratories, and the rest of the areas are dormitories and residential areas.
We're going to the heart of the Imperial Academy of Magic on the First Ring Road in Missouri, but the bus will stop outside the Fifth Ring Road and we'll change at that point. Houston knew Fez's doubts, so he gave the answer before he could ask.
"I can't imagine that it is so far!" Fez, who thought that the forty-kilometer journey would be the main road of the city, but he didn't expect that it would be to the edge of the city, and there was still nearly a hundred kilometers to go!
"Oh, it's okay, in fact, the traffic in the city is very developed, if you are in a hurry, you can take the cheap and fast subway, the speed of 200 kilometers per hour can run all over the city in an hour, if you don't dare to time, the bus can also be chosen, the scenery along the way is also a good place for sightseeing, from the fifth ring to the first ring, that is, more than an hour, very convenient!" Houston knows the urban structure of Missouri very well, after all, as a representative of the military, he has long been familiar with Missouri, otherwise if something happens, he doesn't even know the road.
"Wow, it's so beautiful outside!" Jiaojiao just shut up, and the two fish-man sisters couldn't help but exclaim, although the Sea Clan is also a holy realm on earth, it doesn't mean that there is no place for human beings to compare.
At this time, the outside environment is beautiful and picturesque, the huge trees and shrubs have basically disappeared, all have become low ornamental trees, large areas of garden green space, butterflies flying among the flowers, birds frolicking in the branches and treetops, willows sparsely inserted on both sides of the river, the two of them come to the wide cobblestone path zigzag deep into the back of the hill, with the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the faint sound of the piano, there is a feeling of fairyland on earth.
Not only is the scenery picturesque, but also the harmonious beauty of the human landscape, whether it is humans, elves, beasts, or dragons, all races live in harmony on this land, the old man holds the child, and the handsome man and the beautiful woman walk hand in hand......
"There's no discrimination, there's no racial distinction, everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences, lives in harmony, and is happy!" Houston looked proud.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple behind it!" Fez seemed to find a pattern, but knew that the difficulty behind the scene in front of him was not so slight.
"Well, behind Missouri is the full support of the Magic Association, the military, the Royalty, and the Council of Elders, and at the same time there must be at least two generals or more to ensure peace and stability here, plus the binding laws here can be enforced.
Slaves were not allowed in Missouri, and no private fights were allowed.
All slave owners with slaves had to go alone before entering, and if they found slaves outside the Fifth Ring Road, they would be deported, and if they found slaves within the Fifth Ring Road, they would be forcibly disconnected from the slave relationship, and all the consequences would be borne by the slave owner.
The offense of fighting without permission is also very serious, and the general disturbance of public order is punishable by a fine and deportation for three months, and the serious existence can be deported for life, or imprisonment, so all disputes in Missouri should not be resolved through private fighting!" Houston seemed to explain to Fez, the troublemaker, that if it really came to this point, it would be very troublesome even if he came forward.
"You've all paid attention to me, if anyone gets me into trouble again, I'll shoot them to death!" Fez focused his eyes on Jiaojiao, and the two fish-man girls, although the others were not fuel-efficient lamps, but these three were the heads of the trouble.
"Hmph, look at what I'm doing, I haven't made a mistake now!" Jiaojiao looked like I hadn't made a mistake, and you glared back.
"Isn't this a fairyland on earth?" Na Sheng has always thought that human beings are synonymous with greed, violence, and perversion, even if he met Fez and others, his understanding of human beings has also changed, but his deep dislike for human beings has not been abandoned, so when he heard Houston's words, he couldn't help but make an ironic rebuttal.
"No, no matter where it is, there can be only light and no darkness, but it is hidden deeper and farther, the dispute in Missouri is just not allowed to fight head-on, but the intimidation, threats, and countless in the secret, the darkness that exists in the depths of the hearts of all living beings can never be erased, only to minimize and reduce it. "Although Houston wants to find out for the official, but the reality is cruel, as long as there are people, there will be disputes, as long as there are classes, there will be oppression, in the context of power and money, darkness can never be eliminated.
"Well, all we can do is keep our hearts in the world of flowers!" )
