Chapter 27: The Feast (3)

Pi Pi Xiang Zhong Dinghe said: "We have been out for so long, the dinner time should be almost up, why don't you meet Yun Tianjia and Dugu Brother and go to the Lookout Tower early?"

On the other hand, Yun Tianjia also struggled to give gifts to the snow in the water.

He and Dugu Wen walked all over the street, and then they barely found a suitable gift, and then Qi He, Xiong, and Zhong went to the Lookout Tower together.

The lookout tower is at the head of the giant street in the east city of Shizhu Island, facing east with its back to the west, adjacent to the city gate, the prosperous place at the crossroads, covering a vast area, the feng shui is wonderful, the downstairs extends in all directions, the pedestrians are weaving, it is very lively, the upstairs has a wide field of vision, inside and outside the east city, it is in full view, it can be said that it is one of the best luxuries in Shizhu Island.

Shi Zhengyang invited the students of Xingyi Academy to dinner, and naturally covered all the Wangjing Tower, and some expenses were not in his consideration at all.

This banquet was nominally just a class reunion of the First Star Academy, but the participants involved almost all the major countries of the Star Soul Continent, and everyone's identity was not trivial, of course, it could not be taken lightly.

He Xiaoduo had already ordered that the Shizhu Island Government would dispatch manpower to put all the people within 50 meters of the Wangjing Tower under martial law.

After Yun Tianjia, He Dali and other five people identified themselves with space bracelets, they could come to the bottom of the Wangjing Tower.

Before entering the door, I heard Wu Zuwei on the third floor, leaning on the railing and chanting: "Zhuang Zai Si Lou! Zhuang Zai Si Lou! Don't get tired of looking southeast, Jiang Lou faces the sea gate." The wind and waves give birth to faith, and the sky is hydrated without traces. Fish and salt gather for the city, and fireworks become a village. The feet of the sun are broken, and the peaks are numerous. The county is overlooked, and there is no way to win this Dongxuan ......"

Dugu Wenyin chuckled and said: "This guy is pretentious again, showing off his talents, it's really enough! Although the lookout tower is tall and majestic, and has a vast field of vision, even if you stare out your eyes, where can you see the sea? Where does the wind and waves, the heavenly water, the fish salt, and the golden waves come from? Virtual imagination, exaggerated!"

Dugu Wenjiao and Wu Zuwei were friends in the past, and between the comments, there was inevitably a trace of subjective prejudice.

In fact, hundreds of millions of years ago, outside the eastern city of Shizhu Island, there was indeed an ocean, but the mainland migrated, the vicissitudes of the sea, and the coastline retreated thousands of miles to the east, revealing a vast land. A large part of this land is now the territory of Togi Province.

Outside the east city gate, the terrain is steep, the drop is huge, 60 meters out of the door, the earth's crust sinks abruptly, the depth is more than 200 meters, and stretches to both sides, endlessly.

There is not only one such cascading drop zone, but there are at least seven or eight places within two hundred miles east of the East City Gate.

Because of the topography, it has become a natural military barrier on Shizhu Island, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Tuhao Empire only needs to station a small number of troops and set up a little fortification in each drop zone, so even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is difficult to break through the defense.

This is also the reason why the gate of the eastern city of Shizhu Island is almost unfortified.

However, with such a high drop outside the city gates, how can the traveler pass?

This has to talk about another ancient ruin of Shizhu Island, the "Giant's Causeway".

The Giant's Path is a collection of 370,000 equilateral hexagonal basalt pillars buried deep in the ground, starting at the gates of the city and leading straight down.

Its road surface is as wide as 60 zhang, stretches for thousands of meters, gradually decreases, every other section, there is a huge platform, flat and stable, like the ancient giants hand-built into the sea pier.

When the sea disappeared, the road became a staircase for the public to enter and exit.

The basalt pillars that make up the Giant's Road, each of which is uniform in size, about three meters in diameter, are unfathomably high, and the longest is more than 200 meters in terms of the height of the surface of the earth, and how long the part where it is buried underground is unknown.

As pedestrians had to climb hundreds of stairs to enter the city, a unique profession was born here, that of porters, helping to travel to and from merchants and deliver goods.

As for the passage of mule and horse vehicles, it is on both sides of the Giant's Road, and there are other side paths, with vehicles on the south trail going down and vehicles on the north trail climbing day and night.

However, the trail is winding, each with twenty-four turns, which is several times longer than walking on the stairs.

Wu Zu was afraid of leaning on the railing and overlooking the seascape, reciting and praising the seascape, which was the meaning of hanging the past and discussing the present, and Dugu Wen's waist was unknown, so he couldn't help but wronged him.

Yun Tianjia said: "Since Wu Zuwei came first, Princess Yue and Shi Zhengyang are probably also inside, let's go in." ”

As soon as the five people entered the door, there was already a greeting salute, and the doorman led the way, and came to the main hall on the third floor in the sound of a silk bamboo orchestra.

Wu Zuwei smiled and greeted him: "Brother Yun, Brother He, Brother Dugu, brothers, after waiting for a long time, please take a seat in the private room first!"

Yun Tianjia smiled: "Okay!"

Dugu Wen climbed Wu Zudu's shoulder, took the first step, and rushed to the private room.

The private room is near the window, you can look at the smoke and clouds outside the city, and the scenery downstairs.

Everyone looked at it for a long time, and He Dali asked, "Why are there only a few of us, and there are still people?"

Wu Zuwei shook the folding fan lightly, and said gracefully: "His Royal Highness and Princess Yue still have some gifts to prepare, and they will arrive later, please don't worry." Brothers can have some tea and snacks here and wait for a while. I'll go and greet you first. ”

After Wu Zu was afraid to leave, the muscular man Xiong Zhuang said: "Look at this posture, Shi Zhengyang and Crescent Moon Bai regard themselves as masters!"

Pi Pi Xiang Zhong Dinghe said: "They are masters, and they are only masters for a day." After today, isn't it clear who is the Lord and who is the guest?"

Xiong Zhuangzhuang said with a smile: "I'm afraid that someone can't be the master of one day and fantasizes about being the master for a lifetime! ”

He Dali shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about? People dream and others dream, if you are serious, will you agree?"

Dugu Wenyi's ancestral home is the Crescent Moon Empire, and when he heard them discuss the conflict of national interests so bluntly, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and persuaded: "Eat tea, eat tea!"

After a while, the voices of people arriving in the main hall were heard one after another.

Wu Zu pushed the door in and shouted, "Brothers, please move to the main hall and share the dinner!"

Yun Tianjia and the others got up and came to the main hall, and after a glance, the thirty-two students had all arrived, and everyone had changed into formal clothes, refreshed and happy.

Thirty-two people sat at eight tables, and it was supposed that there should be four people at one table, but everyone was obviously not so conscious, and they all sat with the members of their own country. So some tables were crowded with six or seven people, while others were lonely with only two or three.

Yun Tianjia and the others naturally shared a table with He Xiaoduo and Long Yuandong.

He Dali looked left and right, and saw that there were only two people at the table in Long Xinnan, so he pulled Xiong Zhuangzhuang and went up.

Long Xinnan didn't think it was upset and gladly accepted it.

Shi Zhengyang saw that the people had arrived, and ordered the food to be served, and in an instant, all kinds of delicacies were presented like flowing water, the glass of light and wine, the fragrant wind bursts, red, green, white and yellow, tempting appetite, and the girl who served the food was not simple, the uniform was gorgeous, the ring was fat and thin, and each had its own merits.
