Chapter 357: The City of the Rising Sun
81_81723 In the territory of the Sun Empire, the land is barren and sparsely populated. It is only under the capital or sub-cities that there are a large number of human beings.
Outside of the wilderness, countless elemental bodies occupy vast amounts of land according to their own characteristics and thrive. The capital of the Scorching Sun Empire, the capital of the Rising Sun, is close to Yancheng and is considered the largest city in the Scorching Sun Empire. And Yan City, if you have to say it exactly, is a bridgehead to prevent the riots of many elemental bodies in the Flame Canyon. Boulder City and Hanxi Pass are more like fortresses, with heavy troops stationed respectively to guard against the beast tide from the Night Moon Swamp and the Tianmu Forest. Humans in this barren land are at the bottom of the food chain, so the city is the last barrier for the survival of many humans.
The Capital of the Rising Sun is the birthplace of the Lie Clan, and because of its proximity to the Flame Canyon, the climate here is hot as if it were in a furnace, but like Suhwa Castle, it is also rich in geothermal heat and geysers.
The time was very fast, and Han Feng had already arrived at the Rising Sun Capital with Yue Zong through the teleportation array, of course, the cost was all paid by Yue Zong. There are more than 500 people in the primary selection of martial artists in Giant Stone City, but unfortunately for Yuezong, these people are just cannon fodder, after seeing the strength of the elites of other cities, Yuezong not only has a little hope for another War Emperor-level martial artist, but only Han Feng can make Yuezong a little confident.
The light pattern of the teleportation array flashed, and Han Feng appeared at the edge of the huge city, and the location of this teleportation array was outside the city, which was the place where the teleportation of all the capitals converged.
The walls of the Rising Sun are about 30 meters high, which can be regarded as a giant city, and the black rock walls stretch from north to south, like a huge volcanic crater, surrounding the entire city, exuding a quaint atmosphere. Han Feng vaguely felt that a majestic and magnificent aura was constantly emanating from around the city, this city of the rising sun should have existed for some time, and the ancient history it contained seemed to be telling the simplicity of the city in this way.
On the black rock city wall, there is a faint flicker of cold light on the fixed stone crossbows, and the city wall is densely arranged with instruments that Han Feng can't name, and the city wall has a tall tower every few hundred meters, surrounded by black stone tablets that rise to the sky, which are covered with fire magic runes. Han Feng sensed it and found that there was a fire attack magic array attached to it, these city defense facilities were many different from Duanmu City of the Roewe Empire, but Han Feng would not question the power of these magic arrays, how could there be objects such as furnishings on the walls of the capital of a country?
Seeing the high-walled fortified city, no individual strength would want to destroy this fortified city by himself, even if it was at the level of the Holy Domain. The first impression of this fortified city to Han Feng was that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the black rocks should be the natural product of underground volcanic eruptions, and I don't know how the Lie royal family built it to form the scale in front of him.
Han Feng could only see the outline of the city wall in the distance. Far away, Han Feng felt a scorching heat wave rushing towards him, and the temperature in this capital of the rising sun was indeed very hot. This city is suitable for the cultivation of fire warriors and magicians, and the concentration and distribution density of the fire element in the city are equal to the fire cave where Han Feng stayed before, you must know that the fire cave is underground, and the concentration of the fire element contained in the city in front of you can be compared with the fire cave, which shows the purity of the fire element in its empty qi.
The gates of the City of the Rising Sun are made up of huge lava stone gates of astonishing thickness. Inside and outside the city gates, a team of general-level sergeants guarded them. Each sergeant was dressed in a stubborn and majestic manner, with a sharp light in his eyes and a resolute look on his cold cheeks. The whole body is tightly wrapped in black iron armor, and it looks like a statue from a distance.
As an imperial city, the capital of the rising sun must of course have the majesty of an emperor's residence, it is strictly forbidden to make trouble in the city, if you violate, you will be attacked by the city defense army, if you think that your strength is superior, then there will naturally be someone higher than you to subdue you, but once you resist, the end is generally very miserable.
The soldiers at the gate carefully checked the identity of each warrior who entered the city, and those who did not have identity were called aside, asked in detail about the origin and purpose, and registered in the register, before the identity token was issued. Of course, the entrance fee is also indispensable, the entrance fee is only ten gold coins, which is nothing for a mercenary who has been wandering for a long time, but for the displaced people who have migrated from afar, the separation of a city wall is like a moat.
Yuezong and his entourage were no exception, but for the city lords of each city, the attitude of the guards was obviously much more respectful, thanks to the blessings of Yuezong and Feng Fengxuan, Han Feng also saved a lot of inquiry procedures, and directly got a red wooden plaque with Feng Han's name on it, which was his identity token for entering the city.
For Xiaobai, the soldiers defending the city looked solemn and drew their blades one after another, but Feng Fengxuan waved his sleeves and showed his identity token. Han Feng looked towards the token, but found that Feng Fengxuan's token was very different from his own, the token was carved from a spar, and on it was a raging beast surrounded by flames that was spitting flames without any scruples. Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city all looked at each other and knelt on the ground.
"This monster is exempt from inspection, exempt from inspection! If anyone is dissatisfied, then tell the emperor about his dissatisfaction. ”
After Feng Fengxuan finished speaking, no matter what the surrounding defenders and warriors thought of him, he pulled Han Feng's sleeve and walked towards the city. Xiaobai saw that Han Feng was being pulled by the wind and rain, and he also looked east and west from time to time, full of curiosity about this place.
Walking into the city, Han Feng was immediately attracted by the buildings inside.
Very old buildings, each building color has obvious differences, some are black, some are red, some are red with purple, and there are more copper buildings, as if the buildings here are different periods and different styles of buildings. But all buildings also have one thing in common: they are tall and solid, carved entirely by hand.
Feng Fengxuan saw Han Feng stunned and looked at this exquisite carving, and began to introduce Han Feng:
"Well, this city is different from other capitals in the scorching sun, every building here is actually carved out of the natural lava or rock here, the buildings here are spiral-shaped divisions, the more central the location, the higher the temperature, of course, the central location is extraordinarily pure. Starting from this outermost circle, the black rock on the periphery is somewhat similar to the material of the city wall, which is the black rock formed after the eruption of volcanic lava, and the biggest feature of these rocks is that they do not need to consider the erosion of time at all, and they are durable, and generally belong to civilian habitation. This inner layer of red is the minerals contained in the lava, most of which are iron and copper minerals, this layer is generally suitable for merchants and middle-level civilians to live, in this layer you can carve according to your financial resources, look at this pattern, there are architectural styles in the south and the north, this is the floor characteristics of the Haoyue Empire, this is the pavilion and pavilion characteristics of the Roewe Empire, this is the light rock characteristics of the Northern Xuanbing Continent, the surface is polished like a mirror, is it very like a crystal? Look at this layer again, from this layer is the residence of officials and the upper class, the rock layer here is rich in various precious metals and magic crystals, the purchase of real estate here is not only supported by identity and financial resources, what color of stone is opened here also depends on luck, such as this rock, although the surface is fiery red, but only after carving can you know what minerals are in it, maybe the surface is the same, maybe the minerals inside are rare deposits, worth a hundred times. It may have cost a lot of money, but it ended up being the same as the black rock formation in the outer ring. ”
"It's like cutting stones?" Han Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Feng Fengxuan's introduction, and said a noun.
"Cut stones, what is that?" Feng Fengxuan was more curious about this word, and a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly burst into fine light.
"Well, it is a method of identifying gemstones, I remember that Roewe Sky Blue City is rich in gemstones, and the purchase of real estate here seems to be the same as the method used to identify gems there, and it is also necessary to really identify the quality of stones from the inside, some stones may be worthless, and some stones do contain natural gems inside, which are worth a thousand gold. It also depends on luck. ”......
The entire Imperial City of the Scorching Sun covers a wide area, and the gaps between the rows of black houses are not very large, but the streets are very wide, and there are criss-crossing roads leading to various places among the spiral-like houses, which is very convenient. The streets are not dilapidated but very neat, and the road paved with black lava foundation is polished very smooth, and the light can be seen, and walking on it, you can see your own vague shadow from the ground, which is very novel.
Han Feng also slowly walked into the rich area with the introduction of Feng Fengxuan, where there are many exquisite and sparkling statues outside each shop, each of which is either a colorful colorful stone or a metal with a strong metallic texture. The terrain is gradually much higher than the periphery. When Han Feng really stepped into the center, he found that the central position was surrounded by huge and extremely large circular heights. There are exquisite buildings on each floor of the high ground, and the green grass and blooming flowers on them make Han Feng feel like time and space are out of order, and the temperature in this scorching sun imperial city is so high, I really don't know how these flowers and grass survive.
"From the top of the highland, it belongs to the residence of each prince, and this kind of highland has a total of 7 floors, and the higher the residence, the higher the status. Usually the first and second floors are the official residences of the officials of the Scorching Sun Dynasty, and from the third floor are the official residences of military commanders. Only the top 4 floors are the residence of the royal family. ”
"The fourth floor is the prince's palace?" Han Feng looked up at the highlands stretched out from side to side, which looked like layers of mushrooms from a distance. Let Han Feng begin to imagine what the palace of the Scorching Sun Empire looks like, but he is more concerned about which floor Lie Yuehui lives on, so he asks this question.
Feng Fengxuan's eyes silently observed Han Feng, thinking that this might be the guessed Han Feng, and he also introduced Han Feng seriously.
"The fourth layer is the residence of ordinary princes and princesses, and there are many heirs in Gale Wind, and some people are favored and some people fall out of favor. The fourth layer is basically the prince who is not valued by Fierce Wind, but no matter how it is said, it is also royal blood, and living in the fourth layer is also the right place for their identity! The fifth and sixth floors are where the favored princes are, but most of the princes who are valued by Fierce Wind are on the fifth floor, and only Lie Yuehui and Lie Chen can live in this sixth layer. As for the seventh layer, of course, it is the emperor where the Emperor Lie lives. ”
After listening to Feng Fengxuan's introduction, Han Feng's heart sank. This Lie Yuehui actually lives in such a high place, this is troublesome, Han Wei Shaoxuan may live in the Lie Yuehui Palace, this highland residence is indispensable for investigation, it seems that it is indispensable to find out the news.
Feng Fengxuan saw that the introduction of the imperial city was almost complete, and he also walked towards a huge square bronze building under the first high platform. Along the way, Han Feng also met some warriors, men and women, who came to participate in the candidates, and they were somewhat arrogant, but these people were in the same direction as Han Feng, and they all walked in the direction of the bronze building
