Chapter 43: Fireworks in the White Sun in the Royal Capital
The quadruple city of the royal capital has a radius of nearly 30 answers, and it is an eccentric circle layout, from the Supona Palace Gate (southwest four gates) to the Baulling Carmen (southwest gate), the straight line distance is more than four taeks. This distance is usually transmitted by the horses, but in an emergency, the speed of the horses is not enough, and at this time, the cannon will be used.
Loren Magaga's use of the cannon is simple and mature, each cannon only conveys a specific meaning, there are nearly 20 kinds of cannon in existence, and the meaning of the Qingcao flower cannon is to close the eight gates of the upper city and the lower city, and block all escapes. The key lies in the word "flight". Seeing the Qingcao cannon, the eight guards will close the city gate as soon as possible, and at the same time guard inward. If you see the red coop cannon, it is also closed to the upper and lower eight guns, but the alert becomes outward.
Big Eyes is experienced after all, although he saw that suspected monster hurting people and fleeing, but he did not panic, he ordered two Fa Lu to chase after him, but he took the rest of the men to shrink the encirclement, lest the other party hide in it and take the opportunity to escape.
Of course, Ao Zheng was not in the hotel, although he did run under his command.
Leaving the secret place of Lord Goji Tangsting, the first trouble Ao Zongheng faced was how to get back to the upper city where he had settled as soon as possible from the heavily guarded royal city, full of royal guards and mouthless feet - the court lord's reminder was timely, and he could not let the beast fall into the hands of the mouthless.
In broad daylight, if you want to pass through half of the royal capital quickly and secretly, you can't do it if you don't know how to stealth. So as soon as he left the royal city, he hired a wagon to travel on his behalf. You ask him how he managed to get through the royal gates, which were heavily checked, and it was difficult to sneak through half of the kings, but it was easy to climb over the walls - a strange gust of wind blew the guards on the city wall trail to cover their eyes, and that was it.
The guards of the royal capital were unusually mobilized, and Ao Zongheng noticed it halfway through, he did not go straight to the hotel on Basar Street, but found a place to sit in a tavern more than thirty feet away, anyway, he didn't have to rely on it.
At this time, Gammel and the other five guards had just entered the door of the inn.
The Emperor was already surrounded by the royal guards, and it seemed that it would be difficult to rescue it safely unless Ao Zongheng forcibly attacked.
But Arrogant has another way.
Although the appearance of the evolved and the unevolved is a big change, it is not as good as the change on the inside. For example, after evolution, the mage can communicate with the mage to a certain extent, that is, there is no need to have direct contact, or even to meet, within a certain distance, the mage can give instructions to the mage, and even feel the feeling, but the latter is only extremely rare in recorded history, and it is generally believed that it is only possible if the mage has been with the mage for more than fifteen or even twenty years.
Of course, Arrogant Can't do what he feels, but he may be even better than other mages in his ability to command Evil from a distance.
The Aozong received an order from Aozong to break through on its own, and the route given to it by Aozong was supposed to pass through between the various spells, but at this moment, Aozong found that there was a familiar air density anomaly near the Aozong Beast - it was the fire mage from last night!
The so-called enemies were very red when they met, so the sudden change of direction of the evil beast directly attacked the fire mage, which was logical. But I don't know if it's really telepathic, the fierce shot, no, the ferocity of the hooves is beyond the expectation of the arrogant, if it weren't for the arrogant urging it to escape, I'm afraid it would have to step on a few more hooves.
When the big mouth was shouting and firing the cannon, Ao Zongheng could naturally hear it. This man must be the leader of this gang, but this is not the voice of the old fish, and he has no intention of looking for this bad luck. Although he didn't understand the signal of Loren Magaga's cannon, he could guess and guess what it was used for by a blind person who was angry at this time.
Arrogant wasn't worried about being exposed and surrounded, he was worried about whether the speed of the deer would be enough for it to escape from the lower city safely.
At this time, the attendant who was called out reacted and hurriedly rummaged through the satchel he carried for the cannon.
The length and thickness of the cannon are like the arms of a three-year-old, and the shape is like a cannon battle, with a finger-long lead at the top. Obviously, the small satchel could not hold nearly twenty kinds of cannons, but today's mission could not be used so much, and he only brought five kinds of cannons, so he found the cannons almost the moment he opened the satchel.
The right hand takes the cannon, holds it upright, and the left hand wearing ignition gloves twists the lead with two fingers, and then the right hand holds the cannon high to the sky, which is the standard operation of the starting cannon, and every attendant in charge of the starting cannon has trained this action at least hundreds of times, and is naturally proficient. The burning fuse quickly shortened and disappeared into the front of the cannon, only to hear a "poof", which caused the front end of the cannon to burst open, and a dazzling light flew into the sky.
However, the light that should have flown into the air for dozens of rounds and then exploded actually flew down as if the power was exhausted after only flying for ten rounds, and then suddenly exploded at the height of three or four feet on the ground, under the gaze of hundreds of soldiers and civilians who were waiting for hundreds of people at the scene!
The fireworks that should have formed a beautiful green coop flower in the air, coupled with a large amount of gunpowder smoke caused by burning and explosion, suddenly made the scene extremely lively, hundreds of guards only cared about dodging the fireworks, and also helped their companions who were ignited by the fire to extinguish the fire, the scene was chaotic, a mess, and the big mouth was protected by the guards, but it was okay, but this situation, it was impossible for him to restore effective command immediately.
The most uncomfortable thing may be to count the countless melon-eating people, the scene in front of them makes them want to laugh, but they have to desperately hold back, and some even have to lend a pair of hands to cover their companions' mouths, so as not to cause trouble for themselves.
All of this was the work of Arrogant, and he had countless means to stop the cannon from firing, but he wanted to make it look as if it was an accident rather than a human being, so he used air pressure to create the illusion of an inferior cannon with insufficient propellant.
In the midst of the screaming and chaos, no one would have noticed the quietly departing guest in a tavern more than thirty feet away from the Rue de Barsa.
Wait, seem to have forgotten something?
Oh, it's that hapless fire mage, arrogant and arrogant, who doesn't really regard the other party as an enemy - people are just acting on orders, and the "greeting" of that hoof has been hit, and that little unpleasantness has been revealed.
Most of the White High Mountain is in the royal city, but its nearly 100-hundred-high peak is in the palace city, and the symbol of the Loren Magaga Kingdom - the White High Tree Palace is built on this mountain.
Although the White Beacon Palace is built on the mountain, it is famous, but it is not the highest building in the entire royal capital, at the top of the peak, there is a large beacon tower, and at the lower part of the large beacon tower, and the same axis and direction of the White Tall Tree Palace, is the most sacred place in the kingdom of Loren Magaga - the Temple of Protectors.
Only the main god is qualified to become the guardian god of a country, as for which main god to choose to become the protector god, it is neither decided by the gods, nor by the king, most of the time it is a limited two-way choice, there are too many things involved, anyway, in the history of the Loren Magaga Kingdom for two hundred and sixty-five years, there have been three protector gods before and after, and today's protector god is the god of calamity Ibai.
In the temple of the protectorate, of course, there is a statue of the god Ibai, and in the center of the steps outside the temple gate, there is a stone statue and tombstone of King Kaimo, the founding king of Loren Magaga, and on the pillars on both sides of the temple, there are also tombstones of the kings of the past dynasties. It can be said that in the temple of the protectorate, apart from the stones, there are still stones, and there are not even many individual colors.
Although the Protector Temple is located in the core of the Miyagi, it is the only place in the royal capital that is not under the jurisdiction of the royal power, and if the Ministry of Justice is counted, it is the only two. But if the king goes to the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the boss of the Ministry of Legal Affairs is not allowed to come out to greet him, but if the king comes to the temple to protect the country, he does not even have to salute the guards, even if the Minister of Legal Affairs comes, it is the same treatment.
Do you still remember the sentence of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, "Worship God and regard the king's power"? Above the royal power and the legal power, there is only divine power, and the one who represents God's will and acts on behalf of the divine right is the master of the temple -- the priest.
Every temple has it, and there is only one priest, the one in the ordinary temple is the priest, the one in the main temple is the chief priest, and the one in the temple of the protector is also the chief priest, but the secular people are generally called the protector priest. Below the priests are the priests, the priests, and the deacons who are responsible for the security of the guard of honor. These people, who eat and eat, are all sacrificed by the subjects of the country where they are located, but they are only subject to worship and are not bound by the law, and they are completely self-contained and do their own thing. And the reason why they can enjoy all this is only one thing - the divine power of the gods.
The gods of the world of Ploz, really not a spiritual belief, maybe the vast majority of people will not see the true face of the gods in their lives, but there are many opportunities to feel the power of the gods, like the famous tyrant in the history of Loren Magaga, known as the "King of Hearts", King Jialun, he was because the people were too resentful, and as a result, at the annual festival of the Protector Temple, he was killed by the god of the construction of the protector god at that time, Kakao and refused to continue to shelter Lorren Magaga, which led to the first change of the protector god in the history of Lorren Magaga.
However, although the gods really have spirits, they are not all things that can be turned to the gods, especially the temple of the protector of the country, although it is the most favored by the gods, but it is not a major matter of the country, even the face of the king is not good.
Today's Protector Pidani is amiable, erudite, extremely pious, and principled, and is highly respected both inside and outside the temple. If there is anyone in the royal capital who can ask for the help of the protector, most people will think that the king is barely one. Only the priesthood, who were close to the priests, knew that the three kings together were no match for the woman compared to their position in the heart of the Holy See.
Although the priest worships the gods, the priests are still human beings, and people's needs and desires are not only to eat well and dress well, even the priests who protect the country are no exception.
Next to the White High Tree Palace, a 10,000-step ladder leads directly to the Protector Temple, which is the only passage between the peak and the mountain, and its official name is the Zun Shen Path.
