146. Need for Speed

Colombo's streets are lined with tall roadside trees. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info these guards with a lush canopy faithfully shielded the Colombo people from the scorching Coronian sun.

Pedestrians on the side of the road walk under such a thick green screen, and they don't have to worry about the pain of the sun at all. But now they were screaming in alarm, and some of them even climbed onto the trees by the roadside, as if some terrible beast had scurried into the crowded streets of Colombo.

It's all because of the appearance of an alchemical carriage on the streets of Colombo that looks like a drunken earth lizard.

The alchemy wagon ran over Colombo's smooth stone pavement at a high speed that would make all other vehicles humiliating.

Several oncoming City Guard patrols were scrambling to do something, but before they could react, the terrifying speeding car disappeared into the end of the street with a puff of smoke.

After a delay at Curtiss's Mouse Pastry Candy Shop, East made the most of the F1 cars he had seen in his previous life on the rest of the journey.

An ordinary alchemy carriage made him drive at a high speed of more than ninety miles. At this speed, the whole carriage trembled desperately, and every part let out a groan/moan of pain, as if in the next moment it would be reduced to zero, and it would return to its original state.

Ordinary people must be terrified in this situation. But the three men in the carriage were as steady as Mount Tai. For East, ninety miles of speed can't even get into the fast lane of the highway. And for Sonia, this speed did not exceed her reflexes, which belonged to the level of being able to sit and standby.

However, Xiao Mo Tuan'er woke up from sleep, turned into a black light, and kept shuttling in the carriage, seemingly loving the feeling of high-speed driving.

Relying on Superman's dynamic vision, and also by virtue of the speed of other means of transportation, East made the carriage gallop down the streets of Colombo, leaving everyone who saw it stunned at the cost of a hundred demerit points, a fine of five thousand, a detention sentence of three months, and even a conviction for endangering public safety in a dangerous way.

Relying on the fact that there is no speed limit in Colombo, Esther and his party finally drove out of the dense streets of Colombo before the sun went down and saw the majestic and tall walls of Colombo perched on top of the hills.

The hill on which Kollenburg is located is a place that is extremely famous in Coronia. When it was first discovered, it was named White Hill to correspond to the white rocks that spread over the hills.

The rocks were eventually mined in large quantities, and many of the buildings throughout Colombo, including the famous White Tower, were built entirely using white stone from the site.

Before the Dark Ages, the whole of Colombo was a city without walls. The royal family of Coron also lived in the luxurious and comfortable palaces of the city. But the arrival of the Great Void Shake changed everything. The Cologne family was clearly under the authority of a man of insight at the time. Using the resources at hand, they urgently built a fortified castle on the White Hills to serve as the last stronghold of the Coren family in Coronia, before anyone could understand the terrible consequences of the Void Shock. In the long dark ages that followed, relying on the strong stronghold of Cologneburg, the Cologne family resisted repeated riots, outcasts and warlord wars, successfully preserved their strength in the dark ages, and once again became the rulers of the entire Coronia.

In the setting sun, the tall walls of Kolenburg appear to be a thick golden yellow. Forty meters tall and more than thirty meters thick, it is more of a free-standing edifice than a stone wall. Behind the city walls, there are a large number of caves, storage rooms, magic centers, and arsenals. It is said that during the Dark Ages, when it was besieged by foreign warlords, the castle's arsenal alone produced a full set of weapons and armor for 500 soldiers every day. At that time, Kolenburg was only a quarter the size of today.

To date, Kolenburg has been expanded five times. Each extension was extended from the two intersecting walls of the original castle, and finally the old castle was transformed into a branch fort with separate walls protruding from the main castle.

This method of expansion was precisely in response to the terrible large-scale warfare of the Dark Ages. The independent branch fort can form a crossfire with the main fort, effectively defending one direction of the main fort.

Three hundred years before the last expansion, Korinburg had been free of war for a long time, and because the entire hill had been occupied by the castle, the last wall could only enclose the entire hill along the edge of the hill, and thus enclose all the branch castles within the walls of the main castle.

This situation also led to the large fort and small fort in Kollenburg, which had an extremely complex system of gates and walls. For those who are not familiar with the roads, there is no way to get through these areas.

The outer walls of Kolenburg are lined with ten gates in sequence. Each gate was built with stone of a different color. These gates are five meters high and ten meters wide, large enough to enter and exit the largest carrying golems and earth lizards side by side. Normally, only the white gates facing downtown Colombo are open throughout the day. Most of the rest of the gates are only open for a period of time at noon and evening, and some are closed for years.

Today, all the gates will be open all night. Because many nobles came from all over Kolunburg. For the convenience of these lords, and also to show the royal family's respect for the nobles, all the city gates will not be closed tonight.

After seeing the walls of Kolunburg, East soon realized that the three of them were definitely not the only team to arrive early. At a glance, the wide avenue leading to Kolunburg is dotted with at least seventeen or eighteen horse-drawn carriages. In contrast, only the carriage in which the three Easters rode was the most modest, and there were no noble symbols on it.

Each of these alchemy carriages was large, with special guard seats installed on the roof, and at least two guards sat on the roof, pretending to be vigilant and watching everything around them. There was also a special railing at the back of the car, and the valets and attendants who could not enjoy the treatment of sharing the car with their masters and families had to stand in it at the risk of falling. Fortunately, the speed of these alchemy carriages can rarely exceed twenty kilometers, so as long as you pay attention, these poor people will not fall, and even if they do, it will not be a big problem.

Mora Gault told Easter with some sarcasm. These cars that arrived early were usually nouveau riche newborn aristocrats, who arrived early to have enough time to compare themselves with each other, and at the same time to be prepared to flatter the noble nobles who had always come late.

Easter's carriage seemed to have wings, and the dust kicked up by the wheels drowned out the other cars that were slowing down the road. There was angry coughing and scolding from several wagons, but the wheels of the carriage in front of them rolled rapidly on the ground, leaving their scolding directly in the dust.

The owners of several carriages seemed unwilling to be overtaken by Easter, leaving behind to eat dirt, and significantly increased their speed. The attendants and guards in the most ferocious cars soon turned pale one by one, because it was likely that there would be more than just breaking an arm in such a high-speed fall. As the first unlucky man fell from the back of the car screaming, and then was run over by the cars behind him in a frenzied manner, becoming fragmented, a large number of screams poured out from the inside and outside of the cars.

But in the face of a remarkable Need for Speed player and owner of Legendary Perception, their resistance pales in comparison. After all, people in this era rarely have experience driving at high speeds. In normal times, there are very few drivers who can drive the alchemy carriage for more than forty miles, let alone one hundred miles.

Easter forcefully pulled away a few cars that he saw were slow as turtles crawling, but occupying the middle of the road and refusing to get out of the way, leaving behind a large wail and exclamation, and rushing straight towards Kolenburg with the billowing dust.

The guards standing on the walls had long been alarmed by this commotion. They noticed the unusual car. Soon a dozen soldiers riding lizard-driving rode out of the White Gate, trying to stop Easter's vehicle.

But they had miscalculated the speed of their target, and before they could get closer, Esther had redirected and followed the road built around Kolenburg, bypassing the red and purple gates, and rushing towards a blue gate at great speed.

Seeing that it was impossible to catch up with the express car, the little officer who led the team grabbed the keel horn on his waist and whined.

Suddenly, everyone heard a flurry of trumpets in response to the officer from all over the walls of Kolunburg.

The sentry stationed at the blue gate heard the sound of the horn and immediately blew his horn. The soldiers on duty under the city walls immediately moved out a row of repulsive horses under the command of the officers, and the wide gate of the city was tightly blocked.

The sound of a horn indicates that something unusual has happened. But it's not high enough to ring the alarm bells and close the city gates.

The soldiers remembered what had happened the last time the horn was blown.

It was a country nobleman with two neighboring territories and a grudge, who met unexpectedly on the way from Colombo to Colomburg to attend a royal banquet.

The juniors of the two families then spoke disrespectfully to each other, leading to a final scuffle. The two families fought from the city to the walls of Kronburg, battling each other with blood, and several unfortunate servants lost their lives. The cavalry of both sides and even the rude use of six-meter-long spears to stab each other's carriages, leaving the rest of the guests on the road dumbfounded.

Seeing that a bloody battle would continue in Kolunburg, the guards hurriedly blew their horns, blocked the city gates, sent out riders, and disarmed both sides.

After hearing about this, His Majesty the King was angry and deprived the two nobles of their titles almost at the same time. But in the end, at the intercession of the other nobles, only a small number of seals and a large number of fines were made. From that day onwards, however, a new decree had to be enacted, with the approval of all the nobles, that the nobles were not allowed to be accompanied by cavalry when they came to Cologneburg for a banquet.

In this way, the nobles only have the men on the carts, and even if they use several carts at the same time, there will be no recurrence of the dreaded cavalry hedge.

However, after learning about today's situation, the officers speculated that the next decree must be to prohibit cars from driving at extremely high speeds on the road from Colombo to Colomburg.
