Chapter 114: The City That Never Sleeps
On the coast of the circle, in a hotel in a small town. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This small hotel has been fully booked, and William rushed here and finally met Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess.
Indeed, as the guards of his lord's mansion said, the team of the four princesses seems to have been attacked by demonic beasts, and many people in the team are injured.
For those with minor injuries, a layer of cloth is bandaged on the wound to stop bleeding; for those with serious injuries, they are wrapped up and down in the shape of a dumpling, and under the careful care of their companions, they are fed with water and food, and they scream in pain.
The halls of the hotel were crowded with wounded people. As soon as everyone saw William coming, a middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and asked, "Viscount William?"
William nodded, a look of confusion on his face.
When the man saw it, he smiled kindly, but unexpectedly he was injured, and he grinned in pain: "Hello Viscount William, I am the deputy commander of the Imperial Capital Guard, responsible for protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess along the road." Her Royal Highness the Princess is on the second floor, please come with me. ”
With that, the man turned and went upstairs.
William hurried to follow.
On the second floor of the hotel, in a quiet small room, William met Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, who was resting on the bed.
Perhaps she was overly frightened, causing her face to be a little pale, and a trace of sweat on her forehead.
William thought he understood.
A princess who lives in the palace all day must have been frightened when she suddenly encountered an attack by a demonic beast.
You must know that Warcraft is not an ordinary beast, not only is its combat power stronger than that of beasts such as lions and leopards, but it also has a more fierce temperament.
William didn't think much about it, walked to the side of the bed, glanced at the weak Fourth Princess, showed a worried look on his face, reached out to touch her forehead, and checked her temperature.
Fortunately, there was no high fever, and William was relieved.
"Don't worry, teacher, I'm fine. ”
Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess smiled sweetly and narrowed her eyes comfortably.
William smiled bitterly, "You should have informed me before you came, and I could pick you up." Haiman Province is not Canaan Province, there are demonic beasts everywhere here, which is very dangerous. I've been sending people to clean it up for months, but I haven't cleaned it up. ”
After a pause, William continued: "I have already asked people to arrange boats. Can you get up and walk now? If you can, we'll go back to Watertown tonight. A few days ago, the government happened to invite a few doctors, and let them help you take a look at the soldiers who were injured. ”
The fourth princess nodded lightly and agreed, "I'm fine, teacher." ”
......
Half an hour later.
Leaving the lively town, William, His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, and a group of wounded patients took more than a dozen small boats and drove towards the center of the Yuanxin Sea.
At this time, the sun is setting, and the sky is completely dark.
On the surface of the Yuanxin Sea, there are still many ships coming and going between the two places. On each boat, there is a windproof oil lamp, which at first glance looks like a multitude of fireflies, which is very beautiful.
The four princesses were in the same boat as William.
Curiously looking at everything around her, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess looked at the water city quietly creeping in the dark night ahead, listening to the improvisations of the bards in her ears, and looked full of interest.
A slight cold blew in the night, and ripples on the sea surface, a little cold.
William completely regarded the fourth princess as a little girl. The magic ring on his hand flashed, and the snow-white wolf king's robe was taken out and covered on the body of the fourth princess: "Do you think this water city in front of you is beautiful?"
When the fourth princess heard this, she didn't think about it, so she nodded directly, "Although it's night, I can't see the appearance of Yuanxin City clearly." But the city must be beautiful! Because this is the teacher's masterpiece. ”
For the appreciation of the fourth princess, a trace of embarrassment flashed on William's face, but he was extremely useful in his heart, and said with a smile: "You look carefully in the direction of Shuicheng, don't blink!"
The fourth princess was slightly stunned and did as she said.
William silently counted the time in his heart.
One second...... Two seconds...... Three-second ......
In the seventeenth second, that is, around eight o'clock in the evening, suddenly, the center of the circle city was transformed!
A pale blue light rose from the water city.
Bright as day.
Although the light is bright, it illuminates the waters of the central sea clearly, and even reflects the shadow of the water castle on it.
But the light is not harsh. On the contrary, even somewhat subdued.
It's like a blue crystal city with a giant towering tree.
On the surface of the sea, many people who had just arrived here cried out in surprise at this scene, but some people who had lived here for a long time had a knowing smile on their faces.
The fourth princess was also shocked by the sudden scene, and her little face was full of surprise.
"Every night, the four magic arrays in the city will work on time, just like lighting magic. ”
William looked at the surprised appearance of the fourth princess, and said with a smile: "Yuanxin City is a water city, and it is also a city that never sleeps. Here, there is no night. I like the quiet and peaceful nightlife here more than the hustle and bustle of the day. ”
When the fourth princess heard this, her little face showed a hint of yearning.
William glanced at her and said with a smile: "When you rest for a few days and recuperate, I will take you around for a tour!"
"Good!"
The fourth princess smiled sweetly and agreed.
Ten minutes passed.
Sailors who are familiar with the terrain and have rich experience in driving ships control the ships and sail into the center of the city with ease.
Shuttling through the large and small water alleys, with the strange buildings on both sides, the green willows hanging down from the towering trees, the high arch bridges, and the streets where people come and go, the group finally arrived at the lord's palace in the center of the city.
William's Lord's Mansion was built in a very magnificent manner, although it looked a little weird, but it was full of ancient Chinese construction style.
Triangle roofs, boxy shapes, high eaves, masonry and tiles...... Not to mention anything else, just the two tall and mighty stone lions sitting cross-legged at the door are full of unique atmosphere.
It's a brand new kind of architecture.
Anyone who saw it, although he felt strange in his heart, couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Like, that's how it should be.
As the ship docked, William, the fourth princess, the deputy commander of the Guards and others climbed the stone stairs in front of them, and the four princesses looked at the two strings of red and bright things hanging in front of the gate, and sneered, "Teacher, this is called a lantern, right?"
"How do you know?" said William, with some surprise.
"Teacher, you forgot? You depicted lanterns in your work. The fourth princess smiled.
When William heard this, he smiled.
When he led the people into the lord's palace, he asked Crean to find a few doctors to re-examine the wounded of the soldiers, and deal with the treatment.
After a sumptuous dinner and arranging everyone's accommodation, William sent the four princesses to an elegant courtyard, and finally withdrew.
He came to his study, drank the coffee that Xiao Tang had made for him, did some official business, read the book for a while, and then returned to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, the light is a little dim. William snapped his fingers, and the lighting magic array in the room suddenly activated, and a soft light on the roof suddenly shone down.
However, when William saw a woman sitting on his bed, he was taken aback!
"You, why are you here?" said William, with a look of astonishment.
