Chapter 336: Dragon City
In the northernmost part of the Magic Continent, the narrow mountains near the Wall of Desperation are the territory of mankind, and here, the mountains are occupied from west to east by the five holy courtyards of spring, earth, fire, blue, and wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
To the south of the jurisdiction of the Five Great Sacred Courtyards is the more complex terrain of the Demonic Beast Mountains. As the name suggests, there are a thousand strange monsters living here.
There is a clear boundary between the north and south of the Demonic Beasts Mountains, and there are a large number of low-level Demonic Beasts living in the north of this boundary, which is the area for the students of the Five Great Holy Academies to test and hunt demons. Donner entered the Monster Mountains twice, but only penetrated into this area.
To the south of the boundary, the terrain suddenly rises, and the demonic beasts that haunt here are even more ferocious, and only the Blue Bird Mage and above have the ability to enter and exit this area.
And the boundary that separates the north and south of the Demon Beast Mountains is the Sacred Courtyard Guards stationed here all year round. The existence of the guards is to prevent the southern demonic beasts from going north and invading the human gathering place, and secondly, it also plays a role in detecting the beast tide.
The Templar Guards change their guard once every thirty years, and it is conceivable that the closer the beast tide gets, the more dangerous the guards' activities become.
Therefore, the first and second rounds of defense after the beast tide will be very calm, but wait until the third round of defense, because the probability of the beast tide coming is getting bigger and bigger, and the situation of the guards will become more and more dangerous.
There has been a beast tide in history that took a hundred and sixty years to arrive, and that time, the guards of the fifth round of defense did not recruit all the manpower at all, and the guards of the Blue Sacred Courtyard retreated halfway, which directly caused the result of the total annihilation of the guards of the adjacent Fire Sacred Academy, that is, from that time, there was a saying that water and fire were incompatible.
However, since the emergence of Mount Chiga more than 4,000 years ago, the guards have not been so passive.
The reason is very simple, the Qiga Mountain occupies the highest peak south of the Demon Beast Mountains, and looking south from here, you can grasp the information of the beast tide at the first time, and then use the sound transmission array to notify the major holy courtyards to gather people and prepare to meet the beast tide.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this reason that the Chiga Mountain has won the respect of the major holy courts, so that it can finally compete with the Holy See.
In fact, it was not that the Five Great Sacred Courtyards had not considered establishing a defense zone or watch station south of the Demon Beast Mountains, but this effort had never succeeded until the Chiga Mountains gained a foothold here.
Because the environment here is so harsh.
Although the magic element is more abundant than the mountains where the Holy Courtyard is located, due to the inexhaustible and ubiquitous ferocious magical beasts, there is almost no space for low-level mages to live here, so food and water sources and all living supplies have become a problem.
In the first one or two thousand years that the Chiga Mountains came here, even high-level mages had to live a life of drinking blood, if it weren't for the fact that those Hailian people were all frustrated people of the Five Great Holy Courtyards, how could they have persevered.
However, after thousands of years in business, especially under Master Sandru, the Chiga Mountain is not at all what it used to be.
The main peak, which is high in the clouds and covered with snow all year round, is guarded by three slightly lower peaks, and there is also a cable car between the four peaks.
At the foot of the mountain, the original rugged and complex mountain terrain has been gradually leveled in the past thousand years, forming a human city inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people, imitating the appearance of St. Petersburg around the city, and the city walls have also been built.
With the current size of this city and the density of the magic array on the city wall, it is impossible to completely withstand the attack of the beast tide, but for the Chiga Mountain, it is not a big problem.
Once the tide arrives, the lookout station above the snow line can detect it at least a day in advance, and then transfer the city's inhabitants and most of the daily necessities to the three auxiliary peaks through a ropeway built along the mountain. Then wait until the beast tide has passed, and then put them down and rebuild their homes on the ruins that have been ravaged by the beast tide.
Given enough time, one day it will be built into a great city as impregnable as St. Petersburg.
If anyone doubts this, then on a clear and cloudless day, if you look up at the mouth of the cave near the snow line on the main peak, the daunting dragon, all doubts will be dispelled.
That's right, the dragon was Master Sandru's pet. It was precisely because of the existence of this demon pet that no demonic beast dared to approach within a radius of dozens of miles.
It is precisely because of the existence of this dragon that this city at the foot of the Chiga Mountain is also known as the City of Dragons.
It is said that the ordinary people who first migrated to the city of dragons had difficulty sleeping at night at the thought of having such a dragon hovering overhead. And when the dragon came to the mood and hovered over the city and roared, many people were scared to the point of.
Now, more than a thousand years later, the inhabitants of this place have changed generations, and those born in Dragon City will only wait to see what they do when outsiders arrive.
This dragon has become the totem of the city and the confidence of people to build their homes here.
No one seemed to have imagined what the Dragon City would be like if there was no dragon one day.
......
With the current status of the Chiga Mountain, the buildings on the mountain seem somewhat shabby. There is no way to do this, the Five Great Holy Courtyards have a history of tens of thousands of years, and the manpower and material resources are much more abundant than those of the Chiga Mountain.
It is precisely because of the lack of material resources in the early days of its establishment that most of the buildings in the Chiga Mountain were built with local materials and dark gray lapsard stone mined on the mountain.
Only on the back of the Dragon's Cave, a palace protruding slightly from the mountain, was built of white stone brought from elsewhere.
Every resident of Dragon City knows that this is where Master Sandru lives, the Chiga Palace.
Today, outside the Chiga Palace, a giant fiery red eagle is parked. Probably sensing the presence of the dragon on the back of the mountain, the eagle kept its head buried under its wings, occasionally showing it out and looking around, and then burrowing back again.
On the terrace facing the south in the Chiga Palace, Master Sandru was sitting on the only stone chair, and the new abbot of the Sacred of Fire, Rosenlega, stood beside him.
This dragon lord, a legendary mage whose every move can affect the entire magic continent, looks so old, and the wrinkled skin on his face seems to have completely lost moisture, dry as a crumbled white paper.
In addition to his hair and beard, which were white, even his eyes were gray due to the loss of pigment.
If he hadn't seen his descendants and knew that they were pure-blooded Helians, Rosenlega might have thought he was a Madim.
That's right, this was the first time Rosen had met Master Sandru himself, and this meeting also proved that the Chiga Mountains were supportive of the Lega family.
