Lance and the others slowly ascended the spiral stone staircase of the tower to the Eagle's Nest Tower. Across the stone staircase www.biquge.info Lance could hear the increasingly distinct sounds of giant birds flapping their wings and humans chatting.

When Lance and the others appeared on the top floor of the Eagle's Nest Tower, there was silence all around. Lance saw seven or eight giant eagles in the eagle's nest turn their heads to look at him. It seems that this is the four-clawed eagle.

Their bodies are uniformly brown feathers, but the feathers on their heads are white. The huge yellow beak of the bird was like an iron hook, and the sharp talons were like a blade, so that Lance could feel the terrifying attack power they were hiding from a distance.

A giant eagle stood up, understood its wings, walked up to Lance and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess Eve, why are you here?"

Lance looked at the four-clawed eagle in front of him in surprise: "I'll go! The eagle can still talk!"

The four-clawed eagle glanced at Lance and said with a hint of displeasure, "Who is this unruly boy and this baby dragon?"

Eve hastened to explain: "Naris, my friend, don't be angry. This is my friend and my new Demon Translator. I have come here to give me a ride and take me to Sekeo, where I will meet Joseph. ”

The four-clawed eagle named Naris nodded and said, "You are Her Royal Highness the Princess, so there is naturally no problem with this. But what are you doing in Sekeo? and a new magic translator, Hogan?"

Eve shrugged and said, "Didn't he send my sister to Gardestaire for Prince Lorraine's coming-of-age ceremony? ”

"I see. ”

The four-clawed eagle Nariss summoned a fellow four-clawed eagle named Giza. They gazed at the saddles placed beside them, and then began to chant incantations. Suddenly, a white flame burst out of their eagle's eye.

Then the saddle floated over and automatically fastened to their waists.

When they had saddled themselves, the two four-clawed eagles bowed down and said, "All right, come up." Let's go.

Lance walked over to the four-clawed eagle named Giza and stepped on the eagle's back in stirrups. In fact, Lance was looking forward to seeing what was so special on the back of the four-clawed giant eagle. But I found that it was no different from riding a horse.

The four-clawed eagle Giza asked in a sunny and excited tone, "Human boy, are you a flying creature for the first time?"

"Yes. Lance nodded.

Although Lance was looking forward to it, the excitement level was not at all comparable to the white dragon princess Loxani lying on Lance's back.

Roxani looked around excitedly and curiously, and shouted happily, "It's the first time I've been carried by someone else. I'm looking forward to it!"

The corners of the four-clawed giant eagle Giza's mouth rose slightly, and he shouted: "Then hold on to the saddle, we are leaving!"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the four-clawed giant eagle named Giza, which was carrying Lance, actually began to run. The tight pace is like a dense drum beat, and the violent shaking is like a galloping horse. Lance had to fight hard to get hold of the wobbly saddle.

The four-clawed eagle Giza made an accelerated dash towards the take-off pad at the top of the tower. Seeing that the cliff of the tower was getting closer and closer, they were about to fall. Suddenly, Lance heard a "whoosh" sound of wings spreading, and the powerful wings spreading force directly pushed all the air beside the four-clawed giant eagle to both sides, forming a huge wave of air on its wings.

For a moment, the dust around the platform and the fallen feathers were swept away. The thick dust fascinated the eyes of several four-clawed eagles lying on the sidelines, and complained:

"This kid Giza has to pretend to be a force in front of new passengers every time. It's annoying. ”

"That's right, this pile of dust, I'm going to have to clean up the feathers for another night tonight. ”

But at this time, the four-clawed giant eagle Giza could not hear these complaints. Because he had already taken Lance and Loxani to the sky.

A fierce wind blew in his face and struck Lance in the face. The air flowed like a rushing stream, making it almost impossible for Lance to breathe, let alone open his eyes.

The four-clawed eagle Giza turned his head and shouted, but the howling of the strong wind made Lance barely hear his prompt: "Boy, keep your head down and breathe well!"

Lance climbed down and hid behind the head of the four-clawed eagle Giza, where the suffocating feeling was a little better. Lance slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the view below them completely shocked Reims.

They now fly in the sky above the city of Idris. Below them, Idiris resembles a giant chessboard full of buildings and chess pieces. The streets of the city, which are like cobwebs, divide the majestic city into countless squares like cutting a cake, perfectly showing the geometric beauty of the design. The dense crowd is shuttling like ants.

The Cathedral of Idiris, which Lance had originally looked up from the ground, and the Castle of the Starlight, were all subjugated at his feet. And the twin church towers, which were originally more than 150 meters long, were also like looking up at their own Lance at that time, looking up and admiring the height of Lance.

At this moment, Lance finally knew why Starlight Castle was called that. Because when viewed from above, the layout of the walls and towers of Starlight Castle is a standard 12-pointed star.

And outside the city of Idiris, the golden river Little Clay and the river Clay are like gilded pliers, clamping the octagonal city of Idiris. The golden light reflected by the river shimmers like a glittering jewel.

On both sides of the city and the river, there are ribbons of dark green forests that divide the pale green lush farmland like waffles. The farmhouses of the villages are scattered across the fields like blueberries on waffles. Obscured by the clouds, the scenery below resembles a mottled pattern of cows, both light and dark. The same shape as the clouds in the sky.

The scenery beneath his feet moved slowly, but Lance knew they were now faster than any land vehicle in the world.

Feel the feeling of flying against the wind and flying over the sky. Lance felt as if everything in his mind had been emptied. He no longer had any worries, and at this moment, he only had a mind as vast as the sky and the scenery in front of him.

And the four-clawed eagle Giza is also like a tour guide, excitedly turning back from time to time to explain the scenery under his feet to Lance.

"Now we're flying over the Harlan Forest!"

At Giza's motion, Lance looked down. But all I could see was an endless dark green canopy, like a huge carpet of green wool, spread flat on the vast plain below. There is no trace of human civilization in sight. Only the occasional curling smoke rises in the woods and reaches into the sky.

"He is the second largest forest in Idiris, with an area of 8,000 square kilometers, and it is mainly inhabited by Harun centaurs, rabbit men, and a small number of forest goblins. But humans rarely enter this forest, as this is the territory of the centaur tribe. See the smoke? It must be the smoke of the Centaur tribe. ”

Lance asked curiously, "What about the relationship between the centaur tribe and humans?"

"What? It's too windy to hear, you say it again!"

Lance shouted at the four-clawed eagle Giza at the top of his voice, "What is the relationship between the centaur tribe and humans?"

"Relationship?" said Giza after a moment's thought:

Centaurs are a nomadic tribe that focuses on hunting and forest grazing. Deer are domesticated, and they only trade with humans on the border, and rarely go out of the forest. The Duke of Aceh also decreed that his subjects were not allowed to enter the Centaur territory without permission. If there is one conflict, it may be religion. Centaurs worship only Agote, one of the 12 gods, and serve Agote as a shaman. This made the bishops of the Orthodox Church of mankind very dissatisfied, and they would never allow heresies or cults to appear in the territory ruled by humans. Before the accession to the throne of the Duke of Aceh, the "penitent", Idilis fought with them for hundreds of years. Until the accession to the throne of the Duke of Aceh, a policy of non-interference in the religious beliefs of the centaurs and their ways was adopted. This has been the result of nearly 30 years of peace and trade. ”

After two hours of rapid flight, the four-clawed eagle Giza suddenly slowed down and said, "We're going to land! Hold on! Don't let go." ”

Slowly, Lance began to drop in height. And the scenery under his feet became clearer, and Lance could see the border of the Harlan Forest in the distance. And not far from the border, a small town is gradually coming into view.

Although the walls of this town are barely recognizable from the sky. But the neat, neat rectangular borders still led Lance to surmise that this was a walled town.

The only thing Reims can identify now is a church with a single-pointed tower, and at the top of the tower, a metal bow and arrow symbol stands. This is not the same as the top sign of the Balance Tower in the church in the city of Idiris.

When the four-clawed eagle slowly descended on the grass outside the small town of Sekoo, Lance was completely less happy than he had been when he had been soaring above the sky.

Because everything in front of him, from his eyes to his nose, disappointed Lance to the extreme.

Scattered low-rise houses, muddy city streets, livestock defecating in the open, residents throwing garbage and sewage into the streets, and the stench of wafting feces and swill. Lance felt that even if he stayed here for an hour, his sense of smell would fail.

For the new place, Sekeo, Reims was completely disillusioned. This small border town was not at all as clean and tidy as the Menice or Idilis he had seen before, especially Menize. Veronica's pigsty is cleaner than here.

Originally, Reims thought that all the cities of Idiris were as clean as the small town of Ménice, after all, Ménice was a border town, and it was estimated that it was the lowest level. Now Lance realizes that this is not the case. Ménice seems to represent the highest level of urban sanitation in Idris.

Eve landed as well, and she seemed to be used to the stench. After instructing the two four-clawed eagles, Naris and Giza. And they flew away.

Lance covered his nose and looked at the giant eagle flying away and asked, "You're going to let them go back like this?"

"They don't go very far, they just blow the whistle when they are needed. Eve looked at Lance and Loxani, who were covering their noses, and asked with a smile, "Why do you two look like this?"

Lance complained, "It stinks too much! ”

Loxani nodded and said, "That's right! and Menice are completely a paradise and a hell." ”

"Menize? Let me tell you, 90% of the world's cities are the same as here. Not every town lord is a healer-knight who pays attention to hygiene and prevention. ”

Eve smiled and beckoned Lance to follow, "Let's go! Joseph was waiting for us. You still have work to do. ”
