Chapter 1: The City That Never Sleeps

The dark blue night sky was a mess of stars, and the night stars were trying to widen their eyes, trying to compete with the city below their noses, and they wanted to show the creatures below that only the eternal sparkle deserved to be called the guiding light of the night.

The thorn in the eyes of the stars is the city that never sleeps, and it is also another name for the imperial capital of Hiraniblah.

In the darkness of the night, her sparkle made even the eternal stars jealous and hesitant. Just because of its existence, it deprives the stars of a strong sense of presence in this night.

The main reason why the city of never sleeps shines endlessly is that the great alchemist Hagen discovered a translucent spar in a corner of the Dawn Mountains ten thousand years ago, and it was this spar that was discovered, replacing the steam energy of this era and becoming the mainstream of energy of the times.

In order to commemorate Hagen, later generations called the ore he found the Stone of the Gods - Orihagang!

It is precisely because of its advent that it has supplied an endless supply of energy to the city that never sleeps, so that those who live in the city never know what the color of the night is.

Even in their minds, there is no such thing as a day and night, and if it weren't for the occasional boring tilt, this group of people might have lost even the color of the sky in the depths of their memories. In the words of these inhabitants, the day is nothing more than a large, blazing stellar light bulb hanging from the azure sky, and at night there are small flashing lights scattered on the inky blue curtain.

Not far from the imperial capital, three large rivers meet at the gates of Hiraniblah, and after a brief pause in the prosperous port of Anatoly, they rush into the sea.

The abundant natural resources and convenient transportation, the dazzling spiritual life and the omnipotent alchemy technology make everyone in this city inevitably have an illusion, maybe life is just like this!

Of course, the above life is only for those who are above the ordinary bloodline, and for those below the ordinary bloodline, they can enjoy the free death train at any time in the eyes of others to enjoy the pleasure of hell in the eyes of others.

The highly developed alchemy and technology brought together the literature and art of the entire era, and the unique environment made the people of the empire flock to it. Even the land known as the Continent of Light, the capital of Atlantis, could not hide her sparkle.

Her enchanting figure attracts talents of all races in the mainland to gather here, and they are eager to stand out in this star-studded city that never sleeps, and walk towards the glory of life. Just as the alchemists of the mainland were intoxicated by the magic of Orehagang, the people who squeezed into the city of the night also yearned for its taste of power and profit.

In fact, there are only a few people in various industries who can realize their ambitions, and most of the others are just embellishing the shining halo of Hiraniblah, the city that never sleeps, with their own light.

And the majestic building standing behind the imperial capital, the Seven Feathered Serpent God - Narayana Lighthouse, runs through the entire imperial city, which is the glory of the entire era.

"When you see her, the imperial capital sleeps under her protection. ”

As for the bards, as long as they open their mouths to sing, they never cease to boast of their grandeur.

The statue of Nalayara, which is more than 999 meters high, was built after a lot of personnel and materials were spent a lot of time and a full hundred years since the founding of the empire.

Since then, she has never stopped her dazzling divine light, and in the hearts of the people of the Imperial Capital, she is the only holy object that can transcend the endless darkness, she is like a sharp sword that tears through the thick darkness before dawn.

"There should be about six waiting hours to go, but fortunately, I have already seen the Goddess Lighthouse. ”

"Could it be that the one suspended in mid-air is the lighthouse of the goddess in your mouth?" Mo Chen asked suspiciously, pointing to the glowing object suspended in mid-air in the distance.

The old man did not answer him, but only shook the whip in his hand with a whirring sound.

The horses, which had been trotting for more than a month, finally woke up, and as they approached the finish line, they began to show their true colors: they picked up their four bowl-sized hooves and ran desperately on the God's Passage.

Seeing that the old man didn't have the intention to continue to talk about it, Mo Chen didn't speak, moved his body, and prepared to lie down and think about life, after all, there was still so much time for six waiting hours.

The slightest discord was the bad old man who was sitting in the carriage with him, and at the moment he was whipping the whip in his hand through the silent field.

Because of the old man's previous words, Mo Chen was very moved for a while, especially in his deep thoughts after eating, he fell asleep with the old man's bull fork in his arms......

It wasn't until the sound of the old man throwing the horsewhip again woke him up that Mo Chen rubbed his dry eyes, forced his sluggish spirit, and looked around.

"What's that? Narayala Lighthouse?"

Mo Chen stared at the soft light in front of him, and it emitted a dazzling light that made him close his eyes, and it took a long time to get used to it.

"Yes, she is the symbol of the Empire, the Narayana Lighthouse!"

"It's a monster with seven snake heads...... No, goddess!"

I felt a cold and piercing gaze from behind, and I didn't have to look back to know that it was Margaret's cannibalistic gaze. Therefore, Mo Chen loudly and sincerely corrected his mistake, trying not to let the murderous gaze stay too much on the back of his head.

"Silly boy, you've only walked half the way, and there are still three hours to wait, so you can continue to sleep. ”

The old man's kind words made Mo Chen almost moved to tears and snot, and he was about to say words of gratitude to the old man, but he heard the old guy say: "Because you are not a running boar after all, I can't expect a domestic pig who only knows how to eat and sleep to become the former, although you are also a pig." ”

“......”

The time of the three waiting hours passed imperceptibly, and Mo Chen's second sleep was woken up by the sound of people not far from the carriage.

When he opened his sleepy and hazy eyes, the next moment he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Is this the Narayana Lighthouse that I saw soon?

Looking up at the building towering into the air, the strong visual impact brings a shock from the soul.

is completely different from the relief image on the wall of the carriage, if she was still a monster before, Mo Chen can now pump her own mouth.

The statue gave Mo Chen a very simple feeling, nothing more than carving a few concave and convex outlines on the stone at random, and then clapping his hands and finishing. Those things look similar to people, and without the aesthetic ability of the artist, ordinary people cannot appreciate that alternative beauty.

But the huge statue in front of her, no, it should be said that the statue of a living person is so ethereal and beautiful, and in Mo Chen's existing memory, only her own master Natalia can compare with her appearance.

Natalia's beauty gives people a cold temperament that makes people unable to look directly and approach, noble with a cold charm that rejects people thousands of miles away.

And the beauty of the woman in front of her is a look of holiness and calmness, a pair of white wings behind her are slightly closed, her eyes are slightly closed, her hands are folded on her chest, and she prays reverently.

Faintly, Mo Chen even heard a burst of holy religious chants wafting out of her slightly open mouth.

"I beg the gods to listen

I'm not trying to steal the gods' powers

Life in the world is unique

......

Even though I know that there is good and evil in the world

I would like to give hope to those who ask for forgiveness

......“

The voice was mournful and beautiful, and as the voice continued to echo in his mind, Mo Chen's heart rolled in a monstrous wave.

This is not a lighthouse, she must have a vitality that ordinary people can't reach!Otherwise, why could he hear this chant!?

Just as he was about to ask the old man beside him, after seeing the old man's ugly appearance of being distraught, Mo Chen pursed his lips and swallowed the words that were about to reach his mouth.

After cleaning up her mood for a while, Mo Chen was looking at this huge creature, the body of the beautiful and peerless woman in front of her was very different from that of humans, her upper body was a human body, and the lower body was a few circles of thick and not bloated snake body, seven tails quietly grew out at the tail of her snake body, this mixed body shape gave people a strong visual impact!

The snake's tails each passed through Hiranibra and became seven vast avenues. These seven paths are what outsiders call the choice of blood, and they are also the only way to the imperial capital.

The three roads in the middle can only be walked by top bloodlines. Their names are King, Queen, Nothingness.

The King and the Queen are both of the same top-level blood, but they are divided into two types: male and female.

The middle one, called Viod, is the exclusive passage of the Descendants of God, and people on other paths can only look at it. Those who try to rebel against the choice of bloodline and cross the line can die on the road, becoming a sacrifice for the bloodline road.

"Old man, are you sure that the person in front of me is the creature on the wall of our carriage?" The lighthouse gave Mo Chen the feeling that the next moment she would open those eyes with slightly trembling eyelashes, he couldn't recognize them as a building, this was clearly a flesh-and-blood human, although the human was a little huge, and also had the lower body of a snake.

"Man, man with seven snake tails, have you seen it?" the old man slowed down the speed of the carriage until it was faster than a normal person walking, so that the boy could enjoy the atmosphere on the outskirts of the city that never sleeps.

Of course, this is what Natalia meant, and he has no right to change the speed of the carriage without permission.

"I haven't seen it before, but I've seen it today. Is this what you said last night about the Narayana Lighthouse?" Mo Chen said vaguely, still still not recovering from the shock of the lighthouse.

"Sure enough, I was sleepy. Boy, it's still night, and the time you said from last night to now has only been about six hours. ”

"It's still night, you're confused, it's night with the sun shining and the sun in the sky. ”

“......”

Margaret lifted the curtain to watch the magic and grandeur of the imperial capital, and when she heard Mo Chen say this, she was immediately happy.

"Do you think that the night should be dark, with the moonlight hanging obliquely in the sky, and the time when the stars are scattered and scattered?"

"Isn't it?" Mo Chen asked, rubbing his head. Who hasn't seen the night, shouldn't the night be like this?

"It's normal for your hometown of Yoria Town to look like this, but this is the imperial capital!" These days, Mochen has been asked by Margaret for everything except for the secret of Black Steel, a small slave, and his eyebrows are full of teasing smiles.

"What about the Imperial Capital!?Is it possible to change the laws of nature?" Mo Chen pursed his lips and said with disdain, did he really think that the Imperial Capital could violate the laws of nature.

"Because she is the imperial capital!, she can change this law, so that the night will never be able to reach here, it is the last paradise where the light waits!" Natalia's voice came from inside the carriage, and the cold voice was a little inexplicable to Mo Chen, and he couldn't understand what the tone meant.

But the old man knew that it was Natalia's words from the heart, and no one could shake the pious fanaticism!

Sarente sighed imperceptibly, it seemed that most of the people of this era had lost themselves in some baseless arrogant ideas.

In fact, changing the natural laws of day and night is just a human self-fantasy!

Human beings can only change their perceptions, but they can never erase the traces of the laws of nature, and the city that never sleeps is just a synonym for the self-praise of a group of people who are obsessed with alchemy and scientific creation.

Anyone or anything that tries to tamper with the rules is annihilated by the rules, and so is she, the Narayana Lighthouse!

No, even Narayana herself would have been annihilated in the torrent of time if she hadn't escaped back to the Gate of Heaven!
