Chapter Twenty-Eight: The City of Flames

April even sneered on the sidelines: "This wind of fire is a gift from the god of fire to us Hobrunsians. ”

"On a day when there is no light of day, the wind of fire brings warmth and vitality, and without the wind of fire, everyone would have frozen to death from the cold."

Cha Mo sniffed hard, and felt that the smell in the air was a little strange, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.

"It's a bit of a fire, well, this wind of fire is quite warm, April, your god of fire is quite generous."

April snorted, "Of course the Vulcan is generous, even a pagan like you can enjoy the gift of the Vulcan. ”

She was religious, and she had long been accustomed to tea, but at least after a few days of debate, Aprill had confirmed that they really had no connection with the Vulcan Church.

So their current hostility has successfully changed from heretics to heretics, which can be regarded as a lower notch.

"When you get to the 'Flame' City, you can shut up for us, we don't want more blood on our hands, unless you don't want to live anymore." Daniel walked up to April and said very seriously.

He was the most reticent person in the entire team, and the character he set up was also the most solid foundation in the team, and Apriler didn't dare to take his words as a deaf ear.

The inspection of the "Flame" city was very relaxed, and the six members of the "caravan" entered the city almost without hindrance.

At the foot of the city gate, they saw the relief station arranged by the "Vulcan Church", which provided two meals in the morning and evening for free, although it was only a simple batter, at least to ensure the survival of the people at the bottom.

Daniel walked over and looked around and said, "It should be the porridge made after the sweet potatoes are ground into noodles, and it smells quite good." ”

"I just don't know what the planting conditions and yields are, why don't we bring some back to Freya to try?"

Fran nodded and said, "We're sure we'll have to have a snack when it comes to collecting seeds and crops." ”

"Mamba said in the last online meeting that there are more and more people in the base, and the output of the 'greenhouse farm' is not yet ripe, and they can only eat and store grain, and we will try to solve this problem when we go back this time."

April looked at them with some confusion, after this group entered the "Flame" City, they would actually be busy for all kinds of food.

Hobruns's Vulcan Church, although the administrative rank and power are lower than that of the king, but the church has its own income, can hardly be dependent on the king, and its independence is very high.

Therefore, the Holy See basically has no worries about making a living, and since Aprile became a believer in the god of fire at the age of nine, he has basically not had any troubles in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Coupled with the strict precepts within the Holy See and the usual diet is very light, Aprilier has no pursuit of food.

Seeing that Daniel was so concerned about food, April was a little puzzled.

However, she remained silent very sensibly, Daniel's threat was not just words, and April, who had seen him dismantle the carriage with his bare hands, knew very well that she had no power to fight back after losing the holy book.

But Apriler wasn't just waiting to be killed, the flame emblem she kept in the palm of her hand was her last weapon.

After entering the "Flame" City, in addition to collecting information, there is another thing that everyone is more anxious about.

This "caraan" trip, in which the word "business" is indeed worthy of its name.

"Journey to the Underworld" and "Area 15" have not received any supplies from the outside world since they came out of the earth.

Everyone had a very urgent need to consume, and then Mamba followed the example of the personal welfare system when he was in the "fortress" city.

Everyone, from the core to the workers, and even the slaves, can make purchases within the amount of their personal account.

Freya from District 15 also sent over a list of items they were going to buy, and Catherine had to stuff her "subspace backpack" to the brim this time.

Once they had the list, they went on a shopping spree in the city of Flames.

The countless tokens accumulated in the underground world can finally be exchanged for the materials that everyone wants, and everyone has never felt this kind of spending money in their lives.

April, who followed them, was even more shocked at this time, she was not without a concept of money, the cardinal of the Vulcan Holy See, the basic salary for a week was thirty tokens, which was basically the income of an ordinary worker for a year.

However, seeing these people spending money like water, April began to wonder if they were using counterfeit money.

Even with Fran, a master bargainer, the tokens they spend on shopping are calculated in tens of thousands.

Seeing them frantically throwing out money that they couldn't earn in their lifetime, Aprilier was a little red-eyed, the gold-inlaid music box she wanted hadn't saved enough money yet.

After some binge buying, the items on the list are basically bought.

After walking around, everyone also had a basic understanding of the reason why there was a "flame" in the "flame" city.

The entire "Flame" city seems to have been built on top of an active volcano.

The liquid lava of the mountain pass flows down from the heights like a river.

The blazing lava brought terrible heat, and most of the buildings in the city were made of obsidian, and even then, the settlements were a short distance from the rivers of flames.

This is why the Vulcan Church said that you should not spy on the Vulcan up close.

Passing through the commercial district of the "Flame" city, there is the noble district and the papal quarter, and the royal palace, which represents royal power, is higher up.

The closer you are to the crater, the more noble your status is.

It's just that looking at the gray-yellow smoke that keeps coming out of the crater, Catherine, who has never dared to take off her mask, always feels that living there may be a relatively short life.

"You 'flame' city doesn't seem to be very suitable for living," Fran said to April, "and it seems that there is nothing special except that the temperature is relatively high, which can dispel the cold. ”

"When there is no daylight, the sky is always dark and the weather is cold. ”

"Only the favor of the god of fire warmed the 'flame' city and preserved a glimmer of life for mankind."

"It was here that the first human beings were born and multiplied here, until the god of fire stole the heavenly fire and lit up the heavenly light, and the human race had a turnaround."

Within the Vulcan Sect, Tianguang was actually interpreted as the power of the Vulcan God, which was really a bit over-interpreted, and the people who originally had an indifferent attitude towards the Vulcan Church are now beginning to be a little disgusted with it.
