Chapter Thirty-Eight: Senna

DeLong stood at the top and looked up to the sky, with two glasses made of ink crystals in front of his eyes. Without these glasses, those dazzling golden lights would not be able to see anything clearly, let alone see the trace of the "source of life". Finding the "source of life" is the task of him, Hela and the village, and it is also the task given by the god of harvest, and it is also the reason for their existence. In the human world, they are all farmers who believe in the harvest god Muton, because they are pious enough, they are led to the divine realm by the harvest god and assigned to collect the "fountain of life" here. In this world of eternal day, Delon doesn't know how much time has passed. All he remembered was that the eternal "Gate of Truth" in the sky would shoot out a large amount of golden light at fixed intervals. He has experienced eruptions like this more than a hundred times.

When Delong lived, he thought that he had arrived in the divine realm. There are countless beautiful women and food for you to enjoy. But now I know that I can only look at the sky day after day, and what is the use of such a boring day as eternal life. Thinking of this, Delon couldn't help but curse the priest who had fooled him into the Harvest God Cult.

Suddenly, a little bit of golden light in the sky was particularly noticeable. Based on years of experience, DeLong knew that that little bit of golden light must be the "source of life".

Immediately picked up the horn and put it aside, and whined. Remind those below to notice that the "fountain of life" has fallen. And according to the unique tone, the approximate landing point is indicated. That bit of golden light didn't seem far away, but it actually took at least a few minutes to fall to the ground. That's enough time for the villagers below to feel settled.

Urpov held a cone-shaped tray specially made for the "Fountain of Life" and looked at the golden point of light in the sky that was getting closer and closer. I couldn't help but think excitedly that after receiving this "source of life", I had already made up ten drops. Ten drops can be exchanged for going into the city to rest for a while. The thought of the delicious food and the delicate women in the city makes my heart restless.

In the divine realm, you don't need to eat to live. It's just that all the "fountains of life" collected for the gods are all coming up by mortals. In their near-eternal lives, to make them work mechanically is worse than killing these people who will not die as long as their souls are immortal. So the gods set up cities that were modeled after the human world, full of entertainment facilities. As long as these workers collect a certain amount of "life fountains", they can be exchanged for a period of free enjoyment in these established cities. It is also a means of motivating these people to work hard.

Urpov reached the landing point, lifted the tray, and prepared to catch the "fountain of life", he was already excited to see the delicacies and beauties beckoning to him.

Suddenly, a black shadow in the sky crossed a graceful arc, accurately intersected with the "Fountain of Life", and landed steadily on the top of a tree not far away.

Urpov almost fainted, and he could almost predict that it would not be the good food and the beautiful women that would greet him, but the thick, bloodstained whip of the village chief.

On a grassy meadow, golden light gently scatters, nourishing this emerald green meadow. Surrounded by soft, ankle-length green grass, a girl dressed in white silk with a graceful figure, long hair shining with white and golden light, waist-length, and skin as white as snow.

The girl has beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, jade cheeks and cherry lips, beautiful as spring plums blooming, and her god is like autumn flowers. There is a kind of heroic spirit in the beauty, the eyes are shining, and the moon shines on the cold river. Under the reflection of golden light, the cream-like skin is almost transparent, and it looks even more elegant and vulgar, like an empty valley orchid.

The only pity is that the left arm that should be exposed is empty. Only the right arm opened its green jade fingers, and the creamy skin gently supported a little golden liquid "Source of Life".

Sena Krotto's golden eyes stared at the golden liquid that radiated vitality. It wasn't long ago that she had just woken up from a deep pool full of water, and she looked at this world full of golden light, both familiar and strange. She seemed to be familiar with the surrounding qiē, but she had forgotten when she had been here. She knew her name, but she didn't understand how it came from or why it was called that. At the same time, she understood that the thing in the sky that emitted eternal golden light was the "Gate of Truth", and the liquid in her hand was the "Source of Life", and she was also familiar with some rules of this divine realm, but she didn't know why she knew it. It's like a person who has lost his memory and just knows, but doesn't understand why he knows this. At the same time, I vaguely felt as if I was missing something, not the left arm on my body. It's in the soul, as if there is less than what should have been, and something else has come out.

As soon as she woke up, she felt that her body was still lacking in energy. It's like being hungry. She didn't go looking for food, but could directly feel the golden liquid born from those golden light seas in the air, and her intuition told her that these golden liquids could solve the problem of lack of energy. She didn't understand why she could feel when the golden liquid was coming in and falling, it was just an instinct, an instinct.

It's just that the place where these golden liquids are produced is extremely widespread, and now the drop in his hand is the closest to him.

The green onion jade fingers are gently closed, and the "source of life" penetrates into the coagulated skin. A strong sense of satisfaction suddenly caused Senna to moan in comfort. It's like a desert traveler who drinks a sip of sweet spring water when he is dying of thirst.

Sena visibly felt a lack of energy in her body, and added a little energy to it. But this energy is obviously not enough, and she needs more "life sources".

By this time, she already felt that a "fountain of life" was about to emerge not far from here.

At that moment, between the jade bones and ice muscles and Qianqian's slender feet, the graceful figure disappeared into the reckless woods......

Two months later, on the wide, straight avenue of the Saatchi Empire. Mixed with the crowd was a broken carriage. The carriage was not marked in any way. Looking at the dust on the carriage and the flying dust on the emperor's body, it is estimated that he has traveled a long distance.

There was a young man with chestnut hair and a fairly delicate face in the carriage.

Horn looked out a few kilometers to Helki, the capital of the Thatchi Empire. The Hull base is located on the Hillland Plateau. There are basically no major rivers on the Hillland Plateau, only a few lakes. The nearest water source to Helki is also about ten kilometers away, and it is inconceivable for a city with a large population to build a city next to a water source without choosing a location. You must know that other imperial principalities in the Cessers Continent choose to build cities where there is water, on the one hand, it can be convenient to use water, and on the other hand, it can divert water and dig a canal as a moat. But Herki went completely the other way around. There are no barriers around the perimeter, and the terrain is not high. The city was built entirely on flat ground.

Moreover, the walls of Herki are not very high, compared to the majestic and unusually strong walls of Belgrade that Horn has seen. The walls of Herki can be described as a fence. And this fence is not so strong.

This also has to do with the folk customs of the Saatchi Empire, the Saatchi people are fierce and aggressive, and for them, the best defense is to attack. Majestic and tall walls like Belgrade are simply a symbol of cowardice.

The founding emperor of the Thatch Empire famously said, "If our sword cannot defeat the enemy, then the tall and strong walls are like paper, and they will be broken with a single stab." ”

The layout of the city on the edge of Helkiri is also very different from that of Belgrade. The wide streets could accommodate at least fifteen horse-drawn carriages marching side by side. None of the buildings on the periphery are more than three stories tall, and the buildings are crisscrossed by orderly avenues that divide them into lattice-like neighborhood clusters. Every gathering point is in a circle, and there are some functional areas inside, basically residential areas, and there are some similar markets, entertainment, training grounds, arenas and so on. These buildings are mainly made of wood, and the Saatchi style is continued on these buildings. Most of them are made of logs, which are processed and polished, painted, and slightly retouched, and the houses are built one after another in the same shape. These houses are basically the same, and it's confusing to get lost if you're not familiar with the terrain. This arrangement was entirely designed for cavalry operations in war. Low buildings are not easy to obscure the view and make it easy to observe the battle situation, wide streets are suitable for cavalry charging and retreating, and buildings with the same style can easily confuse the enemy, making it difficult for them to gather and achieve the effect of dispersing local forces.

This also reflects the Saatchi style of fighting, even in the capital, they do not want to defend it. It is no wonder that the Saatchi Empire has been weakened for a long time, and it has never been destroyed.

After Horn paid the entrance tax, he casually fabricated a pseudonym -- Horn Reinhardt. Avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Although Helki is quite far from the Sunderland Empire. But the empire will plant spies for each other, and it is difficult to ensure that there are eyes and ears of Duke Haig.

After Horn entered the city, he inquired. Found a jewelry store. Falsely claiming that he was short of money and needed to exchange jewelry for money. In any place, the rise and fall of the aristocracy is as normal as eating. There were some down-and-out aristocrats who lacked the means to do business and had to sell their ancestral jewels to make ends meet.

The jewelry industry doesn't care, as long as the jewelry is genuine, they will accept even the stolen goods. As long as there is a profit in business, it is normal to do some shady things.

At that moment, an old man in his fifties came to the jewelry store. Picking up a clear lens, he took a closer look at the jewels from Mkirag. After a long time, he nodded. The person in charge of the transaction said that the jewelry was genuine. After bargaining with Horn, the trader gave Horn 3,000 gold coins.

Horn calculated, and based on experience, the jewels were worth about three thousand five hundred gold coins. The jewel shop lowered five hundred gold coins at once. But he knew that he was not familiar with his life, and it was estimated that he was looking for something else. He can still accept this price reduction. Trade on the spot now. During this time, the jewelry store also asked Horn to write a deed with the quantity and value on it, and asked Horn to sign it. This is the jewelry store is afraid that some people will cheat, and it will be good to confront it when the time comes.
