Sinampei did not express any further doubts about Theresa's prophetic foresight. Because when he heard the word "master", Sinampei had almost understood why Theresa knew that she would be here, and sent someone to greet her—the title "master" is usually an honorific title for magicians.

According to Albert, Theresa must have gone to the magician with a lot of money.

Sinampei sighed a little helplessly, and before he knew it, he had silently accepted something beyond common sense like magic - after the meeting with De Les, his three views had long been reconstructed. The materialism and atheism that he once firmly believed in have no basis for people to rely on in this world - although Sinampei has not seen it, he has heard that there are some religious priests who can use magical spells to treat diseases and wounds.

The doubts in his mind had been completely calmed: "If a magician knew that he would be here, there would be nothing strange. ”

Sinan Pei has asked many people, including various nobles and commoners, and has also consulted many classics, and the descriptions in them have confirmed the mystery and strength of magicians - no one knows how much power magicians have, nor how many skills they have, and there seems to be no trace of their power that people can trace—there is no pattern, no understanding. Even the impression of ordinary people about them is only based on speculation.

Fortunately, both true magicians and priests who can heal others are very few in number, so small that there are only a few hundred people on the entire continent. Otherwise, Sinan Pei really can't imagine what the world will become.

A bunch of magic gods flew around in the sky, and meteorites smashed indiscriminately? Thinking of this kind of scene, Si Nanpei couldn't help but shudder. If that's the case, then the world is too dangerous!

After another half a day's journey, the team finally came to the outskirts of Pali, although Sinampei's eyes were not sharp, but he also saw the city wall looming on the horizon in the distance.

For a while, Sinan Pei was full of emotion, thinking back to the journey from Auvergne, it was even more difficult than the four Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures in the west, and if they were not careful, they almost lost their lives.

However, after looking up at the city wall up close, Sinampei felt that just by being able to see such a medieval city, this trip would not be a loss.

Kara once told Sinampei that the circumference of the city of Pali was about thirty kilometers, and Sinampei, who was accustomed to seeing industrial metropolises, did not think somuch at first, but when he saw this qiē with his own eyes, he completely rejected his previous naïve ideas.

In the face of such a wall, he only felt that he had seen the Great Wall, and was the scale of this city bigger than New York? Of course not, but this length was enough to make people marvel.

Thirty kilometers, if it is a square city, then each section of the city wall will be seven and a half kilometers long, and standing on flat ground, such a length is beyond the sight of human beings at any time. It's quite normal to have such an illusion. And the towering city wall, Sinampei can only see the top of it by leaning his neck.

Although he has seen many ancient cities in China, Sinan Pei still has a great interest in the city of Pali in front of him, because the two are completely different styles, compared to the majestic atmosphere of the ancient capital city of China, and the Pali in front of him is sharp, the city wall is not far apart, there will be a well-guarded tower, dense shooting holes, all the ballistas with good ammunition poking out, occasionally mixed with new bronze cannons, make people look daunting.

Although the layout of the city is not visible from the outside, just looking at the outcropping lookout, you can know that the defenses inside will only be tighter, and fighting street battles in such a city is simply a nightmare for the enemy.

In short, Pali at this time did not look at all what the capital of a country should be, but rather like an impregnable military fortress.

After carefully searching the knowledge in his mind, Sinan Pei was also relieved. After all, in both China and the West, medieval towns should still be dominated by political and military functions, and at the moment the germ of capitalism has not yet grown vigorously, and there are still very few commercial towns like Aliai Town. Besides, it is still a time of war, and if a city that can't even defend it, what qualifications does it have to be the capital of a country?

The guards in the tower saw the team led by Count Flesovis and rang the bell in the tower. The sound of a clear voice immediately spread all around, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate gradually rose with a dull creaking sound - even if there were no enemies around, Pali had completely cut off communication with the outside world, so you can imagine the danger of the shape. However, due to the cold winter, even if the entire city is opened, it will not be able to perform many economic functions.

The ditches dug outside the city were so deep that even if there was no water, they could be used as trenches, making it more difficult for local troops to attack the city. The crunch of the carriage walking on the wooden planks of the suspension bridge made Sinan Pei very worried, whether this seemingly old wooden suspension bridge would break in an instant because it could not bear the weight of the carriage - the curtain of the carriage looked at the deep river ditch outside, Si Nanpei did not think that he could die if he fell from such a high place.

Unlike most of the low-rise wooden buildings in ancient China, most of the high-rise buildings in Pali City are stone or earth, the streets are slightly narrow, and the width is not even, and there is also a drop in height, which makes people feel a little narrow and even depressing. Some buildings are even connected to attics by a guò flyover, so when you walk down the street, you can see other people's clothes drying and even water dripping onto your head.

The roof of the house was covered with a layer of dirt, which looked like it was being used to plant vegetables in the spring of the following year, and the low places were full of pigsty and stables, which looked dirty and chaotic.

In addition to these civilian facilities, holes for shooting can be seen in the walls of the houses, there are even falling rocks and bricks for emergency repairs on the roofs, and many key streets have gates that can be lowered at any time.

Although there are thousands of dissatisfactions, Sinan Pei has to admit that this is really suitable for defense, if there is a street battle in such a city, the enemy will definitely die a miserable death. Si Nanpei subconsciously compared her with Diaoyu City, and found that it was difficult to determine a superiority.

Si Nanpei simulated several siege methods using cold weapons in his mind, and after finding that he couldn't do all his best, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The wisdom of the ancients really can't be underestimated. ”

But what about gunpowder, or even magic?
