Chapter 142: The City of Innovation and Change

When Will recounted his escape from Nova City, he didn't mention in detail which gate it was.

It was only after Mogan specifically asked him that he came up with a more exact location, as well as the suspicions throughout the whole process before and after the incident, and sorted them all out.

According to Will's direct personal experience when he went out of town with his sister to train together, Nova City's unique pass system in Cole was put in place off paper, and it was not much different from the writing outlined in the external propaganda.

Therefore, as a rule, several knights should be on duty at the city wall that night.

Even if it is difficult to see in the dark, Will may not see the whole picture of the city and outside, if the defense is normal, at least someone will come forward when the panicked teenagers and girls escape, or against the arrogant black cavalry......

This is not the case.

What's even more amazing is that, according to Will's description, the black-clothed cavalry also seemed to know that no one would stop them, so they directly broke in and went straight to the city wall, not knowing what they were doing.

Those people didn't even care about the shadows near the city walls, so they missed a pair of younger siblings who had no experience of escaping.

This situation proves that the lack of defense in Nova City is in their plans.

Mogan looked up, and the east gate was the same as the west gate where they were just now, and there were expressionless lightly armored knights evenly distributed on the city wall.

It wasn't just their attire that was neat, but also the immobile aura that exuded from them, and the threat that Mogan instinctively perceived.

Dragons are also beasts after all, so Mogan partially trusts the intuition in his bloodline as a useful instinct.

The people on the city wall don't mention whether it is a vase with a silver pewter head or not, first of all, it must be someone with a certain strength.

So a year has passed, is the defense of Nova City as infiltrated as when the Mirandi siblings left, in fact, it has no real effect, or does it have a normal and tough defensive function?

If needed, Mogan didn't mind making a mess and trying to "fire", and he had the confidence to get out with the tricks he was most familiar with, but he wasn't ready to play with fire for such a clue.

After all, this is the territory of important targets.

Everything needs to be done with extra care.

As a confirmation, Mogan glanced down at the temporary pass in his hand, and carefully observed it for a moment with a cautious and critical attitude.

In addition to the usual official seals and special inks to create their own portraits, there is also information such as the duration of the temporary order.

At first glance it looks simple, but Mogan soon discovers that this gadget is difficult to forge completely.

It's just that the corners of the pieces of paper are not branded with symbols, but with a special magical ability.

The entrance to the East Gate, which can now be seen, is also corroborated by the knight in charge of checking the pass.

In addition to observing whether the faces of pedestrians are consistent with the information on paper, the person who directly received the pass order also used a small square, dotted it on the corner of the paper, and returned it after doing trivial operations.

This is supposed to be some kind of mass-produced magic item. Mo Gan also saw something in the queue at the city gate just now, and the city defenders had the same division of labor, and the operation process was no different.

The Milandi siblings are local civilians, and there are no restrictions on their access, even if the knight on duty does not recognize them as the children of the captain of the knights, the identification documents they carry with them can be equivalent to a pass, which is also a unique long-term residence style.

According to the declaration confirmed by Mogan before the review, Nova City's verification of identity is extremely meticulous, even a little extreme.

Even if you enter the city, if you are lucky, you will be questioned by the patrol knights in the city again. At this time, you will either have to present your documents for a new review, or you can simply present the pass.

If not, they can only be asked to go back to check the purpose and even the reason for not carrying the certificate with them, and if the result is bad, the identity is unclear, or the corresponding documents cannot be produced for a long time, the most serious case will even be directly detained and imprisoned.

This is not a lax measure.

Passing by the door, Mogan showed the pass, and sure enough, he saw the knight in charge of checking the cube and comparing it, and suddenly flashed a light that seemed to be yellow but not yellow.

Then it's a direct release.

Mogan himself was half a mage, and he felt an extremely warm magical power, and it was clear that there was something more sensitive to this matter than he was.

"There was a flicker next to me just now, and what I saw was the mana of the earth system."

Dolandot had been resting quietly, and only after receiving a direct signal from Mogan did he gently remind him with his unique vision, and then evaluate.

"There are actually very few people who specialize in this kind of magic, I haven't seen a few, and they are rarely in the early summer of the clan. They're more ...... than water-based magic and wood-based magic."

The elf seemed to hesitate.

"What's the comparison?"

Dorandot was embarrassed, "When assigning tasks, the clansmen didn't want to be endowed with the ability of earth magic by the Mother Tree. Because it is said to be very laborious, and we often have to leave the clan to work - we were born in the forest, and we don't need our own houses made of rock and earth, tree houses are enough. ”

It turns out that elves also reject business trips.

However, the word "give" made Mo Gan pay extra attention to it, and he was relatively concerned.

Could it be that in the elven race, magic is not a natural and random endowment, but is all the result of the deliberate arrangement of Dorandot's so-called "Mother Tree"?

Mogan decided to put the topic on hold for now.

When you enter the city, everything suddenly becomes clear.

The pedestrians on the streets come and go, which is not luxurious compared to the rich town of Windsor, but the number of people is several times as high, and two people are found close to each other at random, and the gap between them is an average of two or three meters.

There are the most hawkers in the city entrance, mainly leaning on the side of the city wall, shouting and selling all kinds of handicrafts, and a series of stalls are hung with a dazzling array of small objects, which are the most popular among tourists.

And such a simple handicraft is the only type of goods in this area:

At least in this vicinity, there are no magical materials for sale, and there are no tools and weapons.

This is because the urban planning of Nova City has strict requirements, and each area has specific standards for the type of goods according to the different security levels, and it is not allowed to sell across districts.

The system of passes has been in place for a long time in the city of Nova. In fact, it is also special, this system is based on the prohibition of the Kingdom of Lestus.

The rules, led by these two, were all the result of the drafting of the rules that began 30 years ago.

Nova City is a city of innovation and change, and there are very unique historical reasons why it has become such an unusual mix of structure and policy.

Structurally, Nova City is a city completely separated from rights and functions, divided into DC districts, XC districts, and the central island of the artificial lake.

When an outsider sees a schematic map of the interior of the city, it is difficult not to immediately associate it:

If you ignore the dividing line of the East XC area, the panoramic view of the city, the artificial lake and the central island are like a true miniature portrayal of Lake Augustus and the surrounding urban area.

It's not entirely a coincidence.

Mainly because of the old things.

Since taking office, Queen Cole has given a number of instructions for the rebuilding of cities that need to be rebuilt after the war, and Nova City is one of them.

And long before the war, Nova City was the most prosperous city outside the royal capital of Asong, and it didn't even have a prefix.

It was only because an enemy who had penetrated deep inland and tried to attack the city of Asune was discovered in the city of Nova and clashed. Overnight, the settled city of Nova became miserable.

In the out-of-control competition, most of the buildings of Nova City were destroyed, and two-thirds of the civilians who failed to evacuate were killed, and half of them died because of the simplest impact.

This was a sign that the war was completely stalemate, irreconcilable, and also made Nova City a deserted city for a long time.

Even if they were born in the Magic Continent, most people live their own peaceful lives, and they will not be obsessed with the extremely low limit and the consumption of good power.

And that's where magic comes in.

All that Mogan can see now is the post-war reconstruction. The city of Nova was so convenient and famous that it was the first half-destroyed city to be completely rebuilt after the war.

Nova City, which was destroyed by the war, is unlike the others. Most of the cities on the front line have already been evacuated to avoid disasters caused by magic getting out of control.

And Nova City, which was suddenly attacked, did not have the best fortune in this misfortune. By the time the evacuation warning came, manic magic had begun to sweep through the city, and most people had died there.

It is for this reason that, for a long time after the attack on Nova City, the actual fear of war among civilians came from this undefined catastrophe, and thus spread widely.

The first restoration of Nova City can also provide spiritual strength to the traumatized people.

In order to boost the morale of the people's livelihood and make a difference as soon as possible after taking office, the queen even specially mobilized a large number of mages to help complete the design and construction as soon as possible, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to stabilize the people's hearts.

According to Mogan's knowledge, it even includes a powerful earth magister, who seems to be a big man with the surname Rodriguez.

Mogan didn't know him, but he also knew that at least in Nova City, this mage had a good reputation, and there was a faint tendency to bind to the homeland of celebrities.

Because in the royal capital of Asun, where the small commodity trade is most active, there are even people selling his statue on the street, and decorative stickers are the symbol of Nova City.

The DC District is the most normal type of city, with the local knights of Nova City as the main patrol guards, accommodating most of the civilians and the market business district, and there is a constant flow of people every day.

The XC area is controlled by a special person, and there is one more pass checkpoint than the DC area, which not only requires proof of identity, but also needs to obtain a special access permit for more rigorous scrutiny.

The area was more secure, and the locals needed to stay long enough to enter freely, as it was the base of meetings and councils, and housed most of the city's nobles and officials.

At the same time, Mogan had earlier investigated that this area had long been in the hands of Albert Talanik, including most of the officials who did what he said he would say - in layman's terms, it was the back garden of the Talanik family.

As for the islands in the central lake, they are known as the residence and office of the Inquisitor.

And there is one more lesser-known landmark building, which is difficult for Mogan to ignore.

It is a well-known fact that there is a hidden prison in Nova City.

Speaking of which, the "Demon King of Men" that Everest once mentioned is among them.

Mogan was also very impressed by the person who the Great Magician suddenly proposed, and even thought that he might have deliberately mentioned this person to himself, wanting to amuse him, rather than really trying to make a difference.

- Because the capture of the Demon King of Men was one of the exploits of his brave father, Lincelo.

Everest had always been eccentric, and Mogan didn't know what he was thinking, and sometimes Mogan even wondered, allowing himself to start wondering if it was also part of his fun.

But in connection with the fact that the prison is hidden, there are indeed more key points to be concerned about.

Because Mogan knew something that had not yet been written in the public record.

They were mixed between half-truths and half-truths, but they were finally restored and confirmed because of some exclusive verification and verification channels of Mogan.

Nearly all of the buildings in Nova City today are exactly twenty-nine years old, and the structure is under the control of the Queen, who wants to create a woman who meets the requirements and seeks to break through in maintaining balance.

Everything is booming.

The reason for the recovery of a dead city from a fully demobilized city is not only due to the direct human and material support, but also because the state's investment in it has attracted many speculators who pursue business opportunities, and it has further produced positive benefits.

As a new city, Nova City basically has only a special list of intricate and effective decisions, and the decisions learned from others are relatively special.

The process of reconstruction was not variable, except for one place, which was also the first task.

In the midst of that raid, the ravages of magic created a frustrating geography.

It sits beneath the central lake, and its raging magical power makes it impossible to lay the foundation, occupying a vast expanse of land in the city's plans.

As a result, this chaotic place deep underground was also the biggest problem in the reconstruction of Nova City.

In order to stabilize it, most of the mages contributed to the restoration of the relic at the beginning of the reconstruction.

The seemingly revered magister had come for this purpose before he was dragged into the labour, and had completed his mission within a month.

The summary in the public record is simple.

The city next to Lake Augustus was subjected to magic, but it also gave birth to a unique phenomenon, which is an artificial lake that is not alarmed.

"Calm and unfazed" is not true.

However, since the underground chaos has been covered up by the artificial lake, according to the Magister's inference, the people's lives have basically ruled out the possibility of threat, and the hypocritical cover-up has become a superficial fact.

At the beginning of the project, there was even talk of changing the address. After all, magic is always dangerous, and the construction task requested by the queen cannot be completed without being completed, so it is better to bypass this place.

But even if you want to do this, the fact that the location of the city is different from the previous one will be discovered sooner or later, and the slightest hint of the cocoon will be discovered by someone who cares.

With Nova City as a landmark, the purpose of the oath of peace will be ruined.

- You know, long after the end of the war, the existence and use of magic was rejected in many areas that experienced the war because of its overly powerful influence.

People fear not being able to grasp the forces of understanding, whether they are now directed at themselves or not.

And the rebuilding of Nova City is imperative.

As the second city of the former kingdom of Kohl, it once housed countless remnants, although a large part of them left this sad place, and a large number of people wanted to return to their homeland.

This was a symbolic post-war return migration that could not be missed.

For the sake of balance, this state of war aftermath must not be sustained. And simply trying to whitewash the peace, covering up the problem for the sake of covering up the problem, is naturally not the most correct decision.

The dilemma in front of us seems to be unreasonable, and it will cause major hidden dangers......

As a result, someone made an extremely bold decision to use the macro results of this destructive magical relic to build a hidden landmark with a special purpose and a corresponding solution.

As a result of this use, there is one of the most amazing hidden structures under the artificial lake.

Nova Prison.

A cage for prisoners was placed in the center of the city, at the same coordinates as the Inquisitor's station, only at a different altitude.

Nestled in a dangerous place where magic cleanses everything, it can hold and deal with all the dirt, and it can also put some sins that are too intolerable to heaven to be put to rest in places where the sun can't shine.
