Chapter 143: Frozen in the Changing Earth
At this moment, a thick bell rang high above the city.
The terrifying sound resounded in almost all areas of the city and outside the city, and it was knocked nineteen times.
"It's so loud, this is the clock tower that the Terrans use to keep time...... Speaking of which, there seems to be a sound here, too? It's all the same, but why are there in all directions, is it magic? ”
Dorandot exclaimed. Sound is one of the few foreign fluctuations that it can feel like a human.
Growing up in the forest of unknown hundreds or thousands of years ago, living with a group of elves who lived a primitive life even years ago, it must be an extravagant hope to rely on itself to distinguish what it has never seen by name.
Although Mogan knew, he also confirmed it, and promised that he would not mistake people's children.
"After the bell rings, you hear the 'sun wheel' phenomenon peculiar to Nova City. As the night turns, they turn specific parts of the city up and down to become another functional structure, which can be used to achieve different effects in the same space. ”
As Mogan said.
With the sound of metal grinding that is relatively subtle and disturbed only by those with too keen senses, abnormal movements occur all over the city.
For example, a few dozen meters away, several rows of review passages issued by the pass order for all personnel to evacuate have slowly overturned at this moment and deposited at the bottom of the sentry post from the bottom up.
It is well known that in order to ensure the safety of personnel, the issuance of the pass order is only reviewed during the day. If you have special needs, you will need to go to the small gate that is specially opened, but you will also need to pay an additional fee.
The original passage was now redundant, and in the darkness of the night, where protection and guarding were more important.
There are many more similar conversions.
Because most of the shops in the outer city are day and night, the area of day and night change in the outer city is limited, and more mechanical transformation places are located in residential areas, accounting for one-fifth of the public places, no more and no less.
In fact, these are all inspired by the characteristics of the city of Denton Kingdom, which is known as the "City of Machines", and is one of the urban planning schemes derived from the priority design when rebuilding.
There are not many pedestrians on the road now.
Mogan melted the fake "jewel" dagger, released the elf who was nesting honestly, let it fly freely, and told him to hide in his shadow when he saw someone.
At the same time, he didn't mind teaching the elves some principles of the human world, so that his alien apprentice would develop a good habit of drawing inferences.
"Since Queen Cole took office, she has done a lot of planning to make the country stronger, and not just to set goals – Nova City was designed to be a starting point for innovation from the beginning."
The Kingdom of Kohl was once in an awkward position, especially after the war.
In terms of the level of science and technology, the Kingdom of Cole is not as good as the newly built city and Denton, which started as a craftsman; In terms of area and population, the long-term war has also made the Kingdom of Cole aware of the gap.
As for comparing it with Lestus......
Not to mention whether there is such a way or not, just some royal-only records about their mages from a hundred years ago can be daunting.
With so many resources gathered from all over the country, Nova City's rapid re-emergence is naturally not only due to the sympathy and face-saving projects of others, but also to the interests of the whole country in the long-term experiment.
How to make Cole, who is not outstanding in all aspects, occupy a stable position among the four countries, and refer to the methods of other countries to not fall behind, this is the problem that Queen Cole has focused on for 30 years.
And she did it.
Taking Nova City as an example, adopting the passage order of Lestus and the urban mechanical structure of the Kingdom of Denton, Nova City is actually a melting pot of special properties and landmarks of major countries.
This reference seems to leave aside only the powerful but more sensitive kingdom of Crowley. This is not surprising because of the politics of the times.
- It is not like a good thing to emulate a country that has just fought with itself.
After teaching Dorandot, Mogan relied on the map he memorized to find a fork in the road with the street number written on it, and then turned around.
Going down into the residential area.
Stalls are not allowed in residential areas of Nova City, and there are clear signs prohibiting it.
It's not a commercial monopoly, it's just that the flow of people is not up to the required level, and it hinders traffic by making people stay as if they were in the wide outer city.
Especially in the areas closer to the residential areas of the city, the further you go inside, the quieter the streets become, the cleaner the streets, and the wider housing does not conflict with the road accessibility.
This situation is due to the relatively advantageous and highly utilized road planning of Nova City.
Based on Mogan's experience in field work, the new style of planning is the first in most of the Kohl kingdoms, which have remained unchanged for a century, and is part of an experiment in urban planning reform.
Mogan's gaze looked at the tallest building on the edge of the neighborhood, and after simply sweeping the Kingdom flag at the top, he continued on his own journey.
He knew that it was the location of the Knights of Nova City, and it was one of the starting points for their departure described by the Milandi siblings.
It looks like it's business as usual, heavily guarded, but I don't know what it actually is.
It was in this place that they were left uninhabited that night - which meant that the Knights should be most suspicious if the defenses were completely infiltrated somewhere.
Two teenage children openly ran to steal the sword successfully, and this is not a general problem.
Mogan knew this very well early on, and the order in Nova City was basically determined by three parties.
Inquisitors, Knights, and Dukes.
The last one is hidden in the XC area, he doesn't dare to show his face, he is greedy for life and death, and he doesn't know what he has done in this Nova City, and Mogan is also looking into it.
But in any case, the task of defending the city is not the business of the duke, and he has no direct authority.
Neither Albert nor the people behind him could directly influence the other two forces. Unless by an indirect method......
Mogan remembered the variety of uniforms at the gates of the city. When he began to observe, he wanted to get the answer first, but found that there were both, and he couldn't tell which side was more dominant than the other.
Knights, Inquisitors.
Which side is the loophole?
It is still inconvenient to inform Dorandot of the content.
Mogan had heard of the name of Nova early on, not because of its innovative nature, but because it was out of control, and many in the upper echelons seemed to be helpless to ignore it.
The tragedy is vivid, and the experience of the Mirandi siblings is also told by themselves.
The construction of the urban area has been completed for decades, and the various functions have not yet spread to the whole country, regardless of the effect of the effect, largely because the control of Nova City has been out of control in the later period.
Sending Inspector Assad to personally take charge of the Inspector here in the name of rotation is the final step Queen Christine has taken.
But there seemed to be no progress now, and what Mogan read in the Queen's letter was that he had better not get involved in it.
The word "best" means "may" in Mogan's dictionary, and perhaps the queen has room for it, and I don't think it's impossible.
It was too rash to rush directly at the Knights, and his current target was the residence of the Mirandi family. That's what Will described telling himself.
When he arrived at the place, the scene presented was slightly different from what Mogan had imagined, which made him stunned.
It was not an intact house, nor a ruins that had been bulldozed and emptied, but half of a mansion that was still covered with charred marks, but all the objects had been preserved intact.
The house number that is still intact in the dirt and weeds in front of the house is indeed the correct surname of the "Mirandi" family.
Mogan could still make out the handwriting on the door sign similar to Will's handwriting at Robbie's shop, but with relatively immature strokes, which were probably a symbol of the Mirandi family's happiness.
It was as if there had been no flow at all for a year, and it had been frozen to this day. For example, the Mirandi siblings saw their home destroyed by fire last night, and they fled from Nova City in a hurry.
