386. Within the royal palace
In the Elven Garden, Rand sighed at the strength of his ancestors when he thought that the entire garden and palace were all built at a height of dozens of meters above the ground, "This is a hanging garden in the literal sense"
Rand looked at the many plants around him and asked the life mages next to him, "There are so many plants in this place that are about to enter the intermediate level, do you want to make a batch of breeding tanks for them?" ”
"It's better to be like this, but I'm afraid the number is too large, and the characteristics of each plant are different," Firefly was a little embarrassed, "I looked at the dozens of woody magic plants inside, I really hope to see that elf princess, I can't imagine how much effort she spent to build such a garden." ”
"I don't know, anyway, such a garden is estimated to consume more mana than our mentor tower" Rand just entered the garden and was assessing the demand for magic furnaces here, and after a little estimation, he understood that the magic furnaces of iron ore or salt mines might not be able to supply such a garden at the same time as mining.
After deciding on the area to stay in, the knights began to move Rand and the girls' luggage in, and Rand took advantage of the afternoon to go around the entire palace. At Tenya's prompting, he discovered that his Archon's Dress resonated with the various circles throughout the palace, and in the dress he was a true Magister, able to fly and unleash powerful magic.
With the strength of the Magister, his visits have become faster, and he can even use flying tools similar to flying carpets to pull his subordinates to visit the palace.
If the Padmira Palace is a super building facing north and south, it is bounded by the north and south staircase halls (actually the elevator hall, where Wendy found the entrance to the magic lift), and the area between the staircase halls is a public space, including the ceremonial hall, the meeting room, the banquet hall, the ball hall, and the room where the ceremonial supplies are stored.
All the rooms in this public space have a very consistent character: large space and very high height. For example, the largest palace of the kingdom, at the top of the entire mountain, is also the most significant building of the Padmila palace from the outside, the entire hall is hundreds of meters high, and the roof is even half of the glass structure, and the whole room is only used for the coronation of kings, the declaration of war of the kingdom or major sacrifices. Such a solemn room itself was also subject to magical prohibitions, and now Rand could not really use the room even if he had the Archon's Dress and the Great Seal of the Galloping Horse Kingdom. The other rooms in the public areas are similar, each one is large, luxuriously decorated, and has a purpose, with the exception of a few VIP lounges and storerooms that are slightly smaller.
Bounded by the North Staircase Hall, the hill nearly 2 kilometers long to the north wall of the Elven Garden, can be seen as the King's Residence, the official name of this area is the King's Quarters, but in fact the Royal Family of the Galloping Horse lives in this area with their own people.
The entire dormitory area can be seen as a vertical city with a vertical height of nearly 300 meters, the bottom area below 60 meters is the infrastructure of the entire palace and the people's quarters, the western functional area includes the teaching locks, the girls' magic workshop, wine cellars, warehouses, wells, etc., and the eastern area is the apartments of the princes directly under the royal family. There are a number of communal facilities for the non-demons, such as canteens, auditoriums, prayer rooms, shops, bakeries, etc., between the apartments and the functional areas, making it look more like a tower community.
"It's a small room, but it's well equipped," Rand casually walked into a waiter's apartment, which had a bedroom, a small living room, and a magic board for a shower in the bathroom.
"How nice this room is!" Nila on the side said enviously, "In the Baron's Castle, I live with 7 or 8 people, and I want to live in one room here." ”
"How can you live here, I'll let them clean up the room for you," Rand said nonchalantly, "Let's just do this, the people who used to live in the core tent still live near me, I'm used to it." ”
"Rand, in fact, I can live anywhere, but Wendy and the others will live with you, you have to think about it, I think the cardinals are actually very good, but maybe Wen ......" Nila wanted to make a comment, but was dragged away by Rand.
"Sister, you wait until I have a stable plain, we can't just take the city and start the draft girl." Rand was very helpless about Nila's urging her to marry whenever she was free.
The northernmost part of the bottom section is a thick stone wall, the northern part of which is the underground part of the Elven Garden, and the top is a 5-meter-high rock slab that completely separates it from the middle level of the palace. 300 years ago, tens of thousands of demonless people of the Galloping Horse family lived here, these demonless people were both the attendants of the royal palace, as well as the basic staff of various departments of Night Qicheng, the royal family provided them with life security and posts, and they dedicated their lives to the Galloping Horse Kingdom, they were the cornerstone of the Galloping Horse royal family in terms of physical and status.
But now Rand obviously does not have tens of thousands of lords to fill in here, and his direct lords still need to work as workers, herdsmen and farmers in the entire Yeqi City, and it is impossible to move in a centralized manner.
The middle section of the palace area, from 60 meters to 180 meters, is the space where the royal demon supporters live and live, which is divided into dozens of living areas, and the higher the floor, the higher the room height, which means that the higher the level of the demon supporters living in it. Each residential area can be seen as a small community, similar to the shopping mall in Rand's hometown: dozens of residences are spread on the east and west sides of the mountain, with an atrium spanning 4-5 floors at the center.
This area belongs to the residential area of the close relatives of the royal family, who are the close relatives and descendants of the king, on the one hand, they stimulate the bloodline, have their own families, servants, and their demand for living area will increase according to their rank. On the other hand, they did not have fiefs or castles, and the magic inside the Padmila palace was more abundant and the cost of living was lower.
When the cardinal saw the first community, he thought it was the main part of the dormitory, and sent 10 teams of people to search and count, but he didn't expect a whole team of people to go in all morning, and he didn't even finish half of the search. A neighborhood here is no less than the number of rooms in the Dragon's Tooth City Palace.
Fortunately, after everyone's efforts, at least the first community encountered was searched and inventoried, this community was once the residential area of the Duke of Night Qicheng, the Duke of Night Qicheng is similar to the Duke of Dragon's Tooth City, it is the location where the king exercises his heirs, and this is also the area where King Philip Galloping Horse, who restored the Kingdom of Galloping Horses and created Night Qicheng City, once lived.
On the one hand, there are enough rooms and functions, and the usable area of the entire area is probably not less than the main castle building of Li Qi Honglong, on the other hand, this community is on the edge of the north staircase hall and entrance hall, and it is very convenient to enter and exit.
