387. Mountains and cities
"Rand, you don't plan to move upstairs after being crowned in the Kingdom Hall, are you?" When Albert heard that Rand was planning to move the entire crew of the original core tent directly to the Duke of Nightqi's residence, he asked.
"After all, not everyone can live in the king's bedroom, and I can live in the duke's bedroom now" Facing Albert, Rand was embarrassed to say, and almost took out the king's bedroom as a museum ticket.
Between the middle floor and the upper floor, there is also a rock layer several meters thick as a partition, and the space of dozens of meters on the upper floor is the king's office and living area, where there is a large area of bedroom suites, meditation rooms, training rooms, prayer rooms, and the top of the building is the terrace, which is the place where the three mages arranged the rand yesterday, and the royal cloakroom and weapons room and material warehouse found by Wendy are also in this area.
When Rand arrived at noon, he felt that the area was particularly like the interior of a giant cruise ship or spaceship: a huge circular atrium, rich functional rooms, ornate sculptural decorations, expensive magic plant bonsai, and a stream on the ground rich in magic. In the afternoon, with the help of the Archon's dress, I even found that walking north in the upper area led to a small courtyard in the Elven Garden.
"Rand? Are you really not going to move upstairs? When Gurrea heard that Rand was going to live in the Duke's quarters, she also expressed her concern that "if a bird flies into the air, it will attract three dragons to chase it, and unless one is caught, the dragons will always fight with each other." ”
"Your analogy is too bizarre, isn't it something that the Marquis of Fiat will remember?" Wendy has a headache with Gruya's rhetorical devices, and in terms of expression, Wendy and other girls are very in line with the barbarian's straightforward atmosphere.
"Sister Wendy, as far as I know, it's not just Fiat who is worried about Night Qi City, after all, he is the marquis of the Southeast Kingdom, and he has nominally given up the inheritance of the Galloping Horse Kingdom, but there are some powerful Galloping Horse members in each kingdom, and their bloodline can also be traced back to Philip Galloping Horse, and they also have ideas about the territory of adults." Tierney said worriedly.
"If you take the crown, you have to bear the weight of the crown, and if you sit in that position, you have to be prepared to be repaid by the orcs, and bite you back," Rand is very open to the throne, the galloping horse family has no legend now, and he really doesn't believe that any family can withstand the attack of the orcs alone.
The northernmost boundary of the dormitory is the Elven Garden, but further north, there are several kilometers of mountains that serve as the living quarters of the Galloping Horse clan.
As a traverser who has worked on construction projects in his previous life, Rand is curious about how people in this world live in the mountains. However, when I really flew to the clan residence area, I found that this was not so much a cave as a linear city that looked like a mountain.
The whole city is divided into two sides around the north-south avenue of the mountain, and the buildings of different heights on the east and west sides of the street form different mountain configurations, each building is a family of the Galloping Horse Clan, and these buildings still follow the distribution structure of the upper level living in the upper level, the middle level living in the middle and low level, and the lowest level living in the demonless people.
According to records, the royal family has intermarried with the elves and dragons many times, and these elves and dragons have strong combat power, and have high requirements for the magical environment, and have a particularly long lifespan, so they live in the north of the elf garden, each of them has a single house, and enjoys the treatment of the court for life.
Many princes and princesses of the first and second generations of the king of the galloping horse lived until the war of annihilation of the kingdom around 700 years of the god emperor, and they almost lived and died together with the galloping horse kingdom.
In order to experience the decaying life of the galloping horse royal family, Rand took the girls into the house of a dragonborn prince, and in the living room of nearly 1,000 square meters, Rand felt that the decoration in the palace was still very simple.
The roof and beams of the living room are covered with gold leaf, which looks golden, and all the curtains and lampshades are also completely embroidered with gold thread, and the golden crystal lamps and the green meadows on the ground all indicate the aesthetic style of the owner here. In the huge portraits on the walls, the sturdy dragonborn is surrounded by warblers, swallows, and concubines, surrounded by tall dragons, and behind them are tall buildings.
The magic trees on the terrace outside the living room, although a little lush and cluttered, can still be seen as extraordinary, and from the terrace you can look out over the city to the west. Now Rand probably understands that on Padmila Mountain, the west direction is a better direction. The huge west-facing terrace illustrates the status and rank of the Dragonborn.
"My lord, there's a bathroom here, too" Wendy smiled and ran over and beckoned Rand, "Come and have a look!" ”
The Dragonborn's aesthetic is truly unique, the bath downstairs resembles an irregular pool, and part of it extends to the balcony, the entire pool floor is covered with mosaic porcelain, and the walls around the pool are decorated with life-size female sculptures.
"Rand, would you like to move this bathroom to your house in its entirety?" Wendy covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Don't you like the big bathroom?" ”
"Am I the kind of extravagant person?" Rand said in disgust, "Besides, I'm going to make a bathroom, can it be this style of extravagant pleasure?" You have to draw a circle of magic patterns on the walls and floors, at least you have to prolong your life like a large magic breeding tank. ”
"Hey, you might as well put gold leaf on it," Wendy gave a blank look.
"I'll tell the Knights in a moment to send all the decorative plants in the whole area to the hive plot," Rand walked to the top floor when he was almost done, preparing to leave with the girls on the flying carpet, and when he left, he didn't forget to say, "Tell Teresa about it, shovel this bath for me, what grade, and have a hobby with me." ”
"My lord, are you talking about hobbies such as bathrooms, horseback riding, or concubines?" Wendy heckles in the back, causing the girls to burst into laughter.
"It's not taste anyway," Rand muttered in his mouth.
Visits to the interior of the mountain took up almost the entire afternoon, not only to the north, but also to the south of the south staircase, which is almost symmetrical to the north, and south of the south staircase is less than 2 kilometers of the royal religious building area, where thousands of worshippers once lived, and their tens of thousands of demonless families lived in the lower levels of the religious area. A few kilometers further south of the religious district is a linear city, which belonged to many vassals of the Galloping Horse.
After an afternoon's search, the real Padmira Hill reappeared in Rand's mind, the central ceremonial area, the northern part of which belonged to the royal family and the clan, and the southern part of which belonged to the priests and vassals. Vertically, the high-tier, middle-low-tier, and demonless occupy the upper, middle, and lower tiers, respectively.
"If Philippe Galloping had lived to this day, what would he say about this Padmila Mountain?" Rand thought to himself about the legendary ancestor, and perhaps he would ask: Wouldn't it be bold that I would have wanted to put the whole city in the Padmira Mountains? A whole city!
