Chapter 926: Two Worlds, Two Gods
divlign="ener">
Four days later, a splendid and spacious city spread out among the mountains
This is a metropolitan city, a real metropolitan city with an imposing atmosphere comparable to the ancient city of Xi'an, even wider and more beautiful than the city of Esyl Riddar, those towering towers in the middle of the air shine with colorful light, like stars falling on the dust, shining on these exquisite buildings high above. The fifty or sixty-foot-high thick city walls are like a giant python coiling across the open mountains, and the huge and dignified momentum is breathtaking, far beyond the compact castles in the countryside and the sparse and messy towns, it is almost like coming to the big city of another world.
"I, rely on you to look at the castle on the left," Grimm, who pointed to a castle building in the city in the distance, his eyes straightened in amazement: "At least two hundred feet high, the gods are on top, this is a big place, the kings of North Sensano can't compare, it's too powerful, I, rely on you to see that there are so many such castles in the city, wow~~ I really don't know what kind of noble people deserve to live in it." Wow~~ It must be very, very prosperous and rich in it, dear Viscountess, you Raziraka are too rich, it's unbelievable, you are so blessed~~"
But the viscountess on the other side, who was becoming more and more worried, just smiled with some difficulty: "I wasn't so rich before, but in the past few years, the magic raw materials and minerals everywhere have been selling better and better, so ~~ There are many rich people and high-ranking mages here, and the governors appointed by the king are also here, one is richer than the other, so the city is constantly expanding and building." It's like this. If you look at that section of the wall, it looks like it's being demolished and expanded. ”
When everyone looked at it, they really saw that a section of the mountain-like city wall about fifty or sixty feet high was being torn down, and it looked like a section of the mountain had been cut off, and the dense people on it were as small as a thin and slightly wriggling ant, and it made people feel shocked when they saw it—this building was so large that there must be a large number of mages using 'stone shaping' to tidy it up, and they would spend a lot of money to bless the entire section of the city wall to make it as strong as steel to resist the attacks of those chaotic people
It's all about spending money. The crowd walked with emotion and envy to the wide road leading to the huge provincial capital, and the flat ground shaped by bluestone made Donghezi feel like he was back on the highway of the 21st century - from the city-state at the end of feudal society to the luxurious metropolis in the heyday of capitalism. It's like two worlds
What's more, on this wide road, there is also a rumbling super-large structure, like a steam age temperament of the Dunhou machine qì people in the 'dong dong dong ~~' stepping on the ground, the ground trembles, and all the pedestrians around are frightened and avoided, so as not to be trampled into meat by the big feet as wide as a bed board, and even Dong Hezi feels a little intertwined in time and space: what is this place? Surrounded by an ancient manor and a rural area, in front of it is a huge mechanical body of the steam age, and it is also a reloader with the characteristics of future fantasy? Uh~~ What the hell is this place?
The mighty structure, which was about two or three stories high, looked like a shrunken steel fortress, moving its short legs of coarse cloth in the shape of a human, walking back and forth between the road and the green field. When I got closer, I saw that there were even dazzling headlights on the top of the front of it, like staring eyes radiating a real brutal light, and the thick body and shoulders were carved with the majestic stripes of a general's uniform, with steel arms wider than a single bed and a huge battle axe about three stories high in his hand, as if a terrifying general who had broken through the mountains and shattered the land was patrolling this rich land. made people secretly shout and retreat
And this stocky 'machine qì man', which is bigger than a mammoth, actually saw the middle-aged mage in the cockpit in front of him in a posture, only to see him sitting in this open-air cockpit with a stern expression and constantly giving orders, making the constructor 'dong dong ~~' walk around, and finally cast a spell to make this huge and heavy thing 'whew~~' fly up, slowly circling back and forth in the low air, as if testing its maneuverability. Just to make way for the convoy of Dong Hezi and others.
When everyone hurriedly shook the side of this huge thing, the face of the viscountess in the car became more and more solemn and low: "Even this kind of thing has come out, in the future~~sigh~~ who will want knights in the future~~" And without knights, who will the nobles find to protect themselves?
Alas~~ The old times, the old order, are those beautiful rules really gone forever?
Everyone entered the city, and sure enough, it was very lively in all directions, full of colorful illusion signs, neon shining as if entering a tourist city with an ancient style, on both sides were high-rise buildings with bright walls and exquisite window flowers, and in front of them were all kinds of businessmen who came and went, and there were many people in bright clothes, and there were many mages coming and going, a vibrant scene.
Of course, there are divisions everywhere, Rao is prosperous here, but there is also a problem of distance and proximity - the closer the distance is to the city center, the more luxurious the buildings, the taller and burier the castle, and the more brilliant and rare the magic splendor decorated on it, like a giant holding the stars in his hands to the earth, making people reborn in awe and envy. In the vicinity, there are mostly ordinary buildings, interspersed alleys, and even small open spaces full of weeds, which has a bit of a suburban sense of seclusion. It is as if the city is divided into two worlds: the inner circle and the outer world.
And the Viscountess's miserable husband was imprisoned in this outlying town. They hurried to the outside of a large castle-like prison, and were allowed to enter after a heavy stone door. The anxious Viscountess suddenly couldn't hold back tears of grief and indignation on her delicate face, and hurried all the way into the dim prison area in the depths of the castle, and saw her poor husband with a scruffy beard like a homeless man in a large iron cage full of the power of locking: "Are you okay? I've only gotten together the money now, and it will be fine in two days. You're alright. She choked up and cried.
And the gloomy Viscount in the prison, whose two eyes were blue, had no sadness on his face, not even the joy of reunion, but approached his elegant wife and said hatefully: "It's okay? Do you think I'm all right? I've finally figured it out these days—they're not just trying to covet my money, they're going to kill us, even if I'm out this time, what will I do next time?"
The elegant and petite Viscountess suddenly cried with a sad face: "Then you can't stay here." If I can go out for a day, I'll go find someone right away, and we'll be home tomorrow if it's soon. In the prison full of magic power, although the Viscount's eyes were slightly hot, he finally cooled down and became sad, and sighed to the sky: "Alas~~ What's the matter? After I go back, I still worry all day long, and I don't know which day I will settle accounts with me." I can't stand it, I really can't stand it," he pounded desperately against the solid bluestone prison wall, and his crazy appearance seemed to hit his head against the wall at any moment
The Viscountess who was choked up outside the cage couldn't cry even more: "Do you think I can stand it?Woo woo woo~~ After you left, I begged to see this and that every day, borrowed money everywhere, accompanied by smiling faces in front of people, and had to be secretly discussed by them later, especially those rich businessmen, who even let out rumors to slander our family while borrowing money. I still have to pretend that I don't know anything to make people think I'm stupid. Do you think I'm comfortable?Woo woo~~" She couldn't stop covering her face and crying, and her white and soft fingers were filled with sad and desolate tears, staining large sleeves and collars.
In the end, he barely wiped his tears with the exquisite and delicate handkerchief handed over by Grimm: "No matter what, let's go out and figure out another way." The gods will always bless us~~" The viscount in the cage seems to have been stimulated for a long time, and his heart is a little hard: "Gods? sneer~~ Where are the gods now? There are only two gods - a god of Pero and a god of kings. Hmph, they all want us to die."
The Viscountess hurriedly stopped: "Don't say this kind of nonsense, be careful to be heard, you can't get out if you want to" The Viscount in the cage turned around sullenly, and couldn't help but mutter: "There is a kind of they directly killed me and used conspiracies and tricks to calculate us all day long, what kind of heroes are we?" I promised that we would not be guilty in the past, but the result was to settle accounts after the fall, I knew that this was the case, it is better ~~"
"Don't say it," the petite viscountess outside the cage suddenly became angry: "Do you still want to go out? I've been busy for so many days just to save you." You still talk this nonsense, stay well, I'll go find someone right away, I hope I can take you out tomorrow," and then left anxiously after a few words of comfort.
Accompanied by Cindell, Grimm and other well-wishers, she traveled several castles by land, ran seven or eight departments, and finally found the principal at a young petty official: "This is in our charge, but they have been working for the first quarter for the past two days." The Governor has important instructions to make, and there are other miscellaneous meetings. So it may have to wait until next week. ”
This made the Viscountess who had not dried her tears anxious, and begged to surrender her identity despite the fact that the other party was younger than herself: "So, Mr. Kang Yes, can you give our materials to your boss for approval first? I mean~~ Can you please go for a trip? Take advantage of the meeting to meet your boss? I don't think it will take long." ”
As a petty official, the young Kang Yes didn't dare to call the shots, but after a neat and neat box of shiny gold coins appeared in his hand, he was also a little soft-handed: "This~~ needs the cooperation of our boss~~" So he had another bigger box in his hand, as well as the Viscountess's soft plea: "Our materials are ready, we just need your boss's approval." Just a few minutes to delay everyone. When my husband comes out, we'll stay here for a week, and when you and your boss are free, we'll get together and show our gratitude. ”
Kang Yesi said repeatedly: "No, no, you're polite." Then he took the gold, descended the castle, boarded the old carriage of the Viscountess, and galloped towards the heart of the metropolis, where stood a towering castle as high as a giant peak, and the heavy bluestone surface reflected the bright sunlight, showing the architectural ability of the mage and the supremacy of the king
