057: The City of the Gods - Pera

Pera, also known as the city of the gods.

The temple of the twelve main gods of Olympia was built here, and the ornate halls towered into the sky, each shining with colorful brilliance. Every morning, priestesses dressed in snow-white robes go out to pray, and ethereal hymns are heard throughout the city every day. A 100-meter-tall colossus of Zeus, blessed by divine power since ancient times, has been floating above Pera for thousands of years, reflecting brilliant miracles in the sun, overlooking the mountains, rivers, plains, and entire cities.

Flocks of birds of all shapes and sizes gathered around the Colossus, whirling and singing merrily. The radiance of divinity shone on Pella, and the earth was bathed in the gaze of the god Zeus, symbolizing peace, happiness, and glory forever to the people of Pella.

The main road of the Sermai River winds around Pera, with the main peak of Mount Ajid in the center, on which the Grand Palace is built. The city was built on raging rivers and rugged hills, and was supported by a series of strong bastions along the coast, and numerous permanent bunkers were erected. In the center of the city, the Great Temple of the Twelve Main Gods and the Royal Magic Tower were the twin cores of the Mystery Lock, and the giant magic array glittered in the sky, overflowing with a surging flow of magic power, enough to withstand the direct bombardment of the most powerful magic spell in the world.

With such a tight defense system, it would be difficult to capture the city even if the enemy was several times more prepared to attack. Over the years, Pera has been invaded by numerous foreign tribes, but with the protection of the gods, the immense defenses, and the stubborn resistance of the rulers, each time the invaders have been defeated and driven out of the country.

However, no matter how strong the walls are, they cannot resist damage from within.

Ever since Emperor Alexander III fell into a prolonged coma, the Alliance has been leaderless. The regent Per Decas was not strong enough to subdue the people, and the commanders of the army refused to give in to each other, and no one listened to anyone's commands.

In this chaotic situation, the Alliance forces were defeated again and again in front of the combined forces of the HRE and Nicaea, until now the capital is under siege. However, the generals still refused to work together, but began to harbor their own ghosts in the face of defeat, fighting with each other, and various conspiracies and tricks began to surface one after another

In the afternoon of the same day, Cleo and her guards joined the Northern Dragon Mercenary Regiment from Giant's Port, and the group arrived at Pella.

It is a magical age megacity with a population of over one million, located on a large river island covering an area of thousands of square kilometers, consisting of seven main cities and thirteen satellite cities around it. Although Pera has been besieged on three sides, the market is relatively calm due to the heavy garrison and the historical victory. With the exception of the night curfew, the people continued to live as usual.

After Elrens and the others arrived outside the city, Cleo settled her guards and mercenary regiment in a barracks on the outskirts of the city, and then led the sea dragon Leviathan, the leader of the wolf riders, and the leader of the Theban warriors, Carlofil, into the city.

Princess Celestia's residence is not in the Grand Palace at the top of the hill, but in the Royal Academy of Magic in the southeastern city.

The crowd marched along the Avenue of the Ares in the south of the city, lined with huge statues of the monarchs of Perra. These stone statues are all mighty, with serious expressions and sharp eyes, some holding spears to the sky, and some raising swords to slash. It is as if it is always reminding the people of the glorious achievements of their ancestors. However, if these ancestors had spirits in heaven, I wonder how they felt about Pera's current predicament?

After passing through several patrols and makeshift barricades along the way, the group finally arrived at the foot of Mount Ajid, the main entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic. The Academy of Magic covers a vast area, consisting of more than a dozen branches and dozens of departments, among which the largest Elemental Magic Branch is located near the gate.

When they arrived, a large group of city defense warriors, assisted by apprentices from the Academy of Magic, were building fortifications and digging tunnels, leaving them in a cholted and dusty air. The Academy of Magic seems to have learned of the arrival of Cleo and Doshi, and sent several magic apprentices to meet them, and when they saw the two princesses stepping down from the ornate carriage, they immediately greeted them.

The first senior student bowed and saluted, "Two Highnesses, welcome back to the academy!"

Cleo smiled and nodded, "It's been a long time since I've seen Akamas, how is the situation in the academy lately?"

The student named Akamas opened his mouth respectfully, and before he could speak, Doshi suddenly shouted in surprise: "Akamas, you are Akamas? haha, I didn't expect you, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so big! I think you were so short when I left!"

As she spoke, Duo Shi smiled and reached out to her chin to gestur.

Returning to her alma mater after a three-year absence, the little princess was excited, and everything in front of her was so familiar and fresh to her. The most important students have grown up, and apart from the fortifications excavated on the periphery, the scenery around the school has hardly changed.

Strange buildings rise and fall through the verdant jungle, students stroll in groups along walkways and lakes, and the wide plaza is filled with high-ranking apprentices and junior mages practicing spells. From a distance, the magnificent city of Pera at the foot of the mountain can be seen in full view, while the Grand Palace and the Twelve Main Temples on the peak of the mountain are faintly visible between the sea of forests and the clouds......

Akamath was a little embarrassed. Like all young people, he did not like to talk about the troubles of his childhood, but the princess's words could not be ignored, so he replied helplessly: "Yes, Your Highness, I was young then, but now I have grown up...... By the way, I'm currently the president of the student council of the college!"

After saying that, Akamas puffed up his chest with a little pride, and his words successfully diverted the attention of the little princess, and Doshi immediately exclaimed: "You have become the president of the student council? Haha, you must still be a nerd like before, I remember that the president was Sister Cleo at that time, but I didn't think that you would take over now." ”

Everyone looked at Cleo with Doshi's gaze, and the eldest princess, who was depressed, took the opportunity to remind, "Okay, don't talk so much." Akamas, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Akamaston realized how rude it was that he had forgotten the question of the commander of the Central Fleet by making small talk with Princess Corinth!

Embarrassed, he immediately replied, "Ah, I'm sorry! Your Highness, you know the recent situation, the situation in the academy is not very good. Most of the tutors and students from abroad have returned to their home countries. Tutors and high-ranking students in the country usually have to go to the army to assist in defense, and during the day, only a small number of school personnel and low-cost apprentices remain in the school, and all lectures and teaching are almost completely stopped, and everyone has time to practice on their own. However, the Chief Mentor has been in his lab, and he has asked you to inform you that you will be asked to go to the lab with Lord Ellens tonight to find him. ”

"Great, so the Mentor is still here!Okay, I see!" Cleo nodded happily.

Doss glanced at Elrence suspiciously, why did the chief mentor and his old man summon Sister Cleo and this hateful fellow at the same time?

The crowd waved goodbye to Akamas, entered the Academy of Magic, and continued along the boulevard by the lake. After a while, they came to a strange seven-story building, a coffee-colored building with dozens of black oval windows, a conical spiral structure at the top and wide at the bottom.

"Welcome, this mage tower is my floating magic laboratory!" Cleo said, pointing generously to the building.

Elrence grinned, "This is your magic tower? Damn, it looks like a giant piece of poop, this taste is special enough!"

"Hah! So, it's really like it!" the sea dragon Leviathan echoed with wide eyes.

"Don't look at this magic tower with filthy eyes, you know what!"

Princess Celestia said hurriedly: "Its shape does look like excrement, but it has a history! Legend has it that Socrates, the father of the floating ship, was once hit by a large lump of dragon dung falling from the sky when he was traveling in the Anatonian continent. However, he got inspiration from it, and after years of alchemical research, he finally invented the first floating ship on Shijie, the Feiyan!

"Is there such a thing?" Elrence continued to talk nonsense while looking up and down the magic tower in amazement: "Do I always think that the shape of this laboratory is very familiar! Now I think about it, once I was driving over the continent of Anatonia, and suddenly my stomach was upset, so I pulled a lump of poop on the ground, but I didn't expect to hit an old man! Now I think about it, it is likely that the old man is the legendary great magician Socrates...... So, it was my poop that made the Swift made, and I'm the fucking father of the float ship!

Leviathan followed and coaxed: "Bullshit, you are still the father of the floating ship like you are stupid!haha, if Master Socrates was really hit by your shit, your kid would have been killed by his old man a long time ago, and you can still stand here alive? I think the old man who was hit by you back then was actually your own father, you didn't even recognize your own father, and you smashed him with shit, it's so fucking unfilial!"

Cleo stomped her foot in anger at their gibberish, and shouted in disgust, "You're not done, come in with me." ”
