Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 66 The White City
"Not quite normal......" Alan swallowed, nodded, and did not speak.
The convoy moved on.
The scenery on both sides has not changed much. As Cecilis had just said, there were tall maple trees along the way. Occasionally, you can see a side road leading to other places, but the road signs are small and fleeting, making it difficult to see clearly.
After about an hour or so, the carriage suddenly turned a corner, and the maple grove disappeared.
Since the sky had completely darkened, Alan couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. But at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the front.
"Oh!"
The sound came and went, and there were other voices faintly mixed in with it.
"Krivari City!"
"Look, this is Krivari City!"
Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but feel a thrill, made the entire carriage transparent, and looked forward.
"That's what it is...... The largest and grandest city on the continent......" Alan was also stunned after one glance, barely blinking, "Crivari ......"
What kind of city is this...... It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, but the city was still brightly lit! Countless lights came out of nowhere, illuminating the whole city very brightly!
What caught my eye was two towers next to each other, towering into the sky – many times higher than the twin spires in the school. No, to be exact, they were just two buildings that looked like tall towers, and it was impossible to determine whether they were towers or not, because they were completely different from the usual towers, they were all made of gray-white boulders, and because of the distance, if it weren't for the fact that Alan noticed that the black lines on them were the gaps between the stones and the stones, they looked almost like they were carved out of a huge stone. The reason why it looks like it was carved out of a single stone is that there are several bridges between them, which at first glance look like a whole. And they are almost identical, they are all flat tops, and the width decreases in a stepped pattern from bottom to top.
"This is the 'Rainbow Tower' I mentioned to you earlier!" Riel immediately put all his unhappiness behind him when he saw it.
"Why is that the name...... Obviously, the whole thing looks gray and white. Alan said with some curiosity.
"That's because, every time it rains in Krivari, a rainbow appears on top of the two towers. Riel immediately explained that the last time he was here, he asked a lot about interesting things here.
"Oh......" Alan nodded, turning his gaze elsewhere.
Although there was a high wall around the edge of the city, he could see some of the buildings that looked like houses inside as the entire city of Krivari gradually rose from south to north. Unlike Beiya, where he has lived for more than ten years, there are mud houses everywhere in that town, and even tiled houses are rare, and the houses here are almost all made of the same stone as the two towers, and each one looks a hundred times more magnificent than the largest house of Beiya! The most important thing is that because of the uniform materials used to build the houses, the whole city looks almost white at first glance, and it seems to be spotlessly clean, which is really shocking!
"No wonder Riel only visited once and missed this place...... Allen saw a throbbing in his heart, and even had the same thought as Riel: "I don't know what it's like to live here......"
Just as he was observing the city, a bell rang and the motorcade slowly drove into the city gates.
A noise that could not be heard at all outside the city instantly rushed into his ears, making Alan a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but cover his ears, and it took a long time to finally get used to it. The wide streets were crowded with people, waving their things, and there were even many people beating gongs and drums, as if they had come to greet them. The main source of this deafening noise is precisely them.
"Welcome to my home!"
"The futures of Krivari and Hepp are in your hands!"
"Heaven bless you!
Alan heard the crowd erupting in shouts, and people clapping at them as if they were welcoming the triumphant hero.
It was not until the convoy had traveled a long way inside, and all the wagons had entered the city, that the tumult had gradually subsided, and the light had dimmed considerably.
"It's a festive atmosphere...... Alan was really shocked. Maybe the people here are too welcoming, obviously he has always liked quiet places, but he didn't have the slightest dislike for suddenly coming to such a noisy city.
"It's like this at this time of year. Riel was also excited, as if he was still reminiscing about the applause just now, "Everyone knows that a large number of students will definitely come to visit the magic school in the next few days, so they will spontaneously rush over to greet ...... Welcome to these heroes of the future!"
Riel seemed to have been infected by the atmosphere just now, so much so that he seemed a little carried away when he said these words, as if he had achieved fame by now.
"Anyway...... Where the hell are we going to stay?, an inn?" asked Alan as he looked around. At this time, the carriages driving in front had already diverged into the paths on both sides one after another, which made Alan wonder a little.
There's not as much light around here as it was before.
"No, no, no, it's a more comfortable place than a hostel. Riel smiled mysteriously and said, "Hmm...... I don't know where I'll stay this time, though. ”
"Is the place where you live different?" asked Allen, curious.
"It depends on where they take you. Riel said.
At this point, their carriage suddenly turned around and turned into a fork in the road.
Although there are magic lamps lit on both sides of the road, it seems that the magic lamps here are not very bright because they are the same brand as those used in the school.
The carriage had slowed down considerably, swaying slowly, and then stopped at the door of one of the large mansions.
The reason why it is said that it is a large mansion is that it is different from ordinary two-story houses, not only is it larger than other houses, it has a large walled courtyard, but it also has a pointed roof, which is the sign of a wealthy family.
With a "squeak", the high iron fence door opened.
"Welcome to Barto's house, children. An old man who looked lean but well-dressed stood two steps away from the door and said, "I am Fiches Norton, the butler here, and the master has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time. ”
