Juliana’s workshop Chapter 41: Residents of King’s Castle


  Following Luluunaka’s directions, he drove the Whimsy to the north of King's Castle. There were several squares, large and small, on the road, which opened his eyes to Julius. The towers that seemed to be soaring into the clouds, and the statues standing in the square, all opened his eyes, and he couldn't wait to get closer, wanting to touch those existences. It's just that those towers didn't look like the people waiting to get in. There were always guards patrolling nearby, and those riders wearing armors and robes on horses didn't look like they were very talking. Even now, Julius still feels a little afraid of those who are riding on the horse, because the look in his high eyes makes people feel pressured. As for the statues, they seemed to be approachable, but Whimsical would not stay in these places, which gave him no chance to get close to the magnificent statues.

   To say something that attracts people's attention, we don't want to give up too much. On this road, although there are not many people waiting to enter the city near the city gate, it is not much different. Most of them are local residents. The citizens of these Kings Castle looked at this peculiar existence with various eyes. These gazes made Julius feel a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing wrong with it. He didn't feel malice, but he didn't have any kindness, only a strong sense of strangeness.

  On this road, Julius asked Lulunaka for these gazes, "Those people's eyes are very strange."

   When I heard Julius’s question, Lulunaka rarely had an obvious reaction. Usually, she didn’t bother to answer Julius’s various naive-sounding questions, “What a strange method? "She raised her head and asked with a look of interest.

   Julius was following the side of the Whimsy, looking like an apprentice errand runner following a carriage. He touched the back of his head, thinking of the gazes of the residents who had just passed by, he always felt a little hairy in the back of his head. "I can't tell how it feels, but I always feel it's not very comfortable."

   "What does it feel like staring at you?" Lulunaka continued to ask, "Tell me this first. If you can't say something clear, then don't ask me."

   Julius struggled for a long time, and finally thought of a metaphor he could think of, "It feels like... being stared at by a group of red-eyed rabbits."

   When he said this, Julius lowered his voice. After saying it, he felt that his description was a bit inappropriate. It sounded like an insult. So he looked at Lulu Naka with a slightly disturbed expression.

   Hearing what Julius said, Lulunaka did not show any anger, but looked a little happy. "This is an interesting statement." She turned her head and looked at Pasta, "What do you think How, is this rabbit metaphor appropriate?"

   "Why are you asking me?" Pasta said.

   "I can't find a local resident to ask if this metaphor is appropriate?" Lulunaka smiled, "This is too rude. Asking someone who is also an outsider, I think it's more objective Right?"

   "Can I not answer this question?" Pasta said.

   "Of course, this is your freedom." Lulunaka did not continue to ask Pasta's meaning, "Then I will take this as the default."

   Pasta didn't mean to refute. Lulunaka turned to Julius again, "This analogy is still good, much like the mentality that the residents of this place should have. Since they are all rabbits, then why do they look at you with strange eyes--or, Looking at us outsiders?"

   Julius wanted to ask exactly this, he quietly waited for Lulunaka to continue.

   "Because they are afraid." Lulunaka said, "Since the birth of the King's Castle, they have rejected everything from outside. For them, outsiders mean disputes and even wars. At the beginning At that time, they were lions, entrenched in the east, arrogant to everything; then, they were wolves, guarding their own territory, and whoever dared to come over would bite off their flesh and blood; then, they were poisonous snakes, eroding everything around with their venom , In order to protect their own little place; in the end, they are rabbits with only two fangs, so weak that they are laughable."

   Julius listened to Lulunaka's words, and he was confused, he seemed to understand, and it seemed that he did not understand.

   Lulunaka just smiled, and didn’t care that she was playing the piano to the cow, "Don’t understand? It’s okay, you will understand it soon. As long as you stay in King’s Castle for a long time, even stupid people will do Have their own feelings."

   Julius was dubious, but he couldn't continue to ask. He felt that if he kept on asking Lulunaka, he would be the one who claimed to be boring. He returned to the top of the carriage shed and lay down. Although he closed his eyes, he didn't have the slightest sleepiness. He was thinking about various things in his heart.

   After Julius returned to the top of the carriage shed, Pasta said: "Do you hate the residents of King Castle?"

  "A group of arrogant fools thought that they were still alive hundreds of years ago, dreaming that they were still the center of the world. The glory has long passed, and they can’t catch even a little light in their hands, but they think that they are awkward. Hui." Lulunaka replied, "Tell me, is this stupid and ridiculous, or is it pathetic?"

   Pasta was silent for a long time before giving an answer, "I think it’s stupid and ridiculous, but it’s pathetic and pathetic."

  Lulunaka smiled without any scruples, looking like an innocent and lovely girl who has encountered happy things.

   When the afternoon sun became milder, Pasta steered the Whimsy to the north of King's Castle. If Julius is dazzling and uncomfortable at seeing what he sees along the way, this northern part gives people another feeling. The main road divides the northern and southern parts from west to east, and more people appear in the field of vision. The buildings are clustered together, and the houses and shops are mixed together. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a business place or a place. Folk house. The feeling here is completely different. The people here didn't look at Julius with that disturbing look. Everyone looked in a hurry, as if there was a lot of work to do, which made them look rather cold.

  Wonderful Thinking could not squeeze into the small road left between the buildings, and could only continue westward on the side of the big road. The Whimsy naturally attracted the attention of many people. Barefoot children came up to ask if they needed a guide, but they were all driven away by Pasta with a copper plate or two~IndoMTL.com~ They knew We are new here. "Pasta said to Lulunaka after driving away another kid who came up: "This means everyone in the diaspora will know that we are new here." "

   "We will not be new soon." Lulunaka said, "Relax, we have nothing that can be deceived... Oh, my precious materials are still worth a lot of money. Be careful not to be stolen by some bastards." Lulunaka thought for a while, then went on, "Speaking of which, for me, which side is the newcomer, this is also a question to think about. ."

   Lulu Naka asked Pasta: "Where are the people in the expatriate area now the main body? Are they from the Republic of Vis, Geya or Gania?"

   "No one is dominant." Pasta said, "There are more diasporas in the Republic of Vis, but on the other side of the north, there are the towns of the Jeyans and the King’s Fort. What a sound, but it was not ignored."

   "The people who had beaten their heads in the past are now living together happily, which is touching." Lulunaka smiled, "Mr. Edgar, where are you from?"

   "I'm from a place further west." Pasta's answer was short, and he didn't seem to be willing to talk about himself. Lulunaka did not continue to question.

   At this time, another barefooted child approached, "Sir, do you need a guide? I am familiar with this place, whether it’s a place to rest or drink, I’m very familiar with it. If you want to see something interesting As for things, I can take you there too!"

   Pasta was going to drive away the child, but Lulunaka spoke first, "Interesting thing? I just thought of one. Is there any haunted rumors around here?"
