When Thales finally stepped into Longxiao City, what attracted his attention for the first time was not the rugged and bold architectural style of this ancient city.
In fact, unlike the buildings built by Yongxing City relying on the city and the city wall, Longxiao City is built on a gentle **** of the mountain. The layout of the city stretches up all the way according to the mountain, which appears natural and smooth.
Similar to the experience in the Lombard Barracks, what impressed Thales was that they were vying to be surrounded by the city gate to see the crowds of Exeter in Longxiao City, who were crowded around the Star Prince.
"A prince of an empire!" A rough shout rang out from the crowd, which immediately triggered a noisy and chaotic response.
According to Putila, there should be civilians who are busy preparing for the winter, preparing to enter the city for the last time to exchange, sell, and buy.
It just made him catch up.
Thyls had to bow his head and lament.
He hasn't been so "popular" for a long time.
Although the mood of the civilians is much better than that of the soldiers, and the people in Longxiao City are not as full of disgust for the stars as the black sand collar, but the news of the assassination of the heirs of Longxiao City in the stars has clearly spread.
This caused Thales and the others to experience another wash from discussion to abuse, and even flying debris—the Exter people are more "enthusiastic" than the stars.
"If that king has a seed, don't send it..." An angry voice rang out from the crowd. Thales couldn't understand it, and was escorted away by his entourage before he heard the second half.
Only faintly heard the voice of "Let the coward come by himself", and countless approvals or refutations, sounded behind him.
"Maintain order and isolate the crowd! We need to get to the Hall of Valor as soon as possible!" Nicolai unceremoniously reprimanded his subordinates and soldiers loudly: "Anyone who collides without permission, you know what to do!"
Fortunately, there are the Blade Guards and the soldiers of Longxiao City to separate the crowd, otherwise the Star Prince will flee into Longxiao City in embarrassment.
Although it is not much worse now.
"Their unhappy expressions," Thales looked at Wiya and Rolf who were facing the enemy, and immediately sighed helplessly: "It seems like I killed their prince."
"Put yourself in and think about it," Putila said loudly in the noisy environment: "If you die in the Northland today, then Exter will send someone to Wing Star City tomorrow to apologize... I think, I probably too Unhappy expression."
Tyles gave Putila a blank look, who seemed to ignore the prediction he had just made for the prince.
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Deputy Envoy." Thales replied grimly, "If you are unemployed in the future, I suggest you go to the Western Wilderness and try your luck. Duke Falkenhaus must have a chance to talk to you. Come."
"The Patriarch of the Four-eyed Skull, is the Duke of the Western Wilderness of the "Unwelcome"?" Putila snorted: "Thank you for your recommendation."
Thyls had to snorted.
But both of them know that the real test is far from here, not on these simple people.
"Are you ready? Empire?" Nicolai's voice came from the front, with disdain: "This will be very tiring."
"What?" Thales looked up in amazement.
He soon knew why.
Longxiao City is built in layers, spiraling upward along the mountain and slope.
They had to climb all the way in the city, passing through layers of barriers separated by thick inner city gates-there are such inner city gates between each area, with seven or eight gates.
"I've heard about the structure of Longxiao City." Huaiya gritted his teeth and watched the surroundings vigilantly. "It is said that such an inner city structure is easier to defend, even if the enemy breaks through the gate of Longxiao City. The shooters on the city gates can also turn around and strike at the incoming enemies. The soldiers can block the enemy’s attacks from behind the city gates."
"Because of the slope, the invaders have to face the disadvantage of a huge costly attack."
"I dare say that this pattern helped a lot during the siege of the East Continental Army in the Third Continental War."
"So, compared to Broken Dragon Fortress, this city is no more convincing." Thales looked at the panting horses helplessly, and the noisy onlookers outside the guard line also let He was upset: "The citizens have to climb all the way for a walk-not to mention the attacking enemies."
"And the nobles also had excuses and reasons to hide in the city and shiver," Edda stepped on the stone bricks under her feet, her body was light, but she still hummed dissatisfiedly: "Let them leave the people outside the city Suffering."
"I think the first people built this city purely for military purposes, but no one thought that it would one day become the capital of Exeter." Thales glanced at the stopover. Pedestrian: "Don’t those who live here feel tired?"
"To a certain extent, this city also naturally excludes merchants. This pattern is neither suitable for business nor for shops, whether it is to transport goods or expand business-you can imagine transporting a load of firewood inside. Is the cost of the city enough to pick up three loads of firewood?" The Marquis of Schlese of Comus seems to be used to this way, but he still shook his head and said, "Of course, this is the time for us Comus people to play. "
"So the higher the inner city, the more powerful people can live, isn't it?" Thales sighed: "It's really clear and easy to understand the class division. "
Under Putila's introduction ("There should be no big changes compared to a few years ago, in fact, I suspect that there has been no big change in Longxiao City for more than a hundred years"-Putila), they are on the way Passed through many distinct areas: the shield area that looks like a slum, the hammer area where the civilians live, the sword area where the market and square are located, the bow area where there are all kinds of things, the arrow area where temples and religious sites gather, courts, The spear area where prisons and other departments are located, then to the armor area where workshops and shops are gathered, and the axe area where nobles are located.
"Why don't they build a lot anymore, called the'magic gun area'?" Thales grumbled angrily about the areas in the city that were all named after the types of weapons.
"I think, when Nekaru renamed and renovated the Dragon City, the magic gun probably hadn't been invented yet." Putila replied indifferently.
"When was the magic gun invented?" Thales rolled his eyes: "Who invented it? Why was it named that way?"
"The magic gun has been around for almost three hundred years, and the other parts are very easy to obtain," Putilai laughed as if he knew what he wanted to ask, but deliberately opposed him, "only The most important part is a strategic resource, its source...you will know it sooner or later."
"As for the naming...no one knows."
Thyls curled his lips.
Magic Gun...
Magician.
Magic energy.
Magic.
He pressed down the doubts in his heart and tried to divert his attention to the current situation.
"Well... the name the Exeter people gave to the city is really unimaginative."
"If they don’t have enough material for naming the city, I have another suggestion." Watching the mounts climbing hard, even Thales couldn’t help feeling a little tired and let out a long sigh: "Legendary Anti-Magic Armed Forces District."
"Let me say, you've been chattering since just now," Putila finally took out his pipe again, glanced at Thales with a deep look, took a deep breath and uttered the truth smoothly:" It’s because of the upcoming situation......"
"Are you nervous?"
Talston is speechless.
Damn it.
Under the gazes of the rest of the mission, Thales closed his mouth in a shame.
They finally "climbed" out of the last section of the Axe District.
No matter where he goes, the blue cross-star flag held by Genard behind Thales is the biggest onlooker of all. People crowded to watch him along the way. The soldiers who kept order in Longxiao City were overwhelmed. The natural loud voice and hot personality of the people in the North made the scene even more chaotic.
This made Thales didn't have the opportunity to observe the city of Longxiao carefully, and was escorted into the highest inner city by the Blade Guard. The city gate was closed to isolate the turbulent crowd.
Tyles frowned and took a deep breath.
He dismounted with the help of Huaiya, stepped on the rough and hard black stone bricks of the Northland, and slowly raised his head.
There is a palace in front of me.
So, that's... Thales thought blankly.
"Let me leave you here, dear Royal Highness Thales," before he had time to observe the palace carefully, the Marquis of Kormax came to him, humbly Lower your head and whisper: "You must be mentally prepared."
"As planned..."
The Marquis of Camus chuckled:
"Your Majesty Nunn, I might treat you a little..."
"Crude."
Thyls smiled awkwardly, then took a deep breath of cold and nodded.
Rough?
Of course.
The Marquis of Shreis and Nicolai looked at each other, and led Camus's men to leave in the other direction.
Just as Thales was about to look up and take a closer look at this palace, which might be the Exeter Palace, the palace door slowly opened.
A group of people from the North, who were dressed more gorgeously and neatly, but still fully armed, filed out from the palace gate.
"In the name of Exeter Raising the King, His Majesty Nunn Walton VII..."
A loud voice sounded from the group of people: "I am here to greet the guests of the stars."
"Your Majesty is looking forward to your arrival."
A man with a shaved head, describing a tough face and a cold face, pressed his lips to Thales and squinted his eyes for a few seconds before he said calmly:
"His Royal Highness, Prince of Stars."
Tyles couldn't help but feel tight.
Here it comes.
Nicolai laughed and stepped forward to hug the leader.
"Have you completed your mission, dear leader of the guard, my friend Nicolai?" the man asked softly, seemingly meaningful.
"Of course," Nicolai also said authentically: "The star prince we want is already here."
Thyls frowned.
Then, the leading slender man came to Thales and saluted him.
"Welcome to Exeter, and her most brilliant pearl-Longxiao City, His Royal Highness Thales from the stars."
Thyls remembered Gilbert's teachings and Putlai's suggestions on the road, and quickly smiled back.
"I'm Lord Byrne Mike," the slab-headed Northland man is about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a thick robe, and has a serious face: "Before he won the title, he was also a member of the Blade Guard. Member, now is the official of His Majesty Nunn, I will be responsible for your reception in Longxiao City."
"Thank you for your reception, Lord Mike." Thales nodded.
"Let me introduce to you who are here for the first time," Mike turned around with a stern face, and raised his hand to the towering palace behind him: "The residence of the lord from ancient times to the present in the North, from the time of the kings The shabby rooms in the mountains, the stone fortresses of the imperial era, and the majestic palaces of today."
"For thousands of years, it has witnessed the history of the Northland, the rise of Exeter, and the children of the North Wind and the Dragon, prosperous and prosperous."
Melke solemnly said the next words:
"The Palace of Heroes."
The Palace of Valor?
Thyls slowly raised his head.
It is a huge palace with a simple style and heavy color, a grand layout and a rough shape. It is built on the hill, and it is nearly eight or nine stories high even from the floor of the inner city on which he steps, and the construction materials are quite good. Unique-huge wood, rough stone, animal skin, metal, all stored in it, and many places are even rough polished.
Typical Northland style, powerful, bold and wild.
In front of the huge palace gate stands ten pillars more than ten meters high, supporting the towering palace roof. The pillars are carved with the stories of the heroes of the North in the past. The carving style is simple and unrestrained.
On the road from the inner city to the gate of the palace, there are eight stoves several meters high. Even in broad daylight, the fire is blazing, and it seems to be shining on the small square in front of the palace all day long.
The surrounding area is full of tall, fierce-looking White Blade Guards and the guards of Longxiao City. Unlike the well-organized and strictly distributed guards of the stars, their positions seem to be scattered and their patrols are irregular, but they are reminded by Edda Next, Thales was stunned to discover that they were "loose on the outside and tight on the inside, leaving no dead ends at all".
Compared with the creative shape, the Star Revival Palace, which is also like a half pyramid, and the palace of Longxiao City, from the architectural style to the staffing inside, it looks more like a majestic palace in the story.
The red dragon flag on the black background is flying high above it.
Floating under the national flag, there is also a banner: a dragon spear stabbed from the cloud-Walton's clan emblem, the dragon spear in the cloud.
Red and black, coupled with the natural and falling snow color, in Thales’s impression, nothing is more like a palace where heroes return.
Thyls shook his head: It's a veritable Palace of Valor.
At this moment, Thales raised his head, his eyes suddenly attracted by the top of the palace.
There is a stone bridge that protrudes from the top of the palace and volleys to another mountain.
Tyles' eyes narrowed.
It's the stone bridge.
The stone bridge leading to the cliff of the sky-"Queen of the Sky" palace.
He only noticed that at the beginning of the stone bridge, there was a huge statue, which might have been indistinct because of the vision.
That is a giant black stone statue of a male warrior.
I saw that the soldier on the statue was vigorous and majestic, holding a scary spear in both hands, neatly armored, muscular, and majestic, looking down at the Palace of Valor.
Presumably-Thales thought, from that angle, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Longxiao City.
Lord Mike, who was in charge of the reception, was very patient and waited quietly for the alien king until he noticed Thales' gaze.
"That is the stone bridge leading to the cliff in the sky, on which stands the statue of Necaru I. It was built after Necaru's death more than six hundred years ago," Mike raised his head and introduced seriously Said: "Just renovated a week ago."
Thyls's expression shrank.
That is... he looked at the heroic man in the stone statue.
The human hero of the end battle...
One of the people who defeated the disaster and defeated the magician.
The founder and first monarch of Exeter.
Neckar Ax?
The soldier on the statue was covered with snow, and his gun-holding movement was full of strength, and there was a kind of beauty full of tension.
Presumably for more than six hundred years, Nekaru looked down on his people, his land, and his country with such a firm expression and deep gaze?
Thyls nodded slightly to Mike.
A cloud drifted by, and the direction of the sun's projection changed a bit.
Looking from a distance, the expression of the hero statue of Exter seemed to instantly change from firmness to sadness.
Tyles narrowed his eyes, admiring the craftsmanship of the sculptor six hundred years ago.
Just renovated a week ago-to welcome yourself?
Unlikely.
Perhaps, the Exeters are still looking forward to the legendary dragon queen who disappeared without a trace after the end of the war, will come back to see the statue of her husband?
Visit this country that left her portrait on the national flag, and take care of the Westland Blade that she and Nekaru left with?
"The room has been prepared for you in the Palace of Heroes-this will temporarily serve as your residence during Longxiao City," Mike raised his hand to the palace gate and signaled Thales to move forward.
Thyls smiled: "Of course, thank Majesty Nunn for the hospitality."
"And you, please come with me." The expression of the slab-headed man remained unchanged, but the words he said made all the people in the Star Mission feel uneasy:
"His Majesty Nunn and the five justices are in the Hall of Heroes, waiting for your arrival."
Thyls exchanged glances with Putila.
It's started.
But just when Thales, Putila, and Edda were about to move forward, Mike raised his hand gently and stopped the thin deputy.
"Your Highness's attachés, please leave with my subordinates and go to the room for foreign guests to rest." Mike said softly.
"I don't understand," Putila stopped and looked at Mike calmly: "I am your deputy in this trip. I must follow your highness."
"I understand your duty..." Mike said slowly, without expression, "but this invitation is limited."
"This is a noble conversation, the lord to the lord, the royal family to the royal family."
"The star to Walton, and the five great families-your majesty and the five grand princes only want to see your majesty himself, just as your majesty will only see your majesty and the five grand princes."
"So, please attend alone, Your Highness of the Stars."
Tyles' face changed.
Alone... facing Nunn VII and the five grand princes?
"As far as I know," Putila said lightly: "This is not the customary etiquette between the two countries."
Although they have reached a preliminary agreement with King Nunn...
But never take the safety of the prince to risk...
The stars have eaten enough of this lesson~IndoMTL.com~This is an extraordinary period. "Melke shook his head.
"You want us to hand over the only heir to the stars, give up his protection, and leave him alone and helpless under your control?" Putila cleverly pointed out the most important key.
Behind Thales, Edda, Wiya, Rolf, and others all became nervous and unconsciously touched the weapon at hand.
Nikolai raised his hand lightly, and the Blade Guards faintly surrounded them.
"Just as you said before," the meteorite's face became paler: "You still don't have many choices, don't you, little prince?"
Tyles narrowed his eyes.
"Trust me, it's necessary." Mike stared at Thales with scorching eyes: "And speaking of isolation and helplessness, IMHO..."
"The moment you walked into the border of Exeter..."
"Isn’t you left alone?"
Thyls sighed softly.
Putila didn't speak any more.
This makes the traveler realize that his hunt with Nunn has already begun.
Okay.
Is it said that King Nunn would be very "rude"?
Thyls smiled indifferently in his heart.
Wait and see.
Thyls smiled under Putila's green face and Mike's uncertain expression:
"Okay, I can't wait to see Majesty Nunn."
Tyles turned his head, looked at his fellow travelers, and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry."
"I will be back soon."
The voice fell, and Thales stepped forward, and the small figure walked towards the palace of Valor, which was very different from Fuxing Palace, but was equally deep and quiet.
