Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 76 Guntar III (2)

"Sorry, I didn't know you..." Guntar's heart sank.

"It's okay! I've never been sad because of this, because I'm surrounded by people who care more about me than them."

Calvi Camber patted him on the back, as if he were comforting Guntar.

"The well-meaning sailors adopted me and brought me up, saying that I was a blessing from the gods, and nothing happened to the ship with me!"

"Then they also took your name?" Guntar asked.

"Yes," Calvi Camber nodded. "They call me Calvi, and Campbell is the name of the ship, the Camber. So I'm Calvi Campbell."

"What a good name." Unexpectedly, there are so many stories behind this boy's name.

"Lord Guntar!" Farrow, who was wearing a leather jacket, greeted him happily.

Farrow stood near the bow with Novin Zolland, his hands on the mast, his short black curly hair bobbing as the Wanderer heaved.

"It's Starfall City! It looks bigger than Madkalin City!" Farrow looked forward.

Guntar and Calvi Camber approached them, and he looked up into the distance.

I saw a high wall of gray-white stone bricks that was higher than the three-story outer wall of Madkalin City, surrounding this grand city surrounded by the sea on three sides, and within the high wall, several towers stood tall on the hills.

The carved lines and painted murals on the walls of the resplendent church show pagan beliefs, and the gilded sun sculpture on its dome reflects the soft sunlight.

On the west coast of Star Meteor City is a busy port that is several times larger than Moon Harbor City. Hundreds of docks and docks are located along Luxi Sea. No matter how big or small, they basically look like ships that Guntar has never seen before. .

Two-masted sailboats and small galleys flocked in and out of every direction.

The crew was loading and unloading the cargo with loud yells, and soldiers wearing iron pot helmets and yellow and blue sleeveless jackets held guns in both hands, patrolling the bustling crowd on the marble road in pairs.

There are many warships of the Holy Palacis Empire on the big port. They are only a full circle larger than the surrounding ships, and they have at least a hundred oars.

Their bows have different carvings: lions, horses, giant snakes, eagles... Unlike the carvings with the star gods as the bows he saw in the Hastza Empire, the ships here do not have Wooden carvings of their gods.

"The city where all things began," Noven Zuoland murmured looking at Starfall City, "and it will also be the place where all things end."

"What do you mean?" Guntar asked.

"Karin's prophecy, haven't you heard of it, Amber Knight?"

Novin Zuoland looked back at him, the man's slender mustache was fluttering with the sea breeze, and his deep eye sockets were shining with excitement.

"The seer Carlin Apollon?"

Guntar shook his head, "The priests of Black Peak Castle seldom mentioned his story, and there is no mention of Kalin's prophecy in history books like "A Brief History of the Hastza Empire" like a taboo."

"Karin Apollion saw the future," Novin Zorland explained to him, "he foresaw the invasion of the Saverios and the riots in Starfall City."

Guntar frowned, and said suspiciously: "The Saverios attacked the Hastza Empire after the death of Carlin Apolion.

The capture of Bordina, Fortress of Storms, and the coastal cities of the Eastern Tuhoyeti continent also took place under the rule of Licher II. "

"That's because the seer's son, Licher II, didn't listen to him."

Nowen Zuoland insisted, "Karin Apolion moved his capital from Starfall City to Madkalin just to avoid the doom he foresaw.

But after his death, Licher II moved the imperial capital back to Starfall City. "

"It doesn't make sense," Guntar was not convinced, "according to the historian Ebruf Demityarid, the reason why Starfall City rioted during the reign of Licher II was completely It was caused by the collusion among the noble families in the city to instigate the dissatisfaction and hostility of the people towards the emperor.

All of this is because Karin Apollion took the royal family away from Starfall City and set up his capital in Madkalin, which caused a emptiness of power in the old capital.

This greatest city has been dominated by major families and mobs for nearly 20 years. The riots that occurred after Licher II returned to Starfall City were not unexpected. "

Novin Zuoland always told him some miraculous rumors, such as the rune paintings on the parchment they mentioned when they met, and the creation giant myth of the Demis.

Guntar wondered if there was a word in it that was not anecdotal.

"Karin Apollion predicted the end of the world, aren't we still doing well after more than 300 years?"

Calvi Campbell shrugged and said, "Even under the rule of the Holy Palacis Empire, Starfall City is still the city of the world. It is one of the wonders that people talk about. Nothing has changed."

Guntar once again looked at the city of the beginning of all things within the high wall across the sea. The towers stood tall and the buildings of red tiles and gray bricks were close together. From the temple, there was an energetic hustle and bustle.

He had read all about the great city in his books, but after seeing it with his own eyes, any written description paled.

"Wonder?" Farrow asked. "How many more wonders are there?"

"There are so many you can't count!" Calvi Campbell pinched Farrow's nose with a smile, "The thousand docks in Swan Harbor are bigger than the harbor in Starfall City!
The Cathedral of the Holy Day between Sunshine City and the City of the Believers, the Idol of Penance in the City of Atonement, the Golden Sand Temple in Aki, the Hanging Tower in Smugglers Paradise, the Monk Cartel Statue in Assald, Mowaya ·The thousand-layer wooden wall and the tree of the world in Yudu, the Ai Lankong Mausoleum in Sur Turot, the Omniscient Temple at the bottom of Axie Sa... I can’t remember the names of some places. "

"How do you know so much?" Guntar was a little surprised, he had never heard of the other places mentioned by Calvi Camber except Swan Harbor and Saint-Day Cathedral.

"It is the sea that connects all parts of the world, not the land, Amber Knight." Calvi Campbell raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly, "Those adventurers who dared to sail to distant places not only brought back rare treasures, but also their treasures. See and hear."

"So you haven't seen these places?" Guntar asked.

"I've been to the Thousand Docks in Swan Harbor, I've seen the Cathedral of Saints Day in the south of Abyss Island, and I've seen the Hanging Tower in Smuggler's Paradise countless times."

Calvi Campbell replied, "I assure you, the sights of these places are no less than the Starfall City before our eyes."

Guntar couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard the place names one after another in Calvi Campbell's mouth.

The world is vast, and the stories of adventurers are numerous, and there are countless places he has never set foot.

Calvi Camber was right in saying that the ship would sail him across the waters to see the world, and if the gods were good, he would find honor along the way.
