Chapter 310 Strange City
Lion City, the largest city in the Jade Empire, this ancient imperial capital that has existed for thousands of years, symbolizes the glory and pride of the Lionheart family, and the most important character and courage in the pioneering era.

More than 7000 years have passed, and the bloodline of the Lionheart family has long been severed. The royal bloodline that now inherits the name of Lion has changed several times, and has no connection with the Lion Knights of the past. But even if the bloodline is annihilated in time, the family still remains. The name remains immortal, and the thousand-year-old capital remains as glorious as ever.

The city is a regular hexagon. Streets of different lengths divide the city evenly into pieces. City walls, roads, and even every building must be kept straight on the outside. Curved lines must not be allowed unless absolutely necessary. , which makes every corner of the Lion City look very angular, but it also has a special geometric beauty.

Walking on the flat bluestone street, stroking the blue stone walls on the street, even if you don't like the Jade Empire, you have to admit that the craftsmen here are quite powerful. After all, it is not the same to build strangely shaped buildings. It is difficult, but it is not easy if you want all buildings to fully meet certain standards like the buildings in front of you.

"However, although it is neat and clean, and there are people coming and going, it is indeed very prosperous, but this city feels strange." Walking on the spacious road holding the hands of two children, Lisa looked at the surrounding business district Various shops in the store, blinking in confusion, "And is it my imagination? I always feel like I've been here before."

"Well, it's your illusion. I've never been here before. Praise the Lord. The people in this city are indeed very pious. Even when walking on the street, they never forget to praise the gods. Holy, this is indeed a city deeply favored by the gods. .”

It's not because of you, sir, can you stop making trouble.Whenever Pastor Talina felt that he was getting used to his boss's bad behavior, he would do something to tell himself that I could be worse.

For example, right now, Xiuer, who is wearing a black holy robe, is holding a book in his arms, and the holy brilliance is almost emanating from his body, causing passers-by around him to be infected involuntarily, praying and praising the gods in a low voice.Indeed, it is very harmonious and pious, but...

"Brother, you are disgusting. Take back the divine light. Even if you use magic to highlight your image in the downtown area, the people who will benefit are Wendy-sama and the mainstream beliefs in these cities. Take back the magic as soon as possible. We don't want to do useless work for them. ."

Tsk, Priest, you are so powerful. Talina felt that her heart was filled with sadness. It only took four years to twist such a lovely Lisa into what she is now.Alas, the almighty and merciful Lord, please protect Lisa from becoming like the priest in the future, holy.

"Yes, you can't work in vain." Shuer couldn't hear the roar in Talina's heart. He quickly withdrew his magic, punched it in the palm of his hand, and said seriously, "When I go back, ask Olanna and the others for it. As a reward, we have helped them improve their faith. They are embarrassed not to give some gold coins as a reward. I am not greedy, just a few hundred gold coins will be fine."

"Yes, that's right, it only costs a few hundred gold coins." That's it?hehe.Under the careful guidance of Shuer, the great Demon King Lisa may have completely missed out on the pure and kind-hearted priests. Well, there are not many priests who are truly pure and kind. "No, I have definitely been here before." Well, look at the door and windows, I noticed them just now."

"I've definitely never been here before." Xiu Er sighed, "Didn't you notice, you will feel familiar, just because the shape and layout of most parts of this city are exactly the same. Not to mention the building itself, look, the size of the signboard, The colors, even the fonts on it, are exactly the same, and the shelves inside, no matter what they sell, are placed in the same way, so you have the illusion that you have been there before."

"Yeah, it's really like that." Lisa was stunned. No wonder she always felt that something was wrong with the bustling Lion City. Shuer said that she had also discovered it. It was just like what her brother said. All the buildings, from shape to color, from From the layout to the decoration, they are all very similar. It is strange that the places you have walked are unfamiliar.The girl stared blankly at these identical buildings, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother, what's going on here."

"Haha, it's not just the buildings. Look at the people on the street, the locals."

ha?Not all people are exactly the same, that would be hell.Little Lisa was startled, and quickly observed the pedestrians around her carefully. Fortunately, fortunately, everyone's appearance was still different, and not everyone was the same template.

However, it is still very strange. Although they have different appearances, why do they always give people a very similar feeling? Is it also my misunderstanding?But the more Lisa looked at it, the more she felt that her feeling was correct, it was really very similar.

Ah, I understand, it’s the expression and temperament. These people with different looks have surprisingly similar expressions and temperaments. They are modest with a little pride, polite with a little alienation. This is the same in dealing with others, and not only for other cities. Travelers, and even the locals themselves, maintain this attitude toward each other. The same attitude is almost templated, as if it has been imprinted deep in their souls.

"Suddenly I feel very boring." Lisa slumped her shoulders. She was full of interest just now, but now her interest has waned. She muttered, "It is obviously an ancient capital that has been thousands of years old. Why is this happening?"

"Isn't this good? It's very prosperous and lively. And if you look at the streets, there are so many pedestrians, but there are not many patrolling city guards. It shows that the city is very orderly. It is simply a model in the city, much better than the City of Roses. Oh, tsk, in a place like the City of Roses, if there are not hundreds of quarrels and dozens of fights in the business district, the city guards will feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, okay, order is always good, but I always feel that cities should be colorful to be interesting. Just like life, everything is the same. Isn't this too boring?"

"You think it's boring, but their citizens feel very happy. This is the sense of rules they are proud of. Haha, not only the buildings strictly follow the rules, but also the people, the rules are the same, so slowly, People become the same."

"Huh? How is it possible? Everyone is born different."

"Yes, maybe it was different when you were born, but under the constraints of the rules, you will gradually become what the rules dictate you should be. If you want to break the rules, you will be hostile and excluded by everyone, and even directly attacked. It's impossible to live a normal life at all. In the end, either you will be assimilated by the rules, or you will have to isolate yourself from the outside world. These are the only two ways out." "Luna-sama is on top." After all, Lisa is still a little girl, I am not mature enough to understand the reasoning, "Isn't it right to have rules?"

"Whether it's right or wrong depends on what you think. For example, isn't this city pretty good? Haha, but I do think that everything must have a limit. Excessive emphasis on rules will inevitably lead to the results in front of you. All The buildings are all the same, everyone is the same, and you can’t even tell if you’ve walked here before.”

"Eh? Is this why you led a group of people in circles?"

"Ha, let me just say, my brother really went the wrong way, and he is still sophistry." Master Lisa finally came to her senses, hehe, idiot brother, you actually want to deceive the great Lisa, the Great Demon King, so I won't let you deceive me here.Um?Wait, something's wrong, who said that just now?This unique accent, this dull tone, and this skillful skill in uncovering scars, "Wow, wow, wow, brother, where is my axe, I want to cut wood!"

"Hey? Why are you hurting the forest? Plants are very cute, don't hurt them casually. It's scary, but luckily I'm just a deer, not a tree, otherwise I would have been chopped down."

"Hey, Moria, how long have you been following us?" Xiuer rubbed his forehead with a headache. He was indeed the top hunter in the forest. His stealth skills were so good that even Xiuer didn't notice.

"Well, probably since you bought the first Solan caramel for Lisa, and then deliberately hid the two extra ones, which made the two little guys cry in embarrassment. It wasn't until Lisa spoke that you pretended to go again. It started when I bought two of them." Moria came out from the corner of the street, jumped to Shuer, and said cheerfully, "No, to be precise, it should have been when you were holding the candy stick. The color, taste and taste have been degraded to the clarity, and in the end, the shop owner gave you five copper coins less."

"Wow, brother is so awesome. This can save five copper coins."

Alas, Lady Lisa, you are a priest, you shouldn't care about it like this.Talina drew circles on her chest. She felt that Shuer's appearance was simply a test of her faith by the Lord.

"Well, that time has come." Shuer was not embarrassed at all, as if this is what a good priest should do, "Why didn't you come out earlier?"

"Because it's fun to watch you run around in circles, especially when you pass by here for the third time." Moria pointed to a few buildings nearby, "You pretend to be calm on the surface, but behind the scenes you look so suspicious of life. It’s interesting, hey hey, the guy who has been following you secretly in the corner just now is the victim of the authoritative rules. The guy you told her these words almost couldn’t help but come out to be your guide. Fortunately, I stopped him in time. , It’s so risky, so risky, so what, I’m awesome.”

"If you hadn't run too fast and couldn't catch up with you, I would have gone over and beat you up." He rolled his eyes angrily. Xiure didn't bother to pay attention to this stupid deer who was keen on teasing him, and waved at the corner of the street. He waved, "Come here, stop hiding."

A gust of wind blew by, and Xiure felt that there was someone behind him, hiding in his back.

"Pa", he slapped the right place with his backhand skillfully, "You guy, didn't I tell you to go back first? Why are you still guarding the door?"

"I'm not worried." Safu's voice was still so shy, "You specifically asked me to go back. I know something must have happened."

"Then you should be with Dak." Shuer thought of his previous arrangement, "Where did that idiot go?"

"He said that there hasn't been a fight yet, so there must be nothing wrong with him, so he went to drink by himself, accompanied by someone he didn't know. I didn't want to go, so I stayed here to guard him."

"Tsk, this inactive bastard." Xiuer was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "Let's go find him, I'm going to deduct all his pay."

　I am actually a very stubborn person, so I will only refer to opinions and will not accept them in full.

　　I have actually read every book review you have and every chapter you have written. I just laugh at some opinions because I have my own considerations, but I must take some opinions seriously because they are right.

　　I did find a problem this time. Starting from the middle of the first volume, the pace became slower and slower, and it seemed to have returned to the old path of the late Yala.So I’m also reflecting on how to find a balance between everyone’s rhythm and my own.Starting from the next chapter, I will try to make some improvements, and I hope you can give me more opinions.
