Chapter 338 The Noble District

The Emerald Imperial Capital Lion City, a famous classical city with a long history, is one of the only three ancient cities in the human world of Parvatiga that spans three eras. Some historians once said that walking on the streets of the Lion City, Just like waving in the corridor of history, every plant and tree has become a part of history. Every time you take a step, you feel like you are seeing another page of history turning before your eyes.

In such an ancient city, architecture does not pursue luxury or novelty. The only thing pursued is simplicity, simplicity with a sense of history.

Take ancientness as beauty, take obsolescence as beauty, take vicissitudes as beauty.

The exterior walls are in ruins, the roof is incomplete, and the windows are half hung on the window frames. This is the most beautiful thing.

"I think you have subtly confused the meaning of the words old and dilapidated. Moreover, you are talking about your shabby temple. Don't apply the shameful perceptions of your Dark Moon Temple. Is it okay to do it somewhere else? Otherwise, I would be ashamed to be a fellow priest with you."

"Praise the Lord, that proves that your shame has not been completely lost. Praise Silver Moon, this is probably the only thing Lady Diana is happy about. In addition, don't believe it, I am not lying, the Lion City is like this As is customary, the more shabby it is, the more noble it becomes, like the royal palace, and the Silver Fox Duke’s residence we are going to, which is simply the aftermath of an earthquake.”

"A nuisance, a nuisance, and a bully." Dong-dong-dong, the thunderous sound was like a dull war drum. Well, in fact, it was just Safu 'gently' tapping Shuur's back, and the female swordsman lowered her head. He followed Xiu Er with his head, as always, biting his lips shyly, but the deep happiness on the raised corners of his mouth could not be hidden. As for why he was so happy, hehe, it is self-evident.Hearing Xiure's nonsense, Saff snickered and punched Xiul a few times, "Don't make fun of your grandfather's house."

"I don't think this crime is serious enough to be beaten to death." Xiu Er grinned and let out a gasp. This guy's strength is getting stronger and stronger. It's terrible. If this continues, he will be beaten to death one day sooner or later. of.However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue. The most critical issue now is. "Excuse me, Lord Priest, if you don't go to meet Lord Olanna, why are you following us here?"

"I'm happy if you take care of it." Angela turned her head and curled her lips disdainfully.

"Well, don't blame me for not reminding you. The Duke's Palace does not provide lunch for strangers who visit without an appointment."

"Do you think everyone is as shameless as you in the Dark Moon Temple? Are you still thinking about how to earn a living at this time?" Every time he talked to Shuer, he always found a way to make Angela so angry that she lost the dignity of a priest. , "Asshole, don't confuse our Silver Moon Temple with you, we are not that embarrassed."

"The Lord said that food is the most important thing for mortals." Shuer said devoutly, "So, caring about food is to be close to mortals and believers. This is what a priest should do."

"The word of the Lord is the truth." Lisa also made a prayer gesture seriously, "Praise the merciful Lord, praise the lightless moon, it is holy."

"That makes sense." Angela nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly realized after a few seconds, "No, what does this have to do with you all thinking about making a living? Besides, when did Lady Luna say Have you ever said something that a mortal would say?"

"Oh, brother, how did this idiot become smart?" Lisa moved away a few steps with horror on her face, as if she had seen some miracle, "Lord, is the end of the world coming soon? Woohoo, may the Lord have mercy, Save our lost souls in the end times, Holy One."

"Lisa, don't be afraid, don't be confused, the Lord is always guarding Pavatiga." Xiuer said seriously, "Even if there is a rare phenomenon in a thousand years, with the Lord's protection, the doomsday disaster may not necessarily come, Praise the Lord, all sufferings are tests sent by the Lord.”

"Are you two bastards done?" She was obviously a beautiful and arrogant little girl, but she was so angry that she bared her teeth and claws after a few words. "Don't forget, I still have tens of thousands of gold coins in my hand. You can give me I'll wait. When I get back, I'll come to collect the debt. Hehe, I'm here with you today just because I'm worried about you running away shamelessly, so I have to keep an eye on you all the time."

"Hey, no matter how hard you think about it, you don't worry about your brother's injury. You want to be by your side to take care of him. You have to find so many reasons. Brother, brother, this is the kind of arrogance you said."

"You asked this question the last time we had a fight! You big idiot."

"I'm warning you, this is my brother, not yours. It's enough for me to care about him. If you want to care about him, find someone else."

"I've told you so many times that I'm not worried about him. You don't understand Common Language. And do you think this is a weed on the roadside? You can find it casually."

"You can only blame yourself for being abandoned by fate. It's so pitiful. May the Lord save your miserable fate." Hum, if fate favors you, you will always meet it, right brother? The girl raised her chin proudly and held Xiu's arm. Er's arms tightened again.The four of them were walking side by side on the streets of Lion City. The two little girls were noisy and kept arguing for various reasons. Normally, they should have attracted the attention of everyone on the street. However, in fact, no one looked at them. they.

Because there are no pedestrians around at all.

This is not the bustling commercial district in the city center, nor is it the temple district where believers come and go. This is the aristocratic district that the ordinary residents of Lion City fear the most. The residences of the great nobles of the imperial capital are basically concentrated here.

The folk customs of the Jade Empire are rigid and rigid, with a strict hierarchy and a fear of authority. They are full of respect for the upper class. No matter what the upper class does, ordinary residents will actively find reasons to excuse them in their hearts, and they will not even have thoughts of dissatisfaction and resistance. This has been instinctive for thousands of years.

Therefore, the aristocratic areas of the city are like forbidden areas in the eyes of ordinary residents. They feel that they are not qualified to set foot in the aristocratic areas. It is a supreme grace for them to take a look at them from a distance. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the aristocrats No ordinary civilians would come or go in the area at all.

As for visitors from other cities?There are large mansions here, without any public facilities or commercial facilities. There is no one on the street except the soldiers patrolling and checking. No one is in the mood to wander around in such a place.

Therefore, the only people who pass by here are the nobles and the servants working in the mansion. They come and go in carriages. And like now, four people walking on the street noisily are probably rare once a year. .

On the contrary, some patrolling city guard soldiers passed by. It seemed that they originally wanted to step forward to investigate, but when they walked in and saw Saf's appearance clearly, a dozen or so of them turned [-] degrees as if they had seen a ghost. After entering the fork in the road, the steering movements were neat and smooth, not abrupt at all. Seeing this, Shuer wanted to catch up and ask why you are so skilled.

However, of course he knew why these people were so afraid of Saf. These soldiers must have been senior city guards, and most of them had experienced the events of the year.After Saf went berserk, she chased her father with a sword, from the aristocratic district all the way to the palace square, blood and flesh flew all over the way, and all those who tried to stop were either killed or injured.Afterwards, someone calculated that at least a hundred soldiers of the city guard were beheaded, and the number of wounded was several times that. After experiencing a scene like hell, it is estimated that anyone would have the same reaction as these soldiers. Who would dare to be okay? Join in and ask for trouble.

The two girls were still arguing non-stop and did not notice this scene, but they certainly could not hide it from Xiure's eyes.Xiuer patted Saf on the shoulder very affectionately, but said nothing. The matter is too complicated, and it is difficult to judge right from wrong, so there is no need to say anything, just show support with actions.

No one disturbs you, but you can enjoy the scenery along the way leisurely. The scenery in the aristocratic area of ​​Lion City is completely different from other areas.

There are no standardized and stereotyped buildings here, nor are there template-style designs and decorations. It can be said that this place is like a normal city and a beautiful scenic area.

There are neatly trimmed lawns on the roadside. Although they have turned yellow due to the season, they are still as far as the eye can see. Each lawn covers an area of ​​at least one or two square kilometers. Looking from a distance, you can see a mansion sitting in the middle of each lawn. Some have several floors of towers, some are mansions, some are reduced castles, and some have several courtyards. Each mansion is different, reflecting the personality of the host family.

The lawns are separated by rows of tall deciduous Stegosaurus trees. The delicate deciduous Stegosaurus trees are characterized by their slender and straight branches with dense and lush branches and leaves on the crown. Planted in a straight row, they are not only beautiful, but also quite neat. It's perfect to use as a barrier.Every summer, the stegosaurus tree will emit a faint fragrance of orchids. Especially at night, the elegant and mysterious fragrance quietly spreads around, adding a bit of indescribable charm to the misty night.

There are no towering walls or heavily guarded checkpoints. In this ancient and rigid city, the aristocratic district is actually full of natural charm. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with the thick and bulky buildings outside, it highlights the nobility even more. The beauty and comfort of the area.

Walking on the spacious and flat road between the lawns, the surroundings are exceptionally quiet. In the distance, the faint sound of horses neighing and dog barking comes with the breeze, accompanied by the withered yellow grass and the stegosaurus tree with all its leaves. , there is a kind of loneliness and desolation unique to winter.

When the road underfoot was about to come to an end, a piece of grassland that was much larger than other mansions appeared in front of them. The weather was not too cold. A dozen sheep were leisurely eating dead grass on the grassland, and a horse was kneeling on the grassland. Beside him, an old man in shabby clothes sat on the ground, leaning on his horse, half asleep and half awake. He occasionally waved his whip to drive away the lambs that came close to try to taste the hem of his clothes.

"We're home." Sapphire seemed like a different person, running briskly to the old man and the horse, and picked up the reluctant lamb, "Go, Shuer, don't make trouble, and don't chew grandpa's clothes. "

ha?Seul?

ha?grandfather?
