Plane Travel Guide

St. Nicholas's city walls are mostly constructed of continuous bluestone bricks, and there are also huge long strips of granite stones piled inside.The height of the city wall is more than ten meters, which is particularly majestic and magnificent.

After all, on the earth in later generations, such ancient buildings are almost no longer seen.Even the cities in many film and television cities are piled up by modern industry, and there is no similar classic.

From Tang Shaozhe's visual inspection, the city wall of St. Nicholas seemed to enclose the entire city.Therefore, the length of the city wall is very long, but it does not seem to be a very regular quadrilateral city.

There are many knights in armor patrolling the city wall, and towers and arrow stacks can be seen not far away.But the sky had already darkened, even if Tang Shaozhe had good eyesight, it was inconvenient to look up again.

Obviously Tang Shaozhe was still very interested in observing under the unclear light. He would probably be caught and tortured by the patrolling guards as spies?At times like this, it's better to have one thing less than one thing more.

Tang Shaozhe walked in along the small gates on both sides of the city gate, and crossed the rather wide suspension bridge and moat - the guards at the city gate here were obviously much more relaxed than those who closed the hot spring just now, and the number of them was also smaller. role of a sentry.

The time and distance when passing through the city gate allowed Tang Shaozhe to roughly judge the width of the city wall, which was about five or six meters.Based on this alone, it can be seen that the Principality of Sika spent a lot of money to build this city wall.

But for Tang Shaozhe, this is the first time he has come to this western-style town full of medieval classical charm.

Although I have seen some places with similar styles in many film and television works before, it is the first time that I have such a close contact!Tang Shaozhe, who was quite interested, couldn't help observing carefully, as if a country bumpkin had entered the city.

But his appearance fell into the eyes of caring people, but he felt normal.After all, St. Nicholas is considered an important city in the southwestern part of the continent, and the people here have long been used to the shocked expressions of visitors from afar.

In a period when the development of the entire southwestern part of the mainland was relatively backward, it is conceivable how outstanding a big city like St. Nicholas is, even if it is not necessarily inferior to several famous metropolises on the mainland.

And the reputation of "Sacred Relic Heights" is quite resounding even in the whole continent. I don't know how many beautiful poems and moving music have been born from it.At the same time, the number of people living here is as high as 10 or more is the best proof.

It is really rare to find a large city with 10 people living in all the places in the whole continent.Every resident of the Sika Principality of St. Nicholas is extremely proud and proud of this.

After entering St. Nicholas, the first thing Tang Shaozhe discovered was that the ground was also covered with the same bluestone slabs as in the hot spring pass, so the road looked much cleaner and cleaner than the outside.

But this level of cleanliness is also limited, and it must not be compared with the industrial civilization of later generations.

However, compared to the icy steel forests of industrial civilization, the various greenings in cities in the era of agricultural civilization are much better.

This is not an additional auxiliary greening layout in the era of industrial civilization at all, but it is naturally left in the city and coexists with the surrounding buildings, which is relatively harmonious, and there is no trace of man-made carvings at all.

There are not many pedestrians on the street anymore, and a few pedestrians come and go in a hurry.After all, in this cold winter, this time should be the time to stay at home and eat by the fireplace.

The passers-by are all low-level people who have to work overtime or have just finished work because they work too late.

The few firewood or carbon bearers who came into the city with Tang Shaozhe just now also hurried home.For them, today's harvest is the capital that will be exchanged for the needs of life tomorrow.

The street is relatively cold, and there is not much light. Overall, it looks a bit gloomy and dark.

This is far worse than the earth in the era of industrial civilization, at least Tang Shaozhe is not used to this style.That is, when he was in Daming, he had tasted this kind of taste.Afterwards, with his development, even Da Ming was almost as dark as day.

Suddenly returning to this kind of living environment is really a bit uncomfortable.But Tang Shaozhe quickly put aside these boring thoughts and began to look for a suitable place to live for the night.

As a newcomer, he always had to find a suitable tavern or hotel to settle down first, and then slowly tried to find a way to get mixed into the cathedral of the Longevity Sect.Now it's dark in front of his eyes, he doesn't even know where the Longevity Church's church is!

The street is now completely dark, and occasionally a little light can be seen from the windows of the rooms on the side of the road, but it is relatively weak and limited.Compared with the lights, the moon and stars in the sky are more suitable for lighting.

But today's sky is full of thick dark clouds, and the moon and stars are not visible at all.Therefore, it seems that the streets in the city are getting darker and darker.If it weren't for Tang Shaozhe's good eyesight, maybe he would be running around like a headless fly now.It is precisely because his vision is not affected by the light that it does not look like he is here for the first time.

He cleverly avoided any rubbish on the side of the street.According to experience, taverns or hotels at night should be brightly lit, at least much more conspicuous than other places.

Just after entering the city gate, the area he was in was considered an outer city, and the people living there were all relatively poor families.

Many of the surrounding houses are thatched cottages, and a few of them are all wooden houses, which are particularly dazzling.There is also a lot of garbage on the ground, and there are many frozen roads filled with sewage.

At Tang Shaozhe's side just now, I also saw several people walking over in a hurry and accidentally slipped and fell.

But Tang Shaozhe was obviously different from these people. He walked on it lightly, as if he was completely weightless.

Whatever obstacles lay beneath his feet seemed to have no effect on him.It seems that his footsteps are not too fast, but his actions are extremely agile.Whenever people are not paying attention, he has gone a long way.

And as the road into the city goes further and further, there is much less garbage and sewage on the road.The thatched huts on both sides of the road gradually turned into small wooden huts, and a few stone huts can be seen occasionally later.

However, the various paths in the city of St. Nicholas are winding and winding. If you have never been here before, walking in the dark is very easy to get lost and you can't tell the direction.But for Tang Shaozhe, this impact is almost negligible.

Although it was his first time here, after all, everything in front of him was clearly seen.As long as he keeps walking along the main road, Tang Shaozhe believes that he will not get too lost.

After all, in any city, places like taverns and hotels will always be next to the main road to bring business and commercial activity.Sure enough, Tang Shaozhe did not meet his expectations. After walking for a while, he really saw a big lantern hanging outside the door—this is usually an international symbol, which proves that this place should be a public place.

Tang Shaozhe, with a smile on his face, straightened his clothes lightly, then walked towards the place where the big lantern was hung with his head buried.

As far as the surrounding environment is concerned, this is really not a very noble area, so this should not be a noble mansion.From Tang Shaozhe's understanding, the common people seemed to think that no one would be generous enough to hang lanterns outside the door.

Sure enough, before and after Tang Shaozhe came to the door, he saw a tall flagpole erected at the door, with symbols of knives, forks and wine pots flying on it-this is enough to show that this place may be a tavern.

Before Tang Shaozhe pushed open the door, he heard all kinds of noisy sounds coming from inside: shouting, eating and drinking, teasing and various clashing sounds of pushing and changing cups.

This is a building that is not entirely made of wood, and there are foundations and walls piled up with various stone materials around it. It seems that only the upper part of the building is completely made of wood, superimposed on the lower floor.

From the outside, the building is about 2-3 storeys high. Even from the crack of the door, you can see the blazing lights inside, which are more dazzling, and various figures of different heights appear on the panes. shaking.

When Tang Shaozhe raised his head, he saw the words engraved on the signboard - Traveler's House, it seems that no matter it has the function of a tavern, it also bears the responsibility of a hotel.If you think about it carefully, it seems that many industries in this era are still relatively complex.

Later generations also followed the meticulous workmanship of the industrial age, and gradually made various industries more and more specialized and refined.

After shaking off all the things in his mind, Tang Shaozhe reached out to the door and pushed open the two huge door panels.

In the next moment, all kinds of noises and lively scenes came into view.Of course, it is also inevitable that the heat that hits the face immediately makes people feel the coldness on the body disappear.

On winter nights, usually the people who should come at this time have already arrived at the tavern, and there are usually fewer late guests like Tang Shaozhe.So as the store door was pushed open, all eyes in the tavern immediately gathered.

"Haha, good evening, everyone!" Tang Shaozhe took off his hat without any fear, and bowed gently towards the inside.

Seeing that the visitor was just a long-distance visitor, most of the original gazes disappeared immediately, and the voice that had been temporarily stagnant just now returned to normal: "Drink and drink, Bahar, you have lost!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How did I lose just now? Don't think that I can't see your movements clearly after drinking a few cups!"

"Honey, I think we can go upstairs to exchange each other's body temperature. You know that in this cold season, I always want to find a man who can warm my cold heart to enrich my body!"

"I think you seem to be more willing to find a man who can enrich your wallet? I have to say, Elsa, you have found the wrong person! There is no good business these days, and I actually don't have much money."

"Hey hey, listen to me guys, I heard that ogres recently appeared in the Horace Forest in the northwest of the Artison Mountains, and it seems that many victims have appeared. Although His Royal Highness sent the Knights Going, it seems that the effect is not good."

"Well, I've also heard the news. It is said that His Royal Highness has requested support from His Excellency Bishop Claire Latin & Alcott of the church. Perhaps the church will soon send elite forces to join forces with the divine protection knights to eradicate the enemy."

"You must have heard of it? The Viscountess Carlisle has had a new scandal recently. It is said that she caused a big disturbance in Bell Springs outside Thermopylae Pass. The little boy was directly beaten to death by her! "

"Hey, the key point is that the little boy this time is not without background. It is said that his surname is Harold, you know!"

"No? His surname is Harold? So, does he have anything to do with Truman and the Great Knight Harold?"

"Ha, let me tell you! That little guy who died is the nephew of His Excellency Truman. Everyone has known for so many years that His Excellency Truman has no heirs at all, and it is said that the one who loves him the most is his nephew." In the future, it seems that this guy is planning to inherit his knight collar and all the glory of Harold's family! Now it's so good, he died, oh..."

"Hmph, the point is that such an infamous death is a bit too embarrassing for His Excellency Truman!"

All kinds of comments in the tavern poured into Tang Shaozhe's ears like the wind, and the complicated information filled with them was immediately passed on, which also gave Tang Shaozhe a preliminary understanding of St. Nicholas.

At this time, a rather light female shop assistant came over with a charming smile, and raised her hand to help Tang Shaozhe take off the hat and the piano case behind her: "Hi, guest from afar, hello! Welcome to Traveler Home, this is a wise choice! My name is Lisa, what service do you want?"

Tang Shaozhe handed the hat and the piano box to the female shop assistant without any notice, with a familiar expression as if he had known her for a long time.For the clerk, it just proved that the visitor had spent a lot of time wandering around and knew the rules.

"Well, it's my first time here, so I don't know what to introduce? You know it's cold outside now, and I need something that can warm me up quickly. Maybe beautiful Miss Lisa, you can provide me with help!"

"Of course, it's freezing cold outside today. Experienced hunters say the snow may not be falling until tomorrow. I think a jug of warm ale and a plate of delicious chicken nuggets would be wisest at such times." As you know, there are the most famous snow chickens in the Addison Mountains. This season is when they are at their fattest."

After taking Tang Shaozhe's hat and piano box, the very ordinary-looking female shop assistant was extremely enthusiastic.As a well-informed woman, she can tell that the material of this hat is definitely not ordinary just after taking over it.This means that its price is not ordinary.

The guests who can own such a top hat are generally not too stingy.If you don't bring out the most expensive dishes in the tavern, how can you be worthy of the taste of the guests?Of course, customers who can order signature dishes will definitely have generous tips.

Sure enough, before her words finished, Tang Shaozhe had waved his hand and popped out a shiny silver shilling: "Very good, I really like Miss Lisa's warm recommendation, so let's do it! Extra money , as a tip for you."
