.Chapter 92 Two Worlds, Two Gods

Four days later, a splendid and vast city spread among several mountains

This is a metropolitan city, a real metropolis comparable to the ancient city of Xi'an, and even wider and more beautiful than the city of Aiseldelida. beautiful buildings.The thick city wall fifty to sixty feet high is like a giant snake coiling around it across the open mountains and plains. Before coming to another big city in the world.

"I. Let you see the castle on the left." Grimm pointed to a castle building in the distance, his eyes straightened in amazement: "It's at least two hundred feet high, Gods, this is a big place, North Sensano's No king can compare to it! It's so powerful. I rely on you to see so many castles like this in that city. Wow~~ I don't know what kind of noble people deserve to live in it. Wow~~ It must be very, very prosperous, dear Viscountess, you Raziraka are too rich, it is unbelievable, you are so blessed~~"

But the viscountess, who was getting more and more anxious, just smiled with difficulty: "I was not so rich before, because the sales of magic raw materials and minerals are getting better and better in the past few years, so~~ There are a lot of rich people here. And the high mage, and the governor appointed by the king are also here, one is richer than the other, so the city is constantly expanding and getting bigger and bigger. It has become what it is now. Look at that section of the city wall, it seems that it is being demolished again What about the expansion?"

Everyone looked, and they saw that a section of the mountain-like city wall about fifty or sixty feet high was being torn down, and it looked like a section had been planed off. It's frightening to see - the volume of this building is so large, there must be a large number of mages using the "stone-shaping technique" to clean it up, and they have to spend a lot of money to bless the entire city wall, making it as strong as steel and resisting the attacks of those rioters

It's all a waste of money.Everyone walked to the wide road leading to the huge provincial capital with emotion and envy. The flat ground made of bluestone made Dong Hezi feel that he had returned to the highway in the 21st century—from the city-state at the end of feudal society to the heyday of capitalism The luxurious metropolis of the period.like two worlds

What's more, on this wide road, there is a rumbling super-large structure, like a steam-age robot, walking on the ground with a "thump, thud, thud~~", the trembling ground trembles, and all the pedestrians around are panicked. Dodge, so as not to be trampled into flesh by that big foot as wide as a bed board. Even Dong Hezi felt that time and space were intertwined: What is this place?Surrounded by ancient manors and rural areas, in front of it is a huge mechanical body of the steam age, and is it a reloaded robot with futuristic fantasy characteristics?Uh~~ What the hell is this place?

The mighty structure, about two or three stories high, looks like a shrunken steel fortress, moving its slightly human-shaped coarse cloth short legs, walking back and forth between the road and the green field for adjustment.When you get closer, you can see that there are two dazzling headlights on the top of the front, like staring eyes radiating outrageous light. The thick body and shoulders are engraved with the stripes of a general's uniform, matching the uniform The steel arm that is as wide as a human bed and the huge battle ax that is about three stories high in the hand seem to be a terrifying general patrolling this fertile land.Calling people to yell in secret and back away

And this stocky 'robot' that is bigger than a mammoth is actually a middle-aged mage in the front cockpit. I saw him sitting in this open-air cockpit with a serious expression and constantly giving orders, making the construct 'boom boom' Boom~~' walked around, and finally cast a spell, making this huge and heavy thing soar up in a 'huh~~', slowly circling back and forth in the low air, as if to test its maneuverability.It happened to make way for the convoy of Dong Hezi and others.

When everyone's chariots and horses hurried past this huge thing, the countenance of the Viscountess in the car became more dignified and downcast: "Even if this kind of thing comes out, in the future~~ah~~who will want a knight in the future~~ "And without the knights, who would the nobles turn to to protect themselves?Do we have to rely on those ungrateful businessmen and cunning and unpredictable mages?

Alas~~ The old era, the old order, are those beautiful rules really gone forever?

When everyone entered the city, it was indeed very lively. There were colorful illusion signs everywhere, and the neon lights seemed to enter an ancient tourist city. On both sides were tall buildings with bright walls and exquisite window grilles. People were coming and going in front of them. There are merchants of all colors, brightly dressed people everywhere, and there are more mages in twos and threes coming and going, a vibrant scene.

Of course, differentiation is inevitable in any place. Although this place is prosperous, there is also a problem of distance and closeness-the closer the distance is to the city center, the more luxurious the buildings, the taller and taller the castle, and the brighter and rarer the magical splendor adorned on it, like a giant holding The stars in the hand stand on the ground, making people feel awe and envy.Nearby, there are mostly ordinary buildings, interspersed alleys, and even a small piece of open space full of weeds, which has a somewhat remote feeling in the suburbs.It seems that the city is divided into two worlds, the inner circle and the outer circle.

And the viscountess' hard-working husband was imprisoned in this outlying town.They hurried to the outside of a large castle-like prison, and they were allowed to enter only after they had paid gold at the stone-heavy gate.The anxious Viscountess couldn't hold back the tears of grief and indignation on her pretty face, and hurried all the way into the dark prison area deep in the castle, and saw herself unshaven in a big iron cage full of the power of the lock, like The poor husband of the homeless: "Are you okay? I'm dying of anxiety these days. I just got the money to come over now, and I'll be fine in two days. Are you okay?" She choked up and asked Cried.

But the gloomy Lord Viscount with blue eyes in the prison had no sadness on his face, and he didn't even have the joy of reunion. He just approached his elegant wife and said bitterly: "I'm okay? Do you think I'm okay these days? I finally figured it out—they are not just trying to covet my money, they are trying to kill us. Even if I get out this time, what should I do next time? They will still find excuses to lock us up again. It will be a good day in a few days"

The elegant and petite Viscountess suddenly cried with a pink face: "Then I can't stay here. It takes a day to go out. I will find someone right away. If it is fast, we can go home tomorrow." The prison full of magic power Inside, although Lord Viscount's eyes were slightly hot, he finally cooled down and felt desolate. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh~~ What's the matter? After going back, I was still worried all day long, and I don't know when I will settle accounts with me again. Such a day-to-day Hold on, when is the head? I can't take it, I really can't take it anymore." He beat the solid bluestone wall with all his might, and he looked crazy like he was about to hit his head on the wall at any time

The Viscountess, whose voice was choked up outside the cage, broke down in tears: "Do you think I can bear it? Woooooooo~~ After you left, I begged to see this and that every day, and borrowed money everywhere. They talked secretly, especially those few wealthy businessmen, who borrowed money and let out rumors to slander our family. I still have to pretend that I don’t know anything, so that others will think I am a fool. Do you think I feel better? Woooooo Woo~~" She couldn't stop covering her face and weeping, her tender white fingers were full of sad and desolate tears, soaking a lot of sleeves and collar.

In the end, I barely wiped my tears with the exquisite and delicate handkerchief that Grimm handed over: "No matter what, let's go out and find a way. The gods will always bless us~~" The viscount in the cage seems to have been subjected to certain conditions for a long time. Stimulated, the heart is also a little hard: "Gods? Chi~~ Where are the gods now? There are only two gods-one God Pelor and one God King. Huh, they want us to die"

The Viscount hurriedly stopped her and said: "Don't say such nonsense and be careful not to be heard, you won't be able to get out even if you want to go out." The Viscount in the cage turned around sullenly, and couldn't help grunting: "There's something wrong with them. Kill me and plot against us all day long, what kind of hero is he? He promised us to let the past go, but in the end he turned a corner and settled the score. If I had known it was like this, it would be better~~"

"Stop talking." The petite Viscountess outside the cage suddenly became angry: "Do you still want to go out? I have been busy for so many days just to save you. You still say such nonsense? You stay well , I’ll go find someone right away, I hope I can take you out tomorrow.” Then he said a few words of comfort and left anxiously.

Accompanied by good-hearted people such as Shandel and Grimm, she visited several castles and went to seven or eight departments, and finally found the person in charge at a young official: "This is under the control of our boss. But these two days they are holding a quarterly work meeting. The Governor has important instructions to do, and there are other miscellaneous meetings. So it may have to wait until next week."

This made the Viscountess, who was still in tears, very anxious, regardless of the other party's younger age than herself, she begged in a self-defeating manner: "Then, Mr. Conyers, can you give our materials to your superior for approval first? I I mean~~ can I trouble you to make a trip? Take the gap between meetings and meet your boss? I don’t think it will take long.”

The young Kangyes, who was a small official, didn't dare to make decisions, but after a neat box of shiny gold coins appeared in his hand, he was a little soft-spoken: "This~~needs the cooperation of our boss~~" So There was another bigger box in his hand, and the soft pleading voice of the Viscountess: "Our materials are all ready, we just need your superior's approval. It will only delay everyone's time for a few minutes. Wait." After my husband comes out, we will stay here for a week, and when you and your boss are free, we will get together and express our gratitude."

Conyes said repeatedly: "No, no, you're welcome." Then he collected the gold, got out of the castle, boarded the Viscountess's old carriage, and galloped to the center of the metropolis - where there are towering buildings. The majestic castle is as high as the giant peak in the sky, and the dignified and oppressive bluestone surface reflects bright sunlight, showing the mage's construction ability and the king's supreme majesty
