Chapter 105 The Holy City
Satuba is the largest market in the desert, but its population is not particularly large.Not only that, there is no huge city wall at all, and the guards are not very strict.

"Aren't these people afraid of being robbed by sand robbers?" Zhao Feng looked around and said.

Afra said: "This is the pearl of the desert. Anyone who wants to disrupt the order here must accept the anger of all the sand people. Even those sand robbers, it is said that they will sell the looted things." Sand robbers They robbed a lot of things, and many of them couldn't be used by themselves. They could only be brought to the market and exchanged with other merchants for some supplies and the like.Of course, these people are all disguised and will not use their real identities to come here to do business.

Compared with the others, Aphra is the one who is more familiar with Satuba among these people.

"Moreover, most of the people living here are homeless people, and very few people stay here all year round. Except for the garrison in the city, other sand people are not allowed to live here."

"So that's the case. No wonder there are tents here, and few buildings are seen." Hearing Afra's words, Zhao Feng realized this.

Maria looked at this place with an expectant look and said, "Unexpectedly, this place is quite good. If we build a church of the God of Light here, we will definitely be able to attract many believers."

When Aphra heard what Maria said, she showed a nervous expression and said, "You must not do this. The people here believe in the words of the scholars of the Holy City, and they will not believe in the so-called God of Light at all." .If you preach here, watch out for trouble."

"What holy city?"

Hearing Afula's words, Zhao Feng showed a puzzled look.

Afra said: "The holy city is what you call a school. There are many learned people enshrined here. All the people in the desert can send excellent people to study. These saints, I usually stay in the holy city, study classics, and never step out of the holy city for the rest of my life."

"There is still such a place, take us to see it!" Zhao Feng said with great interest.

Aphra heard the words and said, "It just so happens that I have a good relationship with the elders in the holy city. These days, we can go there for a night, and we don't need to live in a tent."

Although there is nothing serious about living in a tent, but sleeping in the wild, the humidity is very heavy, plus mosquitoes and dew, it is far less comfortable than living indoors.

"Well, let's go and have a look!" Zhao Feng happily said to Bernice and the others.

Maria was a little dissatisfied and said, "Just a poor place here dares to be called a holy city. I'd like to see how many powerful people there are here."

Bernice heard Maria's words and said, "Don't underestimate these people. There are many learned people in this holy city. It is said that all the businessmen in the desert once lived in The holy city listens to the teachings and learns knowledge. If your words are spoken in front of outsiders, it may cause trouble."

Bernice had read information about this desert holy city, and the evaluation of this place was unfathomable.Generally speaking, the intelligence system of the empire rarely used such words to describe a place.

Even Mali, the city of mercenaries, has the same evaluation as the holy city.You know, the city of mercenaries is one of the most powerful forces on the mainland.

Aphra said: "However, some incense money is needed to enter the Holy City. Based on the head count, it is estimated that we will have to pay several thousand gold coins, which is a large sum."

"Is there a fee to go in?" Hearing Afra's words, Maria was even more puzzled and said, "Aren't those people all practitioners who hide from the world?"

Afra said: "Cultivators also need to eat! Although most of the scholars there have profound knowledge, they haven't reached the point where they don't need to eat."

"It doesn't matter, a few thousand gold coins is just a few thousand gold coins, let's use it as our accommodation fee." Although it hurts a bit, Zhao Feng still generously satisfied Afra's request.

Under Afra's leadership, Zhao Feng and the others came to a huge palace-like place.Here, most of them are made of stone, with various fine patterns carved on them, which look very gorgeous.The traces of vicissitudes on these stones seem to indicate the long history here.

"Sure enough, it's magnificent." Zhao Feng knew that building such a huge building on a desert oasis would consume unimaginable manpower and material resources.

Looking carefully at these buildings, Zhao Feng even noticed that these buildings are very delicate, not only in line with aesthetics, but also very scientific, in line with the principles of modern mechanics.

Whether it is the stone pillars or the dome here, there is nothing superfluous, and they are very strong.

Although Zhao Feng is a layman in architecture, he still sees the value in it.Even if it is replaced by a famous modern designer to construct the sketch, it is not necessarily better than this building.

On a stone in front of this palace, several huge desert characters are written.Thanks to Afra's hard work these days, Zhao Feng also has a general understanding of the characters in the desert.

"knowledge is power."

On the big stone tablet, there are these big characters written, but the name of the person who wrote it was not left.A simple sentence, but very shocking.

Seeing this sentence, Zhao Feng seemed to think of the world he was in before, the world where knowledge was the first.

Looking at the pattern here, Zhao Feng looked forward to it even more.He found that the architectural pattern here, like a university, is very humanistic.

At this time, Aphra changed from her previous lively and unruly style. After getting off her horse, she respectfully bowed to the stone tablet, then touched the big stone tablet with her forehead, then tidied her clothes, and said to Zhao Feng and the others. : "Okay, come in with me. Remember, be respectful."

Under the leadership of Afula, Zhao Feng and others followed her and marched towards this legendary holy city.When he walked into the palace, Zhao Feng realized how huge and vast it was.

In this hall, there is a huge space, the area is about the same as a National Grand Theater.Inside, there are many seats and corridors.

Everywhere, there are people with parchment or pens writing and recording something in the reader.These people are dressed in long robes, have gentle manners, and fair faces. They look like a gentleman, and they should all be scholars.

"I'm back, brothers!"

Aphra happily rushed into the hall, and shouted at these people: "You welcome me!"
