Chapter 378 (1/2)
The gate of the castle is only a symbolic tax collection. In fact, the investigation is not very powerful. People who look like dignitaries or poor people can enter the castle at will. After entering the castle, Zhou Yi found that the castle is really prosperous. Of course, this prosperity is not the same level as that of the earth metropolis. At least in this ancient castle, there are people everywhere, which has explained the status of the castle.
Although Zhou Yi constantly challenged and fought with the demon family experts in his last life, it was the first time that he really entered the demon world. Unexpectedly, the demon world was not the bad environment in his impression, but more like the human world. There were cities and traffickers, and the flower world was almost the same.
With the guard leading the way, several people crossed the crowd and walked into a remote alley. Far away from the bustling streets of the North-South passage, the narrow alleys seem too crowded. However, the end of their journey is not in the alley, but crawling upward along the artificially paved stone steps.
It should have been a hill in front of us, but it was artificially dug out and turned into a city. Along the mountains gradually rising above sea level, there are large or small houses and houses. Gradually higher vision, you can see the dense houses below. The more upward, the more houses covering a wide area. At an altitude of about 50 meters, there are only a group of buildings formed by dozens of houses of various styles. Those small and narrow houses are listed at the bottom like small lattices.
When you look up, you can clearly see the huge buildings at the top, which are similar to temples or palaces. It was a huge building supported by huge columns. The feeling of condescending oppression made people's hair dull, and even several people's footsteps became a lot dull.
”Man, this guest is really distinguished.”
”Of course, brother Pingqiu, can I introduce you to a bad buyer?”
”Who can reveal some information?”
”Hey, hey, you don't know, but it doesn't hurt to tell you. Lord Liuyun cankong, you should know? This guest is very familiar with Lord cankong.”
”Ah, yes?”
Looking at the shocked expression on Pingqiu's face, Zhou Yi knows what Liuyun cankong must be a great character even if he is an idiot.
At an altitude of about 70 meters, several people finally stopped. In front of us is a tall courtyard. The height of the courtyard wall alone is 5 meters away. This wall is not only the enclosure of the courtyard, but also has crenels. Connecting with the surrounding courtyard walls is a natural fortification. At this time, Zhou Yi noticed that every 10 meters or so, the courtyard walls can be used as a maze like fortification, firing cold arrows from the crenels, or moving soldiers. Although I know a lot about war defense in the cold weapon era, the ingenious defense castle in front of me is far beyond Zhou Yi's imagination.
If the enemy attacks from bottom to top, the enemy will face the attack from the commanding heights. Just throwing stones at people from above will probably cause heavy casualties to the people crowded in the narrow roadway.
The two vermilion painted gates in front of us are painted with a picture of making dragons play with the clouds, one is the dragon head and the other is the dragon tail. The charm of the Dragon seeing the head but not the tail is incisively and vividly expressed in the color painting. The guard gently knocked on the bright copper door ring, and the lower edge of the door ring was also covered with copper, so it made a very clear sound.
”Who?” an old man asked in his voice.
”I'm the old thirteen of the third guard team of urban defense. Is that chief steward Yu?” after a pause, the guard raised his voice and continued, ”I've brought good goods to my wife. My wife will like it.”
”Oh, wait, I'll open the door first.” after a while, a very staggering step slowly approached the gate. The vermilion door was slowly opened in the ”squeak”. The old man with gray hair put his head out and scanned several people in front of his eyes. Zhou Yi's eyes keenly felt that the old man's yellow eyes had a piercing sharpness, especially when he stayed on himself. It was very uncomfortable, as if he had been stared at by some dangerous animal.
”This is what you call a good thing? I think it's very common. But today is the first day here. Let's put it here first.” the old man's words are like an order, no doubt.
The razor quit first. ”Old man, do you want to swallow our goods? Don't ask about our brothers...” the following words were blocked by the mage next to you.
”Old man, my brother can't speak. Please forgive me. This is a baby, which we picked out from the dead of the war.” Pingqiu quickly explained.
