Chapter 697 (1/2)
The next morning, Donne and his party came over the capital of the kingdom of solant.
Chant city.
The chant city is located in the hinterland of gujiar mountain as a whole, which is very similar to Tarris. The whole city is backed by gujiar mountain in the north, and the semi arc high city wall surrounds the whole city in the south.
The whole hymn city covers a huge area, completely occupying the hinterland of Mount gukar, and the number of internal residents has reached one million - a very great number in prandal today, and no worse than that in alinks.
In Donne's opinion, the planning of hymn city is quite unreasonable, which is very unfavorable to the future development planning of the city. The city is built in the hinterland, which limits the future development direction of the city.
However, in the eyes of the local people in prandar, this is the most time-saving, labor-saving and safe construction method. Leaning against the mountains can reduce the probability of being attacked. The mountains have become the natural city wall of the city. At the same time, it also reduces the amount of work and a lot of capital consumption for building the city wall.
”Although our hornheim family has a stronghold in the hymn City, generally only the person in charge of external contact lives here, and most family members live in our own territory in the north.”
It was the first time Edward looked down on the hymn city from a high altitude. Looking down from the sky, the original brilliant hymn city looked very small, and the disadvantages of urban planning were at a glance.
The most neat and beautiful areas of the whole city are completely concentrated in the inner urban area of the city center, and the exquisite degree of architecture decreases from inside to outside. To the outermost area, it has completely become a dilapidated slum.
Of course, the buildings near the main avenues, even in the outer city, were built beautifully, perhaps to satisfy Klein's vanity?
”Klein is a very ambitious king.”
Angus stared at the castle in the inner city and said, ”I've seen him once. He made an offer that people can't refuse to win me over.”
Donne smiled. ”Why did you refuse?”
”Because my power is not used to satisfy a king's selfish desires.”
Angus shook his head and said, ”I can't achieve what I am now without the guidance of the gods and the support of the elves. If it's not... Forget it, it's all in the past.”
Angus sighed again and skipped the topic: ”do you know King Klein?”
”No contact.”
Donne's eyes narrowed slightly, so that Angus couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment: ”but his ambition can be seen from the name of the city.”
”Hymn city...”
Angus muttered to himself.
As we all know, in the human kingdom, the believers of the Holy See of light occupy an absolute number, which is the most important belief of mankind, and Alex is the stronghold of the Holy See of light.
However, Klein changed the name of the king's capital to hymn City, and the meaning was obvious.
According to the gossip spread in the market, Klein once secretly met Pope jessolini XXIII and offered an invitation to let the Pope transfer the Great Holy See of light to the hymn city and make the hymn city a new holy city.
Unfortunately, the Pope finally rejected the proposal.
No one knows the real reason, but the result is very clear. Klein made a big joke. The luxurious Cathedral of light specially built for the Holy See of light has only become a branch of the Holy See of light - the holy song city branch of the Holy See of light is more luxurious than the headquarters of yalinks. This is also an interesting story about the Holy See of light widely known among the people.
After stopping over the chant city for a moment, the morning star flying car continued to hide in the clouds, flew north, crossed the gugal mountains, flew over the mist forest, and then they came to the white fog plain, the territory of the hornheim family.
White fog plain, also known as white fog collar, is a Duke collar in the kingdom of solant. Its name comes from the dense white fog that appears on the plain every morning and evening, especially in spring and autumn.
In addition to the white fog in the morning and evening, the white fog plain has no other shortcomings. It has abundant water and grass, fertile land and sufficient light. It is a very good place to plant wheat or various fruit trees. It is a very excellent grain producing area.
The white fog collar covers a large area. The food produced here accounts for a quarter of the supply of the kingdom of solant every year. At the same time, the hornheim family here will provide a large number of magic equipment to the kingdom of solant, so it is very important here.
The hornheim family can obtain the white fog plain as a territory, which shows the importance attached by the hornheim family of the original kings of the kingdom of solant.
”The hornheim family has 26 villages, 11 towns and four cities in the white fog plain, with a presidential population of more than 10 million. However, due to the large area of the white fog plain, it is still sparsely populated on the whole.”
”In addition, there are 50 plantations, 15 textile workshops, 18 forging workshops and three mines all over the white fog plain...”
”The hornheim family has completely controlled all aspects of the white fog plain. It can be said that all the residents here are working for the hornheim family. If they leave the hornheim family, they may all starve to death.”
Listening to Edward's introduction, Donne slowed down and looked down at the farmland below. Because it was located in the plain, the farmland area here was quite large, and the planning was very neat, which was convenient for planting, harvesting and statistical work - maybe it was an occupational disease of alchemists?
Donne suddenly asked, ”what are those people doing?”
At noon, many people are still busy in the farmland. They walk around the farmland with a box on their back and a rod in their hands. It looks very much like farmers on earth spraying pesticides - but prandal obviously has no concept of spraying pesticides.
