Chapter 393 (1/2)
Niederhogg, elevated corridor.
When the suspicious and uneasy black haired wizard and his entourage walked all the way through the ”ruins” outside the Dragon King City, a building similar to the main gate of the church stood in front of them.
There are only a few broken walls left of the originally closed gate, surrounded by traces of snow and ice. It is obvious that it has suffered extremely strong damage, or completely decayed and disintegrated in the millennium.
Just behind the ”main gate”, towering towers and palaces in the distance have also appeared in the field of vision, like mountains, cascading and stepping in turn.
At the top of the ”mountain” is a magnificent spiral tower - similar to the shape of the nine pointed star wizard tower, but gorgeous and spectacular beyond imagination, so that the three can see it clearly from the bottom.
The pure white tower is surrounded by four black ”Dragons”, and the four ferocious dragon heads open their big mouths, like biting each other... The strong contrast between black and white is very eye-catching in this pure white city.
It's like... Trying to be noticed.
”It feels like I've seen it somewhere...” Lucian looked at the distant tower and whispered, ”have we come to the 'Palace' gate of niederhogg?”
”On the contrary, the real gate is in the north of niederhogg, and we are in the south.” Isaac turned his eyes and said in a very disapproving tone:
”According to the records of the wizard tower, this is actually a 'small gate' behind the palace, which is specially used for the passage of 'Knights' and troops in the King City - by the way, the word' Knight 'is actually a mistranslation; the real name should be' Dragon driver 'or' Dragon Hunter '. It is said that these two mean the same in the language of the Dragon kingdom.”
”Small door?!”
The grey pupil boy looked up at the building comparable to the cathedral, and then pointed to the corridor they came all the way behind him: ”do you call this a small door?”
”Otherwise, or why do you think there is such a corridor connecting the outer wall?” Isaac looked at Lucian with a look of a fool:
”To make it clear is to prevent the army from contacting the civilian areas below - of course, it may also be to separate the core King City from the civilian areas; just as the Lords will separate their castles from the people's huts.
Oh... Although it looks spectacular, it feels like there is no difference between the Dragon Kingdom and the Empire; they are just a country composed of a group of noble lords who think they are sacred and noble and thousands of times more civilian slaves than them; they have not made much progress in the past 1000 years... ”Isaac muttered.
”It won't make much progress in another thousand years...” shrugged his shoulders and Lauren muttered to himself.
Those in power and those without power, rulers and ruled, rich and poor, high and low... No matter how gorgeous, sacred or equal, it is just a trick of self deception.
But what Lauren really cares about now is not what's not.
Without the restraint of faoda, tens of thousands of carrion demons in the glacier wasteland will inevitably go all the way south to attack the gate breaking mountain in the north of the Empire.
It must be false to say not to worry about ayin, but... Considering the current situation, I'm afraid he can only relax if the little wizard stays there.
Although the number of corpse corrupting demons is indeed large, the loss of the command of the evil god apostles is almost the same as that of ordinary monsters; Duanjieshan fortress is the strongest fortress in the whole empire. There is also the crown prince, plus two elite legions and several times of auxiliary soldiers and church knights. It is enough to provide more material support.
If even these can't stop them, there is at least Ariel's last line of defense - although the evil gods are not credible in Loren's eyes, I'm afraid I have to believe it again this time.
”Dear Loren, don't worry.” Asriel's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, with some proud Charm: ”with that fake lady, your lovely little girlfriend is absolutely safe.”
”I'm so confident...” the black haired wizard couldn't help but laugh at the corners of his mouth:
”Who on earth has always been on guard against Miss Ariel and tried his best to slander and kill her?”
”Poor Asriel, of course.” the boy admitted it without concealment, and his tone became more and more interesting:
”But it is because of this that I know how much miss fake values dear Lauren - because unlike her, Asriel has never deceived Lauren.”
