Chapter 49: The Bells of the Holy Rock City (Part 1)
[I won't reply to book reviews one by one recently. I will post related works if I have time. If you hope to discuss them, please join the group]
The bear climbed up from the ground, shaking his feet. Although Shika did not know the sword energy, his punch also made him dizzy. His temperament was thick, so he came to Princess Rex and bowed randomly.
"I've seen an adult."
"What position are you doing here?"
"I'll cook for them." Zhuo Xiong scratched his head embarrassedly.
Princess Rex was delighted. The cook was basically not a military position, and there was no need to review anything when transferred. "I just happened to be missing a chef, so you can follow me in the future."
The bear's eyes rolled around and looked around. Scott shouted, "I haven't thanked the princess yet!"
"Then, Princess, how many silver coins can you earn as your cook?" Zhu Xiong mustered up the courage to ask.
"Ha..." Princess Rex couldn't help laughing. This bear had never practiced any sword energy. He was different from Shika, nor did he have the priest blessings of the Caucasians. He was born with a good warrior. He probably had no money and could not even be an ordinary swordsman. Such a person would find him a good teacher. In a few years, at least a high-level swordsman, and he had no problem becoming a swordsman. If he was lucky, he might have another swordsman after thirty years.
"Bao Bear, I don't have silver coins. I'll send you two gold coins every month from now on."
Zhuo Xiong cried and replied, "That, sir, I can't spend two gold coins, so let's forget it."
"It's okay, I'll exchange it for you with silver coins, and you'll spend it all." Princess Rex was childish, but unexpectedly, Zhu Xiong nodded vigorously and replied, "This is OK, then when will I leave?"
The soldiers around him burst into laughter when they heard Princess Rex's words. Salin nodded secretly, saying, "Although Princess Rex is not much older than him, her wrists are much smarter. And every word and action can affect others. Is this the so-called aristocratic temperament?
Shika moved his hands and came back to Salin, looked at the bear, and said, "Big man, he is very strong."
Zhuo Xiong felt a little embarrassed. She was as big as a little doll. Even if she won, she would be embarrassed, let alone lose.
It was indeed no trouble to transfer the chef away. Scott quickly helped Princess Rex to do everything, and also changed the Bear to clean clothes and asked him to put on his shoes.
These are all small things. The envoy of the imperial capital has arrived in the town and passed the documents. Princess Rex will enter the city in the afternoon and will set off at this time.
Even if he was a princess, Rex could not lead troops into the city, but the mages around her could be brought with her. One hundred low-level mages were a bit arrogant, and in the end he chose fifty mages and fifty swordsmen, and followed Princess Rex into the city.
It would take an ordinary person a day to walk a distance of fifty miles. Now the princess's carriage is light and simple, it is only two hours away. In addition to Feren, Salin and other living mages also rode on horses. They all wanted to take a good look at the spectacular scene of the Holy Rock City. This city, known as the miracle of the Meers continent, is adorable.
The first generation of Qin Yin took seventy-two years to build this city, and the royal family back then had ten nine-level magicians and hundreds of great magicians. Ordinary mages and apprentices could form an army of pure mages. With such a powerful lineup, it took so long to build a city. Any mage would be surprised, curious, and longing for it.
Despite the rise of Alchemy City later, Holy Rock City is still an irreplaceable holy land in the hearts of magicians.
Perhaps there are more mages, magic towers, and magicians in Alchemy City, but Alchemy City has no history, has never really fought against the Holy See, and has no glory in the hearts of the mages.
In the past, the mainland was in turmoil and the Holy See fought eastward. Hundreds of thousands of knights died in battle under the Holy Rock City, which made the dignity of the mage. The battle in the Holy Rock City was a turning point in history. From then on, there was no sign of unification on the mainland, and then hundreds of years of peace.
Any peace is exchanged for blood, without sacrifice, human beings do not know that they can fight against gods, and they do not know the glorious years that have existed in history.
Salin has seen these repeatedly in numerous magic notes, and every magician is not stingy in praise to describe the Holy Rock City.
Who says that a monk has no faith? When every monk receives the inheritance, he will be told that everything about a monk is obtained by himself and there is no need to pray.
The road from the town to the Holy Rock City is extremely wide. Every few miles, you can see the magnificent ancient castles in the jungle. These castles have no war functions for a long time, and are mostly villas of great nobles. The envoy of the imperial capital rode a horse to lead the way, but could not run too fast. Salin just watched them all the way.
This east-west official road is not very prosperous, and most of the pedestrians are rippling with cars and horses, and there are no civilians or business travelers. Princess Rex's team has become smaller, but the fifty magicians are not fake. The people they meet give way to express their respect.
Low-level mages may not be valued in the emperor, but the vehicles protected by dozens of mages must be big names.
A dozen miles apart, Salin had already seen the outline of the Holy Rock City. It was a high city, much higher than the horizon, and the dense forest could not block Salin's view.
Salin's body was a little stiff. He had never thought about such a majestic city, and he had never thought about it. And this city was a miracle created by a magician. Salin had never thought that watching a city from afar would bring such a shock to his heart.
The city is getting closer and closer, and even if the magic is not used, the outline of the Holy Rock City is clear. This city is almost carved on a huge mountain. The black city wall has no regular lines, but is carefully carved according to the landform. The higher part is carved into a fortress shape, and the lower part is dozens of meters high, and some low-level magic cannot be shot up. Salin did not observe the endless magic patterns on the city wall. He could not believe that the city was actually built of steel rock.
The details are not mentioned in the magic notes, and the occasionally description is not detailed. Salin thought that the Holy Rock City used a large amount of magic materials, but unexpectedly, this huge city itself is a magic prop.
Any section of such a city wall has an amplification effect on magic. What a tragic scene it was that the Sacred Knights of that year, with the blessing of the magician, charged towards the Holy Rock City!
Such a city may only be destroyed if the true god comes.
when……
A thick bell rang out, and then a continuous resonance sound emanated outside the city.
when……
The bell seemed to be ringing directly in people's hearts, and at least hundreds of bells resonate. This bell is not an iron bell like the Holy See, but a magic bell left by the ancient Fourth Dynasty, cast in fine copper, and the sound can last for more than 80 miles. In other words, the bell of the Holy Rock City can be heard in the surrounding towns that guard the imperial capital.
when……
Princess Rex smiled on her face, Father, I'm back.
The messenger leading the way in front was shocked. He did not expect that His Majesty would welcome the princess with such a high standard. The empire has not used the magic clock for many years? Could it be that His Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince and choose Princess Rex to inherit the throne? This is not good for the empire. The prince finally drove the princess out of the imperial capital back then, but His Majesty still missed it?
Although the crown prince is young, can't his Majesty see the support he has received in the House of Commons?
The bell kept ringing, and the messenger's face became even more ugly. He had no prejudice against the princess. As long as Rex stayed honestly in Kushui County, it didn't matter even if he did anything wrong. Such a trivial matter was aroused by the empire, but if the princess came back for the position of crown prince, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Salin didn't understand the meaning of the bell, but his mental power resonated directly with the bell. The mental power that had already condensed to its limit condensed again and was almost about to form a substance. Is there such a good thing?
Unfortunately, I am just a second-level mage. If it is the top of the third level, it will not be a problem to break through to level 4 under the washing of the bell. The magic string is too weak! I have strong mental power but cannot advance.
Princess Rex's feelings were even more different. She practiced not only magic but also royal secret techniques since she was a child. This bell was originally prepared by the emperor for her, and she probably used the power of three level nine magicians. For ordinary magicians, this bell only improved a little bit of cultivation, and all the power in Princess Rex's body was stimulated by the bell and repeatedly tempered.
The magicians in the team also felt this benefit, and even the war horses they rode became energetic and accelerated their speed.
The messenger smiled bitterly. After His Majesty's actions, all the magicians in the city were considered to be the princess's glory. They used the accumulated power for ten years to welcome their daughter. His Majesty, you are wrong.
The bell rang twenty-four times, not only shocking the envoy, but also shocked everyone in the Holy Rock City. Even the nobles who were loyal to the emperor were panicked. His Majesty has always been wise. Why did this time?
Salin was a little unstable at the moment. It was a good thing for his mental power to continue to condense, but he couldn't control his body. Naris suddenly abandoned the war horse, jumped up, landed behind Salin, hugged Salin's waist, and stabilized him.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Nelise asked anxiously. She felt something was wrong with Salin. The soul connection between the two people was fluctuating violently, as if they were about to reach the verge of collapse.
Salin couldn't speak, and his mental power had all entered the goddess' necklace, and finally blocked the invasion of the bell. The too solidified mental power has a limit for the second-level mage. If he loses balance, Salin may be in danger of life. This kind of thing has not happened before, and he was encountered by Salin for the first time.
In the space of the necklace, the secrets of the arrangement of Figaro formulas were displayed in Salin's heart one by one. He greedily absorbed the knowledge in it, and the loss of mental power was reduced to the extreme, and he was no longer as fragile as before, as if he could be blown away by the wind.
