Chapter 83: Pompeii City (Part 1)

The farthest distance between the north and south borders of the empire is close to seven thousand miles, which is converted into the length unit of Tanggulas, which is more than 13,000 miles. This canal did not originate from Phoenix, and its length was close to five thousand miles.

The ships hired by Salin are not very fast. They can only walk about 20 miles per hour, but they can walk nearly 500 miles a day and night. If they are real clutchs, even if they only have sails, they may reach a level of thousands of miles a day.

It happened to be five thousand miles from Ivantel to Pompei. In the last few days, the captain accelerated the speed of the ship and took ten days to get from Ivantel to Pompeii.

During these ten days, Salin lived a very happy life. He and Rex finally mastered the skill to dispel each other's magic little by little on the last day. This skill may not work on others, but the ability of the two people to cooperate exponentially.

Pompei is also a large port city. It is the intersection of the canal and the Emerald River. The two rivers gather here into a wider river, heading eastward into the sea.

Pompei's geographical location is more important and business is more developed. The ships hired by Salin must be inspected here and docked by the way to replenish clean water and vegetables.

The captain came to find Salin and said, "Master, the Fran Duncan is going to be inspected in Pompeii and has to be inspected. This ship was originally registered with Pompeii. It will take a day to go shopping in the city?"

Salin was about to refuse, but Rex had already said: "Okay, I'm a little bored when I stayed on the boat. Salin, let's go to Pompei to have a look."

Since Rex wanted to go ashore, it didn't matter. Silen these days, Silen focused on the bone necklace and said she didn't want to leave. Nelise was not relieved to put it on the boat, so she had to let Silen stay alone. He Rex took Nelise off the boat and walked to the dock.

The pier in Pompeii is larger than Ivantel. It connects to the largest harbor of the empire in the east and directly to the southern border of the empire to the west. There is the artery of the Grand Canal from north to south, and the three converges, forming an extremely prosperous city.

Unlike Ivantel, Pompeii is an ancient city, which is even longer than Qin Yin's history. However, the current Pompeii was established later.

Rex explained Pompei's history to Salin with great interest. This ancient city originally belonged to a duke of the Fourth Dynasty. After the Black Magician Rebellion, the Fourth Dynasty was no longer able to control the local nobles, and the Lord of Pompei became a powerful man. Before Qin Yin founded the country, Pompei was one of the few cities in the south that were not immediately captured.

In those days, countless soldiers died in battle at the city of Pompei. In a furious emperor, he sent eight level nine magicians to cast eight forbidden spell scrolls in different directions of Pompei. The ancient city that had been destroyed for thousands of years was destroyed. Today, Pompei was rebuilt by the later emperor based on the seized alchemy drawings.

When the city was rebuilt, millions of bones were dug out from Pompei's ashes. It is conceivable how prosperous Pompei was back then.

Salin stood at the city and listened to Rex's narration of the history of the heroic city, and was shocked. The white Pompei was magnificent. If it were not material, the scale of the city would not be below the Holy Rock City. The most eye-catching thing was the two sides of the main gate. On the white walls, there were magical images drawn by magicians that were vivid.

It was a real battle scroll. On the long scroll with the city wall as the carrier, it carefully described the situation when Qin Yin's army attacked Pompey. This huge scroll was all marked with dragon blood ink on the white stone city wall. It was clearly black and white, but it made Salin smell the bloody smell.

Qin Yin's soldiers wearing double metal armor stood on the building car dozens of meters high and jumped towards Pompei's city wall. The one who was pulling the building car was a huge monster. Qin Yin's iron armored cavalry faced Pompei's army that rushed out of the city gate, and flew out of Pompei's city wall, and rushed towards the building car with thick smoke.

At the rear of the battlefield, Qin Yin's army was assembling magic stone cannons. From Pompeii, there were scattered planes attacking these magic apprentices who assembled stone cannons. The huge chariot was destroyed by the huge rocks thrown by the scattered plane. The war horses and monsters were rolling on the ground in pain. A soldier had to use a short sword to end the life of his mount.

The magic apprentices gathered their attention and ignored the huge rocks thrown in the city.

The picture is still, just like a battlefield was cast by someone, fixed forever. Qin Yin's magician faithfully recorded the scene of that year. No one was just, and Salin only saw the tragic tragedy.

The city gates are two levels, with a urn city. A metal bridge is suspended above the urn city. There are arrow holes on the metal bridges, so you can attack enemies entering the urn city at will. The scale of this urn city is a bit large, and a stone tablet is taller than the city wall erected in the center. The white stone tablet is engraved with names.

"These are all Qin Yinren who died in Pompei back then. On the back is a list of the soldiers killed by Grand Duke Pompei. This is how Qin Yin was established." Rex stood under the stone tablet, with a look of respect in his eyes.

She respected the founding ancestors and also respected the Grand Duke Pompei who died in battle.

"I don't know what the nobles who were in Galoran who never advance or retreat would think of this stone tablet, hey..." Rex's tone became loud. At this time, her body revealed the temperament that the imperial prince should have.

"If it were Skochenya, I wouldn't have done this." Salin looked at the white stone tablet and suddenly said to Rex who was moved.

"Oh?" What would the Skochenians do? Will erase history?

"The Skochenians would enclose all these paintings and stone tablets and build a city. Whoever wants to see it will have to pay at least one silver coin."

"Hahahaha..." Rex laughed. Salin's joke was a little cold, but it relieved her depression very well. "Sallin, I didn't expect you to tell jokes too."

"I didn't expect you to laugh like this." Salin looked around and saw many people already attracted by Rex's laughter. Rex and Neris were both beautiful, and she smiled unrestrainedly and didn't care about other people's gazes. However, Salin didn't like being watched. There were many people visiting the stone tablet here, and Salin pulled Larex's sleeve.

There were Qin Yin soldiers standing guard beside the stone tablet. Several soldiers looked at Salin's mage robe and did not come up to dissuade Rex's rude behavior.

"Go to the city. Pompei has a business from the Yunliu Empire, and there are also Skochenyas doing business here. Maybe they can buy the goods we need."

"I think it's time to buy some clothes first. Our outfits are really eye-catching."

Salin had long felt something was wrong. He was a level 4 mage and was wearing a white mage robe. Rex's colorful magic robe attracted more attention. Neris was following behind his butt, which was deep summer. Neris was still wearing winter clothes. Fortunately, he didn't bring Shika, and Shika's weapons were also quite shocking. Such four people were targets to attract attention wherever they walked.

"What are you afraid of? In Alchemy City, you can dress up all kinds of strange things, and there are magicians wearing animal skins, just like the Caucasians."

Seeing Salin's depressed expression, Rex smiled and said, "Then let's get a beautiful dress for Shika. You, I can give you a magic robe with three constant magics on it, you can wear them until level 6."

Rex was used to being generous to the people around her. She said casually, not realizing that the gray magic robe was originally worn by her, and it was somewhat inappropriate to give it to Salin.

Fortunately, when Salin touched the word magic, he would forget the identities of Princess Rex and the Beauty. He remembered Rex's original gray magic robe, which was a good equipment. Moreover, there were three constant magicians of Level 8 magicians, which were very important to him.

"Why find a place to wear it now." Salin was not polite to Rex. The secret between him and Rex was of great value. A magic robe was no longer considered a bribe.

"What's the hurry? Are you still embarrassed to bargain with others in a gray magic robe?" Rex took Salin and wanted to take the center of Pompeii.

Pompei's prosperity is different from the Holy Rock City. There are too many foreign merchants here, including Yunliu people from both sea and land, and Skochenya people from the northern canal. What makes Salin most strange is that there are also Tanggulas people here.

The two countries have started war, and these merchants are not afraid of being killed by the emperor to vent their anger, and they are still in Qin Yin. This is really a waste of money and life. The current emperor's father died at the hands of the Holy Church.

"Rex, I think you have a familiar road. Have you been to Pompei before?" Salin followed Rex and left the main road, turned around in the alley, and came to a city with old buildings. The stores here are not big, but each has huge crystal windows. This kind of crystal window means the specialty of the store. Usually, except for valuables, it is the place for commodity trading, and there is no need for too large stores.

This style was passed down from the Skochenya Empire.

"I have recorded the map for every city with a population of over 10,000 in Qin Yin." Rex was a little proud. This was the advantage of the royal family. Only by mastering the details of each city in the empire can we better control local aristocrats. Qin Yin's urban construction was not as good as he wanted. It must be approved by the royal family, complete alchemy drawings, and less than thirty fixed patterns.

More than 20 urban layouts can play a huge role in wartime, and there are many changes. However, for a great magician like Rex, no matter how Pompei changes, the basic layout will not change.

The three of them came to a small square. The ground of the square was covered with crimson bricks, and several bronze statues stood in it. There were low shops on all sides, and each one was not more than two floors. In Pompey, every inch of land was valuable, such a house was even more expensive.

"Which one should I choose?" Rex looked around. There were more than 40 stores here. Those who could open stores here all had certain strength.
