At this moment, a deep bell rang over the distant city.
The shocking sound resounded throughout almost all areas in and outside the city, with nineteen knocks.
"The sound is so loud. This is the clock tower used by the human race to keep time... Speaking of which, there seems to be sounds here too? They are all the same, but why are they everywhere? Is it magic?"
Dorando exclaimed. The sound was one of the rare fluctuations of external objects that it could feel the same way as humans.
It has grown up in a forest hundreds or thousands of years ago, and lived with a group of elves who lived a primitive life even a few years ago. It is definitely a luxury to expect it to distinguish things that it has not seen by itself.
Although Mo Gan knew it, he confirmed it and ensured that he would not mislead anyone.
"After the bells ring, what you hear is the 'sun wheel' phenomenon unique to Nova City. When the day and night turn, they will turn specific places in the city upside down and turn them into other functional structures, which are used to achieve different uses of the same space.
Effect."
As Mogan said.
Along with the relatively imperceptible sound of metallic friction, which only those with overly keen senses would be disturbed by, unusual movements occur throughout the city.
For example, dozens of meters away, several rows of inspection channels were issued with access orders for all personnel to evacuate. At this moment, they had slowly overturned and were deposited at the bottom of the sentry station from bottom to top.
As we all know, in order to ensure the safety of personnel, passage orders are only reviewed and issued during the day. If you have special needs, you must go to the specially opened small city gate, but you will also need to pay additional fees.
The original passage has become redundant at this time, and in the dark night where there are shadows everywhere, the place for protection and guarding is more important.
There are actually many similar transformations.
Because most of the shops in the outer city are open day and night, and the area that changes day and night in the outer city is limited, more mechanical transformation sites are located in residential areas, accounting for one-fifth of the public places, no more, no less.
In fact, these are all inspired by the characteristics of the city in the Kingdom of Denton, which is called the "City of Machinery". It was given priority to refer to the design during reconstruction, and this is one of the urban planning plans derived from this.
There are not many pedestrians on the road now.
Morgan melted the fake "gem-encrusted" dagger, released the little elf that had been hiding there, and let it fly around freely. He also told him to hide in his shadow when he saw someone.
At the same time, he didn't mind telling the elf some principles of the human world, so that his alien apprentice could develop the good habit of drawing inferences from one example to another.
"Since Queen Cole took office, she has made a lot of plans to make the country stronger. It is not just about setting goals - Nova City was intended to be the starting point of innovation from the beginning."
The Cole Kingdom's status was once extremely embarrassing, especially after the war when everything was in dire straits.
In terms of technological level, the Cole Kingdom cannot compare with Denton, a newly built city that started out as a craftsman. In terms of area and population, the long-term wars have also made the Cole Kingdom aware of the gap.
As for comparing with Lestus...
Let’s not talk about whether there is such a way. Just some unique royal records about their magisters from a hundred years ago can be daunting.
Being able to obtain so many resources from all over the country, Nova City's rapid re-emergence is naturally not only due to the sympathy of others and face-saving projects, but also benefits the entire country through long-term experiments.
How to make Cole, who is not outstanding in all aspects, occupy a stable position among the four countries and refer to other countries' methods of doing things so as not to fall behind. This is an issue that Queen Cole has focused on for the past thirty years.
She also did it.
Taking the city of Nova as an example, it adopted the pass order of Lestus and the urban mechanical structure of the Kingdom of Denton. Nova City is actually a melting pot that combines the special characteristics and landmarks of various countries.
This reference seems to exclude the powerful but more sensitive Kingdom of Crowley. Due to the political factors of the times, this is not surprising.
——It is not a good thing to imitate the country you just fought with.
After giving lectures to Dolanduo, Mo Gan relied on the map he had memorized in his memory to find a fork with a street number on it, and then turned around.
Go down and enter the residential area.
Vendors are not allowed in residential areas of Nova City, and there are clear prohibition signs.
It's not a commercial monopoly, it's just that the flow of people cannot reach the designated level, and allowing people to stay like in the broad outer city will hinder traffic.
Especially the areas closer to the residential areas in the city become quieter and quieter as you go in, the streets become more tidy and tidy, and the wider housing does not conflict with the road traffic.
This situation relies on Nova City's relatively superior and highly utilized road planning.
Based on Mogan’s fieldwork experience, new planning is considered to be the best in the Cole Kingdom where most cities have not changed for a century, and it is also part of the urban planning reform experiment.
Morgan looked at the tallest building on the edge of the residential area, briefly glanced at the kingdom's flag at the top, and then continued on his way.
He knew that that was the location of the Knights of Nova City, and it was also one of the starting points for their departure as described by the Mirandi brothers.
It looks like everything is normal and well-guarded, but I don't know what is actually going on.
That night, they were in a deserted place in this place - which also meant that if the defense was completely penetrated anywhere, the Knights should have the most serious suspicion.
Two teenagers stole a sword openly and successfully. This is not an ordinary problem.
Mogan has been very clear about this very early on, and the order in Nova City is basically determined by three parties.
Inquisitors, Knights, and Dukes.
The last one is hidden in area
But in any case, the task of defending the city is not the Duke's business, and he has no direct authority.
Neither Albert nor the people behind him can directly influence the other two forces. Unless through an indirect method...
Morgan thought of the various uniforms at the city gate. When he started to observe, he wanted to get the answer first, but found that there were both, and he could not tell which side had more and dominated.
Knights, Inspector.
Which party has become the loophole?
It’s still not convenient to tell Dorando the content.
Morgan had heard of Nova City early on, not because of its innovative nature, but because it was out of control, and many upper-class people seemed to have no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.
The tragedy of family extermination was vivid, and the experiences of the Mirandi siblings were also told personally.
The construction of the city has been completed for decades, but various functions have not been spread to the entire country regardless of their effects. This is largely because the control of Nova City has been out of control in the later period.
Sending Inspector Assad to take personal control of the inspector's affairs here in the name of rotation was Queen Christine's last step.
But now it seems that there is no progress, and what Mogan read in the Queen's letter is probably that it is best for him not to get involved in this matter.
The word "best" in Mo Gan's dictionary means roughly the same as "can". Perhaps the Queen left some room for it and felt that it was not impossible.
It would be too hasty to rush directly to the Knights. His current target is the residence of the Mirandi family. This is also what Will described and told himself.
When he arrived at the place, the scene that appeared was slightly different from what Mo Gan had imagined, which made him startled.
What you see in front of you is not a complete house, nor the ruins that have been bulldozed and cleared, but half a house that is still covered in scorched marks, but all the objects have been preserved intact.
The still-complete house number inserted in the dirt and weeds in front of the house actually has the correct surname of the "Mirandi" family written on it.
Morgan could also recognize that the handwriting on the door plate was similar to Will's handwriting in Robbie's shop, but the writing was relatively immature. The writing here was probably a symbol of the happiness of the Mirandi family.
It is as if a year has not flowed at all and has been frozen to this day. It is like the Mirandi siblings witnessed their home being burned down by fire last night and hurriedly escaped from Nova City.
