Chapter 6 Is it a city built on water?

 The next morning, Alice looked at Ringer with a very strange look, so strange that he was unwilling to describe it positively in words and tried to avoid it, but she still entangled him and forced her to question him. Lan

"I mean Ringer." The golden-haired maid came closer, deliberately lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously: "You and Olvera... didn't actually sleep last night, right? What were you doing?"

Lin Ge suddenly looked sideways after hearing this: You have discovered all this, how did you know?

"Because I haven't slept either." The maid said the most unreasonable thing with a straight face: "I was staying up late playing games, and I heard the sound of conversation coming from your room in the middle of the night. I originally wanted to go there.

I asked, but because I was about to clear the level, I didn’t do it. When I went to bed later, it was probably around 3:30 in the morning? You are still not asleep, tell me, what are you doing!?"

In the end, she suddenly raised her tone, trying to intimidate and blackmail Ringer into telling him the truth. Unfortunately, the young man had long been immune to this trick and replied expressionlessly: "Nothing was done."

"Is it true? I don't believe it?" Her eyes were suspicious and her eyes were rolling around. She didn't know what she was planning: "Who is a serious person who stays up late? You must be doing something not serious, and you are caught by me.

I caught the horse's tail! Say it quickly, or I will tell Metien if you don't?"

After she finished speaking, she became smug, thinking that she had pinpointed Ringer's weakness, but the latter did not take this trick at all. He simply ignored her and walked past. Seeing that she was still bothering him, he asked coldly:

"So, have you cleared the level?"

"Eh!?" Lan

Alice was stunned, then her eyes deviated unnaturally, and she quibbled: "Just, it's just a little bit short. I was too sleepy and anxious to sleep, so I didn't finish the fight... Yes, that's it, sooner or later.

You can pass it! Pass it today and let you see how powerful a talented player is..."

While she was trying to convince herself, Lin Ge slipped away.

In the next few days, Oveira still slept in Ringer's room every night, which caused the young man's sleep quality to fluctuate. Sometimes he could fall asleep, but sometimes he had inexplicable insomnia and could only stay up late with her.

About this matter, apart from the person involved, probably only the maid Alice in the next room knows about it, because she also likes to stay up late, or in other words, she is simply a nocturnal animal and is more energetic at night.

Because she knew that these two people were alone in a room and did not do anything inappropriate for children, but instead heard them chatting about how to copy and organize books, Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly told the people who had been paying attention to this matter.

Friends, this is indeed a 6 game, and both adults and children can rest assured.

Saint Xalia was very mediocre. She originally thought it was no big deal. Lin Ge's character was very reassuring. Xie Mi was a little disappointed. As for what she was disappointed with, no one knew. Meridian's mood was more complicated. Except for

In addition to being happy and relaxed, she is still a little entangled, mainly between Saint Xalia and Olvera. She feels that although Olvela is very good, Xiaoxia is also very good. How should she choose?
Uh, you ask Alice?

Who is she? Lan

……

On December 30th, that is the day when the princess of Beman gave the copied and bound first potion book to Medien, and received the happy smile of the pink-haired little girl and a sincere "thank you"

, the city of Nimschel, which has been bustling for several days, finally ushered in the opening ceremony of the 11th World Exposition.

The opening ceremony will be held in the Municipal Square in the central area. There will be the mayor of Nimschel Municipality, the chief secretary, the director of the Public Affairs Bureau, the tribune of Nimschel diocese, representatives of the faithful of the diocese, St. Michael

The Bishop of Keles Cathedral and other heavyweights attended, and the opening speech was delivered by Professor David, the director of the Lubeon Museum.

After the opening ceremony, the east and north districts of the city will become the venues for the expo. The originally closed pavilions from various countries will be opened, displaying thousands of exhibits from more than fifty countries and spanning thousands of years of history, as well as some only

The future creation that exists in the imagination, such a large-scale investment, is indispensable behind the support of the Black Night Habitat, which is the most wealthy in the sect union.

Lin Ge was originally not interested in listening to the opening speech, but seeing that everyone else was quite interested, he did not object. Moreover, he thought that maybe he could also see the practitioner from the Fertile Land Sect at the opening ceremony.

Rochelle.

However, contact with him is a dangerous thing and may attract the attention of the Night Watch and the Scales of Order, so it is best to avoid it - although he was the one who invited himself to this city from the beginning.

On the day of the opening ceremony, everyone got up early. Even Alice, who liked to stay in bed, was dragged out of bed by Merdine and Xemmi. After washing up, everyone set off to the Municipal Square. The distance was not too far, so

I chose walking.阑

Even though it has the name of "International City", such a large-scale event is the first time in the history of Nimschel. Therefore, the streets are bustling with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, four-wheeled carriages, and two-seater open carriages.

, even the subway and steam trains...all go in the same direction. Not only foreign tourists, but also the citizens of this city actively participate in the grand event.

Walking on the streets and admiring the city scenery, Nimschel has another unique flavor compared to the dark and heavy Linwell city and the vibrant Rosting city. Historically, it has been

Three large rivers flowed through it. Those rivers from the medieval era have not completely receded. They still flow through the underground of the city, giving birth to fertile soil and vast forests. At the same time, they also earned Nimschel the reputation of the "City of Springs".

, the time was earlier than the period when it was called an "international city".

The long-term relationship with water has enabled the Nimshel people to understand their temperament. Therefore, the city's street drainage system and underground drainage system are quite developed. Wherever you can see, it is covered with silver, and you can see floating dark water everywhere.

Snowy waterways, gurgling ditches, fountains filled with snowflakes, and drainage pipes erected under fence grids still encourage the active flow of water even in the cold winter.

When they turned into the sewer alleys, they were stained with the dampness and dirt there, like a gloomy snowdrift haze; but when they merged into the tree-lined streets, they turned into a majestic and bright atmosphere, which may indicate that the water is also invisible.

Various images of city streets and alleys are reflected in it.

In the past, the three large rivers were considered to be the mothers of the Nimsher people. Although they have disappeared without a trace due to the diversion of the rivers, there are countless traces left behind, which can also be considered as their gifts to their children. So far,

A total of more than a hundred natural fountains and hot springs have been discovered in Nimschel City. The penetration rate of water pipes drawn entirely from mountain streams and rivers is among the top ten in the mainland. Excluding the capitals and important cities of the three kingdoms, it can basically be regarded as the third largest city in the mainland.

The level of one.

The river is also complicated, with twists and turns. On the way to the Municipal Square, which is less than a mile, the group passed at least three stone bridges, two of which were left over from the medieval era, and only one was renovated in modern times.

The river water mixed with cold snowflakes is crystal clear. It is affected by the low temperature in winter, and the half-dead aquatic plants rise and fall with the waves. The boatmen on the river drive the gondola, a small boat that looks like a strange dragon, carrying foreign tourists under the bridge.

After passing by, there is a small snow-covered pier for docking every few hundred meters.

It may be considered that this is a city completely built on a river network. 阑

When Olvera sees these rivers, she will think of the citizens of Rosting standing on the stone bridge feeding the gray pigeons. There are no gray pigeons in Nimschel, only starlings, crows and a kind of seagull called the arrow gull. The local

People don't feed them intentionally. These creatures can feed themselves by pecking at aquatic plants and small fish in the river. Sometimes they will land on the bow of the gondola and stare intently at a fish swimming in the river, paying attention to the boatman and the boatman behind them.

Passengers turned a blind eye.

If the Rustin people feeding gray wild pigeons is a sense of mission inspired by artistic inspiration and city image, then the Nimscher people are completely familiar with getting along with these creatures, just like they are used to getting along with water.

Seen as a blend of culture and faith.

The typical feature is that small shrines can be seen set up at the docks, river bottoms, fountains and ditch corners of rivers, wherever water flows, and where snow accumulates. Although there are no gods worshiped in them, Tiffany was once built here.

Silk Holy Church, the holy spring monks who taught the residents here to "pray for water and life" have also been expelled long ago.

The princess was touched by this and murmured in a low voice: "The river is still roaring and about to swallow more creatures... Young Julius roared to it: Come on, I am from this river.

The king is the god in the water! Surrender to me, so you are allowed to still flow through this land! So, the river came to rest in an instant, and from then on, it gave birth to his land and people.""

This is a passage she read in a book a long time ago, and now she feels it is quite appropriate. The intersection between rivers and civilization is actually as long and harmonious as the intersection between fire and civilization.

Others didn't care, knowing that her literary and artistic temperament was showing up again, and she would occasionally burst out incomprehensible words from her mouth. Saint Xalia also carefully pulled an extra thread of fate to her sister to avoid these literary and artistic words.

Eavesdropped by passing humans.

The strange thing is that although the river network is dense and the water resources are so abundant, almost all the rivers in Nimshel City are small rivers with a width of no more than 20 meters. They are so delicate that they can only accommodate small boats like gondolas.

; Water resources are mostly concentrated in underground rivers, fountains, and hot springs, and large-scale inland rivers and lakes have not been formed. Therefore, Nimshel City is not a port city, and its economy is not developed.
"In this case," curious students will ask: "Why did it become an 'international city'?"

Then, after reading a lot of relevant information before departure, Ringer, who has a certain understanding of the city, would answer her: "Because in international politics, the city of Nimschel does have a very special status."

Not very important.

But it's very special.
