1770 The City Sitting on the Lake
In a word, it is a circular city in the center of a huge lake.
If you look from the outside, maybe you can only see a prison-like fortress firmly surrounded by the thick outer wall of the water gate?
There is only one huge stone bridge leading to the fortress, which is connected to the main gate and extends to the shore.
Riding on a dragon chariot, together with the ligers and mercenaries around them, Fang Li and his party entered this watergate city after applying for entry.
"Ooh..."
It didn't take long before exclamations came from every girl around Fang Li.
The city presented to everyone is a blue water city surrounded by water.
If you don't care about the scale of the city's internal structure, it should be similar to a sports stadium, right?
The height difference is formed in such a way that it is the highest on the outside and becomes lower as you go to the center.
The ground exposed by the gaps of each level is crowded with stone buildings.
A series of large waterways seem to divide the entire city into four parts, and there are boats coming and going on it, causing waves of water.
And on it, the one responsible for pulling the boat is naturally not an earth dragon, but a creature that flies across the water, has a body that is thinner than a snake, and has short limbs.
"Is that a water dragon?"
Emilia murmured in surprise.
——— "Water Dragon".
That is the same as the earth dragon, it is very important in this dragon-loving kingdom, and it is even rarer than the earth dragon.
Unlike the earth dragon, which needs to run on land, so has a strong body, the water dragon looks like a giant water-blue snake with short limbs, a jaw with sharp teeth on its head, and a long catfish-like body. tentacle.
If the earth dragon looks like a large lizard, then the water dragon looks like a flood dragon.
The scene of water dragons passing by on the waterway that surrounds the entire city makes people feel a sense of excitement.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Ricardo rode a liger,
Coming to the side of Fang Li and his party who poked their heads out of the carriage and were amazed at the scene in front of them, they smiled and spoke.
"Because it's close to Kalaragi, it's like a hometown for those of us who were born in Kalaragi. Missy likes this place very much, so I chose this place as the meeting place this time. We also visit here from time to time. They will come here to have fun.”
No one doubts these words.
"There is indeed value in playing here."
Sylvia made the most intuitive impression. The chuckle mixed with the sound of the water actually felt like a self-contained song, causing many people on the side of the road to look sideways.
Even Emilia, Rem, and Beatrice all expressed their thoughts.
"Although I've heard of this place before, this is the first time I've been here."
"The southern border is too far away from the Mezas Territory on the northern border. Even Lord Roswaal doesn't know if he has a chance to come here."
"Betty only read the introduction in the book, and thought it should be colder here, but I didn't expect it to be pretty good."
The three girls expressed their thoughts separately.
In the end, even Garfiel touched his nose, showing a rare honest smile.
"Boss! Can I go down and race those water dragons!?"
"no!"
Fang Li's resolute veto made Garfiel immediately become dejected.
At this time, Natsuki Subaru rode over on a liger in a crappy posture.
"Starting from the central waterway in Priestella, the four areas divided into four are called Street 1, Street 2, Street 3, and Street 4 in the order of counting from the main entrance to the right. street."
Natsuki Subaru squeezed out these topics as if unwilling to be lonely.
"In each area separated by number, the types of shops and occupations gathered are also different. The No. 2 Street and No. 3 Street, which are far from the main entrance, seem to be the places where the residential areas of local residents are concentrated. No. 1 The street is dominated by frequent travelers, and our destination is No. 1 street.”
Natsuki Subaru waved his big hand a little vigorously.
"Let's go! I'll take you there!"
However, facing Subaru Nayuki like this, the three cat-man imps around him whipped him mercilessly.
"Hey, why does big brother seem to be very proud?"
"Obviously I haven't been here a few times."
"I remember I lost my way last time, but my sister picked me up on the road at night, and I was crying like hell."
"The cat over there is so noisy!"
Mimi, Hei Taro and Tibi's debunking made Natsuki Subaru roar.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ricardo then burst out laughing.
"Let me lead the way! Come with me!"
After finishing speaking, Ricardo clamped the liger under him, causing the liger to let out a roar and run forward.
The people of Iron Fang followed immediately.
"My lords, please go back to the carriage and sit down."
Rem gave an order, and then also drove the dragon carriage, letting the dragon carriage follow.
...
The place where Anastasia is going to entertain Emilia is called Mizu no Hagorodomei.
It was a flat, all-wooden building, with wooden windows and doors covered with glass and surrounded by hedges.
The road from the front of the gate to the entrance is paved with fine stones.
The roof is made of tiles.
In this stone street full of foreign flavors, such a wooden building is so eye-catching.
But what is more striking is that in front of such a building, there are already people waiting.
It was a combination of a man and a woman.
The man was wearing a knight uniform of the Knights of the Guards, with a sword on his waist. He looked handsome and handsome, but he stayed aside loyally and waited quietly.
The woman is wearing clothes made of animal fur, wearing a fox fur skirt that attracts attention when she sees her. She has a slightly petite figure and long lavender wavy hair. Ridiculous and unpredictable smile.
This pair of men and women are naturally no strangers to Fang Li and his party.
The former is known as the best knight, also known as the elf knight, and is regarded as the second-in-command existence in the Knights of the Guards --- Julius-Euclius.
The latter is one of the current five candidates for the king, and together with Crusch, is known as the most popular businessman who is most likely to win the throne——— Anastasia Hexin.
The person who invited the Emilia camp is now waiting for the guests at the meeting place.
It wasn't until the large army stopped in front of the Water Feather Clothes Pavilion that Anastasia suddenly smiled and brought Julius forward together.
"Is it finally here?"
With a Kansai accent, Anastasia greeted everyone getting off the dragon carriage.
"Long time no see. It seems that you have had a good year."
The rather relaxed tone did not ease the atmosphere.
Because, everyone knows it.
The woman in front of her seemed to be very friendly, but she was actually an extremely greedy businessman.
And Fang Li felt a line of sight.
That was the line of sight from Lilius.
Fang Li met Julius' gaze and looked at the best knight.
A calm look.
There was a frightening look in one of his eyes.
