Chapter 332 The Imperial City
The tall city walls reflected a vast white light under the sunlight. According to legend, this big city was so prosperous that it had a thousand gates and a full three hundred circles of walls. Although the legend was exaggerated, Deschanel did indeed have 20 gates. There are many gates and six circles of city walls. When you walk into the big city gate and look up from the bottom, you will feel that the city wall is as lofty as a mountain. On the towering towers are hung the eagle flag of the empire. Many of the houses are decorated with various flags, which are the flags of different guilds.

There are constant residents coming and going on the outskirts of the city. There are not only Deschanels, but also many foreigners, orcs, three-eyed apes, dwarves, etc. They speak different languages. Under the accumulation of time, The original unified Logos language has given birth to hundreds of languages. Not only are different races unable to communicate, but even the same race may not be able to understand what the other party is saying as long as they are separated by a mountain or a river.

Enos rode a horse, showed something to the guard stationed here, and then said a few words in pure Deschanel, the guard immediately became nervous, turned around and boarded the tower, not long after, the captain of the guard was arrested Bringing it over, he looked up at Ainos who was on the horse.

"Notify the manager."

Enos ordered.

The captain of the guard did not dare to delay, he immediately sent someone to ride a fast horse to the palace, and then respectfully saluted the princess on the horse, and solemnly saluted her.

Enos and Mira entered the city in this way, and the latter looked at the scene of the imperial city curiously.

Prosperity, apart from prosperity, there is nothing to say. This city is full of dignitaries and nobles, and there are also low-status poor slaves. Competing for luxury and sophistication, towering aqueducts continuously transport clear spring water there, while the latter live in the outskirts of the city and inside the first three walls, with small and crowded houses, narrow roads, filth everywhere, and fire from time to time. , Riot harassment.

The whole Deschanel is like an orderly pyramid.

Ainos led Mira towards the sixth city wall, and the journey was unimpeded. The two captured assassins were still unconscious from the bumps on their horses, unaware that they were being sent to the empire step by step. center of power.

Walking past the Grand Theatre, the Helu Arena, the Racetrack, the House of Representatives, the Deschanel Cathedral... and other landmark buildings, Mira finally saw the magnificent Grand Palace, which she had watched many times in the sky. But when I actually walked in front of this red and white imperial palace, I couldn't help but be shocked by it.

The chief steward of the palace was waiting in front of the gate of the palace early on. The eunuch bowed down to salute the returning princess, and behind him were only six or seven eunuch servants and maids. Obviously, Ainos's return did not disturb too much. many people.

The head steward, named Romanus, looked up and down Meera with pointed eyes, and the latter gave him a friendly smile.

"Romanus, I'm going to see my father, you need to settle her first, and these two assassins."

Ainos turned over and got off the horse, then rode on the new horse brought by the maid, turned her head and told Mira:

"Please wait for me for a while, I will come to entertain you soon."

Facing Ainos' exhortation, Mira nodded obediently.

.............................................

Mira waited patiently for Ainos's return in a palace built with jade railings. The chief executive, Romanus, stood not far from Mira like a wooden sculpture. He seemed to be monitoring Mira's every move. , and seemed to be guarding Mira's safety.

This palace was used by the emperor to receive envoys and the family members of other kings. Mira looked at every decoration here curiously, whether it was antiques with a long history or various gemstones inlaid on the wall, driven by novelty No matter how much she looks at it, she never gets tired of it.

Mira stayed in a daze for nearly half a day, until the sun sank to the west and the sky turned a rich faint yellow, and Ainos' figure appeared in the palace.

Romanus, who looked like a wooden sculpture, finally made a move. He went up to greet him, and said respectfully:

"Your Highness... your injury should take a good rest..."

"Thank you for your reminder and your impeccable loyalty.

But for now, I'm going to entertain my savior first. "

After finishing speaking, Enos added,
"I believe that God is also pleased to see my actions."

"It's God's will."

Romanus replied in a low voice, this is an idiomatic everyday expression.

Although the Deschanel Empire accommodates different beliefs and tolerates thousands of gods, the center of the empire, whether it is the elders of the Senate, the capital council, or the emperor aloft, are all baptized true believers.

Seeing Enos approaching, Mira waved her hands excitedly.

Enos walked over, she sat down in front of Mira with a polite smile on her face.

"How are you doing here?"

she asked.

"Not bad, it's really beautiful here."

Mira praised from the bottom of her heart, and then she asked:
"Why did those people assassinate you?"

"This is a complicated question. Before answering this question, I want to ask you something, Mira."

Hearing the princess' question, Mira nodded.

"Where did you come from? Why did you appear out of nowhere? What did you want to do when you came to Deschanel?"

Enos's questions were like cannonballs.

Mira sorted out all these questions in her mind, and after hesitating, she replied:
"I can't tell you where I come from."

"Then why did you fall from the sky?"

Enos asked.

"You asked me why I fell from the sky, because I was holding a paraglider and just landed there..."

Mira answered honestly.

The queen looked surprised and said in disbelief:
"That is to say, there are thousands of places in the world, and you just happened to fall by my side?"

"Yes, it's amazing, I think it's amazing too."

The princess, who has long been used to dealing with power, has discerned countless hypocrisy, and at this moment, there is no trace of hypocrisy on Mira's face.

"Okay... what do you want to do when you come to Deschanel?"

Enos dubiously believed Mira's words, and asked the last question.

"Feel the wind here, see the people coming and going, and see the magnificent buildings like this palace... Oh, and opera, I want to see opera!"

Facing Enos, the pure-hearted Mira unreservedly told her purpose of coming to Deschanel.

And the imperial daughter of the empire saw Mira's shining eyes.

For some reason, under such clear eyes, she couldn't help but want to fulfill Mira's wish.

"Alright then... have you... heard of Thousand City Academy?"
