Chapter 190: Pompeii

Views:

The longest distance between the northern and southern borders of Jade Kingdom is seven thousand miles. WwW, qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo, and cOm are converted into Tangulasui, and one enemy unit can hit more than 13,000 miles. This canal is nearly five thousand miles long without its source in Phoenix.

The boat Salin hired was not very fast and could only travel about 100 miles per hour. However, it worked day and night and could cover nearly 500 miles in one day. If it is a real clipper bombardment, even if it is only a sail bombardment, it may reach the level of thousands of miles per day.

The journey from Ivantel to Pompeii happened to be the last few days of the Five Thousand Miles Tour. The captain speeded up the sailing, and it took exactly ten days to reach Pangchu City from Ivantel.

these ten days. Salin had a great time. On the last day, he and Rex finally mastered a little bit of the skills to dispel each other's magic. This skill may have no effect on others, but the ability of two people to cooperate with each other has been doubled.

Pompeii is also a large port city. It is the intersection of the canal and the Emerald River, where the two rivers merge into a wider river that flows eastward into the sea.

Pompeii's geographical location was more important and its commerce was more developed. The boats hired by Salin were to be inspected here. Stop by for some water and vegetables.

The captain came to Salin specially and said: "Master Master, the Flanaken needs to be inspected for maintenance in Pompeii. This ship was originally registered in Pompeii. It will take a day. Do you want it?" Going for a walk in the city? Ni

Salin wanted to say no. Rex had already said: "Okay, I just feel a little bored on the ship. Let's go to Pompeii and have a look."

Since Rex wanted to go ashore and blast Salin, it didn't matter. Sikka has been studying the bone necklace these days. Saying that he didn't want to leave, Salin was not at ease when Nailis was placed on the boat. He had to let Sikka stay alone. But Rex took Nailis off the boat and walked to the dock.

The wharf of Pompeii is larger than Ivantel. It is connected to the largest seaport in the empire to the east, and directly to the southern border of the empire to the west. The north and south are connected by the artery of the Grand Canal. The three intersections form an extremely prosperous city.

There is no need to bombard Pompeii with Ivantel. It is an ancient city that has a history even older than Qin Yin. It's just that the current city of Pompeii was built later.

Rex explained the history of Pompeii to Salin with great interest. Boom, this ancient city originally belonged to a duke of the Fourth Dynasty. Boom, the black magician's rebellion started. Boom, the Fourth Dynasty was no longer able to control the local nobles. Boom, the Lord of Pompeii. He became a powerful person.

Before the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Pompeii was one of the few cities in the south that was not conquered immediately.

Countless soldiers died in Pompeii, and the founding emperor was furious and sent eight ninth-level magicians. Eight scrolls of forbidden spells were cast in different directions in Pompeii. Thousands of years old city was destroyed. Today's Pompeii was rebuilt by later emperors based on captured alchemical drawings.

When the city was rebuilt, millions of bones were unearthed from the ashes of Pompeii. You can imagine how prosperous Pompeii was back then.

Saleen stood at the foot of the city and gradually listened to Rex's description of the history of this majestic city. He was deeply shocked in his heart. The white Pompeii is magnificent. If the material is not included, the scale of the city is not smaller than that of the Holy Rock City. The most eye-catching ones are on both sides of the main entrance. The white city walls are covered with lifelike magical images painted by magicians.

It was a picture of a real battle blasted on a long scroll with the city wall as the carrier, carefully describing the situation when Qin Yin's army attacked Pompeii. This huge picture was all printed on the white stone city wall with dragon's blood ink. It was clearly black and white, but it gave Salin the smell of blood.

Qin Yin soldiers wearing double metal heavy armor stood on a several-meter-high building chariot and jumped towards Pompeii's city wall. The carts were being towed by huge demonic beasts. Qin's armored cavalry met the Pompeian army rushing out from the city gate. Huge flying puppets gradually flew out from Pompeii's city walls and rushed toward them in thick smoke.

.

The rear of the battlefield. Qin Yin's army was assembling magic stone cannons, and trebuchets were fired from Pompeii to attack these magic apprentices who were assembling stone cannons. The huge chariot was destroyed by the boulders thrown by the trebuchet. The war horses and monsters were rolling on the ground in pain. A soldier ended the life of his mount without using a dagger.

The magic apprentices concentrated their attention on the boulders thrown in the city and turned a blind eye.

The picture is still. It's like the battlefield has been fixed forever by magic. Qin Yin's magician faithfully recorded the scene of that year, and Hong Salin, who is not righteous, only saw the tragedy.

The city gate has two levels. There is a metal bridge suspended over the Wengcheng. There are arrow holes on the metal bridge and can be bombarded from above to attack enemies who enter the Wengcheng at will. The scale of this urn city is quite large. In the center stands a stone tablet that is higher than the city wall. The white stone tablet is engraved with names.

"These are the Qin Yin people who died in Pompeii. On the back is the list of the fallen soldiers of Pompeii. This is how Qin Yin was established." Rex stood under the stone tablet and gradually showed a look of respect in his eyes.

She respects the founder of the country and also respects the Archduke Pompey who died in battle.

"I wonder what those nobles who are refusing to advance or retreat in Garulan will think when they see the two monuments of work, hey." Rex's tone became sinister, and she revealed the temperament of an empire king.

"If you were a Scotian, you wouldn't do this." Todoroki Salin looked at the white stone tablet and suddenly said to Rex with emotion.

"Oh?" What would the Scotian do? Erasing history

"The Scotia people will surround all these paintings and stone tablets and build a city. Anyone who wants to see it must pay at least one silver coin.

"Hahahaha" Rex gradually laughed. Salin's joke was a bit cold but it relieved her depressed mood very well. “Salin Boom, I didn’t expect you to tell jokes. Boom.

"I didn't expect you to laugh like this." Salin looked around and many people had been attracted by Rex's laughter. Rex and Nailis both looked beautiful. He smiled wildly and didn't care about other people's eyes. Salin didn't like being looked at. There were many people visiting the stone monument here. Salin pulled Rex's sleeve.

There were Qin Yin soldiers standing guard next to the stone tablet. Several soldiers looked at Salin's mage robes, but did not come up to dissuade Rex from his rude behavior.

"Let's go into the city. There are trading houses from the Yunliu Empire in Pompeii, and there are also Scotia people doing business here. Maybe we can buy the goods we need.

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

Salin had long felt that something was wrong. He is a fourth-level mage and wears a white mage robe, and Rex's colorful magic robe is even more eye-catching. Behind him was Nelise. It was late summer and Nelise was still wearing winter clothes.

Fortunately, I didn't bring Si Ka out with me. Si Ka's weapons were quite shocking. The four of them were attracting attention wherever they went.

"What are you afraid of? Todoroki is in Alchemy City. There are all kinds of strange costumes, and there are magicians wearing animal skins. Todoroki is the same as the Caucasian people.

Seeing Salin's depressed look, Rex smiled and said: "Then get Shika a beautiful dress. Jin Jian, I can give you a set of magic robes with the teacher's three constant magics on it. You can wear it until you are six years old." class

Rex was used to being generous to the people around her, so she said casually, not realizing that the gray magic robe was originally worn by her and was given to Salin, which was somewhat inappropriate.

Fortunately, Saleen would forget his two identities as Princess Rex and beauty as soon as he touched the word magic. He remembered Rex's original gray magic robe, which was a good piece of equipment. What's more, there are three constant magic spells for eighth-level wizards, which are very important to me.

"Why don't you find a place and put it on 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? You put on the gray magic robe and you still have the nerve to bargain with others? Boom Rex took Salin to the center of Pompeii.

The prosperity of Pompeii is different from that of Holy Rock City. There are too many businessmen from other places. There are clouds of people coming from both directions of the sea and the Scotia people coming from the northern canal. What makes Salin strange the most is that Boom There are also Tangula people here.

The two countries have gone to war, and these merchants are not afraid of being killed by the emperor to vent their anger, so they still stay in Qin Yin. This really costs money rather than life. The current emperor's father died at the hands of the Holy See.

"Rex, I see you are quite familiar with the road. Have you been to Pompeii before? Salin followed Rex Jin off the main road and turned around in the alleys to a city with old buildings. Here's The store fronts are not big, but each one has a huge crystal display window. This kind of crystal display window means that the store is special. In addition to valuables, this is usually where bulk commodities are traded. There is no need for a large store.

This style was passed down from the Scotia Empire.

"I have memorized the map of every city in Qin with a population of more than 10,000." Rex was a little proud. This is the advantage of the royal family. Only by mastering the details of every city in the empire can they better control the local nobles. Qin Yin's city construction is not arbitrary. It must have the approval of the royal family. There are complete alchemy drawings. There are less than thirty kinds of fixed patterns.

More than twenty kinds of city layouts can play a huge role in wartime. There are many changes among them. However, for a great magician like Rex, Pompey's basic layout will not change no matter how much he changes.

The three people came to a small square. The ground of the square was paved with dark red bricks, and there were several bronze statues standing there. It was surrounded by low shops, each of which was no more than two floors. In Pompeii, where land is at a premium, such a house is even more expensive.

"Which one should I choose?" Rex looked around. There are more than forty stores here, and those who can open a store here have certain capabilities.

"Just that one." Salin gradually pointed to a larger shop. This shop is three times as big as other shops. The roof is high on one side, but it only has one floor. The doors and windows of this shop are larger than others. A big circle, with quite the temperament of a nouveau riche. Salin knew in his heart that there would be no nouveau riche here, only big and shrewd businessmen.
