Xia Ya was in a coma for several hours before he woke up. In the morning, Ruhl had brought people to visit. Hearing that Xia Ya was in a coma, Fatty was also really startled. Looking at the collapsed house where Xia Ya lived, the fat man's eyes couldn't help but look a little weird. He squatted in the ruins and looked left and right. When he finally came out, his face was very strange, and he casually ordered the people below to clean it up. , and did not mention finding a craftsman to rebuild a house, and immediately went to see Xi Ya.
When Xia woke up, she saw Fatty sitting on the head of her bed. She had already been carried to Dodoro and Soyette's room. As soon as she touched the fire fork beside her, she suddenly became smart and sat up from the bed. .
"What are you looking for?" Ruhl smiled slightly, picked up the fire fork from the bed and handed it to Xia Ya: "Is it this?"
Xia Ya smiled and took a look.
"What's the matter with you?" Ruhl frowned: "I lent you a good house, but you demolished my house."
"I'll pay you." The turtle got up and got out of bed, still feeling a little weak, and a little surprised: This damn fire fork has simply drained his energy, and he hasn't recovered after resting for so long
"Did you practice martial arts in your room last night?" Lu Er helped Fu Xiaya and whispered: "I have seen the ruins, and it seems that I was directly defeated by some powerful fighting spirit."
Xia Ya responded casually, but Ruhl didn't ask questions when he saw that he wouldn't go into details. After resting for a while, the fat man said: "I don't trust you, so I came here to have a look. It's not surprising that there is no news from the military, but there is no one sent by Your Majesty to call you for an interview. I'm afraid that there will be what is the problem."
Xia Ya looked at Fatty: "If I don't see it, I will disappear. It's not a big deal that the emperor doesn't want to see me."
Ruhl frowned a little: "You don't understand! Boy, the military has long been unhappy with you now! The reason why I didn't give you some black pot shoes or the like is because His Majesty said he wanted to see you before. If His Majesty If you value you, the military will not be able to attack you. If your majesty forgets you and leaves you aside, then you will be completely helpless. At that time, the military will not say anything about you, and I am afraid even the crown prince will not. I will accommodate you!"
Xia Ya still doesn't care: "I can't control the emperor's decision to see me or not. Could it be that I can rush into the palace to see him by myself?"
"I think this matter is a bit wicked." Ruhl shook his head: "It stands to reason that His Majesty's call should have come long ago, but... Yi? Will this matter have anything to do with Caviehir?"
Xia Ya just shook his head, Fatty guessed for a while, but didn't have a clue, so he didn't say anything. After a while, Xia Ya said: "I have one more thing to ask you... General Ruhr, I brought back Kevin's widow. She is pregnant and is Kevin's posthumous child. No matter what, I will take care of it. Take care of her. If the military department can issue an order earlier to fix my military rank and awards, even if I am sent to some backcountry to be idle, I don't care, I will go directly to the happy days with someone. "
"You... don't worry about your future at all?" Fatty frowned.
"What are you worried about? In the backcountry, is there any place more remote than Wildfire Town?" Xia Ya laughed, and then said sternly: "I ask you to help me go to the military to find out the news, I don't want anything to flourish, I just want a result , and then I'll just leave as soon as possible."
Fatty hesitated for a while, as if he had something to say, but in the end he held it back, gave Xia Ya a deep look, sat for a while, got up and left, but today he sent someone to deliver some food and clothing. I heard that Fatty had already gone to see Yulia when Char was in a coma. He is now the general of the 13th Corps. In name, if Kevin was alive, he would be considered a direct leader. He went to see Yulia, which was really comforting, and left a note when he left. money.
Xia Ya got up to eat lunch, rested for a while, and regained some strength. Seeing that Dodo Luo had put his head into the room several times to spy, and knowing what this guy was thinking, Xia Ya took the initiative to walk out and grabbed it. To Doro: "What are you looking at sneakily?"
Seeing the mage faltering, Xia Ya laughed: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to that magician's union to help you figure it out, so that you won't feel uneasy."
Duoduo was overjoyed, the flattering words in his mouth came out like a surging river, and he spit out. After listening for a while, Xia Ya was a little dark at first, but he heard a lot more. A little impatient, he kicked the guy: "Stop talking nonsense, lead the way!"
This time, when he went out, Xia Ya learned to behave well. He didn't want to bother the guards left by Ruhl to run around, so he changed clothes with Dodoro, jumped over the wall and jumped into a small alley next door, and quickly slipped away. out.
Xia Ya wore an ordinary linen robe and a cloak. The leather boots in the army were also replaced by ordinary cloth shoes. Even the fire fork that was always with him was hidden in the large robe, which looked like a Ordinary Osgilia, and Dodoro was very excited when he returned to the Magician's Union this time. He didn't know where to find a gray magician-style robe. His face was clean, except for his chest. Apart from not wearing the magician badge before, it looks exactly the same as the first time he met Char in Wildfire Town.
The two walked through the streets and alleys, all the way to the north of the city. The city of Osgilia covers a huge area. The two walked through the central square and through several bustling blocks. It was so embarrassing for people to harass, but I calmed down and had a good view of the city scenery of Osgiliari. This famous miracle city on the mainland is really extraordinary. Along the way, I saw some majestic history. Famous buildings, the majestic towers, towers, sculptures, and stone tablets in the city have left traces of history everywhere. Even a canal in the city that runs through the north and south, and the bridges on the canal, I am afraid that there are hundreds of years. history.
When we reached the area in the north of the city, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually became sparse. Occasionally, some riders on horseback passed by. They also deliberately slowed down and did not dare to gallop here. Some carriages passing by on the road also looked like Luxurious, rich, and exquisitely decorated, there are horse-riding guards in front and back, and even the grooms who drive the carriages are neatly dressed, obviously they are people of considerable status.
From a distance, I saw the top of a tower, and the highest point of the tower, a huge bell hanging, a straight and wide road leading to the tower, walking on the road, I heard the sound of the bell coming from the bell tower. , The sound of the bell is thick and strong, with a long and ancient atmosphere, washing people's hearts, Xiaya listened to the solemn sound of the bell, and couldn't help but look a little more rigorous.
Under the bell tower is the church, the headquarters of the Byzantine Empire, the largest church building on the continent: Hagia Sophia!
At the end of the road, above a few steps is a wide square. The road divides left and right when it reaches the bottom of the square, and circles around the square. The square above the steps is probably hundreds of steps wide. Paved with blue-gray marble, the square is surrounded by a circle of circular pottery vertical arch columns. Each column is so thick that it takes three or four strong men to embrace it. The column is full of carvings left by various ancient art masters. The relief patterns, some of which have been incomplete, still exude the taste of a long history.
There were not many people in the huge square, only a few people in black church clergy robes walked hurriedly with their heads lowered. There were also some pigeons in the square, dancing and dancing quietly, even if someone passed by, there was no response. Occasionally a few flew up, and under the solemn sound of bells and drums, it seemed even more holy.
The Hagia Sophia is at the end of the square. The front is a middle-high arrangement on both sides. The tallest tower in the middle oscillates with bells and drums. The elliptical roof is combined with a pointed tower. A row of huge windows is arranged above the church. However, they all use rare stained glass, but when viewed from a distance, under the sun, they become colorful colors.
The central tower of the church is probably 100 meters high from the ground. When I walked under the main entrance of the church and looked up, I felt a sense of majesty and oppression. The door was also more than ten meters high. The temple guards warriors wearing simple armor, the armor on the body is very different from the Byzantine warrior style that Char has seen. The round long axe looked dignified and solemn.
These warriors stood under the wall, their eyes were flat, but they turned a blind eye to Xia who was standing in front of the door. The guard warriors on both sides lifted the long axes and crossed them in front of the door, forming an ax door leading to the door. Under the door, you have to pass the cold axe blade.
The door of this church is divided into three parts. Except for the door in the center, the side doors on both sides do not have these temple guards warriors with axes, but the side doors on both sides are much smaller and the doors are half-closed.
Xia Ya was about to walk towards the main entrance, but was stopped by Dotolo and whispered, "Wait a minute! The main entrance is not allowed! Only during New Year's and major festivals every year, the main entrance can be passed through. , except the Pope himself and His Majesty the Emperor, no one is allowed to pass through the main entrance."
Xia Ya muttered, looked at the golden armored temple warriors under the main gate in the distance, and wrinkled: "Isn't it superfluous to make a gate but not let people go."
Saying this in his mouth made Dodolo pale with fright. He was afraid that this daring turtle would say something to be heard, so he hurriedly pulled him and walked towards the side door on the side.
Although this side door is not as majestic as the main door, it is still several meters high. Glancing at Xiaya and Dodoro, he looked away, letting them go in.
"The hall of the church is usually open. In theory, both nobles and ordinary citizens can come in to pray and pay their respects. It's just that nobles can come in and out at will, while ordinary citizens can only allow it on specific two days of each month. Entered. As for the usual prayers, there are several smaller churches in Osgilia, and those are the places to pray for the ordinary poor people." Dodoro introduced two words in a low voice.
Walking into the main hall, Xiaya immediately took a deep breath.
The interior of this hall is more than ten meters high when looking up, and the open sides are also dozens of meters wide. When you look inside, it is at least 100 meters deep! !
This is the first time that Xiaya has seen such a large hall in his life. In order to support such a large hall, there are two rows of square stone pillars on both sides of the hall to support the roof. On the walls more than ten meters high on both sides, the works of various art masters of the past dynasties, reliefs, murals and various sculptures of various religious themes are scattered all over the walls, and the top of the wall is close to the roof. There are also flowers and floating clouds carved on both sides, implying the meaning of "going up is heaven".
In many places, there are also some colorful stained glass on the walls, forming some strange mural patterns, nothing more than some angels descending to save the world from suffering, or the gods bestowing miracles to illuminate the earth, and then there are Just directly carved some statues of gods.
There were no lights in the hall, but there was still plenty of light. After being reminded by Todoro, Xiaya looked up and saw that on the ceiling of the room, there was actually a complete and huge mural!
The mural is tens of meters wide and 100 meters deep, covering the top of the entire hall. Under the sun, a faint golden figure appeared in the clouds, and it was naturally the existence of a god...
The entire mural is beautifully and solemnly carved, and the most amazing thing is that it seems to be some kind of magic circle! The floating clouds on the mural, if you look carefully, it seems that they are really flowing slowly! The angels on the frescoes also seem to spread their wings and fly slowly, shuttle in the clouds, and the golden sun also exudes a faint golden light, and it is this golden light that illuminates the hall, and The light not only illuminates, but Xiaya also clearly feels that when the light falls on his body, his body naturally produces a warm and soft, yet somewhat holy, majestic feeling!
This magic circle can not only provide lighting, but also automatically emit a divine breath to create momentum!
It's no wonder that as soon as I walked into the main hall, I immediately felt the sacred smell that was everywhere. Even the frescoes and reliefs on the walls looked impressive. It turned out to be this magic circle on the top of my head. effect.
The hall looks solemn and quiet. Occasionally in the hall, some well-dressed nobles can be seen standing quietly in front of the fresco reliefs on the wall, and some devout noble believers kneel in front of the statues on the wall with their hands and eyes closed. pray. There are also some noble women, no matter how old or young, dressed luxuriously or elegantly, they all wear cloaks, cover their faces with veils, and occasionally pass by Xia Ya and Dotolo, these people also look awe-inspiring, their eyes are calm and serious , there is no verbal communication between them.
Obviously, in this solemn hall, everyone's behavior is extremely restrained. Even if Xiaya walks a little harder, others will cast dissatisfied eyes. Some people frown and look at Xiaya, then withdraw their eyes, Ignore the two of them.
As for the rough pieces of Xiaya, he naturally has no appreciation for the relief murals left by the priceless art masters on the walls on both sides. Are all gold pieces made of pure gold? If that's the case, throw it on the wall so casually, there is not even a guard around, and so many people come and go every day, aren't you afraid of being stolen?
As for the other Holy Light Gospels, for this guy, there is no comprehension at all.
I quickly walked to the end of the hall. There were two thick and heavy wooden doors on the front. The top frame of the round arched wooden door was covered with multicolored glass. The corners of the door below were wrapped with golden iron corners. There was a faint sound of a hymn and tune from inside, and after listening to a few words, Xiaya had no idea what it was singing, so she simply turned around and left, and followed Dotolo to the side door next to it.
After walking out of the side door, Dotolo introduced that the wooden door was the real main room of the church. There were statues and altars that were said to have a history of thousands of years. The main room inside the church could accommodate up to three thousand people. People pray at the same time, and every month ten archbishop-level clergy in the church take turns presiding over the prayer service. As for asking the Pope to preside over the ceremony in person, we can only wait until the New Year every year.
From the side door, you will come to the inner square of the church. This inner square is surrounded by the main building of the church. It is surrounded by tall buildings and walls, which completely isolate the inside of the church from the outside world. The area of the inner square is larger than the one in front of the church. The square is only large and not small, and the surrounding walls are as tall as a city tower, but it is a circle of buildings surrounded by a circle. There are twelve towers in it, each of which is said to belong to an archbishop in the church, and the one with the highest front. A tower is where the Pope himself lives.
"The building on the north side belongs to the high-level clergy of the church. There is a prayer room, as well as a place to store the sacred relics of the past dynasties, the meeting room of the elders in the church, and the place where the clergy at all levels of the church manage the teaching affairs.
The building on the south side belongs to the Inquisition... Well, if you have nothing to do, try not to go there as much as possible. The Inquisition is also the most terrifying existence in the church. It is responsible for inspecting those infidels all over the mainland, as well as inspecting the religious affairs all over the mainland. The inquisition is responsible for punishing the rebels... Hmph, you saw those pillars in the square outside just now, but in the church, everyone knows that the most famous pillars are not the reliefs outside, but... The stake! For thousands of years, I don't know how many people have been burned to death.
Zhengxi is the library in the church, which stores the ancient doctrinal books and documents, and the canons and decrees of the church methods of the past dynasties. At the same time, it is also the college in the church, which is responsible for training and teaching the clergy.
Is it due east... it's the magician's union. The Magician's Union is directly led by the church and is responsible for reviewing the identities and levels of all magicians in the empire, as well as some management of the magic world, and customizing industry rules. At the same time, there is also a magic school, but it is only responsible for training low-level magic apprentices, only from Basic magic theory and potions are taught at the beginning, and you can be regarded as a qualified magic apprentice after learning. As for the future, if you want to go one step further and become a magician, you must find a way to become a disciple under the door of a magician. It is possible to learn further real magic. "
Duoduo introduced quickly, and said in a low voice: "However, the union stipulates that only one who has reached the level of a middle-level magician is eligible to accept an apprentice. I graduated from the magic academy here and got a magic apprenticeship. Qualification, and was accepted as a disciple by my teacher, who taught me some real magic, but unfortunately my talent is too poor, and my magic cultivation is only one level, so I can no longer be promoted... The teacher also gave up on me later. …”
Speaking of the past, Duoduo was quite sighed, and obviously he still deeply cared about his being abandoned by his teacher because of his poor talent.
"Magic academy, magic apprentice..." Xia touched his chin and was a little curious: "Can anyone who graduates from this academy become a magic apprentice? What do these magic apprentices do after graduation? If there is no magician after graduation What should I do if I accept it as a disciple? Do I go out and change my career?"
Duoduo smiled: "Master, the situation you mentioned is very rare. The magic union itself also needs someone to maintain daily work, and those who can join the magic union to work, ordinary people can't do it! Otherwise, Ordinary people work in the magic union, doesn’t it make the union a great shame? The magic apprentices who graduate here every year, if there is really no magician willing to accept them as disciples, they have the opportunity to stay in the magic union to work, even if it is an odd job, it is magic after all. What about the people in the trade union? Besides, there are some noble families out there who like to be arty and yearn for magic. If they can't recruit magicians to work for them, they can recruit a few magic apprentices, which is better than nothing. At least, the magic apprentices who graduated from here , even if there is no real magic, but magic theory and potions are definitely qualified. As long as you master potions, you will be very useful outside! Whether you are a doctor or a mercenary group of warriors If you are a team player, if you are proficient in potions, you will be very useful."
With that said, the two had already walked to the building group on the east side of the square. Looking at the surface of the building in front of them, there was a layer of relief of a six-pointed star floating on the surface of the building. Xiaya raised his head and glanced at it. At the urging of Dodo Luo, He strode into the door.
What Xia Ya didn't know was that he and Dodoro walked into the back of the Magic Union, but fell into the eyes of others far away.
On the other side of the square, a tall and slender figure hid behind a pillar beside the wall, pressed one hand tightly on his chest, widened his eyes, stuck out half of his head from behind the pillar, and stared at the opposite. The door of the magic union!
Watching Xiaya and Dodoro walk in, the slender figure walked out cautiously. Behind her is the door to the library of the church's scriptures, and a man in a black robe walked out from there. Under the robe, he was obviously wearing soft armour. This man was handsome, with a neatly trimmed beard and a well-cut robe. , although it was a black robe, but rolled with a gorgeous gold border, and walked to the side of this slender figure, the man smiled slightly: "Adeline, what are you looking at?"
Adeline, the poor bastard, was startled by the voice behind her, and almost cried out, turned around to see who was coming, put her hands on her chest, and then sighed: "Uncle Chip, you scared me to death. "
The person behind him is naturally the knight Chip who picked up the poor worm on the Wildfire Plain. As the crown prince's confidant and a master knight, Chip was instructed to protect His Highness Adeline from coming to the church to pray. This Highness was protected by the Crown Prince in the palace on the outskirts of the country. He had been holding back for many days and was going crazy. After many pleas, he was finally allowed to come to the church to pray today. His Royal Highness is still sternly watching Chip and must be careful to protect it. , especially not allowing Adeline to talk to anyone.
Once Adeline can go out, she is like a free bird. Even if she is told that she is not allowed to talk to anyone, it is still good to go outside and breathe the free air, although she is only allowed to go to boring places like the church. Go, but as long as she can go out, it is already a great pleasure for her.
It's just that she flipped through the scriptures for a while in the separate reading room of the church library, and came out to get some sunshine, but she didn't expect that in this place, she saw that figure that she could never forget! ! !
Although Adeline forced a smile on her face, coping with Kip Knight's question, the same question kept running in her heart over and over again: what is he
How could it be him
How did he come to the imperial capital
This bastard... he, he, he... is he here to find me
Thinking of this, a blush suddenly appeared on that beautiful and pale face...
The look in her eyes couldn't help but blur, and she couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the Magic Union.
Ah... yes! He was actually with that magician named Dodo Luo... Maybe that Dodo Luo told him my identity, he... Did he really come to the imperial capital to find me
He... Has he come to see me
I weighed the struggle in my heart, and for a while, I didn't know whether it was joy or worry, but I couldn't help but ask myself another question.
If... If I can see him, can I run away with him? He He…
Alas, even meeting him and having a few words with him would be good...
For a time, the poor worm's heart was like a numbness, and his heart was like a deer.
