396. The King of the North
The Emerald finally arrived at the city of Ilinas, located at the southernmost tip of the Emerald Bay, before sunset.
The airship sailed along the coastline of Palestina for nearly a whole day before it was considered to be this beautiful coastal city.
This is a peninsula-like land, surrounded by the sea on three sides. Looking at the continent from the sky, it stretches into the blue sea like a curved horn.
The entire city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the exquisite buildings are arranged in steps according to the mountain direction, which is completely the pattern of a mountain city.
A giant statue more than two hundred meters high stands on the top of the highest mountain in Ilinas City. It is a philosopher's stone statue wearing a magical robe. He hangs down freely with one hand and raises a staff high with the other. At the top of the staff is a loft-shaped building.
The airship happened to pass by the statue, and I clearly saw a lighthouse on the top of the hollowed-out staff.
I think that at night, the tincture oil in the copper basin in this lighthouse will burn, and the fire released by the lighthouse can guide the ships sailing on the sea to gather from all directions to the port of Ilinas City.
In the evening, the city of Ilinas was covered with a layer of golden wool coat by the setting sun. People on the beach began to leave one after another, and the streets and alleys of the city were filled with bustling crowds.
Not only does it have a thin and soft white beach, but it also has a deep-water pier next to the stone cliff on the north side of the mountain city. It is a very good haven, with hundreds of large ships anchored on the port.
Noah took Shirley Newman's hand and pointed to a magnificent palace-style building under the statue of the giant master, saying, "Here, it's my home. I usually like to live in a tall tower, that's it!"
He pointed to a building towering like a chimney on the corner of the palace, and happily introduced his residence to Shirley Newman.
Shirley Newman looked at Noah in surprise, with a laughing and crying expression on his face, frowned slightly, and stared at his big eyes in surprise, "How could you like living in a tower?"
"It's really nice to live there!" Noah hugged Shirley Newman's shoulder, pointed to the tall tower top and said, "On summer evening, the tower top is very cool and you can enjoy the swelling sea breeze."
"It is the only wizard tower in the city of Ilinas, which contains thousands of magical scriptures. The magic holy place that young magicians in Palestina Province yearn for the most." The captain of the Emerald stood not far away, holding his hands on the side of the ship, looking at the gorgeous palace, and said with envy.
Shirley Newman covered his slightly opened lips because of surprise and turned his head to stare at Noah.
"To me, it's just a tower in our house that can enjoy beautiful scenery. Living in it in summer is particularly cool, that's all!" Noah scratched her head and said to Shirley Newman with a smile.
After hovering around the city of Ilinas, the airship kept falling and finally landing smoothly on the airport dock outside the city.
The airport terminal outside Ilinas City is also very special. Strictly speaking, this is not an airport terminal at all, but a steep slope of 90 degrees on one side and a gentle slope of 30 degrees on the other side, like a petal-like cliff.
The imaginative Palastinas repaired all the uneven terrain next to the cliff. The cracks and low-lying areas were filled with stone slurry. The raised rocks were chiseled off by stonemasons. The most edge of the cliff was built with metal railings, and several airships of different styles were docked next to the cliff.
The Emerald slowly entered the airport. When the crew threw the ropes on the airport dock, opened the wooden door on the side of the ship, and placed heavy wooden boards between the airport dock and the deck. The passengers waiting on the deck carried their luggage and walked off the airship with joy.
Perhaps in order to understand the timid mood of the boat passengers, there are as many as ten such passages on the "Architecture". No one is stuck or surrounded at an exit. The guests on the boat building are all nobles who purchased luxury tickets. We followed the captain of the "Architecture" out of the airship in advance from the dedicated passage.
The airport terminal in Ilinas is very different from the airport terminal in Imperial Capital.
In the airport town of the imperial capital, if you want to take a flight, you must climb the tall tower dock so that you can board the airship.
In this way, those magic schooners could not be parked on the tower dock anyway. We walked down from the airship and had to walk for a while before we could get on the magic schooner.
But the airport dock in Ilinas City is built on a stone cliff, and those magic caravans can directly enter the airport dock from the gentle slope on the other side to pick up people.
As soon as I walked to the stone cliff, I saw three temporarily new silver magic caravans parked quietly on the airport dock. A group of waiters in gorgeous clothes stood quietly next to the magic caravan. However, it seemed that the magic caravans could enter the airport dock were still the only rights of the privileged class. The passengers who walked down the springboard were still walking slowly down the flat mountain road to the bottom of the stone cliff.
Many passengers pointed at the three gorgeous silver magic caravans, their eyes full of envy.
Noah and I walked side by side. When we saw three magic caravans parked next to the dock, we secretly pulled Ranoah's sleeves and said to the three magic caravans, "Noah, look at the magic caravans over there, it's so generous. The whole car is covered with mitr silver, which is simply a tycoon!"
Noah grinned, rubbed her hands, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, that's it."
Shirley Newman is a girl who speaks and acts very generously and appropriately in the Royal Academy of Magic. It is precisely because of this that she has many friends in the class.
But after getting off the airship, Shirley Newman became a little nervous. He didn't want to hold Noah and walk side by side in any case. Instead, he mingled among the group of girls of Ying Li. The burly female swordsman followed silently.
Katerina has always been by my side, inseparable from me.
Kalancho pulled Deborah and walked at the end of the team with the Tauren Ruka.
However, when the tall tauren walked down the springboard, it still attracted the attention of many people. His strong body as strong as a black tower made many people look surprised.
After all, this place is not an imperial capital, and it is a little natural rejection of foreign races.
Rand led his team of knights to follow slowly behind the team. They were wearing magic patterns and walked down from the ship in a uniform pace. These knights also attracted the attention of everyone.
The captain of the "Emerald" only sent us off the airship and took a group of crew members to leave on their own, without any intention of getting close to Noah.
I always felt that Noah's eyes were a little sneaky. As soon as we were about to walk down the slope to the mountain, we saw the three silver magic caravans slowly coming towards us. The waiters waiting outside the caravan also trotted over and saluted Noah in a daze.
Then, three silver magic caravans were parked next to us one by one, and the car door was opened from inside. Several maids stood and held the car door and looked at Noah with surprise. One of the beautiful maids said to Noah with confusion: "Sir Noah, where are you going? Aren't you taking a carriage?"
"Uh..." Noah's face turned slightly red, and he patted her forehead helplessly, smiled 'hehe', and said awkwardly while holding my shoulder, "Oh, why are you here to pick me up? Didn't you agree not to pick me up?"
Obviously, the maid looked confused and clearly said: ‘When did you say it?’
"Okay okay, we got in the car. It's so late. If we don't go back, we'll probably miss dinner time." Noah pulled me into this silver magic caravan.
Then I suddenly realized and thought: Why did I forget that the Mensa family is the number one rich family in Palestina Province.
When I sat in the carriage, I really felt the luxury of these two magic carriages. There was a thick layer of velvet carpet on the ground. As soon as I walked into the carriage, the maid at the door of the carriage half-squatted down and helped Noah and take off my boots and put them on the shoe rack beside me.
The furniture inside the car was made of expensive terracotta, which exuded a faint awakening fragrance. Noah and I sat down on the soft sofa. The leather sofa was not as warm as I thought, but a cool feeling from the leather, making people feel very comfortable.
Ying Li and Shirley Newman then walked in. Shirley Newman looked at the decorations in the car and couldn't help but smack her tongue. It was obvious that Shirley Newman was more sensible than me, knowing that the decorations inside were all valuable things.
Noah asked Ying Li and Shirley to sit in the seats, while Katerina, Helena, Becky, and Shirley's personal maid were on the seats on the side of the carriage. Despite this, the carriage was still very spacious.
The maid took out exquisite fruits and pastries from the cabinet, as well as some sweet wine and juice on the square table in the center of the carriage.
At this time, the magic caravan began to move slowly, the carriage was extremely stable, and the juice in the cup was just shaking slightly.
I put my head next to the car window and looked back.
But Noah patted my arm and said to me, "Don't worry, the Lant Knight will take good care of your orc followers."
Then, Noah asked the maid again, “Is the Duke in the manor?”
The maid said respectfully: "The Duke went out with the knights of the condom a month ago and has not returned yet."
"Oh!" Noah seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Madam, she is still waiting for you to have a sumptuous dinner together in the manor." Then the maid said again.
Shirley Newman's body trembled slightly, and she seemed to be too nervous.
Ying Li was very calm. Perhaps in her eyes, seeing a duchess was nothing.
She leaned forward, picked up a glass of orange juice, and reached the cup in front of me. I reached out to pick it up with joy, but Ying Li glared fiercely, avoided my hand that was stretched out, and said something that made me desperate: "Put the ice!"
The ice cubes sank into the bottom of the cup, and then the mixed bubbles floated up again and floated on the juice. Ying Li handed the juice to Shirley Newman, who seemed a little nervous, and told her that drinking a little cold drink could relieve her nervous mood.
After all, this is Shirley Newman's first time to come to the Duke of Mansa's Mansa, and he has to face Noah's mother, Duchess Mensa, and he is inevitably nervous.
The carriage slowly drove along the mountain road, leaving the pedestrians on the mountain road along the way behind. The sound of horse hooves was crisp and pleasant, accompanied by the warm sea breeze, I suddenly felt that being a powerful man was actually quite good.
I said to Noah, "I must have such a gorgeous silver magic caravan in the future."
Noah leaned against the sofa and laughed, saying, "What kind of ideal is this? I can give it to you anytime you want."
I looked at Noah seriously and said, "That's yours, I mean I will have one that belongs to me in the future, and I will have it."
"Yeah! I believe you, you can even defeat William, and there is nothing else that is impossible." As he said that, Noah glanced at Ying Li.
As the carriage passed the street market, the sky slowly became dimmed. Ilinas is a mountain city built against the mountain. Each street has a gentle slope. When I walked up the stone street to the middle of the mountain, I saw a red sun sinking into the sea, leaving only a subtle red line. The sky was dyed red by the sunset. On the shimmering sea level, several sea boats were sailing into the dock bit by bit.
Ilinas City is much larger than what I saw on the airship. On the airship, I just think it is a mountain city built around the mountains, which seems to be no different from El City. But when I was really in it, I realized that this city is really big, and every long street seems to have no end.
Although the carriage with the Mensa family badge was already driving fast on the street, and the scenery on the left and right sides of the street was swept by in front of you, it was still a long distance away from the Duke's Mansion on the top of the mountain.
The magic caravan passed a street, and the street was full of fishy and salty smell. The stalls of the vendors were filled with various dried salted fish and scallops. Of course, some fish shops sold fresh fish, but as the evening approached, there were only a few fresh fish left on these stalls. I was a little disappointed that I could not see the colorful fresh sea fish that I was looking forward to.
However, I secretly recorded several restaurants along the way, thinking that if I had time tomorrow, I would definitely take the time to taste the seafood in this coastal city. I think the restaurant owner here would definitely not buy thirty-seven copper plates of shrimp.
Chapter completed!
