Chapter 112, into the capital
Su Chen was not interested in the name. He just politely opened the curtains and expressed his willingness to talk to Shangguan Quan.
"Asian phoenix gecko! Isn't this thing extinct?"
Xuan Qi exclaimed. This also aroused Su Chen's curiosity. Xuan Qi is usually unreliable, but he is very interested in these weird things. I really don't know where he learned about it.
"You still know this?"
Shangguanquan also exclaimed in surprise.
Xuan Qi said proudly: "Yes, I have traveled around various countries and have seen a lot. A Asian gecko is nothing."
"Then do you know what's so special about this species?"
Shangguanquan saw his funny expression and expressed doubt, so he asked.
But Xuan Qi turned to look at Su Chen and said solemnly: "The Yafeng Gecko's meridians can regenerate severed limbs."
Regenerate severed limbs!
These words touched Su Chen deeply. He unconsciously touched the prosthetic leg in his right cuff, and memories from the past came to his mind.
Could it be that this is how the young prince's arm was restored? His father obtained the meridians of the Yafeng Gecko and gave it to the young prince, but only gave himself a pair of prosthetic limbs.
After Su Chen secretly sneered, he looked at Shangguan Quan and asked, "What do you mean, Master Priest? Do you know where there are Asian geckos?"
"To tell you the truth, the Yafeng Gecko's habitat is within the capital city, but Xuan Qi is right. Due to its miraculous effects, this species has been slaughtered to death and is almost in a state of extinction. You are here this time.
Capital City, whether you can meet it or not depends on your luck."
"Thank you, Lord Priest, for telling me. Su Chen is very grateful."
Su Chen handed over his hand and thanked him. Although he didn't know what Shangguan Quan had in mind, this news was crucial to him.
Shangguan Quan ignored his thanks, but smiled meaningfully, then reined in his horse and moved forward, walking in front of the two carriages, as if he wanted to lead the way.
,,
The capital city is located in the middle of Zhongzhou, but Zhongzhou is surrounded by four states, east, west, north and south. It has the smallest land area. It only took Su Chen and others two days to arrive in front of the city gate.
"This is the famous capital of the Frost Kingdom, Immortal King City? Is the gate so ordinary?"
The moment Xuan Qi saw the city gate, he sighed with disappointment.
Su Chen also curiously poked his head to take a look, only to find that the city tower in front of him was as majestic and majestic as he had expected. Immortal King City, with three large characters of extraordinary momentum, hung above the door opening. The inner wall of the door opening was made of huge rocks.
It is carefully polished, smooth and delicate, and the entrance is much wider than other cities. Looking at the tower on the city wall, it is solemn and solemn, like a lion entrenched on it, shocking every passerby. This is in contrast to the west.
Zhouyecheng is similar.
In the square outside the city gate, there are several towering watchtowers. On the towers, the silver-armored sergeants are looking down, carefully observing every movement.
On the square, carriages and pedestrians separated, and there was a queue that was not too long, and everyone was inspected one by one. The atmosphere was much more serious than in the wine city. No one was running around in it, and there was no forgetful chatting or laughter.
If this was the first time they saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. As for Xuan Qi's reaction, Su Chen guessed that Xuan Qi had seen the towering city wall in Lin City, and even bumped into it affectionately. There was a long queue in front of the city gate.
The constant flow of cars, horses and pedestrians was something Xuan Qi had experienced in the wine city.
Therefore, the scene in front of him did not bring much novelty to him, but the serious atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable.
Although the scenery was similar to what Su Chen expected, he was a little disappointed. After all, the place he had longed for for so long turned out to be just a combination of Ye City, Liquor City, and Forest City, which did not surprise him at all.
"Did we go to the wrong place? The Frost Country capital I heard about is not like this?"
After careful observation, Xuan Qi questioned.
At this time, Xinyun also came out of the carriage, but did not talk to Xuan Qi. Instead, she led everyone forward, passed the long queue, and directly arrived at the city gate. There were three inspection stations set up at the city gate.
Carriages are inspected, pedestrians and those who drive alone are inspected along the way, and the last point is a fast track specially set up for officials.
After Xinyun showed the high priest's token, the soldiers in silver armor who guarded the city respectfully welcomed them in.
According to the classification of levels and armors by the city defenders, only those who have reached the captain level can wear silver armor, and the requirement to become a captain is to reach the level of a third-rate warrior. Su Chen sighed, he hadn't even entered the city yet, and what he saw along the way was...
They are all soldiers in silver armor, which shows how powerful the soldiers in Immortal King City are.
Moreover, according to the ranking of the Xianwu Alliance, the second most powerful man in the world, the Grand Marshal, Ji Yunhai, is in this city. Su Chen really wanted to meet this world-famous Grand Marshal, but no matter what, he was a small
If he really met the prince's uncle, he was worried that it would cause trouble.
After entering the city, several people got off the carriage and walked on the streets of Immortal King City.
"This is definitely not the City of the Immortal King. The scenery on this street is too ordinary. It's not as grand as the city gate just now!"
As soon as he stepped onto the street, Xuan Qi complained again.
Su Chen was also disappointed. Although the streets here are very spacious and the shops and restaurants on the streets are prosperous, they are at best the level of the Cross Street of Yecheng. As for the liveliness, they are far less than that of the Liquor City.
"Why are you so sure? You've never been here."
Although Su Chen was a little disappointed, he never doubted that he had gone to the wrong place. Xinyun could not take them all the way to play, and besides, there was Shangguanquan.
"Although I have never been here personally, I have heard others describe it, and it is definitely not like this!"
Xuan Qi explained excitedly.
"Then how exactly do they describe it?"
After hearing this, Su Chen became interested again,
"If you don't believe there are immortals in this world, then go to the Immortal King City."
Xuan Qi said in an impassioned onomatopoeia. Su Chen read it carefully and was immediately filled with expectations. He thought he hadn't reached the critical point yet, so he was so indifferent.
"This is just Zuocheng District, no different from the main street in Yecheng."
Xinyun finally couldn't help but explain.
Su Chen looked around and found that except for him and Xuan Qi, no one had ever been to the Immortal King City. It seemed that everyone else had been, even Xiao He had left the Immortal King City. When he recalled the conversation just now, it felt like a bumpkin entering the city.
So embarrassing.
So, he thought he had to say something to save his image.
"I remember that the layout of the Frost Kingdom city was mostly cross streets. One horizontal line and one vertical line divided the city into four districts: east, west, north and south. Why is this called Zuocheng District? Maybe the layout of Immortal King City is different."
However, Xinyun just glanced at him briefly and had no intention of explaining. However, Su Chen didn't think it was strange. It would be strange if Xinyun introduced them to them in detail like a guide, so he deliberately looked at him when asking.
Xiang Xiaohe.
Xiao He explained patiently: "According to Frost Kingdom's requirements for city layout, each city should have a cross layout, with the city lord's palace on the east, the general's palace on the opposite side, martial arts arenas and five offices in the north and south, so that it can be balanced.
The layout of Immortal King City is the same, but it has one biggest difference from other cities."
"What's different? Is it because there is a palace?"
Su Chen asked curiously. He could understand what Xiao He meant. The most important buildings in a city are the city lord's palace and the general's palace, which also correspond to the official positions of the city lord and general. But in this capital, the most important buildings are the city lord's palace and the general's palace.
The building is naturally the Palace of the Frost King. It is said that there should be no place that can correspond to the palace, so Su Chen guessed that the location of the palace should be in the center.
So he looked towards the end of the street, but did not see the majestic figure of the palace, and he suddenly became suspicious again.
Xiao He shook his head and continued: "In ordinary cities, although the city lord and the general are equal in rank, the city lord's palace is always located in the noble east, which also implies that the city lord's status is higher."
The sun rises in the east, and the east is understood to be noble, which is also consistent with common sense.
Su Chen agreed, and then checked the direction, and suddenly felt something was wrong. The street they were on was facing the southeast.
"This street is not facing a certain direction, why is that?"
As soon as Su Chen made some assumptions, he became confused again. He originally thought that the palace was not in the center, but on the east side. But right now, the street was going in the wrong direction, so no buildings could be seen at the end of the street.
