Chapter 97 The City of Redemption (1)
Danica stood in the wilderness in the western suburbs of Melens for a while. Although she felt a little lonely, she quickly adjusted her mentality. She would not be sad about spring and autumn for such a thing, and she would cry with sorrow!
Danica found a carriage rental site that provides long-distance passenger transport. After all, Melens is a commercial city. Although there are some flashy luxury carriages in the city, there are still many carriage services prepared for travelers in the suburbs.
Danica's current plan is to go to the three major magic academies located in the northwest of the mainland. It is a real magic place and is very attractive to any magician. It is impossible to truly enter the magic academy to study, but Danica still wants to see if she can get the qualification of an auditor.
To go from the southern coastal areas to the three major magic academies, you need to cross the areas controlled by the Holy See in the western part of the mainland. Fortunately, the Holy See did not suppress the magicians too much - although the relationship between the two sides may not be very good, they can still live in peace. In this way, you can also feel the majesty and style of this power, which is known as the largest in the mainland.
The journey of a long-distance carriage is very monotonous. Every day, sitting in a carriage without any shock absorption measures, Danica is confused and just wants to sleep, but after getting off the car, she feels soreness in her back and is particularly tired. In this world where technology is not developed, traveling through a long-distance carriage is not a comfortable thing.
Two months after leaving Melens, the exhaustion and boredom of the journey had already made Danica unable to bear it, and she felt that she needed a rest.
Danica was a little lazy and half lying on the carriage. She wrapped the whole carriage, and there was no outsider present, so she didn't have to care about her image.
Danica asked the coachman through the curtains in the carriage: "When will we get to Saint City?"
Saint City is the place chosen by Danica to do a short rest. It is an ancient city, not very big, but has a long history and profound cultural heritage. This is a city exclusive to the Saint of the Holy See of the Holy See of the Holy See of the City. The landmark building in the city center is Saint Cathedral, which is also the only cathedral exclusive to the Saint of the Holy See of the Holy See of the Holy See.
According to Danica's knowledge, the saint of the Holy See is not a position with real power. The saint is just a symbolic representative. When the Holy See is launched some charitable relief activities, the saints often come forward. Although the saints in the entire saints have very little say, at least she owns a city, and this saint city is completely owned by the saints. Whether it is the city guard armed forces or wealth taxes, they are completely controlled by the saints.
The coachman said, "It's soon, and it will be in another half an hour. Do you know, this lady, there is a louder name in Saint Maiden City - the City of Redemption. No matter what sin you commit, you can get redemption as long as you come to this city." The coachman's tone was a little excited, and he seemed to be a staunch believer in the light.
"Oh? Is it so powerful?" Danica said with a smile, not caring. The name of the City of Redemption is good, but she always feels like she is cheating.
It seemed that he could hear the slightness in Danica's tone, and the coachman said solemnly: "Of course this is true. Those who like to do evil and do evil will be in the light after coming to the City of Redemption and try to repent. Moreover, the people who come out there are also people with high moral integrity."
Danica said, "Really?" To be honest, she was a little unbelievable. People in any area have good or bad things. It is a very one-sided statement that people in a place are bad. It is not very comprehensive to say that a region is completely good people, after all, most of them are just ordinary people.
The coachman said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone casually. The reputation of Saint City is very famous in this area. Under the auspices of Saint Miss Chenhui, the City of Redemption has educated many people with sinful hearts."
Through this coachman who admires Saint City, Danica learned a lot of information about this city. This is indeed a very special city. According to the coachman, no matter who comes to Saint City, he will consciously abide by the norms, be honest and trustworthy, and become a moral person, including those bandits and bullies, who harm the people in the countryside. Over time, this place has become a place of redemption that all believers of light yearn for. If you feel that you have sin in your heart, as long as you come to Saint City and come to Saint Cathedral to pray, you will be able to obtain inner peace and forgiveness, and you will be able to obtain the salvation of the Holy Light.
...
The carriage stopped when it arrived at the city gate. Like the rules in other parts of the mainland, this kind of passenger carriage generally does not carry guests into the city, and it would require a large amount of taxes and fees.
Standing at the gate of Saint Maiden City, the thick and mottled walls give people a gloomy sense of history, which is completely different from cities in the southern coastal areas.
As a religious city, it really seems solemn and solemn. Danica muttered in her heart and walked towards the city gate.
There are guards on duty at the gate of Saint City, but there is no place to charge people entering the city for entry. Instead, it is a donation box. You can choose to donate some coins based on your financial resources and kindness, at least one copper plate, and there is no upper limit.
Interestingly, the upper half of this donation box is transparent, which means that the people next to you can see how much money you donated. Danica stood at the city gate for a while and found that the donation amount and identity of most people are consistent. Some poor farmers can donate a few copper coins, and some traveling merchants will donate a few silver coins, but no one donated gold coins.
Since he came, he would follow the customs. Danica took out five silver coins and threw them into the donation box.
After entering the city, I wandered around the roadside casually. A little boy ran towards Danica, bent down and asked respectfully, "Dear Miss, do you need any help?"
Almost all cities have such people, usually young boys, who specialize in serving outsiders who are not familiar with the city. They are already familiar with this set of Danica. She took out a silver coin and threw it to the little boy, saying, "Help me find a quiet place to stay here. I will stay here for more than a month."
After taking the silver coin, the little boy's face was filled with an unconcealed smile. A generous and straightforward guest seemed to have good luck today.
The little boy carefully put away the silver coins and asked, "Miss, do you want to stay in a hotel or rent a separate yard." Generally speaking, a quiet residence refers to a separate small yard, but this noble lady is obviously alone. If she wants to rent a yard, no one will come to serve her. In comparison, there are many hotels with quiet rooms and they don't have to clean it by themselves, which is also a good choice.
