Chapter 985 Welcome to the City of the Lake, God of the Eagle
Chapter 985 Welcome to the City of the Lake, God of the Eagle
The airship moved forward slowly.Skimming the forest, skimming the plateau, skimming the lake.When flying over the plateau lake and heard "the capital is just ahead", almost all the free magicians rushed out and stuck to the porthole to watch:
"Wow……"
There were soft exclamations and admiration one after another.The older mages are still relatively calm, such as the well-informed Archmage Bairbo, who only opened his eyes slightly;
Young wizards like Gretel...
"Grete, don't wipe the porthole with your nose! No! Don't flatten your face against the porthole!"
Gretel turned a deaf ear.With one heart and one mind, he leaned on the porthole overlooking the lake, and admired in a low voice:
"It's so beautiful... The natives here can actually build such a building, such a city..."
The picture scroll unfolded under the feet can no longer be described only by "architecture" or "city".On the plateau, tall and steep mountains form a large circle, embracing the clear lake in the center, the shadow of the peak is reflected in the lake, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow in the far distance;
From the surrounding high mountains, countless clear streams merge into rivers, and the rivers flow into lakes. Along the edge of the rivers, clusters of villages are scattered;
And in the center of the lake stands the capital of the Eagle Kingdom—or the royal city.The royal city didn't have walls, or in other words, it didn't need walls. The rippling lake water around it naturally formed its barrier.
In the center of the barrier stands an island that is partly made by nature and partly by manpower.A wide and flat road runs across the center of the island, and at the end of the road stands a large-scale temple. Even if you look at it from the airship, you are amazed at the scale of the temple;
Three flat causeways connect the island to the mainland.Between the islands and the mainland, and in the dotted canals, thousands of canoes gather and spread out like clouds and mist, and travel lightly like butterflies;
The long elevated aqueduct transports the clear mountain water directly from the distant mountains to the center of the city.Gretel lay on the porthole and opened his eyes wide:
"There is actually an elevated aqueduct here..."
I thought it was only in ancient Rome, no, only in the Old World!
"Yes." Archmage Vickers of the Alchemy Guild stood beside him, looking down together, sighing in his tone:
"I thought that only the Radiant Holy City and a few places in the Brolin Kingdom had elevated aqueducts. I didn't expect that the natives here could actually build such a huge building..."
"However, this shows that the local spellcasters do not have the power to create water." Archmage Mansfield from the conjuration department came to chat together:
"Otherwise, guarding such a large lake, there shouldn't be enough water shortage to build aqueducts."
"Maybe it's because of... the climate of this place?" Gretel continued to wipe the porthole with the grease from the tip of his nose, looked at it for a while, and pointed to the lake with his head down:
The swaying reeds stretched inward from the lake shore, lower and rarer;
Further in, the land is exposed in large areas, with a little green entwined on it, weakly bordering the earth;
There is a circle of houses poking around the island, all built on wobbly high poles, which seem to be five or six meters, seven or eight meters, or ten meters away from the ground?
"This is a plateau area, with strong evaporation, and the depth of the lake will vary greatly throughout the year. If there is a difference between the rainy season and the dry season, the change will be even greater... When the water level is the highest in the rainy season, these houses may be under the water. side?"
It's like the Tonle Sap Lake that my colleague talked about when he came back from a trip.2700 square kilometers in the dry season and 10000 square kilometers in the rainy season. The residents there live on board all year round...
It's not that they want to live, but living on a boat is the best solution for them, with the lowest cost of living.
"That makes sense." Archmage Mansfield nodded.He looked at the high mountains in the distance, and then at the elevated aqueduct leading to the city center, leading to temples and palaces, and nodded happily:
"Poor people bend down to draw water from the mud; noble people want to drink the cool snow water from the mountains. No wonder, no wonder such buildings are built..."
After looking around for a while, he suddenly walked quickly to the front cabin.Soon, the archmage's continuous commands came from the operation area in front:
"Measure! Measure quickly! The shore of this lake, what is the range of the rainy season, and what is the range of the dry season-look at the humidity of the plants and soil, do I need to tell you!"
"Measure the height of the surrounding mountains! Measure the depth of the lake! Measure the surrounding energy nodes! The energy reactions of the temples and palaces!"
"Hurry up! We'll be at the palace soon!"
The operator of the airship was yelled at by him.They adjusted the magic circles one by one, recorded a series of data, and were so busy that they wished that everyone would grow eight arms.Gretel smiled knowingly, lowered his head and stared down:
This kind of civilization, even if it is backward, even if it is barbaric, even if it still retains the custom of human sacrifice - but it is brilliant enough and unique enough.
It can die out in the natural evolution, and it can be destroyed by the attack among the indigenous people, just like in nature, the wild wolf hunted the doe, and the snow leopard hunted blue sheep.
However, it should never be brutally plundered, burned, wiped out, and destroyed without a trace because of the momentary greed of more advanced civilizations.
Its people were enslaved, its temples were torn down, and all its records were burned or trampled into the mud.Even the lakes have been drained and filled to make fields, completely destroying the ecology...
While thinking this way, a huge golden light suddenly appeared in the temple in the distance.Gretel squinted his eyes reflexively, and heard the high-pitched and shrill chirping of the eagle, which went straight up to nine days, and he couldn't help covering his ears.
And that piece of golden light rises, rises, gradually solidifies, and turns into a huge golden eagle, suspended above the temple.Spreading its wings, the shadow that fell down covered the entire capital.Under the wings, thousands of people bowed to the ground, cheering like thunder:
"God of Eagles!"
"God of Eagles!"
"The Great Eagle God!"
It flapped its wings gently, and the golden light shone on the lake, stretching for hundreds of miles.Under the golden eagle, another mass of black air surged up, hovering over the Great Pyramid, revealing its figure.
Black and white seals, rings and rings, although the body is only twice as tall as the Great Pyramid, the tail is not known how long.Half false and half solid, submerged into the ground, between the snake letters, there are faint black clouds rising one by one.
"The God of Eagles, the God of Snakes." Archmage Bairbo stood side by side with Archmage Haines from Black Crow Swamp, and they looked at each other with solemn expressions.
It’s fine if the talk goes well, but if the talk falls apart, these two totem gods will undoubtedly be the ones to take the lead——
"The Eagle God is probably between level 18 and level 19." Silently, Archmage Bairbo has opened a telepathic link to communicate with Hines:
"If you use some secret method to forcibly increase the height, you can output about level 19 power. However, it should not cause a qualitative change and leap to the legendary level."
"Snake God is a little lower, weak at level 18, and can reach at most weak at level 19." Hines replied quietly with a straight face:
"The key is that this is their territory. We are far away and have no backup. We must be cautious."
"Then what do you mean?"
"Find out their strength first. And, we must let the Eagle God and Snake God, or at least the Eagle God, join us in attacking with all our strength."
"Exactly what I want!"
After the two archmages finished talking, one went to talk to his subordinates and arrange tasks, and the other rushed into the front cabin, driving the operators into a panic.Record the strength of the target force, record the nature of the force, record the changing waveform...
In short, make full use of all the equipment on the airship, and be sure to collect enough information to be able to predict the enemy's aircraft first!
Halfway through the scanning and detection work, the black shadow of the snake god on the Great Pyramid gradually shrank and disappeared into the Pyramid.The golden eagle spread its wings and circled three times around the island. With a long cry, it slowly turned into golden light and fell into the pyramid on the other side.
After a while, a spot of light flew up from the pyramid, but it was the Golden Eagle Warriors leading a group of White Eagle Warriors, flying to greet them.The leader wears an eagle helmet, wears long brilliant feathers, holds an obsidian spear, and salutes forward.
Before he could speak, he was staggered by the airflow outside the airship.He flapped his wings and had to retreat three meters, and then another three meters. He finally stabilized his figure and conveyed loudly:
"Honorable guests, the great eagle god, the great snake god, and the venerable Tratoani and Chivakoto are waiting for you."
He turned and flew towards the island.The airship followed unhurriedly until it reached the edge of the island before slowly descending, stopping at a height of more than ten meters above the water.
The hatch opened, and Archmage Bairbo and Archmage Hayes stepped out of the air, shaking out a flying carpet outside the hatch.The rest of the archmages stood quietly and watched them off, only Gretel was beckoned by the elder brother and called to his side:
"Hey, Thor's youngest son! Don't be in a daze! Come along!"
"Yes, you are the Lord of the Plague!" Archmage Haines also waved at him—unsurprisingly, he got a blank stare, and a layer of flames rose faintly from Senior Brother Bilbo's body...
Gretel shrunk his neck, didn't look sideways, and stood obediently behind his brother, without even looking at the necromancer.The feet sank slightly, but Cerilla also jumped up:
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
The two archmages, the great knights they each brought to protect them, Gretel and Cerilla took the flying carpet together and meandered forward.When they landed on the altar in front of the temple, there was already a large group of people standing there waiting.
Wearing a golden crown in the shape of an eagle and holding a golden scepter studded with precious stones, the first person stepped out from among the crowd and opened his arms to them:
"Respected guests, on behalf of the great eagle god and the great snake god, I welcome you! White ghosts are trampling our land, traitors are killing our people, the kingdom of eagles urgently needs you s help!"
