How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 162 The Big Pendulum Clock

"It's still early, where are we going to play?" Breonna walked with Yun Mu on the streets of Winter City, seeming to be mumbling to herself or asking Yun Mu.

"Is there any fun place?" Yun Mu asked.

She didn't know much about the entertainment methods of people in this era. In the memory of her predecessor, she had to do her best just to survive every day. There was really no room for entertainment.

"What do you like?" Breonna looked at her and asked.

Without waiting for Yun Mu to reply, she explained eloquently:
  "If you like sightseeing, I can take you to some famous attractions in Winter City."

"For example, the Big Pendulum Clock, Winter Tower Bridge, Seria Castle, Warm Snow Park, and the Torsky Museum."

"In other words, you want to appreciate some works of art, or some kind of novel experience."

"Then we can go to opera houses, concert halls, and emerging cinemas to watch plays, concerts, and the latest movies."

"And if you don't want to go anywhere and just want to find a quiet place to rest for a while, we can go to a coffee shop or tea room to enjoy the rare peace while looking at the snow scene, and drink a cup of steaming coffee or... Hot tea.”

"Of course, if none of the above can satisfy you, we can go watch horse racing and dog fighting, and enjoy the passion and fiery games."

"You have to pay back the money you lost." She added silently.

"How do you understand so well?" Yun Mu looked at her in surprise.

Why have you never been to those places because of your status?
  "Except for the last sentence, these are the contents of the newspaper, but I changed it a little bit." Breonna explained to her.

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I can't play for too long."

She put on a thoughtful expression and said, "How about we go to the Big Pendulum Clock first, then cross the Winter Tower Bridge, enter Nuanxue Park, walk around in a circle, and then go watch a movie?"

"I have no objection." Yun Mu nodded and said.

Before time travel, she actually didn't like going out much.

But after time travel, maybe it was because there was no Internet, or maybe it was influenced by the previous one.

In short, she is now very interested in Breonna's arrangements.

"The name Big Pendulum Clock and Winter Tower Bridge...hahaha." She laughed secretly in her heart.

If she hadn't known that she was in a different world, she would have thought that Breonna was talking about Big Ben and Tower Bridge.

Maybe they're all the same?

Yun Mu thought secretly in his heart.

The two walked through the bustling area where Winter Cathedral was located, and the height of the surrounding buildings decreased.

"Is that building the big pendulum clock?" Yun Mu asked, looking up at the tall tower building standing on the bank of the Forsado River in the distance.

"Yes."

Breonna looked in the direction she was looking and saw a huge clock dial embedded in the wall of the tower.

"The Grand Pendulum Clock is the bell tower attached to the Serlia Palace, with an overall height of 135 meters. The diameter of the clock dial on it is 9.45 meters, and each side is inlaid with 92 opals."

"When Congress is in session, the pendulum clock will chime automatically every hour."

"Cellia Palace" Yun Mu noticed the key information and glanced at Breonna with some worry.

"It's okay, we're just passing by there and we'll leave soon." Noticing Yun Mu's gaze, Brenna guessed what she was thinking, so she comforted her.

The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the big pendulum clock in the distance. The streets of the royal capital are mainly paved with hard limestone slabs, making walking very solid and smooth.

In addition to pedestrians and steam taxis on the roadside, Yun Mu actually saw many carriages here.

She could hardly see carriages in Frostfall City, but she didn’t expect there to be so many in Winter City!

"The more prosperous the area, the slower the death of old things. The beneficiaries of traditional horse-drawn carriages are obviously not willing to let horse-drawn carriages withdraw from the stage of history."

After Yun Mu expressed her doubts, Breonna explained to her.

"For now, it is difficult for steam cars to completely replace horse-drawn carriages. In terms of speed, they are almost the same in the city. In terms of comfort, horse-drawn cars have a wider space. You can even drink tea and enjoy desserts inside."

“In addition, there are also various issues such as safety.”

After a pause, Breonna added: "In fact, the competition between steam cars and traditional carriages can also be seen as a struggle between emerging aristocrats and traditional aristocrats."

"If it weren't for the efforts of the emerging nobles, steam cars would not have the status that threatens the survival of traditional horse-drawn carriages."

The so-called emerging nobles, to put it simply, are actually businessmen.

After the Frost Kingdom promulgated the Merchant and Civilian Act, which allowed people to obtain titles by paying money, many wealthy businessmen immediately spent a large amount of gold frost to purchase this status for themselves.

The purpose of the Frost Kingdom is nothing more than to weaken the influence of the traditional nobles.

After all, for the king, Serlia VIII, those nobles who often pointed fingers at him were really annoying.

"Recently, it seems that a bill targeting the passage of steam cars will be enacted. It seems to be to check and balance the power of some emerging nobles. It is really troublesome. That's why I don't want to inherit the throne."

Brenna said with a look of disgust.

"Here we are, the building in front is the Cerlia Palace. Next to it is the Big Pendulum Clock and the Vorsado River."

From a distance, Breonna pointed to the large building complex in the distance and explained.

Yun Mu looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the Serlia Palace was composed of a gray stone structure with multiple spiers and arched doorways, making it appear solemn and solemn.

It is crowned by a large number of small towers, while the walls are decorated with pointed-arched windows, graceful reliefs and cornices, and stonework on the lace windows.

Next to the Serlia Palace is the blue river with a beautiful glow, and the huge bell tower standing beside the river.

"Is that the Cerlia Palace?" Yun Mu said with an astonished expression on his face.

Forgive her for not having much knowledge in her two lifetimes. The photos she saw online were completely different from the feelings she had when she actually saw those marvelous buildings in reality.

When she thought that this was a miracle built entirely by human hands, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart.

[You were shocked in your heart when watching Serlia Palace, your destiny [Civilization] points +8]
  In my mind, this message suddenly popped up on the game panel.

"Let's not get too close. I'm afraid that someone I know will see me." Breonna was hiding behind Yun Mu and whispered.

　ps: The Serlia Castle is the Kingdom of Frost, the territorial castle where the Serlia family first lived.

　　Later, as the times progressed, the castle gradually became a target for cannons, and was abandoned by the Serlia family.

　　Later, it was renovated and repaired and became a cultural heritage site in Winter City.

　　The Cerlia Palace is the new residence of the royal family and nobles of Winter City, and the place where all ministers work and hold meetings.

　　Breonna has lived here since she was a child, and due to her busy schedule, she rarely had the opportunity to go out and play.
