Andasu nodded in response to Xiaoniu's words.
"No one says that boyfriends have to protect their girlfriends. I can protect you too." Zoe said seriously, holding the hilt of the sword.
"Whahahaha, when did this relationship become established? Hey! Was it when An and I were chatting?"
Dorothy was extremely shocked. She looked at Andasu, and there seemed to be a flame in the depths of her eyes.
"No, if a kiss between you two counts, then I would have been one long ago!"
The girl with animal ears also nodded.
There was no end to this conversation. Leon walked forward, leaving Dorothy, who was about to ask more questions, stuck for a moment.
As he walked, he changed the subject: "I had thought about asking you not to follow me this time."
This sentence successfully prevented Dorothy and Andasu from pursuing the matter further.
"Leon, why is it like this again?" Zoe said anxiously.
"Where are we going? We don't even have our own boat now," said Dorothy.
Li Ang responded to Zoe's question: "What I think is that since you lack a lot of common sense, you can go to Qianta City for a while."
"Ah," said Dorothy, "I know. You're talking about the extraordinary popularization courses for ordinary people at the academy over there."
Li Ang nodded.
The so-called extraordinary popularization courses are also the business held by various colleges in Qianta City after the rise of the profession of Sky Knight in Newbiss.
These courses are mainly for people with no basic knowledge, explaining career development, magic usage, situations during adventures, rules of the Sky Knight, basic knowledge of adventures... and so on.
What he wanted was to give them something to do while they were being deposited, so that they could make progress while also relaxing and enjoying the urban life of Qianta City.
It feels like I'm boarding a pet, which is weird.
"Not only that, there are some things you can take the opportunity to learn from other classes, such as Andasu's mechanic profession."
Li Ang said that there are very few places that can teach mechanized engineers, and it just so happens that there is a place like Qianta City where knowledge is collected. Although it certainly does not have the professional skills of the Magic Kingdom, fortunately everyone is together and can take care of each other.
"If time is short, it's not impossible for me to help Li Ang if I improve."
Zoe compromised quickly, but she raised her chin to Li Ang and hinted at him with a slight curl of her cherry lips.
"It's certainly acceptable to treat it as a holiday, provided I'm not too late for you to pick me up." Dorothy spoke as if she was afraid that Leon would treat her as a burden and dump her.
"Mechanic..." When talking about what Andasu loved, she hesitated a little.
After listening to this, Alulu nodded in approval, but from an angle where no one could see, her lavender eyes swept around Li Ang and finally landed on his left elbow.
He led the group members forward, walked up the stairs, and arrived right below the Gate of Glory.
You can see the fountain with statues at a glance. Many tourists take photos here, and there are people holding cameras to attract customers nearby.
The width between the two towers is 87 meters. Further in, the flat light gray-white floor tiles extend all the way to form a wide square in all directions.
Starting from the square, three wide avenues that had been planned in advance went in different directions. The middle one led to the guild's power center and the Sky Knight Affairs District, the left one was the residential area and the market, and the right one was the artisan area and the bulk trade site.
However, the city's development has already exceeded the planned scale, and these three avenues are no longer the only roads through the city. There are newer and wider roads in the city.
The area of the Holy City of Vitask is not particularly large, about 20,000 square kilometers. The entire city is built on solid island rocks. Perhaps in the early stages, the subsequent expansion was not considered so smoothly. No one expected that the land of this island would be utilized to its limit in three hundred years.
People with various purposes come here to do business or live for a long time, and more and more buildings are built. Even at the edge of the island, there are suspended buildings built with levitators, which are only partially connected to the main island.
Standing at the fountain, you can see endless high and low roofs leading to the end of the blue sky.
The height of the Gate of Glory and its width in the middle were measured long ago and can be seen in any written record introducing the Holy City.
You can also see the bronze statues in the middle of the Fountain of Remembrance, which are the four founders of the guild.
Zoe ran to the fountain and looked at every part of it excitedly.
Considering the current size of the Holy City, this fountain is old and small, but it holds commemorative significance. Aside from the bronze statue in the center, which is actually constructed of pure magical matter, everything else, from pipes to bricks and stones, has been renovated.
"Little sister, please move aside."
A man was holding a camera and preparing to take a picture of a tourist couple when Zoe broke into the frame.
Li Ang pulled her aside and heard a tour guide introducing the bronze statue to some Newbis civilian-looking tourists.
"Look everyone, these are the four founders of the great Sky Knights Guild. Let me introduce them to you one by one."
The tour guide pointed to the man in the middle with a bright smile. His characteristic was that he wore many swords, and there were even seven swords floating behind him. The craftsman's skills made pure magic matter float behind him in the bronze statue.
"This is the leader among the founders, and the Sword King from the well-known fairy tale 'The Adventure of the Sword King', Espada Saga."
"So he is the Sword King." Zoe also looked over following the tour guide's explanation.
Apart from Dorothy who had come and reacted normally, Andasu and Alulu also looked intently at the statue of the Sword King.
The tour guide continued, "This handsome, long-haired young man holding a giant sword is the dragonblood warrior Sigurd Vaiwen. Legend has it that he was born to maintain the balance of the world."
"The third one is a lovely young wizard. Her origins are mysterious. I heard that she returned to the fairy kingdom after the guild was established. Her name is Fufu Ferrin."
"The last one is a legendary adventurer in his own right. He became a partner with the Sword King after their journey began. He is Lichman Chaaiin."
The last name made Zoe shudder and look at Leon.
There was a questioning look in her eyes, but she herself realized that something was wrong.
"I was wondering why I heard this name when I was looking through your father's notes."
Li Ang said to the girl, "I heard about it when I came to the Holy City, but it's been three hundred years since then, and this historical founder isn't often mentioned. Almost no one discusses him, so I forgot about it."
"But he lived three hundred years ago."
"Yeah, so it could just be a coincidence."
Leon looked at the statue of Lichman Chaaiin, a man with short hair, holding a dagger, dressed simply and neatly, and looking straight ahead with hope in his eyes.
Does Lichman Chaaiin have any descendants?
Wait until the Knights have a decision meeting and ask?
Putting this question aside for the moment, he turned around and found Dorothy and the white wolf calf looking up at the sky together.
We're under the dome, what's there to see? Leon wondered.
"That's where we can go up," said the half-elf.
"Yes. Besides the Fountain of Remembrance where you can take photos, the most famous attraction at the entrance of the Holy City is the magnificent dome formed by the twin white crystal towers."
If you want to take a comprehensive tour of the holy city, there are many historical sites near the gate, and you may not be able to enter the city in a whole day.
"I missed it during the school trip."
Dorothy pointed at the Dome of Splendor like a child and said, "I want to go up there."
"Brother, I want to see it too." Alulu's eyes were full of anticipation.
The same thing happened to Andasu, who had just come out.
Both of them are reliable in battle, but they are still young girls after all.
Dorothy smiled softly at him, "I never thought that when I make up for my regrets, I would have the opportunity to go with my favorite person."
"Take a picture with me first!" Zoe pulled Leon's arm.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, one by one!"
Li Ang estimated that by the time he found a place to live, he should have enough time to complete both of these tasks.
After discussing the price with the people nearby who were taking photos for money, Li Ang finally made the decision based on their cameras.
The principle of Newbis’ camera is different, but the result is the same, which is to take pictures on a base that can be preserved for a longer time.
He picked a guy with a better camera, which made Andasu pay more attention to the camera. Standing next to him and watching the guy take pictures made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't even keep up his business smile.
Not only Zoe wanted to take a photo, but the other three also wanted to take a photo, so in the end they took a photo of each of them with Li Ang, and a group photo of the whole group.
When it was Leon and Zoe's turn, she compared the positions of her parents in the yellowed photo and pulled Leon to stand in the same position.
Li Ang was a little nervous because he was afraid that she would do something out of line, but Zoe was even more uneasy. She kept checking herself up and down, as if she was afraid of leaving a bad photo.
As the photographer counted down, the first day of the Star Flower Brigade's entry into the Holy City of Vitask was permanently imprinted on the photo.
I just hope everything goes well in the Holy City. Leon made a wish in his heart.
172. Holy City Vitask
"Leon, look!"
Zoe took Leon's hand and pointed at the entire Holy City.
On the magnificent dome, all the visitors were tourists and sky knights who had just arrived in the holy city.
An old hand like Li Ang has been here many times, and when he was at a lower level, he also took on the task of being a tour guide. He was so busy running around that it was a bit hard to look back.
Now, bringing my own new members, and seeing the novelty, anticipation and happiness on their faces, I have a different feeling.
"I'm here."
The girl pointed at the Sky Knights Guild's council tower. Aside from the Glorious Gate, it was the most prominent structure in the city. The council hall was completely open, allowing attendees to see the entire city and the sky beyond at any time.
As if to highlight the nobility of the Knights' Council, the strongest craftsmen and magicians of the time were invited to build this tower, and it was deliberately built to reach the sky.
If the ground of the airport is taken as a horizontal line, the height of the magnificent dome can be measured at 3 meters. Then the net height of the Parliament Tower, starting from the stone brick where it touches the ground, is more than 54 meters, not to mention that it is built on the highest hill on the island.
In addition to its own height and magnificence, the arcane light emanating from the top of the tower is even more spectacular.
Mysterious blue-purple energy symbols formed a semicircular mask in the air, completely covering the sky of the holy city.
The Council Chamber also housed control devices that affected all of Vitask's institutions, including the shield's controller. Leon understood that the controls for the canal locks, the island's high walls, and other facilities were also located there. However, in the ten years since he'd traveled through time, the Holy City hadn't encountered a crisis requiring the use of all of these.
At the highest point of the shield, which was also the edge where the dark clouds of the Demonic Disaster Realm were propped up by the natural light of the material dimension, the wild and violent magic power in the clouds rubbed out lightning, which was completely blocked by the shield.
Because of the harassment of magic thunder, the shield that should be transparent at ordinary times has been transmitting energy all the time, allowing people in the city to always see the arcane light on the huge mask covering the entire island, which has become the third amazing sight of the holy city.
The girls looked at it for a long time before they came to their senses.
Leon smiled at them and understood their reaction very well. Anyone who came to the Holy City for the first time would still be shocked even if they were told about the scenery here in advance.
Ancient civilizations might have built projects of this magnitude, but the only existing miraculous one is the Holy City of Vitask, a holy white city built by the Sky Knights Guild with their coordination and organizational capabilities.
"What are those three towers?" asked Andasu.
After looking at the Parliament Tower and the Arcane Shroud, the beast-eared girl focused her attention on the three shorter, more spacious tower-like buildings surrounding and guarding the tower.
They are nowhere near as tall as the Parliament Tower, so they act more like a solid base for it.
Li Ang pointed to the westernmost one and said, "Watching the Western Shadows, it is the headquarters of the Order Air Cavalry Regiment, the highest-level Order Hall. In addition to receiving reports from senior officers of the four major airspace divisions and organizing and distributing work, it is also the headquarters of the strongest Order Regiment."
"The strongest?" Both White Wolf and Zoe were curious about this.
"This is the last branch group besides the Order Flame Group, Frost Heart Group, Flower Sword Group, and Sandstorm Group. In addition to maintaining order in the Holy City and other pioneer islands, they are also responsible for far more matters than other groups due to the dangers lurking in the Demonic Disaster Realm.
"Before the major independent teams launched their offensive, they explored, identified, and assessed the crisis conditions and classifications of each Jedi secret realm, and formulated preliminary plans.
"They're called the 'Order Investigation Team'."
The girls were all memorizing this term, and Leon continued:
"Aside from the leaders and captains of the other four Order Groups, who are all at the Excellence Realm, they're basically training newcomers. However, the Order Investigation Group has many experts. Those four groups combined are roughly equivalent to a top-ten group, but the Investigation Group itself is at the level of a top-ten group, but they're not included in the guild rankings."
"Have you ever had any dealings with them?" asked Dorothy.
"Of course, they'll be the ones to coordinate any plans for conquering certain remote areas or secret realms. The guild generally doesn't support exploring uncharted territories that the survey team hasn't explored yet."
"Wouldn't someone go there secretly?" said Zoe.
"The group is also developing for profit. If it is not necessary, exploring on its own may result in huge losses. No one wants to do this kind of business."
After talking about the Order Air Cavalry Regiment, Leon pointed to the second of the three towers.
"The Sky Knights' Hall houses personnel responsible for representing the guild and connecting with the Sky Knights. It can be considered the highest-level guild office. All Sky Knight matters can be handled here."
“There are many conference rooms inside, and the celestial groups stationed in the Holy City also rent them for meetings.”
The last time Leon left the Holy City and the Soul Peak, he walked out of the tower of the Knight's Hall.
"Can we rent it too?" Zoe asked.
"Yes, but it's not necessary."
Li Ang looked at the four of them and said, "There are too few of us. One hotel room is enough."
"And then it will be easier for you to do bad things," added Dorothy.
After Li Ang glared at her, she immediately glanced away and pretended nothing had happened.
