The Shepherd's Tantra Glass Stairs Chapter 324 Bayard's Childhood Bayard pulled Aiwass and walked on the streets of the Herasl Empire at night.
Aiwass looked at these imperial-era buildings with admiration.
From Aiwass's perspective, these buildings in the Empire period are all close to the Gothic style. What they have in common is that they are tall enough, have sharp verticals, and have a large number of pointed ribbed vaults.
These buildings are of different heights and widths. They do not have any formal specifications. They are not like the Glass Island where the entire city is the same color. The building heights and sizes are almost the same. The architecture here gives people a strong sense of freedom and art.
Almost all buildings have a large number of reliefs and hollows on the exterior walls, as well as a large amount of stained glass. You must know that Avalon, which is rich in glass, will not even be able to cover all rural areas in two hundred years. Ordinary glass windows. Now in the Herasl Empire, you can see that all the buildings on the streets are decorated with a large number of stained glass, and almost all of these glasses are different and gorgeous paintings.
And in those large blank areas, you can see a lot of artistic graffiti. The entire street was paved with stone slabs, and a passing carriage had a gorgeous, jade-like shell.
Aiwass glanced at it and felt that it seemed to be a whale bone. But it’s hard to say, it could be some other kind of bone.
The clothes of the people on the street are gorgeous and complicated, and there is almost no rustic feeling like the countryside of Avalon.
This vibrant city is filled with a sense of opulence and art.
The end of the Herasl Empire was a truly peak period in human history. Although its internal conflicts are extremely sharp and full of factions. But the final cause of the empire's disintegration did not come from the people at the bottom, but from the power struggle at the top.
The prosperity of the Herasl Empire was the same as its destruction.
It is the first and possibly the last large-scale empire in human history with nine parallel paths and equality and non-discrimination in all professions. Even professions such as Necromancer, Demonologist, Blood Mage, Trickster, and Assassin can still become important figures in the upper echelons of the empire. All extraordinary abilities can be fully taught and applied, which gives the empire productivity ahead of its time.
There is actually a public lighting facility similar to a street lamp on the street, but it is not powered by electricity, but seems to be burned by some kind of oil. But such street lights filled the entire street, the light was bright and stable, and almost no place was dim.
The secret order worshiping Sister Sasha can open openly on the street, and not far away there is the ziggurat of the School of the Dead that stretches across the sky, haunted by ghosts visible to the naked eye. The Necromancer apprentices wearing dead leaf robes had just finished their evening classes and were wandering hungry on the streets looking for food.
The assassin, wearing leather armor and a hood covering his face, entered the street tavern arm-in-arm with the knight in armor. Bottles and jars of alchemy hung around the waistThe magician and the mage with blue light shining in his eyes and a solemn expression were discussing something on the street corner.
A demon scholar wearing a purple robe, surrounded by demons of different styles. They released their demons in this way. Aiwass, who was following them, even saw a punishment demon passing by. It looked back at Aiwass and the shadow demon at her feet, and looked at Aiwass. Give him a warning look.
The vampire with scarlet eyes was holding the wall with one hand, chatting with the girl he met; there was also a witch riding a broomstick and galloping through the sky. There is also a painter holding up his drawing board on the street corner, looking at the night scene on the block and the people on the street.
Only the moon in the sky remains unchanged. It shines quietly on the earth as it did hundreds of years later.
And Bayard held Aiwass’s hand and passed slowly through the noisy crowd.
She dragged Aiwass to a tavern, skillfully ordered two glasses of ale and three bowls of broth, and sat in a booth.
From here you can maintain appropriate privacy while still being able to see what people are doing outside.
The pub is neither loud nor vulgar.
On the performance stage in the middle, you can see people dancing. It is not a professional dance group, but citizens dancing led by a professional dancer. There is also a team playing musical instruments below, who are also watching. Not very professional either. But from time to time, cheerful laughter broke out.
There are several tables next to the performance stage where people are playing chess. It was a board game similar to chess, except that the chess pieces were made very large and they were not even held by hand, but semi-automatically. People pat the chess pieces and then pat the grid, and the chess pieces will fly to the corresponding positions on their own.
There are masked fortune tellers in other compartments. They brought crystal balls, pendulums and cards and whispered something with people in the corner.
You can also see young children selling lottery tickets, which sound like a kind of horse racing ticket. But the more Aiwass heard, the more wrong he became. He felt that those "horses" seemed to refer to something, such as a certain prince.
"That's people betting on who the next emperor will be."
Bayard noticed Aiwass's gaze and said casually, "This is the traditional entertainment of the citizens. "
"Why, are you surprised?"
While waiting for the broth, Bayard whispered to Aiwass.
"Yes."
Aiwass nodded slightly.
Of course she was surprised.
Rather, it is surprising in every sense.
Whether it was Bayard dragging her into an ordinary citizen's tavern, or the nightlife and games played by people during the empire, or the joyful scene of the nine avenues on the street. , or maybe the citizens dared to "buy horses" by treating the succession to the throne as gambling
The prosperity and joy here even made Aiwass think that the depravity and cruelty in Arc Moon Manor was an illusion.
Moreover, ifAiwass remembers correctly that the dreams created by promotion rituals usually only include a few people. Just like Aiwass's first promotion ceremony, there were only a few living people on the street, almost as sparse as passers-by on the streets in the later stages of Conan.
This is not to reduce the workload of the Pillar God. The most important thing is to give these promoted people clear investigation clues.
After all, if you ask them one by one, you may not be able to ask a few people before they are targeted because of their suspicious behavior. And that would also make the ritual heavily biased toward luck. Whoever contacts the important characters first will get more information than others. Therefore, unnecessary people are usually removed from promotion ceremonies.
But there were too many passers-by at this ceremony.
There were many guests at Huyue Manor before. At that time, Aiwass was still thinking that with so many people able to interact, the clues might not have to be investigated until next month.
But now she was shocked when she came out.
This street is also full of people
If Aiwass hadn’t clearly remembered that this was a promotion ceremony, she would have even thought that she had truly returned to this era.
Although this ritual was made of amber, Aiwass remembered that the last ritual made of amber was not that complicated.
This must be the request of the twin mirrors
“This is the pub I often came to when I was a child. It was just a coincidence at first. When it rained, I had to go out to play because of my willfulness. As a result, I got separated from the servant and went here to take shelter from the rain. The boss saw that I was shivering from the cold, so he gave me a bowl of broth to warm me up. The landlady found me a towel to dry my hair.
“I thought at that time, this was the best broth I had ever tasted. "
And Bayard looked at Aiwass who fell silent, and she smiled to herself.
"This is not a personal feeling. I really feel that the flesh here is The soup was very good. The proprietress will stew beef bones and chicken racks together. And when I was a kid, I was very thin, so the boss lady would put extra pieces of meat for me.
"My father has been teaching me ritual spells since I was a child, and my mother is teaching me how to be a charming witch. When I am tired of studying, I will run out here to drink broth and listen to The minstrels played the piano. Sometimes some clowns would come on stage to tell jokes or perform some humorous plays that were not suitable for children. At that time, the boss would curse that there were children.
"It wasn't until I became an adult that I took over the family business. I felt very lonely at that time, and sometimes I would like to have a drink alone. Then I would come here. "
Bayard said, holding his face with one hand and looking at Aiwass with a beautiful smile, "I brought you to share my childhood. At the same time, little cutie, I also bring you... She came here to take a look.
"I haven't been back for a long time. If you were me, you would probably want to come here to have a look. I thought about it, if I were you, I would also want to come here for a drink. Bowl of soup.
“I feel that you seem lonely. ”
Hearing this, Aiwass was startled.
The Shadow Demon sighed softly in Aiwass's heart. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
