Above the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen and his party, who received a lot of information from the Virgin, seized the time and rushed to the Virgin City, because they could set aside the supply convoy, so their speed was faster, and they arrived at the foot of the Virgin City a day earlier than originally planned. .

Essett had resigned and learned of General Montagno ’s death. He had long wanted to rush back to deal with his affairs.

Even though the world that Xiao Chen and others have seen is far from comparable to those of this world, when they overlook a goddess on a hillside among them, they are still infected by the beauty of the city. Because the western continent has long become a unified country, and there are saints ruling here, although there are political changes, but there are few large-scale wars, so most cities do not have the towering walls as the eastern continent.

The same is true for the City of Virgin, which is large in scale, with a river running through the middle, dividing the city into two halves.

In the center of the city, there is a giant white tower that is nearly 100 meters high. The tower looks simple and historical. There are many huge windows on each floor, and the light should be able to shine into the tower in large amounts. This is that here is the ruling center of the entire Republic: Baita.

In ancient times, the White Pagoda was the place where the Virgin lived and ruled the entire country, but now that the specific government affairs were handed over to the Sage Council, the Virgin lived in the palace not far from the White Pagoda. The White Tower itself became the place where the Sage would work and meet, and it was the administrative center of the Republic.

The white pagoda was built on a hillside on the west bank of the river, and the surrounding buildings were lined up from top to bottom.

"The tall waterfront house on the west bank of the river is the saint's palace." Brudes said.

Xiao Chen looked over there, and saw that the Xing Palace is a complex of a square main building and three or four high and low side buildings.

The houses in the palace are also white. It should be said that most of the houses in the entire Virgin City inherit the color of the white pagoda, either dark or light gray, and the green of the trees growing in it, which constitute the main color of the entire Virgin City. According to Brudes, this is to pay tribute to the virgin who will always remain pure.

"There is no more pure city than the Virgin Mary. Although it only looks like this, after all, this is a political capital." Despite this, Bruders said, but his tone was still full of pride.

They arrived here at more than ten o'clock in the morning. Not only did many vehicles travel from various roads to the heart of the continent. I even saw a train spitting smoke and drove towards a train station in the east of the city.

There are also many steam ships passing by that big river, moored at the pier on the east or west bank of the big river.

There are two bridges on the river. One bridge is very simple. It is a stone arch bridge with a large span. The stone bridge has five bridge holes on the river, and the largest three bridge holes in the middle can allow steam ships to pass easily. Such a bridge can only be realized in the magic world. Xiao Chen determined that it must use some supernatural power to be able to become what it is now.

The other bridge is a steel bridge built on the basis of a stone bridge tower. It is similar to the bridge above the earth and is full of the style of the Industrial Revolution.

auzw.com Feeling Xiao Chen ’s vision, Bruders said: "The east of the Virgin City is the old city. When the Virgin was set here thousands of years ago, it started from the West City The city was built. Later, because of the need for development, everyone built a lot of houses on the west bank of the river. Although Xicheng is a new city, it has a history of more than a thousand years. "Bruders introduced," The stone bridge It was built more than 2,000 years ago by the Holy Girl to facilitate the residents of the East and West City, and its name is naturally called the Holy Girl Bridge. "

"How was that bridge built?" Xiao Chen asked.

"The bridge piers were naturally built by manpower, but when laying the bridge deck, everyone felt that it was impossible to succeed, because the span between the piers was too large. Later, I did n’t know what method the Saint Girl used, overnight The foundation of the bridge was built between them. "

"It feels like magic." Xiao Chen said.

"We also think that it is magic. But even if it is magic, as long as the lady does it, it is her divine power." Yolanda said that after the interrogation, she was still sealed with magic power and brought here all the way. .

Bruders decided not to participate in this topic. He diverged and said, "As for the steel bridge, it was less than eight years after it was completed. It was built by workers brick by brick, steel by steel. After steam and electricity, the world is changing so fast that people ca n’t understand it. "

He added: "However, any new things will still be placed on the west side. For example, the railway station you saw was built outside the west side nearly ten years ago. There are many factories in the city. To the west, Xicheng District has more than doubled in more than a decade. "

Yolanda said: "Look at the chimneys with black smoke. The city of the Virgin shouldn't have such things. If we can use magic in a fair manner, and use those magic arrays, we don't need to put The city is so sullen. "

Xiao Chen said: "Is this the focus of your contradiction between the executive magicians and the big families who will meet the masters?"

Yolanda said: "Magic is currently a shameless thing, where is the contradiction. It is just our private idea. But there is a more efficient method, there is no reason not to use it, right? The East China Continent must also use magic Production? "

"You are wrong. Most royals and nobles over there just use magic as a kind of force guarantee to maintain their rule." Luo Ling said.

"This is really wasteful," Yolanda and Brudes said in unison.

Xiao Chen realized from the reaction of the two that the dispute between magic and industry in the Western Continent was not a dispute between the two productive forces themselves, but two groups of people representing the two powers, fighting for power.

The clear task of the referee is to deal with the wizards who use magic power. However, when the power of industry rises, the magic of those half-hanger wizards is very weak in front of the roaring machine. How many people will actually use such power to take risks? If the referee no longer does anything, this era will become their final glory.

After deliberation, it was decided that Brudes would lead them into the West City first, and then visit the sage Asimiro served by Brudes, and then arrange for them to visit the Virgin.
