I'm Shenji, what are you doing?
Chapter 722
“Can this really be called a ‘city’?”
Standing in front of the moat, no, the moat lake, Gray's eyes widened, and Shinji beside him also looked shocked.
The "stripped city" in front of us is really weird.
It is obviously such a beautiful environment. Just like what is described in fairy tales, the quiet and deep jungle, the vast and quiet lake, the thick suspension bridge tiled over the lake, and the marble castle, everything should be so perfect, no less than any existing famous city. .
However - the style of the castle itself is so distorted, so grotesque, as if it is deliberately causing people to feel uneasy.
Yes, it was intentional. Excluding the strong visual image brought by the castle itself, it is not difficult to find that the stacking of each marble has been carefully calculated.
The skewed spire, half-collapsed city gate, continuously crooked city wall and the mansion behind the city wall are connected with the surrounding mountains to form a whole, making the entire castle look like it was dug out of the mountain rather than built by hollowing out the mountain. of.
On this basis, if we observe from a distance again, we will make new discoveries.
The city is like a giant, with spiers as its spine, city gates as its ribs, walls as its shoulders, and residences as its heart—presenting a horrific scene of being turned inside out and peeling off the skin and muscles from the skeleton.
"That's why it's called 'Strip City'... It's such a bad taste! People can't help but want to blow it up."
"Instructor, is this too..."
"I support this guy this time. This city gives me a very bad feeling. It is both hypocritical and sacred."
Because before arriving at the castle, Adelaide deliberately lowered his voice.
"Hypocritical holiness..." Gray muttered to himself, "Why is this happening?"
"For giants are children of angels." The new visitor walked onto the drawbridge.
This is a typical Western aristocrat, about twenty-five years old, with blond hair and blue eyes. He wears a pure white suit and a tie clip inlaid with precious stones, which perfectly matches his temperament and makes him look calm and majestic.
The most impressive thing is his eyes, which are clear eyes rarely seen in magicians. From this point of view, it can be determined that he, like Shinji, is an outlier among magicians.
"Angel's child?" A girl in a white dress leaned out from behind the young man. She was probably only half Gray's age, about 7 or 8 years old. She looked shy like a fledgling taking flight for the first time.
"It is recorded in the Apocrypha of the Bible that the children of angels and men could be up to three thousand cubits."
"Ah, I know, it's just 1,300 meters, right?"
"Yes, the response is very fast, Rosalind."
The young man touched the girl's head, and the fondness in his eyes reminded Shinji of the time when he and Sakura got along.
"Instructor, is what he said true?" Gray asked softly.
"It's true. It comes from the book of Enoch, but when such words came out of his mouth, I couldn't believe it."
"Why?"
"Because he is the famous 'The Knight' Heine Istari."
Heine Istari comes from the Istari family, a famous alchemist family. The family itself was inconspicuous in the Clock Tower headquarters, which was full of famous families. Heine became famous because of his own experience. Although he was born in an orthodox magician family, he also possesses the first-class magician qualities, but he gave up magic and went to the church to become a practitioner.
Later, for some reason, he returned to the Clock Tower and became the favorite of many lords. For this reason, the relationship between the church and the Clock Tower was tense for a time. It is said that assassins were sent privately to take Heine away. In the end, the assassins were all defeated by Heine, and the matter was settled.
That Heine would join the church shows that he is a very devout believer. How could such a person not be surprised that such a person knows apocryphal scriptures that are not recognized by the church and yet tells his sister so naturally.
While chatting, Heine also noticed the young girl in front of them and naturally walked forward.
"Good afternoon you two, I am Heine Istari, and this is my sister-in-law Rosalind."
"Good afternoon Mr. Heine, good afternoon Miss Rosalind. I am Shen Zhong, she is Gray, and we are members of Almeroy's classroom."
In order to facilitate Shenji's secret activities, Lorelaia helped Shenji prepare several disguised identities. The one Shenji used most and liked most was Shen Zhong from China.
"So you are Professor Velvet's students. Didn't the professor come?"
"Unfortunately, the professor was originally going to come, but he temporarily received a cooperation project with China, so he temporarily sent his disciple Miss Gray and me to attend on his behalf."
"It turns out that she is Professor Velvet's inner disciple. The professor is the best teacher in the Clock Tower. Being able to become his inner disciple is what countless people dream of. Miss Gray's future achievements are limitless."
"Yes, thank you." Gray shrank, obviously not used to this kind of communication.
Shenji quickly smoothed things over: "I'm sorry, Mr. Heine, Miss Gray has only arrived in London not long ago, and she hasn't fully adapted yet."
"Then I'm really sorry. Standing at the door and chatting is disrespectful to the owner. Let's talk after we go in?"
"please--"
With that said, the two men walked in front and led the two shy ladies into the castle.
Behind the city gate is a simple and spacious vestibule. The owner of the castle does not seem to be very interested in this place. He only did the minimum maintenance. He may have planted some flowers, but he does not know the specific location of the flower garden, and can only smell a slight smell. aroma.
In front of the main city used as a mansion, a butler in a suit stood. When he saw a few people coming, he saluted respectfully and opened the door.
Behind the door is an unusually spacious hall filled with "angels".
Statues, murals, paintings, chandeliers, and all kinds of art.
The poses and materials vary, as do the types of angels depicted.
The young angel holding a bow and arrow, the heroic archangel holding a sword, the main angel holding the staff of authority...
Not only these classic angel images, but also more unknown and weirder angels.
For example, the four faces look like the alien Cherubim, the Seraph looks like a serpent, and of course the oldest angel image is also indispensable - the cherub.
It was a "flaming wheel" suspended in the air, with countless eyeballs attached to its outside, keeping an eye on everything on the ground.
Yes, this is the image of an angel that was originally recorded. It is not the human form that people recognize, but is closer to the original role of angels - containers of divine power.
The so-called angels use their bodies to carry divine power, just like modern magicians use their own magic circuits to perform magic.
Another name for "Adela" is the "City of Angels"!
PS: I don’t know how many people have watched "Overlord", but the angels in it are closer to the original image of angels - even though they are all the ones who were brutally tortured by Anzi.
