Chapter Thirteen(4/4)
The pattern of the shield is a diamond pattern with black orchids, so the cloth robe worn by the soldiers is also of this color.
Ruibo felt that the soldiers were wearing such clothes and looked a bit like clowns in circuses, except that the clowns were usually white and red in patterns.
Outside the gate of Sethburg, it was already quite lively. There were neatly built rows of houses along the way from the gate to the edge of the forest. The houses did look a bit simple, mostly made of wood, and houses with bricks and tiles were rarely seen.
These houses face the street and are all opened to shops. This is not much different from Nangang. The downstairs must be a warehouse or a place where employees live.
However, unlike Nangang, the shops here sell some daily necessities.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans are the biggest deals here.
There were rumbling sounds of chickens crowing and ducks crowing and pigs coming from the street. People walking out of the street were carrying vegetables, fruits, melons, and chickens, ducks, and fish. It seemed that there was a vegetable market.
Maybe because it was already afternoon, there were not so many people in the market. The shopkeeper leaned against the counter and was dozing, and the shopkeeper was gone. Maybe he went to the back to rest.
The five people in Ruibo and his group looked a little shabby in their clothes. The night of fighting left everyone except Kelle covered with blood. The blood and dust mixed together, and the mottled pieces were very eye-catching. Although it was late autumn, running all the way made Ted, Eckert and Mr. Hyde sweat profusely.
The three of them looked tired, and Ted's face turned pale. When he was on the road just now, the wound on his thigh was once again cracked and mined. The blood not only dyed the breeches completely red, but even the saddle was covered with blood.
Of course, the guards should be wary of such a group of people who want to enter the city.
Fortunately, although Mr. Hyde and Eckert looked embarrassed, their aura and outstanding demeanor made the guards know that even if they had no knowledge, they knew that these people were definitely not simple.
When Serthburgh is not in war, there is no need to check the city gates.
However, because the last heir of the lord was killed in Nangang, and the methods of those people were extremely cruel and bloody, the methods of the bloody caused panic among the crowd. In addition, in order to participate in the memorial ceremony of the young heir, almost all the nobles in the south of Franx gathered in the Fort Serth.
At this time, an accident occurred that no one could afford. Therefore, for those who were suspicious, the guards standing guard at the city gate must conduct a detailed investigation.
If Mr. Hyde and his friends don't have suspicious appearance, then no one can have this title.
However, those guards were not fools. The group of people in front of them had old men and children. Although they were covered with dust and blood, they definitely did not look like desperate people, but more like rich businessmen who were robbed. If they were not done well, they were still a nobleman. These people were not something they could offend.
"Dear gentlemen, welcome you to Serth Fort. Can you tell me what happened along the way?" An officer with a slightly fat man ran over from the city gate and asked while running.
Ruibo glanced at the officer. Although his wide round face was not considered obese, he could no longer find his chin. His forehead was slightly bald, and his swollen eye capsule made him look like an elderly person.
As an officer, he wore a set of one-piece breastplate, a large brass helmet on his head, and a fluffy ostrich feather on his top.
"I am Caveyere, Lord Egret Hyde, and I met a bandit on the way and we were attacked," said Mr. Hyde.
"Bandits, oh, you said there are bandits? It seems that the south is not peaceful. They just killed a heir of the lord and started robbing along the road again. Don't worry, I will report to the military commander. Those bandits will definitely be hung on the hangar." The officer said with a smile on his face: "Lord, where are you planning to go first? Should you go to the county magistrate's office to report the case, or find a hotel to rest first?"
"I have to go to the church first, and one of my loyal servants was wounded in this attack, and divine care is what we need most now," said Mr. Hyde.
The officer knew without anyone's advice that the injured person must be Ted, because his bloodless face and the blood flowing down the saddle could prove all this.
"Yes, yes, it can be seen that your brave bodyguards need the most now is the healing and sufficient rest of the pastors. However, the pastors in the church are unlikely to find time. You don't know that today is the last day of the Way Day. This is related to whether our respected lord heirs can be at peace to heaven. Moreover, the nobles living in Piton have just arrived, and they arrived here just an hour before you, and they must be paying attention to the remains."
"The nobles of Pitton? There is a Baron Lonna, and have they arrived?" asked Mr. Hyde.
"Baron Lona? Oh, yes, and his beautiful daughter. They came together, with more than thirty carriages in total, and the Baron Lona family is the most eye-catching of them." The officer replied with a smile: "They went straight to the church."
"Okay, thank you, can we go into town?" asked Mr. Hyde.
"Lord, please," the officer bowed respectfully.
Rebow followed Mr. Hyde and rode into Fort Thurth.
After passing through the city gate, the eyes suddenly became clear. After all, Scesburg is a big city. Although it may not be more prosperous than Nangang, in terms of momentum, Scesburg is much magnificent.
There are countless buildings built around, not the two-story and three-story ones that can be seen normally, but truly tall buildings.
The square full of statues is something that Nangang rarely sees. For Nangang, which is as big as gold, it is simply unimaginable to have such a large piece of land vacated.
Serthburg has many magnificent buildings made of marble, which are not available anywhere else. In Southport and Lai, the most luxurious manors are made of bricks and stone, and at most marble floors are paved with marble, just like Mr. Hyde's manor.
In addition to the completely different materials built, these buildings also have exquisite carvings standing around them. Although they cannot be called perfect works of art, the value of these sculptures is probably not under the building itself.
Compared with Nangang and Lai, another obvious feature of Serthborg is its long history.
Francis VII or IX architectural styles can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.
Although it is undeniable that the most powerful period in Franx's history was the Franx V era, when Franx almost dominated the world, the wise and powerful His Majesty, who was wise and powerful, did not make any achievements in culture.
And Francis VI, who is known for his decadence in history books, is undoubtedly a genius in many other fields except that he is not a good king.
This genius created a climax in Francis culture in the next hundred years.
During this century, countless talented artists have emerged, and few of their achievements have been surpassed.
The architectural art of Francis VII has since become a masterpiece. Although many styles have been preserved, there have never been so many magnificent buildings that can be remembered forever.
Walking between these architectural complexes of different eras and looking at the artistic crystals created by these masters, Ruibo seemed to have entered a continuous historical corridor. On this corridor are the great achievements of various historical periods.
Seeing all this, Ruibo was deeply intoxicated.
Just when Rebow was deeply attracted by all this, their destination, Serthborg Cathedral, appeared before him.
If there is any building in Fort Serth, it is undoubtedly this cathedral.
More than three thousand columns carved from white marble surround the church, and an angel statue is carved at the bottom of each marble column. The more than twenty marble steps in front of the church extend out like a square.
On the front of the church is a tower more than ten meters high. The tower faces the square and is equipped with a huge parquet glass windowsill.
Although the church gate is not as wide as the city gate, its height is comparable.
There are many statues on both sides of the gate, which are definitely real works of art.
The most conspicuous part of the cathedral is far from the tower more than ten meters high, and the most breathtaking thing is the magnificent dome.
The huge dome presents a perfect curve, and the simple shape does not require any sculpture to decorate it. The huge dome itself is a stunning masterpiece.
Only now does Ruibo know why many architects and artists have a special liking for the big dome?
Because, this clever design can indeed give people a perfect feeling that is difficult to tell.
Rebow was completely attracted by all this. He stood at the door of the cathedral and lingered. If Ekter hadn't pulled him, he might have been separated from everyone.
When you enter the Cathedral, everything inside gives people a completely different feeling from the magnificent appearance of the church.
The main feature of the appearance of the cathedral is its majestic and simple and brightness.
When you walk inside, the first impression you give is the glory of the golden wall.
The entire hall is covered with gold foil, which has been carefully carved into beautiful patterns.
Countless marble statues are used to decorate this sacred palace, and all of them are artistic crystals.
The sunlight penetrated through the colorful parquet glass windows, dyeing everything in the hall beautifully.
A golden sunlight shone straight from the roof. This sacred and solemn scene reminded Ruibo of the scene when he first met Teacher Masque, which was compared with the green light column in the teacher's laboratory.
This golden sunlight lacks the mysterious color, but it has an extra solemn and solemn atmosphere.
