Gonda City, as the capital of Deber and the location of the Holy Light Church with the largest number of believers in the Seven Kingdoms, has a resident population of over three million, though not as exaggerated as Vatican City.
Therefore, its prosperity is unmatched even by Colen and Whiteflow City.
Exquisite fountains and bronze sculptures are everywhere, the streets are wide and clean, and various flowers are planted on both sides, with continuous fragrance throughout the seasons.
The architectural styles on the streets vary, from classical Baroque to modern minimalism, each building is a work of art.
The shops on both sides of the road display luxury goods from all over the Seven Kingdoms, from exquisite jewelry to gorgeous dresses. In the slave market, female slaves of various races are looking forward to being taken away from this hell by a handsome and gentle master.
Stepping on the road paved with unknown blue bricks, you arrive at the famous Holy Dove Square, where you can hear the faint hymns of the priests coming from the Holy Light Cathedral in the distance.
The carefully set distance and layout ensure that the transmitted songs are not too noisy and disturbing, but rather have a ethereal and soothing charm.
In the center of the square stands a golden statue, the famous Holy Light Goddess.
It is twenty-eight 'ren' high, wearing a light gauze dress, with fluttering sleeves, as if gently拂动 by a breeze. Her face is beautiful, soft and sacred, and her eyes reveal endless compassion and wisdom.
Her hands are gently raised, as if conveying blessings and hope to the world. Every fold of the statue is carved in meticulous detail, and every detail is lifelike, as if the craftsmen have given it life, and in the next second, she will walk down from the stone seat.
All of this converges into an unspeakable religious atmosphere, making people in it want to worship.
However, Li Wei didn't feel anything. The difficulty of getting him to believe in a god is no less than getting the queen to take off her clothes and be watched by the entire population of Gonda.
I don't know if it's the wrong season or what, but the crowd didn't see the flock of white doves as pure as angels.
"What's this song? It sounds pretty good," Zart smacked his lips.
For this roughneck to think it's good, it must be an unimaginable height for ordinary people.
"I told you to read more, but you had to go tease goblins," Li Wei kicked this country bumpkin lightly, and began to show off his knowledge to these illiterate people from Highcliff Castle: "This is 'Dawn of Radiance - Ode to the Goddess', played in twelve-part arias, said to make people feel the goddess's blessing."
"Clap clap clap!"
At this moment, applause accompanied by praise came from behind the crowd.
"As expected of the Lion Hunter Knight who made the first contribution in seizing the title in the south and turned the tide to solve the demon disaster, I didn't expect that aside from that dazzling strength, your knowledge is also so remarkable."
The knights drove away the crowd, guarding a middle-aged man who walked over.
A smiling face, a meticulously groomed slicked-back hair, a well-proportioned mustache and a small beard on the chin, matched with a proper and straight dress, an impeccable noble 권贵 attire.
"Who are you?" The lord put his hands in his pockets.
"Felo Martel, the prince sent by the Northern Territory this time is me," the mustachioed middle-aged man bowed slightly, giving a noble greeting that was standard to the slightest detail: "Good day, respected Lord Li Wei, you did a great job earlier! You severely挫了 those Sith guys' spirit!"
"Damn, were you the one who framed me earlier?!" Li Wei suddenly widened his eyes, his fists clenched and cracking.
"Lord Li Wei, a fight may not be a bad thing!" Felo looked at the approaching lord, not daring to bet whether the other party dared to beat a prince in the street, and hurriedly said.
"I'll give you time to fabricate a statement, if I'm not satisfied..." Li Wei sneered twice, although he didn't finish his words, the meaning was obvious.
Felo breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, but asked calmly on his face: "Lord Li Wei, do you guess why you had a conflict for so long, until it was almost out of control, that prince came just in time?
"He had been watching from the楼台 earlier."
"Want to use my hand to teach these arrogant Sith guys a lesson?" Li Wei gave the simplest and most reliable guess.
"Wrong! It's to test your bottom line!"
Felo looked up at the Holy Light Goddess statue, respectfully bowed, and then continued with a meaningful question: "Do you know what a legendary powerhouse means?"
Then, without waiting for an answer, he continued with envy, "It means that he can already make his identity prominent by virtue of his strength, and even the king will treat him with courtesy, after all, no king would want to needlessly increase an enemy with legendary strength."
"Because legend is the top of the world, the most powerful person in this world, and拳头 - is the truth!"
"Good saying." The lord nodded in agreement, he believed in these iron fists on his body from beginning to end.
"And when this kind of power can no longer be limited by force alone, then the world will look for other methods, such as morality."
Felo smiled and pointed to his chest, "A psychologist put forward an interesting statement, only legends can deal with legends, so why can't this legend be himself?
"So, that prince is testing your bottom line, and the Holy Sith Kingdom also sent a mentally retarded prince to test your bottom line."
"Just losing an insignificant marginal prince to test the character and bottom line of a legendary powerhouse, I'm afraid even the most拙劣 scholar knows how to choose."
"What's more, they should have推算过 your character in advance, knowing that you wouldn't make things too big."
"So, a bunch of little瘪三 dare to disrespect someone with legendary strength, and also the only dragon knight in the Seven Kingdoms, just because I have a good temper?" The lord rolled his eyes, feeling very speechless.
"Among the remaining legendary powerhouses on the continent today, your temper can indeed rank at the top." Felo smiled.
"Damn." The lord was told for the first time that he had a good temper.
But to be fair, he really had the temperament of respecting others a foot, and he would respect others a丈.
"This is something every newcomer will experience, everyone below the legend will be afraid that the newly promoted legendary powerhouse is a moody butcher, so it is especially important to figure out your character. Although it's very stupid." Felo shrugged: "After all, you can't expect cats to still dare to extend their claws when they see dragons."
"But I think it should be much better after this incident.
"That's why I said a fight may not be a bad thing."
"If the dragon doesn't dare to respond to provocations, then sooner or later even the cats will dare to extend their claws to it."
"So Lord Li Wei, please show some majesty appropriately, and teach some ignorant mice a lesson, it may not be impossible."
"People are really cheap," Li Wei sighed.
Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile when he came to Gonda this time, but he didn't expect that keeping a low profile wouldn't work, and he had to be high-profile for the other party to be satisfied.
The formal topic ended, Li Wei also认可了 the other party's statement, but this prince's quick tongue successfully made him lose the heroic mark that he could leave in a one-on-one fight with a legendary powerhouse.
"Gonda is a city with a long history, and prosperity is just a layer of veil on its surface. Now it may still take some time before King Harland summons you, because the people from泰勒西 haven't arrived yet." Prince Felo said with a smile: "Lord Li Wei might as well go and see, travel around, and experience the customs and culture of Gonda."
Honestly, even without the king's invitation and for the Holy Light Church's "Holy Word Treasure Book", Gonda is worth a visit from a tourism perspective alone.
Just the various races of beautiful women on the streets are dazzling, and there are also those snacks that have never been seen before, even just a glance makes people want to try them.
"I still have something to do and need to go to Gonda's Noble Garden first. If Lord Li Wei wants to find me, just let the little birds in Gonda City send a letter to the Noble Garden." Prince Felo quickly left with a group of nobles from the Northern Territory, ignoring Skye who was following Li Wei.
"Boss, what good food is there in Gonda?" Zart举着 a telescope and looked around.
The other barbarians heard this and looked forward to it.
The only thing that these big eaters care about is probably eating.
"I heard that there is a delicacy called 'Elf Secret Mushroom Stew' in Gonda's snack street, and the reputation has always been good," Mir said with a smile.
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！
"The name sounds good, the food made by elves should be delicious," the foodie Zha made this judgment based on his impression of elves.
"It's okay, it is said that it is to let a hungry elf beautiful girl eat松香菇, wait for it to be taken out and used to stew the soup." Mir露出 a smug smile, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted collective glare from Heather and several rabbit girls.
"Wo Ri, don't call me brother-in-law in the future, I can't afford to lose this person." The lord felt a chill.
A group of strong men from Highcliff Castle were disgusted and摩拳擦掌, preparing to let Mir experience what it's like to fly.
But this kid also knew that he had aroused public anger, and quickly waved his hands to beg for mercy.
"Mir, I don't know where you heard the rumors from. The reason why this dish is called Elf Secret Mushroom Stew is because the owner is an elf gourmet, and her cooking skills are really good. I recommend you all to try it, but the price is a bit expensive."
A clear and sweet girl's voice sounded.
Li Wei turned his head and saw that Fatir had come behind him at some point.
Today, she was wearing a plain nun's robe and a white headscarf, which just covered the position above her nose, only露出 a cherry mouth.
"I heard from the priests that someone was making trouble at the gate of Gonda City. I guessed that it was Li Wei who came. I didn't expect it to be really you."
Fatir said, the corners of her mouth翘了起来 imperceptibly.
"Why is it always me who makes trouble? Can't it be a drunkard or a nobleman 충돌 by a farmer?" Li Wei felt that he had suffered a great injustice: "Fatir, you have too many prejudices when you look at me."
"No one has dared to make trouble at the gate of Gonda for decades, except for the famous dragon knight, the lord of Highcliff Castle, and the extraordinary Marquis Li Wei, I really can't think of anyone who dares to do this."
"Okay, I admit it was me." The lord甩潇洒 his hair very洒, and added afterwards: "It should be strength and appearance coexist."
If anyone else said this, they would be耻笑 by the little nuns behind Fatir.
That is, after Li Wei said it, it made these little nuns blush, and a pair of big eyes偷看 at the lord.
This is the dragon knight who solved the demon disaster, and I heard that His Highness Fatir personally went to recruit the Holy Knight, and his Holy Light cultivation is extremely profound.
……
The magnificent cathedral of the Holy Light Church is located in the center of Gonda. This cathedral is not only the center of religious activities, but also the pinnacle of architectural art. The spire of the cathedral pierces the clouds, and the golden dome shines in the sun, symbolizing the sacredness and eternity of the Holy Light.
The interior space of this cathedral is grand and solemn. Huge crystal chandeliers hang under the towering arches. When the sunlight falls through the stained glass windows, the entire cathedral seems to be shrouded in a layer of sacred light.
The two sides of the nave of the church are lined with exquisitely carved stone pillars, inlaid with gold and silver threads, depicting the deeds of the twelve apostles of the Holy Light Church. Each pillar is like an independent monument, telling the story of the Holy War and dedication.
The walls are decorated with exquisite murals and stained glass windows. Every stroke in the murals is meticulous, and the expressions of the characters are lifelike, telling the history and teachings of the Holy Light Church.
Fatir arranged independent residences for the people of Highcliff Castle, a side hall with three floors, with a courtyard in the middle full of flowers, sculptures and fountains.
After moving in, Fatir still had something to do, so she left first, and the lord closed the door and began to instruct the barbarians who were already restless.
These country barbarians came to this prosperous city for the first time. Although they didn't show it on the surface, the lord knew that they must want to go to the city to see the world.
"Each of you has a gold coin, pay attention to spending, and remember that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If you really惹到 them, then go together, first干趴了 the other party, and then come to me immediately."
The barbarians of Highcliff Castle stood in a row, standing straight. Li Wei put a gold coin in their hands one by one, and warned them.
"Yes, boss!" Every time he put a gold coin, the barbarian in front of him was as happy as a child getting pocket money.
Originally, Li Wei, who advocated keeping a low profile, did not intend to let the barbarians go out alone. He was sure that they would do something wrong if he didn't watch them.
But after listening to what Prince Felo said, he understood that sometimes he had to be high-profile.
This way, others will have awe.
"Brother-in-law, what about mine?" Mir looked at his empty hands, and then looked at the lord who was putting away the money bag.
"Gonda is too prosperous, your sister is afraid that you will learn badly if you have money, so she told me not to give you money. You can just follow them out to混吃混喝."
Mir, who looked委屈, was soon架了 out by the barbarians with their arms around each other.
