I am on the evil side? I am turning the tables!
Chapter 224 Too Presumptuous
"Everyone below, stop moving forward immediately! During the rainy season, people can only leave the Holy City but not enter!"
This kind of rhetoric can only intimidate those who have no background. For those in power, rules are ranked below power.
The size of the Holy City is only one-third of that of the City of Light, but its population is almost the same as that of the City of Light. Needless to say, its population density and quality of life are naturally inferior to those of the City of Light.
To be honest, Su Tang was a little disappointed with the scale and design of the Holy City. The orcs were excellent in hands-on skills, and even if they had a template for construction, they would not be able to replicate another City of Light without a leader.
The City of Light is too perfect. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it also has urban infrastructure that is beyond this era. To include so many things is too high a level for the orcs who have no theoretical knowledge.
Even if Lin Jing gave the architectural drawings and taught in person, it would be impossible for anyone to master them in a short period of time. Therefore, in order to retain as many functions as possible, some things had to be abandoned.
The most important thing in this world is survival, which means that the city must have the defensive function of resisting foreign enemies. Since it is impossible to reproduce the feat of the City of Light, then we will specialize in one thing. The Holy City and the Dawn City were built based on this.
History is always written by the victors. The Temple will not record things that are not in its favor. Even if it does, it will confuse right and wrong and portray itself as the righteous side.
There is nothing wrong with this approach. In order to better control the lower-class residents and spread faith, this method, although slow, is extremely permeable.
Slowly, the true history will be buried, and what will remain is only the truth that the temple wants people to see.
But the real truth is that after Lin Jing's death, the temple broke its promise to her, destroyed the tribe led by Sivers, captured the craftsmen who had built the City of Light, and used their tribesmen as a threat, forcing them to build the city for themselves.
The Dirty Blood Race had already suffered heavy casualties in several wars. Once this strategic technology was obtained by the people of the Temple, it would be a disaster for the Dirty Blood Race.
These craftsmen chose to commit suicide without any communication or negotiation. The temple was furious and massacred the remaining captives. Finally, that glorious period of architectural history came to an end.
Chris lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing his iconic silver hair.
"How insolent! Do you know who I am? You are a bunch of tactless people!"
He threw out a silver token, which was a general high-level pass. Except when the whole city was on alert and a lockdown order was issued, people could pass freely at other times.
When the orcs on the city wall saw the token, their expressions immediately changed and their tone was not as tough as before.
"Sir, although you are of noble status, the pass only allows you to bring one servant. These companions behind you..."
Su Tang and the others were all wearing black cloaks that covered their faces, but judging from their body shapes, there should be two females and three males.
After the soldier spoke, Su Tang and Nolan, who had transformed into a female, also showed their tokens.
"Please wait for a moment, my subordinate will have the city gates opened right away."
The soldier who negotiated immediately winked at the person next to him and said, "It's really strange that there are still important people running to the Holy City during the rainy season. I have been guarding the city gate for so long, but this is the first time I have seen it!"
General high-level passes are not common in the Holy City. Most big shots own high-level tokens of their city. Only the top rulers in the Holy City own this kind of token.
As far as they knew, these adults had not left the Holy City recently, and Chris's appearance did not match those people and their offspring, so it could be judged that they should be from other cities.
No matter which city it is, possessing this token means that one’s status will not be low.
Soon, a small door was opened on the city gate. Chris walked in front, looking like a cynical nobleman, and complained to the soldiers who opened the door.
"You're so slow in opening the city gate! Hey, are you guys looking down on me?"
The soldier wiped his forehead in panic: "Sir, calm down. This city gate has been reinforced with a formation. It needs a special person to open it. That's why it's so slow!"
"Alright, I don't want to hear your nonsense." Chris waved his hand impatiently at him. He looked like a bad-tempered rogue. "Take me to the mansion immediately."
In every city, several reception mansions are built to provide accommodation for foreign guests, and servants are kept in the mansions to clean the rooms.
"Sir, you need to go through identity verification before you can move in." The soldier answered haltingly, looking awkwardly at the arrogant Chris.
"Tsk! Why are there so many rules in this broken city of yours? First, I'll find a place to rest and then I'll check them slowly!"
"Hurry up, lead the way!" Chris said even more impatiently, and finally muttered in a low voice, "What a bunch of trash, just looking at them makes me sick."
Such an insulting remark not only did not make the soldier angry, but instead he knelt down and apologized.
"I am so sorry, sir. I will send a car to take you to the mansion immediately."
Soon two lion beasts came running over carrying a sedan chair. When they arrived at the city gate, the two lion beasts squatted down, stretched out their front legs, and motioned them to walk up on their front legs.
Chris ignored them, picked up Su Tang and jumped onto the sedan chair. Nolan was a female at the moment and couldn't stand out too much, so Erlan carried her forward.
The smoothness of this sedan chair is still not comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage. It is very bumpy and even more uncomfortable than sitting on the back of an orc. Even Su Tang, who is not prone to motion sickness, felt a little dizzy.
Chris lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the streets outside with disgust in his eyes. Compared with the neat and beautiful City of Light, the Holy City was like a slum in terms of both architecture and layout.
Finally we entered the wealthy area. The houses were not as ugly as before, but the layout of the streets and the green vegetation were still not pleasing to the eye.
For Erlan and the other two who had never seen a city, the sight of the holy city could no longer be described as dazzling, but shocking.
Can orcs really build such a building?
"Hey, you are a saint now, don't make that expression, like a wild beast that has never seen the world, it's so embarrassing!" Chris said to Nolan, whose eyes were shining and slightly surprised.
Nolan transformed into a female. Not only did her frame shrink, but even her facial lines, which were already androgynous, became softer and more feminine. Her blue-purple hair lost its luster but was still eye-catching.
"Tsk!" Nolan clasped his hands and turned his head to the other side. Although what Chris said was unpleasant, it made sense. He couldn't reveal the truth at this time.
When they arrived at the mansion, they got off the sedan chair and Chris threw two silver coins at the two orcs.
"A reward for you!"
The two lion beasts immediately leaned forward to express their gratitude: "Thank you very much for the reward, sir!"
Big shots like this from other cities, although they have bad tempers, are always generous in their actions.
After entering the mansion, Chris waved away the servants in the mansion, and the few of them were finally able to catch their breath and take off their cloaks.
As soon as he took off his cloak, Nolan couldn't help but accuse Chris of being arrogant: "I say you were too arrogant just now! If you continue like this, we will attract a lot of enemies in two days!"
