Main text 478 Self-humiliation (Part 3)

The Salanders are a romantic nation that loves freedom and art. This is in sharp contrast to the resolute and courageous Kugits in the north. In the Kugits, all facilities are for survival, even the holy city of Turga The beautiful lake outside is also to collect more rainwater during heavy rains so that the tribe can survive various natural disasters that may occur. In the southern island country of Salander, all this is reversed.

Whether it is due to their admiration for the culture of the sea and the sky, or the romantic pursuit of art, the Salanders try their best to express their preferences to the extreme. In Hutu Bein, which has just experienced war, there is nothing to see on both sides of the street. In the depressing scene, there are flowers everywhere, large tracts of various colors and unnamed flowers, decorating the whole city like a garden.

Under the golden light of the morning sun, the beautiful green bridleway developed in the center of the city is like a green horizontal line, dividing the entire city into several areas.

Against the background of these beautiful scenes, the steeple houses in the aristocratic area and the two-story small buildings in the civilian area do not appear to be so contradictory. Under the blow of the long wind, the grassland undulates like waves. It is hard to tell that this a city just recovering from the war

"Hutubei'en is where my uncle has devoted his whole life. Everything here was arranged and planned by him. In order to obtain grass seeds that will not wither in all seasons, he even paid a high price to have people come from Dorok in the northeastern mountains of Ikadiwa. After acquiring it, every tree and grass here was planted under his uncle's personal supervision. "Nilai looked at the familiar sight in front of her, her eyes filled with moisture, and whispered in the fat man's ear,"

Suddenly pointing to a rising hill outside the city, he said: "That is the starting point of the Wild Horse Plains. The great plain that stretches for hundreds of miles is the most beautiful place in the north of Salander. It winds all the way to Gorn County in the east. It is crossed by the majestic Eoglas Mountains, so the Eogras Mountains are also known as "The Great Crossing Mountains. My uncle once took me there for hunting. The beautiful mountains there are still unforgettable to me."

"That's my uncle's observatory. He is a fanatical sky believer who has devoted his life to the study of astronomy. He always warns us that swords and war are the biggest enemies of this land. He hopes that we can live in peace. The reason why I I was able to follow my mentor because of my uncle's influence. I spent the best ten years of my childhood here, but who knows, he still didn't avoid the war in the end."

Walking into the urban area of ​​​​Hutubei'en, Nilai, who looked sad and angry just now, seemed to have turned into a little girl. Under her poetic explanation, the flowing air was filled with refreshing fragrance.

Fatty listened quietly, not wanting to interrupt Nilai's beautiful memories.

In just one month, this weak girl first experienced the murder of her father, and then the death of her relatives in the war. Although she looked determined during the day, in the dark, the fat man could often see that she was slightly red and swollen. eyes, this depression needs a chance to vent

"That's the sky dome where the meeting was held." Suddenly Nilai pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance. Following the direction Nilai pointed,

The fat man saw a ridiculously beautiful colorful dome building, shining in the sunlight on the top of the mountain. Next to the gray castle on the top of the mountain, it looked particularly eye-catching. It was like the finishing touch across the sky, making the whole city shine. come alive

"That is a colorful stone collected from the Mustang Plain and the Eogras Mountains. It is the favorite stone of us Salanders. But the only one who can collect so many and build a sky palace is my uncle's Hutu. Bei En

When I was a child, my favorite thing was to climb up to the observatory on the dome of the sky and look at the countless sparkling stars above." Niya leaned in the fat man's arms, her hot and plump body pressed against her, her pretty face flushed slightly,

"I swear, I will restore peace to this land and build you a bigger and more magnificent sky dome in Lhasa, so that the sky will be full of stars to accompany you to sleep."

The fat man felt the desolation in her tone and felt pity. He reached out and gently hugged her shoulders. The warm and fragrant breath made the fat man intoxicated.

The advancing cavalry suddenly stopped,

"Sir, there is a fork in the road ahead. Should we go to the meeting place on the mountain first, or to the Burnt family's mansion?" A Guards Cavalry came from the front and stopped in front of the fat man's carriage.

"I want to go see my aunt first. She loved me the most when I was a child. This incident must have hit her hard. Since that bastard Sodofei forced them to move out of the Duke's Palace, many families who were originally on good terms with them have , have chosen to isolate them, life must be very difficult now," Nilai gritted her teeth and said angrily in Fatty's ear.

"Okay, let's go to the Burnt family's mansion first." The fat man waved to the Guards Cavalry in front, and the carriage started to turn again. The soft grass made a soft and sweet sound under the ruts. The carriage turned the corner of the street in front and turned into a narrow street,

This place is between the aristocratic area and the common people area. The buildings on the roadside are of different levels. You can see the small gray and white courtyards of the little nobles, and you can also see the two-story wooden houses used by the common people for shops and residences. There are all kinds of small goods, grains, vegetables, and leather. It is simply a big grocery street.

It seems that a team of extraordinary cavalry appeared here, and the shops setting up stalls on the street showed a trace of panic and uneasiness. Some civilians on the roadside did not even want their goods and moved out of the way.

There have been a lot of nobles coming to Hutubein recently. More than a dozen lords, plus their guards and retainers, have flooded in with thousands of people, making this medium-sized city with only about 10,000 people suddenly become crowded and chaotic.

In the eyes of these outsiders, Hutubein is a city without managers and power restrictions. Duke Sophiedo, who has just taken office as the governor of the north, has no intention of taking into account the efforts of these ordinary civilians and declining nobles. Everything in the city maintains order. All the soldiers have been transferred to the castle. On this street, it has become commonplace several times a day for the guards to snatch goods and the nobles to ride their horses and kill civilians.

"What's going on?" Nilai looked around and frowned, "I remember my uncle built a cargo station specifically for trade outside the city. Why are all these people flocking to the city now?"

"According to my information, the cargo station outside the city has been converted into a racecourse exclusively for nobles. In order to show the excellence of his management, that idiot Sodofei has ordered that all businessmen in the city must gather here. On the street, nobles who come to attend meetings must provide goods at half price. They simply treat this place as their own personal belongings." The fat man next to him curled his lips in disdain. ..
