Chapter 57: The Capital City of Alfrye 3
There is a dedicated road from the Port of Fraternity to the city of Alfrey, which is wider and smoother than the roads in the other directions - after all, it is the most trafficked road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Numerous short carriages await guests from the harbor here. The Port of Fraternity is the largest port in the kingdom, and it is responsible for connecting several large cities near the Okong Sea, and there are many people on any given day. The short carriage here, the daily business is very good.
The three of them sat in a carriage, their curious eyes surveying the scenery along the road—no, the other cars on the road were more attractive. Freight is almost more developed than passenger transportation as a political and economic center carrying passengers and goods. In order to efficiently transport goods, these wagons have been enhanced with magic arrays, and Dream can feel the magic of passing wagons.
In the distance, the city of Alfrey is getting closer. The white walls of the city looked more and more holy in the sunlight, and the heart of the dream was also a little excited. She looked at the gates in the distance—several gates were of different sizes and styles, and the one on the side of the Port of Fraternity was the largest—and there were no guards there.
Not only is there no guard at this gate, but there are no other gates either. A river of horse-drawn carriages entered the city of Alfrye without hindrance, except for the occasional carriage or two that stopped at the gate and went around the side of the city wall by a side path to the city wall, where there were a few small pavilions with a few uniformed men.
It looks like those vehicles are the ones that have been stopped...... but why did they stop themselves?
The people in those pavilions should be in charge of inspection, right?
The curious dream asked the coachman why the cars stopped at the city gate on their own.
The coachman patiently explained the dream - for people on the floating continent, helping others is a kind of pleasure, and it is one of the ways to realize the value of life. Even if the status of the dream is not honorable, they will still try to answer the questions of others as much as possible.
Magic circles are installed at each of the gates here. These magic arrays have been developed in the research institute of the Academy of Magic, and can be used to detect whether people passing by and cars are carrying dangerous goods - such as weapons and flammable and explosive materials. Of course, surface people can also be detected. The vehicle in question had to be tested at a nearby kiosk and passed before it could enter Alfrey. Stopped vehicles will be inspected from the side road so as not to interfere with normal traffic.
"Why can't you see such a powerful magic array in the Academy of Magic?" asked Dream.
Could it be that there is no need for the magic academy to install such a magic array? The security measures in the capital should indeed be tighter, but it is a little strange that I have never seen it in the magic academy.
"These magic arrays are the only ones in the world that can be found in these city gates!" said the coachman proudly, "This magic array is not so simple to arrange!"
This magic array can automatically detect dangerous objects, but it is only one aspect of its function, and the real complication lies in its ultimate defensive function - the city gate is just a doorway, and there is no door panel, or rather, no door panel.
These carriages could not enter the city, but they were only a small manifestation of the defensive function.
