Chapter 695: Unexpected Goodies

The next morning, Don and his party arrived in the sky above the capital of the Solant Kingdom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

City of Songs.

The city of Anthem is located in the heart of Mount Gugar, very similar to Taris, with the city backed by Mount Gugar to the north and a tall semi-arc wall to the south.

The entire city of songs covers a very large area, completely occupying the belly of Mount Gugar, and the number of inhabitants has reached a million - a very large number for Plandal today, and it is not worse than Alinks.

In Donn's view, the planning of the city of songs is quite unreasonable, which is very detrimental to the future development planning of the city, and the city is built in the belly of the mountain, which limits the future development direction of the city.

However, in the eyes of the locals of Purandal, this is the most time-saving and safe way to build, with the mountain in the back, which can reduce the probability of being attacked on the back, and the mountain becomes the natural wall of the city, and at the same time reduces the amount of work and a lot of money spent on the construction of the wall.

"Although we Hohenheim have a stronghold in the City of Anthems, we generally only have the person in charge of external relations living here, and most of the family members live in our own territory to the north."

It was the first time that Edward had looked down at the City of Songs from above, and when he looked down from the sky, the original glory of the City of Songs looked very small, and the shortcomings of urban planning were unobstructed.

The most neat and beautiful areas of the city are completely concentrated in the inner part of the city center, and the beauty of the buildings decreases from the inside to the outside, and by the outermost area, it has completely become a dilapidated slum.

Of course, the buildings near the main thoroughfares, even in the outer towns, were beautifully built, perhaps to satisfy Klein's vanity?

"Klein is a very ambitious king."

Angus stared at the castle in the inner city and said, "I met him once, and he made an offer that was hard to refuse, trying to win me over. ”

Tang En smiled slightly: "Why did you refuse?" ”

"For my power is not used to satisfy the lusts of a king."

Angus shook his head and said, "I can't get to where I am now, I can't do it without the guidance of the gods, and I can't do without the support of the elves, if it weren't for ...... Forget it, it's all in the past. ”

Angus sighed again and skipped that topic: "Do you know King Klein?" ”

"I haven't dealt with it."

Done's eyes narrowed slightly, so that Angus couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment: "But his ambition can be seen from the name of the city." ”

"City of Songs...... ? ”

Angus muttered to himself.

As we all know, in the human realm, the followers of the Holy See of Light occupy an absolute number and are the main faith of mankind, and Alinks is the base camp of the Holy See of Light.

However, Klein changed the name of the royal capital to the City of Songs, and the meaning is obvious.

According to the gossip that circulated, Klein once had a secret meeting with Pope Jesolini XXIII and asked the Pope to transfer the Great Holy See of Light to the City of Songs, making the City of Songs the new Holy City.

Unfortunately, in the end the Pope rejected the offer.

No one knows the real reason for this, but the result is very clear, Klein made a big joke, the extravagant Basilica of Light built specifically for the Holy See of Light is now only a branch of the Holy See of Light - the Holy See of Light Song City Branch is more luxurious than the headquarters of the Alinks, which is also a well-known anecdote about the Holy See of Light.

After a moment's stay over the City of Songs, the Morning Star continued to hide in the clouds and flew north, over the Gugar Mountains, over the Misty Forest, and then to the White Mist Plains, the territory of the House of Hohenheim.

The White Mist Plain, also known as the White Mist Collar, is a duke of the Solant Kingdom, and its name comes from the dense white fog that appears on the plain every morning and evening, especially in spring and autumn.

In addition to the white fog in the morning and evening, the White Fog Plain has no other shortcomings, the water and grass here are abundant, the land is fertile, and the sun is sufficient, whether it is to grow wheat or various fruit trees are very good, it is a very good grain producing area.

The White Mist Collar covers a large area, and the food produced here accounts for a quarter of the supply of the Solant Kingdom every year, and the Hohenheim family here also provides a large amount of magical equipment to the Solant Kingdom, so the importance of this place is quite high.

The fact that the Hohenheim family was able to obtain the White Mist Plains as a territory shows the importance of the Hohenheim family, the original kings of the Solant Kingdom.

"The Hohenheim family has twenty-six villages, eleven towns, and four cities in the White Mist Plain, with a total ruling population of more than 10 million, but because the White Mist Plain is relatively large, it is still sparsely populated in general."

"In addition, there are fifty plantations, fifteen textile workshops, eighteen forging workshops, and three ......mines throughout the White Fog Plain."

"The Hohenheim family has completely controlled all aspects of the White Mist Plain, and all the residents here can be said to be working for the Hohenheim family, and if they break away from the Hohenheim family, they will all starve to death."

Listening to Edward's introduction, Donn slowed down and looked down at the farmland below, which was quite large and neatly planned due to its location on the plains, making it easy to plant and harvest and count - perhaps an alchemist's occupational disease?

Don suddenly asked, "What are those people doing?" ”

By noon, there were still many people busy in the fields, carrying a box and a pole in their hands, walking around the fields, looking very much like farmers on Earth spraying pesticides - but Plandal clearly had no concept of spraying pesticides.

Edward glanced down and said, "They're spraying plant growth catalysts in the ground. ”

"Plant growth catalyst?"

"Well, a by-product of alchemy."

Edward explains: "One of the family members stumbled upon an experimental residue extract, which he poured into a flower bed, and after a while he found that the flowers and plants in the flower pond were growing very fast and lush, so he wrote down the recipe, and now the family has named the by-product extract as the plant growth catalyst, which is widely used in plantations and farmland, saving more than half of the plant's growth time, and the results are many." ”

Don En was dumbfounded,?

Without the help of elven druids, but discovered this black technology? The Hohenheim family, you are going to heaven!

At this time, Don's heart moved: "Edward, do you know that recipe?" ”

"I don't know."

Edward shook his head: "After discovering the important role of the plant growth catalyst, that alchemy recipe was classified as a secret, and only the core members of the family had the opportunity to learn it. ”

Hey, they're not stupid......

Don pursed his lips, but began to think about it in his heart.

This plant growth catalyst sounds much more awesome than the chemical fertilizer on the earth, if this catalyst is combined with the power of the druid, there is still a need to worry about the lack of food in the future?

This is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and we must find a way to get it.

Regardless of how Donn calculated the Hohenheim family in his heart, as they advanced, a large manor house in the middle of the jungle soon appeared in front of them.

"This is the Hornheim family's estate."

Edward pointed to the Hohenheim Manor hidden in the jungle and said, "We have to go down here, there is a magic circle above the Hohenheim Manor, and there is no way to enter from above." ”

As soon as Don raised his eyebrows, the height of the Magic Energy Flying Car immediately began to drop, and when he pressed the button, the wheels on both sides bounced out of the chassis of the car, and then the Magic Energy Flying Car landed steadily on the ground and drove forward.

Although the Hohenheim Manor is hidden in the forest, they usually have to come out often, so they have opened a wide avenue in the forest, and the gravel road is not as good as the asphalt road, but it can barely drive normally.

Not long after they entered the jungle, they were immediately stopped by a patrol that suddenly appeared.

"Stop! Ahead is private territory, it is forbidden to enter without permission, please report your identity and wait for the report! ”

Looking at the equipment on the soldiers of the patrol, Tang En couldn't help but sigh a little, the Hohenheim family is worthy of being an alchemy family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the equipment on this ten-person patrol team alone is enough to make the previous Imperial Third Legion ashamed.

The worst thing on their bodies is also the finest level of magic equipment, and the sword on the captain's back has reached legendary quality!

This is just an ordinary ten-man patrol, not some elite adventurer!

"Captain Bocuse, it's me."

Edward poked his head out a little embarrassed and said hello.

"Master Edward?"

Bocuse frowned, and glanced in the direction of the manor with some concern: "Why did you come back?" You should know that Master Alphonse let you go because you promised not to come back, and if he knew that you were back, you would be in danger. ”

A trace of gloom flashed on Edward's face, and he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I didn't come back this time to fight with him for inheritance, but because I had to see my grandfather once for something." ”

Don and Angus looked at each other thoughtfully, it seems that Edward left the Hohenheim family with another secret - the meaning of the obedient words seems to be the same old inheritance battle?

Almost immediately, he was able to make up hundreds of thousands of words of wonderful plots.

"That's right...... Although I understand, the second young master may not understand...... Do you have to go in? ”

Edward smiled: "I'm already here, can I turn back?" ”

"In that case, please come in."

Bocuse and the others got out of the way.

In the distance, the Hohenheim Manor looms. (To be continued.) )
