Chapter 945: Shock
As a captive, Bird felt mixed feelings at the moment.
Logically speaking, he is a royal agent, and once an agent of this level is captured, it will be the rhythm of being guarded and imprisoned by heavy soldiers. But now, he feels that he has mixed feelings.
There was no heavily armed army, and there were no chains to your legs. His whole body was just bound by a circle of thick-looking vines, his hands were tied behind his back. In addition, even the two girls who had come to lead the way did not seem to realize their "preciousness" at all, and they were laughing and talking to each other all the way in a strange language that Bird did not understand, but which felt as good as singing. But he didn't even look at Bird behind him, and he didn't seem to be afraid of him running away at all, nor was he worried about what tricks he would do. This hurts Bird a lot -- I'm a royal agent anyway, can you be more serious? How do I feel that you are catching drunks who are drinking and making trouble?
However, since the other party didn't care about him, Bird was also happy to take this opportunity to carefully observe where he was being held.
Ever since he found out that he was locked up, Bird had wondered if he had strayed into the territory of some strange force. Especially after seeing these two girls, he had this idea more and more. It's no wonder that because civilization here is relatively backward, cities and countries don't expand quickly. In many cases, unless two countries are too close to each other, they may "accidentally" bump into each other, and then either cooperate or start a confrontation. After all, the traffic here is so inconvenient that it is generally difficult to bump into each other. Therefore, the countries on this continent basically either rely on caravans traveling around to know whether there are any forces or countries in their southeast, northwest, and northwest, or the patrols they send may go to some unfamiliar territory and happen to meet each other's patrols, and then discover each other's existence. It's a bit like the fog system of a strategy game, where you send troops to clear the fog and you happen to run into other civilizations......... Here's how.
The previous king of the Golden Eagle Country was a man of great talent, and he did not sit back and wait like the rulers of other countries, but took the initiative to attack, sending a team of spies to explore around the trade routes of traveling merchants, so as to find out the situation around him, and then established the status of the Golden Eagle Country through a series of battles launched by foreign countries. After King Fix succeeded to the throne, he also followed the will of his father and tried to continue to expand the power of the Golden Eagle Country.
And if it is for this reason that General Hussite and they strayed into the territory of a certain force and were attacked by the other party, then it is not impossible. After all, these girls are so beautiful, if they have contact with the outside world, it is absolutely impossible for them to know no information at all.
However, after some observation, Bird seemed a little surprised. Because he can be sure that the village he is currently in is a village and town outside White Rock City!
As an agent, Bird had been here before, so he still remembered a little bit of what it was like. If he remembered correctly, this should be the outermost part of White Rock City, called Blackwater. In Bird's mind, this is just a small village, and it is not very active on weekdays. But now......... It's a different place entirely. In the distance, you can see a circle of tall, more than ten meters high city walls, and mixed with the sound of the wind, you can vaguely hear the sound of people shouting, you don't need to listen to Bird to guess that these people are building the city wall, but ......... How did they do it?
Looking at the tall walls in the distance, blurred in the wind and snow, Bird was also shocked. It's not that he doubts that White Rock City won't build walls, but that building the walls itself is a very hard job, requiring a lot of resources and manpower. First of all, the quarry itself is a very dangerous job, and if you don't do it well, you can kill people. Even the country of the Golden Eagle did not dare to force its citizens to work in the quarries. Generally, only convicts and prisoners of war, as well as slaves, were sent there. In this way, the efficiency can be imagined, and the civilization of this era is not developed, and the big stones are either transported by horse-drawn carts or carried by people, all in all, the efficiency is not high, and the speed is also slow. This is also the reason why the "country" here generally only has a wall in the "main city", and the other places basically take the meaning of wooden fences. In fact, with the current productivity and progress, it is not enough to repair and increase the walls of the main city, who cares about the life and death of those remote villages and towns?
But right now, Bird was shocked to see such a tall wall in such a small place as Blackwater.
That damn envoy, why didn't he tell him about it?
Bird was sure that the envoy had never reported to King Fix that Blackwater had built walls. Otherwise, if they knew the news, no matter how confident they were in their army, they would not have sent troops to attack White Rock City so quickly. After all, there is a completely different fight between having walls and not having walls.
But......... Even if the envoy is a fool, is General Hussite also crazy? Bird was puzzled, Blackwater Town was the gateway to White Rock City, and the army of the Golden Eagle Country would definitely have to pass through Blackwater Town if they wanted to attack White Rock City, so how could General Huss not find out about this? If he finds out, he will at least send someone to inform the rear.
Could it be that the walls were built after the defeat of the Hussites?
As soon as this thought came to Bird's mind, he was startled, what a joke! It is the city wall of the Golden Eagle Country, it has been built for several years before it has been added to the current height, and the city wall of Blackwater Town is going to be built, even if it is built from the beginning of the year to the present, it is impossible to be so fast!!
What's going on here?
Just when Bird was completely confused, he had followed the two girls to a strange building in a clearing on the edge of Blackwater, which at first glance looked like a large oval tent. But soon Bird saw the staircase leading down to what appeared to be an underground passage. And one of the two girls also gestured to him, and then walked down on his own.
Where is this?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bird's curiosity came up at this moment. He also gathered his thoughts, and hurriedly followed the two girls down the steps.
But the further down he went, the more surprised Bird became. Because he found out that it was not illuminated by torches!!
On both sides of the white, neat road, round lampposts embedded in the walls that look a little like jewels emit a soft white glow, illuminating the otherwise dark road in front of you. And looking at all this in front of him, Bird's eyes widened in surprise, he dared to vouch for his life, he had never seen such a scene!! Look at this wide staircase, even more beautiful than the staircase of the Golden Eagle King's Palace, neat, smooth. And the gems set on the walls on both sides were unheard of. He was like a monkey who had walked into modern society, staring left and right with wide eyes. It wasn't until they reached the bottom that soon the two girls had turned a corner, and then went to the other side—and then Bird saw that in front of them, a door was being shut.
How do I open this?
Looking at the door in front of him, Bird was also curious. Like everything Bird saw here, the gate itself looked so thick and massive that it almost reached the gates of the royal palace in the Land of the Golden Eagle. In order to resist foreign invasions, the gate was made of heavy solid wood-clad iron, and it took several soldiers to push it open each time. And now this door looks even more exaggerated -- it's still stone!?
How do I open this?
And just as Bird was wondering, he saw one of the maidens take out a thin, card-like object, and place it on a blue slate beside the door.
Then the next moment, I only heard a soft sound of "swish", and the door in front of the two of them automatically slid open!!
At this moment, Bird's mouth was almost wide enough to swallow a light bulb, and he stared at the scene in disbelief as he stared at the scene in front of him, not understanding how this was done. He has never seen a door that he can open and close by himself!!
Bird couldn't even remember how he had followed the two of them in a daze, and he was ashamed to say that as a royal agent, he was no different from a mentally handicapped child. He followed the two maidens like a puppet, and then came to an empty stone platform. As before, Bird had no idea what it was for. All he could see was the two sides of what looked like huge underground passages that had been dug out......... Could it be that these people live underground?
Soon, however, he saw the girl take out the little card and shake it to one of the pillars on the edge of the stone platform.
And the next moment, Bird almost jumped in surprise!
In front of him, a rectangular white box that looked about the size of a house quietly "floated" over and stopped in front of them.
How is this possible? What is this? Is this a car? But why don't you see a cart pulled by livestock? Also, this thing doesn't have wheels, how does it run? And why is there no sound at all!!
Staring blankly at the white box in front of him, Bird only felt that his brain was completely confused. (To be continued.) )
