Chapter 44: The Princess Who Doubts Her Life
【ps: Today is the fourth update】
“We’re here. Um, I accidentally shot your horse to death. I’m sorry. My name is Jerry. What’s your name?”
The armored truck arrived outside Los City. Jerry got out of the car and said to the knight who was still in the car in a confused state of thinking.
“Ah, my name is Coleman.”
Coleman reacted and said to Jerry.
Then he hurriedly called out:”Your Highness, is she okay?”
He accidentally forgot about Caroline on the way just now.
“I’m fine…..”
Caroline was riding on a horse beside her.
“I’ll help you get off the horse.”
Coman quickly helped Caroline off the horse.
After riding the horse for a whole day, not only Caroline’s legs were weak, but even the warhorse was out of breath. With a thud, its two front hooves fell to the ground. They were too tired.
“Come with me, I will arrange accommodation for you first, and then we will go to see His Majesty the King.”
Jerry took off the iron mask under his helmet and said to the two of them.
“Yeah.”
Coman supported Caroline and nodded.
���At the city gate, some soldiers guarding the city and passers-by were looking at the two men in full body armor with great curiosity.
Now there are no people wearing full body armor in Los, whether it is fighting or anything else, it affects mobility.
Coman stepped on the cement road on the ground, with curiosity in his eyes:”What a smooth road, even the capital of Qisi doesn’t have such a road.”
Generally, the ground in the city is paved with stones, which is also hard, but uneven, and it is impossible to be as smooth as cement roads.
Now Coman is sitting in the car and can’t see the road. Now that he got out of the car, he realized the magic of the cement road. It is extremely flat and hard, and there is not even a trace of gap, which makes Caroline and Coman feel very magical.
And looking around, such a road actually winds out for several miles, and there is no end in sight.
“Let’s go into the city and I’ll take you to make arrangements.”
Jerry and several soldiers led Coman and Caroline into the city.
It was just afternoon and the sun was still shining in the sky.
“”Barbecue, teppanyaki barbecue!”
Coman and Caroline followed Jerry through the street. They both stared at the vendor who was selling it, asking about the strange aroma. They felt that their saliva was about to flow down.
But no one of them spoke. One was a princess of noble status, and the other was a knight. They were both from the aristocracy, and now they were guests, so it was not easy to speak.
Although they were almost starving to death, they still maintained a certain politeness and did not take the initiative to speak.
So they could only find other things to attract their attention.
There was no garbage on the street, no feces on the edge of the road, and no corners. They moved their noses gently, but could not smell any unpleasant odors, and could even smell strange aromas.
This extremely clean city also reflects the power of the Kingdom of Los. Caroline thought to herself that only the king of the Gutongs Alliance Empire could compare with it.
Damn, I smelled the barbecue aroma again!
The two of them supported themselves and followed Jerry through one street after another.
“”Your Highness, look, are those electric lights?”
Coman pointed at the light bulbs and other things hanging all over the street and asked in surprise.
He had been paying attention to those electric lights along the way, but now it was daylight and the lights were not on. He couldn’t help but ask until now.
“Really, they are really electric lights.”
Caroline looked at the electric lights hanging all over the street in disbelief.
She bought this kind of electric light last month. It was very expensive, one sold for 900 gold coins, and there were also matching battery energy and other things.
This kind of thing has just appeared. In the previous Qisi Kingdom, only nobles could have it. Unexpectedly, it can be seen everywhere in Los City now!
And the people didn’t seem surprised at all, obviously they were used to it!
Especially Caroline, she came to Los City with her father a few years ago. At that time, Los City was no different from other cities ruled by nobles. Although it was the capital, the streets were dirty, messy and poor.
And now Los City is like a world-shaking difference from before.
Everyone is happy and prosperous, the streets are very clean, and even electric lights, which can be compared to magic creations, are hung all over the streets and can be seen everywhere!
It even made Caroline wonder if she had arrived in the Central Region, entered the capital of the Central Magic Empire, or a big city!
“There is construction going on ahead, let’s go around.”
At this time, Jerry turned around and said to them
“Construction?”
Caroline looked over there curiously, and this glance made her freeze.
She saw that the whole street ahead was under construction.
More than a dozen buildings more than ten stories high already had frames and prototypes. Coman and Caroline stood outside the construction site in amazement. They seemed to be under a spell of immobilization and could not move. Even their expressions did not change, which was shock. They kept looking up, watching the street in front of them being built, and they had never seen a tall building in their lives.
In this era, only castles were five or six meters, seven or eight meters high.
However, this kind of castle could only be built by nobles, and most of them were only four or five meters high. Only kings and the like could afford to build castles seven or eight meters high.
And now looking at the frames of the buildings being built on this entire street, there was no building less than twenty meters high!
The lowest one was also a four or five-story building, about ten stories, and there were several buildings with a height of forty or fifty meters.
The tallest one had twenty stories, and the height was more than seventy meters!
(ps: You may not have an idea of how high it is when I say 70 meters. For example, you have seen Ultraman Tiga, right? He is 120 meters tall at his maximum height. You can imagine a 70-meter-high building.)
If it is placed in modern times, 70-meter-high buildings can be seen everywhere, but in this era when the largest mortal castle will not exceed 20 meters in height, this is an extremely huge feat!
And the 20-story building is also the administrative building of the Kingdom of Los that Guyuan is building.
It is the main building of the capital city of Los. Caroline, who came to Los a few years ago, naturally knows how much Los has changed. It can be said to be the difference between heaven and hell.
Caroline has seen Guyuan since she was a child, but she never knew that Guyuan was so capable as a king.
At the same time, this also made Caroline very curious about what Guyuan is like now, and a feeling from her distant childhood rose again in Caroline’s heart.
