the last gentleman

Chapter 25



Chapter 25
With the deepening of the city of Zion

Yi Chen was more and more amazed at the amazing design of this city,
The [street area] that is currently in contact with is divided into upper, middle and lower floors.

Different floors are connected by elevators, side stairs and some corridors in the house.

It needs to be explained that the area entering from the main gate of the city wall corresponds to the upper block.

In other words, the middle and lower floors are embedded in the mountain.

in addition,

Because the block is divided into three layers,
There are large ground seams and intervals on the ground of the upper and middle floors, which are connected by circular arch bridges.

Residential buildings in the street area are still dominated by Gothic style, with tall and thin spires, clear vertical features, vertical long windows, etc., dark and depressing.

Some buildings have obvious stacking characteristics, from the lower floor to the upper floor.

in addition,

Most of the streets are poorly designed,

Does not have the characteristics of convenient access,
Iron gates are even set up at some corners and converging points, giving people a sense of confusion and deliberate division.

and,

There is no clear main road in the whole street area, it is more like a multi-layer nonlinear maze,

Occasionally, a winding path will suddenly appear between the humble houses and buildings, which may directly reach the other end of the street, saving a few 10 minutes of travel time compared to other paths.

While observing the complicated streets, Yi Chen gave relevant analysis.

"I guess there are two reasons for such a street design.

1. This city is not a tourist area, it is only open to people inside the organization.

No matter how complicated the street structure is, as long as the insiders are familiar enough, it will be fine~even more convenient at certain times.

2. If one day, the disease spreads to the whole world and even touches Zion.

Crossing the city wall leads to infection in the street area, and such a complex structure can be used for effective and rapid zonal isolation. 』

in addition,

With the enhancement of the senses,

Yi Chen found that these people living in the street area have light steps, concise movements, and elegant manners, and even some details are full of strength.

Their dress is also very particular, and even every detail can stand the attention.

"The human beings who can live in Zion must have successfully passed the basic examination... Even the most ordinary residents may be much better than us. 』

Walking through the undulating streets,
Yi Chen also noticed many secret shops, without any brand name, but obviously doing some business.

In addition, some streets and paths were closed and guarded by men in gentlemanly attire for unknown reasons.

He also found that

Some gentlemen walking on the street also seem to be carrying relatively special [pets].

Except for normal pets such as parrots and cats,

There are also small things that can be labeled monsters, such as a chained 'dog' with a chrysanthemum-shaped mouth and no other features, or a large spider with human legs and feet.

There is also a relatively mysterious pet shop in the street. Although the door is closed, strange calls can be heard from it.

It's no wonder that when Yi Chen met the other examiners with the little grape on his shoulder, everyone wasn't too surprised.

Want to come in the organization,

It is very common for gentlemen to bring pets to assist in combat.

【half an hour】

Everyone followed Mr. Jeff who led the way,
When walking on a stone arch bridge connecting the opposite street, a strangely dressed individual walked across the bridge.

Wearing the most iconic beak mask of a medieval doctor,

The leather material used for the mask is very special, and the star phantom scars flowing in it are faintly visible.

At the same time, metal eye sockets and nose parts are fitted.

Mysterious and noble.

however,
In addition to wearing a bird's beak mask, this person actually wore a white coat that symbolized modern medicine and walked barefoot.

Such an image naturally reminds Yi Chen of a profession - [doctor].

Mr. Jeff, who was leading the way, took off his hat and saluted as a gentleman when he saw this person.

The accompanying examiners also stopped and bowed.

however.

When the mysterious doctor passed by the crowd, he stopped suddenly.

tilted head,

The metal eye sockets on the beak mask are staring at Yi Chen at the end of the team,
Eerie, even viscous words leaked out from between the breathing plugs:

"Death (death)... there is a thin but real breath of death flowing from your body, where did it come from?"

Yi Chen stabilized his mind and replied in a low voice: "I come from the cemetery in the small town of Easton, and I have been working in the cemetery before."

"Just working in the cemetery, you won't let death flow in your body... What's your name?"

"William Behrens."

After the mysterious doctor got the name, he said nothing more, turned and left.

After this conversation,
Including Mr. Jeff who led the way, everyone cast their eyes on Yi Chen.

The blond-haired Edmund even put his shoulders directly,

"Wow! Mr. William, you actually got [the doctor]'s attention... This kind of situation is very rare, you really deserve it."

the word doctor,

Let Yi Chen immediately think of the organization name G&D, and doctor is one of the important constituent words.

He did not continue to pretend to understand, and tried to ask:

"My life in the cemetery is basically isolated from the outside world. I don't know the meaning of the so-called "doctor". Can you explain it?"

"Gentleman & Doctor,
The simple explanation is this,

A gentleman refers to spiritual cleanliness, to eliminate and eradicate the negative spirit caused by the sickness of the world, and to always self-examine to ensure the perfection and cleanliness of human nature.

Doctors refer to the cleansing of the body, using the most intuitive means to use 'medical equipment' to eliminate the root causes of diseases all over the world.

between organizations,
All the gentlemen who can be awarded the "doctor's certificate" are the real powerhouses who cut off the root of the disease.

Of course, there are also some of them who are proficient in healing diseases and injuries. As long as they are not completely dead, even if half of their feet have stepped into the Styx, they can be brought back for you.

All in all it is very powerful.

Come on, with William, your talent may one day become a doctor. "

"Thank you."

"We are in the same class, so we need to take care of each other in the future."

After some chatting, the walk continued.

The area of ​​[Zion City] is not too large, but it is not easy to really explore every corner.

After about an hour and a half of walking,
Street buildings gradually become sparse.
The winding streets and paths gradually widen and straighten, turning into a clear main road,
There are exaggerated "gargoyle street lamps" on both sides of the road - the sculptures of gargoyles are about five meters high, and they all hold a white light emitting eternal kerosene lamp in their hands.

At the end of the main road, there is a [Black Bridge],
wide, straight and lengthy,
It is completely different from the previous circular arch bridge, and the specifications are not at the same level.

The bridge deck is still covered with a layer of fog.

Obviously,

This bridge belongs to the "divider" that separates the street area, and the other end may connect an important area of ​​​​Zion.

The black bridge spanning nearly a kilometer,

The bridge gates are already open.

A huge mansion in the style of an ancient castle stands in it,

The surface of the large rough stone blocks used to construct the wall actually gives people a visual impression between the stone surface and the skin.

When Yi Chen stared at this leather-like mansion building,

Heart palpitations arose spontaneously, and for a moment he was reminded of the abyss of fish scales that his consciousness had been to... There seemed to be some secret similarities between the two.

Or a sense of antiquity,

An ultimate ancient far beyond Yi Chen's comprehension.

"Is this the "Shenpi Mansion"? "

 The reason for the slow pace here is mainly to introduce the peculiar structure and architectural style of Zion City in detail, so that everyone can have a stronger sense of entering the city... It took a lot of time to learn this city introduction (crying voice)
