Chapter 178 177. Portal of Transmission
When registering, Suldak casually glanced at the account book, and found that the low-level ordinary single room in the Wind Song Hotel was priced at seven silver coins a night. If it was a top-floor aristocratic luxury view room, it would start at least one gold coin. The price gap is indeed very big. I only need to spend fourteen silver coins to stay here for two nights. If it is Handanal City, the money should be able to allow me to live in the 'Maple Pudding' hotel. It's been a week.
The hotel waiter led Suerdak up to the second floor of the hotel. The magnificent revolving staircase was covered with thick velvet carpets. The entire hall was resplendent and resplendent. Even the handrails of the stairs were covered with golden patterns, and the surrounding walls were covered with cloth. It is full of exquisite murals, and the lower left corner of those murals is marked with the scenery of a certain area on the Warsaw plane.
Suldak even saw the entire outline of the Ganda Er Mountains from a mural, like a huge lizard dormant in a tributary of the water.
The room is in the innermost corner of the second floor of the hotel. After the waiter opened the door of the hotel, the decoration inside the room is also very gorgeous. The only drawback is that it is a bit small. Apart from the simple washroom, the room can only fit a big bed , but there is a protruding balcony on the other side of the big bed, with a rattan table and wooden chairs on it. In addition to a set of exquisite ceramic tea sets, there is also a simple copper-covered parchment book on the table.
The railing outside the balcony is full of flower pots, in which many golden ornamental sunflowers are planted.
A very chic room. Before Suldak entered the room, a waiter caught up and gave Suldak a bronze medal. Only with this bronze medal can hotel guests go to the stables in the backyard of the hotel to take away the foster horses there. .
Suldak handed a stack of copper plates to the two waiters respectively, the waiters readily accepted, and then happily left.
No matter where it is, it is necessary to tip the waiter, and the amount seems to be about the same.
Suldak took off his dusty leather armor and leather boots in the room, and only wore a linen shirt and shorts. Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, the central square of the city hall appeared in front of him.
In the center of the square stands a huge gate-shaped building. The gate looks a bit like a triumphal arch, but it looks taller overall. The frame of the whole building seems to be at least 40 meters high. If it is more specific, it looks like The height of a twelve-story residential building is about the same, and the whole building exudes a majestic magical atmosphere. There is a huge magic vortex in the huge semicircular arch, and a large amount of magic power is sucked into the void along the vortex.
The main body of the portal is made of huge stones. The surface of the wall is covered with grooves of magic runes, and magic red copper is poured into the grooves. For such a huge portal, all the red copper lines on the door are now The magic halo lit up.
Suldak could even clearly feel that the countless fragments of mana floating in the square were all attracted by the huge vortex of the portal while they were constantly fluttering. Countless mana gathered in the portal and stopped in the distance Waiting and watching will make people feel a kind of tremor in their hearts.
A group of cavalry warriors are riding out from the portal. They are dressed in black armor, with black knight spears hanging on their saddles. The whole team came out of the portal silently. Back to the zigzag passage, slowly walk into the city hall square.
A heavy cavalry regiment came out of the portal, and then transported a large amount of strategic materials from the portal. I couldn't see what it was, only oak barrels. These barrels looked like It was extremely heavy, hit some flatbed vehicles, and was pushed out of the portal by a group of infantry soldiers. Without stopping, they quickly left the Civic Center Square directly along the dedicated passage.
Many citizens of Epsom gathered outside the fence of the City Hall Square. These people saluted with big and small packages around them. The crowds in line almost blocked the streets in all directions of the square. A grand gathering of thousands of people.
Not long after that, the melodious bell was finally heard in the square, and the citizens waiting outside the fence began to commotion. Everyone picked up the salutes around them and began to slowly rush towards the portal along the back-shaped passage. .
And those who came out of the teleportation gate, there were no soldiers coming out of it. Nearly a hundred tax officials stood in the passage of the square, waiting for the citizens who poured in from outside the square. And make a certain amount of valuation according to the salute you carry, and extract one-tenth of the total tax from the citizens
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a group of nobles walked into the square from the other side. They didn't seem to be in a hurry. Some people in the crowd were even whispering and joking. The attendants followed the nobles with some simple luggage. The group of nobles When passing by the guards, he just nodded slightly to them without any communication, and then passed through the portal, and the attendants followed closely behind.
Then a group of young swordsman academy students came over. They lined up neatly and passed through the portal in an orderly manner. There were almost two hundred students in this group. Suldak observed carefully It took a long time to find two female swordsmen, Hathaway and Beatrice, in the crowd. Their eyes were obviously attracted by the huge portal, and they had been staring at the magic vortex inside the gate.
The two young female swordsmen were not too conspicuous among the crowd of college students. Hathaway's beautiful face was almost expressionless. It was only at the moment before walking into the portal that she finally turned her head towards He took a deep look in the direction of Handanal County.
Beatrice was a little melancholy, but also a little excited. She was crying and laughing at the same time, making it hard to understand what was going on in her heart...
After the group of college students passed through the portal, some little nobles passed through the portal one after another.
In the end, it was the ordinary citizens who were waiting in the passage holding the teleportation pass. In addition to being eligible for teleportation, they also had to pay a certain tax on the goods they carried with them before they could leave Epsom City. Looking at the long queue in front of them The same team, Suldak also took a deep breath.
He didn't expect that the teleportation gate would be so popular, and the citizens waiting for the teleportation every day were actually crowded.
It seems that it is necessary to line up in the square early, otherwise I don’t know if those people in the back line can pass tonight...
Suldak sat barefoot on the recliner, poured himself a cup of tea, took out an oilcloth, dipped it in some animal fat, and wiped the set of monster leather armor and boots carefully, Handanar The owner of the leather shop in the city is very honest. This set of monster leather armor has been repaired very well. After wiping with grease, the slight scratches on the leather armor originally left during the battle disappeared.
The starry sky is almost invisible in the city of Epsom, perhaps because of the gray clouds above the city. Only the brightest stars in the night sky are shining dimly...
