It took some time for the carriage to arrive at Diosi Square.
When the two came down, Lulunaka asked about the riders.
She was just casually asking, but she didn't expect the Coachman to know something about it.
"Those people should be the subordinates of Prince Orhan."
The Coachman said, "They are the only people from the New Moon who can be so arrogant in the King's Castle."
When he said this, the Coachman had a mocking smile on his face. It seemed like he didn't have a good impression of those people.
"Prince Orhan?" Julius asked.
"You don't know?"
The Coachman looked a little surprised, "It seems like you just came to the King's Castle. You don't even know the brother of the New Moon's Emperor, Orhan. He is a famous person here."
The brother of the Emperor Of The New Moon, this name sounded very scary. At least, Julius was scared.
As for Lulunaka, she squinted her eyes and looked like a curious baby. She continued to ask, "Why would the brother of the Crescent Empire's Emperor appear in the King's Castle?"
The Coachman laughed a few times, and the mocking tone became stronger, "He is a prince, but he can't go back to his country. He can only hide in the King's Castle and be protected.
If it wasn't for the King's Castle, he would have been killed by the New Moon's Emperor. "
Speaking of this, the Coachman showed a proud expression, "This is all because of our Emperor's ability. The Crescent Empire didn't dare to reach their evil hands into the city blessed by the gods."
The smile on Lulunaka's face became even more brilliant, "What an amazing Emperor."
The Coachman nodded. Lulunaka's words seemed to make him very happy, "Our Emperor Quentin VIII isn't young anymore, but compared to the old Emperor of the Crescent Empire, he is still far from entering the coffin.
As long as the old Emperor dies and the young Emperor ascends to power, the Double Eagle Empire's days will only be better than before! "
Lulunaka blinked, her eyes sparkling like a curious baby. "Will our days get better?"
Coachman paused, as if he didn't know how to answer. In fact, what he said just now was just a mixture of what he heard when he was drinking and bragging with others.
In the end, Coachman only said one sentence in response, "I think it will get better!"
Coachman drove his carriage away, leaving Lulunaka and Julius behind.
"Will it get better?"
Lulunaka waved at the departing carriage with a smile on her face. "What a beautiful wish … I hope it can come true, kind person."
"Their days are already good enough, right?" Julius said, "Why do they want to live a better life?"
"People are always greedy. If they have copper coins, they hope to have silver coins. If they have silver coins, they will chase after gold coins." Lulunaka said, "Besides, do you think they are living a good life now?
That's just the thought of a child in your village.
Compared to the past, their lives now can be said to be worse than pigs and dogs. "
"Their lives were better before?"
Julius was a little incredulous. For him, living in a place like the King's Castle was already a happy thing.
There were magnificent walls protecting the city, and it was surrounded by the sea on three sides. Caravans and ships from all directions transported goods here … This was a rich city.
Lulunaka did not answer Julius's question. She walked forward, and Julius followed her.
The two were now in the Diosi Square, where there were several marble pillars. When Julius approached, he found that even if there were four of him, he might not be able to hug these pillars. Moreover, these pillars were very high. When standing below and looking up, these pillars seemed to go straight into the deepest part of the sky.
There were many moving stalls in this square.
Those caravans were parked on the side, and the goods were either placed on the ground or listed on the outside of the caravan. This was a simple shop.
In addition to these caravans, there were some people who looked like bards playing. At their feet were the hats that they should wear on their heads.
Occasionally, pedestrians would stop to listen for a while, but most people were not interested.
Travelers from other parts of the world might be interested in the performance of minstrels, but to the inhabitants of this city, where hundreds, if not thousands, of people played every day, the novelty had long since worn out, and they regarded it as an ordinary routine.
When Julius was amazed by the towering pillar, Lulunaka put her hand on the surface of the pillar and stroked it carefully.
"All the carvings are gone, what a waste …" She looked a little regretful. Julius could not understand what she was regretting. He only saw a big smooth pillar.
"There's nothing on it," he said.
"Of course there's nothing, because it's all destroyed." Lulunaka said.
Julius also went up and reached out to touch the surface of the pillar.
Except for some dents, there were not many traces of man-made destruction. "But it's intact." He said.
"For you, of course it's intact." Lulunaka said, "But for me, this pillar is destroyed.
There should have been carvings on its surface, but because it was burned, these carvings are gone. Then a layer of white powder was brushed on it to make it look intact. "
Lulunaka sighed, "I'm really deceiving myself … I can only deceive fools like you and those who know clearly but are willing to be fools."
Lulunaka looked at Julius, "You don't believe me?
Then there's a way to prove my words. "
She handed her knife to Julius, "Cut off the powder on the surface and see what color it is inside."
"Are you crazy?"
Julius looked around and was relieved when he found that no one was paying attention to them. "Won't you be warned for doing this kind of thing?" He whispered to Lulunaka.
"Who would care about this kind of pillar that is useless except for its height and thickness?
You're too timid. "
Lulunaka laughed, "Not to mention the residents of this city, I think even the guards are not interested in paying attention to us." She said so and looked at the guards standing on the other side.
The guards with halberds looked listless, perhaps they really were not interested in paying attention to them.
But this was not the reason why Julius took the knife and messed around with this amazing pillar.
He did not take Lulunaka's knife.
Lulunaka took back the knife, "Forget it, I'm just teasing you. If you really do that, then you're really as stupid as a child."
Julius was very glad that he did not listen to Lulunaka's nonsense and really did it. It seemed that if he really did that, Lulunaka would definitely mock him as usual.
Lulunaka continued to look at the pillar, "Hey … in the past, you probably wouldn't even have the chance to get close to this pillar.
At that time, there were not only carvings on it, but also luxurious decorations.
Gold leaf covered the surface of the pillar, and snake-shaped gold tools were tightly wrapped around the pillar. The four snake heads were at the top of the pillar, each facing one direction … "
Julius listened to Lulunaka's narration and brought what she said to the pillar.
In his poor imagination, the pillar became more luxurious and dazzling in gold, and the four snake heads left a deep impression. At the same time, it reminded him of some things from the past.
"There are also snakes on that broken sword." Julius said.
"They are essentially the same thing." Lulunaka said, "The small snake protects the sword hilt, the big snake protects the pillar.
At the top, there used to be a scepter that represented the imperial power, but where is that thing now? "
Julius looked up, the top of the pillar was empty, there was nothing.
"The scepter is no longer there, the snake has turned into a dragon."
Lurunaka said, "All that's left is an empty pillar that's been painted new. He thinks he can forget the past … How pitiful."
