Julius was awoken from his drowsiness.
No one woke him up. He was woken up by the noise around him.
When he woke up, the sun was shining on his cheeks, but it was not enough to burn his skin.
He became drowsy after eating at noon. Because of the tiredness after filling his stomach and the sleepiness brought by the warm sunlight, he opened and closed his eyes dozens of times. In the end, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and directly lay down and fell asleep.
Because Lulunaka did not fiddle with her alchemy cauldron these days, the skylight on the roof was closed. This allowed Julius to sleep soundly without any worries of accidentally falling into the cauldron and being cooked. Moreover, no one came to disturb him. Ward was also a master of sleeping in and did not complain to his master.
When Julius raised his head, although the sun was not as strong as it was at noon, it still made his eyes squint into a line.
After adapting to the sunlight, his eyes slowly opened and he could finally see things in front of him.
He raised his head and looked forward. He rubbed his eyes hard and felt that he might still be in a dream and had not woken up.
But no matter how long he rubbed his eyes, even if he pulled his face hard, he did not wake up from the dream.
Since this was not a dream, then everything in front of him should be real.
The city wall that occupied half of the sky connected together and blocked most of Julius's vision.
This was a scene that Julius had never seen before. The greyish black city wall stretched from east to west and there was no end in sight.
The Ingenious was still far away from the city wall, but Julius already had to raise his head to look at this thing that he had never seen before.
It was too long, too tall, and looked like a giant lying on the ground. The giant's body was elongated and became a deformed existence. But if it was a section of the city wall, then it could be said to be grand.
Perhaps even the praise of grand was not worthy of such an existence.
It was like a giant lying on its side, but also like a dragon entrenched on the ground.
In Julius's vision, there was not only the city wall, but also the people who were moving towards the city wall.
People on foot, people on horseback, people driving carriages, they were all rushing in that direction.
People were like countless small droplets, gathering in the "pool" in front of them.
Julius was woken up by the noise brought by so many people.
The shouts of people, the neighs of horses, the sound of wheels, and even the cries of babies, whispered prayers … The sounds far away and the sounds close by were all transmitted to Julius.
Julius climbed down from the roof of the carriage, walked on the road and trotted to the driver's seat.
The speed of the Ingenious was very slow. Even if he landed, he would not be left behind.
Pasta was waving his whip to drive the two horses in front. Lulunaka was sitting beside him with her head lowered. She held a small knife in her hand and was cutting a small piece of wood that could be held with one hand. The wood had been cut into a rough outline, looking like the shape of a person.
She was so focused that she did not seem to notice Julius beside her.
"Where are we now?" Julius asked the two of them as he followed them.
Lulunaka finally noticed that there was someone beside her. She raised her head and the small knife in her hand stopped.
"I thought you would only wake up when it's dinner time. What disturbed your beautiful dream?"
Although Lulunaka mocked him for being a pig who only knew how to eat and sleep, Julius did not feel angry at all. He was more concerned about something.
"Where are we now?" He repeated his words, looking like he would not stop until he got an answer.
Lulunaka did not look at Julius again. She lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the small toy in her hand. The wood had been cut into a rough shape by her. She only needed to polish it carefully.
"Where else can we be, you idiot.
We are now outside the walls of the King's Castle. "
Julius blinked. Although he heard Lulunaka's words, he still did not dare to believe that he actually came to the legendary city that he had only heard of from others. The King's Castle.
How famous was the King's Castle?
In myths, it was built by the gods. In heroes' stories, they were the masters and conquerors of the city. In amazing stories, it was the background of the story.
This name was too famous. Even if Julius lived in a different country — in fact, he was a citizen of the Crescent Empire — even if Julius was only a child in a village, he had also heard of the King's Castle.
And now, Julius finally came in front of this legend, and he only saw a section of the wall that he could not see the end of. How big was this place?
Was it dozens of times bigger than the village he lived in, or hundreds of times, or even thousands of times bigger?
He had already lost the concept. Even if it was just a section of the wall in front of him, it was enough to put a village on top of it.
Julius raised his head and looked at the towering wall in front of him. After looking at it for a long time, his eyes felt a little dizzy.
"This is the King's Castle …" He muttered to himself.
The Ingenious followed the crowd and team in front, and they had already arrived in front of the city gate.
In front of the Ingenious, there was a long queue waiting to enter the city.
While Julius was in a daze beside the Ingenious, Lulunaka said to Pasta, "Which gate are we at now?"
"Saint Roman Gate." Pasta replied.
Lulunaka frowned, "Saint Roman Gate?
I have never heard of it. Is it a newly built gate? "
"This gate was built a long time ago. I thought you knew a lot about the King's Castle." Pasta said.
Lulunaka tapped her forehead with her finger, "Let me think … No, I have no impression.
Which military gate is next to it? "
Pasta thought for a while before answering Lulunaka's question, "If I remember correctly, it is the fourth military gate."
"Next to the fourth military gate, it should be Saint Roman Gate and Lizim Gate."
"If the Saint Roman Gate and Saint Roman Gate you are talking about are the same thing, then it should be correct."
Lulunaka frowned and looked like she was in deep thought, "Did I remember wrongly … When was the name of this gate changed? My memory is not good. I almost forgot about the past."
Pasta felt that this was not a problem of bad memory.
But the difference between Saint Roman and Saint Roman, he kept it in his heart.
In these few hundred years, this gate was called Saint Roman. He had never heard of Saint Roman. Did she say it wrongly on purpose, or did this name really exist?
If the name Saint Romanus had existed before, then when was it?
Pasta didn't know if he was just imagining things, but he couldn't concentrate because of it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lulunaka seemed to see through Pasta's mind. The smiling expression on her face made Pasta a little difficult to adapt, "Are you thinking about what is going on with Saint Roman and Saint Roman?"
"I am a little curious." Pasta honestly replied.
"Then you have to prepare hundreds of theological books to explain this troublesome matter. Oh right, there is also the secret history of the royal family."
Lulunaka counted with her fingers, then spread out her hands and continued to say, "I hate this kind of boring thing. Forget it, maybe you can find a knowledgeable old cultivator to understand it?"
"Then forget it."
Pasta did not want to look for trouble. If he wanted to return to this King's Castle again, he might have enough trouble.
"For you and me, this is a good thing."
Lulunaka said, then turned to look at Julius, who was in a daze, "Don't look at it foolishly, get in the car."
Julius came back to his senses and quickly climbed into the driver's seat.
Lulunaka lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the human-shaped wood in her hand, "Let's go to the city."
