Juliana’s workshop Chapter 39: The King’s Castle


   Julius was awakened when he was drowsy. No one awakened him, he was awakened by the noise around him. When he woke up, the sun burned his cheeks, but it didn’t hurt his skin. He became drowsy after eating at noon, because the tiredness after filling his stomach and the sleepiness caused by the warm sunlight caused his eyes to open and close dozens of times, and finally failed to resist the sandman. , Lay down and fell asleep. Because Lulunaka hasn’t fiddled with her alchemy cauldron these days, the skylight on the roof of the shed is closed, which frees Julius from worrying about accidentally falling and being boiled, and sleeps very peacefully, and No one came to bother him, and Ward beside him was the lord who slept in, and would never go to his owner to complain.

   When Julius raised his head, although the sun was not as violent as it was at noon, it still narrowed his eyes. After adjusting to the sunlight, his eyes slowly opened, and finally he could see clearly what was in front of him.

   He raised his head, looked forward, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to feel that he might still be in a dream now, not waking up. But no matter how long he rubbed his eyes, even if he pulled his face hard, he didn’t wake up from his dream. Since this is not a dream, everything in front of you should be real.

  The city wall that occupies half of the sky became one piece, blocking most of Julius’s vision. This is a picture that Julius has never seen before. The gray-black city wall runs from east to west, with no end in sight. Whimsy was still far from the city wall, but Julius already needed to raise his head to look up at something he had never seen before. It is too long and too high, it looks like a giant lying on the ground on its side, and the body of this giant is elongated and turned into a deformed existence-but if it is a section of the city wall, then this can be said It’s magnificent. Maybe even the compliment of Majesty is not worthy of such existence.

   It is like a giant lying on its side, and like a giant dragon entrenched on the ground.

  In Julius’s line of sight, not only the city wall, but also the people walking towards the city wall. People on foot, people riding horses, people driving carriages, are all rushing in that direction. People are like countless small water droplets, gathering in the “water pool” ahead. Julius was awakened by the noise caused by so many people. The yelling of people, the neighing of horses, the sound of wheels turning, and even the crying of babies, the whispering prayers… the voices that are far away, the voices that are close, are all going to Julius’ side. Pass it over.

   Julius climbed down from the top of the carriage shed, walked on the road, and trot to the driver’s seat. The forward speed of the Whimsy was very slow, even if he landed on the side, he would not be left behind. Pasta was swinging his whip to drive the two horses in front of him, while Lulunaka was sitting next to him, head down, holding a small knife in his hand, and cutting a small piece of wood that could be held in one hand. The wood had been cut. Out of a rough outline, it looks like a person’s shape. She was very focused and didn’t seem to notice Julius next to her.

   “Where are we now?” Julius followed and asked the two of them. Lulunaka finally found that there were more people around her, raised her head, and the knife in her hand stopped. “I thought you would wake up until dinner time. What disturbed your dreams?”

   Although Lulunaka ridiculed that he would only eat and sleep like a pig, Julius didn’t feel angry at all. He was more concerned about things now. “Where are we now?” He repeated what he said just now, as if he would not stop without an answer.

  Lulunaka didn’t look at Julius anymore, and continued to lower her head to play with the gadgets in her hand. The wood had been cut out of a rough shape by her, and she only had to polish it carefully. “Where else can it be, you idiot. We are now outside the walls of King’s Castle.”

   Julius blinked. Although he heard Lulunaka’s words, he still couldn’t believe that he had actually come to the legendary city, King’s Castle, which was only heard by others. How famous is King’s Castle? In mythological stories, it is built by gods; in heroic stories, they are the masters and conquerors of the city; in surprising stories, it is the background of the story.

The name    is so famous, even if Julius lives in a different country—in fact, he is a citizen of the Crescent Empire—even if Julius is just a child of a village, he has also heard of the reputation of King’s Castle.

   And now, Julius finally came to the front of this legend, and he only saw a section of the city wall with no end in sight. How big is this place? Was it dozens of times the size of the village he lived in, hundreds of times, or thousands of times? He has lost the concept of this, even the height of a section of the city wall in front of him is enough to put a village on it.

   Julius raised his head and looked at the towering city wall in front of him. After a long time, his eyes felt a little dizzy. “This is King’s Castle…” he muttered to himself.

  Wai Si Miao Xiang followed the crowd and team in front, and had come to the front of the city gate. In front of the Whimsy, there is still a long queue waiting to enter the city.

  While Julius was in a daze next to the Whimsy, Lulunaka said to Pasta, “Which door are we at now?”

   “The Gate of Saint Roman.” Pasta replied.

  Lulunaka frowned, “The Gate of Saint Roman? I haven’t heard of it. Is it a newly built gate?”

   “This is a city gate that existed a long time ago. I thought you knew the King’s Castle very well.” Pasta said.

   Lulunaka tapped her finger on her forehead, “Let me think…no, no impression. Which military door is next to it?”

   Pasta thought for a while before answering Lulunaka’s question, “If I remember correctly, it is the fourth military door.”

  ”Beside the Fourth Military Gate, there should be the Saint Romanus Gate and the Lizim Gate.”

   “If you said that the Saint Romanus Gate and the Saint Roman Gate are the same thing, then it should be correct.”

  Lulunaka frowned~IndoMTL.com~with a pensive look, “Is it because I remembered it wrong… When did the name of this city gate be changed? I have a bad memory, what happened before. I’m about to forget it.”

   Pasta thinks this is not a problem of poor memory. But the difference between Saint Romanus and Saint Romanus was still in his heart. In these hundreds of years, this city gate has been called Saint Romanus. She has never heard of Saint Romanus. Did she deliberately make a mistake, or did she really have such a name? If the name Saint Romanus ever existed, when did that happen?

   Pasta didn’t know if he was thinking about it, but it did make him a little unable to concentrate.

   “What are you thinking about?” Lulunaka seemed to see through Pasta’s thoughts. The smile on her face made Pasta a little difficult to adapt. “Are you thinking, Saint Romain and What is going on with Saint Romanus?”

   “A bit curious.” Pasta responded honestly.

   “Hundreds of theological books should be prepared to explain this troublesome thing, yes, and the secret history of the royal family.” Lulunaka stretched her hands to count, then spread her hands. Continue to say: “I hate this kind of boring thing, let’s forget it, maybe you can find an old monk who is knowledgeable to find out?”

   “Forget it.” Pasta didn’t want to ask for trouble. He might have enough trouble to return to the King’s Castle again.

  ”For you and me, this is a good thing.” Lulunaka said, then turned to look at Julius in a daze, “Don’t look dumbfounded, 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 play with the wood with a human profile in her hand, “Let’s go, go up town.”
