Juliana’s workshop Chapter 54: Diossi Square


It took some time for    the carriage to reach Diossi Square. When the two came down, Lulunaka asked about the riders. She just asked casually, but she didn’t expect the coachman to know something about it.

   “Those people belong to the Prince Ohan, right?” said the coachman, “the Crescent Moon people who can be so arrogant in the King’s Castle are the only ones.” When these words were said, the coachman’s face With a sarcasm smile, it seems that he doesn’t have any good feelings for those people.

   “Prince Ohan?” Julius asked.

   “Don’t you know?” The coachman looked a little surprised, “It seems that you are just coming to King’s Castle. You don’t even know the brother of the Emperor of the Crescent Moon, Ohan, that is a famous person here. .”

   The brother of Emperor Crescent Moon, this name does sound quite bluff, at least Julius was frightened. As for Lulu Naka, squinting her eyes, looking like a curious baby, she continued to ask: “Why did the brother of the emperor of the Crescent Empire appear in the King’s Fort?”

   The coachman chuckled a few times, and the taunting became stronger, “Speaking of a prince, in fact, he can’t return to his own country, so he can only shrink in the King’s Fort and be protected by others. If it weren’t because of the King’s Fort. , He was probably killed by the Emperor of Crescent a long time ago.” At this point, the coachman showed a proud expression, “It’s all because of our emperor’s ability, so that the Crescent Empire did not dare to stretch out their magical hands. To this city of the beloved.”

  Lulunaka’s smile is even brighter, “What a great emperor.”

   The coachman nodded. Lulunaka’s words seemed to make him very happy. “Our Emperor Queenstine VIII is not young anymore, but compared with the old emperor of the Crescent Empire, it’s still early to get into the coffin. Now. As long as the old emperor dies and the young emperor comes to power, the life of our Double Eagle Empire will only be better than before!”

  Lulunaka blinked, her eyes gleaming, she looked like a curious baby, “Will our days get better?”

   The coachman paused, as if he didn’t know how to answer. In fact, even what he said just now was just mixing up what he heard when he was drinking and bragging. In the end, the coachman just said one sentence in response: “I think it will be better!”

   The coachman drove his carriage and left, leaving Lulunaka and Julius behind.

  ”Will it get better?” Lulunaka waved at the carriage that was far away, with a smile on her face, “What a good wish… I hope this will come true, kindhearted person.”

   “They have a good enough life now, 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, and if they have silver coins, they will pursue gold coins.” Lulunaka said, “Besides, do you think they are living well now? That’s just the thoughts of the kids in your village. Compared with the past, their lives now can be said to be inferior to pigs and dogs.”

   “They used to be better?” Julius was a little unbelievable. For him, living in a place like King’s Castle is already a blessing. There is a magnificent city wall that protects the city. It is surrounded by sea on three sides. Caravans and merchant ships from all directions carry goods here… This is a rich city.

  Lulunaka didn’t answer Julius’ question, and walked forward, Julius followed her. The two of them are now in Piazza Diossi, where there are several marble pillars. When Julius approached, he found that even four of them might not be able to hug these pillars. Moreover, the pillars were very high, so he stood underneath and raised his head. When looking up, these pillars look like they are going straight into the deepest part of the sky.

  There are many moving stalls in this square. Those caravans are parked on the side, and the goods are either on the ground or listed on the outer wall of the caravan. This is a simple shop. In addition to these caravans, there were also people who looked like bards playing, with hats that they should have worn on their heads at their feet. Occasionally, pedestrians will stop and listen for a while, but more people are not interested. Foreign travelers may be interested in the performance of the bard, but for the residents of this city, there are not a thousand or hundreds of people playing in this place every day. They have already lost their freshness and just take it as It’s a bland routine.

  While Julius marveled at the towering pillar, Lulunaka placed her hand on the surface of the pillar and stroked it carefully. “All the glyphs are gone, it’s a waste…” She looked a little sorry. Julius couldn’t understand what she was so sorry for. He only saw a big smooth pillar. “There is nothing on this,” he said.

   “Of course there is nothing, because it’s all destroyed.” Lulunaka said.

   Julius also leaned forward and reached out to touch the surface of the pillar. Except for some dents, there are not too many traces of man-made destruction, “but it is intact.” he said.

   “For you, this is of course intact.” Lulunaka said, “But for me, this column is destroyed. It should have been carved on the surface, but because it was After burning, these carvings are gone, and then apply a layer of white powder to make it look intact.” Lulunaka sighed, “I’m really deceiving myself… I just lied to you like this. Fools, and those who are clear but willing to be fools.”

   Lulunaka looked at Julius, “Don’t you believe it? Then there is a way to prove what I said.” She handed her knife to Julius, “Knock out the stuff that was painted on the surface. See what color is inside?”

   “Are you crazy?” Julius looked around, and he was relieved to find that no one was paying attention. “Would you not be warned for doing this kind of thing!” He whispered to Lulunaka.

   “Who cares about this kind of pillars that are useless except tall and thick? You are too timid.” Lulunaka laughed, “Don’t talk about the residents of this city, I don’t think even the guards are interested. Pay attention to us.” She said so, looking at the guards standing on the other side~IndoMTL.com~The guards with the halberds looked listless, and maybe they were really not interested in paying attention to them.

   But this is not the reason Julius would take the knife and mess around on this amazing pillar. He didn’t take Lulunaka’s knife.

   Lulunaka took the knife back, “Forget it, just teasing you, if you really do that, then you are really as stupid as a kid.”

   Julius is very fortunate that he has not listened to Lulunaka’s nonsense, and really do it. It seems that if he does this, Lulunaka will definitely taunt him as always.

   Lulunaka continued to focus on the pillar, “Hey…in the past, you probably had no chance to connect to this pillar. At that time, there were not only carvings, but also luxurious decorations. The gold leaf covered the surface of the pillar, and the snake-shaped gold ware tightly entangled the pillar. The four snake heads are at the top of the pillar, each facing one direction…”

   Julius listened to Lulunaka’s narration and brought her words onto the pillar. In his barren imagination, in addition to the grandeur, the pillars became more luxurious and dazzling, and the four snake heads were impressive, and at the same time they reminded him of some previous things.

   “There is also a snake on that broken sword.” Julius said.

  ”It’s essentially the same thing.” Lulunaka said, “The little snake guards the hilt, and the big snake guards the giant pillar. At the top, there used to be a scepter representing imperial power, but where is that thing now? What?”

   Julius looked up, the top of the pillar was empty, there was nothing.

   “The scepter is no longer, the snake has turned into a dragon.” Lulunaka said, “There is only one empty pillar left. It has been repainted. I thought it would be able to forget the past… It’s so pitiful.”
