After all, my curiosity was no match for my fatigue, so I slept like this for a few hours. Zhan Yue got up and opened the window. The sunlight was dazzling, but also extremely kind. The sunlight in this world has a magical power. The room he was in was on the third floor. Outside the window was a green courtyard, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, just like an oil painting.
I put on the clothes the waiter gave me and put my backpack in place. The backpack is full of things brought from the original world, which may be useful in the future. This inn was very luxurious and the security was very good, so he felt safe leaving his backpack in the house.
"This way you won't be stared at by others." Zhan Yue looked at the blue uniform on his body. It was a well-fitting suit that did not affect movement at all, and the fabric was extremely soft to the touch. "It seems that the waiter didn't trick me."
After having breakfast at the inn, Zhan Yue planned to get to know the world.
Different from late at night, during the day, there are people coming and going in front of Fulai Inn and there is a lot of traffic. Some people walked, some rode pack animals like mules, and others rode mechanical vehicles like rickshaws, which were pulled by rickshaw drivers.
As soon as Zhan Yue came out, a group of people quickly surrounded him, which startled him.
"Master, please get in my car. My car is comfortable."
"Get in my car. I am most familiar with the City of the Rising Sun. No matter where you go, I can take you there quickly."
"Get in my car... No, you're talking nonsense, get in my car."
"I just bought a new car. It's clean."
A group of rickshaw drivers are waiting outside the inn to grab business. Rising Sun City has a large flow of people and complicated roads. For those who don’t know much about it, riding this kind of rickshaw is a good choice. The driver is equivalent to the driver and guide. And ordinary people like them also make a living by selling their physical strength, and the people who come out of the inn are the ones in greatest need.
Among a bunch of tall figures, Zhan Yue saw a boy of thirteen or fourteen, who looked like a little chicken among a group of big men. The young man also noticed Zhan Yue looking at him and hurriedly squeezed past.
"Master, please take my car. I grew up in Rising Sun City and am very familiar with it." The young man said, his eyes full of requests.
"You are so skinny, can you pull a car?" Zhan Yue asked.
The young man patted his chest and assured: "No problem, there are mostly flat roads in Xuri City, and my car was modified by Master Lu. It is very labor-saving. Don't look down on me just because I am young. I drive more than ten people a day." None of the guests are out of breath.”
"Then it's you." Zhan Yue pointed at the young man and said. The other drivers around him dispersed in disappointment, waiting for their next target. Zhan Yue looked at this young man. He was afraid that there might be something unspeakable about him doing heavy work at such a young age.
"Master, where are you going?" The young man asked politely and invited Zhan Yue into the car. This car was not big enough to accommodate one person. Zhan Yue also didn't expect that there were so many rickshaws in Xuri City. He didn't know that this was intentional by the lord of Xuri City. Except for caravans, many large-scale mounts were prohibited from entering the city. This not only maintained the city's public security and sanitation, but also left some space for these ordinary people. A way to make a living.
"Take me around Rising Sun City and introduce me to the important attractions and buildings." Zhan Yue said.
The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a big job. Serving him alone was worth a day's work. "Don't worry, sir. I grew up in Rising Sun City. I know this city well and I guarantee to complete the task perfectly!"
Zhan Yue smiled and then asked, "What's your name? Since you said you know this city well, I have to test you."
"Just call me Apan." The young man said, still a little panicked, not knowing what questions Zhan Yue would ask.
Zhan Yue pointed to the white transparent tower that towered into the clouds and asked, "Who built this tower? Why does it glow at night? What is the purpose of its glow?"
"That's it? That's it?" The young man felt relieved. It turned out that Zhan Yuezhen was just 'testing him'. This was considered basic common sense. However, he did not dare to show any confusion, but answered honestly: "This tower It was invented by the goddess of transparency in ancient times and cast by thousands of craftsmen, hence the name transparent tower. All cities with a population of one million on the Wanling Continent will be guarded by a transparent tower. The tower absorbs sunlight as energy during the day and blooms at night. Light, light will cover the City of the Rising Sun and the surrounding acropolis, and the Night Dire demons will not dare to approach where the light shines. The Transparent Tower is the most important thing in a city, and if it loses it, the fate that awaits this city is to be swallowed by the dark night. "
Zhan Yue nodded, knowing that this knowledge was probably the basic common sense of this continent. He did not show surprise, but pretended to be a test and continued to ask: "Well, it seems that you have a good grasp of the basic common sense. Then Let me continue to ask you, what should you do if the sun is covered by dark clouds during the day and the energy obtained is not enough to meet the needs of the night?"
The young man Apan held his tongue in disdain, wondering why this man asked such stupid questions.
"The extra energy on sunny days will be stored as clear stone. If it is rainy and continuous, the energy during the day is not enough, and the clear stone will be used to support it at night. Hundreds of cities in the East Kingdom will be connected with the same energy. If other cities do not have enough clear stone reserves, It will be supported by other cities. In short, there has never been any problem with the operation of all cities. This is also the measure of our Eastern Kingdom organization.
Sometimes the severely overflowed transparent stone will be circulated on the market and even exported to other countries with insufficient sunshine. The transparent stone has many uses and is considered the most important export product of the Eastern Kingdom, and our Rising Sun City is even more important in the Eastern Kingdom. It has the most sunshine in the city, so the output of clear stone is also the highest. Rising Sun City's status among the hundred cities of the Eastern Kingdom is second only to the Imperial Capital and the Academic Capital, ranking third. "
"I see." Zhan Yue understood that this world's use of solar energy was even more advanced than the world he was in, and its storage of solar energy was also very advanced. The terrifying transparent tower was the best evidence.
"Here we are, sir, this is the place you have to visit when you come to Rising Sun City, the Statue of the Goddess of Tongming!" Apan said, pointing to a huge statue of 100 meters high in front of him.
Zhan Yue was dumbfounded as he looked at the 100-meter statue not far away. It was much larger than the Statue of Liberty and covered a huge area. For the city of Rising Sun, which has so little land, it was unbelievable that it was willing to place such a tall statue in the city. It's incredible. It goes without saying that the person represented by this statue must have an extremely important position in this world.
The statue looks like a woman with a vague appearance and a tall figure. She holds a sharp sword pointing to the sky in her right hand and holds a thick book in her left hand. The sword represents force and the book represents wisdom. The appearance is vague because few people have seen her true appearance, and craftsmen dare not carve it randomly. I only heard that the goddess of transparency in ancient times was extremely beautiful. She was also revered as the goddess of the sun and the goddess of wisdom. It was she who invented the Transparent Stone and the Transparent Tower, so that humans no longer fear the dark night.
"Every country has a 100-meter-long statue of the Goddess of Tongming to commemorate the goddess's great contribution to mankind. In the Eastern Kingdom, the statue of the Goddess of Tongming stands in the City of the Rising Sun. There are also many statues of the goddess in the imperial capital, but none of them are this big." A Pan introduced.
Looking at the huge statue of the goddess, Zhan Yue felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, as if she really wanted to touch the statue.
"Can I get close and touch this statue?" Zhan Yue asked curiously.
A Pan hurriedly stopped Zhan Yue's crazy thoughts, "Seeing that there are no threads on the ground, we can only look outside the threads. No one is allowed to enter the threads without the order of the city lord. Touching the statue of the goddess is even more treasonous and can be punished by death." !”
Zhan Yue sighed regretfully, but he remembered the statue. The throbbing was very strong, but at the moment he didn't know what it meant.
"Let's go, Apan, take me to the largest bookstore in Rising Sun City." Zhan Yue felt that the fastest way to understand this strange world was through books. As the distance from the goddess statue became farther and farther, the throbbing in Zhan Yue's heart also calmed down.
"By the way, Apan, do you know who owns a dragon in the Eastern Kingdom?" Zhan Yue suddenly remembered this question.
The young boy Apan was particularly speechless. This guest was full of weirdness. Isn’t this a problem that all three-year-olds know? If you have the guts, ask the four-year-old. But he did not dare to offend his guests.
"There are countless Beast Contractors in the entire Wanling Continent, but among these many Beast Contractors, there is only one Dragon Contractor, and that is our Royal Highness the Princess of the Eastern Kingdom!" Apan replied.
"The eldest princess of the East Kingdom?" Zhan Yue nodded. No wonder she was so generous. It turned out that she was top-notch white, rich and beautiful. White was really white, rich was really rich, and beauty was really beautiful. "An animal bonder, what is an animal bonder? Forget it, these cultivation issues should be explained in detail in books."
