At this moment, a strong bell rang over the distant city.
The shocking sound resounded throughout almost all areas in and outside the city, with nineteen knocks.
"The sound is so loud. This is the clock tower used by the human race to keep time... Speaking of which, there seems to be a sound here? They are all the same, but why are they everywhere? Is it magic?"
Dorlando exclaimed. Sound is one of the few external objects that can be felt in the same way as humans.
It has grown up in a forest hundreds or thousands of years ago, and lived with a group of elves who lived a primitive life even a few years ago. It is definitely a luxury to expect it to distinguish things that it has not seen by itself.
Although Mo Gan knew it, he confirmed it and ensured that he would not mislead anyone.
"After the bells ring, what you hear is the 'sun wheel' phenomenon unique to Nova City. When the day and night turn, they will flip up and down specific places in the city and turn them into other functional structures, which are used to achieve different uses of the same space. Effect."
As Mogan said.
With the sound of metallic friction that is relatively imperceptible and only those with overly keen senses would be disturbed, strange movements occur throughout the city.
For example, dozens of meters away, several rows of inspection channels were issued with access orders for all personnel to evacuate. At this moment, they had slowly overturned and were deposited at the bottom of the bottom-up sentry station.
As we all know, to ensure personnel safety, access orders are only reviewed and issued during the day. If you have special needs, you have to go to the specially opened small city gate, but you will also need to pay an additional fee.
The original passage has become redundant at this time, and in the dark night where there are shadows everywhere, the place for protection and guarding is more important.
There are actually many similar transformations.
Because most of the shops in the outer city are open day and night, and the area that changes day and night in the outer city is limited, more mechanical transformation sites are located in residential areas, accounting for one-fifth of the public places, no more, no less.
In fact, these are all inspired by the characteristics of the city in the Kingdom of Denton, which is called the "City of Machinery". It was given priority to refer to the design during reconstruction, and this is one of the urban planning plans derived from this.
There are not many pedestrians on the road now.
Mogan melted the fake "gem-encrusted" dagger, released the little elf that was hiding there, and let it fly around freely. He also told him to hide in his shadow when he saw someone.
At the same time, he didn't mind telling the elf some principles of the human world, so that his alien apprentice could develop the good habit of drawing inferences from one example to another.
"Since Queen Cole took office, she has made a lot of plans to make the country stronger. It is not just about setting goals - Nova City was intended to be the starting point of innovation from the beginning."
The Cole Kingdom's status was once extremely embarrassing, especially after the war when everything was in dire straits.
In terms of technological level, the Cole Kingdom cannot compare with Denton, a newly built city that started out as a craftsman. In terms of area and population, the long-term wars have also made the Cole Kingdom aware of the gap.
As for comparing with Lestus...
Let’s not talk about whether there is such a way. Just some unique royal records about their magisters from a hundred years ago can be daunting.
Being able to obtain so many resources from all over the country, Nova City's rapid re-emergence is naturally not only due to the sympathy and face-saving projects of others, but also the benefit to the entire country lies in the long-term experiment.
How to make Cole, who is not outstanding in all aspects, occupy a stable position among the four countries and refer to other countries' methods of doing things so as not to fall behind. This is an issue that Queen Cole has focused on for the past thirty years.
She also did it.
Taking Nova City as an example, it adopted Lestus's traffic order and the urban mechanical structure of the Kingdom of Denton. Nova City is actually a melting pot that combines the special characteristics and landmarks of various countries.
This reference seems to leave aside the powerful but more sensitive Kingdom of Crowley. Because of the political factors of the times, this is not surprising.
——It is not a good thing to imitate the country that you just fought with.
After giving lectures to Dolanduo, Mogan found a fork with a street number on it based on the map he memorized in his memory, and then turned around.
Go down and enter the residential area.
Vendors are not allowed in residential areas of Nova City, and there are clear prohibition signs.
It's not a commercial monopoly, it's just that the flow of people cannot reach the designated level, and allowing people to stay like in the broad outer city will hinder traffic.
Especially the blocks closer to the residential areas in the city become quieter and quieter as you go in, the streets become more tidy and tidy, and the wider housing does not conflict with the road traffic.
This situation relies on Nova City's relatively superior and highly utilized road planning.
Based on Mogan’s fieldwork experience, the new type of planning is considered unique in the Cole Kingdom, where most cities have not changed for a century. It is also part of the urban planning reform experiment.
Mogan looked at the tallest building on the edge of the residential area, briefly glanced at the kingdom's flag at the top, and then continued on his way.
He knew that that was the location of the Knights of Nova City, and it was also one of the starting points for their departure as described by the Mirandi brothers.
It looks like everything is normal and well-guarded, but I don't know what it is actually like.
It was in this place that night that they were completely deserted - which also meant that if the defense was completely penetrated anywhere, the Knights should have the most serious suspicion.
Two teenagers stole a sword openly and successfully. This is not an ordinary problem.
Mogan knew this very early on, and the order in Nova City was basically determined by three parties.
Inquisitors, Knights, and Dukes.
The last one is hiding in the XC area. He dare not show up and is afraid of death. He doesn't know what he is doing in Nova City, and Mo Gan is also interested in investigating.
But in any case, the task of defending the city is not the Duke's business, and he has no direct authority.
Neither Albert nor the people behind him can directly influence the other two forces. Except through an indirect method...
Morgan thought of the various uniforms at the city gate. When he started observing, he wanted to get the answer first, but found that there were both, and he couldn't tell which side was more dominant.
Knights, Inspectors.
Which party has become the loophole?
It’s still not convenient to tell Dorando’s content.
Morgan had heard of Nova City's name early not because of its innovative nature, but because it was out of control, and many upper-class people seemed to have no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.
The tragedy of family extermination was vivid, and the experiences of the Mirandi siblings were also told personally.
The construction of the city has been completed for decades, but various functions have not been spread to the entire country regardless of their effects. This is largely because the control of Nova City has been out of control in the later period.
Sending Inspector Assad to take personal control of the inspector's affairs here in the name of rotation was Queen Christine's last step.
But now it seems that there is no progress, and what Mogan read in the Queen's letter probably means that it is best for him not to get involved in this matter.
The word "best" means "can" in Mogan's dictionary. Perhaps the queen left some room for it and thought it was not impossible.
It would be too rash to rush directly to the Knights. His current target is the residence of the Mirandi family. This is what Will describes telling himself.
When he arrived at the place, the scene that appeared was slightly different from what Mo Gan had imagined, which made him startled.
What he saw in front of him was not a complete house, nor a ruin that had been bulldozed and cleared away, but half a house that was still covered in scorched marks, but all the objects had been preserved intact.
The still-complete house number inserted in the soil and weeds in front of the house actually has the correct surname of the "Mirandi" family written on it.
Morgan could also recognize that the handwriting on the door plate was similar to Will's handwriting in Robbie's shop, but the writing was relatively immature. The writing here was probably a symbol of the Mirandi family's happiness.
It's as if a year has not flowed at all and has been frozen to this day. For example, the Mirandi siblings witnessed their home being burned down by fire last night and hurriedly escaped from Nova City.
