Chapter 580: The Kingdom of Mortals
After entering the core area of Blood Harbor, the buildings on both sides suddenly changed.
Various tall houses with flat and square exterior walls are built facing the street, like the walls of a fortress.
But the fortress has only one wall, while the walls in front of us are rows upon rows.
If you look further away, you can see lower factory buildings between these tall buildings, as well as chimneys standing nearby.
The chimneys are much taller than other buildings. These symbols of industrialization are like tall towers reaching into the sky, supporting the pillars of the world that prevent the sky from falling.
Suddenly, Gwen felt as if she was in a world of giants. Everything around her was unimaginably tall, as if there really were giants hundreds of feet tall living in this enlarged city.
Unfortunately, Gwen had very good eyesight. Even from a long distance, she could clearly see the people walking in the building. They were not tall giants, but ordinary mortals like her.
With a mortal body, he built this towering city with his own hands.
Gwen's heart was pounding.
Such a magnificent deed should be recorded in the scriptures and compiled into poetry to be sung. It is a miracle truly worth praising.
Can.
Gwen looked at the people around her. Neither the expeditionary force nor Nora seemed to be paying any attention to what was happening.
"Lady Nora," Gwen said quietly.
"What's wrong?"
"Why do you seem to care so little about this magnificent city? It is so great, or perhaps these expeditionary forces are used to it. If we follow the instructions of the Holy Church."
Gwen couldn't continue speaking. She and Nora had nothing to do with the Church of Silence anymore. In fact, they went back this time just to help the priests of the Church of Silence.
"What do you think? When the train enters Blood Harbor, we kneel down together and praise the greatness of Hughes in unison?"
"Well"
Gwen felt that Nora in her arms was a little too much, but she also knew that she actually thought so to some extent.
In Baiya, when entering the temple, one must devoutly recite the scriptures in the holy book and praise the greatness of the temple.
The city before us is obviously much greater than the stone cathedral. Shouldn’t steel and concrete be more worthy of worship?
"Gwen, actually, when I first arrived at Blood Harbor, I also asked the Lord about this matter."
"How did he answer? He must have been laughing at my ignorance," Gwen said in a daze.
Nora raised her head and looked at Gwen. Her usually expressionless face suddenly broke into a slight smile.
"He said I could write a project application for this matter. If I could pass a double-blind experiment and prove that prostrating oneself is conducive to scientific development, then I could promote this practice."
Gwen was stunned.
"Gwen, you know, the Castel people are always humble. They are willing to try out any bizarre idea in the laboratory. At the same time, they are extremely arrogant. If they find that it is useless, no matter how sacred the ritual is, even the gods themselves will not care about it at all."
"And Blood Harbor is the embodiment of their will. Take a good look at this city. Its greatness is not just a creation of steel and concrete."
Gwen bit her lip, feeling as if there were surging emotions colliding in her heart. The last time she had this feeling was when she first stepped into the temple, but this time, she would be heading to the mortal realm.
"Lord Nora, you asked me to take a look at this city, but it's too high, isn't it? I can't even see the top." Gwen muttered, tilting her head to look outside. "Not only the smoke and chimneys, I can't even see the tops of those tall buildings."
Gwen sat by the window on the train. She tried to get close to the window and looked up as much as she could. Finally, she even stuck her head out, but still couldn't see clearly.
Unless she could remove her head like Nora did, she would be limited by the narrow window and could only see the blood port the size of the window.
Unfortunately it cannot be demolished.
Gwen hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered her head and looked at Nora in her arms.
"." Nora's eyes twitched.
The core area was not large, and Gwen was still trying to adjust her posture when the train stopped in front of the platform with a slightly harsh braking sound.
"arrive?"
“Whether it’s time or not, take me back from the window first.” Nora’s tone was already a little numb.
Gwen is a very nice person, but she is too energetic. She always has some strange ideas, such as choosing to let Nora explore on her behalf after realizing that she can't explore herself.
Nora was stretched out of the window, feeling the warm evening breeze of Blood Harbor, and she began to doubt her life.
But she soon realized that she had doubted too early.
"Okay. Uh," Gwen agreed, slowly pulling her hand back, but it seemed to be stuck.
At this moment, there was a sound of gates being pulled from the stopped train.
The entire carriage suddenly lit up, and then noisy sounds mixed with the unique sea breeze from the port rushed over.
Gwen froze.
At this time, the Northland trains were still mainly used for freight transportation. The entire train was designed to prioritize freight transportation. There were no dedicated passenger cars, but instead freight cars with some seats. Although the comfort was average, no one cared.
Therefore, the carriage door opens sideways.
So when Zeus, who had heard that Gwen had returned and had decided to pick her up at the station on the spur of the moment, and a group of banshees who were waiting for the train to start, saw this scene after the carriage door was opened.
Gwen stretched both hands out of the window, not knowing what she was doing. She put one foot on the ground and the other on the window frame, trying hard to pull the thing in her hand back from outside.
As the car door opened, Gwen shuddered all over, with a look of something bad happening on her face, and slowly turned her head.
Behind her were several rows of banshees, as well as the expeditionary forces and citizens who had come to join in the fun, and Zeus who was staring in amazement.
“You, what are you doing?”
Gwen forced an awkward smile, then quickly turned around and pulled.
Bang!
A loud voice was heard.
The banshees around me looked at each other.
"Nini, who do you think wins here?" Monica poked Nini's waist with her elbow.
"I win."
"Huh? You think Gwen is crazy?"
"Look at her, isn't that crazy?"
“.”
Monica suddenly reacted after a while: "No, didn't you bet that Gwen is not crazy?"
"Then I still win."
"ah?"
"Do you remember Galahad? When he went mad he would just draw his sword and slash around. Now Gwen not only didn't slash anyone, but was also chased and bitten by Nora. There's obviously nothing wrong with this - it's Nora who's crazy."
Nini patiently explained to Monica. In front of the group, Nora rushed towards Gwen, who was running around with her head covered.
