Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 722 "Strip City" Adela
"Can this really be called a 'city'?"

Standing on the moat, no, Gray in front of the moat widened his eyes, and Shen Er beside him also showed shock.

The "Strip City" in front of me is really too weird.

Obviously such a beautiful environment.As described in a fairy tale, the quiet and deep jungle, the vast and quiet lake, the thick suspension bridge that tiles the lake, and the marble castle, everything should be so perfect, not inferior to any existing famous city .

However - the style of the castle itself is so distorted, so grotesque, as if deliberately arousing people's uneasiness.

That's right, it was intentional. Excluding the strong visual image brought by the castle itself, it is not difficult to find that the stacking of each piece of marble is carefully calculated.

The crooked minaret, the half-collapsed city gate, the continuous crooked city wall and the mansion behind the city wall are connected with the surrounding mountain as a whole, making the whole castle look like it was excavated from the mountain instead of hollowing out the mountain. of.

On this basis, if you observe from a longer distance again, you will find new discoveries.

The city is like a giant, with spiers like spines, gates into ribs, walls as shoulders, and houses as heart—showing a terrifying scene of turning inside out and peeling off the skin and muscles from the skeleton.

"That's why it's called 'Strip City'... What a joke! It makes one want to blow it up."

"Instructor, isn't this too..."

"This time I support this kid. This city gives me a very bad feeling. It is both hypocritical and sacred."

Because before arriving at the castle, Yard deliberately lowered his voice.

"Holy hypocrisy..." Gray murmured, "Why is this happening?"

"Because giants are children of angels." The new visitor stepped onto the drawbridge.

This is a typical western aristocrat, about 25 years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, a pure white suit with a tie clip inlaid with precious gemstones and his temperament is perfect and soft, making him look calm and majestic.

The most impressive thing is the pair of eyes, which are clear eyes that rarely appear in magicians. From this point, it can be judged that he, like Shinji, is an outlier among magicians.

"A child of an angel?" A girl in a white dress leaned out from behind the young man. She might only be half the age of Grey, about 7 or 8 years old. She looked shy like a chick flying for the first time.

"It is recorded in the Apocrypha of the Bible that the children of angels and humans can be up to three thousand cubits."

"Ah, I know, it's 300 meters, right?"

"That's right, the response was quick, Rosalind."

The young man patted the girl's head, and the doting eyes in his eyes reminded Shinji of his time with Sakura.

"Instructor, is what he said true?" Gray asked softly.

"It's true. It comes from the Book of Enoch, but I can't believe that such words came out of his mouth."

"why?"

"Because he's the famous 'The Knight' Heine Istari."

Heine Istari, from the famous Istari family of alchemists.The family itself is inconspicuous in the clock tower headquarters where there are many famous families. Heine became famous because of his own experience.He was obviously born in an orthodox magician family, and he himself has the leading magician literacy, but he gave up magic and went to the church to become a contemporary practitioner.

Later, for some reason, it returned to the clock tower and became the darling in the eyes of many lords. For this reason, the relationship between the church and the clock tower was very tense.It is said that assassins were secretly sent to take Heine away, but in the end the assassins were all defeated by Heine, and the matter was left alone.

Heine will join the church, which shows that he is a very devout believer.Such a person is familiar with apocryphal scriptures that are not recognized by the church, and he still tells his sister so naturally, how can it not surprise people.

While chatting, Heine also noticed the boys and girls in front of them, and naturally walked forward.

"Good afternoon, both of you, I'm Heine Istaly, and this is my sister Rosalind."

"Mr. Heine, good afternoon, Miss Rosalind, good afternoon. I'm Shen Zhong, she's Gray, and we are members of Elmeloy's classroom."

In order to facilitate Shen Er's secret activities, Lorelia helped Shen Er prepare several disguised identities. Shen Er's most used and favorite one is Shen Zhong from China.

"So you are the students of Professor Velvet, didn't the professor come?"

"Unfortunately, the professor was originally going to come, but he received a temporary cooperation project with China, so he temporarily sent his inner disciple, Ms. Gray, and me to attend on behalf of him."

"It turned out to be Professor Velvet's inner disciple. The professor is the best teacher in the Clock Tower. It is the dream of countless people to be his inner disciple. Miss Gray's future achievements are limitless."

"Okay, thank you." Gray shrank, obviously not used to this kind of communication.

Shen Er hurriedly smoothed things over: "I'm sorry, Mr. Heine, Miss Gray has only arrived in London not long ago, and she hasn't fully adapted yet."

"I'm really sorry. It's disrespectful to the owner to stand and chat at the door. Let's go in and talk again?"

"Please--"

With that said, two men walked ahead and led two shy ladies into the castle.

Behind the city gate is a simple and wide vestibule. The owner of the castle doesn't seem to be very interested in this place. He just did a minimum of care and may have planted some flowers, but he doesn't know the exact location of the flower garden, so he can only smell a little. aroma.

In front of the main city used as a mansion, a butler in a suit stood, and when he saw several people coming, he saluted respectfully and opened the gate.

Behind the door is an unusually spacious hall, which is full of "angels".

Statues, murals, paintings, chandeliers, and all kinds of art.

The poses, materials vary, as do the kinds of angels depicted.

The young angel holding a bow and arrow, the heroic archangel holding a sword, the master angel holding a staff of authority...

Not only these classic angel images, but also more unknown and grotesque angels.

For example, the four faces are shaped like cherubs, seraphs like seraphs, and of course the oldest image of an angel-the seated angel.

It was a "flaming wheel" suspended in the air, with countless eyeballs attached to its outside, staring at everything on the ground.

That's right, this is the image of an angel that was first recorded. It is not the human form that people recognize, but it is closer to the angel's original duty-the container of divine power.

The so-called angels use their bodies to carry divine power, just like modern magicians use their own magic circuits to perform magic.

Another name for "Strip City Adela" is "City of Angels"!
PS: I don't know how many people watched "Overlord", the angels in it are closer to the original image of angels - although they are all products that were tortured by An Zi.
