Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
390. Icy Fai Palace
When it was getting dim, I finally reached in front of the main entrance to Ice Fai Palace, Palace Shell On.
Its structure sits with Deng on a site a short distance from the crowded city landscape. Looking back, it was a considerable enormity of something not as great as Raindeer Royal Castle.
(It's all about high-rise apartments, damn it)
I just look up and my neck hurts. The sphere on the roof alone is likely to last about two floors.
Snow and ice stretched against the walls reflect glittering sunlight. "Ice Fai Palace" is something I used to say, and I couldn't help but admire Lifeguard.
Anyway,
"Samu ~ ~ Yikes...!
A word of Julie flaunting her shoulders was a terminal expression of the world.
The snow under my feet is beeping like stone, and the cobblestone, if you look closely, is stretched with thin films of ice. It's amazing how hard it seems to be around a metre from the exterior walls and the building's tip, like a monster's fang.
"You're pretty cold today. Your feet are frozen, so be careful not to slip"
Start moving about the leading Hefnell,
"Owar."
The advice was empty, and suddenly Edvin fell. As usual, it was an outside crotch walk with a Yankee feel rounded out, so I had no choice. Julie also slips "kick" and holds it back by clutching to Sabel....... I think it's a little tricky, too. Mr. Serious Belgrette is polite every step of the way.
"... there's no soldiers around or anything like that at all"
Liquid protection also walks carefully, whilst mouthing what he notices.
I had the lonely impression of a giant palace nestled in the white earth under a cloudy cold sky, but it was not like a person.
"Right. There is no shield around this icy palace, Palace Shell On, so one of the reasons is the harsh cold of the wind that blows... oh, look at that."
We all pay attention to the tip he points to.
The round roof of the palace - the faint chunks of snow that had accumulated there - was just about to slide off now. I guess it's built for this, so that's good.
"Owah."
"Geez."
What surprised everyone was the bang that rang right after! a grand bursting sound. The snow that fell off the roof was the sound of being slammed against the cobblestone.
"That's all the snow... it's amazing. Falling from that height, it's a fine hazard. I see, that's why you don't have a lookout."
Sabel nods as impressed and the young soldier of Snow Country agrees "Yes".
"That street, it's dangerous around the winter palace, so I can't walk in a detour. All of you, be careful under the roof of the building in our country this time of year. Every year in the city, there are people who die when they hit" that. "
Even soft snow can create so many shocks if something cold and hardened falls from that height. It is no longer very different from falling stones. If you hit him directly in the head, it would be a catastrophe you can't even see.
If you think about it that way, you will notice that the immediate upper part leading to the front entrance and exit of the palace has slightly different shapes between the walls. It seems to be built to accommodate falling snow, with multiple staged roofs provided to mitigate impact, or roofs (which are also bowed hemispherically) that look sturdy on the doors.
"Aside from the main entrance, there are several other ways to get into the palace, but none of them are dangerous when they don't have a roof like that on top and it snows. So I'm strictly locked from inside and out. In winter, it's sealed off."
"Ha, that's tough."
At the same time as Sabel's gavel, as well as the snow falling off the roof, blasted a flashy aftertaste of bread.
"In years like this one, when the snow falls, it hits the cobblestone immediately, and it makes such an amazing noise."
"Is this less snow..."
It is only surprising as a drift shield. Seeing as it was due to the impact, the cobblestone had shrunk and the pattern had disappeared.
"Damn it... you have to watch out up there and down there, this country is"
With a bitter smile at Edvin's blur, it was finally a line to dive into the door and enter the castle.
Unlike outside, the interior of the palace was warm - never.
Divine columns and stained glass are lavish and fine, but then the wide stone doorway is only cold for that matter, and the air is cool and clear.
The laying carpets, hanging curtains and drapes also felt that the cold colors such as blue and white were prominent and a trembling element.
I wish I could at least have a red or something that looks warm...... but I say this is the 'color of Badalnoise'. Blue and white are used heavily in this country, as red was considered the color of exorcism in the refe and used for room wallpapers and soldier armor.
Anyway, it still seems cold for locals to be cold. The soldiers who went in the halls and hallways were beheaded, and the servants were wearing thick clothes and hardening themselves.
"That, what...?
Walking after Hefnell.
To the sight that I had been concerned about earlier, the drift shield tilted its neck. By the corner of the big hall just after entering the castle or the aisle you're walking in... there's a lot of firewood piling up there. Unfortunately, I have the impression that there is an incompatibility within the palace with a majestic atmosphere.
The question was answered by Hefnell, who smiled bitterly.
"Oh... as you can see, it's firewood. It's this cold... every room in the palace has a big fireplace and it's always running. That's why we need a lot of firewood."
"Oh, I see..."
With so much cooling and spaciousness, thermostats are no longer enough. These preparations seem indispensable, as there are no civilized instruments such as oil stoves.
It also seems that Badalnoise humans somehow are born with ice attributes, which is why it is difficult to take warmth with flaming techniques because of the majority.
"There are rooms in the palace dedicated to salary. It's one of the soldiers' jobs, and they're all in charge."
"Heh. That sounds tough..."
"Ha. Still, if you're a Badalnoise guy, because that's what we've all been doing since we were kids. I'm used to it. … here it is."
Probably equivalent to the central part of the ground floor.
I couldn't tell from the outside, but I could see the courtyard through the hallway window. Beautiful green natural gardens. A number of beautifully decorated giant columns flutter at equal intervals.
"Oh, you're green. There's no snow here, is there?"
"Yeah, yes. Because there's a roof."
"Oh, really. Too expensive to realize."
Will its thickness extend to one meter and its height to ten meters? There was a ceiling in a form supported by columns to be aligned.
I guess it should be described as majestic or extravagant.
(If even one of those pillars breaks and falls, it's going to be a big deal...)
The corridor on the collapsed side will be crushed and buried by rubble.
As for the exile protection of the common people, it bothered me that I didn't care.
"From this staircase, we'll go upstairs."
Ahead of being spearheaded, a much larger space resembles the great hall of the entrance. About twenty meters square. It is still colored with blue based curtains and carpets. There were lots of windows on the wall and the outside lights were intact.
The stairs that just came up continued further up.
"There are many private rooms upstairs for knights, servants, etc. There are libraries, rooms, etc. Oh, it will be on the third floor above this during the glance. Father Ohmzolf usually performs almost all of his life on the third floor and is complete."
When I went up with an explanation, there was still a space the same size as the hall upstairs as now. The stairs end here. They're going to be three floors.
Outside clouds peek through windows for lighting that line the top of the wall with unevenness.
Two pairs of columns with a meticulous tsu design support the high ceiling, a lustrous blue carpet with hairy feet on one side of the floor. Spacious and quiet space with a harsh atmosphere.
"I knew every country would have a big castle like this."
It was Julie who gave it away in a tone that impressed me.
"Right. They say this Icy Fai palace, Parechel on, was a castle fortress long ago to protect itself from invasion by external enemies. That's why it's so complicated."
"Heh. Sounds like a Raindeer castle around there."
"Right," snorted the neighbor Bergrette as the drift guard squeaked.
"For example, this hall that we're in right now is also a place that we have to go to before we can see it."
"Hmm. That's why we're intercepting the invading enemy here so they don't easily go under the king."
"Yeah, yes. That can't be the first thing in this day and age... but when something happens, it does."
Hefnell nodded at Sabel's words as he looked around.
There was also an intention to assume such a battle, or it was certainly a space that seemed to move widely.
Step onto the blue carpet laid down in the hallway, followed by the leading Hefnell.
(The third floor doesn't seem very spacious)
As we move on to the upper floors, they also narrow the area of the building by the mountains.
Moving on looking around for a while. To the destination, a large, luxurious black door appeared.
"We're here. This is the place to look."
"Ooh..."
Investigate through the heavy doors. The face-to-face meeting with King Aldia is a totally familiar exodus, but this is the first time I've met an exotic king.
Two soldiers were standing guard at the entrance. It can be assumed that the design of the bamboo applied to the armor helmet is gorgeous and flashy and is clearly not a common soldier.
"By the life of the Ohmzolf priest, we have brought our guests"
Following Hefnell's report, the soldiers bowed their heads to the drift guards with a sincere waist.
Welcome aboard, far away.
Greetings are there too, one takes out something like a "rude" and a roster.
"Just in case, check before you come in. To Lugo Aliumi, to Bergrette Fiz Gertirudo, to Sabel Alhano…"
Identity checks were carried out here as well as at the time of entry.
Again, I don't think so, but Badalnoise is on strict alert. Perhaps we should do more to this extent than try to get travelers from outside to meet the queen's equivalent.
The eyes of the soldier, checked sequentially, are directed at Julie and Edvin.
"... that's... your friend with you, is it?
So Julie hoisted her shapely eyebrows, and she went in even grumpy.
"Hey, is it 'again'? I hope you keep in touch. My name is Julie Micheus. Sabel's partner. I want you to treat him equally, because you can't cut him off."
She was also angry at the same 'other' treatment she had when she entered the country.
"Excuse me for this"
One soldier drips his head off. polite, but somewhere heartless pale clerical apology. That was dissatisfaction, or Julie flattened her eyes.
"We're not welcome to take you with us. Looks like you should wait outside, Edvin."
"Ha. I don't care."
As a Yankee student hanging up at Midir College, he thinks it's tough to see things with great people from other countries. I can't seem to complain about the unexpected treatment.
"No, thank you very much! I'm sorry about this mess. Please come in, both of you."
The other told him to take a look, and the door was opened between his eyes.
