Aivas and his party did not stop among other oasis city-states, but went directly to Holy Spring City.

Although they lack food that can fill sharks, Evas, who is now in a balanced way, can use pastoral methods. The energy contained in his flesh and blood is much stronger than that of beef and mutton.

They rushed for nearly two days - if it were Leviathan himself, he would not be able to fly back and forth in one day.

The main thing is that she has to tow a car with several people, which is a lot of trouble... After all, Leviathan's talent is high-speed maneuvering and air-to-air. Her advantage lies in the explosion. Her weight and battery life are really not enough. If she throws the carriage out in an instant, there is no problem at all, but it is really hard to pull the carriage and run so many people so far.

The straight line distance from Paradise City to Holy Spring City is about 2,000 kilometers.

This distance is about four to five times the distance between Avalon and east, and more than twice the distance between Iris and east.

Leviathan was able to arrive at his destination in just forty hours with a two-ton load, and he had already tried his best to arrive from a strong desert storm.

Another one who tried his best was Avas - he used pastoral method to replenish Leviathan three times.

In fact, one time is enough, but the Leviathan's "fuel tank" is too small. So I had to stop and recharge several times in the middle.

At 7 a.m. on July 3, they finally arrived in the surrounding area of ​​Holy Springs.

“—You can see the oasis ahead.”

Haina looked out of the window of the carriage and exclaimed: "It's really good... It's really worthy of being the largest city-state in Rest."

It was a "magnificent" city.

This city-state has an extremely high city wall of hundreds of feet, and its height is almost sank into the clouds. The amber city wall looks like a cake with syrup, or an extremely huge brass seal ring lying across the desert.

And that is not a bronze or brass texture - if you look closely, you will find that they are led to preservation by the amber dusk force. From a distance, you can see the complex patterns etched on the city wall.

With Haina's eyesight, she can easily see the contents of the scroll on the city wall.

On the west side of the city gate are many winged people. Some are like Lijiya, with white and fluffy wings, and even small wings behind the ears and feet; some are like hawks, with huge griffins with human heads and staffs; some are full of birds, but they are actually human hands and feet.

Everyone has different wings, and everyone has very different looks. The common point is that everyone has wings.

On the other side of the city gate are those with scales, snake people, lizard people, and fish people gather there. The fish people alone have two differences: "human head fish body" and "fish head human body", and their appearances are also very different...

The only difference from the west is that there are dragons on the scaled ones and some kind of marine life that are quite similar to Leviathan - let's call it dragon sharks - they have wings and scales at the same time, but choose to stand on the scaled ones.

The city gate in the center only opened a crack. It was about 150 degrees inward, so you could see the huge relief on the outside of the gate.

It's just like the structure with a lion's head or a hanging ring hanging in front of the door - but they are two heads.

The ancient painting techniques were obviously not very good, and I couldn't understand the characteristics of the face, and I couldn't even distinguish between men and women. But it could be roughly seen that one of the two heads was a winged person and the other was a scaly person.

Outside the city is a clear and sweet river - this is exactly the source of the name of Holy Spring City. It is regarded as the moat of Holy Spring City, but for the resting people, this sweet river is like the kingdom of heaven on earth.

When entering the oasis area, the crazy sandstorm stopped in an instant. Just as it suddenly entered the quiet and soundproof house from the noisy outside world, the crazy storm became like a well-behaved puppy, and even the shaking carriage became silent in an instant.

This is a vision that is completely missing in other city-states.

Although storms rarely approach urban areas among other city-states... but that is only "very rare". There is absolutely no such thing as crossing a layer of invisible barrier, taking a step is an instant experience of two worlds.

"What's the situation? Is it some kind of barrier?"

Haina became alert and stood up like a hunting dog hearing strangers' footsteps.

“This is normal too.”

Aivas didn't raise his head and waved his hand to signal Haina to sit down: "After all, this was the capital of resting in peace... It's normal for some ancient heritage to be a bit."

He was playing chess with Zhu Tang - although Zhu Tang couldn't open his eyes, he could recognize the identity of the chess piece by just touch. This is probably the reason why he didn't play Go with Avas.

On the other side, Ibn is playing cards with Haina.

The Rests like to play cards, so there are many card games. There are even modern playing methods that include Aivas is familiar with.

What he and Haina are playing now is a simple game similar to board games. It is also the most widely circulated card game in Rest, probably equivalent to the "Dirty Landlord" in Aivas's previous life.

It is called Paltz. If this name is translated into Avalon, it means the simplest and most straightforward "calculation".

A set of Paltz card sets have eight colors of cards, with eight patterns of pomegranate, books, slaves, spices, carpets, silk, gold coins, and water. The numbers from 1 to 8 are written according to the value from low to high. At the same time, the number of each thing is from one to eight. There are four of these eight cards that are exactly the same, and there are thirty-two in total.

The way to play this game is to take turns to play the leader of the caravan, declare an arbitrary number, and then start from the dealer to draw cards, and process the cards in your hand through four calculations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The fastest person who achieves this number wins, earns one point, and if the dealer reaches it himself, then earns three points.

If all the cards are drawn, or everyone still can't make up the number after the ninth card, then everyone will deduct one point and the dealer will deduct three points.

This is a game about wisdom and transcendence. The rules are simple, free and easy to understand. No matter how many people can play, no matter how many games you play, there are also gambling versions that are not points, but collect chips... There are even versions that bet on family members - real bet on family members.

Children in freelance families, as long as their family members have a good level of education, will play this kind of game since childhood to teach them how to recognize numbers, exercise their mental arithmetic skills, and let them roughly understand the value arrangement of various common commodities in caravans.

If you play this game well, it is easy to find a good job - the Sabre people value wisdom very much, and smart people can live well almost everywhere.

Even if you become a slave, if you know how to calculate and write, you will often sell it to richer free people to help them handle some more threshold work. Sometimes, it is even more expensive than some low-level extraordinary people.

In the view of Haina, who is an Avalonian, this game has a vicious purpose -

——It makes all resting people take it for granted to think that "slaves are a commodity" since childhood!

And its value is not very high, it is only higher than pomegranates and books!
