Chapter 30 The Empress
If a second ago, Charles' inner world still looked at the backward technological development of this world with a proud look, then at this moment, he knew that he underestimated the world too much.
The golden sunlight shone on the side of the Afforgent airship in the early morning. The reflected light makes people unable to open their eyes. It is difficult to describe the emotional fluctuations in Charles at this time. Perhaps only miracles will be slightly more appropriate.
After staggering the right reflection angle, Charles was finally able to look at the full picture of the airship more clearly.
It has sixteen independent round airbags connected together by some metal frames. Each airbag looks very large. Even if one or two of them are damaged, it will not have any impact on the stability of its overall structure.
Just under the airbag, a four-layer flight compartment was hung. Shire didn't know how big it was, but it was definitely not too small.
Its outer wall is very exquisitely painted. Whenever the sun shines on its surface, the colorful patterns seem to come alive, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling in the flowing light.
At the bottom of the flight cabin, there is a royal badge printed...
Everyone looked up at the airship with a complex expression and solemn expression. A reporter in his forties around Charles kept repeating "Anfognath". This word is actually the ancient pronunciation of "Queen", so the airship of Anfognath is also called the Queen.
When the Queen's airship slowly floated over the apron, Charles could even hear the cheers coming from the city walls, and the whole city turned into a sea of joy. Although Charles still didn't understand why people like the Queen so much.
The camera in his hand had already started working, and shooting was like his instinct. When the Queen's airship dropped a little, Charles even gasped involuntarily.
It was an instinctive reaction when facing pressure, and the others around him were almost the same. After all, on their heads, the Queen had almost covered most of the sky!
This made Charles feel a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart. His instinct told himself that it would be better to escape farther, because if the thing on his head fell off, he would not even need to escape and could wait to die on the spot.
When the airship landed to a certain level, it stopped completely when it was about seventy or eighty meters away from the ground. The main reason was that the Queen's airship was really too big, so large that it could not stop even at the apron.
So the queen wanted to get down, so she could only ride a lifter - the bottom layer of the flight compartment suddenly separated from it, and twelve ropes as thick as children's arms fell from the flight compartment, and a basket filled with metal components appeared in the middle of the twelve ropes.
It clamps these ropes through some mechanisms and forms some special force enough to allow some heavy things to rise and fall slowly and safely.
But the queen didn't come down immediately, she was waiting.
When the time pointed to 8:55, the door on the city wall opened again, and four members of the city honor guard wearing white underwear and high hats walked in from outside the city wall with a roll of red carpet. Each step was loosened a little, and when they walked directly under the apron, the red carpet just ran out.
Immediately afterwards, a group of members of the Aepad army holding musical instruments walked out of the small door on the red carpet. The melodious music sounded the moment they left the city wall, and it seemed that even the sunlight became brighter by the beautiful music.
Charles kept taking photos, and at the same time he felt in his heart that he could not describe himself, a little funny, a little solemn, and a little shocked.
He seems to be witnessing an era as a witness!
Finally, with the three officers holding ceremonial swords leading the way, Count Liszt finally appeared in front of Charles and everyone.
This was the first time Charles met Count Liszt, in any sense or form.
In fact, 95% of the people in the lower city did not know what the rulers of the city they lived in looked like. They did not want to know, nor did they need to know, because this did not prevent them from worrying about some of the things and policies of Count Liszt.
"Consul Lister" and "Earl Lister" have been symbolized to the people in the lower city. He is no longer a specific person, but has become a symbol of reference, so people do not need to know him at all.
He looked in his thirties, with very white skin, with a circle of brown and black trimmed beard, wearing a very decent tuxedo, holding a cane filled with gems in his hand, several medals hung on his chest, and three layers of three-color gems were inlaid on his high-top soft hat.
Aepeda's tax officer followed closely behind, a short, fat middle-aged man with a golden beard that didn't look particularly clean, had white skin, and was dressed very well.
Things like tight buttons and expose your belly will basically not happen to the powerful, because they make new clothes every quarter of each year. Apart from malicious vilification, this kind of thing is impossible.
Aepeda's ruling class was basically all there, and two groups of people made Charles very curious. The first group should be the people from the courtroom. They were wearing black background and silver-edged clothes - not ordinary buttons, but a way to wear clothes similar to laces, black boots, and the clothes looked very old-fashioned.
They wore high hats with the same black background and silver edges, and the height was higher than normal high hats.
These people have a very cold expression, serious smile, and their eyes are gloomy. When they look at anyone, they seem to be scrutinizing the prisoner.
The other group of people wore robes with a relatively rare blue or gray bottom, with some symbols representing the formation on their chests and cuffs. There were four people with the most, and two people with the least.
These people are vaguely self-contained, giving people a very special feeling, just like... they are one kind of person, and others are another kind of person.
When Charles changed the negatives, the band's music stopped, and Earl Liszt walked up the steps and stood on the apron, followed by a more powerful and thick music, and after the music, there was a series of sounds of gear rolling.
Someone exclaimed in a low voice, and Shire immediately realized something. Almost all the reporters raised their cameras and pointed them at the lifting cabin lowered by the airship.
Queen, appeared!
She stood in the lifting cabin, wearing a relatively neutral outfit, without a crown, and without twenty-two gems inlaid, representing the twenty-two cities of the empire and the shawls on the map, and without royal robes... If they also called that kind of clothing the imperial robes.
