Chapter 707: Salt Lake Scenery (1)

The municipal government of Salt Lake City is located on the foothills of the towering extinct Petra overlooking the entire city-the largest salt production area in the entire empire.
The two fortresses are around the west side of the city, and there is no other direction to approach the city, because under the fortress wall is a steep cliff of hundreds of meters high, and there is also a large famous all over the world. salt lake.
From the open car window, looking at the scenery flying past, Varus couldn't help but hold the railing tightly.
The carriages are full of people going to the city, their status is high or low, but without exception, at least have a decent identity, can move freely in the city without being locked in a salt well all day.
A group of tender coffee.
Varus mocked that these guys were all fat sheep with thin limbs, pale eyes, and pale faces, with thin skin and tender meat on their faces and hands.
The deep faces of the local residents were mostly roughened by the wind, and their eyes almost squinted almost against the salt wind blowing all year round.
In fact, most residents of Salt Lake City suffer from severe skin diseases around the age of forty. Their skin looks like dry and cracked parchment paper, and they are exposed to irritating air with salt for many years. The water is gradually absorbed.
Varus completely despised these privileged people who avoided the hard life on the ground. They probably never felt the wind blowing on their skin.
Varus glared at them occasionally, enjoying the restlessness he caused among these privileged people in dresses or robes.
Even though the carriages were very crowded, people still had enough space around Varus. He guessed that he was probably afraid of his uniform-although the uniform came from a corpse.
Varus was very happy to get extra space. As the train started to rise along the tracks to the station, the city gradually fell under his feet.
The scenery in front of him surprised him. From this perspective, the whole city was almost charming.
At this time the sails of the whole city are about to rise, and the gale is coming.
Each building here is attached with a thin sail, which can slide freely to protect the building from the worst salt wind.
Without proper protection, the devastating salt wind can turn newly built houses into ruins within a few years. Although this is known, there are still more than half of the cities that are allowed to gradually blow down. Anyway, it is better to rebuild on the ruins of old houses. It is cheap to properly maintain existing buildings.
Varus had no idea what was going on, but he still accepted it. After all, most of the destroyed houses belonged to less important slums.
From his point of view, as the train is getting higher and higher, the scene of tens of thousands of sails rising harmoniously produces a strange effect.
The orange-yellow sun's light shone on countless sails, and for a moment it looked like the entire city was burning, which made Varus shudder.
From the moment of discovery of the Great Salt Lake, the city spread like a growing tumor, going deeper into Yanyuan, climbing more hills, and pushing tens of kilometers further westward every week.
Varus was very grateful that he no longer needed to work in the salt field, otherwise he must have died long ago, leaving only a dehydrated dry skin sac that was discarded among other workers.
The Great Salt Lake is located at the bottom of the city, covering an area of ​​60,000 hectares, with a depth of nearly 300 meters. It is the inland lake with the highest salt content in the world. The ancient Aksum called it the Sea of ​​Tears, and it is said that it was formed by the war of gods. Of mythology.
From a long time ago in ancient times, this was an important salt-producing area, and several powerful dynasties were born.
After the Benedict Empire conquered this ancient land, the Great Salt Lake became an extremely important salt-producing area of ​​the empire. The high-quality salt it produces is not only of industrial and edible value, because of the special geographical environment, the salt produced here The unusually high purity is the key material for wizards to meditate and cast spells-it is said that high-purity salt can dispel the evils that haunt Hanan.
So even now that sea salt is popular, the "Tear Salt" produced by the Great Salt Lake is still irreplaceable.
Woo~~~!
In the sound of the whistle, the train stopped after a burst of shaking. Huge tentacles stretched out and clamped the outer layer of the car, and the doors opened under the steam and smoke.
People rushed out of the car, they could barely hide their repulsion when approaching or squeezing Varus, and Varus dragged his feet down the right aisle.
Lined up in a busy crowd, they were half-clamped and squeezed into a wide hall with a semi-circular roof, and there were more than a dozen passages around them constantly spitting live goods into.
Everywhere is full of vocals, almost everyone is wearing a long gown of different colors, from gray to dark brown, but also mixed with gray and purple and brown.
Seen through the transparent round top, you can see the mighty city wall of the fortress just blocking the city government.
These extremely thick walls are up to 15 meters high, reinforced with cement, and there are six high towers as turrets, and large-caliber artillery points to the sky.
Most of the ancient walls of Salt Lake City have been demolished, and the existing walls were built three years ago-after the break of Aswan Fortress by Ok, the entire province of Gramatia began to be fortified. Most The cities all have plans to build new walls, but for various reasons, only a few cities have completed these plans.
Because of its importance, Salt Lake City was among the first cities to complete the fortification, and its urban defense facilities are also the most complete.
"Let one let it! Let one let it!"
Thousands of servants, officials, and business owners joined the ranks. The city guards wore gorgeous blue half-body armor and watched the crowd slowly as they passed.
Only through this checkpoint can you enter hundreds of aristocratic mansions, shrines, office buildings or processing plants in the main urban area, such as a city in the city.
At the bottom of these buildings is a large power station ~ EbookFREE.me ~ which supplies the city's electricity-Salt Lake City is the earliest city in the province except Tyre to complete electrification.
"It's a queue again..."
With a sigh, Varus picked a team that seemed to move the fastest and started to line up, but he knew it would eventually become the slowest one.
He was ready to start a long wait.
"Head, are you sure that Xiami will succeed?"
On the side of the sparkling Great Salt Lake, a thin voice stood on the gravel, watching the distant city with a telescope.
Beside him, the dark-skinned, black-skinned chief has one eye. He is sitting on the stone, polishing a T-shaped dagger.
The lakeside accessories, led by their respective bosses, hundreds of farts are setting up tents and moving supplies.
Although they are still noisy, they are not as chaotic as ordinary assholes. On the contrary, there are some wearing white helmets looking at the entire team. Anyone who is too noisy will be kissed hard by the electric baton. And then throw it into the salt lake for a while.
"He will succeed."
One-eared and gentle statement, his voice was hoarse, and he didn't see the vulgarity of ordinary fart, and at the same time, the polished dagger was photographed in the sun.
The light reflected on the dagger made his eyes narrow instinctively, and then showed a satisfied smile, as if he could imagine the situation when it cut the enemy's throat.
"If the dried shrimps missed, all the dried shrimps knew that we were here, and we--"
One ear suddenly turned to face his deputy, blinking.
"I have already said that Shrimp will not fail, and Kundera boss will tell you what is wrong! Now take your boy and wait for the signal, that is what you should do."
"Yes Yes!"
