The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 351 Watergate City Priestela

After that, Zun Zun said goodbye and left.

He did not mention going to Watergate City, nor did he make any promises; Crusch did not mention the matter of Watergate City either, as it was their camp's business and it was not appropriate to involve others.

But Crusch or the Crusch camp also knew very well that Anastasia would not fail to invite Zun Zun, it was just that the reasons for persuading her to go there were different.

Therefore, both parties tacitly did not speak.

It took them ten days to get from the capital to Watergate City, and they were not in a hurry on the way. After all, they didn't expect Miklotov to just chat for a while, so they were very leisurely along the way.

During this time, Otto analyzed the current situation for Zun Zun, and finally came to the conclusion that he should just marry a candidate for the King's Choice.

"Why should I get married?"

"It's because your Excellency has done nothing at all!"

A year has passed since the King's Selection began. Apart from conquering the White Whale and assisting in conquering Sloth at the beginning, the Zun Zun camp has done nothing at all and is almost fading from the public's sight.

"Listen carefully, sir. You are the most special one among the candidates for the king's election. You did attract a lot of people with this gimmick at the beginning. Later, White Whale and Sloth also made them see your strength. However, you have disappeared since then and have not done anything at all. You will not be able to become the next king at this rate! More importantly -"

Otto collapsed and covered his head, shouting unwillingly: "As your knight, I became someone else's internal affairs officer. All my efforts have gone to waste. Can you understand my feelings!?"

He seemed annoyed with himself for helping Firut develop.

If a candidate for the king's selection wants to stand out, he must make remarkable achievements, or things that attract people's attention, which in modern terms is traffic, but Zun Zun did not seize this traffic.

Plus, since he started late, the only way to become the next king was to marry someone.

But Zun Zun didn't care. He didn't want to be a king in this world anyway, and he didn't care about power and fame.

“To be honest, I want you to choose Felt-sama, but Anastasia-sama is the best choice right now. Although Crusch-sama is not so prominent now, he still maintains his base. Priscilla-sama is just barely good enough, and Emilia-sama…”

Otto muttered.

I didn't expect that this guy would become a matchmaker for other candidates for the King's Choice, just like Miklotov.

We chatted all the way like this and nothing bad happened on the way.

In short, the three of them arrived at Watergate City safely.

To enter the water gate city of Pristera, one must pass through the main gate that controls the entrance and exit of the city.

The border between the Kingdom of Lugnica and the City Kingdom of Karalagi is connected by a river as vast as the sea, called the Tigraci River, and a city was built on the lake where a tributary of this river flowed into.

To enter the city, one must cross the bridge across the river, and then submit documents at a corner of the circular outer wall that protects the street, connecting the city's main gate to the outside world.

After arriving at the main gate, you will be given a registration form, which basically confirms your agreement to abide by the city law. The so-called city law is nothing more than not causing riots or not using magic without reason, etc.

Moreover, the carriages they drove also had to be strictly inspected, which took a lot of time.

"Only the entry and exit control is very strict. It is less and less like a water city and more like a water prison."

"You are speaking with the tone of someone who has little travel experience. For a traveling merchant, waiting for inspection like this is commonplace. It's very conscientious of you not to ask for it in your sleeve."

Otto recalled his miserable past as a peddler.

The so-called "putting some money into the sleeve" means putting some money in bribes, which is not a good thing.

"Maybe it's because our names were announced."

"…Not good. I'm getting more and more uneasy."

Zun Zun is a candidate for the King's Choice after all. When the prosecutor heard that he was coming to this city, he looked very conflicted. Maybe he was already brainstorming.

"Forget it, this is something Anastasia didn't convey. It has nothing to do with us."

"I wonder how panicked he will be when more candidates for the King's Choice arrive."

Otto is a bit mean.

Don’t mention it, Zun Zun is also a little looking forward to it.

After waiting for a while, Fram led the dragon carriage to meet the two, and the group moved towards the inner door in front of the main gate.

The inner door slowly opened, and the streets of Prishitra gradually appeared before our eyes.

The blue light is extremely dazzling.

Zun Zun squinted his eyes, and it took him a while to gradually adapt, and then he saw a beautiful picture.

The city structure is built in a circular shape. If you ignore its size, it is designed to be similar to the structure of a football stadium. The height difference increases as you get closer to the city center, and stone buildings of all levels are neatly arranged.

There are waterways flowing everywhere in the streets, and a particularly huge waterway - no, a canal divides the city into four parts from the center.

Blue city, city of water.

Otto, who was standing beside him, looked at Zun Zun, as if expecting him to react to this scene.

"what happened?"

"My Lord, don't you have any reaction when you see the Minato City?"

"...It is indeed eye-opening that this place is known as the Water City, but unfortunately I have been to another Water City before, so I am not surprised at all."

"Another Water City?" X2
Otto and Fram looked at each other.

Pristera is a very famous water city. If there is a water city like it, it is impossible not to know about it.

"Don't you believe it? Then I'll show you. The memory will appear."

"What's going on with this stupid magic!"

Otto couldn't help but scream when he saw the light screen appearing in front of him.

"Stupid magic? That's quite appropriate." Zun Zun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I learned this magic from Shimaki Yosuke. That guy could do it at will just by giving orders to the fairy spirit, so it was quite difficult to learn it, and what I learned was not quite right.

"One of the Yang Elemental Magic. Currently, I can only see my own memories, but I have grasped the thread. I will definitely be able to see other people's memories in the future."

"Seeing memories and stuff... this magic is too weird."

Although Otto and Fram had a lot to say about this magic, after seeing the even more buggy Reinhard, they were surprisingly receptive.

"Well, let's take a look at the water city in my memory, Alcanretia."

"Oh, this water city is great too!"

“Of course, it’s known as the city of hot springs and water. It’s quite famous in my hometown… provided it didn’t have the bad reputation of the Axis Cult.”

"Axis Cult?"

"Don't, don't say that!"

Zun Zun suddenly clapped his hands on Otto's shoulders, his eyes were red, and his tone and expression became nervous.

"Listen carefully, Otto. There are some things that you absolutely cannot say! That existence is a natural disaster, an existence that is even more terrifying than the Crimson Demons. You absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot mention it. Do you understand!?"

"oh oh……"

Otto foolishly agreed.

By the way, Zun Zun is from the Red Demon Clan, right? Is it really good to compare your own race with others, or is there something wrong with the Red Demon Clan too?

"Okay, okay, next, the Water Feather Pavilion that Joshua mentioned... he said Anastasia and the others will be waiting there, right?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed in advance. I will lead the way from now on."

Fram took the initiative to hold the reins.

When she got the dragon car back, she confirmed the direction and location with the prosecutor, and then the dragon car slowly headed to the streets of Priestela. On the slightly sloping road, the scenery that came in through the window bit by bit was pleasing to the eye.

At the same time, it was also discovered that the waterways in the Watergate City were more numerous and wider than ordinary roads, and the street structures were also built to coordinate with the waterways, so the land appeared to be very complicated.

just like--

"It's not like Alcanretia where they brought water to the town, it's more like they built a city on the vacant land of water."

"The structure of the Watergate City was built with waterways in mind, so the roads for pedestrians naturally bypass the waterways, or have to cross them."

Although it was a little inconvenient, seeing the boat moving forward unimpeded on the waterway, it seemed unexpectedly not that inconvenient.

"Come to think of it, this city seems to be divided into four parts by a huge waterway."

"Yes, Priestela is divided into streets called First Street, Second Street, Third Street, and Fourth Street by the great waterway in the middle."

"Hey Otto, where is that?"

Zun Zun pointed at the tall tower in the distance. Because it was in the center and was the tallest building, it looked very conspicuous and people couldn't help but look over there.

"That's the city's central hall. It's used for broadcasts. It's not a big deal."

"Yeah."

"Is your Excellency curious about that place?"

"Well, because I saw a huge magical power..."

His eyes were already slightly red.

Otto slapped his head and said, "I forgot that the Venerable Master had such a setting."

"What is setting?"

Zun Zun rolled his eyes.

At this time, the dragon carriage stopped and Fram's voice was heard.

"Your Excellency, we are here."

"Pretty fast?"

Get off the dragon carriage.

What came into view was an inn. Although the mix of Japanese-style buildings and buildings from another world was a bit abrupt, Zun Zun, who had seen it in Alcanretia, would not be surprised.

"——I thought it would satisfy you, but it seems that it did not succeed."

A gentle voice with a hint of loss came from behind.

I turned my head and met the light blue eyes that were looking at me from the other side of the fence.

Standing there was a beautiful girl wearing a white dress made of animal fur and an especially eye-catching fox fur scarf. Although the cold season had passed, her clothes remained the same as before.

A small body, long wavy lavender hair, a graceful and lovely face, and big round eyes that seem unfathomable.

That’s right, she was the one who invited Zun Zun to this city.

"Long time no see, Anastasia."

"Yes! Long time no see, Zun Zun! Welcome to Priestela, thank you for coming, and--"

She stepped forward and took Zun Zun's hand.

"Please marry me!"
