C370 Harrogass(2)

"Look." Anya pressed on my shoulder and pointed forward with her right arm. "That is the pride of Arreat. Do you see that?"

I looked in the direction Anya pointed. There was a huge black shadow standing on the city square. It should be a huge statue or a monument. "Is it the monument of the undying king?"

"No, it seems like you were taken away from Arreat before you could remember. That is the hero of the holy war, Zhang Loong! Don't tell me you don't know about Zhang Loong."

My statue? My chest was suddenly filled with strange emotions. The same statue of Talitha was erected in City of Light, but the domineering look that the statue had imagined out of thin air made me not know whether to laugh or cry. The people of the Arreat actually erected a statue for my tree tablet? I am the most heinous criminal in the Arreat.

"Why isn't it the statue of the undying king? Isn't he the god in the hearts of the people of Arreat?"

"I don't know. Legend has it that this statue was designed by Suk himself. Over the past two hundred years, Zhang Loong had become the spiritual symbol of Harrogath. In Harrogath, Zhang Loong's reputation is no less than that of the Immortal King. The statue of the Immortal King was at the peak of the Mount Arreat. There weren't many people who could go on a pilgrimage. However, Zhang Loong's statue was right in front of the city gate. Anyone could admire it. When I was young, I often played under this statue. No one would forbid us from coming into contact with it. Therefore, we have a clearer understanding of Zhang Loong's image." Anya said.

Suk made a statue for me? I felt a warmth in my heart. Suk's attitude towards me escaping from the training camp might not be the same as what I saw in Hardell's illusion. That damned old man, Hardell, ever since he found out in the illusion that Suk lived a life of humiliation because of me, I was often unhappy. But now, it seems like Suk isn't a narrow-minded person.

"Do you want to pay a visit to the legendary figure of the tribe?" Anya smiled.

"Oh, oh." My mood is very strange. Although I don't feel that I am that great, I am still a bit curious as to what Suk has molded me into. Suk is so familiar with me, so I don't think he will make me look very different.

We rode our horses to the statue of the peerless hero. The statue was about 30 meters tall, and under the illumination of the lights, the outline of the statue could be vaguely seen. My statue didn't have a flamboyant posture, and stood very straight in the holy armor. Both of my hands held the war pike up and down, looking straight ahead.

"How is it? Zhang Loong's image is very easy to get close to." Anya jumped off the horse and looked up at the city symbol of Harrogath.

Suk really understands me. I am always like this, silly and silly, without any imposing manner.

"Do you feel that his face is very similar to yours?" Anya asked, "Seeing your face after your skin turns black, I feel that you look a little familiar, but you are much thinner than him."

"Ha, how can I look like a great hero? You really know how to joke." I laughed dryly. It turned out that the reason Anya looked at me strangely wasn't because I was so handsome.

" It's not a joke, it really looks like it. In Harrogath, there would often be dramas about the hero Zhang Loong. Perhaps it would be very effective for you to perform. It's a pity that you don't look strong enough. " Anya said very seriously.

The streets of Harrogath were filled with people. I was surprised to find that most of the people here came from different places. It seems like Arreat has more civilization than before. In my era, there were almost no foreigners.

"When did Harrogath allow foreigners to live here?" Regarding the history of my hometown, I can't help but want to make up for the blank memories I had for the past two hundred years.

"After the patriarch of the Suk built the Harrogath, he implemented many new policies. He encouraged trade and foreign people to bring new technology. Encouraging cultural exchange, encouraging the rise of literature, encouraging diversity of occupations. Even encouraging intermarriage. Ever since the implementation of the new policy, Harrogath has been flourishing day by day. In the past, the life in the Arreat was very monotonous, almost like a primitive barbaric tribe. Ever since the construction of the Harrogath, our life has become very colorful. Therefore, the reputation of Suk in the history of the Arreat has also been very high." Anya said.

I smiled. Indeed, Suk did not disappoint me. Although he could not change the inexorable law of the Immortal King, his hard work had at least made the civilization of Arreat take a big step forward.

"Look, there are many people listening to stories over there. Let's go over and take a look." Anya pushed me, not caring if I was willing or not.

"Anya, you are back. If we have time, let's bet a few rounds." Many people greeted Anya warmly when they saw her. It seemed that Anya was indeed very successful in Harrogath.

Anya smiled and made a shushing gesture. She pulled me to sit behind the layers of people. People sat on the ground. That kind of leisure was something that did not exist in my era. A bonfire was lit in the middle of the crowd. Arreat was located in the northernmost plateau. Summer had just passed, and the weather at night was already somewhat cold. The person who told the story was an old man with white hair. He did not look very strong. Perhaps he had never been to the dark training camp in Arreat, but under Suk's new policy... Professions allowed relatively free choices. This old man did not look like a hunter or a farmer. Instead, he looked like a storyteller. This could be considered Suk's good deed.
