Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster Chapter 20: Arrived at the capital
Hill still had to negotiate the price of the goods with several store owners. Although I don't know how the player's experience is set up, I must be prepared to receive a large number of goods.
Herbs, food, meat and skins, mineral jewelry, all have to set the receipt price one by one, and leave a certain space for bargaining.
Hill asked them to calculate a receipt and compare it with Frank's caravan. The two places are so close, the price must be the same.
He finally looked at the inn. This concave 3-story house with more than 100 small rooms is the largest building in the village. The 5 maids sent by Hill were hired to take care of it. .
Every family in this village has a fixed job and land allotted, so they are considered rich free people.
Hilde told the hotel steward that if the undead come, don't panic no matter what happens.
If you don't have enough meat, you will give the undead quests, and there will always be people hunting.
Hill will come back after attending the coronation ceremony. If there is anything he can't handle, he will wait for him to come back. Although the undead are professionals, they will not easily do anything to ordinary people.
Hill felt that the stewards were quite calm. After all, Fran was a sorcerer and Hill was also an archmage. In the eyes of the natives of this world, such a backstage should be able to protect himself.
Hill also felt that, at most, his spirit was a little hit. That **** should still block some of the players' words and deeds that are too unusual.
It's best to wait for him to return before serving the player's extra spicy meal.
No matter how tangled Hill was, he was still carried by Frank and flew directly to the kingdom of Salar.
This is the first time Hill has entered the capital of Saral.
This city called Obastian is very magnificent. It is firmly guarded by three solid walls from the outside to the inside.
The outermost city wall is made of blue-black boulders.
The huge outer city of the capital is not like in the general fantasy novel, the outermost circle is a circle of slums, until it is close to the inner middle class.
How could the poor be allowed to live near the city walls? In the outer city of Obadistian, there is a huge military camp in each of the four corners. Surrounding the perimeter of the barracks are the families of officers and soldiers in the camp. Then there are the security forces responsible for public security management in the city, and their families form a barrier between the barracks and the civilian population.
In this city, people who are so poor that they cannot survive are extremely rare. This semi-slavery society will turn all the destitute into slaves. In this world, slaves are not owned by everyone. People without titles can only hire labor.
Then there are the middle and lower classes, craft makers of all kinds, merchants, mercenaries who serve officers and merchants. Various black forces also exist in this circle of people. The real oppressed poor people in this city actually live in places controlled by black forces such as gambling halls and brothels.
After that, the middle class. They have a certain amount of cultural knowledge and enough money to hire workers and open various shops and workshops. The junior professionals in the capital also generally live in this location, so this area is full of taverns and hotels. These people also constitute the outer huge business circle.
In the circle closest to the inner city wall, there are usually no-noble sons and relatives of the royal guards living in the family.
Even professionals, only those who are clean and well-documented, and who have lived in the capital for generations, are eligible to enter the Royal Guard.
To put it bluntly, most of the people who can enter the Royal Guard are the part of the noble children who do not have the right to inherit. But this at least appeases the vast majority of professionals living in the capital. They will never break the law easily for their descendants to become the Royal Guard.
The inner city wall is entirely made of obsidian, and the magic circle above it shimmers with light.
Few cities use obsidian for city walls. This is an expensive stone used on the border. Only the rich and powerful Salar who has the largest gold element mine on the continent will use it.
The outermost circle of the inner layer is the building complex of the major temples. None of these temples, which are called public service, dare to be placed in the outer city. Even the church, only the Lord of Justice and the Goddess of Spring Water dare to set up in the civilian area. How can the really poor and oppressed people have the ability to enter the inner city through the inner city guard?
Then comes the aristocratic district. The dukes and uncles, plus a lord, are distributed in the palace for 2 weeks in a circular arc according to the rank from low to high.
In the inner city there is a wide central avenue leading directly to the palace. One thousand meters before this road, the various shops on both sides basically belong to the great nobles, and within one thousand meters near the palace, all the shops belong to the royal family.
The entire palace rests on a bed of gold ore. In this stone city, the white palace complex is particularly eye-catching. On the outer wall of the palace separated by a moat and nobles, the magic circles engraved with mithril on the white rock are particularly eye-catching.
The palace where the king lives is at the very center of the pentagram magic circle. The tip of the pentagram is a magic tower controlled by 5 mages. In the two places where the elements converge to the left and right of the king's residence, there are two legendary magic towers.
The entire palace plus the magic tower is actually used to suppress the elemental tidal vortex formed by the elemental mine.
It is said that when it was mined, the elemental tide formed a huge vortex, and several legendary mages worked together to suppress it. In order to mine this kind of mine, the legendary mages directly entered the element world to communicate and negotiate with the gold elements, and finally used mithril to build a palace community. This is probably the most expensive palace in the world.
Hill has read various books about the founding of Salar since he was a child, and is full of curiosity about this palace. This time I finally got to see it with my own eyes. Hill begged Frando to let him see the city, and Fran carried him noncommittally over the inner city gate.
Flying is prohibited above Obastian's inner city. Frank, who had given Hill half an hour, finally landed at the gate of the inner city impatiently.
Hill is actually quite satisfied. Not to mention the outer city, no matter how prosperous it is. This big city of western-style buildings cannot get the attention of a modern person.
The inner city is different, with all kinds of exquisite temples with different styles attracting Hill's attention. These magnificent buildings are colorful, majestic and majestic.
Beyond the Temple District is a gorgeous aristocratic residential area. The elegant and various manors are exquisitely designed, prosperous and dreamlike, picturesque, delicate and profound, as if they were in a fairy tale world.
Well, Hill thought: it's a fantasy world, too. No wonder Adrian doesn't think the town he designed is beautiful, only the water system is worthy of praise.
Frank impatiently told Adrian to watch over the wandering Hill and walk into the city gate.
The noise caught Hill's attention.
Even Flan stopped: The undead are here!
The inner city guards didn't seem to realize that these women in frivolous clothes were high-level undead professionals.
In their flirtatious tone, they told them not to enter the noble district to seek business.
Adrian asked suspiciously, "Can't they see the names on the undead's heads?"
Hill asked: "Why are the guards not professionals?"
Adrian said: "Can only professionals see it? There is no place for knights to guard the city gate!" Faran said: "Their names are elemental changes, not how professionals can see it!" /
He asked Hill: "What about the clothes?"
Hill looked at the exquisite short dress and choked: You might as well wear armor and mage robes!
He calmed down and said, "All of them are professionals, and they are probably used to wearing light clothes. Aren't elves used to wearing short skirts and shorts?"
Fran frowned and said, "It's normal to wear less clothes in the forest, and elves wear a lot of clothes when they go out!"
Hill can only answer: "The undead never care about the thoughts and opinions of others."
Flange can only acquiesce and ask Adrian to deal with it. There were many onlookers, all of whom seemed to want to see how the undead would treat these guards, but no one went up to relieve the siege.
Fran is not in the mood to wait.
It's a pity that those undead girls finally understood the vulgar meaning of the guard's words~IndoMTL.com~ Several guards were burned by the fireball that suddenly appeared. Screaming, they dropped their weapons and covered them with their hands, and several earthen walls trapped them.
Hill heard a female voice: "The **** is pretty white."
The onlookers were silent, and no one dared to make a sound. Even the wildest adventurer women are not so sturdy.
Adrian stopped and walked back to them: "Hill, did you do this when you went to see it?"
"Didn't you go?"
"At that time, they were all wearing sackcloth. They hunted every day, built houses and farmed the land. Although they often quarreled, I never saw this..."
"When I went, they were also very busy. William's men were very polite to them, and they were not provoked. However, the fights and curses between them were brutal. Girls also swear."
"Adventurers can also swear, regardless of gender. But they will never do it. Few men dare to do it."
"Are there any mages among the adventurers? Their identities give them confidence."
Adrian thought for a while: "That's true. But are all undead girls so tough?"
Hill was silent, sneering in his heart: Who cares about the image in front of the NPC.
Fran suddenly said, "There's a pastor! That's all right? That one doesn't care about believers!"
Hill can only continue to beep in his heart: Nurse is just a profession.
These few female undead squatted on the top of the earthen wall, completely ignoring the crowd of onlookers. They pointed at the timid guards inside, and whispered to each other about their body appearance.
At this time, a group of knights ran out of it. The leader shouted: "Ladies! Have some sympathy!"
Adrian almost laughed: "William's bodyguard."
