Chapter 431
When the team actually reached under the high wall, Loren really got a glimpse of the whole picture of Imperial Capital.
Although Golovin is obviously a capital city modeled on Niederhogg, with magnificent white stone walls and towering towers, it does not have the magnificence of the giant dragon king city. The sacred, but more magnificent.
Niederhog is a city in the clouds isolated on top of a glacier, while the magnificent Golovin is surrounded by hills and fertile soil.
Since the high wall, the team traveled for nearly ten miles before reaching the north gate of Imperial Capital; along the way, there are large and small markets and all kinds of pedestrians in various dresses, one by one The shops are almost open to business on the city wall, and large and small signs are hung on the trunks and walls on both sides of the road.
Taverns, hostels, shops, markets, buildings, casinos...the dense crowds are slowly surging, people are crowded, the little wizard and Isaac sitting in the carriage are already dumbfounded , Looked at this scene in disbelief.
"I, we shouldn't have entered the city gate yet?" Isaac swallowed hard with a face of incomprehensibility, and his brows twitched constantly: "How do you feel that the person I saw today... I've seen more in my life!"
"As expected of Imperial Capital...is it already so prosperous just outside the city?" Ai Yin's expression is really looking forward to it, looking dizzyingly at the stream outside, full of loads Looking at the cargo’s carriage, I couldn’t help but sigh:
"It's really unimaginable, how many people live in Golovin?"
"If you want to count the entire Imperial Family territory, In the words of West Sacrament...Almost three million people; but in Golovin City, it should be between 500,000 and 800,000, which is not fixed."
Sitting next to them The gray pupil replied absent-mindedly, still wiping the sharp saber in his hand: "And Isaac just made a mistake - strictly speaking, we are now in Golovin."
"En?" Isaac, who was unhappy, hugged his shoulders.
Lu Sien suddenly laughed ironically: "In the words of those noble lords, the empire is Golovin, and Golovin is the empire—the order of Golovin is the empire. Order."
"Those who are the poorest, tenants, poor people, vendors, and outsiders of various estates, are not eligible to have a place within the high wall, so they can only live in Imperial Capital Near the outskirts of the city;"
"Then there are ordinary citizens, most of whom have a stable job-the boss of the tavern, the priest of the church, the grassroots officials of the noble house, the wizard apprentice, the blacksmith, Mercenaries...and so on, can live within high walls."
"There are also differences in the city...Various guild bases, large and small churches, wizard Academy, little nobles...These are empires. "The mainstay" can be regarded as between the noble class and the commoner class, right?"
"Finally...the luxury mansions and palaces surrounding the core hills of Golovin, where the land of Western Sacrament lives. The most powerful and wealthy prominent nobles in the world-only compare financial power and authority, and some of them are not even under the dukes and the consuls of Eboden!"
shook the head, gray pupil The teenager sighed softly: "This is the'order' of Imperial Capital, a huge pyramid with obvious levels!"
"Wait...I'm almost dizzy with what you said." Isaac rolled the eyes with an impatient look:
"Simply make it simple, where are we going?"
The gray-eyed boy who has long been used to this guy is just crooked He tilted his head and pointed behind him: "His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion will definitely go to the Sky Dome on the hills of Golovin."
"As the follower of us, it should be Arranged in the Imperial Family Palace-usually the envoys sent by the duke and the Imperial Family confidants are treated like this; or just like the foreign envoys, in the courtyard of the Celestial Palace; but generally impossible."
After falling, the little wizard who was faintly aware of something turned his head and said, "You... why do you seem to be familiar with this place?"
"When I was very young, I came here once." Lu Sien suddenly darkened his eyes, but still managed to squeeze out a smile:
"And...a place like Golovin, it’s impossible to forget it once I visited it, right?"
Isaac, who disapproves very much, just shrugged his shoulders...he who has seen the giant dragon king city is already quite ridiculous about such a magnificent city. ; Ayn was very curious, and even had a faint expectation:
"I heard about it when I was in Eboden. The alchemy of the Imperial Family wizard Academy in Golovin is the cream of the whole empire. of the crop, even the nine-pointed star wizard tower is a lot inferior...Will you be able to visit it when your Royal Highness Brandon's visit is over? "
The little wizard still remembers that the alchemist of the Melting Academy said that he was even more advanced than the "Earthshaker". The pride of empire alchemy, the whole world cream of the The forging hammer of crop is in this Academy of Imperial Capital!
The Academy in Furnace Town has already stunned her, so bring it up a level to the Imperial Family wizard Academy in Golovin. …What kind of scene will it look like?
Visit? The gray pupil frowned slightly: “This…it’s hard to say. Although it’s the Academy under the Wizard Tower in name, it’s actually the only Wizard of the Academy. Responsible for the Imperial Family and most of the research and work undertaken by Legion and the Imperial Family. "
"Although the presence of His Royal Highness Brandon is not impossible, but...it should not be easy. "
"That's right, besides, it's just alchemy. Isaac "helped" beside him.
The expressionless little wizard gave him a pouting look: "...what do you mean?" "
"A few minutiae, irrelevant, boring, trivial... How many more do you want me to say?" "Isaac "pu chi" almost laughed out:
"The'wizard' Academy composed of a group of alchemists, think about it, it's boring... and I seriously doubt that based on their intelligence, Can you really spell out the word'wizard'! "
"Isaac · Grantham..." Ayin of gnashing teeth collapsed word by word: "You may not find out, but I am also an alchemist!" "
"And I also admire this! Ayn Rand, you are my friend, and I will never deliberately slander a friend. "
Isaac looked towards her very seriously: "even more how to be able to achieve results in such a boring, troublesome and trivial business, in itself proves that you are amazing! "
"..."
Regardless of Big Dipper Turns and Stars Move, time has passed, this guy will always make others want to kill him!
The gray-pupil boy sighed, leaning against the carriage with his head in his hands, immersed in the scene when he and his father came to Golovin as a child.
Following the road through the city gate, the entire group followed. This "Great Pyramid" heads to the core of the Imperial Capital; along the way, it continues to pass by the old and new aristocratic residences, large and small theaters, markets, churches, baths, arenas, etc.
until the end of the day In the west, when the evening was approaching, the whole team squeezed through countless turbulent crowds and finished the last section of the road.
The Sky Vault, which was isolated on the hill, was already in sight.
……………… Stepping on the hard stone and brick floor, the prince who came down from the carriage took a long, deep breath, looking at the imposing manner of the magnificent palace with more expressions How twitchy is the twitch:
"Um... the sky palace. "
"Still...I'm back. "
The little priest who was walking in front, Webber got off his horse and stood respectfully in front of Brandon: "His Royal Highness, Eckhart II, your father, is already in the main hall. We have been waiting for you all day. "
"Your Majesty, he... is looking forward to your arrival. "
Not far from the long stairway, you can already see fully armed guards filed out from above, holding shields and long halberd on both sides of the stairway, "respectfully welcome" this far away His Royal Highness the prince on the way home.
"Well...I have felt it. "Suddenly, Brandon's face showed a child-like smile, and he glanced at his wizard advisor behind him with a smile:
"Wait a little while, I should be back soon! "
The little priest on the side didn't say anything, but stood with Loren, watching the prince, who was "clustered" by the guards in the center, step by step and walked towards the sky that resembled the giant dragon king city. Palace.
