"The thousand-year-old capital ......" Regner looked at this majestic and vicissitudes of the capital, and then muttered in some shock.

He had long heard of how majestic and prosperous a city had been a thousand-year-old capital, but when he actually saw it, Regner realized that the rumors did not exaggerate the city. On the contrary, Regner even felt that the rumored rhetoric was not enough to describe the city's shock.

In terms of land area alone, the thousand-year-old capital should be second to none in the world. The city is more than fifty square kilometers in terms of the area surrounded by the city walls alone, which is 1.7 times the area of Meteorite City on the Eastern Continent and about twice the area of Melindell, the imperial capital of the Hawke Empire. Its walls are also towering, much higher than the tide city that Regner had climbed.

Strange to say, when Regner saw the city. He inexplicably began to think about how to attack the city. Although he did not receive any systematic military training, and he was not gifted in commanding marches and battles. But he has also learned a lot of military common sense, intentionally or unintentionally, in the past few years.

Consideration is given to the height and thickness of the castle walls, the population of the castle, the fortifications of the castle, and various other information. Ragner came to the conclusion through a rough estimate that it was almost impossible to conquer from the outside, at least with the 200,000 troops currently possessed by the Hawke Empire, if Maloret and Kevin, who had been missing, at least with the 200,000 troops currently possessed by the Hawke Empire. The only way to do it...... It seems that there is only a siege. According to the information in his hands, Regner estimated that even if the siege did not take five to ten years, he was afraid that it would not be able to be contained.

Thinking of this, Regner also understood that although the two empires seemed to be on the same page, it would be very difficult for either side to destroy the other. This is a war of regions and cultures, and the destruction of countries may not be too difficult, but the culture of the North and the South will not die out because of this. As long as there are cultural differences and regional differences, then differences will still exist. And as Mallolet said, as long as there is disagreement, there must be strife, and strife is the seed of war.

"Some people are afraid of war and hate it, and some people are eager for it...... Humans are really different from other races, we ...... Cheap enough......" Regner exclaimed, and then walked into the thousand-year-old capital with his head down.

As the intelligence said, it may be that the arrogance of the southerners is at work, and the precautions of the thousand-year-old capital are not particularly strict. Regner reckoned that he could easily blend in, even if he wasn't easy.

Regner was not particularly anxious about this operation, anyway, he had already been delayed for more than ten days on the way to the thousand-year-old capital, so it was better to go around the city for two days first and experience the customs of a foreign country.

So, Regner found a hotel that looked relatively clean and was relatively inexpensive. When he was in the area of the battlefield before, Regner set himself as a wandering mercenary, but when he arrived in the thousand-year-old capital, Ragner set his disguise as a rural youth who came to the thousand-year-old capital to look for opportunities. After all, mercenaries are also a group of people who should not be underestimated, and this identity is still easy to attract attention in a sensitive city like the thousand-year-old capital.

In the days that followed, Regner spent his days wandering around the thousand-year-old capital, in addition to inquiring about Sartre.

And in just a few days, Regner also saw the cunning and indifference between people hidden behind the prosperity and vicissitudes of the thousand-year-old capital.

Although it has been less than three days, Regner has been deceived twice, cheated by the store four times, and once seemed to have inadvertently offended a low-level mage. As a result, in order to avoid his identity being exposed, Regner had no choice but to be pressed to the ground and beaten without resistance. But fortunately, it was a low-level mage, although this guy seemed arrogant, but he didn't dare to really make people out of any problems. So Regner was kicked twice and punched twice with his head in his hands.

Despite these not-so-pleasant experiences, Regner felt that his luck was very good. Because through these two days of inquiry, he also knew that Sartre would hold a five-day banquet in his mansion the day after tomorrow, which seemed to be to show off the set of equipment he had asked for from Kielron.

Moreover, because of the shortage of manpower, Sartre had to recruit a few temporary workers with quick hands and feet to help. It is said that the treatment is not bad, and during the banquet there is food and accommodation (of course, all leftovers from the banquet), and after the completion of the banquet, everyone can have a reward of 50 silver coins.

When Regner heard the news, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, he really dozed off and gave me a pillow! I didn't know where you hid those things, but I didn't expect you to take them out yourself, and by the way gave me a reason to enter your house. Oops, oops, that's so sweet!

......

Kilrohn had many children, and hundreds of his grandchildren. Therefore, although some princes and grandsons have the blood of the imperial royal family, this identity does not bring them much convenience. Some of them live on the periphery of the thousand-year-old capital like ordinary civilians, and some understand that there is no way out in this thousand-year-old ancient capital with a royal signboard, some of them choose the military, and some choose to run to the local area to become the emperor of the soil.

If calculated according to the succession order, Sartre's situation should have been similar to the kings and grandchildren mentioned above (except for the top ten in the succession order, the twenty-three kings and grandsons like Sartre are actually not much different from the thirty-three and forty-three kings and grandchildren).

But I have to say that Sartre's luck is good, because his mother is the daughter of the president of a large chamber of commerce in the ancient capital of thousands of years. Although her mother's energy was not enough for Sartre to participate in the competition for the throne, it was enough to feed him for the rest of his life.

That's why Sartre can own a mansion in an area with a good geographical location in the thousand-year-old capital. Moreover, the Stoke Empire's finances have been tight in recent years, and Kilron has reluctantly borrowed a lot of money from the large and small chambers of commerce in the thousand-year-old capital. Because of this, Kilron occasionally fulfills Sartre's small wishes. And Regner's set of equipment was taken by Kilron to show off to Sartre.

Oh, and of course, the cunning Kilron naturally didn't plan to give it directly to Sartre. He himself is also a level nineteen magician, and he still knows how much Regna's equipment is worth. He estimated that he could squeeze twenty or thirty thousand gold coins from the set of equipment sent by David, and Sartre was just the first person he squeezed.

No, Sartre, who got the equipment, also took every opportunity to show his collection to others. He holds an exhibition of his collection almost every six months, and this time, Regna's equipment is his main exhibit in this exhibition.

On the day of recruitment, Regner got up early in the morning, because he was afraid that he would miss this opportunity, so it was naturally better to go there early.

But even so, when Regner came to the recruitment location opened at the back door of Sartre's mansion, there was already a queue of more than twenty meters long. This made Regner sigh with a black line on his head, whether in the south or in the north, the competition for employment is really the second prince of the empire (Alexander)!

However, the housekeeper in charge of the review did not simply recruit temporary workers on a first-come, first-served basis. He briefly questioned each applicant, and then eliminated the unsatisfactory ones.

"There should still be a chance. Regner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. But it didn't take long for him to laugh again, what was he nervous about this kind of thing? Even if he didn't succeed in the job, what did it matter if he tried to get in? It was just that it was more dangerous to escape, but as long as the Stoke people were not fully prepared, he was still more than ninety percent sure that he would escape with minor injuries.

Just as Regner was waiting a little boredly, a person not far away caught his attention.

It was a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old with a long pale golden ponytail, her hair color was very similar to that of Innieris, and although her face was not as beautiful as Enilis, it was already above average, and she was a lovely little girl.

It is worth mentioning that this little girl not only has a similar hair color to Inniris, but also has a similar figure to Inniris, both of them are thin and small, and even her breasts are about the same...... At this time, she was carrying a cloth bag larger than her upper body, and the original dark blue fabric had been washed white, but it still looked clean. It's just that it looks very incongruous on her back to a thin girl like her. Regner was afraid that she would fall to the ground with one backward fall.

And the reason why Regner noticed her was not because the little girl was similar to Innerys. It's because she's being bullied.

Probably because of her small stature, this little girl seems to have been cut in line by other applicants since the beginning of the queue. Because they were afraid that they would run out of places, they wouldn't be able to get this errand. Therefore, almost all the candidates are in a hurry to get the housekeeper to come for an interview, and they naturally dare not blatantly break the rules of others and squeeze forward. But the small actions at some point are nothing.

So every one of the recruits standing behind the little girl quietly leaned forward with their bodies, and when they felt that they were in a similar position, they would slap a sideways little stumble as if they were not standing firmly, and then they would stand up straight, and they would somehow come to the little girl.

And the little girl seemed to know that she didn't have much right to speak, so every time she was squeezed to the back, she would look at the casual guy in front of her quite aggrievedly, and then pursed her lips and kept silent.

And this submissive attitude seems to have fueled the arrogance of other applicants. Later, the little girl seemed to finally get tired of it, and she tried to reason with the others. But her pitiful appearance had no deterrent effect at all, and even on a few occasions before she could say a few words to the person in front of her, the person behind would rudely pull her back, and then rush in front of her like lightning. It's so fast that even Regner doesn't react!

"Nima's body is also against the sky! You can also teach me how to do it when you have time?" Regner couldn't help but start complaining in his heart, such a long line, dozens of people, both men and women, were actually bullying a teenage girl here? Hey! This person from the Stoke Imperial Capital didn't expect to be so shameless!

Probably because the little girl and Innellis resembled in appearance, Regner became more and more angry when he saw this scene. And, it didn't take long for the little girl to be squeezed in front of her.

"That...... Please...... I really need this job......" The little girl thought she was coming for Regner when she saw her snorting face, and she said to Regner in a pleading tone, tears already rolling in her dark blue eyes.
