If Prontra is the economic center of the Free Empire, then the imperial capital is undoubtedly the political center of the empire, and there is a saying that is true: "If you are not in Prontera, you don't know how much money you have, and if you are not in the imperial capital, you don't know how small your officials are." "The bigwigs in the center of the imperial power are all concentrated in the imperial capital, maybe you see a small vendor setting up a stall on the street of the imperial capital, maybe he is the nephew of the brother-in-law of the third uncle of a cabinet minister.

Therefore, if the emperor is not covered in the background, it is best not to offend people casually. Even if there is a backstage, if it is not hard enough, you have to weigh it when you offend people. If the backstage is hard enough, then you can go sideways, and of course, there are some people who should never be provoked. In the imperial capital, everyone knows which people should never be provoked, and where they must not be arrogant.

The imperial capital was full of towering high-rise buildings, which were different from Prontera's, perhaps a symbol of status, and various officials and nobles built their houses higher than the other. Of course, the tallest building is the emperor's palace, and it is estimated that no one dares to compare with the emperor. The land in the imperial capital was not 'private' like Prontera, but was entirely owned by the royal family, and the land occupied by officials and nobles had only nominal tenure and no ownership. It is said that this is also set by the founding emperor, as an official in the court, then the imperial capital still has a place for you, if you are unfortunately transferred, then you don't worry about the imperial capital, honestly do something outside.

Having said that, hundreds of years have passed since the founding of the Free Empire, but the enforcement of this provision has become less and less effective, and the land in the imperial capital can now be bought, sold and transferred, and the royal family will not interfere. But if once you are assigned, then sorry, your home will be confiscated. Therefore, once they have a premonition that they will be transferred, some officials will sell their houses in advance, so that they do not have to confiscate their family property, and they can exchange it for gold coins and take it away. Once the official estate is sold, the royal family will not expropriate it from the person who bought the land, and it is generally abandoned. But if your hunch is not accurate, just cry, don't want to buy it back without 2 or 3 times the price. Therefore, every time there is a major change in the personnel of the imperial court, it is the hottest period for land trading in the imperial capital.

Although the commerce of the imperial capital was not as prosperous as that of Prontera, it was also quite developed. Except for the land, the price is basically average, not as outrageous as Prontera. The reason is that there are not too many merchants in the imperial capital, and only a few large chambers of commerce are stationed in the imperial capital, responsible for the daily supply and demand of the imperial capital and the material needs of the royal family. Although the aristocracy was rich, they did not buy as low as the merchants, so the prices were basically normal.

In addition, the imperial capital is also a place where masters gather, 40% of the masters on the battle list are directly working for the royal family, and another 40% are related to the royal family or ministers. Another 60% of the high-ranking warriors were also concentrated in the imperial capital, serving the royal family and nobles. Although the mainland is a world where strength is respected, strength does not only refer to force, but also power and wealth are also a kind of strength. No matter how strong your force is, many things cannot be solved by force alone, and as long as you are a human being, there is a way to control you, not to mention that the masters of the battle list are not invincible in the world, force + power is the best partner!

Therefore, a powerful master generally has to find a powerful person as a backer in the imperial capital, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch. The political situation in the imperial capital is complicated, and if you want to remain neutral, you can't! Officials of various factions will fear that you will defect to their political enemies, so if you vacillate or want to stay out of the situation, you will be seen as a threat. A high-level fighter is likely to be an important weight on the scale, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the safety of an isolated master (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in., mobile phone users log in to ap., chapters more, please log in to 16k literature network to read!) is not guaranteed. However, most of the masters who came to the imperial capital to beg for a life understand this truth, even if they haven't made a choice when they first arrived, someone will soon throw an olive branch, and they can make a choice after weighing it.

The mid-level fighters are relatively much more ordinary, and it is not easy to defect to a good owner, and because of the large number of people, no one will really look at you without a little weight, so the fighting arena came into being. The so-called arena is a place where warriors compete in martial arts, where you can get an appearance fee for every game, at least to ensure a worry-free life, and most importantly, if you have a high winning rate, you will naturally have the power to recruit you. However, if you live a 'mixed' life in the arena, you may lose your life at any time, so don't try it casually if your strength is not good.

"Kiru, why did you enter the city like a bun, why didn't you get so excited in Prontera!" Harry grumbled helplessly, and as soon as Kiru arrived in the imperial capital, he looked around, his face full of excitement and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Prontra are copper-stained merchants, what's there to be excited about!This is the imperial capital, and the Imperial Knights are stationed here!Maybe I'll even meet the Knights' Captain, Master En'Boli!" Kiru spotted a pair of knights on patrol, grabbed Harry and ran there.

"Hey, stop me, just rush over like this, someone will sue us for assaulting the police!" Seeing Kiruti* and preparing to charge at the patrol, Harry hurriedly stopped.

"Look! Look, they're riding a thunderbolt!" shouted Kiru as if he had discovered a new world, drawing the eyes of everyone around. Luckily, Harry wore a hood to prevent him from bumping into Lilith, so no one saw him blush.

"Come on, come on, there's a griffin rider in the sky! Harry wanted to gagged Kiru's mouth.

"Where?" said Kiru, looking up at the sky, only to see a few clouds.

"Just flew away, you just watched the thunderbeast, and the griffin knight flew away in a moment!" Harry explained in a serious way.

Kiru had no doubt about him, looking up at the sky all the way, expecting another group of griffon knights to pass by. Harry breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally able to be quiet!

The two continued walking, and Harry was trying to find a place to stay first, when suddenly a man flew in front of him and fell in front of Harry and Kiru. Kiru, who had been looking up at the sky, was also shocked, and when he looked closely, it was a middle-aged man who looked like a samurai, with multiple sword wounds on his body at this time, panting heavily, struggling but unable to get up.

Harry looked at the place where the man had flown from, and it was clear to him. There are 5 big characters on the main 'door' of the building in front of it, "Imperial Capital Fighting Arena".

"Although you are not responsible for the death in the arena, you are not required to die in vain. If you don't have the strength, let's honestly go back and cultivate for a few more years. Said one of the samurai who still came out.

Kiru was probably doing something wrong with his knightly standard, glaring angrily, and he 'wanted to' speak, but Harry grabbed him with one hand.

"This uncle, I don't know what happened?" Harry didn't know what was going on, he wanted to 'figure out' the situation first, after so many years outside, he was no longer the impulsive kid he used to be, although he was strong enough to be impulsive now.

"Ahem!" the warrior spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a miserable smile: "I think I have been cultivating for 50 years, and I haven't 'touched' the 'door' threshold of level 6, I heard that it is good to cultivate by competing with masters more......! Here, even a level 5 warrior of my level can defeat me within 3 moves......" shook his head, "Originally, I wanted to rely on my strength to get ahead, but now it seems that it is better to go home and farm honestly." ”

Harry glanced at Kiru and seemed to complain about his impulsiveness. Kiru scratched his head and blushed in embarrassment, he couldn't complain about this thing, but others still spared his 'life'. 80% of the men in the mainland can practice martial arts or magic, but in the end, only 1/3 of them can rely on their strength to eat. First, the empire does not need such a large number of military personnel, since the unification of the southern continent, only the Holy Light Empire in the north is the fierce enemy. The rest of the small surrounding countries have basically surrendered. Second, the empire's agriculture, commerce, and industry still need a large number of personnel, so it is imperative to eliminate low-level warriors.

When the people in the arena saw Kiru, their eyes lit up, and they shouted: "That kid, are you going to sign up for the competition?

"I'm not interested in the game, I wonder if it's okay to watch the game?" Harry asked, shaking his head, to the man.

"Watching the game?" the man was a little strange when he saw that Harry was a magician, "buy a ticket to enter the stadium over there, 100 gold coins per person." ”

"Let's go, let's go inside. Harry beckoned to Kiru. The fringe forest and Jafen's life took up most of Harry's fugitive life, so there weren't many opportunities to really get in touch with the warriors' strength, and the arena should allow you to understand how the warriors fought.

"How can a magician be interested in so-called savage fighting?" the man muttered to himself.

Harry and Kiru bought tickets to enter, and the venue was full of people and was very lively. There is no competition in the ring for the time being, only a strong man nearly 2 meters tall is standing on it, and the commentator is introducing loudly.

"'Female' soldiers, gentlemen! This is the Hahu'er fighter, a level 6 fighter! He has won 8 consecutive victories, and I don't know who dares to challenge on the stage!" After speaking, he looked at the group of fighters in the ring behind him.

There are two kinds of fighters who come to the arena to participate in the competition, one is to sign a special contract with the arena to make a living from the fighters, generally call them fighters, most of these people, must obey the arena to arrange a certain number of battles every day. There is also a challenger, who does not need to sign a contract with the arena, and in addition to the fixed number of matches arranged by the arena, there are often some fighters who have won streaks to accept the challenge. Even if you're not a fighter, you can take part in the challenge on stage, and if you win, you'll be rewarded handsomely. Many powerful people like to send their subordinates down to play, and they will also use this **** entertainment.
