The city of Ainmar is very large, the nine urban districts together are larger than the total area of the Mage Country, and it is the first main city south of the Mage Country as the division point between the east, west, north and south of the main continent.

However, although the main city of Ain Maar is the first main city, no country dares to govern this city. This city stands in the gray area of the large six countries bordering the six countries, and everything in the city is consciously clear, even if it is a robbery and smashing on the street in the daytime.

I didn't know that I thought that there was an army staring at everyone all the time, but in fact, the armed forces of this city were less than eighty people. But these eighty people used to be the strong men of the famous side, and they were recruited by the city lord as city defenders after retiring. Wherever there is a bad incident or a major siege event, the defenders will appear there and then do their best to solve the incident quickly.

If the eighty defenders of the city can't solve the problem at once, if you want to ask the city lord to help, it must be at least a big man of the level of Levida Daystar.

However, this level of conflict has only occurred twice in the Dark Ages: the first time was when the blind declining powerhouses wanted to capture the place, but they were almost beaten to extinction by the city lord when they went out shopping, and after a thousand years, that race finally survived the Dark Ages and developed a family of nearly 100 people, and now they have a detour through Ainmar; The second time was much more innocent, a titan and two gods fought a battle, affecting a range of tens of millions of meters, and finally hit the territory of Ainmar without dying, the city lord taught them how to be a man, and afterwards extorted a "reconstruction fee" from the patriarchs of the two races, and the heavy money spent by the two races could buy a medium kingdom.

Later, the countries bordering him were frightened and took the initiative to cede a quarter of the territory to curry favor with the city lord and seek refuge; The city lord was not polite, he smiled and accepted the extra tens of thousands of square kilometers, and claimed that as long as he did not take the initiative to provoke a war around him, he would ensure that their royal blood would continue!

At that time, the funny scene was that when the land was ceded and the southern territory was changed, the territory ceded by two countries wrapped a very small principality into it, and there were no villages and shops on the left and right, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while. Later, it was the city lord who managed to relocate the entire small principality to the edge of his territory, so that the principality was not "parasitized" inside Ainmar.

Ain Mar City is not as old as the Mage Country, but its compatibility with characters and the territory it occupies is large enough for him to develop rapidly for another four or five hundred years. Perhaps, with such a terrible figure sitting in the city of Ain Maar, the city will have to wait another thousand years for it to fall.

Ain Maar had no gates, let alone walls, and the outermost outermost areas were farmland and houses; If you have to say, there are still large areas of idle and uninhabited areas outside the farmland, and as long as you step on this range, you will be considered to have entered the city of Ainmar.

However, many people now count entering the city after entering the complex, and the same is true for Asahi and them.

There are no city gates and city walls, and naturally there are no city gate guards who guard the city gates every day to collect oil and water and receive soft hands, everyone is very easy to enter the main city, as long as they do not trespass on private houses and infringe on the privacy and interests of others, even if the idle eggs are strolling around the streets, no one will care, at most they will look at you with neurotic eyes.

Of course, it is not that there are no bandit groups that have tried to guard one of the streets into the city and forcibly collect the entry tax and tolls, but you can guard one and not ten, hundred, or thousand, and there are so many streets in the city, can't I just take a detour? After returning to the city, inform the defenders of the city and let them clean you up.

Successfully stepping into the confines of Ain Maar City, Xu looked left and right, and asked a question that he had been entangled for a long time: "Didn't you say that a quarter of the country was ceded?" Why is it that the land is so big and there are so few people? Do those countries pick and choose the territory of no one to cede? ”

Victoria patted her on the shoulder and explained to Xu again: "It's true that they ceded the land, but they ceded not including the people, all the countries that implement the land cession order will take the initiative to recall their own people back to their own country, and then arrange new land for these people to live in." Only when a contract is signed to cede the land and bring the people will the people be ceded to others, and some countries themselves are already extremely poor in the treasury and cannot afford the relocation and resettlement costs of the people, so they will give up the people on the land to others, and usually the party who took the land will take the initiative to take in these abandoned people at this time. ”

Victoria's voice was very gentle, and Asahi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, what did Miss 100,000 still want to ask, and the priest who had been following behind squeezed his head into the middle of the two people, and added a few words to Victoria's words:

"But there are also kings in some countries who live in luxury, living all day long for pleasure, and collecting taxes from their people day and night; When the country is destitute by their own profligacy, they will cede the land to the surrounding countries in exchange for wealth, because the land of the people with them is cheaper than the empty land, so they sell the land and then abandon the people. However, there will be no more than five such cessions, and the country will either be destroyed or overthrown by its own people, and years later, when the country rises again, they will use military means to reclaim their lost land. ”

Annoyed, Victoria's elbow unceremoniously beckoned to the man's face, and the priest was also very alert, shrinking his head and tilting his head to dodge, and Victoria's elbow fell into the air.

Seeing that she couldn't hit the fight, Victoria didn't bother to commit violence anymore, so she could only teach her a verbal lesson: "Don't teach her some negative things, it's only been a month since Xu lost his memory, and the three views and good and evil are still in a state of chaos, and it will be troublesome if he gets his memory crooked." ”

The priest put on an innocent face: "What I'm saying is the truth, there are not ten or eight big countries that have had the same incident in history, isn't there a Heavenly Dynasty in the Far East Sacred Domain next door, which is full of human short-lived species, basically the same accident will happen once in two or three hundred years, so what Heavenly Immortal Sect and Lishui Sect have repeatedly taught and not changed, and now that dynasty is not alive and well." ”

Asahi was stunned, blinked, and asked again, "Victoria, is it true?" ”

Victoria had no choice but to push the priest aside.

"Don't listen to him, the Celestial Dynasty is a great empire for tens of millions of years, and it is the only country that has survived from the glorious century to the present, and it has naturally experienced prosperity and decline, but the imperial capital of the Celestial Dynasty is in an extremely dangerous position, full of poisons, and it is not easy to survive in it, and not many countries dare to ask for the territory it has cut."

The priest was unconvinced: "Blame me? ”

However, the two people walking in the middle of the group did not respond to him, because the two-day journey of their group through the small forest had arrived, and the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild was set up in front of them!

Should it be said to be worthy of the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild? This adventurer's guild is very different from the adventurer's guild in the business area of the academy, the adventurer's guild in the magic academy is just a European-style villa, the first floor is the hall, the second floor is the mission handover area, the third floor is the VIP room, and the fourth floor is the high-level staff office.

And here, the open door to enter is naturally the hall, the front desk, the service area, the additional adventurer repair area, the task bar, and the large open space, no one will doubt that this hall cannot be crammed with tens of thousands of people. Next to the wall of one-way transparent glass, the spacious large room contains some equipment that the Academy Adventurer Guild has not seen, which is provided for adventurers who want to become famous or for large groups of fifty or more people to observe the item identification room, and at the same time, after the identification is completed, it is also used for task handover or transaction implementation.

There are those who are willing to show off their results, and naturally there are those who like to be introverted, and in the deeper part of the building, no one will doubt that there are other appraisal rooms, more other rooms, and more other functions.

Of course, this was not enough to surprise them, perhaps because of the limited horizons of living in the Land of Mages, they had always thought that floating buildings could only be supported by magical shrines like the Land of Mages. I didn't expect to be hit when I went out now, the adventurer's guild doesn't know how big the territory is, there is almost no third floor, even the second floor is very rare, and more vertical buildings are built on an ultra-small floating island inside the adventurer's territory, and the floating city engine and energy crystal embedded at the bottom of the floating island can be clearly seen on the ground......

I heard that if you take a task of more than one silver coin in the adventurer's guild, the official will charge 1% tax, that is, as long as you take a task with a reward of 1 silver coin, the official will automatically collect 10 copper coins as an intermediary fee after the task is completed.

can afford the consumption of a floating city, compared to the magic academy adventurer's guild that can barely maintain its operation by taking on two tasks every day, god knows how much money this adventurer's guild headquarters makes......

But Asahi didn't care too much about these, as soon as she turned around, she was attracted by the dozen or so S-level annotation tasks on the taskbar, which were double S-level tasks, and even an old SSS-level task that had been hanging at the top for a long time, but it was undeniable that every task with S letters on the list was very conspicuous, and the high hanging, large characters, and grade letters were directly pasted in red next to the task and occupied a large number of positions, for fear that the adventurers who entered the door to receive the task would not be able to see it.

The previous few S missions Asahi felt that his adventure group could not be completed, and those who either recruited armed adventure groups to control the battlefield or participated in racial disputes that were won or lost.

Looking at it, the last S-class made Asahi's eyes light up!

Travel to the city of thorns in the Empire of the Dead to save the snatched princess from a mad dragon? There's a play! Yes!

Ah, that princess is still a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the Illuminati? There can be yes or there, although I don't know why I hate the Cult of the Illuminati, but the Cult of Light is not hated, a group of gentle cultists who believe in light and let the light bring them baptism are very few people who can hate it, and even the people of the Dark Elemental Church are not particularly competitive, probably only the Cult of the Illuminati, which is dominated by hawks and extremists, who hates the Illuminati Cult for stealing faith and looking at it everywhere.

“…… Sorry, your party is too low to participate in this large mission. ”

Asahi held the badge of the adventuring group and froze in place - a thunderbolt on a sunny day! (To be continued.) )
