About a thousand years ago, humanity was once united, when the incomparably powerful ancient empires ruled over all of humanity and entire continents.

But the answer to the sudden split is now unknown, and suddenly, rebellions arise, rulers are abolished, kingdoms that once glorious and shining the whole world have collapsed, and ancient empires have died. On top of her wreckage, one nation after another was born, flourished, divided, and perished, but there was no longer a figure who could dominate the world with his domineering spirit. Mankind has gradually divided from a unified and civilized empire into a variety of countries, forming different nations, producing different languages, large and small kingdoms, with many local lords, and constant wars.

In such a world, only power is the truth, and culture is of no use. Brilliant ideas were forgotten, magnificent ancient buildings were in ruins, and all sorts of books and manuscripts were burned to ashes. Almost all of the mages' writings have been lost, and only a few relevant documents have been preserved, which can give a glimpse of the splendor of antiquity. Since then, history has become legends, and legends have become myths. Hidden in the woods are intricately carved ruins, which may be buried with treasures from the past – the empire that once ruled the continent has fallen, leaving behind a vast number of ruins for adventurers to explore.

But there was a man named Tovel, who was the founding emperor of the current empire, who became emperor ten years after the army was raised, and swept the world in fifteen years. He was an almost perfect person, who thought and did what he thought and did openly, and was dignified and virtuous, and soon unified most of the human territory and established the current Holy Empire.

Even after his death, the empire he built survives to this day.

The imperial capital of the empire is a very large city, after years of development, the imperial capital has seven districts, the smallest commercial district, if you want to cross, you have to walk for half an hour, covering an area of about two square kilometers.

Of these seven districts, the most conspicuous is the residential area of the aristocracy, which is mainly occupied because of the pleasure facilities of the aristocracy.

Some people even have a botanical garden in their backyard because of their love of plants, which covers an area of about tens of thousands of square meters, which looks exaggerated.

But this is not outstanding at all in the aristocratic district, and there are many bigger ones than this.

However, the royal palace was not in the aristocratic quarters.

It is a single district, the Royal District, which is larger than the entire aristocratic district combined.

The entire imperial palace, covering an area of about four square kilometers, ranks fourth in size among the seven districts of the imperial capital.

There were about 10,000 people living in it, and except for the royal family, which was only thirty or forty people, the rest were all royal servants.

The interior of the palace is extremely luxurious, graceful and luxurious, magnificent courtyards abound, pay attention to the style at the same time, but also dotted with pavilions, pavilions, halls and pavilions, lakes, rivers, mountains, and forests, like a small world of its own.

On the square in front of the palace, there is a golden statue of Toville the Great, the founder of the original empire, and when you go inside, there are banquet halls, concert halls, ceremony halls, galleries, and even farmland, flower fields, and even pastures and stables.

The servants and maids walked through the buildings, maintaining the daily routine of the palace, and the Praetorian Guards held their heads high, proud of their ability to defend the royal family.

In the very middle of the royal quarter, there is a grand and luxurious hall with a solemn royal coat of arms.

In front of the main hall, there are different shapes, but all are lifelike, majestic and majestic statues, the base of the statue is engraved with the life of this statue, look closely, all are the statues of the emperors of the past dynasties.

Under the gaze of the statues of the emperors of the past dynasties, walk up the high marble steps and enter the main hall, where the emperors worked.

Carpets of golden velvet, resplendent halls, heavily armed mages and knights guarded the Emperor's side, and giant crystal chandeliers hung over, in which the light of runic energy flowed.

The Emperor sat in the only seat in the hall, his figure standing very small under the huge glow throne behind him, but it seemed to melt into that light, and it was extremely majestic.

On top of the grand hall, a man who looked like a nobleman walked up, knelt respectfully before the brilliant golden light, and presented a document.

The guards next to him took the documents, passing them one by one, one by one, one by one, and finally presented them to the golden light.

"Your Majesty, over there in the Hall of Radiance, in Larante of the Star Maple Kingdom, something went wrong, and the profits handed over were almost half less, I heard that the person in charge over there died......"

"There are only two places in the Star Maple Kingdom, Larante City and the National Capital, there are two Glowlight Halls, one of which has not paid profits in the recent period, according to the information from the local passing Imperial General, that is, His Excellency the Earth Dragon, an imperial nobleman named Lucian, and an Imperial knight of level 8 have stirred up some storms in the local area, affecting the local revenue, and reducing the overall income of the Hall of Glows by about 0.2%." The nobleman reported.

The guards and attendants were motionless, like statues.

The emperor did not give a direct reply, so after the report, the nobleman slowly retreated and left, facing the emperor until he withdrew from the main hall, and then dared to turn around and leave.

The emperor did not give a reply, but he did not dare to ask for the emperor's reply, as long as the message could be delivered.

Thinking of this, this nobleman couldn't help but make up what was going on in the Hall of Radiance.

You know, it's the Hall of Glow -

The empire's largest chamber of commerce was a wealthy nation, controlling half of the empire's commercial operations and having been politically influential, since the time of Tóvel the Great.

Relying on his great economic power and control of the empire's commerce, anyone who wants to provoke the Hall of Glows needs to weigh themselves.

Only the Emperor has full control over this Great Chamber of Commerce.

I don't know why, this chamber of commerce has an inexplicable loyalty to the royal family, they are different from other nobles, they always pay taxes on time, never default on tax evasion, and never shirk the responsibility they should bear, and it is precisely because the Hall of Glow bears nearly one-seventh of the empire's taxes, so the emperor never hesitates to give them enough rights and freedoms, so this time, suddenly a branch of the Hall of Glow stopped handing over profits, which made the intelligence department so surprised and hurried to report.

However, it seems that the emperor does not care.
