374 Tuileries Gardens
The Mage Guild is located in the northeast corner of Aukinslet, the imperial capital of the Solent Empire, because the status of the mages is transcendent, and most of them have eccentric personalities, so on this street close to the Mage Guild, most of them are the shops opened by the mages themselves, of course, the daily business in the shop is either the mage apprentice, or the low-level mage, ordinary people only account for a small half of them here.
Most of these mage apprentices and low-level mages working in the shop were told that they were not talented, but they were unwilling to live as ordinary people, so they stayed in the shops opened by these magicians, so that one day they could be protected by the god of magic, and perhaps they could reopen the mysterious door of magic.
The Solent Empire is currently the most powerful nation on the entire continent.
The entire Solent Empire has been ruled for 1279 years, and in this thousand years, a total of 35 monarchs have been born so far, and it is the 35th King of the Solent Empire, Pedro St. Albert, who is currently sitting on the throne.
To the south and north of the Solent Empire, there are two other small countries in close proximity, but these two small countries are basically led by the Solent Empire, although they do not have the title of a subject country, but their status is not much different from that of a subject country.
In addition, in the west of the Solent, because it is a Gobi steppe, the environment is relatively harsh, and the most common activities where are desert remnants. A few years ago, there were rumors that the desert remnants had elected a new king, and it seemed that a series of reforms had been carried out, and many scholars in the imperial capital at that time expressed concern about this.
However, Duke Resno, the Minister of War, said on the spot that if those dirty and smelly desert remnants dared to invade the sacred and great Solent Empire, then he would personally lead the empire's 300,000 iron horsemen to let the desert remnants know what the majesty of the empire was.
After that, the desert remnants improved the lives of the people, but they were completely incomparable to the Solent Empire, and even inferior to the living standards of a remote village within the empire. That's what made the scholars gradually shut up.
There is a fairly long coastline to the east of the Solent Empire, and about three hundred years ago, the Lordamere Maritime Principality established diplomatic relations with the Solent Empire, and it was only then that people learned that there was still a dotted island country overseas.
Solent didn't have much interest in this kind of fragmented land, and Lordamire, although he longed for the behemoth of Solent, didn't have the capital to fight with it, so the two countries got along quite well now.
……
Rejecting a carriage ride, Nanxing plans to walk around the city on foot.
Because it is close to the upper city and is the headquarters of the Mage Guild, the ground is paved with stone blocks, and there is a finger-thick groove in the middle of each piece of masonry, which seems to be to facilitate the drainage of the road in rainy and snowy weather.
Nanxing saw that there were several holes the size of a baby's fist on both sides of the road, and it looked like sewage would eventually flow from the ground to there.
The weather in the imperial capital has been very sunny these days, so the ground is also a little dry, and if it is in the lower city, it should be slightly dusty.
Although it was afternoon, there weren't too many people on the streets, and most of them were wearing mage robes, and judging by the six-pointed star on their clothes and collars, they were basically apprentices, beginners, and intermediate mages.
Some people may not know Nanxing, but as soon as they see Nanxing's magister robes, they will retreat to the side of the road with a serious face and bow their heads.
Nanxing didn't want to be too face-accomplicing, so most of them also gestured to them slightly. Many people felt incredible when they saw the Magister so easy-going, and they all clutched their chests, but then they thought that they were lucky today, not only seeing the Magister, but also receiving the attention of the other party.
It is said that the restaurants at the end of the street received a lot of orders for big meals that night, and many of the restaurants also saw a lot of sales. It can be said that Nanxing's unintentional move actually drove the consumption of the entire street, I don't know if the Imperial Financial Secretary knew about this, he would have come to the Mage Guild to ask the Magister in the guild, and he would go around the street when he was free.
After leaving the main street outside the Wizards' Guild and passing through a crossroads, you will find yourself in the heart of the bustling Upper Town.
The royal palace of the Solent Empire is located in the southeast corner of the imperial capital, but for the entire imperial capital, the royal palace is in the very center.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the palace and avoid being attacked on all sides, the south side of the palace is the Victoria Canal, which divides the upper and lower towns.
A sunny afternoon is a good time for the nobles to go out for afternoon tea, watch plays, and listen to operas.
The road was busy with various private carriages, but as Nanxing entered, all the people and carriages instinctively avoided Nanxing.
Obviously it was a slightly congested road, but it made Nanxing feel like no one was around.
Soon Nanxing found that just walking around the streets didn't seem to have a good understanding of the customs here. In front of you is the most famous restaurant in Uptown.
Nanxing decided to go in for an afternoon snack and chat with the waiter by the way.
You must know that the gossip ability of these waiters is no worse than that of the paparazzi.
……
Tuileries Gardens is a fine dining restaurant in the upper part of the imperial capital, located next to the Victoria Canal, and if you sit on the east side of the restaurant above the second floor, you can enjoy the view of the canal.
All the decorations here are made of fresh flowers, and there are even many precious varieties, which must be changed every season, and there are themed flowers every month, and the corresponding meals and arrangements will also be changed according to the theme flowers, making the whole more coordinated.
Many aristocratic ladies and ladies like to come here to order an afternoon tea, and then chat leisurely about the latest fashionable clothes and accessories in the imperial capital, or a certain recently popular opera, and even each other's lovers will show off.
The gate of the Tuileries Garden is a double-opening glass door with a small brass bell hanging from the door, which rings every time the door is opened.
Nanxing walked to the door, and without her pushing the door, the waiter in the black suit and vest inside had already skillfully opened the door of the restaurant for her.
However, this waiter was obviously the first time to see a living magister so closely, and he was a little speechless for a while, "Huan...... We look forward to welcoming you. ”
"Give me a quiet, well-viewed location."
"Okay, please come with me." The young waiter hurriedly walked in front of Nanxing with a slight bow, and then led Nanxing in the way.
There were already a lot of guests sitting in the hall on the first floor, and after Nanxing entered the restaurant, everyone's chatter stopped, and then they all looked at Nanxing curiously.
Of course, Nanxing was also looking at the restaurant.
The first floor is divided into two areas, left and right, by baroque columns, and a dozen or so wooden long tables are scattered around. On the table, there is a hand-woven tablecloth, which is beautifully decorated with floral patterns.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Nanxing went up to the second floor.
This waiter was very considerate and opened a private room by the river for Nanxing.
Nanxing actually felt that it was not necessary, but when she thought of her identity, she could only walk in, and she didn't know if the more than 200 gold coins in her pocket were enough to settle the bill.
