"Freshly baked bread!"

"Freshly baked sausages—"

"Expired newspapers are sold cheaply—"

"Let's go, let's go, here's the exit, don't stop! Keep going! There's a sign on the ground!"

As soon as she got off the train, Talia felt that the temperature was much warmer in front of her. Obviously, the temperature here is much lower than near Elson, but the train station is crowded, and the feeling of heat brought by the busyness of countless people is very clear, and when she stood here, she suddenly realized that she had never seen so many people appear in the field of vision at the same time at the same time in her memory.

Built two kilometres outside the city, the Hollier train station was originally built with only one road into the city, and there were only stone platforms and three ticket gates that had been reserved for a large area.

However, the current "Hollier Railway Station" has the appearance of a developed town: there are already checkerboard streets around the railway station, and buildings spread out, directly bordering the Hollier Gate area.

Nephi pulled Taria and walked out with Mage Ethan and a few of his retinue, her eyes wide as she looked around—she hadn't been to Hollier since she had returned from Rassiman.

It used to be just a "fortress" city in the northwest of the kingdom, with more military roles, but now just by seeing the busy scene of this train station, she knew that the development level of this place had far surpassed that of the royal capital, and even more developed than the city of Duriel, where the six colleges of Rasiman were gathered.

I thought I could get out of the station after getting off the train, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of the ticket gate, the shops and noise in the "waiting hall" were already comparable to the most developed streets in Duriel City... If it hadn't been for the initiative to pull Taria, the latter would have been scattered by the crowd of people coming and going.

"Follow me! Let's go out first, don't get separated!"

"Ah, okay, okay. ”

Tarya grabbed Nephi's hand and hurried to follow with her luggage. She saw huge signs on both sides that read "Stewart's Magic Supplies Flagship Store", "Hogs Circle Rental Center", "Charlie's Wand Shop", and so on, and the undisguised magic fluctuations were like volcanoes. The goods used for display in the glass window are gorgeous and precious, and Taria has become a complete "country bun" at this time, and everything is strange to see.

The group walked for a long time to figure out the crowded station, but when they entered the city, they encountered a problem: identification.

Both Neffie and Mage Ethan have taken out their identification, but Taria "ran away from home" and didn't bring any identification items, so she is now considered a "black household"...

"You can't enter Hollier without identification. ”

The uniformed soldier of the city defense department said with a serious face: "You don't need to give me money, it doesn't cost anything to enter Hollier City now, but you must have a clear identity." ”

Tarya panicked when she heard this, she didn't think about her "identity" at all. After all, she is the daughter of a nobleman, and no one has ever embarrassed her in terms of identity since she was introduced to magic learning. And in a marginal place like Berg Village, no one would go to trouble with the high-level mage Ethan, so no one expected that "identity" would become a big mountain that hindered Talia from entering the city.

Master Ethan was so talkative that the soldier kept shaking his head.

Neffi rolled his eyes, trotted to the side to find those soldiers and asked a few respectful questions, and then hurriedly came over and pulled Tarya and said, "Don't worry, they said that similar situations have occurred..."

"How did that happen?"

Taria was a little anxious, just this moment, there were more than six high-level mages coming from the city gate, and there were countless other mages, and there were even a lot of valuable spell-casting materials in the carriages that were pulled back and forth - Talia remembered that one of the ores, Mage Ethan, was distressed when she used it, but here she was directly pulled over the whole car... The huge difference in resources is vividly reflected here, and it also strengthens her belief that she must enter the city.

"If you don't have an identity certificate, you can choose to reapply for one now, swear to become a citizen of the Karen Kingdom, if you are a mage, you can also directly apply to become a 'citizen of Hollier City', I heard them say that now ordinary people are even squeezed out of their heads for this qualification, but if you are a mage, you can pass directly! and then enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment..."

After Nafi finished speaking, Talia didn't even ask, and immediately replied, "Where is it? I'll go now!"

Master Ethan was obviously unwilling to wait longer, so Nephi simply said that he would take Talia to handle it, and he would go to him after entering the city, and then he went to the "household registration office" with Talia with his luggage to get identification.

Tarya stumbled nervously, thinking that she would have to go through a lot of difficulties or ask questions, but she didn't expect that the staff here would be very polite when they heard that she was a mage - after all, no matter how many "mages" there were in Holier City, they were a very small minority in the entire population, and she only applied her spiritual power to the test circle once and passed successfully.

"Yes, to become a citizen of the Karon Kingdom is to obey the laws of the Karon Kingdom. And those who choose to become citizens of Hollier City also have certain obligations while enjoying sufficient rights and benefits. The Prime Minister has emphasised that 'rights and duties are relative', and no matter how you have lived elsewhere before, here you must first swear allegiance to our Queen, Her Majesty Sally I..."

Tarya didn't hesitate to agree, but she later realized that it wasn't enough to sign or take an oath. All mages who have become "citizens of Hollier" through this route will now be registered, and a ceremony will be arranged on the first of next month, with the Queen herself witnessing their oath...

"Wow, what a chance to meet Her Majesty!"

Nephi sighed, and Tariya was a little dazed: "What do you need me to do?"

"It's good to take the oath at the ceremony, here are the laws and regulations that need to be followed in the city, this is the oath, take it. Now that the documents have been successfully processed, you can go directly to the city. ”

The staff handed Taria a pamphlet and a "household registration card" for identification, and a map of the city for her: "Congratulations, welcome to Hollier City, and we are proud to be here with such a wonderful and beautiful mage as you." ”

This was obviously a polite remark that had been said countless times, but Taria was still stunned after hearing it, and inexplicably felt a strange sense of belonging.

She took the papers with a flushed cheek and stammered, "Thanks... Thank you!"

Until she entered the city, Taria still felt dizzy, and the two little hillbillies almost let a whistling "car" hit the hem of the robe - the round-eyed Taria couldn't imagine what kind of vehicle it was, and when she looked up, she couldn't take her eyes off the towering magic tower that was being repaired, but she was full of apprehension.

"Nephie, do you think I can find a way to get a cure?"

"You have to try, don't you?"

Nefi looked down at the map for a long time: "Go this way, Master Ethan said to wait for us here." ”

As a result, as soon as they took two steps, the two of them stopped in front of a shop window at the same time.

Because there's a huge specimen of the "Infected Beast" in there...
