In the shame of a public execution, Gunflame Binghe embarked on a journey

The train headed south, crossed a large plain, crossed six rivers, passed through a large city, and finally reached the center of the empire, which was a small fortress against the desert peoples of the south two thousand years ago. With the continuous rise and expansion of human beings, as well as the development of productive forces in the steam age, the remnants of this world's religious era have gradually been crushed to the corners of the continent.

The city of Hagia Sauc, with a population of 600,000, has been built over hundreds of years in a region where a river forks and six railroads cross, and the city's buildings are all concrete, with huge chimneys rising over the edge of the city.

The city is divided into more than sixty districts. Each area was expanded on the basis of a castle, which was a chain of fortresses thousands of years ago. Of course, there are almost no traces of the castle now, and the brick and stone walls have long been covered with cement. Each castle area has also expanded dozens of times in size. In a wide walled enclosure, these castle areas become semi-detached areas.

#

There are more than 60 areas, divided into factory area, military area, machinery area, commercial area, and palace area, each of which has landmark buildings.

In the center of the business district is a 70-meter-high statue of the goddess, surrounded by a staircase-like ring of shops. There was a constant stream of carriages.

The military area is a 60-meter-high pentagonal tower with a huge chimney in the center and a turret on the tower. Has good lookout and attack capabilities. Around the pentagonal pagoda are various kinds of military buildings and military warehouses.

Of course, the most important area of the city is the palace area, which is not the palace of the emperor alone, but has schools, administrative buildings, and residences for the nobles. There are three palace districts in the city, of which the palace area is located in the center of the city, and the landmark building is a large 200-meter-high astronomical clock tower. At the top of this clock tower is a celestial simulator made of metal rings with a diameter of 20 meters.

The metal ball representing the ladder on the metal ring rotates precisely. Each metal ball can make a crisp sound, and each metal ball has a different sound due to different materials. At the moment of the hour, the crisp bell of the city rings over the entire city.

#

However, each area is surrounded by a high wall, and each area is connected by an overpass-like transportation system. These concrete bridges, 30 meters high, cannot be climbed by people under the bridges, and the intersections on the bridges are within the walls of each area.

Yes, the city is divided into two worlds, the upper world is within the walls of each area, and the lower world is composed of merchants and small citizens gathered here.

#

As soon as the train disembarked, a large group of Imperial gendarmes immediately isolated the train station, and they cleared the nobles on the train of a road that was the ramp to the overpass. Binghe walked up the slope of the viaduct, looking at the bustling people wearing ordinary woolen clothes under the slope, Binghe saw them pushing each other, and an inexplicable feeling appeared. And suddenly a word popped up in Binghe's mind - the word "class" popped up so suddenly that Binghe was suddenly stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

The power of this world is in the hands of a few people, only the old nobles with a long magical system, and the new nobles who are involved in the military industry. is the one who shares the cake in this world.

#

In the lower towns, there was no shortage of wealthy people, and at the leading point to the high-rise bridge, some families who apparently appeared to have a large number of servants came to the platform and sent their well-dressed children to the platform. The adults of the family and the gendarmes on the platform talked closely, quietly shaking hands and bribing in the cuffs.

These wealthy people are all from the business class of small citizens, and they are not lacking in money. Some merchant groups that resold freight and slaves were quite financially astonishing. But it doesn't work in this world. There is no way to get involved in the right class.

In fact, this is the case on the earth, those top classes, no longer compare the number of money, but look at the control of those key industries.

Unimportant but huge gold absorption: luxury industry, service industry has a large number of rich people, but these wealthy are facing invisible crises, once the economy is turbulent, they face the crisis of bankruptcy. But the industry that is involved in military agriculture, then there is no need to worry about this problem, there is a gold medal for avoiding death.

Therefore, many large-scale enterprises and government cooperation projects, even if the profits are small, must also participate. It is safe to participate in the ruling system. Out of the ruling system, money is nothing more than a number. As for the mentally retarded operation of fleeing abroad with money, it is only the speculation of the ordinary people, and it is still forced by public opinion in China, and some people are worried about the ugly appearance of eating. There is no need to scruple in the public opinion abroad that is already xenophobic and hateful to the rich.

#

The rich in business activities on the planet can use the tools of public opinion to denounce the government.

But in this world does not exist. The aristocracy has absolute power to kill and seize. The imperial aristocracy mastered the military-industrial system, mastered the food system, and mastered the national transportation system. Moreover, the great nobles and the emperor formed stable political rules and monopolies. Once there is a financial crisis, a group of rich people will be disposed of amid the applause of the low-level civilians.

Therefore, the well-dressed rich people he saw on the overpass were all cowering.

#

And the world needs two paths to get to the top.

Article 1. Accumulation of military merits, the Gun Flame family entered the upper echelons of the initial accumulation of military merits seven hundred years ago, and then accumulated it again two hundred years ago, obtaining the important function of controlling the military production in the north of the empire now.

The second is the establishment of a new magic system. The new magical system has been continuously improved for nearly 10,000 years, and although only the aristocracy with profound family knowledge has mastered the system, the exploration of the lower ranks will also accumulate the inheritance of the lower professions in two or three generations. Of course, lower exploration also provides a large number of professionals for the Empire. It is the foundation of the system of imperial violence.

These two paths developed at the same time, and to become a nobleman, it took at least ten generations of people. Even if they can't become aristocrats, the rich people of the burgher class still train their children with the best educational resources and try to send them to the upper class.

"Noble Miss Coffey, merciful young master, your carriage is at the front, please let me lead the way for you." When he had just walked to the overpass, a gendarmerie captain came like the wind, and he was walking with the use of rapid movement, dressed in a metal armor of several tens of kilograms, wrapped like a tin can.

During gliding, the armor does not have any crashing sounds, as stable as power armor held in place by a screwed mechanical system. The captain of the gendarmerie belonged to the lower intermediate profession. The armor system has been used with a number of magic spells to bring the rank of junior non-commissioned officer in the army, while controlling traffic in the city. Commanding while maintaining order below.

However now facing the dragon. Coffey and Bing Core remained absolutely humble. This is because of the status of the nobility.

While on the train, Binghe's self-statement to do, Coffey's guardian knight. It caused a very embarrassing scene.

But the dragon. Coffey was not dissatisfied, but immediately insisted on making a noble promise. And let the retainers on the side make a gesture of drawing their swords and challenging them, so that it becomes an established fact.

For celebrities, the knight who is willing to protect is the nobleman, and for Coffey, this is more reflective of his identity than any expensive jewelry. Binghe belongs to the green leaves that are sent to the door.

#

And now Bing He's eyes followed the gestures of the gendarmes, and he realized that the convoy of carriages parked on the overpass was different. At the front of the convoy were ornate carriages, while in the back were ordinary carriages, reminiscent of the young people queuing under the bridge. Binghe suddenly understood that the cars on this bridge did not come first and get on casually, but in order. Institutions and hierarchies are reflected in every aspect of this world.

Bonghe's Kofi and his servants sat in the first carriage, which was made of stainless steel, with white ceramic as the outer shell and silver tassel chains as decorations. This is the most luxurious vehicle in the entire fleet. It is also a vehicle that is allowed to ride in the system.

#

After several people got into the car, they took their seats, but soon several people looked at Binghe, because the position on Coffey's side was empty. Binghe was stunned and looked at the knight who was originally beside Kofi, and the knight also looked at Binghe, and after staring at Binghe for a while, the knight came over helplessly and reminded Binghe in a low voice: "Young Master Binghe, you are now the guardian knight of His Highness." You should be at her side. ”

Binghe was stunned and looked at Kofei, Kofi's fingers tapped gently, but his eyes were looking out of the window, Binghe paused, and then moved to the position next to Kofei, but the center of gravity of his body unconsciously deviated to again, of course, Binghe quickly realized his performance, and said secretly in his heart: "Am I being shy?" ”

Coffey looked back out of his window. The right Binghe said: "Nuclear, you are coming to the imperial capital for the first time. ”

Binghe nodded, Kofei: "I see that you are very interested in the imperial capital, and after getting off the train, you keep looking around." Any thoughts? ”

Binghe paused for a moment and said, "Your Highness, is the status of nobility very important in the imperial capital?" ”

The atmosphere in the car paused, everyone's faces were strange, and Coffey brushed his hair behind his smooth shoulders and said with a smile: "Nuclear, you are such an interesting person." The aristocracy was the essence of this empire. (Nobility is not important in the imperial capital, but everywhere)

Binghe was stunned and just wanted to nod, but suddenly, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind. In a trance, Binghe's mind came to 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light'. This sentence. This made Binghe very stunned. But when confronted with Kofi's question, Binghe quickly replied: "I want to be a nobleman who is supported by the people." (This sentence is a standard cliché, in the eyes of Binghe, it is a standard answer for perfunctory answers, and standard answers will not fall into the hands of others)

Kofi looked at Binghe with blue eyes and said lightly: "You are very kind. Then the conversation changed and said flatly: "It's also very naïve." ”

Binghe lowered his head and immediately admitted: "You're right, I'm probably often too shallow. ”

And Binghe, who bowed his head, although he apologized on his lips, but with a large number of memories that had just jumped out of his trance in his heart, and the interlaced memories reminded him of another kind of rational thinking.

Bing said silently in his core: "This world, it seems that something is wrong. ”
