In the Cloud Atlas World, cities are also divided into several levels, generally speaking, Dragon Teng City is considered a low-class city, while Ide City is a medium-sized city, and further upwards are high-class cities such as Tianyan City.

This is also the fief or frontier of a common earl.

Above them, the marquis masters can generally establish their own marquisal states, although they may also control the provinces, states, or shogunates of an empire.

A province, state, or shogunate is a rank, and it's something that a marquis has.

On top of that are principalities, governors, military lords, etc., this level of masters, the power controlled far more than a province or state and shogunate, in the Dragon Empire and the Holy Alliance, these people can already be regarded as extremely strong masters.

Above them are princes, kings, and so on, and they control at least a kingdom.

This is a basic hierarchical situation, of course, everything is not necessarily programmed, after all, many powerful masters can even kill all the masters of an empire, but they will not establish their own power.

Just like Ling Yun and Shan Haizi's teacher, Tianhai Ranlan, she only likes wealth, but she doesn't have any yearning for power.

And Ling Yun didn't really have much idea about power, he just showed it to the people who proved it to the Ling family, and it was also to prove it to himself, and at the same time, he also wanted to get rid of the Ling family completely, and then establish his own power and territory.

Early in the morning, go!

Under the leadership of Ling Yun, several people headed in the direction of Yide City.

Because the territory was going to be auctioned tomorrow, Ling Yun and the others had to rush there as soon as possible.

After a day and a night, he finally arrived at Id City before dawn the next day, a city that looked majestic, at least much larger and more majestic than Lingyun's Dragon City.

Id, the entrance to the North City.

Here, everyone needs to pay a gold coin to enter the city, of course, people in the city have a pass waist card, they do not need to pay the entrance fee.

Yan Heng knew the rules very well, so he hurriedly stepped forward and paid fifteen gold coins, and then everyone walked into Yide City.

"Why don't they need to pay the gold coins?" asked Richard as he looked at an old man dressed in black, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"Do you see that guild token on this person's waist? They belong to the Rune Armed Association, so most cities don't ask them to collect entry fees. Yan Heng explained.

Not every city charges a fee to enter the city, but relatively speaking, it still accounts for the majority.

"Oh, so there is still the Rune Armed Association?" Ling Yun was a little surprised, although this place is a bit chaotic compared to the Orr Territory, but many things here seem to be more sound, if there is a chance in the future, Ling Yun must go to the Rune Armed Association to have a look, maybe he can learn something.

"Yes, there are rune armed associations in many places, because they are all armed masters, so their status is respected, and naturally no one dares to charge them. Yan Heng looked at Ling Yun and explained.

Ling Yun nodded and said, "What else can I do without paying the entrance fee?" At this moment, Ling Yun suddenly became curious.

"In the Idd Territory, if Lord Ed's army or other barons come to Ide City for something, the people they lead do not need to pay the entrance fee, and of course, the Tianyan Army does not need to. Yan Heng said, in fact, he didn't know too much.

"That one didn't pay the entrance fee. Richard looked at the city gate suspiciously, generally the people in the city need to show their identities when they enter the city, but at this moment, a man wearing a purple coat and carrying a long sword actually walked directly into the city, and none of the defenders dared to stop it, not even asking.

"They're dragon hunters!" Yan Heng said.

"Dragon hunter?" Ling Yun suddenly thought of the accounts he had seen in some books.

The dragon hunter is a profession, not a real dragon hunter, but the dragon Ao Empire's affirmation of the powerful loose cultivation, in the dragon Ao Empire every high-level city has a dragon hunting association, as long as you can complete the tasks issued by the dragon hunting association, you can become a dragon hunter.

Dragon hunters are also divided into levels, and the higher the level, the stronger the dragon hunter, so the dragon hunter is also a sideways existence in the Dragon Ao Empire, and generally speaking, the status is also very high.

"There is another profession that no one dares to stop, even Nan Tianyan has to bow his head when he sees it, they are divine servants!" Yan Heng said.

"Is it those temple servants?" Ling Yun asked, this Ling Yun really knew that he had almost died at the hands of the god servants when he first came to this world.

"Yes, it is the servant of the temple, there are temples in almost every big city, and the gods enshrined are completely different, but the people in any temple are very powerful, and there are even some temple masters, I am afraid that even the emperor of the Longao Empire may not be their opponent, I heard that the emperor of the Northern Holy Alliance is a powerful divine servant!" Yan Heng said.

Ling Yun nodded and said, "Okay, we can continue to set off!" "I came here today mainly to take pictures of that barony, and Ling Yun only needs to know a little about these little things.

Soon, I came to the South Pacific Auction House.

This Nantai auction house is actually controlled by Nan Tianyan, the Nantai family, and the annual auction house profit is enough to support Nan Tianyan's crusade in the east and west, which can be seen how terrifying the auction house's profits are.

Moreover, no one in the Tianyan Territory dared to snatch the auction business and the business of the Fighting Martial Arts, because these belonged to Nan Tianyan.

Almost every family has its own independent property, just like the Zorn family's crystal business, which is almost enough to support their entire family, and the same is true for the auction house.

It is a majestic and huge building, an ancient building in the Gothic style, and much larger than the Lord's Mansion of Ide.

In front of the auction hall, there is a lot of traffic, and various auctions are held here every day.

The auction hall is divided into a main hall and more than a dozen small venues.

The main venue is usually only opened once a month, and every item auctioned is priceless, and sometimes even Ed is a little envious.

Ordinary auction halls are open almost every day to auction all kinds of things.

The South Pacific Auction Hall is divided into three floors, the first floor is the general shopping area and the acquisition area, and the second floor is the treasure area, whether it is for buying or selling, the value of things on the second floor is far more than the first floor.

There is also a free trade street outside the South Pacific Auction House, where you can sell things as long as you pay a certain amount of taxes.
