Before arriving at the imperial capital, Qiu Chen had already imagined in his mind how huge the city was, and it was already a good city with the level of human construction in the previous period of time, and the scale was almost the same as that of Constantinople. But when he saw it, he realized that he still underestimated the city

The imperial capital seems to be built on a very steep mountain, the plain at the foot of the mountain is the periphery of the city, due to the need for urban expansion, so there is no defense facilities such as city walls in the outermost periphery, or in other words, there has never been an army to attack the foot of the imperial capital, more than half of the civilians live here, they are basically workers or poor people, this is the boundary of the imperial capital, most of the work in the imperial capital is done by these people, from the appearance of the houses in this area are mostly low, and there is even no lack of so-called slums

Standing at the gate of the imperial capital, you can see the first city wall in the distance, which is the first line of defense of the imperial capital, built along a river that runs through the city, once the city is attacked, this is the first line of defense of the defenders, that urban area includes the part from the plain to the foot of the mountain, the middle-class houses are located here, compared to the lower city, this street looks relatively clean and tidy, and the roads divide the city into different areas, although it is not luxurious, but it is also scattered

On the mountainside, a huge wall blocked Qiu Chen's view, but you don't need to look to know that the upper floor is where the nobles and rich people live. Almost twice as tall as the outer walls, no one could see what was inside, and the walls even blocked the palace on the top of the hill higher, revealing only the green vault at the very top of the palace. But the palace built on the highest point overlooks the entire imperial capital. The walls of the city could give these nobles enough security and not hinder their pleasure in looking down on the commoners

"Well~ It seems that it's time to say goodbye" After following the crowd into the imperial capital, Qiuchen waved goodbye to Tazmi, "Are you going to join the army next?"

"Yes," Tazmi clenched his fist in one hand and said confidently, "Wait for me and Iaias and Shayo to turn, and then with our strength, we will definitely be able to get a good job in the army, and after helping the village through the difficulties first, the three of us can have a good time in the imperial capital!" ”

"Come on" Qiuchen patted Tazmi's shoulder, "I'm optimistic about you, I hope you can find some friends"

"I'll lend you good words"

After separating from Tazmi, Qiuchen followed the crowd into the city gate, and after walking a few dozen meters aimlessly, he stopped. Although his self-realization is likely to succeed once, but in the face of such a large imperial capital, no matter who he is, he will feel at a loss, saying that he wants to investigate, but ...... Where to start......

Hawkers! As is customary, go to a tavern or something like that and keep an eye out for clues while drinking

No matter what kind of world it is, there will be ordinary taverns and other places, not everyone will have the money to spend in high-end hotels, and proper entertainment activities cannot be without, so a large number of taverns that cater to people whose incomes are not so high have been born, and it is not a characteristic of businessmen to have money but not to make money

Observing the various crowds, Qiuchen finally found a fairly acceptable tavern as noon was about to pass, with a sign hanging on the wooden door, and the inside was still clean from the window. Push the door in, a slightly sour smell of wine greeted the face, because it was close to the afternoon, so there were few customers in the store, seeing the guests come to the door, a shop boy who was wiping the table warmly greeted him, "Welcome guests, do you want to eat something?"

What to eat...... Qiuchen touched his abdomen, as if he hadn't eaten breakfast

"Please bring me a menu, thank you"

The guy in the "......" shop looked at Qiuchen blankly, and Qiuchen was a little unclear, so couldn't he speak the wrong language, impossible, any language spoken by the Ying Ling would be automatically converted into words that they could understand in the ears of the aborigines, and it was impossible for him to express himself clearly

"Please, give, I, come, one, portion, dish, order, thanks, thanks" Qiuchen said again word by word

As if he had been woken up, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, glanced at the boss who was wiping the silver plate ornaments behind the counter with some fear, and stammered, "Hug, sorry guests, we don't have a dish called the menu here, maybe, maybe you can eat some of it, something else."

This time it was Qiuchen's turn to be speechless

Isn't there such a thing as co-authoring?

Patting his forehead, Qiuchen sighed, "Just bring me something delicious, just have some more drinks, that's all"

The guy breathed a sigh of relief, ran to the back kitchen, Qiu Chen found a window seat and sat down, here you can just see most of the situation outside, although it stands to reason that this is a very ordinary world, but Qiu Chen has been a little worried in his heart, if it is really as he guessed, this world has been infiltrated and corroded by the main god space, then he swaggered through the world barrier will definitely be discovered by them

I really hope I'm a little nervous after being pit by an old fox in the school city.

"Hi boy, look at you are a countryman" An energetic voice came from the side, Qiuchen turned his head, and just saw a blonde woman wearing only a small amount of black leather clothes and relatively revealing clothes sitting on the table not far away, and waved her hand casually, "Bringing in the customs of your hometown in the imperial capital will make people look down on it, do you want the big sister to teach you a few ways to mix the scenery in the imperial capital?"

As soon as he heard the voice, Qiu Chen's right hand was subconsciously clenched, and the Ash Messenger was ready to resist attacks from any direction

Looking at the blonde woman with a relaxed face, Qiu Chen looked left and right, there was no trace of anyone else, and the other party did not have any action to attack

Sure enough, I'm too allergic

Seeing that Qiuchen didn't take care of herself, the blonde woman walked to his table with a big grin, "Don't be so cold, young man, I won't cheat you out of your money, I won't get any chance to keep a straight face all day long in the imperial capital."

"Well, you talked about opportunities" Qiuchen leaned back to the chair and looked at each other indifferently, "In between, can you tell me about what the slums of this city are like?"

At the mention of the slums, the blonde girl's pupils shrank imperceptibly, but then she closed her eyes and pinched her waist with both hands and smiled, "There's no need to ask the slums, why don't you ask what the uptown looks like, a good boy who has the goal of entering the upper class is a good boy who strives to forge ahead, sister, I know a lot about it, and it is a good place for some teenagers you can't imagine."

"Yes" Qiuchen took the tray handed by the shopkeeper, with a bottle of cloudy ale and a cup on it, "No matter what you say, I have to invite you to dinner, right, bring a cup yourself, I don't want to change places"

"Aha~ That's good," the blonde clapped her hands happily

"But," Qiuchen stretched out a finger and interrupted the other party, "Tell me about the most common rumors in the city, and some things about the slums, I'm not interested in the upper city"

"That's right," the blonde sighed a little disappointed, but then resumed her interest, "But today there is a second teenager who is willing to invite the big sister to dinner, the big sister is already very happy!" Knowing everything and answering the boy"

"Huh? The second? Is there any fool who can be deceived by such a low-level pick-up skill as you...... Impressed, ah yes, my name is Qiuchen, and I just came to the imperial capital today."

"I don't know" The blonde picked up the cup from the side and rubbed the tip of her nose, "I didn't ask the young man's name, but it's also a very simple teenager, my name is Leonay, okay boy, let's talk while drinking"

(Happy New Year's Day, everyone, I actually received a reward before New Year's Eve, I'm happy, tomorrow after I come back from the Comic Con, see if I can double change it on the first day)
