Volume 2: The Mercenary's Revenge Chapter 46: The Imperial Capital of Remet
Part II: A Man's Revenge
The city of Remet is the capital of Henassas, and because it is the capital of the empire, it is also known as the imperial capital for short. The city of Remet covers a huge area, with an area of nearly 4,000 square kilometers, which is basically larger than the area of some small countries in the alliance, and because the city of Remet is located in the flat area of the inland center of the empire, it has basically bid farewell to various natural disasters such as tsunamis and blizzards.
Due to the special nature of the economic, political and military integration of the city of Remet, the emperors of the empire did not hesitate to spend huge manpower, material and financial resources to improve the defense facilities of the city of Remet, and the most shocking thing to the world is the huge city defense around the imperial capital, stretching for hundreds of miles, you must know that such a large-scale and high-strength city wall took a hundred years to build Hernasas, which is definitely a miracle in the history of continental architecture, and it is also the pinnacle of the Hernasas Empire as a centralized country.
The plan of the imperial capital was built in a square, and there were huge gates every ten kilometers on the three outer walls of the city, and the city wall near the back was not allowed to set up gates because it was the place where the Emperor Sass lived, which was also for the safety of the emperor. The other three city walls have a total of fifteen gates, but although there are many entrances to the city, they are not open every day, the order of opening the fifteen gates will change differently every day, and there will be a special dispatcher to assign dispatch every day, and each guard captain on duty will only receive the notice of which gate to guard before taking up his post, which is also to ensure the safety of the imperial capital to the greatest extent.
The imperial capital can be roughly divided into several large blocks, slums, aristocratic areas, palaces, administrative districts, commercial districts, among which the area of the slums is the smallest, basically living around three city walls, the imperial capital is close to 10 million people living and living, of which ninety percent are poor and destitute poor people, they have dedicated their lives to the imperial capital, but they only get the big house on the corner of the city, even so there are countless people pouring into the city of Remet every day, in their eyes living in the imperial capital is a symbol, even if you just survive that is a great honor。
Inside, you'll find a wide variety of business districts, with huge commercial districts branching out, the largest of which runs through the imperial capital, and where you can find everything you want and everything you've never seen before. Whether it is the grass and trees from the endless desert north of the continent, or the water elves from the extreme south of the continent, or the ice snow lotus abundant in the frozen snow mountains, it can be blocked here, and it is even more exaggerated that there are all kinds of contraband for sale in an underground hidden market somewhere in the business district, whether it is the seal of the royal family, or the sacred vessel of the church, or a variety of extremely rare divine weapons and ancient recipes on the market, everything is available here, as long as you have enough money, the people here can help you get anything you want.
The second half of the business district is already where the nobles live, and the nobles are divided into several types, some are the rich who have been doing business for generations, some are the meritorious families of the founding of Henassas, and some are relatives of the royal family.
Finally, there is the administrative district, because the administrative district is connected to the imperial palace, it is generally called the administrative palace, which is the brain of the entire Henassas, basically every command of the empire, every law issued from here, and then announced to the world. Sass the Great was a man of great power, he was not willing to decentralize power like his father, and in his opinion it was necessary to control the whole of He
Nasass, power is an intoxicating thing, no matter how much your subordinates trust you, you can't easily let go of power, I'd rather be tired than let anyone get into your power.
The palace of Sass the Great has a history of hundreds of years, since the capital was moved to the city of Remet four hundred years ago, the palace has been intermittently renovated, the original area of only a few dozen square kilometers of the palace expanded to hundreds of square kilometers now, and the most important point is that the Sass the Great not only expanded the palace, but also built a huge underground shelter. No one knew why the Emperor wanted to build such a thing, and in the opinion of the ministers, the Henassas Empire had been west of the continent for hundreds of years, and there was no need to waste manpower to build such a useless thing, but at the Emperor's repeated insistence, the magnificent underground shelter was only completely completed a few years ago. This huge siege not only cost Henassas a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, but even caused a large area of collapse in the imperial capital business district, if it is not remedied in time, I am afraid that half of Remet City will fall underground, but even so the emperor still insists on going his own way and insisting on his own opinion.
It is precisely because of the emperor's insistence all the way that the underground shelter was completed on schedule, but since the shelter was built, the emperor rarely appeared in the palace, the underground shelter has become the emperor's second bedroom, every day in addition to the office, the emperor will stay in the underground shelter for fifty or sixty percent of the time, no minister can know what the emperor is doing in the shelter, of course, no minister dares to speak of the Sass Great, after all, the emperor has killed several dead officials, no one wants to be the next one, so the emperor and the ministers are deadlocked until now, no one wants to take a step back。
After separating from Molian, Yi Tian first found a hotel to live in, and from the guard Na Yi Tian just now, he found out that the identity of the mercenary in Henassas is so special, and his A-level mercenary can already make the captain of the guard respectful, if he goes up a step again, the courtesy is unimaginable. However, in addition to the excitement, Yi Tian was also a little frustrated, after all, if the task of the Dragon Emperor's remains could be completed by himself, he would definitely be able to become an S-level mercenary, and at that time, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in this imperial capital, forget it, forget it.
Yi Tian has a habit, every time he goes to a strange city, he likes to wander around, not only to figure out the urban structure but also to see if he can find any treasures, and the huge Remet City in front of him fully mobilized his curiosity, originally in his subconscious, the king of Granton is the largest and most prosperous place in the world, but the imperial capital in front of him really shocked him, not only the high city wall he saw when he just entered the city shocked him, but the prosperity of the prosperous era after entering the city completely broke Yi Tian's imagination, all of which can not be described in words, Let's put it this way, even the smallest street in the imperial capital is comparable to the central street of the royal capital, in front of the magnificent Remet City, the Granton King is not worth mentioning at all, there is no possibility of comparison between the two, even arrogant people like Yi Tian have to admit that the prosperity of Remet City is really worthy of the reputation of the first city in the Western Continent.
After Mo Lian's inform, Yi Tian knew that there were actually two adventure guilds in the imperial capital, one was of course the local signature "Twilight World" in Henasas, and the other was the famous "Feather Moon" in the Eastern Continent.
After asking the location clearly, Yi Tian decided to go to the "Twilight World" first, after all, there are too many miscellaneous things in the ink ring, and it is time to clear it, but Yi Tian seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, the imperial capital is too big, completely different from the city that Yi Tian has been to before, if you want to walk over, it is estimated that you will not be able to walk until night.
The great imperial capital has spawned many different professions, one of which is the driver, as long as you pay a certain amount of money, the driver will drive you to the destination in a carriage, of course, if you want to ride a horse yourself, then you can do it, but you need to go through all kinds of procedures before riding, there is no restriction on riding a horse in the slums, but as long as you ride a horse into any area except the slums, the guards will immediately come to you and ask for a permit, if you can't get it, then I'm embarrassed to ask you to go to the cell to squat。
It's very simple, first you have to pay a certain amount of gold coins, and the second is to take out the certificate of an official above the middle level of the empire, if you are not an official then you need to take out your A-class mercenary badge or other proof of high-level strength, so that you can be issued a short-term license, if you want a long-term license, sorry, except for the royal family, there is no one who is eligible to receive it.
The drivers are all old drivers in the imperial capital, and they know basically God everywhere, of course, no gossip can escape their ears, after all, the people in their cars go up to officials and nobles, down to ordinary businessmen, and all kinds of people also bring all kinds of gossip news.
Yi Tian sat in the car and listened to the driver talk about everything about the imperial capital, it was really an eye-opener, it turned out that there were so many rules in the imperial capital! And what surprised Yi Tian even more was that the mercenary badge in the twilight world was so useful, it was really worthy of the guild with the royal family as the backstage, it was awesome.
"Master, aren't you tired of rushing here and forth this day?"
"Young man, don't you know, don't look at the glamour of this city on the surface, but secretly we low-class people live a miserable life, the annual tax alone is more serious than other cities, and the money spent on verification every year for a driver like me is already countless. ”
"It costs money to verify!" Yi Tian was a little puzzled.
"That's not, although it is hard to do our business, but from time to time you can meet one or two generous bosses or officials, so there are not too many people who want to enter this industry, but the number of people stipulated is so much that it cannot be expanded at will. ”
"That's going to have to be a lot!"
"Basically, one-third of the year's income is put in, and it has been rising for the past two years. The driver said helplessly.
It's really insatiable, and giving a third of a year's income as a gift is simply oppressive, and Yi Tian heard that a nameless fire in his heart was born, even in Granton, which was heavily taxed.
"Master, why don't you just leave here and find a small town to spend a leisurely life, isn't it better than working hard here. ”
"Alas, old man, I'm fifty years old, it's the same everywhere, but if I leave, my son will have to go back to the mountain village with me, and his dream of becoming a career will be completely ruined. ”
"Why, I've heard that Henassas has a whole system of exams. ”
"Hahaha. The driver smiled wryly, "Where did the examination system come from, it is all here to deceive those people in remote areas, and the system in this place is that you are admitted, you are admitted nearby, and you are admitted by money." First the children of the nobles, then the children of the rich merchants, and finally the scumbags left behind before it was the turn of us low-level people, even these scumbags were to consider the population of the imperial capital first and then consider other regions, which is why I would rather die of exhaustion than leave here. ”
Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, Yi Tian never spoke again on the road after that, everything was in silence, the only thing he could do was to give the old man a few more gold coins after getting out of the car.
