Last night was a catastrophe for the entire Imperial Capital City.

Although the most severely damaged area is in the area near the canal, and the other places have not suffered much damage and can still continue to operate and live as usual, the canal area is the most prosperous commercial district in the entire imperial capital, where a day's business income can support the expenses of other areas for a month, but it is said that the imperial capital has the best tax revenue.

However, now that they are all destroyed, it is a big blow to the economy of the imperial capital.

Riding in the carriage, it was already dark after walking out of the military headquarters, and you could still see a little place, and there was no need to light the lamp, if it was a little darker, it would be needed.

Outside the window of the carriage, there was a lot of people, but they were all pulling the cart in other directions.

Wang Chu looked at the things on the cart, what stone and wood, and some other powder materials......

"Where are these people going?" The carriage of the military department is different from the carriage of other nobles, the plane is made of iron, and there is the logo of the empire, which is easy to see when walking on the street, so when it is too urgent, pedestrians will spontaneously give way to a way.

There were only two horse-drawn carts, and there were no doors to lighten weight, and the soldiers outside could hear Lias talking.

"Is the general asking these people...... Most of them were workers hired by the Empire to transport materials from other regions to the canal, which was now being rebuilt. Said the soldier in charge of pulling the cart.

It is reasonable that the largest business district in the imperial capital should be rebuilt quickly, and the canal area is the place with the fastest transportation, Wang Chu personally went to the same side and the style was not bad, it was a pity to give up this kind of place.

"Oh, it is said that the canal area is the commercial center of the imperial capital, and I haven't had a chance to see it, but it's a pity. Lucia said.

The soldiers outside laughed bitterly.

It's a market during the day and a red-light district at night, and that kind of place is really not suitable for Lias and Lucia.

Xicheng District was originally supposed to come from the direction of Hajar City, but because it was assigned to the dwarves to live temporarily, the gate of the west of the Imperial City would hardly open, and when the team entered the city, they also entered through other gates.

As we walked, it was getting dark, and the lights on both sides of the street were gradually lit.

I could have come back tomorrow, but Lias hoped to be faster, and it wouldn't be fast to build equipment, especially when she needed better equipment, so she weighed the money in her hand, and there wasn't much left.

It had only been a few days since he became a general of the Empire, and the gold coins that the King of the Rhine had rewarded him had almost run out, and some of them had been given to old Gray to house furniture and buy servants, and there was not much left.

I didn't expect that the Imperial General would also be short of money.

Wang Chu looked at Lias's hand at her waist, although she was wearing a cloak, that place was where she usually held money.

Uh, don't we have any money? It won't be so miserable, I finally got something that can improve my equipment, and I can take it with me in my normal form in the future.

The smell of burning furnaces began to smell around, which was actually the smell of charcoal fire.

No matter what city you are in, as soon as you enter the forging area, you will have this smell...... There are basically a lot of people who don't work around the fire very often, and they can't stand it.

Even at night, there are still a lot of people here.

Dwarf.

Their appearance is particularly interesting, the tallest is only one meter two or three in height, but they are very strong, and their round bodies and one arm are comparable to the weight of two legs like Lias.

Unlike dwarfistic humans, their strong bodies make them not look deformed, and after looking at them for a long time, they will feel that this group of people is definitely a soldier with explosive combat effectiveness if they go to war, and they are very powerful.

"There seem to be several types of dwarves here. Lias noticed the dwarves here.

Although they are all about the same height, they all have a belly-length beard on their mouths, but their skin and eyes are different.

"General, you have noticed, that's right, dwarves are also divided into many types, different places where they live have different skin colors, there are two main types of dwarves living in the imperial capital here, black iron skin and bronze skin, dwarves originally lived in the northern country, but our Asta Empire is a country named after minerals, as early as many years ago, dwarves often came to trade, and some of them lived here for a long time. The soldier said.

Wang Chu glanced at the soldier pulling the cart, he knew a lot, and then looked at the place where his shoulders and belt were different from other soldiers, he should also be a person of military rank, no wonder he would know this.

"The dwarves are natural craftsmen, and the airships of the imperial capital are also built by them, and different species have different talents, and together they are the most perfect foundries. ”

Wang Chu can understand this.

Just like the various branches of the elves, including the dragons, even humans will be divided into various types due to the environment in which they live, the skin of the desert dwellers tends to be brown, although Lucia was born in the desert but has lived in Hajar City for a long time, and her skin has already degenerated into the fair color of Lias.

"Corin's hammer is in front of him, and he is one of the most important craftsmen in the Empire, and he has produced many of the marshal's weapons and even the king's sword. Passing around a few blocks, the soldier suddenly pointed to a house in the distance.

Lias poked her head out to see what looked like a bunker, with several large exhaust fans next to it, and the foundry could be seen at a glance, and there was also a blower outside, connected to a small river next to it, all of which were complex pipes.

Even Wang Chu, who comes from a scientific and technological civilized society, probably can't get these complicated things.

Dwarves, as rumored, are capable of crafting all sorts of bizarre devices.

There are not many humans around the house, probably because this is the exclusive domain of the emperor.

"Here we are, General...... Since the morning, there have been a large number of people in the imperial capital to forge weapons, but fortunately, people without identity cannot enter here. ”

Looking at the door outside, sure enough, there were a few soldiers waiting, and they were still heavily armed in such a hot area.

"Citizens forging weapons?" Lucia noticed what the other had just said.

"Well, because of the loss of the imperial capital's business district, many ruffians and thieves rummaged through the ground in large quantities to find valuable things, and they also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob, and the military headquarters sent no less than three patrols this morning. ”

No wonder I just felt that there were a lot of people here, and they were still busy so late, and the light at night was not good, if it wasn't for the additional order, there was no need to work all night.

"Please, General. ”

Several soldiers at the gate saw the people who came over, and they were all identities.

He immediately straightened up and saluted.
