"Which is the biggest?" Afkana said.

Rafa was not interested in these political matters, but she was mentally focused on asking Weber.

"Equal, but the Internal Affairs Bureau is in charge of many things, and when attending meetings, it has always been in the first place, and if the Marquis and the Young Master are not there, the Political Affairs Bureau will hold a meeting. "Madam, what else do you want to know, just ask." ”

On the way back to Barsayshire, Weber told all the information he knew, so that Afkana had a complete understanding of the power system of the Adolf family - to put it simply, the Adolf family had firmly controlled the four counties of the territory, and there was no royal family in their eyes.

"The Marquis of Boni is in power, and if the king dies or there is a shocking change, will there be a civil war...... "Afkana has a premonition that something big is coming!

Three days later, Basseidshire.

"The city of Peon has arrived! We're home!"

When he saw the towering "Monument to Agnes" in the distance, Weber stood up excitedly, and the soldiers who escorted them had already returned, leaving only their two carriages and ready to enter the city.

"What a tall building, that's called the Agnes Monument?" As she passed, Afkana pointed to a line of writing on the spectacular sight ahead.

"Yes, named after the Marquise, the Marquis wants to make everyone never forget Madame, as for the one in the distance that is a little shorter, do you see the big cross at the top? It is called Frata Cathedral, which was founded by the Marquis's father, and now there are more than thirty people singing hymns there every day, and remembering Madame, that place is also the most expensive place in the city, and a low house nearby can build a luxury villa on the fourth floor in the suburbs!

"The Marquis is so infatuated?" Afkana was incredible, she had never heard of this kind of love story only in books.

"That's right, it's also the safest place in the city, and anyone who dares to commit a crime within a mile of seeing the memorial tower will be killed, even if they speak loudly, they will be cared for by the city defense army. ”

As the carriage walked through the outer city, the prosperity of the outer city had made Afkana far beyond imagination, and as a port city, there was an endless stream of Matou boats, and all kinds of merchants in fancy costumes, speaking in unfamiliar French, came here to sell their goods and retrieve the new specialties unique to the city.

The city has grown to an unusual height, the ground is paved with stone slabs, there is no dust splashed at all, there is no smell of feces, not a drop is there, and it is as clean as being in paradise.

"Where's the filth?" This time Afkana and Rafa spoke in unison, they had already entered the crowd. (Note)

"The Marquis hired to design a lot of drainage and sewers, and later the young master established a special system of collecting manure, and all kinds of excrement, after maturation or composting, would be used to irrigate the agricultural land or make fertilizer, and there was also a crime of littering, once caught discarding more than fifty pounds of weight, he was to be fined. Weber said proudly, "This city is as white as the wings of an angel!"

"Look, there's a manure truck over there. Weber gestured to a special walkway in the distance, "See, the ox carts have just been harvested, and the wooden barrels on them are filled with all kinds of excrement, and they have a name called "manure waterers", which is a shortage of fertilizer.

Pharmacies, inns, monasteries, ornate concert halls, and imposing bell towers are interspersed among the buildings, and the architectural styles vary greatly, from the neighboring Aragonese, to the local Gauls, and even to the Latin.

"Lord Weber, what is this?"

A painted building, next to a small monastery, is about five stories high, with a wide standing space, and on the main façade is written in large letters - "A place to nourish the soul".

Many people were using carts to carry manuscripts, printed matter, and even finished books into it, and a knight led the soldiers to supervise the theft of these books.

"That's the library established by the young master, it's been built for two years, and it's finally getting ready. Weber said.

"The library has to be built for two years!" Afkana said.

"This is not an ordinary small library, I heard that the collection has 6,000 to 10,000 volumes, even the royal library, and it is not as good as the collection here. The young master respects professional scholars very much, and often says that he wants to turn Peon into a capital of learning. Rafa said.

"This place is so good, it's not an exaggeration to say it's the City of Angels. Afkana praised.

Such a territory is not inferior to the royal capital at all, and it also surpasses the Saxon royal palace where she once stayed, and if her future territory can develop to a quarter or even a fifth of this, it is a luxury.

After passing the library and walking a little further, they came to a river bank in the middle of the city.

"There seems to be black smoke, where is it?" This time it was Rafa who asked.

"Ah, I almost forgot, that's Gumang Island, which is responsible for the research and production of weapons, and has invited a lot of alchemists, under the jurisdiction of the young master, and I haven't been there, in Barsai County, there is no pass, only birds can go to that place, don't take a boat to wander around there. Weber policed.

After passing through the outer city, Afkana enters a more prosperous place, where both carriages are raised to enjoy the view, while Weber acts as a guide to explain the extraordinary aspects of the city.

"We entered the inner city, which is different from the nine districts of the outer city, it is only divided into the south area, the north area and the forbidden area, the south area is the perimeter of the Frata Cathedral, the northern area is the high-end entertainment area and the noble area, and the forbidden area is the perimeter of the Moonlight Palace.

"And where are we going?" Rafa was not as frightened as Afkana, when he was in the Persian Empire, he lived in the capital Baghdad, frankly speaking, if it is only prosperous, Baghdad is a few floors higher than here, after all, it is the capital of a country with 30 million people, but this city has also developed extremely powerfully, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a king.

"Of course it's a forbidden area, the Moonlight Palace in Peon City, there are hundreds of empty rooms, I'll take you to where I live!"

In fact, Webber was not well-established, and he only rented a house on a street near the forest in the restricted area.

"Weber, you're back. ”

"You're not dead yet, stinky boy. ”

"There's a new shipment, come on. ”

As they passed through an entertainment street in the North District, several young knights' children called Weber.

"I'll be looking for you in a few days. Weber said hello.

It didn't take long.

"Hum. "Hundreds of bells rang in unison, melodious and melodious, resounding throughout the city.

"This is the chiming clock of the city of Peon, great! The other castles, which are a few miles away at most, are enlarged by the young lord in order to give the people an accurate idea of the time, and it rings every morning at six o'clock every six hours, all year round, and can be heard anywhere in the county of Barseille. Weber explained.

At the same time, Randall, who had returned to the city earlier, finished freshening up and came to a study in the Moonlight Palace, supported by an old man who had taken care of him since he was a child.

There was a white-haired man, well-groomed, without the common ailments of the old aristocracy, such as a beer belly and other greasy fat, this man had a goatee, and his eyes were sharp and fierce - like those of an eagle.

He was the Marquis of Boni, with forty warships, 900,000 people, and a great nobleman in the four counties of the kingdom.

Seeing Randall enter the room, he put down his pen, took a sip of tea, and made a contemplative gesture, with the charm of a mature man.
