Chapter 22: The City of Plenty

On the main road leading to Darius, the capital of abundance, Latis hummed a little song, and his little hand tossed a small bag of exquisite gold wire, and his mood was unusually wonderful.

When Radis told Hannibal, the paladin leader who had a lot of money at first glance, that he wanted to go to the church of Darius to buy holy water and crystals of faith, the purpose was to research and see if he could use the mage to make himself a cleric of the Lord of Light.

Naturally, no one believed this set of arguments, but Hannibal immediately wrote him a letter of introduction and a token representing his identity without saying a word, although I don't know what the weight of these two things is, but according to his meaning, if it is only the right to buy some holy water and a small number of faith crystals, it is completely more than enough.

Not only that, but he also wanted to give some of the Faith Crystals he was carrying on him to Radis.

Although Radis was pleasantly surprised, he couldn't ask for him in vain, and insisted on giving money - the relationship had just been established, and there was no need to spend it for a little gold coin.

At Lades' insistence, Hannibal had no choice but to accept the gold coins at the lowest price, even so, the more than 10,000 gold coins brought out by Radis still shrank by eighty, but the money Lades spent happily.

He immediately used the alchemy props on his body to send a short-range magic message to his father, and he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and continued to embark on the journey to Darius - since he came out, of course he had to collect as much faith power as possible, and finally got the way, there was no reason not to use it, as for the gold coins, it was never a problem.

···············

Opening the pocket casually, a quail egg-sized golden gem is quietly placed in it, Laceis pinched one up, put it in front of his eyes and carefully examined it, the translucent gems sparkle in the sun, dazzling.

While looking at it, Lates said to himself unhappily: "That dead man's face is really black! I originally thought that he would increase by half at most, but now it seems that I am afraid that the price will be more than ten times more!"

The size of the Crystal of Faith in his hand now was the normal size, and it contained the power of faith that could only be produced by at least 100,000 or more devout believers praying for a whole day.

At that time, with the cost of holy water and baptism, Mia asked him for 5,500 gold, and now Hannibal sold him only 8,000 gold for the seven regular-sized crystals.

When the price is compared, Latis simply swallowed Mia's heart.

I really slaughtered him like fat meat!

But then again, even the fingernail-sized crystallization of faith actually provided enough energy to construct the projection of the Durandal Holy Sword, which shows how high the density of energy is, if you extrapolate from this, the foundation and strength of the Sogo Church are enough to speculate on part of it - just the tip of the iceberg revealed in this aspect is already enough to make people dare not underestimate it.

It can only be said that the Lord of Radiance is worthy of being the strongest among the seven gods in this plane and the one with the most believers, although there are also believers in several other gods in the human countries, but the Lord of Radiance, who occupies the main position of faith in the race with the largest population base of the human race, is indeed much stronger than several gods in other races.

Faith is divine power - in terms of population base, other races are really incomparable to humans.

In such a cranky thought, Laces grasped the crystal of faith tightly, and began to pray silently on the speeding big black carriage, and the crystals in his hands then released a steady stream of strong faith power, following Radis's spiritual power into the consciousness space, and then was unceremoniously absorbed into the mythical stone tablet space.

With his current strength, he naturally can't absorb such a huge amount of energy in one go, so he can only guide it slowly, and time flies quickly when he concentrates on doing one thing, and when he finishes absorbing this crystallization of faith, the majestic walls of the Rich City have been faintly displayed in the distance.

·················

The city of Böchal is famous for its abundance, and the city of Darius, as the main city of the county of Böchal, is located in the center of this god-given land, occupying the most fertile land in the entire kingdom of Chris.

This alone can imagine the richness of Darrys City, in fact, the Rich City is responsible for most of the material supplies of the entire kingdom, and is a well-deserved economic hub, if the royal city of Sidlem is the head of the entire kingdom, then Darrys City can be said to be the heart of the kingdom.

As the lord of the city, the Marquis of Norlando, who is the lord of the entire county of Beauchar, is not only the eldest brother of the current king of the Chriss Kingdom, but also the king's right-hand man, and has been watching and helping the royal family, and the unbreakable relationship between the two has given the entire kingdom a stable environment for the steady development of the entire kingdom.

Even now in winter, the city is still bustling with activity between vast plains and rolling hills, with roads leading into the pale yellow walls that carry countless convoys and people into this rich and beautiful city.

After hundreds of nearly 1,000 years of development, the area of Darius City has continued to expand, and each expansion will build a larger area of the surrounding city wall on the periphery, and from a bird's-eye view of the city's appearance, you can see that the entire city is divided by a circle of city walls, and the ring-like texture seems to tell the city's long history.

It wasn't the first time Lades had been here, but every time he saw the neat walls of the same color up close, he couldn't help but be amazed by the fact that it was a sight that would never have been seen on Earth in his previous life.

You know, the outermost city wall is only newly built, there are 14 floors of a city wall like this, the more you go to the center of the city, the longer the history of the city wall, the more ancient the atmosphere left on these city guardians, here, you can often feel the architectural style left by different eras, plus the high-rise bizarre buildings built on the inner multi-storey city wall, the stone bridges and stone stairs that crisscross the city, and the semi-suspended streets built around the wall······

These seemingly whimsical, but in fact perfect use of urban space, bring endless novelty and exploration to those who come to the city.

I wonder how many secrets the city holds, but not even the breeze that blows around every corner can answer my question – and this is best summed up in the words of the famous bard Engema Wind Whisperer when he came to the city.

All in all, the combination of a thick but layered and progressive sense of the times with this unique urban structure has created a captivating and ever-changing yet cohesive city.

While admiring the city's scenery, Radis slowly drove into the city with the traffic······
