Volume 1 Chapter 365 Maple City

The landforms of the mountain passes on both sides of the Jade Dragon Gorge are similar, but it seems that the Dragon King Empire pays more attention to the environmental problems here, and here they have set up some magic circles to improve the environment, compared to the side of Mingde City, the snow here is significantly reduced, and under the not deep snow, a little bit of green can be faintly seen.

However, this place belongs to the Arctic Circle, and no matter how man-made it is, there is no way to resist the forces of nature. After coming out of the Jade Dragon Gorge, the further south you go, the less green it gets, and the more obvious the typical tundra landform of the North Pole becomes, and this tundra landform extends all the way to Fengcheng, the northern fortress of the Dragon King Empire.

Because of the high terrain, after coming out of the Jade Dragon Gorge, you can see the majestic city Fengcheng standing proudly between heaven and earth.

The location of the construction of Fengcheng is different from Mingde City, which belongs to the plain landform, there are no mountains, and naturally there is no natural gap for the Dragon King Empire to build a defensive fortress relying on natural dangers, of course, with the strength of the Dragon King Empire, they have always invaded others, and there has been no record of any country invading the Dragon King Empire, so they do not need a defensive city or fortress like Mingde City, so Fengcheng is built on the plain, and a male city rises from the ground, which is such a situation.

Because it is located in the north, most of the entire province is a plain landform, and according to the policy of the Dragon King Empire in the province of Laiwu, most of the cities in this province have been transformed into fortresses, and they have been combined through a series of joint magic arrays to form a defensive line covering the entire province. Maple City is the most important node of such a defensive line, and it is also one of the few cities inhabited by civilians in the Star Emperor's Laiwu Province.

Looking at Fengcheng from the exit of the Jade Dragon Gorge Canyon, it is obvious that this city is very different from the cities of the Star Empire. The city is not a boxy rectangle, but a standard polyhedron shape, but it is not clear how many faces there are. What Ren Tianxiang could see, there were three gates in the city, and according to his guess, if the city was symmetrical, then the city had a total of six gates. On the outskirts of the city, there is a river that leads down from the Changbai Mountains, which surrounds the city and forms the moat of the city. Secondly, the most striking thing is that there is a towering spired round tower at the junction of the two sides of the city's walls, and you can see that each tower has a magic circle in operation on it.

This is the first city in the north of the Dragon King Empire, Maple City, the only trading city in the Dragon King Empire and the Star Emperor Kingdom, and the largest city in the north of the Dragon King Empire.

From a distance, you may not feel much of it, but the closer you get to Maple City, the more you can feel the grandeur of the city. It wasn't until you stood in front of the gate of the city and looked at the walls that stretched on both sides that you could intuitively feel what a miracle was.

The walls of Maple City are sixty meters high, which is five times the standard fortress walls of the Star Emperor Kingdom and the Dragon King Empire. Most of the materials used in the walls are made of Naseri ore. This ore is the hardest natural ore that can be found in the territory of the Dragon King's Empire, and is named after the geologist who first discovered it, Mean Kariminaseri. The strength of the walls built using this ore is unknown to be much stronger than the standard fortress walls of the Star Empire. Of course, the output of this kind of ore Dragon King Empire is not much, and in order to build such a symbolic city as Maple City, it consumed two-thirds of the Naseri ore reserves of the Dragon King Empire.

Because there was no way to conduct on-the-spot surveys, and there was no data on Fengcheng in the Dragon Club's database, after listening to Wang Zhen's description, Ren Tianxiang estimated that the area of Fengcheng might be roughly four-fifths of the area of the Demon Capital, where the Dragon Club's headquarters was located. This is a very astonishing statistic, you know, although the magic capital is an international metropolis, but it is also based on the continuous development of human industrial and technological civilization. In the Dragon King Empire, which was still in a feudal society dominated by agriculture, it was really a miracle to build such a big city in this era.

Generally speaking, one of the problems faced by such a large city is transportation. Because horseback riding is not allowed in the city, it takes a day or two to get from one side of the city to the other, which is undoubtedly a very big obstacle to the development of the multi-store model of the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, in order to cope with the transportation problems in the city, Fengcheng opened public railcars and freight carriages in the city. These horse-drawn carriages, which transport people or goods, were opened by the Castle Lord's Mansion of Maple City, and they were a means of transportation that could be operated in the city with the permission of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Because the horses of the Mingwei caravan were powerful, at about a quarter past eleven, the entire caravan had stopped in front of a city gate directly north of Fengcheng to be inspected.

These inspections are necessary procedures, mainly to check whether the goods are carrying contraband and whether the caravan personnel have passes issued by the city lords of Fengcheng and Mingde City. Of these two checks, only the former required a large number of soldiers to carry out the inspection, and the latter only required the caravan leader to hand over the pass of the owner.

Ren Tianxiang and their actions this time, the Star Emperor Kingdom has the Shadow Guard in charge, and the Dragon King Empire has Mi Diewei in charge, things like customs clearance procedures and identity certificates are already ready, and they don't need to worry about it at all.

When following the caravan through the city gate, Xing Lingluo looked back at the heavily armed soldiers, then pulled Ren Tianxiang's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Tianxiang, do you think that our journey is too smooth? ”

Ren Tianxiang turned his head to look at Xing Lingluo, who was full of suspicion, smiled, and said leisurely: "You don't see whose light we are." If it weren't for your aunt, I wouldn't know how to get in. ”

"What do you think my aunt is in the Dragon King Empire?"

"I don't know, but since she can command Midiewei, her status will definitely not be low. ”

"Do you think we're really going to be able to find my grandma?"

"Okay, don't think about it, since your aunt is willing to vouch for you, it means that she will definitely be able to find your grandmother. Now, we just need to arrive in Heart City as originally planned and meet your aunt. ”

"Let's hope so, may all go well. Xinglingluo nodded.

At this time, Marcus Zema, who had handed over the pass to the guards, rushed up and said to Ren Tianxiang: "Ren Gongzi, when you enter the city, you don't have to follow us." I will explain your whereabouts to Mr. Wang, and the people sent from above are already waiting for you at the unloading point in the city. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Klingberg, for your inconvenience. ”

"Where, where, this is what I have to do, for the Empire. ”

"For the Empire. ”
