The imperial capital of the Holy Spirit Empire is divided into three large regions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Plebeian area, noble area, no-go area.

This may be a bit general, for example, the plebeian area, which was not only inhabited by the people of the imperial capital, but also had a famous street that was indisputably inhabited by beggars.

In addition to the residence of some ordinary nobles, there were also some low-ranking officers of the empire, who also settled their families here.

As for the forbidden area, it was completely the place where the Holy Spirit Empire dynasty was established, as if it were an independent small city-state, a small city within a city.

William rode his horse and walked with Master Rhine through the outermost plebeian to the middle aristocratic quarter, outside a mansion.

William dismounted, and he went up and knocked on the door. A short time later, the side door of the mansion opened, and after a conversation with one of the servants, William and Master Rhine were welcomed into the mansion.

In a reception room, the owner of the mansion, Murfair, who held the position of inspector of the imperial capital, met with William and the others.

Last winter, due to the perennial war on the border, the Holy Spirit Empire had to raise taxes in the provinces and send inspectors to the provinces to inspect the implementation of the policy. The inspector sent to Kuwait Province was an old man named Murphy, who had some friendship with William's father, Bazado.

At that time, the Lester family was bankrupt and unable to pay taxes, and in the end, William, who had just invented beer, moved the old man, and the end result was that Murphyr invested 2,000 gold coins to fund the troubled Lester family.

"William, I haven't seen you for a year, I've grown a lot taller. ”

As soon as they met, Murfair immediately greeted him kindly. He hesitated and turned his head to look at Master Rhine on the side, "Who is this guest?"

"This is my friend, the junior magician, Mr. Rhine. ”

As William spoke, Master Rhein's 'grunt' sounded.

Master Rhine blushed a little.

Murfair hurriedly instructed the servant to start preparing dinner. "When I came to the imperial capital this time, I didn't tell me in advance, so that I could prepare. ”

William smiled awkwardly, hurriedly said a few polite words, and expressed his intention: "Uncle Murfair, this time I came to the imperial capital, in addition to passing by to borrow it for one night, I also brought something for you." ”

William glanced at Master Rhine, and Master Rhine immediately understood.

He rubbed the magic ring twice, a little light flashed, and a large heavy wooden box was taken out and placed on the ground, piled up all over the ground.

"According to the agreement, we will repay you 10,000 gold coins in a year's time. However, my father specially explained that in order to repay your kindness, we finally decided to repay it at ten times the price. This box contains two thousand gold coins, Uncle Murfair, how many can you count?"

William finished speaking in one breath, and Murfair was a little sluggish.

"Two thousand... Two thousand gold coins?" said Murphy, in disbelief.

In fact, since Murphy returned to the imperial capital to report on his duties, Murphy's wife has been complaining about her husband's private decision, blowing wind in his ears all night long, saying that the two thousand gold coins cannot be recovered.

Murphy was annoyed by the incident.

Out of the face of a man, whenever Murfair's wife talked about it, Murfair would always quarrel with his wife, telling her not to doubt her wise decision, Viscount Bazado was his friend, and his friend should be helped when he was in trouble.

However, months passed, and the Resters did not even have a letter.

Murphy felt a little sorry in his heart.

Just when he thought that this matter would end there, the two thousand gold coins he had privately invested would be wasted, but William came.

Murphy was instantly happy. He knew that the reason why William came to the door was probably because the Lester family's beer business had improved slightly, and he was ready to pay off the debt he owed at the beginning.

Ten thousand gold coins?

Murfair didn't think about it at all, he didn't ask for much, he just hoped that William would bring two thousand and pay off the money he had invested. Because only can you stop your wife's mouth and solve a family conflict.

But William brought not 2,000 gold coins, but 20,000 gold coins!

"Uncle Murfair, we're on a day's journey, and we're a little hungry, so let's move to the diner-room and see if the servants are ready for dinner." ”

Seeing that Murphyr was looking at the twenty heavy wooden boxes in front of him, and he couldn't react a little out of shape, William reminded with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go to the restaurant to eat first, and it's not easy to come all the way here. ”

Murphy's wrinkled face blossomed, and he became more and more kind to William.

With Murphy's indulgence, a sumptuous dinner was quickly served, William was satisfied, and Rhine was satisfied with the long-awaited fresh fish fillet.

In the evening, William and Master Rhein stayed at Murfair's house to recharge their batteries and prepare for tomorrow's journey.

Early the next morning, William woke up Master Rhine, who was sleeping lazily, and when the two said goodbye and left, William left thousands of gold coins and asked Murfair for something.

William wanted him to help him find the Imperial Capital Nobility District, the mansion that originally belonged to the Lester family, and buy back some of the things that had been sold.

Murphy agreed, threatening to get the deal done.

William was relieved.

He and Master Rhine both rode horses, left the imperial capital, and began to travel to a long-standing ancient city that was no less famous than the imperial capital, the magical holy city.

The location of the Magic Holy City is not far from the emperor. Under normal circumstances, it would take several days to ride a horse, but it took William and Master Rhine more than half a month to reach the foot of the Magic Holy City on horseback.

At the foot of the mountain, William looked at the endless mountains in front of him, like a giant dragon, winding and circling, but its peaks were towering into the clouds, as if the sky was about to be pierced, a heroic atmosphere, spontaneously born.

And on the highest peak, clouds and mist, a historic ancient city, half-hidden and half-hidden, revealed the tip of the iceberg.

And in the sky above William and Master Rhine, from time to time, a magician sitting on a wand flew by, in and out of the magical holy city.

Seeing this scene, for some reason, William suddenly felt the top gun in his chest, he took off the black noble hat on his head, pointed to the peak, and said to Master Rhine: "Do you see that mountain? The highest one." ”

"See. Rhine nodded.

"Someday, I'll be at the top!" said William.

"Mr. William, if you want to go to the peak, we can go to the top to see the scenery when we finish visiting the Magic Holy City. In fact, the scenery from above is also very good, and you can see the entire Canaan province from there. ”

William: "......"

William always found it difficult to communicate with Master Rhine.

Maybe it was a problem of his own language ability, or maybe it was a problem of Master Rhine's IQ, in short, Master Rhine completely misunderstood what William meant, and did not realize the slightest great ambition in his heart.

William didn't want to explain, and didn't bother to explain.

He rode his horse, followed by Master Rhine, and the two came to a small village at the foot of the mountain. After eating something at random and leaving the horses behind, William and the others began to go up the mountain.

Along the way, Rhine was tired of explaining various precautions for William in the Magic Holy City.

"Magic Holy City, you need to pay an expensive entrance fee to enter the city, ten gold coins per person. Even if you go out of town, you have to pay a fee. ”

"The Magic Holy City is a holy place in the hearts of all magicians, and you must not make trouble and break the rules in it. Otherwise, the consequences are very serious. ”

"The Holy City of Magic is also a famous trading place, where you can buy almost anything about magic. Magic scrolls, various crystals, magic scepters and much more. ”

The Rhine chattered a lot, and William, despite his impatience, kept these precautions in his heart.

When the Rhine mage finished his ramblings, he also arrived at the Magic Holy City.

Walking down the wide street, William soon sensed that this place was unusual.

In other places, magicians are all rare characters who are rare to see in a hundred years, but in the Magic Holy City, they are a handful.

And on both sides of the street, there are a lot of buildings. There are inns for magicians, restaurants for dining, and even tailors' shops, but most of the mage robes sold in them are orange, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, different colors and styles.

There are also shops that specialize in selling a variety of magic items, including magic scrolls, magic scepters, magic potions, magic books, and more.

However, the most incredible thing for William was the transaction price of various items. Here, even an ordinary Liu Ding actually needs a gold coin.

Here, it seems, silver coins are not used at all.

William walked all the way, looking left and right, satisfying the curiosity in his heart.

"The Magic Holy City, like the Imperial Capital, is also partitioned. There are low-level, intermediate, and high-level areas. We're in the lower zone right now. ”

Master Rhine explained as he led William to the intermediate area, and the sound of a hammer hitting 'ping pong' gradually reached William's ears.

William looked for prestige, and saw that there were many more blacksmith shops on both sides of the street, and some dwarfs with long beards and bare arms showing strong muscles were standing on benches and building weapons in the street.

William was stunned.

"These gnomes are dwarves. They are innate in forging tools and are recognized as blacksmiths of all races. ”

Rhine explained in a low voice, "Actually, although there are many magicians in the Magic Holy City, there are also many dwarves, and their superb forging skills can not only forge the best wands, but also the sharpest weapons, attracting many mercenaries to come here to deliberately customize a weapon." ”

William nodded.

He stopped by a blacksmith shop and watched a dwarf forge a suit of armor, and after watching for a while, he had his fill before following Mage Rhein to an ordinary-looking magic shop.
