The prosperity of the Grin Imperial Capital is absolutely unimaginable for a native bag from the countryside like Surdak......

The floating imperial city overhead is like a miracle monument suspended in the sky above the imperial capital, probably the people here are used to it, and no one on the street is like Surdak, standing on the steps and looking up at the sky.

The people who can enter and exit the portal of the teleportation hall are almost all nobles, and the teleportation fee here is not cheap......

Perhaps it was too high, Surdak didn't see the large magic array on the floating mountain, he could only see the two magic towers on the edge of the walls of the royal city that held up the huge barrier.

The Floating King City hung overhead, which made Surdak feel a little depressed in his heart, the sky of this city was not free.

Surdak felt that the palace could be suspended in the air, and it must have relied on the power of magic.

"Is it the first time you've come to the imperial capital?"

An old voice sounded behind him......

Surdak turned around and saw an old magician in a dark green magic robe staring at him with a smile, so he nodded very politely and asked with a smile, "How do you know that I am coming to the imperial capital for the first time?" ”

This sentence is tantamount to admitting the problem of the old magician.

The old magician's beard was white, his face was full of wrinkles, and his old skin looked a little loose.

A magician who can live to this age, even if he has no outstanding achievements, his status must not be too low.

So Surdak behaved politely......

When the old magician saw that Surdak was very polite, he smiled and replied:

"Anyone who comes here for the first time will look up at the floating city stupidly like this, but generally everyone will put on such an expression at the pass of Mount Majaro, and there are really not many people who can look up at the royal city at the door of the teleportation hall......"

He stood side by side on the steps with Surdak and thought Surdak was funny, so he stopped and said a few jokes.

Surdak did not have any prejudice against the magician nobles, and when he saw that the old magician was talking very funny, he did not immediately go back, but said calmly:

"Yes, my first impression here is really shocking, it's the first time I've seen a palace floating in the sky, and just now I was wondering what kind of floating device is under this palace to hold this palace above the clouds......"

A magic caravan stopped at the bottom of the steps, and out of the carriage came a magic apprentice who saluted the old magician.

However, the old magician did not immediately walk down the steps, but stood beside Surdak and casually explained: "If it is really a matrix composed of floating devices that holds up the royal city, it is estimated that the magic crystals consumed every day will be an astronomical amount. ”

He raised his hand and said to the palace pedestal that looked like an upside-down mountain below the Floating King City:

"There is a huge floating stone under the floating imperial city, this ore itself has strong buoyancy, this palace is built on a floating stone, the designer of the palace is not only a magician, but also a master builder, when the palace was built, he skillfully used the floating stone buoyancy balance, and built this palace on this floating mountain."

Surdak was a little surprised: "So it's because of this huge mountain under the palace that it can float in the air?" ”

By this time, the old magician had already stepped down the steps, and he stood at the door of the carriage, turned his head and smiled at Surdak, and then said, "That's it......"

Surdak nodded again to the old magician, whose name he didn't even know, and said:

"I seem to understand when you say that."

The magic caravan carried the old mage out of the teleportation hall, and Surdak noticed that there were many magic caravans on the street at the entrance of the teleportation hall, and he waved his hand, and immediately a magic caravan drove up, slowly stopping at the bottom of the steps.

Surdak boarded the magic caravan and gave the coachman an address.

The coachman quoted Surdak for the fare, and he had to pay three silver coins, and if it was in Bena City, one silver coin would have traveled almost the entire city.

Even the fare is so expensive in the imperial capital......

As the magic caravan slowly merged into the busy street, Surdak saw that many of the buildings on both sides of the street looked like palaces, the walls of which were carved with beautiful reliefs, and the doors of each building were flanked by colossal statues.

The street trees on both sides of the street are also towering giant trees, although the street can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages alongside, but the giant trees on both sides of the road form a green dome on this street, and the magic caravan can still feel a hint of shade when driving on the street.

Unlike Bednar City, some young aristocrats can also be found everywhere on the streets of the imperial capital.

If it's in Bena City, even the young nobles like to sit in magic caravans, and they don't travel on their legs, because they think only commoners do that.

And on the side of the imperial capital, there are obviously more nobles on the street than commoners......

Along the way, Surdak saw several high-end restaurants, touched his rumbling stomach, and considered whether to stop for a bite to eat.

However, this idea was only dispelled after thinking about it in my heart.

……

The Malakom merchant's residence in the Imperial Capital was in the Seventh District, which was almost the outermost part of the Imperial Capital, and when the magic caravan arrived at its destination, Surdak realized that the coachman had quoted a price of three silver coins, which was really not too high.

This section of the road is much farther than Surdak thought, from the bustling neighborhood to the civilian area, most of the workshops on this side of the imperial capital are close to the civilian area.

The buildings here are somewhat tightly arranged, and most of the detached buildings have a narrow warehouse at the back.

The area was already built on a gentle slope, and the further you went to the edge, the higher the terrain became, and Surdak found that it looked like it should be at the foot of a ridge.

And this ridge of the mountain showed a perfect arc in Surdak's eyes, and when his eyes looked along the ridge to the left and right, he found that this ridge was like a huge ring.

This is the imperial capital......

Surdak looked at the rows of buildings in front of him and sighed with emotion.

This is the political center of the Grimm Empire, and it is the most prosperous place.

Before he had time to admire the rented house of the merchant Malakom, Malakom rushed out of the small building with a group of people, a large group of maids and servants, they trotted all the way out, and the red carpet was spread directly to Surdak's feet with their arrival.

Malacombe looked much fatter than he had last met, and it was clear that life here was comfortable.

It's been so long, and Malacum was a little excited when he saw Surdak.

Originally, he ran a Thunder Rhino merchant group in the White Forest Plane, and now his trading house has not only expanded to Bena City, but even to the Imperial Capital.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Surdak's support, from the hard carapace of the ghost-patterned red ant to the copper ingots of the Invercargill Forest copper mine, and now it is Surdak's main purchaser in the imperial capital, and along the way, the business is getting bigger and bigger.

Malakom's accommodation here is not very large, with only two floors and a terrace above the roof.

The servants lived on the ground floor, Malacombe sat on the second floor with his two young wives, and the warehouse behind the small building was also rented by him, and he lived here in large part because of the supply warehouse behind it.

Almost all of the supplies he procured for Surdak were stored in warehouses, including crates of magical structures, crossbow arrows, and some magic weapons.

Surdak sat in the reception room, with the merchant Malakum standing aside......

When the two met, Surdak was still a small baron, and the two could still sit together and chat casually.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Surdak actually became the Earl, and for Malacombe, he could only stand in front of Surdak.

"I really didn't expect you to come to the imperial capital at this time!"

Surdak looked at the magic weapons hanging on the walls of the living room, swords, spears, hunting bows......

Said casually: "The battle on the Moyunling side is quite smooth, so the military department has decided to give me two months of family leave, and the travel arrangement is to take the portal in the teleportation hall to return to Bena directly after arriving in Evorson City, but since I have to pass through the imperial capital on the way, I thought about stopping and taking a look everywhere......"

"I'm here this time to see the trading firm that sells standard magic pattern structures."

The expression on Malakom's face was a little tangled, and he hesitated for a moment but said:

"Originally, there was nothing wrong with this matter, but it just so happened that the war in the ice and snow tundra broke out, and as the operator of the trading firm, that Lady Arya took people to the north, and now there is only one temporary person in charge of your trading firm, but he can't decide on the magic pattern construction transaction."

"You're going to buy another batch of Demonic Fabrics?" Malakum asked, somewhat surprised.

During this time, he successively purchased more than 1,000 sets of magic pattern constructs for Surdak, guessing that he may have completely emptied Surdak's wallet, and the current Count Surdak is afraid that there is a financial crisis, and he has not even mentioned the final payment......

"Of course, I'm going to customize another thousand sets of Demonic Pattern Builds, and this time it's best to focus on defensive ones." Surdak said.

"You're going to form the Fourth and Fifth Constructed Knights?" Malakum asked, taking a cool breath.

He couldn't even suppress the sharp tone when he asked this question.

The great lords of Bena Province almost always form a team of armored swordsmen, but the usual expenses of this kind of elite army are also a lot of money, and the lords basically form two groups of armored swordsmen, anyway, when they go on the expedition, almost all of them combine everyone's army to form a coalition.

Surdak is now starting to form a fifth Constructed Knights, and although he doesn't have a heavy cavalry regiment in his hands, this force is more than most of the lords in Bena Province.

Malakom's biggest concern was that Surdak might not be able to pay for this huge military expenditure in the future if he took too many steps.

Surdak nodded and said, "Recently, I just bought a batch of black-scaled horses from the Western Knight Alliance, so I am going to form two more Constructed Knights, and I just passed through the Imperial Capital, so I wondered if I could buy this batch of Demon Pattern Formations......

Listening to Surdak talk about expanding the army, Malakom completely understood that Surdak should be preparing for the next battle of Moyunling.

And the demon army on Moyun Ridge should have brought him a huge fortune, and he will continue to contact the Demon Pattern Fabrication Trading Firm.

Knowing that there was no way to meet with the head of the trading house, Surdak was not overly entangled.

Then the two chatted about some other topics in the living room, and the Malakom merchant saw a lot of new things in the imperial capital, which were basically the application of some magic rune boards in life.

He led Surdak to visit this inconspicuous little building, and kept explaining to Surdak what it was and what it was......

"It is said that the people of the imperial capital will enjoy it, but after arriving in the imperial capital, I found that the life here is really an aristocratic life......"

"Ceiling fan, magic lamp, refrigerator, and a monthly magic newspaper......"

Under Malacombe's introduction, Surdak can be regarded as seeing this series of magical items that are not magical, but they are definitely very useful.

Although it felt very novel, he always had a little sense of déjà vu in his heart, and he was not too surprised to see this......

"You should go to the opera house to listen to an opera, that's the real art......"

"I saw a battleship on the shore of Weiyang Lake that has not yet been built, and it is said that the battleship can cross space ......"

Malakom and Surdak chatted until late, and after Malakon prepared a sumptuous dinner for Surdak, he was accompanied by Malakon and returned to his luxury hotel in the center of the imperial capital in a magic caravan.

Although he didn't meet the person in charge of the trading house, Surdak actually had no regrets, and it was worth the trip to see the prosperity of the imperial capital.

Malacombe said that if you have enough time, you can go to the airport town at the foot of the imperial capital mountain, take a magic airship back to Bena Province, and experience the airport town of the imperial capital.

But Surdak returned to the Grimm Empire this time, and the schedule was very tight.

Having been delayed on the road for some time, Surdak only wanted to be able to get back to Bena City as soon as possible.

At the door of the hotel, just as he stepped down from the magic caravan, he happened to see a group of people crowding a young nobleman to board a magic caravan, and the emblem of the magic caravan was so familiar......

"The magic caravan has the emblem of the Bussman family on it......" Malakom said.

Then he said with envy, "That is Quentin. Duke Bussman, who became a Duke at a young age, heard that he ...... with His Royal Highness Charles."
