The hardships of the whole journey are self-evident, the long and difficult road is uninstructed, the weather is like a furnace during the day and an ice cellar at night, and there are wild beasts and monsters that appear from time to time......

If he hadn't been familiar with this environment and his adoptive father's harsh training since he was a child, he would not have had the slightest doubt that he would have died in it.

And when he came to the town where his father had bought his belongings, exhausted and almost faint, the soldiers there looked at him with an incredible look. In the philosophy of these people, those who dare to cross this desert alone are either strong people who challenge their limits or crazy people who come to die.

Eventually, the soldier looked at his ID plate and the academy's entry badge before he believed his experience.

After all, his hometown of Fogate is too remote, and the imperial authorities have not built a portal there at all. There is no other way to get to this town than through the desert.

The unique thing about Dibo's life is that there are only nearly 100 simple civil huts, and the so-called business is only simple food and clothing. It wasn't until he arrived in a town on the other side of the desert that Dipo realized that his hometown was so simple and desolate.

Various people come and go, and the market sells a variety of fruits and vegetables. And such as alchemy shops, blacksmith shops, adventurers' guilds, and so on...... Everything here is incomparable to the hometown.

After a little replenishment, he set out on his journey again, and the silver on his body was only enough to make a simple lodging and drink, so he couldn't afford to hire a mount to get there, let alone the more expensive portals. And the territory of the empire is so vast that he has only completed half of the distance through the desert according to the map, and the rest of the road can only be completed by his feet.

So he hurried for another two months, and as the journey continued, what he saw and heard every day made him feel incredible and refreshing, until he arrived at Owa, the holy capital of the empire.

Although I have browsed the map dozens of times, I am still unbelievably shocked after seeing it with my own eyes, and I would never have imagined such a magnificent and majestic city without seeing it with my own eyes.

Relying on the largest and most famous mountain in the whole continent, Knier Yi Mountain, the three outer echelon defense walls of the Holy Capital, each of which is made of local materials at the beginning of its construction, are thickly stacked with Knier rocks, and then condensed and watered by magic, with a height of 100 meters, a width of dozens of meters, and the length is endless.

The city walls fit perfectly into the mountain cliff itself, forming the most basic protection for the city. The three entrances and exits of each city wall are usually guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are also magic creations on the city wall to patrol 24 hours a day to prevent accidents, plus a total depth of nearly 100 kilometers before and after, so that the city has an absolute guarantee.

Such a long span almost made Debo, who had only half a day to compete, almost collapse. Luckily, after seeing his qualifications, the guards recognized him and allowed him to use the portal to reach the center of the city, and then Debo made it to the arena in time for the game. All this coincidence makes Dipo wonder if his adoptive father has calculated everything.

Even if you don't count the outer defense and the more than 10,000 square kilometers of resource gathering area composed of pastures, forests, mines, caves, and fields, the living area of the inner city alone is more than 1,000 square kilometers.

When I arrived, I was in a hurry to participate in the competition, and I didn't have any attachment to watch it carefully. But now, when he stepped out of the arena, he was presented with a vast city scene that he had never seen before under the alternation of the sun and moon in the evening—the entire living area was clearly divided into three levels: upper, middle, lower, inner and outer rings.

Located on the top floor is the Imperial City Forbidden Zone, which can only be entered by people who are closely related to the imperial family or the top elites of the country, although the area is the smallest, but the majestic momentum of the building is unforgettable for ordinary people just by looking at it. The towering ivory tower, the majestic royal palace castle and the cathedral, all of which are predominantly white, look holy and solemn, and these are the only three buildings that Depo can see at the moment.

The central arena where he is located is the center of the entire living quarter, where the aristocratic district and the plebeian area meet. The smaller inner Central area, where the northern entrance is located, is the aristocratic district, and although the buildings here are not as luxurious and magnificent as those in the Imperial Forbidden Zone, the most important places in the city are gathered here, such as the major academies, the functional departments of the kingdom, the residences of the nobility, etc.

The larger outer outer ring where the south entrance and exit of the station is located is the civilian area that he is about to go to.

Although it is a civilian area, it is an area within the Holy Capital, and there are only a handful of prosperous areas in the entire empire that can be compared to here. Merchants, performers and bustling crowds of all kinds form a noisy night market that is about to begin. On both sides of the road are various taverns, mercenary houses, casinos...... It's fair to say that it has everything else in the Empire. (End of Chapter 6)
