As the capital of the Empire, Zomintos was naturally the most prosperous city in the entire Minoan Empire. Economically, he is the equivalent of the 'Port of Nurem' in his previous life. In terms of population, it is equivalent to the Demon Capital Imperial Capital in the previous life.

In terms of area, it is like a mountain town, at least in this era, its area is unimaginable, and even accounts for one-ninth of the entire province of Knossos.

From the outer city to the inner city, that is, within the city walls, there are several main roads, paved with earth magic, so that they are neat and orderly, there is no horizontal drop, and the carriages on them can run at great speed, carrying the citizens back and forth.

And Xavier just took a ride in such a carriage, although the price is quite expensive, at least fifteen euros at a time, which is more expensive than the last time I stayed in a hotel, but the experience is always inevitable to cost a little more.

At least the journey was comfortable, and it didn't take long for Xavier to travel from the outer city to the city walls, and get off outside the inner city station.

There are many differences between the inner city and the outer city, except that it is surrounded by a wall, and the road is much narrower than the outer city, and a large road can usually only allow four horse-drawn carriages at a time, which is probably the reason for the increase in population density.

Moreover, there are more ditches than in the outer cities, and at least next to each road, a large number of drainage outlets can be seen to prevent heavy rains.

In addition, the buildings in the inner city are also taller than those in the outer city, and there are many buildings with five or six floors, which can accommodate many citizens.

The highest height among them was naturally the magic tower that the previous soldier captain pointed out to Xavier, which was much higher than the wall surrounding the inner city, which was why Xavier could see it in the outer city just now.

According to the Captain of the Soldiers, and the results of Xavier's questioning with passers-by just now, Xavier now knew that the Capital Swordsman Guild had joined forces with the Magic Association and the Imperial Central University, and the three were built together in the center of the inner city on the left side.

At the same time, there was a river that flowed from the outer city to the inner city, and from the inner city to the outer city, dividing the imperial capital into different regions, with the eastern part of the river naturally being the eastern district, the southern part being the southern district, and so on.

Xavier, on the other hand, only needs to walk to the vicinity of the central square and cross the river via the bridge to reach the Swordsman Guild.

The so-called central square is actually a large open space, the size of at least ten standard football fields, and there is a statue in the middle, engraved with the founder of the Minoan Empire - Minos I.

Next to the statue, there is a very high platform, which is presumably given to the big people to give speeches here, and then the people can gather around and listen.

And today, on such a day, about thousands of people crowded the entire central square, waiting for each other to start the speech, and some citizens took advantage of this opportunity to sell goods and make a little quick money, after all, this kind of scene of many people gathering may only be seen once in a long time.

Among them, there are also many people who have taken a fancy to this black-haired swordsman and have sold goods to him.

"Brother, brother, can you buy me a match?" it was a little girl's voice.

"Please, I haven't eaten in a few days, can you take a look at my paintings?" was a young man's voice.

"Little brother, your sword is quite sharp, do you want to strengthen it?" it was an old man's voice.

Looking at his thinner and thinner wallet, Xavier still endured the pressure, ignored most of the voices, and cheekily passed by.

However, there are even more shameless people who actually stand directly in front of Xavier and refuse to let him pass.

"Mr. Swordsman, do you want to see my paintings?" the young man said to Xavier.

"I'm sorry, I'm a vulgar person who doesn't appreciate art. Xavier refused outright and stepped aside to try to avoid it.

But in the next second, the young man's words made Xavier successfully stop and raise interest.

"Sir, do you want to be stronger?"

Hearing this, Xavier couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then turned around and squatted down, and asked the young man sitting on the ground:

"Yes, but what can you do? I think that's all you have. ”

"Shhhh The man looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I won't hide it from you, the painter is just one of my identities, I am actually a magician!"

"Hmm. Xavier snorted, "Then since you're a magician, why don't you go to the Magic Association?"

"Uh, good question. For a moment, the 'magician' didn't know how to answer, but he still quibbled, "But does it matter, whether I'm a magician or not, anyway, I have the means to make you stronger." ”

"Okay, then you say. Xavier replied with a smile on his face, and although he was almost sure that the person in front of him was a liar, he still wanted to hear what the liar was talking about.

"I have a magic lamp. The young man took out a metal oil lamp from the pile of debris behind him, "As long as you touch it three times and shout 'Lamp God, Lamp God', a lamp god will come out and grant your three wishes." ”

Why did even Aladdin's magic lamp come out, Xavier couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then responded with a smile, "What you said is so powerful, why don't you use it yourself and make you rich?"

"That's a shame. The young man sighed, "I have used up all that money, and the lamp god is not omnipotent, it can only fulfill wishes within your ability, and each person can fulfill a maximum of three wishes." ”

"For example, my first wish was to make me rich, just like you think, so the lamp god let me go to the casino that day, and then I won a full kilogram of Lang back!"

"Unfortunately, I used them all up. The young man said with a look of remorse.

"Then you have a second and a third wish, you can always be rich again, don't tell me you spent them again. Xavier still didn't quite believe the words of the man in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

"That's why I'm here!" the young man couldn't help but raise his voice a little louder, then looked around again, lowering his voice again, "I might as well tell you, Mr. Swordsman, my wife is now critically ill and is only a little short of the harvest of death, so I made a wish to the god of lights." ”

"And it told me to sell this magic lamp to any passer-by in the central square, so that my wife would be cured, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come out and sold it to you!"

Hehe....... Hearing this, Xavier couldn't help but shake his head: "Your story is well told, but do you think, I will believe you?"

"You'll believe me, the god of lights told me, you'll buy it, and it only costs twenty crowns. The young man looked determined.

"Then I'm afraid the lamp god is going to be disappointed. Xavier ignored the man, leaving his back behind and leaving the place directly.

He didn't bother to listen to this liar anymore, who would really buy such a thing for twenty crowns!

It's a fool! It's so expensive!

As for the young man, he could only look at Xavier's back in vain, showing a desperate expression.

But in the next moment, he gritted his teeth again and shouted at his back:

"Wait, sir, how about ten crowns?"

"Don't!"

"Five crowns!"

Xavier's footsteps stopped.

~~~~~~~

Dozens of minutes later.

Inside a hotel.

Xavier picked up his right hand and slapped it the face, revealing a wry smile.

What a fool I am....... He thought as he looked at the oil lamp in front of him.
