Chapter 30: What the King Sees and Hears (Asking for Vote)
Ryan and the others were allowed to leave after a brief identification check.
Through the straight and wide avenue, Ryan finally saw the prosperity and majesty of the kingdom's capital with his own eyes. The last time he came was when his predecessor was tested for transcendent power.
"Wow, there are so many people, it's so lively." Little Amy poked her head out of the carriage and said with a surprised face, like Ryan had just entered the metropolis in his previous life.
"Cut, what's all the fuss about." Susan, who was in the same carriage as him, immediately gave him a look of contempt.
Then he put his eyes on the animal skin book in his hand again, and looked at it with relish.
Amy put her little head back into the carriage and said happily, "But it's really the first time I've seen so many people." ”
Seeing that Susan ignored him, he looked curiously at the book in her hand, who knew that he felt dizzy after just looking at it, because it was full of words like tadpoles.
He didn't even know all the lingua franca, so he couldn't understand these things.
"Susan, can you read what is written on this? You're amazing. Amy said with a look of adoration.
"Hmph, of course, I'm extraordinary, there is no language or writing in this world that I can't learn, and I can still talk to small animals."
When Susan heard this, she immediately raised her head proudly, like a tsundere white swan.
"That's amazing, but what's the use? One language is enough of a headache, why learn so much. Amy scratched her head and said honestly.
Susan immediately blew up, stared at Amy like a kitten, and said loudly, "Who said it was useless!" My brother said that I would become the best translator and become a plant and animal scientist in the future! ”
"But what is a translator and a plant and animal scientist, why didn't the teacher say ......?"
"You haven't heard of this, of course it's ......" Speaking of this, Susan was also stunned, these are all nouns that Ryan inadvertently came up when talking to him, and she didn't know what it meant.
For a while, the atmosphere in the carriage froze a little......
The old butler Deman soon found an inn that matched their status, and the high price of fifty silver deles a day was high, and the old butler waved his hand to book it for a month, and his wealth was vividly displayed.
Alan and Delai, the two poor ghosts, also looked envious, when would they be able to roar like this.
Only Ryan felt his heart being deeply stabbed, it was all money, my money!
After arranging the carriage and horses' luggage, Ryan began to think about the next process, this time with the following things:
First of all, he needs to take Amy to test his supernatural powers, and then he goes to the largest library in the kingdom, where he desperately needs to acquire this knowledge of the world.
Finally, the canonization ceremony is now, and it is only October 15, and there are still more than ten days before the ceremony, so there is plenty of time left for him.
"So, let's take a good walk around this ancient city on the first day." After Ryan decided, he called Alan and Delai. Karinman and the two children were tired and wanted to rest.
In the end, only the well-informed old butler Deman was left with them, in fact, to put it bluntly, to be their ATM.
As soon as he entered the city, Ryan discovered that the city was different from the Western cities in his previous life.
Although the architecture is similar, the streets are unusually spacious, large enough for several horse-drawn carriages to run side by side. The cleanliness is also relatively high, and there is no such scene of feces and urine flowing everywhere.
There are all kinds of shops, pubs, and all kinds of hawkers, and the patrols that pass by from time to time also make people feel safe.
Ryan even saw a lot of foreign people, with colorful hair and different skin tones, which for a while gave him the illusion of returning to the time when he was studying abroad in his previous life.
It's also worth noting that the trail of magic doesn't seem mysterious in the city.
Walking along the road, he could see mages in cloaks and shops that openly sold magic potions, but the high prices discouraged him.
In addition, you can also see all kinds of magical beasts, some of which have been domesticated as mounts, some have been sold as goods, and some have even been used as food.
Regardless, the city seems to be full of civilization, which seems very different from the average feudal kingdom, which Ryan attributes to the gradual spread of magic.
Yes, magic is slowly spreading in this ancient country, and its mysteries are being lifted little by little.
Magic potions, weapons, armor, and magic scrolls that grant magical powers......
Although these things are expensive, they make magic accessible to more people, thus promoting the progress of society.
Ryan felt that he needed to take a closer look at the world, Tistan's hidden power was huge, and such a prosperous and huge country was still beaten by the orcs and couldn't lift his head.
Although there are reasons for the nobles to restrain each other and touch the fish, the orcs are not only facing the kingdom of Tistan, it is also invading several races and countries in the east and west of the continent at the same time.
Such strength is terrifying.
"It seems that my estimate of the orcs is still a little low, and I need to be more prepared." Ryan thought to himself.
The group looked around and unconsciously came to the other side of the city, where the veil of civilization, prosperity and peace of the city was ruthlessly torn apart, revealing the darkness that was covered below!
Slave markets, gladiatorial arenas, casinos, taverns with that kind of business......
Savagery, lust, blood, brutality......
Like an animal, it only takes five kindlers to buy a healthy and strong slave, and with a little more money you can get a young and beautiful "good good".
The small ones only need a few dozen silver deles for you to take away......
In the gladiatorial arena, humans and beasts fought bloodily, the transcendent fought with monsters, and countless aristocratic lords wantonly squandered money and vented their brutal desires in the stands.
One by one, drunk women were taken away, and what would happen later could be imagined with their toes.
Along the way, one by one it was shocking, when he saw a slave who did not want to be sold being killed on the spot, countless people applauded and cheered.
Ryan suddenly realized that this was the real world, and that what he had seen before was nothing more than a castle in the air, as fragile as a bubble.
With just a slight movement, these real worlds, hidden by civilization, are exposed, savage and bloody.
"That's the nature of this world, Ryan, and you must not be fooled by appearances." He secretly admonished himself in his heart.
"Ahh
A scream was heard, and Ryan looked back to see that it was a commoner who had accidentally angered a nobleman and had his nose cut off on the spot by the nobleman's guards.
The people around watched with great interest, and no one blamed the nobles for their actions, as if everything was taken for granted.
"Alas, live well, only if you survive first will you be eligible to go to the table and participate in the shuffling ......"
Ryan looked away and stopped looking at the vendor struggling for help. sighed slightly, he was struggling for survival, where could he control others.
Fortunately, he was luckier than most people......
