Chapter 95: The Royal Capital of Tiran
After demonstrating the magic of alchemy to David, Newton did not continue to talk about alchemy.
The addiction to teaching had been greatly relieved, and now his mind had shifted to the raw materials of the Hammer of Judgment, and he had to study this unseen material in his free time.
"By the way, you two, where are you going next?"
It was only at this time that Newton remembered to ask David and Sharon where they were going, and after talking for more than a night, he didn't think about it, and reached an agreement with David in a daze.
"The royal capital of Tiran."
Newton was temporarily added, and the speed of travel of the three and two riders would be somewhat affected, but fortunately they were not far from Wangbei Town, and after arriving in Wangbei Town, Newton went to buy a horse as soon as possible.
The three of them then rested for the night in Wangbei Town, and the next day before dawn they set out on their journey again, galloping all the way to the south of the royal capital of Tiran.
The road went well, and during the occasional break, Newton would take the time to study David's Hammer of Judgment, and David would make full use of the agreement between the two men to ask the temporary consultant about whatever he saw to deepen his understanding of the world.
In general, in addition to the initial question about the distribution of power across the continent, you can also inquire about some differences between countries.
For example, the rise of the Kingdom of Tiran was not long, and two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Tiran was one of many small kingdoms and small principalities, and it was inconspicuous among countless human kingdoms.
However, in the last hundred years, the rise of the Kingdom of Tiran has been very strong, and it soon became the largest country outside the Sodurunma Empire.
In addition, the rise of the Kingdom of Tiran indirectly led to the establishment of the new Alan Federation, which was essentially a federation of countless small states that was born to counter three powerful neighbors.
The Holy Gaunt Kingdom is more of a religious state, and the religious atmosphere of the whole country is very strong;
The Sodurunma Empire is the most powerful and longest-standing human kingdom, although this empire has undergone countless changes over the years, and even the position of the emperor has changed several families, but the empire still continues, and has always maintained a strong power......
Listening to all kinds of miscellaneous information, the image of these names in David's mind gradually became fuller, and he was no longer as dry as before.
At the same time, he also knew that even a small country that survived in the gap between the big countries had a good military force, and the knights, court mages, and royal alchemists were almost the standard of all countries.
In a powerful country with a vast territory like the Four Human Kingdoms, some powerful lords will recruit mages and alchemists to serve them and form a knight order that is absolutely loyal to the lord.
A typical example, Dudley Morgan, Lord of Irontree Castle, has a well-armed and powerful Iron Tree Knights at his disposal.
Of course, the most powerful weapon of the Kingdom of Tiran is the Knights of Tiran, which is far stronger than the Knights of the Iron Tree, and this Knights is the sharpest sword of the Kingdom of Tiran when it conquers the entire north.
David curiously asked more about the Knights of Tiran, although the old alchemist didn't say much, but from just a few words, David was able to analyze: these knights of the Tilan Kingdom are probably much stronger than they expected; The top war horses in this world are probably no worse than the top war horses in Azeroth.
As for weapons and armor, he didn't ignore the armor that Fordin had helped sell at the beginning, and Gregory's armor was mixed with a special metal, which greatly increased the armor's defensive power.
He didn't think that what Gregory could get, the main forces of the Kingdom of Tiran wouldn't be able to get, maybe this armor was only standard in the hands of others, and it was very likely that he would wear a strengthened version.
"If you don't come out, you really don't know anything!"
David felt that he was really a hillbilly who didn't know anything, and he had made the right choice to come to the king this time.
Even if nothing is done in the end, just relying on this intelligence information, it is not a trip in vain.
As we approached the royal capital, the road gradually became wider and smoother, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and occasionally you could encounter caravans heading to the royal capital, transporting various special goods from remote cities to the royal capital of the Tiran Kingdom for sale, which was the main source of income for most caravans.
Because there were more pedestrians on the road, it was inconvenient for David and Sharon to continue to gallop their horses, and the speed of their march slowed down.
But even so, after a long journey of many days, they finally arrived at the royal capital of the Kingdom of Tiran, the royal city of Tiran!
"Very majestic royal capital."
Unlike the Iron Tree Castle, the Kings of Tiran had majestic walls, and only by entering the walls could you see the outer part of the royal capital.
Compared to Irontree Castle, the outer city of the royal capital of Tiran is much better - although it is still chaotic and full of flavors, it can be seen that it has been planned and reorganized, and the appearance of the commoners living in the royal capital is much better, and everyone seems to be busy.
Sharon led the horse and followed the surging crowd across the city wall into the city, and kept looking at the ordinary people around her: "The people here seem to be living well. ”
"That's because you're walking on the main road." Because of the ban in the city, Newton, who also dismounted, explained to the naïve Sharon why it looked good: "This road and the surrounding neighborhoods have a lot of people coming and going, and anyone who enters the royal capital has to pass through these main roads, so the Kingdom of Tiran will manage these roads properly." ”
Newton explained a few words, and Sharon understood that these streets were the façade of the Kingdom of Tiran, and if it was too ugly, the ruler of the Kingdom of Tiran would not look good.
"Since it's a façade? Why don't you govern it well? ”
"That's already good."
Newton's answer silenced Sharon, and the clever girl understood a lot through this sentence: the Kingdom of Tiran, one of the strongest human countries on the continent, also felt that such a façade was good enough, so what would some weak countries look like? What about those remote cities?
"If you want to see the worst of these big cities, explore the heart of the outer city." According to Newton, the area surrounding the inner city, bounded by the main road of the royal city, roughly divided into squares, the closer you get to the center of the square, the worse the living conditions become.
"What's next?" Sharon, who already had a plan in mind, was ready to take the time to go deep into the civilian area to take a look, although she knew that the environment there would definitely be bad, but she still wanted to see it with her own eyes, provided that it didn't affect David's business.
"Let's go into the inner city."
Compared with the very lenient when entering the outer city, basically just a simple inquiry and then released, the interrogation at the inner city gate is much stricter.
This also led to the fact that although there were many fewer people entering the inner city than when entering the outer city, there was a queue and they had to move slowly inside.
David looked back and forth, most of the team was caravans, and most of the goods brought by these merchants were brought into the inner city for the truly wealthy nobles in the kingdom to enjoy.
Other than that, there are no aristocrats queuing here, because they have a dedicated passage, and there is no need to wait for an inspection like David and ordinary merchants.
Fortunately, the speed of the inquiry was fast enough, and after slowly moving for half an hour, it was finally David's turn.
"Where are you from? What to do in Tiran? Why go into the inner city? ”
David answered these questions truthfully: Iron Tree Castle, Winter Village, and Tillan submitted a village certificate to apply for a territorial upgrade.
"Apply to upgrade Winter Village to Winter Town?" The surprise on the inner city guard's face was very obvious, looking at the few documents in his hand, he looked at David a few more times: "You are the village chief?" ”
"Yes."
The guard looked at Sharon and Newton who were following David, and after confirming that these two were with David, he didn't ask too much, but continued to ask David: "Why don't you handle it at Irontree Castle?" ”
"Winter Village is the newest land to be developed by the Kingdom of Tiran, and I believe that this new territory belongs to the Kingdom of Tiran, not to the Iron Tree Castle." Of course, David couldn't tell the truth, and at this time he puffed up his chest and held his head high, and said the excuse that he had thought of a long time ago, as if it were 'I am all for the kingdom of Tiran'.
The inner city guard looked at David's gesture and only felt very funny, and did not hide the idea of smiling at all, handed the document in his hand to David, and waved his hand to signal that he could enter: "Remember, don't cause trouble, the people who live here are not something you can offend." ”
"Okay!"
David led Sharon and Newton into the inner city, and after walking ten meters away, he heard the guard's mocking voice behind him: "Hillbilly from the north." ”
"Hahaha, maybe people will soon become aristocratic lords."
"No kidding, how easy is it to become a nobleman? Do you really think that you can become a nobleman by virtue of the pioneer order? ”
"You're actually jealous, aren't you...... But then again, that woman is so beautiful. ”
"Do you have an idea for that girl? Just a country girl, it should be easy to fool ......"
"Forget it, I'm not the adult......"
As the distance grew farther and the noise of his surroundings, David couldn't hear what was being said behind him, but he just turned his head to look at Sharon as he led his horse.
"I have a hunch." According to the normal plot trend, is it the plot of robbing the people's girls next?
Sharon looked at Davy, and then looked back at the guards who couldn't see clearly: "Or, I'll go out of the city and wait for you?" ”
"It shouldn't be to that extent...... Davy remembers Newton's earlier information and decisively rejects Sharon's suggestion: "And it might be a good thing for us that something goes wrong." ”
