Chapter 77: The Battle of the Opal Zone and the Ten Thousand Races [Revision]

An hour later.

"Merkle~Merck~"

The wildebeest stopped at the hoarse command of the coachman.

Today they are always on the go (teleportation circle in the city), which makes them a little irritable.

But just feed them a handful of grass with beans added to them and rejuvenate them and pull the cart hard.

Lo and behold, the industrious wildebeest is so easily satisfied.

Ron looked out the window and sighed.

"The difference between people is greater than the difference between dragons and dogs."

Just a turn.

The old wooden buildings and greasy streets suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Walking through a street paved with ornate jade, the group finally came to the entrance of the opal area.

Between the Opal and Nika districts stands a beautiful white wall, which is not as tall and magnificent as the outer wall, but it is beautiful in appearance, and it is not even a beautiful wall, but a work of art!

Unlike the outer walls, the gates to the Opal are always open, and all the people of the Nika district can see the Opal from a distance.

That is the "heaven" in their hearts.

All the adventurers who had just arrived in the royal capital around them stood on tiptoe excitedly, looking at everything in the city gate, and the newcomer Ron and others were no exception.

"Wow!"

"Is this the opal zone?"

Several magic apprentices said with some emotion.

What is revealed in front of everyone is a multi-storey carved and stacked building full of elf style.

Exquisite otherworldly buildings of different heights complement each other, and the circular wind and rain corridor is meticulous.

In addition to the normal road.

In the opal area, there are also waterways built in rivers and sky roads, and from time to time you can see people riding water mobile vehicles flying by in a dashing manner, splashing a burst of water.

The perfect triple road design is refreshing and not crowded.

Inside, you can see the towering mage tower and the glittering royal palace erected in the distance.

Through the gates of the city, you can see people flying through the air from time to time on magical structures.

The style of the house here is somewhat similar to the private European-style villas that Ron had seen in his previous life.

The fine marble terrace is filled with flowers of all kinds, and orc servants specialize in them.

A thick white-stone wall blocked the progress of Ron and his party.

Here is the entrance and exit of the opal area.

It's the border between rich and poor.

This is the closest place where life and poetry meet.

This is the inner city of the royal capital of Ovia [Opal].

"Please show me the proof!"

Guards dressed in red velvet and gold-rimmed costumes stood at the gates of the city with guns, reviewing the certificate of entry into the city.

This costume is not just for the sake of beauty, the simple magic array engraved on it proves that this is a sophisticated-level armor, which is enough to resist the attacks of Tier 2 demonic beasts.

And the spear that shimmered with magic even had three blood grooves engraved on it, so you don't have to think about it to know what the consequences will be if you break in.

And most importantly!

This unremarkable guard actually has the strength of the Golden Rank!

They are the elite of the [Former Praetorian Guard].

Except for the occasional sight of them at the inner city gates, they spent the rest of the time guarding the royal family in the palace.

Together with the Court Mages, they are known as the king's sword and shield.

At this time, the coachman is of little use, and if you want to enter the city, you must either pay gold coins or show your identification.

"I'm Morey, a fire magus at the Royal Capital Academy of Magic. Standing behind me were the Academy's newly recruited students, who were not required to pay entrance fees according to the laws of the Kingdom of Roses. ”

Morey stepped forward to communicate with the guards and showed his gold teacher's badge.

This thing is enough to prove their identity, and they are exempt from paying an entrance fee of 1 gold per person.

The guards in gorgeous costumes carefully checked and confirmed, and then respectfully raised their hands to salute the convoy.

"Please come in, welcome to the opal area."

Magicians are born into the aristocratic class.

This is also why there are so many remote and poor small villages in the royal capital, and some of the poor cannot afford to eat.

But even if you borrow money to raise money, you have to hire a wild mage to enlighten your children to see if you can become a magician.

Don't be surprised at this group's obsession with magic.

Because this is the easiest way for the common people to leap forward.

"A new batch of 3rd order magic cores with different attributes will be sold at a nine-percent discount, on a first-come, first-served basis!"

"Come on, come on, smash a lucky jar, there's nothing empty!"

“.”

After entering the opal area, the real scenery of the royal capital is slowly revealed.

Smooth and wide white stone streets, clean and tidy merchant shops, magic apprentices passing by in a hurry, beautiful young women.

"It's so beautiful here."

A female apprentice with a scorpion tail poked out of the carriage and sighed as she looked at the bustling scene in front of her.

Coming from Hammer Soul Village, it was the first time she had seen such a bustling scene, which reinforced her decision to walk into Morey's room with her mother that night.

It's just that I don't know why, but that Lord Morey has become serious lately, and he doesn't even look at them.

——————

"Roar!"

"Chirp~"

Walking on the main road of the Opal District, Ron and his side will pass by some dragon carts and even higher-level Warcraft mounts from time to time.

These giant monsters, which are more than 5 meters long, are so frightened that the wildebeest tremble and have to avoid them.

[In fact, the budget allocated by the Academy of Magic was enough for everyone to take the earth dragon car to the royal capital, but an unknown Mr. Rainbow Dragon took the money and said that the wildebeest carriage was very good, so. 】

"Wow!"

All kinds of scenes that I have never seen in my hometown are imprinted,

To the amazement of this group of apprentices and magicians from small places.

This is the noble and powerful royal capital told in the story of the bard!

As for their hometown and Nika district, they have long forgotten about it, they are now "royal people", and they should stay away from those "dirty" things.

Vivien sat by the window, quietly admiring the scenery she had never seen before, and her heart was a little confused right now.

Carol and Golden Dragon Tina in the carriage didn't feel much of this bustling scene.

After all, one grew up here, and the other has lived here for more than a year.

For them, this opal area is used to living like that, and under the luxury, there is also a dark side.

"Ron, don't you look at the scenery outside the window, isn't it the first time you've come to the royal capital?"

Carol asked curiously.

Tina was also quietly observing the big colored dragon on the other side.

Ron was lazily lying on the camel-red plush cushion that Vivien had made for him, with the dragon's head buried in Vivien's lap.

The slender tail coiled around his crystal colorful dragon body, which looked like a big cat napping.

"It's boring, I won't watch it."

Ron pouted.

[You don't think this broken carriage can block the sight of the real dragon, do you? 】

For him, the entire royal capital has actually been watched from different perspectives many times.

From the moment he first entered the royal capital, Ron had already put in a large number of magic constructs [Stuffy Carpet] to gather information.

Although you can't use the Scout Magic in the Royal Capital, you can still use the magic construct.

With the help of the vast drainage system beneath the royal capital, Ron frantically gathers a lot of information.

Except for those few places where there are special detection circles fluctuating.

For example, the Royal Palace, the Mercenary Association, the Magic Association, the Academy of Magic, and so on.

In the rest of the area, Ron took a stroll around the carpet as he constructed the stuffy carpet.

Even some stuffy blankets and volley swords were cast by him with a special hidden magic array,

It is placed in the homes of some residents and is kept as a backup means.

If the carpet in your home suddenly moves, don't worry, it may just be stretching, and it is definitely not a [Constructed Stuffy Carpet].

Until now, Ron had a preliminary understanding of the structure of this sprawling circular city.

All the roads and routes were integrated into a complete three-dimensional map in Ron's brain.

The reason why he did this was because he was going to do a great thing in the royal capital.

According to his habit,

You need to prepare the route for the attack and escape in advance.

[Everything is allowed, everything is rested - Dragon Warrior Monk Castella]

"What's that?"

Vivien suddenly pointed to the figure in the sky outside the window, riding a broom that floated quickly from time to time, and asked curiously.

She seemed to have sorted out her mood at this time, and returned to the appearance of the sunny little girl before.

"That's it."

Tina was about to speak when she was interrupted by Ron looking up.

"That's a magic broomstick, a low-level magic construct that's expensive."

"Although they are expensive, they can allow low-level mages who do not have the ability to fly to fly in the sky."

Ron sniffed Vivien's body odor and wagged his tail.

Recently, Vivien didn't know what was going on, and her body was getting more and more fragrant, so that Ron couldn't help but want to take a bite.

The people who can afford to use the [Magic Broom] are all nobles or professionals with a lot of money, and it is impossible for commoners to spend money on such things.

"Hmm! Damn fellows! ”

Tina turned her head in anger as Ron interjected, her cheeks bulging like a pufferfish.

Ron happily admired the posture of the golden dragon girl.

What could be more enjoyable than bullying a little golden dragon and she didn't dare to do it.

Vivien stroked Ron's tail slightly.

"Ron, don't bully Tina."

The two dragons looked at each other, turned their heads again, and neither looked at the other.

"Humph!"

"Hmph."

Vivien looked at the two dragons who ignored anyone, and breathed a sigh of relief helplessly and reassuringly.

She took the initiative to hold Tina's little hand and whispered to the angry golden dragon girl.

Carol next to her also interjected into their chat from time to time, telling some interesting stories about what she experienced in the royal capital back then.

Gradually, the awkward atmosphere began to ease.

Outside the car window, people come and go

Inside the car window, laughter and laughter.

The platinum blonde and the long silver-white hair slowly blended together.

The tsundere Miss Golden Dragon quickly got into a fight with the two of them under Vivian's initiative.

"I'll tell you, the gnoll was punched by me as soon as he tried to pounce."

She bragged around Vivien's shoulders and boasted about her righteous deeds.

Seeing that they got along well, Ron secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is most annoyed by the bloody 8 o'clock plot.

"Da Da Da"

The hooves of the wildebeest make a crisp sound of hooves when they step on the white stone road.

I walked for nearly an hour.

Seeing that the sky was a little dark, Ron and the others came to the southeast corner of the opal area.

The sun had turned crimson by this time, reflecting the sunset and the smiling faces of people returning from work.

There were no roadblocks or children hit by cars along the way.

Maybe it's because the security in the royal capital is really good.

Ron and his party came to the door of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic.

The Royal Capital Academy of Magic is located in the southeast corner of the Opal District.

It occupies nearly one-twentieth of the entire Opal District, and there are various magical tools in the academy, and there is even a small artificial simulation of the Warcraft Forest for experiments.

The scale of the entire Royal Capital Magic Academy is dozens of times larger than the territory of Windmill Town!

The nearly 1,000-year-old magic academy has three main faculties as well as several smaller branches.

The three major faculties are: the Elemental Department, the Summoning Department, and the Demon Martial Arts Department.

thereinto

The Demon Martial Arts Department was just established a hundred years ago, and it belongs to a new department, and there are not many students.

The strength of the elemental system and the summoning system is equal, but in general, there are more elemental students.

It's not because people like to learn all kinds of elemental magic, but because the summoning system is more resource-intensive and cost-intensive than the elemental system!

To know.

This is reality, not like the pets in the game, which can be resurrected after death.

If your summon dies, the mage will need to re-summon a new summon.

Every time a magician in the summoning system performs a contract ritual to summon a high-level demonic beast, he has to spend a high-level magic core of the same rank, and the success rate is still very low.

This is not the simplified low-level summoning circle of Oracle Town, the kind of simple magic circle specialized for brainless low-level demonic beasts, and the high success rate is terrifying.

The summoning ritual of a high-level Warcraft, even if it is dozens of times, may not be able to successfully summon one!

Wealthy families and professionals simply cannot afford this kind of expense.

The more advanced the beast, the more difficult it is to make a contract with humans, and many times you need to offer additional items other than the magic core.

Such as rare materials, such as gold coins, such as .

Person!

In fact, according to the record in the forbidden book "Dark Codex".

Humans are theoretically a more popular sacrifice than the Core.

However, all three kingdoms of the Karen Plane strictly forbade mages to use humans or other intelligent beings as sacrificial objects in summoning ceremonies.

All those who did so were to be put to death, and they would be burned alive at the stake in public!

There's a reason for this age-old rule.

It is said that in ancient times,

A summoner once used a large number of human virgin bodies as sacrifices to successfully summon an Abyssal Demon.

This inferior demon has caused serious turmoil throughout the continent of Karen.

It indirectly caused Karen's first plane war [War of All Races]!

The bloody battle left the entire Karen in tatters and corpses, and set the stage for a second Abyssal invasion.

[Summoning and controlling demons is very laborious and difficult, and those with fragile hearts simply cannot bear this kind of work. 】

——————

"Wow!"

Looking at the Mithril metal gate in front of him, which was nearly ten meters high and carved a cumbersome magic array.

The magic apprentices let out another exclamation, as usual.

Along the way, the world in their minds has changed dramatically.

Maybe that's one of the meanings of travel.

Broadened my horizons, which is hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Each of them has infinite expectations from their families, schools, and hometowns.

Someone will sink in this land of desire.

Someone will get lost in this bustling place.

Someone will rise in this land of strife.

Who knows what the future holds?
