Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 272 The Imperial Capital
Leaving the lifeless civilian area and entering the Fourth Ring business district, the bustling and bustling scene immediately attracted the attention of the group, especially Ferrier, whose eyes were shining, because no woman could resist the temptation of new seasonal products and discounted sales .

It can be said that there are shops everywhere, from high-end luxury stores to bustling markets specializing in all kinds of department stores. Even the air smells like gold coins, and the sound of coins colliding can be heard from morning till night.

You can always see hard-working shop assistants trying to sell products to passers-by with smiles, and you can also see generous customers spending a lot of money to sweep the goods.

The commercial area claims to gather all the items of the entire empire. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the variety of products and the complete range are still amazing. Even Owen is interested in many of the products here.

In addition to goods, it also sells services here. There are no restrictions on men and women, and the kind that exudes pink charm all over the street. Even Owen, who has seen the alley in the small valley town of the mountains, has a lot of knowledge. I feel that the secret channel must have a deeper understanding when I come back.

But only in this way can it look like an imperial capital, Owen thought so.

It's a pity that few people know that there are no pure businessmen in the imperial capital. These businessmen who make a lot of money on the surface are going to make offerings to the bosses behind them. After a year of busy work, at most they leave some soup in their hands. It is said that it is already an unattainable wealth, but it is the most painful thing in the world for businessmen who regularly cut their meat for offerings.

The problem is that they have no choice. This is the imperial capital that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. There is no backstage cover. Anyone can kill you.

In other words, how big you can do business in the imperial capital does not depend on your ability, but on the power of the boss behind you. You can't earn money to fill your stomach with a broken leg.

Although the place is prosperous, everyone didn't stay long because there were still important things to do.

The Marquis of Borgasos brought everyone to the aristocratic district. Compared with the dilapidated civilian district and the bustling and noisy commercial district, the aristocratic district reflects the exquisite and luxurious side of the imperial capital.

The road here is smooth, and it is an exaggeration to say it is spotless, but there is no stagnant water, no garbage, let alone defecating everywhere, and even the lampposts on the roadside are wiped and cleaned by special people, and they will be lit in the evening Bright.

In addition, Owen also saw that there is a fairly complete water supply system and sewer network here, and even the buildings are composed of large and small mansion courtyards, and there is no place for civilians at all.

In fact, the prerequisite for owning a real estate here is to have a knighthood, otherwise you will not even be eligible to ask for a price.

Even so, not everyone can buy it, especially the aristocrats from other places. To buy a house in the aristocratic area of ​​the imperial capital, money is not enough. First, the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital is exclusive. There is a price but no market, and there is no place to buy it.

As the emperor's confidant, the Marquis of Bogasus has spent half his life in the imperial capital circle. He only bought a small real estate here ten years ago, and he has not yet paid off the mortgage. This shows that the imperial capital real estate has How hard to buy, and how crazy the price is.

Even so, when this matter was mentioned, Marquis Borgasos was still modest and somewhat proud.

Skip this little episode, and everyone came to the gate of the inner city.

Owen is keenly aware that the invisible magic barrier covers the entire inner city, and it is also complex, that is to say, it has more than one layer. The simple cracking method is ineffective at all, and it is easy to trigger the hidden prohibition.

I just don't know how deep the magic barrier is underground, Owen thought curiously.

After arriving in the inner city, even the Marquis of Bogasus didn't have a good face, he had to show the emperor's handbook to bring people in.

However, ordinary guards are not qualified to check his ID, and the red-clothed guards came.

The status of Hongyi in the empire is similar to that of Jinyiwei. For most people, they have the right to kill first and ask questions later. Yes, they like to kill people and then pull them up for questioning, because often the dead will not lie.

Because of the particularity of the red guard, the Marquis of Bogasos didn't dare to put on airs, and he took out the handwriting and handed it to the other party in accordance with the procedure.

After carefully checking the handwriting, the leader of the red guard returned the emperor's handwriting to the Marquis of Bogasus, and then waved his hand. Two red guards stood up behind him. They will follow the Marquis of Bogasus and his party all the way until Leave the inner city.

That's right, this move is surveillance. Whoever told them not to take the royal carriage or follow the royal knights this time, naturally they have no privileges.

Although he was going to be watched all the way, no one dared to have an opinion.

Before coming here, the Marquis of Borgasos had repeatedly emphasized to them the importance of the inner city and the privileges of the Red Guards. Once something went wrong, no one could save them, even if they were nobles.

The main reason is that the inner city is the political core of the empire, and almost all important departments are located here. Once something goes wrong, it will cause shocks to the entire empire.

This is not a joke. If the imperial decree is not received within three days, there will be large and small problems in various places. If it is extended to a month, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

No one can afford this responsibility, so there are various privileges of the Red Guards.

But privilege also means responsibility, so don't look at the Red Clothes Guard's superficial appearance, but actually don't mention how nervous you are, because it's okay if nothing happens, and if something happens, it's not a matter of killing a few people.

Owen is very interested in the red guards who are in charge of monitoring them. These people wear red trench coats, pale masks, long swords and magic equipment, and they have magic reactions themselves. Only in this way can various complex situations be dealt with.

The red-clothed guards have a very keen sense of gaze. Owen just looked at it for a little longer, and then a red-clothed guard turned his head and stared at him with sharp eyes.

However, Owen's demeanor was gentle and elegant. He was more like a scholar than an aristocrat, and he seemed to have elven blood, so the red guard just glanced at him before turning his head away, and at the same time lowered his threat level by one level.

Although the red-clothed guard looked like a prisoner to everyone, but his energy was limited, he had to have a priority. Naturally, he first paid attention to the high threat, and Owen's appearance and temperament were extraordinary. Unless he was suspected, he would not specifically target him.

Although being stared at by the red guards, it also meant that they were qualified to operate in the inner city, so the Marquis of Borgasos led the crowd to move forward first.

After walking for a while, everyone realized that they still underestimated the security of the inner city.

It's not as simple as a patrol team, but every intersection has a heavily guarded pass, and each building is also built like an independent castle, the kind with a drawbridge and a moat, it's like an office place, it's all for Prepare for war.

It is true to say that, theoretically, as long as this place does not fall, the empire will not lose control, and the inner city is also the last and strongest line of defense of the palace.
