The upper town of Lugoin was inhabited by Lugoin's nobles and officials.

The desert kingdom is not big, but it is not small either, so there are also a number of dignitaries and magnates in the country.

The large domed-top buildings that Xue Hua saw outside the city before were basically the mansions of these powerful people.

Of course, since the system practiced by the kingdom of Lugauin was a "federal governor", the nobles here did not have any fiefs.

At most, there are one or two veins or oasis estates in the desert as an inheritance.

Otherwise, there are one or two medium-sized caravans under his command, or he has a stake in some large caravans.

Most of the income from these industries was used by them to maintain the living expenses of the so-called "superior people", so although the whole Shangcheng District was full of singing and dancing all day long, in fact, in terms of the actual capital in their hands, any big merchant in the business district could throw those small nobles out of ten streets.

However, there are three big noble families in Shangcheng that are old enough to fight with the royal family, and the strength of these three big noble families is not comparable to ordinary businessmen.

Two of the three noble families were purely professional families, and two of the three legendary professionals recruited by Lu Gaoyin were directly from these two families.

Although the remaining great nobleman is not a professional family, his current head of the family will not be worse in the kingdom than those two legendary professionals.

The family had been the treasurers of the royal family for generations, and they controlled more than seventy percent of the various trade channels and economic lifelines of the entire kingdom.

Especially maritime trade.

Eleven of the more than twenty large maritime trading caravans in the entire kingdom of Lugauin were directly or indirectly in the hands of this family.

The current king of Rugoin, Jehein, has a lot of trust in the current head of the family, not only putting the power of the kingdom to pay taxes to him, but even letting him help handle some of the government affairs on his behalf.

King Jehein's current wife is from this family, she is the eldest daughter of the clan and the famous Queen Rendeok.

In addition to these noble families, large and small, three of the four Guardians of Rugoin also lived in the Upper Town.

They are the president of the "Lugoin Mage Society": the legendary mage - "Meteorstorm" Drognam Grace.

Vice-President: Legendary Mage - Farah Aiden, the "Lightning Avatar".

and Farah's daughter, the legendary paladin, Farah "Holy Hammer" Tate.

In addition to these three Guardians, there is one Guardian among them, but this person has a somewhat eccentric temper, and he does not live in the Upper Town, but in the Harbor District.

He was a legendary druid named Turner Joseph.

His legendary title is also very strange, it is actually called "Strait Monster".

The reason for such a strange title is rumored to be due to his original form.

But no one has yet fully understood what this is.

Because no one had ever seen what his original prototype looked like.

It is only known that Turner is guarding the sea of Lugoin, and he will ensure that the city of Lugoin will not fall due to an attack from the sea.

This guy has a withdrawn and aloof personality, and doesn't care about anything that has nothing to do with his protection.

He had arrived in Rugoin before the other three Guardians, but he had never set any foot forward in finding the tomb of Ta Rasha.

For many years, he lived alone on a sea cliff near the harbor area, living in almost complete isolation.

Rugauin's royal family had sent a legendary Assassin to recruit him, but the legendary Assassin eventually returned empty-handed.

And it is said that his face was ugly at that time.

Upon his return, the legendary Assassin warned the royal family to stop provoking the druid.

The other three Guardians don't know much about this mysterious legendary druid, except that Turner seems to be from the front line of the Second World's fight against Hell, but for some reason he stepped back and took over the role of Rugoin's Guardian and returned to the First World.

Drognam had written to the front lines of the Second World to confirm this, but was eventually told not to bother with anything about Druirtner, not to approach him on his own initiative, and to maintain the status quo.

After receiving such a reply, Drognam seemed to suddenly understand something, so he stopped mentioning the mysterious legendary druid, and even sealed his information completely.

With the exception of the Druidner, the other Guardians of Lugoin reside in the middle of the Upper Lugoin City, which is now the main location of the Lugoin Mage.

Further back in the Upper Town, in the most central part of the city, is the royal quarter, the highest part of the city.

It was the residence of all the royal family, the royal palace, and the original birthplace of the entire city of Lugoin.

The highest area is the royal quarter, where the palace is located, and from the terrace at the top of the palace, you can overlook the whole of the city, which is also the favorite place of the current king, Jehein.

The current ruler of Rugoin, Jayhain, is a king with a strong desire for power.

Of course, it is not surprising at all that the king of a country is not worthy of being a king if he does not have the desire for power.

But the current lord of the country seems to be too strong.

He held in his hands everything that could show his authority and majesty, and would not allow others to touch it in the slightest.

He always lamented that he was born at the wrong time, and on more than one occasion made bold statements at royal councils, such as "If Hell had not invaded, I would have led Rugoin across the seas to build a super-empire that spanned two continents".

Admittedly, this vision cannot be said to be bad, and as a king, having great ambition is something that all subjects will enjoy.

But the king forgot that his abilities did not correspond to his ambitions at all.

Not even his own throne was earned by his own efforts.

The throne under him now should have belonged to his elder brother, the crown prince known as the "reincarnation of kings" - Lei Hain.

It's just that before the crown prince officially ascended the throne, he made some unfavorable remarks against the current Chancellor's family.

As a result, the crown prince was "attacked by a large number of flying monsters" in the process of "personal adventure and exploration of new trade routes", and finally "unfortunately the ship was destroyed and people died".

Then, naturally, as the only of the old king's two sons, Jehein succeeded in ascending to the throne with the full support of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

So, the king's ambition was completely incompatible with his abilities, but he himself didn't realize it at all.

And the virtuous ministers around him slowly distanced themselves from him because of his irritable temper that became more and more unresponsive.

This led to his growing arrogance and self-feeling.

In the end, he made the research of seizing the Lugoin Mage Guild, and forced the two Guardians of Lugoin to "resell" all the results of his subsequent research to his NC behavior.

This stupid and chilling act made Dragognam and Farah feel angry and sad, but their status as guardians of humanity, while very detached, also meant that they could not interfere in the internal affairs of any country.

As a result, they had no choice but to ignore Jayhain's orders and relocate the research site.

But there was no way to retrieve the King's Staff, which had been hidden by Jehein.
