Arinkes, the capital of the Illuth Empire, is known as the City of Radiance, with a population of up to one million, and even if you look at the whole of Plandal, it is one of the megacities.

What the? Say that a million people are not a megacity? Are you kidding me?

Don't forget that this is Brandal, not Earth.

Although Plandal's high-level combat power is comparable to a nuclear bomb on the earth, and the life of the upper class is even more convenient than that on the earth, because the power is monopolized by the upper class, it is difficult for knowledge and culture to circulate to the masses at the bottom, so the thinking and creativity of ordinary people are completely imprisoned, so their lives are still in a very primitive stage.

And because of the guidance of the upper class, they subconsciously yearn for magic and talent, and pin their hopes on magic and talent, believing that it is the only way out, so no one has ever studied physical chemistry and other disciplines, which is why Donn is very entangled.

Yes, isn't it strange that the civilization here has lasted for tens of thousands of years, but it hasn't even invented something very basic?

One of the reasons is because there is magic in this world, and people see hope, so they are lazy.

The second reason is that the aristocracy has absolute control over the people at the bottom.

Don't understand? Very simple.

If the commoners have a good invention, the nobles at the top will immediately and rudely take it for themselves, if it is a harmless invention, maybe there will be a day when it will see the light of day, and if the invention touches the foundation of the nobles' interests, then it will be completely hidden.

Let me ask, in this case, can the spark of thinking really bloom among the common people? Do you really dare to bloom?

Don shook his head secretly.

Stay here. Is it really happy?

Look at the pedestrians on the street outside. He was full of emotion.

They don't have magic. has no flesh and blood power, let alone talent, relying on his own hands and a handful of strength to live here, you can see how hard it is.

Don't quite understand?

Let's use another analogy, like a person who doesn't know anything but moves bricks lives in Beijing...... That's a pretty graphic metaphor, isn't it?

In Donn's opinion, Alinks can already be called the supercity of Purlandal, which is crowded and bustling, full of energy.

It's very different from the cities I've seen before. As the imperial capital, Alinks is not shy about using the power of magicians to accomplish various architectural marvels.

One of them is the hundred-meter-high wall that you pass through when you first enter the city.

That's right, Donn visually measured that the wall was at least 100 meters high, what is this concept? The first floor of the earth is about three meters, that is, the city wall alone is equivalent to the height of a thirty-three story building.

The walls of Alinks and the main entrance of Fort Forge.

This wall would allow any regular army to stop and accept the reality of despair, not to mention that there are two more floors to it......

That's right, it's two floors.

Between the outer walls and the inner walls is the outer city, the civilian area. Military District, Market District. The outer city districts, the Holy See districts, etc., are mainly inhabited by ordinary residents, as well as a permanent army of 10,000 people, which is the personal guard of the royal family of Illus, and is also the fundamental force to maintain the security of Alinkes, and when necessary, these 10,000 personal guards will not hesitate to kill all targets that threaten the king.

And inside the second layer of the city wall is the inner city, which is commonly known as the aristocratic district, to be able to enter the inner city, itself represents a unique honor, those who struggle in the outer city, I don't know how many times when they pass through the gate to the inner city, they will look inside longingly, hoping to become a member of the inside.

But that hope is too slim.

Donn noticed that there were five floating islands hovering over Alink.

"Each of these five floating islands has a mage tower built on it, and the five mage towers resonate with each other, and in the event of an emergency, they can instantly open a super shield, which is said to be able to resist even the onslaught of a legendary-level powerhouse!"

Hilton explained to Don with a sigh on her face that she didn't really know the specifics, and that she had heard them before.

In addition to these, it is said that the overall plan of Alinks was designed by the Mystic Society of the Star and Moon Tower, where the ground is leveled by magic, the water used in the city is also attracted by magic, and the permanent residents even need to apply for a magic crystal card to deal with various things......

Compared to other cities, the use of magic in Alinks has indeed penetrated into every aspect of the inhabitants.

"It would be nice if other cities could popularize the use of magic like Alinkx."

Don sighed, although the popularization of magic applications here in Alinks is not what he imagined the magical civilization to be, it can be regarded as a good start.

"That's impossible."

Hilton smiled dumbly: "In order to hire these magicians, the empire spends tens of millions of gold coins every year, which is still the price in peacetime, and if it is wartime, if you want to involve them in battle, you will have to pay a higher price." ”

"Sounds weird......"

Don said a little awkwardly, "It's like a mercenary." ”

"But in fact, mages are now a neutral force independent of all countries."

Hilton spread his hands: "Since the end of the Second Chaos Invasion War, Jean. After the Lord of the Star and Moon established the Silver City, and then established the Star and Moon Tower Secret Law Association, the mages of the Star and Moon Tower declared their neutrality forever. ”

"Huh?"

Don was taken aback, this was not the same as what he knew in the game, although the Silver City and the Star-Moon Tower both existed, but when did the mage become neutral?

“…… Your lord, you're a magician, and you don't even know about this kind of thing, is it really okay? ”

"Wait! The Star and Moon Tower Secret Law Association has declared permanent neutrality, is there no opinion from the Holy See of Light? ”

Unlike other gods, the god of light, Yabirni, was clearly more popular, and his teachings and dogmas kept people in order and guarded good, but most of the time. The papal duty is to be an observer of the side of God, not an executor. Only disruption of order will be wanted by the Holy See. And although war is an act of chaos, it is not disturbed by the Holy See as an act that eventually tends to order.

And at the same time, war can also expand the opportunities for the Holy See to develop believers, and it is precisely for this reason that the Holy See of Light actually maintains a positive attitude towards war, but there is an unspoken rule that if the Holy See of Light wants to meddle in the affairs of the country, there must be a corresponding force to restrain it, and the Star and Moon Tower Secret Law Association is this power.

Donn's brow furrowed. In his impression, the Star-Moon Tower Secret Law Association and the Bright Holy See are the two rogue forces in the human camp, in the game, the Bright Holy See is very keen to meddle in the politics and wars of various countries, if the Star-Moon Tower Secret Law Association suddenly announces that it will quit playing, then the Bright Holy See can only declare neutrality and no longer meddle in politics.

Why do it?

Because this world is a world of order, everything must return to order, and without the power of restraint, then the future of the Holy See of Light will tend to be chaotic. It is not recognized by the gods.

Still don't understand?

To use another analogy, if the Arcane Society is the United States. The Holy See of Light is Russia, and the United States and Russia have been using other countries as tools to compete with each other to expand their influence, and at the same time are subject to the supervision of a third party (gods), and suddenly one day, the United States feels that it is not interesting to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries all the time, so it announced that it will not play, and it will be permanently neutral and will not take the initiative to interfere in anything...... I guess even the gods will be stunned and exclaimed, right?

If...... That's right, I mean, if that's the case, what will Russia do, which is under the supervision of the gods?

It must also declare neutrality, because its very existence is a disruption of the balance, and if it is allowed to continue, the whole world will soon fall into collapse.

When the time comes, the first thing God will kill is its church.

"What are you talking about?"

Hilton's face was inexplicable: "The Holy See of Light has always been neutral." ”

“…… Well......"

Don En shuddered and took a deep breath, what was there to be surprised?

That's right, didn't you already know that there are many different places here and in the game?

It's just that the two big forces are neutral, what's so surprising...... That's weird!

These two forces are the two largest human forces in Purandal!!

The Holy See has always believed that human beings, as the people of God, should have the most basic respect for the power of magic, and the existence of magicians is a provocation to the majesty of God, so the relationship between magicians and the Holy See is incompatible.

They all declared permanent neutrality?!

What the hell is this world!?

When the members of the two supergiants met, they didn't sneer at each other, and they actually greeted each other with a smile and asked if you had eaten...... The painting style is different!

Could it be that he was really idle for too long, so he decided to be permanently neutral and then became a war mercenary?

Whoever gives money will help whoever beats the other side? What if you had your own people on both sides?

Did the person who made this decision in the first place have a brain pump!?

I don't know if that person has a brain pump, anyway, Don feels like his brain is about to pump.

It seems that as time goes by, the difference between the original experience and the world in the game is getting bigger and bigger, what does this mean?

Don didn't dare to think about it, and he was terrified when he thought about it.

"Speaking of which," Hilton said casually while looking out the window, "since the end of the Second Chaos Invasion War, the Holy See of Light and the Arcane Society have appeared less and less, it is said that they have been busy fighting Chaos creatures all over the world, and it is also said that they are digging up the relics of the pre-war war all over the world, trying to restore the previous technology, and it is also said that they are planning something big......

Hilton retracted his gaze, shrugged his shoulders and said, "All in all, conspiracy theories never stopped, but the fact that the Holy See of Light can still hear the oracle of the great God of Light to this day shows that they have not done anything against their teachings." ”

"Perhaps."

Don frowned, he didn't know why, he always felt that there was another reason for this, and it was likely that that reason would eventually entangle with him and draw him into that vortex......

At this time, the carriage, which had been running for a long time, finally stopped in front of the second city wall, and inside was the aristocratic quarter. (To be continued.) )
