  The prosperity of Green Imperial Capital is definitely unimaginable for a countryman like Suldak...

The floating imperial city above the head is like a miraculous monument suspended over the imperial capital. People here are probably used to it. No one on the street is like Suldak, standing on the steps. looked up to the sky.

  The people who can enter and exit the teleportation hall are almost all nobles, and the teleportation fee here is not cheap...

   Maybe it was too high. Suldak didn't see the large magic circle on the floating mountain. He could only see the two magic towers supporting the huge barrier on the edge of the city wall.

  The Floating King City hangs above his head, making Suldak feel a little oppressed. The sky in this city is not free.

  Suldak felt that the palace could be suspended in the air, it must rely on the power of magic.

   "Is this your first time in the Imperial Capital?"

  An old voice sounded from behind...

Suldak turned around and saw an old mage wearing a dark green magic robe staring at him with a smile. He nodded politely and asked with a smile, "How do you know that this is the first time I Come to the imperial capital?"

  This sentence is tantamount to admitting the old magician's problem.

  The old magician's beard and hair are all white, his face is full of wrinkles, and his old skin looks a little loose.

  A magician who can live to this age, even if he does not have any outstanding achievements, his status will definitely not be too low.

  So Surdak behaved very politely...

   Seeing that Suldak was very polite, the old magician responded with a smile:

"Everyone who comes here for the first time will look up at the floating city foolishly, but generally everyone will put on such an expression at the pass of Mount Majaro. Those who can look up at the royal city at the entrance of the teleportation hall are truly Not too many…”

  He stood side by side with Suldak on the steps, thinking that Suldak was quite funny, so he stopped and said a few jokes.

  Suldak didn’t have any prejudice against the magician nobles. Seeing the old magician speak very funny, he didn’t go back immediately, but said frankly:

"Yeah, the first impression I got here was really shocking. This is the first time I saw a palace floating in the sky. Just now I was still wondering what kind of floating device is under this palace to move This palace rests on the clouds..."

  A magic caravan parked at the bottom of the steps, and a magic apprentice came out of the car and saluted the old magician.

However, the old magician did not go down the steps immediately, but stood beside Suldak and explained casually: "If it is really a matrix of floating devices that supports the royal city, it is estimated that the magic spar consumed every day is It will be an astronomical sum, although the Floating King City needs to consume some magic spar every day, but it is basically just a protective barrier supported by several magic towers."

  He raised his hand towards the palace pedestal like an upside-down mountain below the Floating King City and said:

"There is a huge floating stone under the floating imperial city. This ore itself has strong buoyancy. This palace is built on a floating stone. The designer of the palace is not only a magician, but also an architect. Master, when he built the palace, he cleverly used the buoyancy balance of the pumice stone to build the palace on this floating mountain."

  Suldak was a little surprised: "So it is because of the huge mountain under the palace that it can float in the air?"

   At this time, the old magician had already stepped down the steps. He stood at the door of the carriage, turned his head and smiled at Suldak, and said, "That's it..."

  Suldak nodded again to the old magician whose name he didn't even know, and said:

   "Hearing you say that, I seem to understand."

The magic caravan carried the old magician out of the teleportation hall. Suldak noticed that there were quite a few magic caravans on the street at the entrance of the teleportation hall. He waved his hand, and immediately a magic caravan came and parked slowly on the steps. Down.

  Suldak boarded the magic caravan and reported an address to the coachman.

  The coachman reported the fare to Suldak, but he needed to pay three silver coins. If it was in Bena City, one silver coin could almost travel throughout the city.

  Even the fare is so expensive here in the imperial capital...

As the magic caravan slowly merged into the busy street, Suldak saw that many buildings on both sides of the street looked like palaces. The walls of these buildings were engraved with magnificent reliefs, and each of them There are colossal statues on both sides of the entrance of the building.

The street trees on both sides of the street are also towering giant trees. Although this street can accommodate eight carriages abreast, the giant trees on both sides of the road form a green dome on this street, and the magic caravan driving on the street can still Feeling a little shade.

  Different from Bena City, some young nobles can be seen everywhere on the sidewalks of the streets of the imperial capital.

  If it is in the city of Bena, even the young nobles like to sit in the magic caravan. They don't use their legs to drive, because they think that only commoners do that.

   On the side of the imperial capital, there are obviously more nobles on the street than commoners...

   Along the way, Suldak saw several high-end restaurants and touched his gurgling stomach. Suldak considered whether to stop and eat something.

  But this idea was just thought about in my heart and then dismissed.

  …

The Malakom merchant's residence in the imperial capital is in the seventh district, which is almost the outermost part of the imperial capital. When the magic caravan arrived at its destination, Suldak knew that the coachman had quoted a price of three silver coins. It's really not high.

   This section of road is much farther than Suldak thought. From the bustling neighborhood to the civilian area, most of the workshops on the imperial capital side are close to the civilian area.

  The buildings here are arranged closely, and there is a long and narrow warehouse behind most of the single buildings.

  This area is already built on a gentle slope, and the terrain will get higher as you go to the edge. Surdak found that this place should look like the foot of a ridge.

   And this ridge unexpectedly presented a perfect arc in Suldak's eyes. When he looked along the ridge to the left and right sides, he found that the ridge looked like a huge ring.

  This is the imperial capital...

  Suldak looked at the row upon row of buildings in front of him, feeling emotional.

   This is the political center of the Green Empire and the most prosperous place.

Before he had time to appreciate the rented house of businessman Malakom, Malakom led a group of people out of the small building, a large group of maids and servants, they rushed out all the way, and the red carpet followed them , and spread directly to Suldak's feet.

   Malakom looks a lot fatter than when we met last time. It can be seen that life here is very comfortable.

   It's been so long since we saw each other, Malakom was still a little excited when he saw Suldak.

  At the beginning, he ran a thunder rhino merchant group in the Bailin plane, but now his trading firm has not only expanded to Bena City, but the business has even reached the imperial capital.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the support of Suldak, from the hard armor of the ghost-striped red ants to the copper ingots from the Invercargill Forest Copper Mine. Buyers, along the way, the business is getting bigger and bigger.

  The residence here in Malakom is not very big, it only has two floors, and there is a terrace on the roof.

The servants lived on the first floor, and Malakom sat on the second floor with his two young wives. He also rented the warehouse behind this small building. It's because of the material warehouse behind.

   Almost all the materials he purchased for Suldak are stored in the warehouse, including boxes of magic pattern structures, giant crossbow arrows, and some magic weapons.

  Suldak was sitting in the reception room, and the businessman Malakom was standing aside...

  When the two met, Suldak was still a little baron. At that time, the two could sit together and chat casually.

   Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Suldak became the Earl. For Malakom, he could only stand in front of Suldak.

   "I didn't expect you to come to the imperial capital at this time!"

  Suldak looked at the several magical weapons hanging on the walls of the living room, long swords, war spears, hunting bows...

He said casually: "The battle over Moyunling is going well, so the high-level military officials decided to give me two months of family leave, and the itinerary is also to arrive in Everson City and take the teleportation gate in the teleportation hall to return directly to Bena. , but since I have to pass through the imperial capital on the way, I thought of stopping and looking around..."

   "I'm here this time, just to see the trading house that sells standard magic pattern structures."

  The expression on Malakom's face was a bit tangled, he hesitated and said:

"Originally there was no problem with this matter, but it happened that the war in the ice and snow tundra just broke out. As the operator of the trading firm, Mrs. Alia took people to the north. Now there is only one temporary person in charge in your trading firm, but He can't decide on the magic pattern construction transaction."

   "Are you going to buy another batch of magicweave structures?" Malakom asked in surprise.

During this period of time, he successively purchased more than a thousand sets of magic pattern structures for Suldak, guessing that he might have completely emptied Suldak's wallet, and now Earl Suldak may have appeared Financial crisis, not even mentioning the final payment later...

   "Of course, I plan to customize another thousand sets of magic pattern structures. This time, the magic pattern structure should focus on defense." Suldak said.

   "Are you going to form the fourth and fifth Constructed Knights?" Malakom asked after taking a breath.

   When he asked this sentence, he couldn't even suppress the sharp tone.

Almost all the great lords in the province of Bena will form a regiment of Constructed Swordsmen, but this kind of elite legion usually spends a lot of money. The lords will basically form two regiments of Constructed Swordsmen. Anyway, when going out, Almost everyone's army is combined to form a coalition army.

  Suldak has now started to form the fifth Constructed Knights. Although he does not have a heavy cavalry regiment in his hands, this kind of force can be regarded as surpassing most of the lords in the province of Bena.

   Malakom is most worried that if Suldak takes too big a step, he may not be able to pay this huge military expenditure in the future.

Suldak nodded and said: "Recently, I just bought a batch of black-scaled horses from the Western Knights Alliance, so I am planning to form two more Knights of Constructs. I just passed by the imperial capital, and I was thinking about this batch of magic pattern horses. Can the structure be bought..."

   Hearing Suldak talk about expanding the army, Malakom fully understood that Suldak should be preparing for the upcoming Battle of Moyunling.

  The evil ghost army on Moyunling should have brought him a huge amount of wealth, and he will continue to contact the magic pattern construction trading company next.

   Knowing that there was no way to meet with the head of the trading firm, Suldak was not overly entangled.

  Then the two chatted about other topics in the living room. The Malakom merchant saw a lot of new things in the imperial capital, which were basically the application of some magic rune boards in life.

  He led Suldak to visit this unremarkable small building, and kept introducing to Suldak what this is, and what is that...

   "It is said that the people of the imperial capital will enjoy it. After arriving in the imperial capital, I realized that the life here is really an aristocratic life..."

   "Ceiling fans, magic lamps, refrigerators, and a monthly magic newspaper..."

   Under the introduction of Malakom, Suldak can be regarded as seeing this series of magical items that are not magical, but absolutely useful.

  Although it feels very novel, there will always be a feeling of deja vu in his heart, and he is not too surprised to see these...

   "You should go to the opera house to hear an opera, that's real art..."

   "I saw an unfinished warship on the shore of Weiyang Lake. It is said that the warship can span space..."

Malakom and Suldak chatted until very late. After Malakom prepared a sumptuous dinner for Suldak, he returned to the imperial city in a magic caravan accompanied by Malakom. Luxury hotel in the center.

  Although he couldn't meet the person in charge of the trading firm, Suldak actually didn't have any regrets. It was a worthwhile trip to see the prosperity of the imperial capital.

   Malakom said that if you have enough time, you can go to the airport town at the foot of the imperial capital, take a magic airship and return to Bena province, and feel the airport town of the imperial capital.

  But when Suldak returned to the Green Empire this time, the schedule was very tight.

  Having been delayed on the road for some time, Suldak only thought about returning to Bena City as soon as possible.

  At the entrance of the hotel, just as he was walking down from the magic caravan, he happened to see a group of people surrounding a young nobleman boarding a magic caravan. The emblem of that magic caravan was so familiar...

   "The emblem of the Busman family is hung on the magic caravan..." Malakom said aside.

   Then he said enviously: "That is Duke Quentin Busman, who has become the Duke at a young age. I heard that he and His Royal Highness Charles..."
