Chapter 166 The Glory City Yalinks

Yalinks, the capital of the Illus Empire, is known as the City of Glory. It has a permanent population of up to one million. Even if you look at the entire Purandal, it is one of the super cities.

What? Saying that a population of one million is not a super city? Are you kidding me?

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

Although Purandar's high-level combat effectiveness is comparable to nuclear bombs on Earth, and the life of the upper class is even more convenient than on Earth, because power is monopolized by the upper class, it is difficult for knowledge and culture to circulate to the masses at the bottom. Therefore, the thinking and thinking of ordinary people Creativity is completely blocked, so their lives remain in a very primitive stage.

And because of the guidance of the upper class, they subconsciously longed for magic and talent, placing their hopes on magic and talent, thinking that was the only way out, so no one had ever studied subjects such as physics and chemistry. This is why Tang Well, the reason is very confusing.

Yes, the civilization here has obviously lasted for tens of thousands of years, but it hasn't even invented some very basic things. Isn't this strange?

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

The second reason is because of the aristocracy’s absolute control over the people at the bottom.

Don’t understand? Very simple.

If the common people come up with any good invention, the upper-class nobles will immediately take it for themselves. If it is an innocuous invention, it may see the light of day. If the invention touches the interests of the nobles, it will be completely hidden. stand up.

Let me ask, under such circumstances, can the spark of thinking really bloom among civilians? Do you really dare to bloom?

Tang En shook his head secretly.

Are you really happy living here?

Looking at the pedestrians on the street outside, he was filled with emotion.

They have no magic, no physical strength, and no talent. They rely on their own hands and a handful of strength to live here, which shows how hard it is.

Don’t quite understand?

Let’s use another analogy. It’s like a person who knows nothing but moves bricks lives in Beijing... Isn’t this metaphor very vivid?

In Tang En's opinion, Yalinks can already be called a super city in Purandal. It is crowded, prosperous and full of vitality.

It is completely different from the cities I have seen before. As the imperial capital, Yalinks does not hesitate to use the power of magicians to complete various architectural miracles.

The hundred-meter-high city wall we passed when we first entered the city was one of them.

Yes, Tang En visually estimated that the city wall was at least a hundred meters high. What was this concept? A floor on earth is about three meters, which means that the city wall alone is as high as a thirty-three-story building.

The city walls of Alyinx are similar to the main entrance of Forgehammer Keep.

This city wall can make any conventional army stop here and have no choice but to accept the reality of despair, not to mention that this city wall has two layers...

That's right, it's two floors.

Between the outer city wall and the inner city wall are the outer city area, civilian area, military area, market area, outer city administrative area, Holy See area, etc. The main residents here are ordinary residents and the permanent army of 10,000 people. The personal guards of the Errus royal family are also the fundamental force in maintaining law and order in Alyinx. When necessary, these 10,000 personal guards will not hesitate to kill any target that threatens the king.

Inside the second layer of the city wall is the inner city, which is commonly known as the aristocratic area. Being able to enter the inner city represents a unique privilege. Those who struggle in the outer city have passed the gate to the inner city countless times. Every time, I would look inside eagerly, hoping to become a member of it.

But that hope is too slim.

Tang En noticed that there were five floating islands suspended above Yalinks.

"Each of these five floating islands has a mage tower built on it. The five mage towers resonate with each other. Once an emergency occurs, they can instantly open a super shield. It is said that this shield can even withstand legendary powerhouses. The onslaught!"

Hilton explained to Tang En with a sigh on her face. She actually didn't know the specific situation. These were all things she had heard before.

In addition to these, it is said that the overall plan of Yalinks was designed by the Star and Moon Tower Arcane Association. The ground here is leveled by magic, and the water source used in the city is also drawn by magic. Here, the permanent residents You even need to apply for a magic crystal card to handle various things...

Compared with other cities, here in Yalinks, the application of magic has indeed penetrated into every aspect of the residents.

"It would be great if other cities could popularize the application of magic like here in Yalinks."

Tang En sighed with emotion. Although the widespread use of magic in Alexis was not the kind of magic civilization he imagined, it was still a good start.

"That is impossible."

Hilton laughed dumbly: "In order to hire these magicians, the empire spends tens of millions of gold coins every year. This is the price in peacetime. If it is wartime, if you want them to participate in the battle, you have to pay even more. price."

"It sounds so weird..."

Tang En said a little awkwardly: "It's like a mercenary."

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

Hilton spread his hands: "Since the end of the Second Chaos Invasion War, Jean Lord of the Star and Moon established the City of Silver, and then established the Star-Moon Tower Arcane Association, and then the magicians of the Star-Moon Tower declared permanent neutrality. ”

"ah?"

Tang En was shocked. This was different from what he knew in the game. Although the City of Silver and the Star-Moon Tower both existed, when did the magicians become a neutral camp?

"...Lord, you are a magician and you don't even know about this kind of thing. Is it really okay?"

"Wait a minute! The Star-Moon Tower Mystic Association has declared permanent neutrality. Doesn't the Holy See of Light have any objections?"

Unlike other gods, the God of Light Jabilni is obviously more popular. His teachings and doctrines allow people to obey order and protect kindness, but most of the time, the Holy See's duty is to be an observer on the side of God. If you are not an enforcer, you will be wanted by the Holy See only if you disrupt order. Although war is an act of chaos, as an act that ultimately leads to order, it will not be interfered by the Holy See.

Moreover, war can also expand the opportunities for the Holy See to develop believers. It is precisely for this reason that the Holy See of Light actually maintains a positive attitude towards the war, but there is an unspoken rule. If the Holy See of Light wants to intervene in the affairs of the country, there must be a corresponding Strength to restrain it, and the Star-Moon Tower Mystic Association is this strength.

Tang En frowned. In his impression, the Star-Moon Tower Arcane Association and the Holy See of Light were the two major rogue forces in the human camp. In the game, the Holy See of Light was very keen to interfere in the politics and wars of various countries. If the Star The Moon High Tower Secret Law Association suddenly announced that it would quit playing, and the Holy See of Light could only declare neutrality and no longer interfere in politics.

why is it like this?

Because this world is a world of order, everything must return to order. Without the power of restraint, the future of the Bright Church will tend to be chaotic, which will not be recognized by the gods.

Still don’t understand?

To use another metaphor, if the Arcane Society is the United States and the Holy See of Light is Russia, the United States and Russia have been using other countries as tools to compete with each other to expand their influence. At the same time, they are also subject to the supervision of a third party (god). Suddenly one day, The United States feels that it is meaningless to continue interfering in other countries' internal affairs, so it announced that it will no longer play. It will remain neutral and will not actively interfere in anything... I guess even the gods will be stunned and exclaim, right?

If...yes, I mean if, that's the case, what will Russia, which is supervised by gods, do?

It must also declare its neutrality, because its existence itself destroys the balance. If it is allowed to continue, the entire world will soon collapse.

Then when the time comes, the first thing the gods will kill is its church.

"What are you talking about?"

Hilton looked puzzled: "The Holy See of Light has always been neutral."

"……All right……"

Tang En shivered and took a deep breath. What's so surprising?

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

It's just that the two major forces remain 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 challenge to the majesty of God. Therefore, magicians and the Holy See have a natural relationship with each other. , at least it’s normal to sarcastically roll up your sleeves and fight!

They actually declared permanent neutrality? !

What the hell is this world? ?

When two members of the super giant met, instead of making sarcastic remarks and fighting with each other, they actually said hello with a smile and asked if you had eaten... The style of the painting was completely different!

Could it be that I have been idle for too long and decided to remain neutral forever and become a war mercenary?

Whoever gives you money will beat up the other person? What if there are people on both sides?

Is the person who made this decision in the first place out of his mind? ?

I don't know if that person had a seizure, but Tang En felt like he was about to have a seizure.

It seems that as time goes by, the difference between what I experienced in the game and this world is getting bigger and bigger. What does this mean?

Tang En didn't dare to think about it, and he was too scared to think 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 Secret Magic Association have appeared less and less. It is said that they have been busy all over the world. Chaos creatures are fighting, and there are also reports that they are excavating relics from before the war all over the world, trying to restore previous technologies, and there are also reports that they are planning something big..."

Hilton looked away, shrugged and said: "In short, conspiracy theories have never stopped, but the Holy See of Light can still hear the oracles of the great God of Light, which at least shows that they have not done anything that violates the doctrine. "

"Maybe so."

Tang En frowned. He didn't know why. He always felt that there were other reasons, and it was very likely that that reason would eventually become entangled with him and involve him in the vortex...

At this time, the carriage that had been running for a long time finally stopped in front of the second city wall. Inside was the noble area.
