In the morning light, the fleet gradually sailed into the imperial capital.
Officially, the city's name would now be Santa Bellutucci, the city-state named after the first emperor of Atroca, but this is the eleventh name of the city in recorded history.
Or maybe it's because the name has been changed too much, and in the end, people only remember the simple title of the imperial capital, because since the opening of the Cumming Canal, all the countries here have basically had this city as their capital.
Located in the center of the Kanghe Basin, near the imperial capital, 50% is the steep and rugged karst landform, because it accounts for only 50%, while adding a steep level and magnificent mountains, but does not block the communication between the imperial capital and the outside world, the Kangming Canal is dug out of a rugged mountain, in this section due to the relatively narrowing of the river, the water flow is turbulent, since yesterday, you can see countless slender men shouting on the shore, these people are dressed in rags, shirtless, often slaves, Occasionally, someone fell to the ground due to lack of strength, and the overseer next to him immediately swung out a leather whip, compared to Danma, in the imperial capital, the status of a slave was still extremely unbearable.
Similar to the fleet that Tang Yi took at this time with a relatively complete power system, there is no need for slaves to pull fiber, most of them are in the middle of the land and water, the large and small ships shuttle and crowd before and after, and the slender men on the shore who are full of strange stones shout to shake the sky, but it can also be called a scene of vitality and prosperity, when the fleet sails out one after another from the strange stones in front, what can be seen is the countless harvested rice fields on the shore plain, and March is the season of rice planting.
In many fields, you can already see people busy hoeing and drinking, weak in body, glazed eyes, and with humiliation marks on their faces, most of them slaves.
In the distance, a large road leads from the mountain road, slanting through the fields, and then runs parallel to the canal, with wagons, caravans, mercenaries, and even wanderers weaving through in the vibrant morning light.
The huge and majestic walls of the imperial capital stretched out on both sides in front of it.
Unlike the Danma city wall, which is beautiful and solemn, the imperial capital is a thick and dignified black color throughout, and the huge and towering shoulders create an incomparable coercion, once the ship travels to this huge city wall.
The momentum was enough to oppress everyone speechless.
Traces of repair and damage can be seen everywhere on the castle walls, and the old and the new are intertwined, witnessing the images of countless battles that took place here.
"Since the founding of Atroca, there has only been one foreign invasion that has actually hit here.
These scars look scary, but in fact, they are all made by their own people, and each generation of the royal family has changed, and the king has risen up to serve the king.
Every few decades, most of them are real fights, and some say that the craziest and most genius of the three families is Iflit.
But really speaking.
Actually, it's royalty.
That's right, look over there.
That's the City of King Serpents."
In the distance, Vincent pointed in the direction of the ground and swept over the city wall to the southeast, and the snow-capped mountains of Chilan appeared at the end of the sight, and among the majestic mountains, a huge man-made structure faintly appeared in the silhouette of a majestic figure.
"I can't see it clearly here, but when I get to the city wall over there, it's not far away."
As he spoke, the fleet had sailed into the huge water walled city gate, and compared to Danma, the prosperity of the imperial capital was a different scene.
From the moment you enter the city gates, you can see a huge market on the surrounding roads, muddy, chaotic, busy slaves, the strong smell of fish coming from the boats that pass by the fleet, the old and new houses, the tattered ceilings, strips of cloth, propaganda banners and buntings, and the clothes drying between the various pavilions, the quarrels and bargains of the mercenaries, the cries and laughter of children, what a wonderful world "It's said that this area is about to be demolished because it is detrimental to the city, and they plan to build a landscape and theater district here."
Vincent sat on the side of the boat and looked at the scene, telling others what he knew, Felix walked over from the side, sneered and said: "You also believe the scenic area and the theater area when I came here six years ago, they also said that they would demolish this place, ask the old people who have been living here, you will find that sixty years ago they said so, but now there is not a single plank missing." ” "No, it's fun here."
Christina leaned on the side of the ship and watched with relish, "I always think this is the most interesting place in the imperial capital, why do you have to tear it down" "Hey, I think it's more intimate here, too."
Vincent echoed with a smile.
As they spoke, the fleet had passed through the chaotic area, and as the waterways turned, houses and buildings of all kinds appeared, towering magic towers, huge amphitheaters, ornate churches, and even altars.
Looking at these things, Tang Yi couldn't help but think of the scene when she first entered Danma, when Xiaoxue leaned on his side, excitedly pointing out the same novelty to him, but now she was just sleeping quietly in the cabin, not knowing when she would be able to wake up, looking at the quiet Furna beside her, he smiled lightly: "I'll go in and collect things." ” "Your hands are still inconvenient, I'll go."
"No, I" He hesitated, but he couldn't say anything, Vorna He no longer followed: "I'll wait for you to come out." ” "Hmm."
Nodding, he made his way through the magical-lit aisle as he returned to his cabin, daylight shining through the window onto Xiaoxue's white cheeks, and a bright mote rippling in the air.
Sitting on the chair next to the bed, he gently took Xiaoxue's hand, stared at the tranquil sleeping face for a long time, the hairball shook and stood up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw that it was him and then shook and fell asleep again.
"Little snow" Pressing the back of Xiaoxue's hand against his forehead, he couldn't help choking.
After a long time, there was a slight footstep into the cabin, and someone gently walked to the bed, and when the hairball stood up to look, she was carried into her arms and carefully sat on the edge of the bed.
"Al" "Hmm, Kna, what's the matter?"
"Sister Xiaoxue, she knows that you think of her like this, and she will definitely work hard to wake up.
Don't be sad."
"Well, I know, thank you" "Al, I didn't want to comfort you, because my mother said you're leaving, Al, don't go, okay, where are you going?"
"I won't go anywhere until Xiaoxue wakes up."
"Don't lie to me" "I promise."
Soon after, the fleet stopped at the pier full of banners, and the team welcomed some of the contestants to the Dilong Academy, which was one of the same level as the Danma Noble Academy.
The players of Dilong and Danma compete with each other in each edition of the elite competition.
But also because most of the nobles came with this fleet, and many families also had properties in the imperial capital, and most of the nobles went to live in their homes with friends.
As for Tang Yi, Felix and others, they followed Catherine and Barbara to the most prosperous aristocratic area near the palace.
Storm and Fury, who had been dizzy since they got on the ship, had finally recovered some of their spirits at this moment.
Follow the carriage and trot.
Located on both sides of the Imperial Boulevard, the aristocratic district named after the Black Pearl is actually the center of the entire empire's power, and it is possible to own industries here.

Most of them were people who now had great power in the court and were strong enough to determine the national policy of the entire empire, such as the members of the court council and the elders.
However, there are also some people, in order to enter the palace at any time, so they are placed in this area closest to the palace.
Tang Yi and others belong to this situation.
For Catherine, if she really wants to live, even if she moves to the palace, she can only go home.
But.
Considering the convenience of Tang Yi and others.
I still found a villa in the Black Pearl District that is not conspicuous.
Passing by a luxurious estate, Barra stopped for a moment.
Felix shrugged: "My father's house, of course, is also mine, but I haven't lived in it."
This villa belonging to Gabriel's land is not inferior to the most luxurious first-class villa in the entire Black Pearl District, even though Gabriel has passed away, but due to the influence of Bakna Rorschach, no one dares to covet this vacant house, and now the owner of this house has naturally turned to La, but for some reason, the identity of Gabriel's wife and children, the three major families who know about it have always been tight-lipped, and few people in the outside world know that Gabriel has a relationship with Barbara.
Presumably to avoid trouble or something, Barbara did not want to be associated with Gabriel at this time, and just stared at the crowd for a moment before leaving.
The aristocratic specifications of the imperial capital are obviously a little different from Danma's, even though Catherine's mouth is looking for a relatively simple villa, but when everyone arrived, they found that this manor is still much more luxurious than Mrs.
Catherine's villa in Danma, palace-like buildings, huge lawns, countless beautifully trimmed trees, fountains converge into a labyrinthine scene, after entering the hall, everything seems more brilliant, when hundreds of servants knelt together under the leadership of the housekeeper, Tang Yi, who thought he was used to seeing the market, still couldn't help but be speechless for a long time.
"Hmm, Xiaoxue, we've come to a terrible place."
Leaning down slightly teasingly, she said to Xiaoxue, who was sleeping in a wheelchair, and Furna smiled beside her: "This is the treatment of the prince and the grand duke, plus Lady Catherine is originally a princess, and it is said that it is a remote place, but in terms of specifications, how can anyone dare to slack off." ” "Isn't Lady Catherine a princess without power?"
"yes."
Felix, who was on the side, rolled his eyes, "There is no power in the court, but she is the emperor's favorite sister, and a casual sentence is worth a hundred sentences from others, and don't you know that the territory of the Grand Duke of Casamir, Willy, is one of the richest provinces in the country, with three gold mines, five magic spar mining belts, and a quarter of the country's weapons sales system, don't tell me you don't understand the meaning of these things."
"Well, it seems that there is such a thing" has been an adviser in the Central Department for so long, and the economic questions have also been answered a lot for Mrs.
Catherine, so she naturally understands the power that Catherine's subordinates have, but the Central Department has always acted underground, and with Mrs.
Catherine's low profile, Tang Yi often ignores these halos that surround her, and now I think about it, Relying on the power of any central department, Catherine is enough to become an entire empire, and it is incredible that the nobles of Danma can ignore her.
After settling into the room, the group had a luxurious lunch like a full banquet of the Han Dynasty, in the afternoon.
Ra needs to be busy for the affairs of the Noble Academy for a while, after all, this is only the first batch of contestants with no more than 100 people at this moment, and there will be people arriving here one after another, for example, His Royal Highness Freret, as the crown prince of the empire, will also arrive in three days on the next batch of ships, and a series of things need to be dealt with by the Dilong Academy.
Furna was supposed to deal with these things as well, but considering that she was going to be with Tang Yi, Barbara saved her from the things she had to do and let her play in peace.
As for Lady Catherine.
When he came to the imperial capital, the first thing he naturally did was to go to the palace to meet his brother.
After a short rest, Vincent and Christina proposed to go out to visit the imperial capital, so the group left the villa and left the Black Pearl District.
Take a tour of some of the most famous locations in the imperial capital.
The Altar of the God of Light, the Imperial Martial Palace, and the Avenue of Magic, there are not many places that can be visited in half a day, and except for Tang Yi, everyone else is obviously quite familiar with this place.
The last group stopped in front of a supposedly famous restaurant at the corner of the Avenue of Magic and went up to the second floor, where Vincent sighed, "Oh, something is wrong today."
How so many nobles. ” His exclamation was definitely justified, because it was not yet time to eat, and the entire restaurant was almost full.
Good places have been taken.
Most of these people are well-dressed.
It seems that not the aristocracy is also the nouveau riche.
After a few people looked at it for a moment, Christina first smiled and ran over to the window: "It's good luck."
There's no one sitting in such a nice place, Al, come here. ” It was a window seat, almost the best seat in the entire store, and it was a little strange that it was not occupied at the moment.
Vincent frowned, but Felix didn't bother to care so much, walked over and took off the nobody's sign and sat down with a big stab, Tang Yi was also smiling, and was walking over with Furna, but found that the atmosphere in the store was suddenly a little wrong, many aristocratic men sitting around had already stood up at this moment, glaring at Felix, Kna couldn't help but stand up: "What, what's the matter, aren't you allowed to sit here?"
She looks cute, and she is a girl, so others will naturally not make things difficult, someone on the side said: "Someone is coming from this position, you get up" These people had an arrogant attitude, but Vincent, who was a little hesitant, came over at this moment, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Why don't someone take off the nobody's sign and ignore them." ” He has lived at the bottom of society since he was a child, and it is commonplace to be despised, if it is just himself, he definitely does not want to cause trouble, but he is not the only one in front of him, and he is angry in his heart, beckoning Tang Yi and others to sit down together.
The atmosphere on the entire second floor was tense for a while, and the aristocratic man who spoke pulled out his sword and was about to come over, but a servant-like man ran up from below: "Come, gentlemen, she's already here, she's here."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the man didn't dare to say any more, and for a while, a few more people slapped the table and stood up: "You get out of the way."
But some people came over and persuaded each other with good words: "Everyone, please get up, this position is set by a young lady, she will come here every day, it is almost a routine, a few people seem to be from other places, why make a fuss."
"Hey, Miss, what's the price" sneered slightly, Felix raised his eyebrows, "Come over if you want to fight, get out of here if you want to chat, I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you." ” As soon as the words fell, a slight footstep sounded at the staircase, and then a figure wearing a black veil appeared at the staircase, and when Tang Yi looked back, he was stunned.
"Miss Irina, I still have a place here, please come here."
"I'm Viscount xxxx of the xx family, and there are still vacancies here."
"What's your name, I'm xxxx, U from the xx family As soon as the woman came up, the whole restaurant was boiling, some people took the opportunity to make an invitation, and some people wanted to show their heroism in front of her, when even several pairs of gloves were thrown towards Tang Yi and the others.
The miscellaneous objects were still in the air, but I saw that the woman stretched out her hand and waved it violently, and suddenly the gloves flew back, and even several tables around them were turned over, rumbling into a piece, and several nobles who were originally standing nearby were also knocked out by this force, and they were extremely embarrassed.

The woman went into a frenzy, and suddenly the whole restaurant fell silent.
"Oh" "Heh, what a chance encounter."
Felix and Vincent each raised their eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, while Christina snorted in displeasure.
Because under the suspicious eyes of everyone, the woman who was called "the first beauty in the imperial capital" and "the last witch on the earth" walked over slowly, staring at Tang Yi all the time, and her whole body trembled.
"You're a teacher now, or Al
