Chapter 167

Arlex, the capital of the Ilus Empire, is known as the city of glory. The permanent population here is as high as one million. Even if you look at the whole prandal, it is one of the super cities.

what? Say millions of people are not super cities? Are you kidding me?

Don't forget that this is prandal, not the earth.

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

Because of the guidance of the upper class, they subconsciously yearn for magic and talent, place their hopes on magic and talent, and think that it is the only way out. Therefore, no one has ever studied physical chemistry and other disciplines, which is why Donne is tangled.

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

One of the reasons is that because the world has magic, people see hope, so they are lazy.

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

incomprehension? It's simple.

If the civilians have any good inventions, the upper class nobles will immediately and violently take them as their own. If they are harmless inventions, they may see the sun again. If the invention touches the foundation of the nobles' interests, it will be completely hidden.

In this case, can civilians really spark their thinking? Do you really dare to bloom?

Donne shook his head to himself.

Is it really happy to live here?

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

They have no magic, no strength of blood and gas, and no talent. They live here with their own hands and strength. It can be seen how hard it is.

Don't you understand?

Let's make another analogy. It's like a man who can't do anything but move bricks living in Beijing... Is this metaphor very vivid?

In Donne's opinion, alinks can already be called prandal's super city. It is crowded, prosperous and full of vitality.

It is quite different from the cities we have seen before. As the imperial capital, alinks is not reluctant to use the power of magicians to complete various architectural miracles.

One of them is the 100 meter high wall that I passed when I first entered the city.

Yes, Donne saw that the wall was at least 100 meters high. What's the concept? The first floor on the earth is about three meters, that is, the city wall alone is as high as 33 floors.

The walls of arlinks compete with the main gate of hammerforge.

This city wall can stop any conventional army here, and can only accept the reality of despair, not to mention that the city wall has two layers

Yes, 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 municipal area, Holy See area, etc. the main residents here are ordinary residents and 10000 permanent troops. They are the pro guards of the Ilus royal family and the fundamental force to maintain law and order in arlex. When necessary, The 10000 Pro guards will not hesitate to kill all targets that threaten the king.

The second layer of the city wall is the inner city area, which is commonly known as the noble area. Being able to enter the inner city area itself represents a unique honor. Those who struggle in the outer city area will look inside eagerly and hope to become a member of the inner city when they pass through the gate to the inner city many times.

However, that hope is too slim.

Donne noticed that five floating islands were suspended over the Alex.

"A mage tower is built on each of the five floating islands. The five mage towers resonate with each other. In case of an emergency, they can immediately open a super shield. It is said that this shield can even resist the fierce attack of legendary strong men!"

Hilton explained with a sigh to Donne that she didn't know the specific situation. She had heard it before.

In addition to these, it is said that the overall planning of yarinks is designed by the star moon tower Secret Law Association. The ground here is leveled by magic, and the water used in the city is also attracted by magic. Here, permanent residents even need to apply for a magic crystal card to deal with all kinds of things

Compared with other cities, the application of magic has indeed penetrated into all aspects of residents here in arlinks.

"If only other cities could popularize the application of magic like Alex."

Donne sighed. Although the popularization of magic here is not the kind of magic civilization he imagined, it is a good start.

"That's impossible."

Hilton smiled: "in order to hire these magicians, the Empire has to spend tens of millions of gold coins every year. This is still the price in peacetime. If it is war time, if you want them to participate in the battle, you have to pay a higher price."

"Sounds weird..."

Donne said awkwardly, "it's like a mercenary."

"But in fact, now the magician is a neutral force independent of all countries."

Hilton stalled: "since the end of the second chaotic invasion war, Jean Lord of the stars and moon established the city of silver, and then established the Secret Law Association of the stars and moon tower, and then the magicians of the stars and moon tower declared permanent neutrality."

"Ah?"

Donne was surprised, which was different from what he knew in the game. Although the silver city and the star moon tower exist, when did the magician become a neutral camp?

"... Lord, you are a magician. You don't even know this kind of thing. Is it really all right?"

"Wait! Does the Holy See of light have no objection to the announcement of permanent neutrality by the star moon tower secret Dharma association?"

Different from other gods, jebirni, the God of light, is obviously more popular. His teachings and dogmas let people abide by order and guard kindness. However, most of the time, the Holy See's duty is an observer on the side of God rather than an executor. Only when order is broken can it be wanted by the Holy See. Although war is an act of chaos, But as an act that eventually tends to order, it is not disturbed by the Holy See.

Moreover, war can also expand the opportunities for the Holy See to develop believers. Therefore, the Holy See of light actually maintains a positive attitude towards war, but there is a hidden rule. If the Holy See of light wants to intervene in the affairs of the country, it must have a corresponding force to restrain it, and the star moon tower Secret Law Association is this force.

Donne frowned. In his impression, the star moon tower Secret Law Association and the Holy See of light are two rogue forces in the human camp. In the game, the Holy See of light is very keen to intervene in politics and wars in various countries. If the star moon tower Secret Law Association suddenly announces that it will quit playing, the Holy See of light can only declare neutrality and no longer intervene in politics.

Why do things turn out like this?

Because the world is a world of order, everything must return to order. Without the power of restraint, the future of the bright Vatican tends to chaos, which is not recognized by the gods.

Don't you understand?

Let's make another analogy. If the Secret Law Association is the United States and the Holy See of light is Russia, the United States and Russia have been competing with each other to expand their influence with other countries as tools, and are also supervised by a third party (gods). Suddenly one day, the United States felt that it was boring to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, so it announced that it would not play, It will be permanently neutral and will not take the initiative to interfere in anything... It is estimated that even the gods will be stunned and cry out in surprise, right?

If... Yes, I mean if, in that case, what would Russia, supervised by the gods, do?

It must also declare its neutrality, because its very existence is to destroy the balance. If it is allowed to continue, the whole world will soon fall into collapse.

At that time, the first thing that God should kill is its church.

"What are you talking about?"

Hilton looked puzzled: "the Holy See of light has always been neutral."

"... okay..."

Donne shivered and took a deep breath. What's the surprise?

Yes, didn't you know that there are many differences between here and the game?

It's just that the two major forces remain neutral. What's amazing... It's strange!

These two forces are the two biggest human forces in prandar!!!

The Holy See has always believed that human beings, as the people of God, should hold the most basic respect for the power of magic, and the existence of magicians provokes the majesty of God. Therefore, the relationship between magicians and the holy see is not natural. They play their brains so hard without saying they meet. At least, it is normal to raise their sleeves with sarcasm!

They all declared permanent neutrality?!

What the hell is this world!?

When the members of the two super giants met, they didn't sneer at the copying guy. They even greeted him with a smile and asked if you had eaten... The painting style is different!

Is it true that I have been idle for too long, so I decided to be permanently neutral and become a war mercenary?

Who gives money will help who beat the opposite? What if both sides have their own people?

Did the person who made this decision have a brain attack!?

I don't know if that man has brain pumping. Anyway, don feels like he's going to have a brain pumping.

It seems that with the passage of time, the difference between the game and the world is getting bigger and bigger. What does this mean?

Donne didn't dare to think. He was terrified.

"Anyway," Hilton said casually, looking out the window: "Since the end of the second chaotic invasion war, the Holy See of light and the Secret Law Association have appeared less and less. It is said that they have been busy fighting against chaotic creatures all over the world. It is also said that they are excavating the relics before the war all over the world, trying to restore the previous technology, and they are planning something big..."

Hilton looked back, shrugged and said, "in a word, conspiracy theory has never stopped, but the Holy See of light can still hear the oracle of the great God of light, which at least shows that they have not done anything contrary to their teachings."

"Maybe."

Donne frowned. He didn't know why. He always felt that there were other reasons, and it was likely that the reason would eventually entangle 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 wall. Inside, it was the noble district.
