"I never expected that the fifth son, Ike, the second son of the Hamlet family, could be so eloquent! It would be a pity not to change his profession and become a bard!"
This was George's first emotion after taking off his disguise and reuniting with Merlin in the City of Wayne, the capital of the Negras Empire.
"Hey, this 'bard' must be going crazy by himself right now!" Merlin smiled treacherously, because just when George was asking Ike for various news about Wayne City, Merlin was not idle either. When he got into the car, he had secretly used alchemy potion to knock down Ike's remaining follower. Moreover, Merlin made a very bad joke with that follower——
When he was about to arrive at the station, he added another dose of confusion potion while the follower was still awake. When he woke up, he would lose his memory for a period of time.
Merlin estimated for himself that based on the concentration and dosage of his medicine, it was estimated that during the period of time when the medicine took effect, the poor follower would forget all about his last name.
"Merlin, great job!" George heartily praised Merlin!
It has to be said that the human heart is a very strange thing. After experiencing such an unexpected incident of "sharing adversity", George has put aside his previous prejudice against Merlin.
"It's a small matter! Oh, it's getting late, George, I'm leaving first. The store I bought has to be officially signed today. Remember to come and patronize the business when you have time!"
"Whenever your sense of taste returns to normal, I will come back to visit you again!"
After waving goodbye to Merlin, George hummed a tune and felt particularly happy. But when George took a few steps forward, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have some important questions to ask the black shop owner, but it was a pity that the other party had already walked away and got mixed up with the bustling crowd around him.
"Forget it, let's go shopping next time we have the chance. He has already given us the address anyway."
Continuing to hum a tune, George followed the city map of Wayne City and walked towards the northwest gate of Wayne City. There, he faced a long light and dark shoal, and there, he faced the Griffin Heart Empire. At the southeast gate of the Griffin Heart Imperial Capital, there is George's exit from the Negolas Empire!
…
The capital of the Negras Empire, Wayne City.
Since the First Faction War resulted in the destruction of Nikolaus, the old capital of the Negras Empire, this newly built city is much younger than the historic capitals of other countries, and is even older than many of its young residents. They are all much bigger than this city.
However, although there are not enough years to accumulate, no one will doubt the energy hidden behind this city!
The overall feeling of the city is similar to that of Lijia, a secondary secondary city where George had stayed for a few days. They are both in the style of a "magic alchemy punk city".
However, when the capital's precious space, its exploding population, and the empire's most advanced alchemy technology collided, this young city continued to evolve toward a Hamburg-like three-story space structure until now. Now such a huge and orderly scale:
The lowest space is called the Sudra space. In this space, a large number of the lowest skeletons and undead live here. These undead skeletons, who have no personal subjective will and can only work mechanically, have no citizenship and are called untouchables at best.
Most of these low-level skeletons were surplus soldiers summoned during World War I. Due to the influence of the Undead Canopy, they could not rest in peace after the war, so the necromancers made full use of these remaining labor forces and directed their construction day and night. After finishing the city, the necromancers placed them at the lowest level of the city.
The lives of these low-level skeletons are maintained by the dark energy coming from the underground. They repeat the most basic and arduous work all day long. Until the day when their bodies are completely damaged, they will no longer be able to see the vast ground and sky.
The next floor above the ground floor is also called Vaishya Space. In this space, there are many kinds of residents, including first-order basic civilian zombies with certain autonomous consciousness, second-order medium resident ghosts, and many The same two classes of citizens are inhabited by poor humans.
Since humans are the most widely distributed and numerous race in this plane, even though Negras is a completely undead empire, it is still inseparable from humans in terms of social activities such as neighboring countries' commercial diplomacy and local reclamation, labor and production. Participation.
Emperor Gaudos, who was deeply aware of this, attached great importance to the human community. Every human resident who was willing to join the Negras Empire and live and reproduce in this empire could receive a substantial living allowance at the beginning of each year, but nothing could be done. Prices above ground in Wayne City are too high, and some human residents still choose to live on the lower level where prices are moderate.
At the same time, the next floor is also the transportation channel for the city's caravans in Wayne City. Like the arteries under the skin of a giant, it powerfully and quickly transports materials and people in the city.
As for the ground level known as the Kshatriya space, since the space on the next level has become the main channel for caravan transportation, the road space on the ground is completely handed over to pedestrians. Knights can ride horses on the roadway. The caravan can also be moved along the roadway.
There are many people on the ground floor, including underground residents who occasionally come up from the next floor to purchase goods, mercenaries riding their mounts, or foreign businessmen walking in a hurry. If you look carefully, you can find people who belong to the ground among the mixed crowd. The residents on the ground floor are very significantly different from the "outsiders" - the residents on the ground floor walk unhurriedly, and their faces are filled with arrogance and pride from the bottom of their hearts.
Obviously, those who can live on the ground level are at least third-level nobles who have privileges and live a prosperous life.
Of course, in addition to the three levels of Sudra, Vaishya and Kshatriya, there is also a layer of bloody "ketchup" covering the sky above the "giant burger" of Wayne City——
The fourth space, Brahman space.
The most important race in Wayne City is not the lowly undead, nor humans, but the vampires. Relying on the privileges of third-level nobles and the advantage of racial flight, the Vampires used their financial resources to dominate the sky over the entire city. The rooftops of almost all high-rise buildings in the city are sky gardens for the Vampires in the city. They leave the ground to the weak. Construct your own pavilions high in the sky, and overlook everything on the ground from a commanding position!
In addition to the difference in scale in the depth of the urban structure, the scale of the buildings in Wayne City is also much larger than that of the secondary sub-city Mile Point.
In addition to the headquarters of the mercenary guild adjacent to the city hall, the headquarters of the Spiritualist Society, which recruits and trains necromancers, is also set up in Wayne City. Moreover, this city reveals the characteristics of "biasing" humans everywhere, and Not to mention the large and small pubs and various human entertainment venues, there are even many Illuminati churches. The largest church in the city even invites bishop-level priests to spread faith and treat diseases for the people.
Of course, as the capital of the Undead Empire, the undead who practice death spells must have the privileges of the undead: the Tower of the Undead that enhances the effects of death spells, and the legendary Level 5 Tower that records the most powerful forbidden spell - the Hand of Death. The dark tower of death spells is under the city barrier of lightning and lightning.
As the first generation of emperors who brought such brilliant achievements to the Negolas Empire, Gaudos the Great Negolas also had his own private palace - the Palace of the Dead.
The Palace of the Dead is not only majestic, but also connects the ground of the entire city. In the palace, the power of dark magic and law is constantly surging, and life is endless. If you learn the death spells here, you will definitely Get twice the result with half the effort.
However, our Emperor Gaudos does not like to stay in the palace so much. If there is no important government affairs, he usually prefers to stay in the Dark Tower and meditate on high-level spells and laws independently. I continue to encounter necromancers who come to practice magic, and I continue to understand, learn from, and summarize.
Although their lives and experiences are not as magnificent as that of Emperor Gaudos, they are like the stars in the bright starry sky. Every moment of the stars is unique. When a few become more, they can form a starry sky of their own.
Today, Emperor Gaudos is also meditating and meeting in this dark tower. Suddenly, he sensed an interesting light spot appearing in the tower, a spot that was a mixture of human gray, vampire dark red, and even the bright red of flames.
At the same time, along with this wonderful light spot, there was also the aura of Emperor Gaudos himself.
"Huh? The fragments of the Book of the Dead? It seems that the express delivery sent by Emilia to me has arrived in advance. The power of the law of fate is really wonderful. I will go and meet him for a while!"
Gaudos touched the dark book in his arms lovingly with his undead right hand. What he responded to was a short and violent fluctuation of magic power, just like the pride on the face of a child praised by his father.
