After leaving the hotel, Liao Yu first went to a nearby vendor and easily bought a guide map of the city.
The guide map is very clear. It not only has an overview map of the city, but is also subdivided into regional sections with different functions. There are even simple explanations and notes on several key areas and landmark buildings.
With such a complete and easy-to-use guide map, it is obvious that there must be many "outsiders" like them entering the city every day.
Opening the navigation map, Liao Yu took Hill on the street, watching as he walked.
First of all, they guessed right at first that such a large and prosperous city was the royal city of a country - the Kingdom of Illinois.
On the map, the Royal City is divided into several areas. It seems to be for the convenience of uneducated outsiders to read, so the representation is very simple. It uses the administrative area, Queens Area, College Area, Scenic Area, etc. This is easy to understand. Way.
Among them, what Liao Yu is looking for is the Adventurer's Association, which is a key building and should be very popular among outsiders, so there are additional marks on the map, which saves Liao Yu a lot of trouble.
The association is not far from them. You can reach it by following the main road of the royal city. It is located in the central square area on the map.
After arriving at this huge oval square, the excitement around it increased by several points.
There are various people coming and going, an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages, and shop owners noisily selling goods.
The so-called central square area is actually the large commercial circle of the royal city, and places like this are always the most vibrant and energetic.
Liao Yu could feel that under this scene, Hill's body next to him became much tighter.
normal.
The demons have been sealed in the barren Chaos Rift for thousands of years. In contrast, humans have lived such a prosperous and prosperous life, and judging from the number of ethnic groups, they are still much more than a thousand years ago.
You know, for humans thousands of years ago, it was very rare for humans to have a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
Now Liao Yu estimates that the population of this royal city must be at least millions.
Thinking of this, Liao Yu took the initiative to hold Hill's hand.
Shadow Demon immediately paused.
However, after seeing the comforting look from Liao Yu, Hill quickly adjusted his emotions. His body was no longer so tense due to the many humans around him, but he was always focused, maintained taboos, and focused on Wang Ping'an. The protective attitude is not lacking at all.
Even in the bustling Grand Central Square, the building of the Adventurers Association is very eye-catching and is somewhat of a landmark.
After all, there is no Adventurer's Guild in the world of Sword and Sorcery, just like there is no Tifa in the 3D Zone.
Even though thousands of years have passed, the Adventure Association's badge logo of "Sword and Stars" has not changed, allowing Liao Yu to finally regain some sense of familiarity.
The Adventurer's Association was the first force he joined in his first week, and it can also be said to be the starting point for all "Destiny's Child" stories.
With such a nostalgic mood, Liao Yu walked into the association hall.
Compared to a thousand years ago, the association has obviously been updated many times. It may have been like a small wooden cabin before, but now the hall is extremely spacious, able to accommodate hundreds of people, with three floors inside and three outside, and various The guidance was also done very well.
As soon as he entered, there was a very conspicuous sign, which was a registration area specially opened for "newcomers". After Liao Yu turned along the passage, two more signs appeared.
[Wangcheng household registration/other identification], [non-Wangcheng household registration]
Good guy.
Liao Yu was a little nervous.
It seems that no matter what type of human civilization they are, they all reach the same destination by different paths. After they develop to a certain level, they can all see the shadow of familiarity with each other.
In fact, if you really want to say it, there are also various "adventurers" on Blue Star, but they are called by different names, such as delivery people, couriers, maintenance workers, companions, etc...
Liao Yu walked into the registration channel for "outsiders", but the next scene was a little different from what he imagined.
"What! The registration fee actually costs 5 silver? It's only a dozen coppers in Yonesse City. Why is it so expensive for you!"
"Sorry sir, the association's registration fee will be adjusted according to the location. It is normal for there to be fluctuations."
"Okay, then tell me, why can they register for free!?"
The angry middle-aged man who spoke pointed at the "non-Imperial City household registration" registration area where Liao Yu was located.
That's right.
What surprised Liao Yu was that they, "outsiders", were actually treated better than those in the city.
At least that's the case based on current registrations.
As soon as Liao Yu came over, staff members wearing Peugeot uniforms came to greet him.
After confirming that Liao Yu had never registered anywhere, he first took out a magic stone and handed it to Liao Yu. This is the same as the tradition from thousands of years ago. After being put on it, it can flash corresponding light according to the user's power level.
It stands to reason that there is a fee for this testing process, but the staff had no intention of charging any money.
This is not just Liao Yu. The registration areas for all "outsiders" seem to be completely free. No one charges money. On the contrary, those with royal city household registration or other main city level household registrations will be charged a registration fee of 5 silver. .
This is exactly what the middle-aged man in front was dissatisfied with.
As for the reason...
The staff member in front of Liao Yu smiled and said:
"Sir, all your subsequent registration fees will be provided by Wuhua Alliance."
"The Five Flowers Alliance has a long history of hundreds of years in the Kingdom of Illinois. The alliance was first initiated by the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, Mrs. Walker, and was jointly established with the other three countesses and Countess Perlo. The original intention of the alliance was , is to resist the Kingdom’s household registration system and is committed to helping those on the borders of the Kingdom and in remote mountainous areas.”
"The Five Flowers Alliance hopes that in the Kingdom of Illinois, there will no longer be discrimination based on geography, and there will be no more classifications based on household registration status, and everyone will be able to get equal and fair development opportunities."
The staff not only provided explanations to Liao Yu, but also to all new members of the association who came to register.
Suddenly, many adventurers who were in the same queue as Liao Yu, and whose clothes clearly looked a little rustic and poor, and came from other places, clapped their hands and applauded.
Some people even preached to others around them:
"Wuhua Alliance...I think I've heard of it! Someone from this alliance came to our village and gave us a lot of food! They also picked up my sister and many children from the village and gave them to them for free. Go to a big city to study! I recognize them! That’s the sign!”
"Don't tell me, I seem to have some impression. In the newspaper a few years ago, there seemed to be an article published by the Five Flowers Alliance publicly criticizing the eldest princess, which received the voice and support of many cities in the kingdom at that time!"
When this foreign adventurer mentioned the Great Empress, Liao Yu found that the emotions of the people around him seemed to become more intense.
From their faces, we can see a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction towards this "big princess".
"Good criticism! This is the kind of aristocracy we want! It can help those of us at the bottom speak out! Since the eldest princess joined politics, look what she has implemented? Compulsory household registration system, mandatory addition of multiple checkpoints for entering the city, They deliberately prevented us from entering the city, and even restricted the positions in various places from recruiting too many outsiders!"
"That's right, don't mention this! My sister was originally favored by a big business group in the city, and they all negotiated. But because she violated the new constitution of the princess, the positions for foreigners in that business group were full. As a result, The city guards forcibly deported my sister, and now she can only stay in our little shabby village, it’s so abominable!”
"Let me tell you, if this continues, our Kingdom of Illinois will be destroyed sooner or later at the hands of that eldest princess!"
"Shh! Be careful, this is the royal city. If you speak ill of the eldest princess, you will be arrested!"
"Everyone, stop talking. At least we in the Kingdom of Illinois and the Five Flowers Alliance have kind-hearted nobles who can think about us, right?"
"Thank you Wuhua Alliance! Thank you noble gentlemen!"
