The merchant fleet followed the Chishui River tributary to the north, passed through the Silver Light City, and entered the Grand Canal to the royal capital.

Tasha remembers seeing it in The Graysburg Chronicles, which was a wasteland two hundred years ago.In order to transport the silver mines mined by the nearby mines back to the royal capital, Wimbledon I convened the masons' assembly and nearly ten thousand handymen, and it took 20 years to dig out the canal connecting the royal capital and the silver mine, and the silver mine was gradually formed around a city, which was later named the first king as Yinguang City.

However, the scene presented in front of him at this time is difficult to be associated with the wasteland of two hundred years ago, and the two sides of the canal are lush farmland, and a little farther away, it is a village.This reminded him of the royal road in the border town, and when that road is repaired, I am afraid that the foot of the desperate mountain will become densely populated.

“Did you ever hear that you were a king before?”A woman’s voice sounded from behind.

Tasha turned his head and found that it was Margley, the owner of the caravan, who nodded, "I have been living in the inner city before becoming a royal palace bodyguard."

“How does it feel to be back home?”

"Honestly, it's okay," he said, "if it wasn't for your Highness's arrangement, I'd rather stay in the border town."Although the king is prosperous, it makes people feel bad breath.”Especially for the bottom aristocracy, Tasha thought.

“Yes?”Marguery smiled, “How much do you know about Her Royal Highness Roland?”

“What happened?”This question made him feel a little.

"I think he is an incredible person, obviously in the Wangdu time style is very bad, you should have heard a lot of rumors about him, but in the border town ... not at all like the rumors said, no matter the behavior or ideas are very unpredictable," she paused, "If the steam engine is only his learned proof, but why even the fighters he trained are so different?" 」

Tasha glanced at the first soldiers sitting on the deck—considering that the activities near the royal capital should be as hidden as possible, they were not equipped with muskets, nor wore uniforms, but were replaced with various leather suits, and were behind them a wooden gun that looked like convoys.Most of them were far from the West for the first time, and although they looked around curiously and talked about it, no one took off their shoes or put down their weapons.

In contrast, the mercenaries in the caravan, many of them have been drilled into the cabin in order to avoid the sun, and the three or four people left on the deck took off their shoes, and removed the hand-in-hand weapons and put them aside, lying flat in the shade.

“I don’t know,” Tasha said helplessly.Not that he wanted to conceal it, but that he did not know it—it had been very different since the Four Princes had arrived in the border town, and that "His Highness had probably been pretending to himself before."

“Is that... that?”Marguerite was unable to answer this question, and she was silent for a moment, and suddenly she held out her finger to the front, "Look, it's the wall of the king's city, and we're coming."

At the end of the field of view appeared a hazy blue gray, standing here alone can feel the grandeur of the city wall - this is the most outstanding work before the stonemason will be disbanded, whether it is the height or thickness in the gray castle is the first to the first, I heard that the inner wall even has a room and passage, can accommodate nearly a thousand soldiers to rest, so as to achieve no space patrol and rapid support.

When the wall was clearly in front of Tasha, the fugitives also came into view.

A large number of civilians gathered outside the outskirts of the royal capital, and they set up a simple shed along the city wall, and the fire pit in front of the shed was white smoke, and it seemed that they were boiling wheat porridge.At present, these people have not lost food, and their looks are good.However, the royal relief food will certainly not be distributed endlessly, and when the nobles choose the right labor force, they will send troops to drive these people away.

“What are you going to do?”Marguerite asked curiously, “Send your Highness’s soldiers to promote the pull?”

"No, it's inefficient, and it's easy to get attention," said Tusa, shaking his head. "If you want to work in the royal capital, either buy officials or hire rats, you should know this."

"Indeed," she laughed, "I would have liked to remind you that it seemed unnecessary.So, if there is a need for money, come to me."Marguerite handed him a sign, “As soon as this is shown, the store manager will contact me immediately.”Of course, the golden dragons under a hundred can be taken directly from it.”

“Thank you.”Tasha took the token—a dark red stone, all pierced with a line of never-before-seen words carved at the end.

"No need to be polite," she said with a chute note, "that your Highness will repay me with interest."

After arriving at the canal dock, Taza asked the soldiers of the First Army to stay in the suburbs to wait for news, as far as possible to avoid the sight of the royal city patrol, and enter the city with the caravan.As he passed the gate, he noticed that the guards' inspection was much stricter, and apparently did not want the fugitives from the east to mix into the city.

The first thing that came into the city was a row of towering studs.

The four women with their hands tied behind their hands on it, stinked in the sun, and this surface made Tasston frown.

"Tiffaco's hunts for witches in the city, and they are all unfortunate people who have been caught," sighed Margery, "but it is not accurate to say that some witches are just nobles who are tired of playing, just taking advantage of this opportunity to get out."It is difficult to say whether it is better to remain imprisoned in a dark room without light, or to get rid of pain sooner like this... In any case, I hope they can rest in peace.”

In the middle of the town for six months, Thasa had realized that witches were not as unforgivable as the church had advertised, and that they were no different from ordinary people except in their strange abilities.The woman on the gland, judging from the shape of the body, the youngest may be only fourteen or five, which made him feel a little suffocated in his heart, and the feeling of breathlessness returned.

Wangdu's outer urban area and six months ago did not change much, except for the main road opposite the city gate is the green stone road, the other fork and alleys are mud.The summer sun makes the ground cracks, as long as there is a carriage passing by, a burst of yellow dust will be raised.It is hard to imagine that the capital of the kingdom lost to a deserted town outside the western border in the municipal construction.

After crossing the two streets, the caravan went to the market area, and Tasha and Margery waved goodbye and turned into an alley.

He came to the door of the "underground trumpeter" tavern and pushed the door straight in.

“Hey!It works at night!”Someone shouted.

Tasha ignored it and went straight to the bar and whispered to the man who buried his head and wiped the glass: “Remember me?”

"What stone do you pop out of the worms, and don't you hear the tavern open at night?"He put down his glass impatiently, looked up with his gloomy face, and the two liquorsees who had arranged the tables and chairs came around, "Now I count three - Tower, Master Tsa?"

"It is I," said Tasha, spit, "I have a good business to give you."(Unfinished.
