Chapter 104: The various aspects of the royal capital
But Xu Kuang then thought about it, since the kingdom had reached such a state of decay, he no longer had to feel any sympathy when he replaced it in the future.
After figuring this section out, Xu Kuang stopped worrying about this matter and went to visit the Marquis at the next level.
The behavior of the marquises was different from that of the dukes. Marquis Parson, the first person Xu Kuang visited, asked his son to come to the door in person, took the gift, whispered in Xu Kuang's ear:
"Don't be impatient, father will put in a good word for you, you can go.".
Xu Kuang smiled, saluted Parson's son, and then turned and left.
Except for Marquis Parson, all the marquises came to the door in person and took the gifts from Xu Kuang's hands, saying that they would help Xu Kuang.
The strict hierarchy among the nobles was beyond Xu Kuang's imagination. He immediately understood why Viscount Bai Hua could regard the laws of the kingdom as shit and conquer him at will.
To give a simple example, for all the nobles on this continent, a higher-level noble conquers a lower-level noble, which is equivalent to a father teaching his son. Nobles of the same level conquer each other, which is equivalent to a brother's breakup. A lower-level noble conquers a higher-level noble, which is equivalent to the lower conquering the superior.
, he will be ostracized by all the nobles and accused of being disobedient.
Almost no noble dared to cross this red line.
Xu Kuang stood on the street, looking at the royal capital speechlessly.
The shops all over the street are marked by nobles, and some high-profit shops even bear the marks of more than a dozen nobles. A simple merchant cannot gain a foothold in the innermost city of the royal capital. There is a serious atmosphere floating in the air here.
Copper smell.
Yellow Rose City has five consecutive walls, dividing the royal city into five floors. The innermost floor is the royal palace, which is extremely luxurious and luxurious. The second floor is where the nobles live. If Xu Kuang has money, he can also buy one here.
A house.
The third floor is where the top wealthy businessmen live. They step on the heads of civilians and ordinary businessmen to kiss the soles of the nobles' feet. They cannot go up or down, and the position is awkward.
The fourth and fifth floors are places where merchants and civilians live together. They are rotten and starving. Their biggest role is to act as cannon fodder to block the inner city for a while when the enemy attacks.
…
Xu Kuang didn't say a word, just stood there quietly.
He didn't know what to say.
Three days later, Parker found Xu Kuang and said to Xu Kuang:
"Your business is done. After fifteen days, the kingdom will canonize the seventeen new viscounts. Remember, after fifteen days, during this period, you'd better prepare your clothes first."
Xu Kuang nodded listlessly and did not take these things to heart.
Parker suddenly said:
"By the way, after fourteen days, you can go to the palace to meet His Majesty the King. At this time, you can present your gift. It may not be too expensive, but it must be exquisite."
Xu Kuang remained expressionless. He gave gifts of more than 200,000 gold coins to every duke and gifts of more than 100,000 gold coins to every marquis. These princes easily harvested the money just by sitting at home.
Such a huge amount of money.
A month's military pay for the 20,000-strong Rock Army is only 100,000 gold coins.
Only now did Xu Kuang understand that these nobles did not need to do anything. They might have a brochure in their hands. Those who gave gifts only need to check the box, and the noble manager can make a decision.
Xu Kuang smiled, touched Parker's fat face, and said to Parker:
"I understand, thank you.".
Parker smiled, saluted Xu Kuang and said:
"Viscount Xu, I hope you will not forget me in the future."
Xu Kuang smiled and said to Parker:
"fine.".
After Parker left, Xu Kuang was bored, so he left the second city and went to the fourth city.
There is no other reason. The terrain here is complex and is the most suitable for practicing moonwalking.
Xu Kuang moved around on various rooftops without slowing down at all. Suddenly, Cuihua's voice rang out.
"Congratulations to the host, Moonwalking has reached the elementary level.".
Xu Kuang smiled. After such a long period of training, he finally had results.
After two months, Stepping on the Moon will advance to the elementary level, and after breaking through two more levels, Stepping on the Moon will be able to enter the minor level.
Different skills have different evaluation levels. In short, the small success of Moonwalking should be equivalent to the special level of other skills.
After practicing the Moon Walk and briefly washing up, Xu Kuang sat cross-legged on the bed and began to think about what gift to give to King Alto.
Xu Kuang thought hard and finally thought of a suitable gift.
Xu Kuang first went to the alchemy materials store to purchase some, spending nearly a million gold coins.
The materials in the royal capital are very complete, almost everything is available. If Xu Kuang didn't have enough money, he would even want to buy them all back.
Xu Kuang picked up a diamond and used his magic power to extend it into a square lens.
Xu Kuang picked up two more crystals, stretched them in different directions, and finally pressed them together.
Then there was a unique tree, which Xu Kuang cut into a small piece and inlaid with gold wire and mithril. There were also other crystals that Xu Kuang made into small transistors.
Each unique part was formed in Xu Kuang's hands and finally put together.
In Xu Kuang's hand was an old-fashioned handheld game console, which could only play a few games. Xu Kuang casually put a Tetris on it, which was considered complete.
The advantage of this game is that it can be completed without too many complicated instructions. Xu Kuang can temporarily use mana to solve the programming problem, but this is not the best solution.
Xu Kuang just programmed a small Tetris game, and all his mana was consumed.
“Unlock the achievement ‘Entertaining the World’ and reward mall points x100.”.
Xu Kuang laughed. He didn't expect that he would be rewarded like this.
Xu Kuang put the game console into the storage space and stopped thinking about it.
After Xu Kuang finished all this, he no longer thought about this problem. He walked to the street and continued to understand the true appearance of this kingdom.
Unknowingly, he came to the entrance of a college.
Submit a letter to Noble Vocational College.
Xu Kuang laughed. He didn't expect that there was a noble academy here.
He walked to the school gate and asked about the admissions conditions. The conditions were so harsh that Xu Kuang was speechless.
This college actually only admits children of earls and above.
Xu Kuang laughed again.
Xu Kuang shook his head and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a group of teenagers walked up to Xu Kuang.
A young man at the head stared at Xu Kuang and asked:
"Who are you?".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Is it necessary to tell you?".
The young man actually nodded, then bypassed Xu Kuang and walked into the academy.
This made Xu Kuang a little surprised. This was not the same as the dude in the novel.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s true, who has a rich family and a lot of time to look for trouble?
