Chapter 132 Princess Karina
Silver City!
Three huge characters are engraved on the quaint city wall.
It is called the City of Silver, of course not because the city is made of silver.
It was because the nobleman who founded the city was called Frank Baiyin.
Said to be a prospector who specialized in finding silver mines for the Empire. Later, he discovered the largest silver mine in the empire and was rewarded with a title, and the city of silver was established.
Later, slowly, the city of silver grew bigger and bigger, and after several changes, it became one of the three major provincial capitals.
This was the first city Ye Jun encountered in this secret world.
It seems that the scale is not small, comparable to some fourth- and fifth-tier urban areas in modern society.
Don't think it's small, in this medieval society, this kind of city is big enough.
After all, the population of a city is only a few hundred thousand.
That's right, the population of the provincial capital is only a few hundred thousand, less than one million.
The whole country of France, with three provinces, adds up to only eight million people.
As for other smaller countries, the smallest is not even a million people.
In this secret world, all the countries combined have a population of only about 40 million, which is stronger than the first-tier cities in modern society.
This is determined by labor and productivity.
The expansion of productivity, the liberation of the labor force, and the ability to feed more people will give birth to more people.
If the common people just barely survive, then no matter how large the area is, it will not help. How can the common people have children if they can’t even feed themselves?
No matter how many children the poor have, they will be gradually eliminated.
Because resources are in the hands of a few social classes.
Just like the servants and tenants of the Smart family, even if they had 100 children, they couldn’t support them. If they wanted to support the children, they had to sign a sales contract for the Smart family. For generations, they could only be slaves. To support himself with the help of the Smart family's fields. The more children you have, the more fields you can cultivate and create more value for the Smart family.
This is the rule of this class to solidify the world, and it is also the sorrow of human beings living in this secret realm.
certainly,
These have nothing to do with Ye Jun.
Since the world changed and gamified.
The previous class has been completely shattered.
This is an era when everyone can cultivate and everyone is like a dragon.
Resources, you need to fight for yourself.
There is no longer the solidification of classes and the domination of capital.
In the past, there was a saying that you cannot change the world, you can only adapt to the world.
However, it is different now.
You can change the world.
In other words, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can break the shackles of all forces, and you don't need to join forces and compromise.
Ye Jun quietly looked at the city in front of him.
At the gate of the city, the crowd was crowded, and a crooked line formed under the scolding of the guards.
Ye Jun didn't stand alone, and took Xiao Yinyao to line up.
Anyway, there are not many people in front of them, only a few dozen.
All people in the process have to pay.
This is called the city entry tax. In official words, you people from outside the city will get dirty, take up resources, and easily cause trouble. You need to pay someone to solve these problems.
One person, five copper coins!
Soon, it was Ye Jun's turn.
Ye Jun took out ten copper coins and gave them to each other.
Just entered the city gate.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
The guard's complexion changed greatly, and he immediately drove the team at the gate of the city aside to clear the road.
Ye Jun looked back and saw that it was the team he met on the way.
As expected of a level 9 horse-drawn carriage, the speed is not slow, and it can catch up with Ye Jun's footsteps.
"His Royal Highness is back, get out of the way!"
The man headed by the convoy shouted loudly.
The crowd around them scattered one after another, for fear that the road would be unlucky.
In this world, the nobles are at the top, and killing the commoners is at best a loss, let alone a person who is a highness.
"It's you!"
When the convoy passed the gate of the city, the man at the head saw Ye Jun, his expression suddenly changed, and his horse stopped.
"What's wrong?" In the carriage, came the voice of His Highness, soft and sweet.
"His Royal Highness, it's the two people we met on the road just now!"
"Huh?" The carriage was stunned for a moment, and then there was a whisper.
It seems a little unbelievable.
"We came all the way and didn't stop, how could it be..."
His Highness in the carriage was a little surprised and a little disbelieving, he lifted the curtain, revealing a white face.
A golden hair, eyes like sapphire, with a little surprise and disbelief.
"How did you guys get ahead of us?"
Ye Jun didn't speak, just looked at each other lightly.
Xiao Yinyao raised her head and said as a matter of course: "Of course it came! We don't have a horse!"
The naive words made the Highness cover his mouth and chuckle.
"His Royal Highness, these two people... are probably weird, do you want to?" The headed guard turned cold and said in a deep voice.
It seems that it is just saying a trivial thing. In their eyes, Ye Jun and the two don't dress like nobles. If they are just civilians, they can find any reason to arrest them.
"presumptuous!"
The Highness seemed a little sullen, and said, "Randall, I said, don't bully others. Nobles should have the demeanor of aristocrats, and the swords in the hands of nobles are used to fight evil and challenge the stronger, not to bully the weak. and civilians."
"His Royal Highness taught me!" Randall lowered his head, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. Especially in his heart, he even sneered at the innocence of this Highness.
Nobles are called nobles, and they are called nobles. If they are no different from commoners, what are nobles called?
This His Royal Highness is too young and not deep in the world, so he is indeed naive.
It's no wonder that the royal family of the Kingdom of France is declining more and more.
Kindness, that's not what nobles need.
Only majesty, with iron and blood, can be awe-inspiring.
Of course, these words cannot be said, so as not to cause the naive Highness to be unhappy.
Some things are done behind the scenes.
"My name is Karina, I'm sorry, the attitude of my guards to you just now... I hope you don't mind."
The Royal Highness named Karina said with a very sincere attitude: "I met you twice along the way, and I think we have a lot of fate. In order to express my apology, I invite you to visit my manor. I hope I can treat you well. Apologizes."
"Your Highness!" Randall's expression changed drastically.
"Randall, do you have any opinion?" Karina looked unhappy. You are Your Highness, don't you have the right to make friends? This Randall has more and more things in charge.
Randall's eyes flickered, and he finally turned his head to look in the other direction, but he sneered secretly in his heart, two civilians, it would take time to teach them a lesson, you invited them back, just to save my effort.
Ha ha……
Like a big cock that defeated her opponent, Karina held her head high and showed a hint of pride.
Along the way, this Randall is in charge of the air, no matter what she does, she has to say a few words, and she is not allowed to make friends with others outside. Now, Karina finally feels that she has won the victory.
As for Ye Jun's thoughts, she never thought about it at all, she didn't believe that anyone would reject her.
This is the natural self-confidence and arrogance that she brought from being pampered since she was a child.
Ye Jun had no interest at all and was about to refuse.
Suddenly seeing Randall's malicious eyes, he smiled coldly in his heart, and nodded in agreement.
"Little Yinyao, let's go and see the life of princes and nobles!" Ye Jun Xiao Yinyao picked it up and put it on his shoulders.
Karina invited Ye Jun and Xiao Yinyao to get on the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious, and it was not crowded for ten people.
Ye Jun is also welcome.
"Is she your sister? So cute! What's her name?"
Xiao Yinyao nodded honestly and replied, "Your Highness Princess, my name is Song Yinyao, you can just call me Xiao Yinyao!"
"This Mr. Song?" Karina looked at Ye Jun and said with a little curiosity: "Although our wildebeest didn't run with all its strength, it was very fast. I'm curious, how did you get ahead of us?"
Ye Jun did not explain that he called Ye Jun and not Song Jun, and said lightly: "I came here when I walked, and I didn't think it was that fast!"
Karina felt that Ye Jun must not tell the truth, this guy is not very honest.
Or this little sister looks good!
"Little Yinyao, tell me, how did you get in front of us?"
"Big brother and I really came over!" Xiao Yinyao said honestly.
Karina was instantly defeated.
She didn't believe it at all, but Xiao Yinyao's innocent and brilliant appearance didn't seem like a lie.
The speed can be so fast, unless a powerful 10th-level warrior runs with all his strength!
But is this possible?
She looked at Ye Jun carefully, but could not see that Ye Jun was a powerful warrior. There's no such vibe at all.
Perhaps, people can't be seen!
Karina remembered something her old father had said.
If the guy in front of him is really a powerful warrior, then maybe she can ask for the help of the other party and help her to take control of Randall.
That's right, although Karina is the princess of the kingdom.
However, over the years, the royal family has weakened, and in Karina's generation, the population has withered. Several of her brothers have died, and she is the only one left.
Her old father is also in poor health. If the old father dies, then she will be the one who will inherit the kingdom of France.
However, over the years, the country's rights have fallen by the wayside, and she has also been sent to the City of Silver to handle affairs.
On the surface, it seems that she is in charge of the party, but in fact, she is excluded from the circle of Wangcheng.
Once the old king had an accident, she was in the City of Silver, and the Emperor Tiangao was far away, so it wasn't a matter of a while to go back.
When she got the news and hurried back, I am afraid that earth-shaking changes have already occurred.
However, she was powerless.
Now the power is in the hands of the consul of Wangcheng, and even Randall is the other party's person. The other party deliberately sent her to protect her, but in fact, it also restricts her freedom.
This time, she went back to Wangcheng to visit her father, but unfortunately, halfway through the road, she was ordered to come back. Of course, it was Randall's "credit". Without Randall's tipping off, the consul could not have known that she was going back to the royal city.
Karina didn't think about finding a way to ask Randall to monitor and control it, but Randall was a level 10 fighter and was very powerful. The entire escort team followed Randall's lead.
Even if Karina buys people's hearts, few people dare to follow her. After all, to face the wrath of a level 10 warrior, these level 8 and level 9 guards have no courage to resist.
Above level 10, they are no longer on the same level. The gap at each level is like a moat.
And now, a suspected powerhouse above level 10 suddenly appeared, how could Karina not be careful?
If she can get the help of such a strong person and have the ability to fight against Randall, she can truly control the escort, control the entire city, and have the capital to fight against the Archon.
Otherwise, why would she invite Ye Jun to her manor? Is it really so innocent? There are so many people on the road, why not invite others?
As the daughter of the royal family, Karina has little social experience, but she was not stupid because of her childhood education.
However, all of this has to wait to determine whether this guy named "Song Jun" is really a level 10 powerhouse.
If not, then I can only send him away secretly, otherwise he offends Randall now, that guy is too naive, he will pay for it, and he will definitely be held accountable.
Ye Jun sat on the carriage, closed his eyes, and listened to the jokes of Karina and Xiao Yinyao.
He naturally guessed in his heart that Karina invited him for an impure purpose.
Although, he didn't know the contradictions within the Faran Kingdom, nor did he know Karina's specific identity and the predicament she was facing. However, he could see more or less that Randall, the captain of the guard, only had superficial respect for Karina.
There is conflict between the two.
But what about that?
These have nothing to do with themselves.
Ye Jun just wanted to inquire about some information about this world by the way.
Compared to a small noble like Smart, Her Royal Highness Karina must know more about the situation in this world.
As said, Randall's hostility.
Ye Jun didn't take it to heart at all.
A level 10 warrior, he really annoyed him, and he could be killed with a slap.
As for whether there is anyone behind this Randall, he doesn't care at all.
He has confidence in his own strength. Even if he really encounters a super strong and loses, he can turn on his flying wings and leave at any time.
Unless, the other party will also fly!
But is that possible?
According to Si Ye the Little Mermaid, even the king cannot fly.
Is it possible that in this world, there can still exist beyond the king?
Ye Jun didn't quite believe it.
Even if there is such an existence, it is estimated that it will not hide in such a small kingdom, and it will not be concerned with such trivial matters.
Soon, Karina's manor arrived.
This manor, built in the city, is not large, only a few hundred acres. Before, it was the home of a small noble businessman. Later, when that guy did something wrong, it was expropriated. After Karina was transferred to the City of Silver, it became the place where she lived.
