Chapter 1175 Qin Kuairen's Confidence
The Immortal City located in Pals is the most magnificent city in the whole world. There are nearly half a million people living here, and there is a constant stream of traffic.
The Immortal City does not belong to any country, but it has irresistible command power over the seventeen human kingdoms on the entire continent.
Because the Immortal City is a city of mages, there are nearly 50,000 regular mages and mage apprentices in this city of 500,000 people. The remaining 450,000 people are almost ordinary people who serve the 50,000 mages and mage apprentices, or are apprentices who are studying hard and expect to become mage apprentices.
A mage, a group of people who control supernatural powers. They have extraordinary control over the world. The wars of ordinary humans are meaningless in their eyes.
An official third-tier mage can easily defeat an elite human army composed of a hundred foot knights. He only needs to wave his wand, and those foot knights will be crushed by their heavy armor, or burnt to roast meat.
And in the Immortal City, there are more than ten thousand mages with these extraordinary powers.
Fortunately, the mages are not very interested in the struggle for the rights of human countries. Because the mages want to really seize power not in the human country, but in the immortal city.
In this world, if you want to gain real power, you must make a name for yourself in the Immortal City. Among the 200 ordinary seats of the Mage United Association in the Immortal City, among the 30 superior seats, one of the five supreme speakers has its own status.
The rights of human nations are illusory and ethereal, but only the rights of the immortal city are real and powerful.
Because of the extraordinary power of the mage, the Immortal City has become the center of the entire world, and it is also the most prosperous place in the entire world.
It has the most tall buildings in the world.
The tall buildings that can be built in the mortal world are only like castles, and thirty meters high can already be described as majestic and majestic.
In the Immortal City, mage towers with a height of 100 meters stand everywhere. And the tallest building is the giant spire built in the center of the city: the Immortal Spire!
This is a white tower building, its bottom is supported by a giant circular base with a diameter of 400 meters, and then it rises step by step. The tower became thinner as it went higher, and when it reached the top of the 300-meter-tall tower, its internal diameter had shrunk to 200 meters.
There are also golden lines on the outer wall of the towering white minaret, which are lines of magic circles. They give the tower every protection against being destroyed by storms, thunderstorms, and earthquakes. At the same time, it is also a large formation that combines defense and offense. If the Immortal City is really attacked, it will become the last barrier of the Immortal City.
The monumental minaret, white with gold patterns, shines in the sun, and it is an existence that everyone who comes to this city must admire.
The Immortal City has no walls, because if the mages are really going to face a war, the walls will be their hindrance.
But this does not mean that entering the Immortal City is easy, nor does it mean that the Immortal City is not fortified. In fact, there are psychedelic circles around the entire Immortal City. If someone wants to sneak into the Immortal City without going through the roads in and out of the city, it is very likely that they will be trapped in the psychedelic circle and starve to death. If an ordinary mortal army wanted to attack the Immortal City, they would not even be able to pass this level.
The Immortal City is too great, and has many admirers. Countless people want to live and study in this miraculous city.
But the Immortal City is not so easy to recruit outsiders. Now the population of the Immortal City is close to saturation, although it is also expanding outward, but the speed is not so fast. Because the Mage Council didn't want the city's construction to fail to keep up with their vision due to rapid expansion.
So they have stopped recruiting foreigners for many years. Although people from outside can come to the Immortal City to visit relatives and do business, they cannot live in the city without the resident qualifications of the Immortal City.
Only those trainee apprentices with magical talents and some skilled craftsmen needed for the development of the city will be brought into the city by the mages every year, and they will be subject to resident qualifications.
This led to the fact that although the Immortal City is only one city, eight satellite cities are scattered around it.
In the beginning, they were just a camp spontaneously formed by people who wanted to enter the Immortal City but couldn't. But over time, and the traffic arteries they were stuck on, these city formations developed.
Sylvie City, about thirty kilometers west of the Immortal City, is a city developed in this way. The city here is not that big compared to the Immortal City, with a population of only 100,000. But compared to other human countries on the mainland, this is a big city that can almost be the capital of a country.
Sylvie City is a satellite city of the Immortal City, although there is a city lord here who is responsible for managing daily affairs. But everyone knew that Sylvie's real rulers were the mages of the Immortal City. They run the city indirectly.
The city is an important food supply for the Immortal City. Sylvie is a farming city through and through. Because it happens to be located on a large plain with lush water system. The rhizome grains produced here are the most important staple food in the Immortal City and even several surrounding cities.
At the same time, because Sylvie happened to be stuck on the road to the west of the Immortal City, any business traveler who wanted to enter the Immortal City would make the final repairs in Sylvie. So Sylvie was considered a very prosperous city among the many satellite cities.
Listening to Qin Kuairen's introduction, Zhang Tong nodded frequently as he walked on the smooth stone road. On both sides of the road are planted areas out of sight.
"The root food grown here is very similar to potatoes. They have a high yield and can be used for food and wine. The city of Sylvie almost supports all the staple food of ten surrounding cities. It also produces the best food near the Immortal City. I'll buy you a glass of shochu later." Qin Kuairen said to Zhang Tong.
Returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar world, Qin Kuairen has a feeling of revisiting his old place.
"The area around the Immortal City is very quiet and peaceful. Although other human countries are fighting, the flames of war have never reached the vicinity of the Immortal City. We will go to the Immortal City to find my teacher later, and then have a good talk with him Maybe this time it will happen." Qin Kuairen seemed confident about this task.
He doesn't have much time to spend on political tasks. Finding time for himself to learn more magic, especially medical magic is the most important thing.
Zhang Tong asked Qin Kuiren curiously: "You keep talking about your teacher, but I'm curious about who your teacher is? Is it influential in this world?"
Qin Kuairen patted his chest: "Of course! My teacher is one of the five speakers of the Immortal City, and he is the most powerful magician in this continent. As long as he opens his mouth, there is nothing that cannot be done! When we finish the matter , Boss Zhang, I invite you to eat the most unique food in the world!"
Qin Kuairen and Zhang Tong were getting closer and closer to Sylvie City while they were talking. But the closer to the city, the more pedestrians on the road, Zhang Tong began to doubt what Qin Kuiren said.
Doesn't it mean that this is a land of abundance and peace? Why are people passing by in a hurry?
