Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - Chapter 20: Arriving at the capital (2)

After that, there was the middle class. They had certain cultural knowledge and enough money to hire workers and open various shops and factories. Junior professionals in the capital generally also lived in this location, so this area was full of taverns and hotels. These people also formed a huge business circle on the outer layer.

In the circle closest to the inner city wall, there were usually children without titles from noble families and relatives of the royal guard.

Even for professionals, only those who were clean, well-documented, and had lived in the capital for generations were eligible to join the Royal Guard.

To put it bluntly, most of the people who could enter the Royal Guard were those who had no inheritance rights among the noble children. But at least it also appeases the vast majority of professionals living in the capital. They would never break the law easily so that they could become the Royal Guard for future generations.

The inner city wall was all made of obsidian, and the magic circle on it was shining with light.

Few cities would use obsidian for city walls. This kind of expensive stone was usually used on the border. Only Salar Capital, which was rich and powerful and had the largest gold element mine in the whole continent, would use it.

The outermost circle of the inner layer was the building complex of the major temples. None of these temples dared to be placed in the outer city. Even the church, only the Lord of Justice and the Goddess of the Spring dared to set up in the civilian area. How could people who were really poor and oppressed have the ability to enter the inner city and become city guards?

Then there were aristocratic districts. The princes and other relatives, plus a lord, according to rank from low to high, were distributed in a circular arc.

In the inner city, there was a wide central avenue leading directly to the palace. For the first 1,000 meters of this road, the various shops on both sides basically belonged to the nobles, and within the kilometer close to the palace, all the shops belonged to the royal family.

The entire palace rests on a bed of gold ore. In this stone city, the white palace complex is particularly eye-catching. On the outer wall of the palace separated by a moat from the nobles, the magic circles engraved with mithril on the white rocks are particularly eye-catching.

The palace where the king lived was in the middle of the pentagram magic circle. The tip of the pentagram was a magic tower controlled by five arch-mage. The two gathering places of elements on the left and right of the king’s residence were two legendary magic towers.

The entire palace and the magic tower were actually used to suppress the element tidal vortex formed by the element mine.

It is said that when it was mined that year, the tide of elements formed a huge vortex, and several legendary mages worked together to suppress it. In order to dig this kind of mine, the legendary mages directly entered the elemental world to communicate and negotiate with the gold element, and finally used mithril to build a royal palace complex. This was probably the most expensive palace in the world.

Hill had read various books about the founding of Salar since he was a child, and he was also full of curiosity about this palace. This time he finally got to see it with his own eyes. Hill begged Frank to let him see the city, and Frank noncommittally carried him floating above the inner city gate.
