The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 71: The Prosperous Imperial Capital
If Aarons was already speechless with astonishment when he saw dozens of airships taking off and landing after arriving at the Imperial Capital Airport, then when he actually walked into the Imperial Capital City, his jaw dropped in shock.
There are tall buildings, neon lights, busy traffic, and even occasionally you can see magicians flying in single-person vehicles that look like motorcycles - this is not the imperial capital of a magical world, it's simply a super cyber city!
"I, I am just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world..."
Accustomed to living on the border, Aarons thought that the whole world was just a small rural town like the one near his home... and the unlucky young master was sent directly to a college in the suburbs and had not really entered the imperial capital for two years.
Now, he won’t be able to close his jaw for a while.
"This place is indeed comparable to the Magic City of Beijing in your memory. How about taking a look around first, young master?"
"… Let's get down to business first. I have to submit my application for an audience with the emperor. I can go for a stroll while I wait for the summons."
Even if the emperor issued an edict to summon him, he could not just go into the palace to meet him.
According to the rules of the empire, he had to first submit a petition-like letter, on which he had to roughly write down what he planned to say during the audience - this was certainly not a bureaucratic formality, but the emperor was really too busy and had no time to chat with every noble who came to meet him.
Although the empire has few fiefs, there are more than a thousand honorary nobles. Because the children of each noble family are nobles, and the descendants of the children may also have the title of baron... If the emperor has to chat about family matters when meeting with every noble, then can he still do his work?
So this is simply to improve efficiency - the person who comes to meet the emperor writes down clearly what he wants to say in advance, and the emperor can make a decision directly after seeing it, and it can be done in a few minutes, thus avoiding delays in other important matters.
Of course, if you are an important noble, you definitely don't have to go through this process.
"Haven't you already written it? Then hand it in first."
After taking Karin Xia Ye to the outskirts of the imperial city in the city center, Aarons felt a little nostalgic.
From the outside, the imperial city looked solemn and dignified, which was in stark contrast to the extravagant and luxurious scene outside. It was unknown whether the emperor of the empire was in love with this prosperous scene or did not care about the extravagance outside.
There weren't many guards outside the city gate, because the entire imperial city was surrounded by a powerful barrier, and even mosquitoes couldn't get into the imperial city without permission. However, there was an old man and several golden-armored guards at the gate, and all outsiders who wanted to enter the imperial city had to ask him to submit a petition first.
——Probably an old man in the message room.
"The eldest son of Marquis Moti? I've never heard of him... I've accepted the letter, you just go back and wait."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you to come here for such a trivial matter. This small gift is not enough to show your respect."
Aarons was not a fool. He knew that the person who could sit here and guard the gate must be someone extraordinary. Even if he was short of money, he had to send a gift to show his favor.
Otherwise, if the old man delayed for two or three days before submitting the memorial, the emperor might punish him for his negligence.
"Wow, it's actually an intermediate healing potion. You're really thoughtful, little fellow... Take it back. I have some friendship with Marquis Moti, so I won't accept this gift."
Aarons originally thought that the old man was sitting here just to make some money, but after he really gave him the gift, the old man pushed it back.
"In addition, I was asked by someone a few days ago to go to the mansion in the north of the city to talk to the owner if he met anyone related to the Marquis's family here. Since the little guy claims to be the eldest son of the Marquis, how about going to the north first?"
"I've got it in mind, kid."
Although the application was submitted, Aarons was confused again.
He doesn't know anyone in the capital? Who would invite him over to chat at this time?
The Marquis's former friends? Now the Marquis is dead! Even his genius youngest son is gone, what can you talk about with the remaining useless eldest son?
Could it be that he was someone who had a grudge against the Marquis and was looking for revenge? But the Marquis and his heir were already dead, right? No matter how big the grudge was, it wouldn't be necessary to kill the remaining useless son, right?
——Aarons couldn’t understand why anyone would come to him at this time. He was still confused even after he got back on the bus.
"Master, where are you going next? We don't have much money left, so we have to find a cheap hotel tonight."
"Ah...oh, wait a minute, let me ask first."
After opening the side door of the carriage, Aarons directly called the coachman driving in front.
"Master, I heard there is a mansion in the north of the city. Do you know where it is?"
"Mansion? Sir, have you just arrived in the imperial capital and are not familiar with the city's affairs? There is indeed a mansion in the north, but everyone knows that the name of the mansion is Lingqing——"
"Shhh - sorry, I was confused for a moment!"
——After hearing this name, some of Aarons' memories immediately revived.
The name Lingqing is indeed a household name in the empire, because the name actually comes from one person.
The empire's foundation was unstable a hundred years ago. Although the then Emperor Armand IV worked hard to govern the country, he was still overwhelmed by internal and external troubles.
Not only were Cardia and Collins eyeing the west, but there were even small countries in the south that dared to openly encroach on the empire's territory. The corruption of internal ministers and the fighting among nobles greatly consumed the country's national strength. Even the emperor's edict could not be transmitted more than a few hundred miles away.
But one day, when the emperor was on a secret visit, he accidentally rescued a wandering warrior.
The warrior was being hunted by his enemies and he could not shake off the killer after traveling across two or three countries. The fourth emperor, though only a fourth-level warrior, helped the warrior escape and was seriously injured himself.
After the two barely escaped, the warrior realized that the person who saved him was actually the emperor of the empire. Knowing that he had not much time left, the fourth emperor lamented the current situation of the empire and his own incompetence, and actually expressed his intention to entrust his son to this stranger warrior.
[The Empire is already like a candle in the wind, so please protect my illegitimate son... If there is no hope for the Empire to revive, please take the child away.]
The life-saving grace of an emperor who was sidelined risked his own life, leaving this wandering warrior feeling unable to repay the favor.
And when he broke into the imperial capital alone and saved the youngest prince, and took the fourth emperor's will and executed several nobles who wanted to rebel, the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time was finally broken through.
He advanced to the forbidden position as a human being. The fighting spirit solidified into crystal changed some of his characteristics as a human being, but fortunately his will was preserved.
When this warrior with the Lingqing Crystal single-handedly defeated all the rebels and supported his youngest son to ascend the throne and become the fifth emperor, the fortunes of the empire were reversed.
[I have been entrusted by my benefactor, and I will be used by the empire from now on.]
The empire began to regain its prosperity, and this warrior, who gained a long life when he advanced and is still alive today, has become a living legend known to all in the empire.
Lingqing Martial God.
