After evolving from an eagle-man into an angel, I annihilated the gods.

An ordinary convoy entered this ancient yet newly emerging capital city.

Jiang You and Anastasia sat inside the carriage, while a middle-aged man in black robes, who had transformed into a dragon, drove the carriage slowly along the road.

at this time.

Steam trains had just appeared, the first railway station on the continent of Feland had been built, and the first steam train was still in the final stages of testing.

Soon, a revolution in transportation and logistics would occur with the advent of the steam train.

This change actually occurred in the Northern Empire.

The extraordinary individuals in the mechanical sequence of the Northern Empire are more sensitive to the development of machinery than those in the Southern Empire.

Afaraga is extremely prosperous.

Stepping into this metropolis with a population of nearly one million, one is immediately greeted by its bustling and prosperous atmosphere.

Buildings exceeding six stories are commonplace in the city, suggesting that city administrators of this era had noticed the large influx of people into the capital and had begun constructing high-rises in limited spaces to accommodate more people.

Apartment buildings subsequently emerged.

However, Jiang You and his group did not stay in one apartment after another built specifically for migrants. Instead, they drove straight to a wealthy area in the city, where a villa had been prepared in advance.

along the way.

Anastasia would occasionally peek out from behind the carriage curtains, gazing at the bustling crowds and sighing with admiration.

“I have long heard that the Southern Empire is inclusive and open, making it most suitable for talented exiles.”

"Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true."

On the streets here, she saw many people who clearly came from all over the country, making a living in this city.

Go halfway.

Anastasia then wanted to get out of the car and walk around to experience the city up close.

Jiang You naturally wouldn't refuse.

He helped Anastasia out of the car and gave instructions to the middle-aged man in black robes.

"Durens, you take the others back first, Anna and I will walk back."

"Also, prepare all the necessary supplies. Anna and the others will be living there from today onwards."

"I understand, my Lord."

The middle-aged man, now in dragon form, nodded respectfully, drove the carriage, and departed with Anastasia's five companions.

As soon as Jiang You and Anastasia got out of the car, they felt the amazed looks from the people around them.

Jiang You has silver hair and purple eyes, is noble and handsome, and has an upright posture. Although his clothes are simple, he still makes people think that he is a great nobleman traveling in plain clothes.

Anastasia is also tall, beautiful, elegant, and has a radiant smile. Her long golden hair shines brilliantly in the sunlight, making her look like an elf who has appeared on earth.

The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, naturally attract attention.

but.

The people in the imperial capital were generally of good character, and there were no mentally challenged nobles or gang members who dared to cause trouble.

This kind of person is clearly not someone to be trifled with.

It was afternoon.

Jiang You and Anastasia, amidst the crowd, felt the unique atmosphere of this era.

The flower shops, machine shops, watch shops, bakeries, weapon shops, restaurants, and shops selling supernatural items along the roadside are all rare sights in Anatania.

She had never seen it in the town of Esha, and in the Kingdom of Gabriel, she rarely left the palace, so naturally she had never seen it either.

She was an eighteen-year-old girl at the time, and she was very interested in some of the new things.

Especially the extraordinary jewelry, which sparkled in the sunlight, delighted Anastasia.

pity.

Each of these items costs a lot of money, and she can't afford them.

She secretly made up her mind because of this.

In the future, I will definitely amass countless riches and be able to buy whatever I want.

While they were strolling around.

A newsboy with a flushed face ran up to them, glanced at them, then lowered his head shyly and handed them a newspaper.

"Handsome sir, beautiful lady, would you like to buy a newspaper?"

"This contains the latest news from the Southern Empire!"

Anastasia blushed instantly.

He called me "Madam"!

At that moment, she looked down at the poorly dressed newsboy and immediately felt pity for him.

The poor child, she seemed to see her former self in him.

She glanced at Jiang You, and seeing that he was also smiling gently at her, she spoke to the newsboy boy.

"Hey, how much?"

"Two copper coins, beautiful lady."

"Buy two."

Anastasia took out four copper coins and placed them in the little boy's hand, then took the two newspapers he handed her.

"Thank you, sir and madam. You will surely be happy."

The newsboy thanked him happily.

Anastasia smiled slightly upon hearing this.

This child is so sensible!

She handed one of the newspapers to Jiang You.

"Give."

Jiang You smiled and took it, glancing at it casually before stopping at a report on one of the pages.

"what?!"

He breathed softly.

"what happened?"

Anastasia rarely saw Jiang You surprised.

Whether in his childhood or along the way, Jiang You has always been so calm and composed, as if nothing in the world is worth moving him in the slightest.

Such demeanor and bearing captivated her.

Jiang You smiled gently.

"I saw someone I knew."

"Acquaintance? Who?"

Anastasia was very curious.

You don't know him yet.

A smile appeared on Jiang You's face as he pointed to a spot on the newspaper page.

A line of text was clearly written on it.

"Arodas Monroe, the dissolute son of the noble Monroe family and former first heir, wanted to return to the family but was turned away."

"Arodas?"

Jiang You thought to himself that this was interesting and continued reading.

It says that Arodas was a dissolute playboy in his youth, sleeping in the Countess's bed one day, rolling around in bed with the Baroness the next, and fooling around at the Nightingale Hotel the day after. He was a notorious playboy in the imperial capital.

Originally, these things were nothing.

The lives of the upper nobility were already chaotic, and Arodas was just a prime example of it.

But coincidentally...

Thirty years ago, Arodas was discovered to be having sex with the wife of a high-ranking nobleman.

This is the wife of the current Imperial Finance Minister.

then.

Finance Minister Piero personally led a team to break down the door and catch the adulterers in the act, and also blocked off the streets. The speed was extremely fast, as if it had been planned in advance.

To avoid being caught on the spot.

Arodas had no time to even put on his clothes before running naked into the street, causing the Monroe family to lose face.

Fortunately, he survived.

afterwards.

Arodas was not ashamed, but proud, claiming that the peak of Lady Piero was the most majestic snow mountain he had ever climbed!

Finance Minister Piero was so angry his nose was crooked.

In order to quell the finance minister's anger, Arrodas's father, Aaron Monroe, expelled Arrodas from the Monroe family and exiled him to the northern frontier.

Despite being stripped of his family name, Arodas did not give up.
