Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    (1)

    We took the "Dawn" and entered the "King" Port in the royal city of "Berestia" at noon on the 10th day after 9 days of sailing.

    "Wow! Is that the royal city? It's so big! Is that the royal palace?"

    Stanton started shouting like a child before he even got off the boat.

    The city of "Berestia" is located to the east of the Holy Malaga Empire, close to the East Sea.  The King's Port where we are now is on the coastline southeast of the King's City.

    "Master DuBoer! Master DuBoer! Over here! Over here!" A tall man stood in the bustling crowd and waved to us.

    "It's Hathvi's guard captain: Asantan!" I didn't expect to meet Hathvi's friends here.

    "Hee hee! Who are you talking about? It turns out to be you, Asantean." He flew over with hair curled up and dust all the way, and beat Asantean on the shoulder hard.  Poor Asantean, the captain of the guard, swayed and could no longer stand still.

    With great difficulty, we loosened our grip all the way, and we quickly helped Asantean aside to rest.

    (2)

    It turns out that Asantean, the quasi-knight along the way with Stanton and the captain of the Hathvi City Guards, accompanied the envoy from the royal city and arrived at "Berestia" ahead of us.  When we arrived, Bishop Marga specifically asked him to remember the time to pick us up.  I am very grateful to your lordship for everything we have done, and of course to Asantean.

    After chatting for a while, Asantean called his entourage, and we walked towards the royal city together.

    "Wow, look at these guys. They all look oily and powdery. If they are my opponent, see if I don't crush them to death!" On the way to the royal city, you can see pairs of noble knights and those heading to "Beristi"  Ya" civilians preparing to watch the knight competition.  Stanton showed obvious dissatisfaction with these young noble knights.  However, these people did not listen to the black-haired devil's words at all. Their eyes fell on Yifa who was riding a tall horse.

    "Oh my god! What kind of guy is that! Look at his horse's hooves? Oh my god! It's at least as big as a washbasin!" A passerby was stunned by the horse that was riding all the way.

    "Is that guy a bear in human skin? How come he has such a big lump?" A middle-aged man with an aristocratic appearance asked his companions.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so, it should be a person wearing bears¡¯ skin.¡± The companion said.

    The passers-by were whispering and talking all the way, while the young knights all opened their mouths and looked at Bitril in surprise.

    "What a beautiful person! My friend, please help me ask the name of that beautiful girl?" A knight riding a black horse said to his friend.

    The knight waited for a long time but did not respond. He turned around and saw that his knight friend was motionless on the spot, with nosebleeds and saliva flowing all over the floor.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

    After about three quarters of an hour, a group of us arrived in front of the city gate of "Berestia".

    The city walls of "Berestia" are very tall (compared to the earthen walls of Hasvi City) and are now covered with various colorful flags marking the knight competition.  The seawater drawn from the "King" Harbor flows slowly in the moat under the city wall. The light blue seawater reflects the towering city gate, making the city of "Berestia" even more majestic.

    Guards in gorgeous uniforms lined up neatly in front of the city gate holding high the national flag symbolizing the king.  A group of soldiers, led by a knight wearing the uniform of the Royal Knights, were methodically checking passers-by who were about to enter the city.

    Asantean rode in front of us. A follower ran forward first and handed a certificate to the knight leading the team.  The knight read the certificate, called a soldier over, and asked the guard to lead us into the city of "Berestia" through the side door.

    Stepping into "Berestia", I realized that this royal city is really not that big:

    The entire "Berestia" is divided into 4 areas. The first area is the trading area, which is the outermost urban area.  Various chambers of commerce and inns are located here; the second area is the residential area, protected by the second city wall.  Taverns, red light districts, and various mass entertainment facilities are located in this area; the third area is the administrative area, protected by the third city wall.  Schools, medical hospitals, the National Library, the National Cathedral and administrative units at all levels are located in this area; the fourth area is the palace, protected by the fourth city wall and a moat.  The royal palace is located in the center of the city of "Berestia" and is divided into a tic-tac-toe array of buildings. The center point of the tic-tac toe is the king's palace: "Bordnar Palace" (Bordnar: in Continental, there are ten thousand kings.  The meaning of the king.)

    (4)

    I gave the soldier half a silver coin, and this guy called "Little Peter" was very happy.He smiled brightly and kept saluting.  (It seems that money is really the bastard!) Before leaving, they also got us a "Berestia Tour Guide".

    Under the leadership of Asantean, we passed through the crowded trading area and entered the residential area.

    "Wow! How much do these houses cost? They are so beautiful!" I couldn't help but ask, looking at the small buildings lined with red bricks and white tiles on both sides of the street.

    "The one here is the cheapest, about 50 gold coins per building, right?" Asantean said.

    "So expensive? Can ordinary people afford it?" I think it is simply a luxury.

    ¡°This is not where civilians live. Civilians live in shacks outside the city and in the trading area.¡± Asantean explained to me.

    "Then who live here? Are they all nobles?" I continued to ask.

    "They are not all nobles, there are also some wealthy businessmen."

    Oh I got it.  But I don¡¯t know why Asantean brought us here.

    "Sir Sir Richard has arranged for you to live in Crown Prince Street, which is Sir Richard's official residence. Sir, he does not have time to attend the knights meeting, so he asked me to take you to live with him." Asantean was very grateful to Sir Richard.  of generosity.

    "Thank you very much," I said sincerely.

    "Wow! Look there! What a big house! Is the palace here?" Bitril said, pointing to the grand mansion not far away.

    "Hehe, Beatrille, that is the Pope's official residence. The palace is still far away."

    "Oh! This is the Pope's home. I thought it was the palace." Bitril said embarrassedly.

    (5)

    "Hey, monster, go find a pocket and let's move this thing back. What do you think?"

    "Okay! People like this shiny thing the most."

    As soon as they entered Lord Silent Richard's mansion, Stanton and Yifa went crazy.  Now these two guys were squatting on the floor of the hall, one of them gesturing with a sword, preparing to pry up the marble floor tiles and take them away.

    "You two stupid pigs! You can't pry marble like this, you have to do it like this" Even Montetier, who never cared much about money, began to command the two guys.  But to be honest, even in this world, I have never seen such good sudden marble, and it is still such a big piece.

    After Assuntan bravely stopped the greedy behavior of several guys, he showed us our respective rooms. Of course, we stayed in the guest room.  It's best not to touch Lord Richard's room, otherwise Stanton, Yifa, and, by the way, Monte Carlo may go crazy again.

    Seeing that everyone was quite satisfied with the room, Asantean left politely.  Stanton and the other guys gathered around Bitril's room and started planning again.  (The room where Bitril lives is specially used to receive female guests)

    I looked at these guys with scoundrel looks on their faces.  Hey, I guess I didn¡¯t experience anything like this when I first started working in a hotel. Oh, except for the ¡°Welcome¡± floor mat.  .  .  .  .  .  .

    (6)

    Today is January 12th, and the Knights Conference will be officially held four days later, on January 16th.  Stanton and his three quasi-knights were the first to participate in the competition, so they entered the quasi-knights' arena at the Queen's Hunting Ground outside the city one day in advance.  Time was running out, so Asantean decided to start explaining the competition system and rules to us in detail right away.

    "Generally speaking, the quasi-knight competition is inferior in scale and system to the knight competition, but the intensity of the competition is much greater than the knight competition. Because we quasi-knights all want to win the competition and directly obtain the apprentice knight or knight  title."

    Asantean looked at everyone and found that everyone was listening to him attentively. He smiled with satisfaction and continued:

    ¡°So, the first thing we need to understand is not how to win, but how to protect ourselves and get ourselves to the end.

    Tomorrow I will take you to modify your armor. I find that your mail armor is really good.  .  very.  .  Original ecology!  "Asantean held it in for a long time before spitting out the word.

    I¡¯ll do it!  I spent 4 gold coins to get 3 sets of original armor?  It seems that there are hateful black workshops in any era!

    (7)

    "How much will it cost? It's okay, Asantean. Just tell me." I said confidently.

    "A set may cost 15 to 20 gold coins, mainly because time is too tight." Asantean completely ignored the group of statues around him.

    "Oh!" I fell down.
