Chapter 232 The Lion Empire
Entering Saenhein, the atmosphere inside the city wall is worse than expected.
After spending a little time, Chen Yaogang took the lead in finding a clean hotel. After all, he successfully settled down and could stay there first to observe the situation.
Saenhein was originally a town, at least before the disaster of the slums and river diverted the city blockade, the two were one. Because the environment of the old royal capital was harsh and buildings were always affected by natural disasters, the people expanded the city blockade and gradually developed in the northwest with the support of the emperor.
According to the original imperial plan, Sarenhein would gradually move the capital completely, demolish and rebuild the buildings affected by the disaster, and expand the population capacity of the royal capital. Unfortunately, before the construction was completed, natural disasters disrupted their plans, tearing the town apart and dividing it into two.
It may be that the flood tragedy in the history of the empire led to irreversible consequences. Even if the flood recedes, most of the land lost in resources will lose its development value, and Saenhein immediately fell into embarrassment. According to the original architectural design, the service life of many residential buildings and blocks is about to reach their limits, and it is easy to have major safety hazards if they live there, so they have to be repaired without repairing. The ancient Lion Empire was stuck in such a critical period.
Compared with Roger Watch, which has magic protection everywhere, Saenhein's power to protect the town is mostly carried out by manpower.
People here hate the abuse of magic and cannot maintain too much rationality on this topic, but at the same time they can't accept the reality: without a magic barrier, the guards have been attacked more than once, and even if humans do not use magic monsters, they will use it, so they can only use it if they want to survive.
Langdon stood at the window and looked at the wind: "The big city that is prosperous due to trade is different from what I imagined. If the information on the streets of Sarnehein was true, these things would be too terrible, right?"
Komaco was setting up a sacred protection barrier with Yatira in his room: "Saenhein and Sostem are still different. In order to prevent disaster from happening again, Saenhe built a huge sewer system under the city blockage, but now it is full of monsters. People's actual range of activities is much smaller than on the surface, do you understand?"
Langdon chewed on a dry grass stem: "Can they trust their words? Is it said that the ancient emperor was resurrected by the Chaos Meteor, and the Dead King was furious because of the backward development of the empire, and he wanted to restart the crown prince screening tradition of the emperor's maze trial. And there are more than one emperor who was resurrected, which is too nonsense, right?"
"The territory of the Lion Empire is absolutely unable to accommodate so many kings. In this era, no one is short of waste from the bureaucratic class. If there is a struggle of royal power within the empire, I think it is not surprising that they will have a catastrophe without psychology."
Chen Yaogang said: "These things may not be groundless. We must consider repairing the teleportation channel after confirming the safety of the city block. In addition, we must find a way to meet the king. Even if Saenhein is now a city block with less than 20,000 people, we must contact the king."
"And we don't know what extent the power of the Pseudo-God Lord has penetrated. If we rashly believe in strangers in the city, our team may be hit. Kidman, after we settle in this hotel, you can start a war near the hotel. Remember not to run around."
Kidman and his businessmen responded: "Captain, we believe that your judgment is not a problem. We will help collect information. We will never act rashly until we confirm safety."
Jeffka of Heratim: "The Chaos Meteor can resurrect the dead, but to a large extent, it will not retain the personality and reason of the dead. Most of the dead who are resurrected by blasphemy are painful and crazy, or full of obsession. However, there is no serious phenomenon of meteor bombing in this area, and we rarely see even crystal fragments."
Langdon pointed to the building in the date palm garden: "Is it because of that tower? The tower of royal power belonging to Sarenhein, where the emperor's harem ladies and trusted ministers live. If the situation is true, I think that tower is an important factor in intercepting meteors."
"As long as you summon lightning, you can try to break the meteor, and I believe they will not be indifferent to disasters."
Daphne, who had just finished talking with the ambush team, said, "I have applied to them to meet with the king. There will be a reply before the evening. The situation in Saenhein is really even more chaotic than I thought! When I was walking in the alley, I was almost blocked and robbed by a few people. Everyone should be careful!"
Jeffka said: "Is it the people from the Assassin organization? Those people have always been sensitive to the power of magic. We were interrogated by them half a year ago when we passed by here. If we could get information from them, it would definitely be faster than if we investigated ourselves."
Chen Yaogang was not surprised by this: a large number of sand-dwelling beasts appeared in the wastelands and deserts, as well as leopard people who breed abnormally to attack the city blockage, and a large number of resurrected monsters (mostly the corpses of exiles) appeared in the sewers, which polluted important survival water sources and caused the entire city block to be shrouded in tension and panic.
Not to mention the ancient tombs that seal the demons, and the legend of the lost trials of the emperors. Thinking about the disguise of the pseudo-god lord and the spontaneous troubles of the people... The current situation of the Lion Empire can be described as messy and overwhelming. All accumulated contradictions and problems broke out together, and it is not easy to persevere without a destruction of the country.
Unfortunately, the biggest problem in the desert country is the difficulty of resource production. If it continues to be consumed like this, it will be a matter of time before the entire line collapses.
Chen Yaogang looked at Langdon: "Do you know the people from the Assassin Group? If the Assassin Brotherhood guys are easier to buy, we can spend some money to solve the problem."
Langdon shook his head: "It's very difficult. I have always known as the assassin of the Lion Empire, but assassins and thieves are obviously two different professions. The former is a tendency to sneak attacks and assassinations by any means, and is a dangerous madman who threatens the lives and safety of many people. However, the latter is centered on achieving the mission purpose, mostly seeking money rather than killing people."
"If there is no sufficient reason, or if we find a suitable connector agent, we probably haven't found them to chat, they will come and test us."
Chen Yaogang spent a lot of time to sort out the current situation of Sarenhein: "The situation is not very optimistic, but we don't need to take on any tasks. We must focus on pursuing believers of the Pseudo-God Lord and capturing Patty. If we decide to meddle in other people's business, we may spend a long time here."
