Chapter 609 -413: Arriving at the Royal City

The next day.

Early in the morning, Chen Lun got up and washed up. He then had Golov check out of the hotel room, and soon after, he left Bright Town with his cadre.

The group rented a large carriage again and set off for the Royal City of Bixie Crost.

The journey was dull and monotonous, but Alec volunteered to be the entertainer, vigorously singing ballads and taking turns playing the accordion, harmonica, and flute. Antonio couldn’t help but sing along with the tunes, humming and chirping. Alec was clearly straining, rolling his eyes continuously, which made everyone laugh heartily.

As evening approached,

Maggie looked through the carriage window and saw the grand and majestic high walls of the Royal City from afar.

“We’ve arrived! We’re at the Royal City!”

She exclaimed excitedly.

The other cadres also showed curious and expectant expressions, peering forward through the lifted curtain. Despite living in the Tresor Empire for so many years and knowing of such a heartland city, they had never visited.

Now, they had finally arrived at the empire’s core city, Bixie Crost.

In everyone’s view, the high walls stood on a huge mountain range, ivory-white and tall, even emanating a sacred golden light in the glow of the setting sun.

Symmetrical spires were built atop the high walls, with each tower holding a fluttering gold banner against the wind, making a loud snapping sound. The banners bore the image of a large Sun face, solemn and majestic—the emblem of the Sun Royal Family.

The layout of the Royal City was divided into three layers: Central District, Upper City District, and Lower District. Each area was established according to the mountain’s height, with the most central and important Central District located at the summit.

Thus, the Royal City that the people saw was actually like a mountain filled with buildings of various colors.

The carriage drove along the main road, quickly arriving at a huge plaza at the “foot of the mountain” with a profoundly symbolic name, Dawn Plaza, meaning the place shone upon by the rising sun—the first checkpoint before entering the Royal City, which was convenient for residents to gather and for travelers and carriages to make brief stops when entering and leaving the city.

Golov, driving the carriage, passed through the throng of people to the deep end of the plaza and came to some steps. The spacious and massive white marble road stretched upward to a giant archway at the end.

On either side of the stairs at the bottom were huge fortress walls, making the stairs seem like a canyon crack between two mountains. Statues of heroes who had made outstanding contributions to the Tresor Empire stood in the middle of the stairs, lined up straight, seemingly no less than fifty in number.

Teams of Empire Guardians, dressed in bright armor and shining greaves, carrying long spears and large shields, patrolled up and down the stairs. Their capes bore the Sun face pattern, and their fully enclosed helmets were topped with long golden feathers that fluttered in the wind, a sight of great valor.

Clank, clank…

The dense sound of greaves stepping on stone steps resonated heavily.

Chen Lun peered at these guardians through the carriage window and nodded to himself. Although they were not Transcendents, they had either taken the Supernatural Elixir or received some kind of mysterious blessing, which gave them physical abilities beyond those of ordinary people.

With daily training, this group of armored guards holding sharp weapons had the strength to take on ten men each.

Do not be fooled by their use of melee weapons; each guardian also carried two flintlock guns, and any who underestimated them would meet a miserable end.

In his past life, Chen Lun had seen his fair share of foolhardy players who got turned into sieves by random gunfire.

After being checked by the Dawn Plaza’s Empire Guardians and the registration staff, the carriage Chen Lun was in smoothly passed the inspection, ascending straight up the carriage path of the stairs, passing through the archway, and successfully entering the interior of Bixie Crost.

“Is this the Lower District of the Royal City?”

Maggie asked curiously as she sized up the scenery outside the window.

“It feels so bustling here… Oh, that carriage is so strange, it can move even without horses!”

The group looked where she pointed and saw a convertible retro steam car passing by on the street, with the driver handling a curved steering wheel at the front, while a middle-class couple sat in the sofa seat at the back.

At the tail of the car were two horn-shaped exhaust pipes; dense white steam burst from the rear as the machine and gears at the bottom operated.

“I… I think I’ve seen it in a magazine,” Connie suddenly spoke up. “That should be a ‘steam car,’ developed by a company in the Royal City a couple of years ago, and it was even displayed at the Empire’s Expo. It doesn’t need horses, it just requires coal to run… but I heard it’s very expensive.”

The others looked at her in surprise, making her feel somewhat embarrassed.

Chen Lun smiled quietly, appreciating the scenery outside the window… Steam cars, rail trains, vending machines, street theater, and vendors riding bicycles. All these were cityscapes quite different from other regions, revealed right before their eyes.

A sense of nostalgia flashed in his eyes as Chen Lun recalled his first visit to the Royal City in his previous life, filled with astonishment not just at the high level of technological development here, but also at many kinds of black tech products that didn’t even exist in real life.

The residents here came from various places, but mostly lived comfortably. Even the ordinary people in the Lower District enjoyed a good life. Most importantly, the safety of this place was close to perfect, with an astonishingly low crime rate.

However, this was also to be expected, as not only the Sun Royal Family but also the headquarters of the Shelter and the branches of the Seven Righteous God Churches were all concentrated here. Aside from some “oblivious and ignorant” ordinary criminals, no Transcendent with a sane mind would dare to cause trouble here.
