The steam engine was running violently day and night. If it weren't for the silence ritual, the constant noise alone would drive nearly half of the citizens of the imperial capital crazy.

However, with the blessing of various rituals, the imperial capital maintains a spring-like climate all year round, which is very pleasant.

A cool breeze blows in the face. The plains outside the city are very fertile, and a large amount of farmland has been opened up. The agriculture here has implemented a contract system. Almost the entire farmland is the property of an agricultural company. The entire imperial capital relies heavily on domestic production for food and accommodation.

Unlike the city of Lanzas, which mainly comes from imports.

Autumn happened to be the harvest season, and a patch of vegetation that turned from green to yellow covered the entire plain. Farther away, there was a city that almost looked like the steel jungle where Lynard lived in his previous life.

The imperial capital of the Kingdom of Kwied is very consistent with its name, the City of Iron.

As the name suggests, a city made of steel.

Huge steam engines liberated the labor force, and even ordinary people could master powers comparable to those of awakened people, not to mention all kinds of weird rituals built inside these steam engines.

The city's productivity has exceeded Lynard's knowledge and is extremely strong, far more advanced than Lanzas City, which has a natural port but lacks development potential.

High-rise buildings made of a large number of cement and steel bars are lined up in rows, making it extremely prosperous.

People from all over the kingdom gathered here, bringing with them the most outstanding treasures in the world.

The car stopped on the side of the road. Within a few minutes, we saw that there were almost no carriages on the road, and instead they were all types of cars.

The people coming and going are also quite wealthy and well-dressed. Everyone has newspapers and drinks in their hands and is studying the most advanced thing - stocks.

In the imperial capital, there is the only financial trading market in the Kingdom of Kwied, where stocks of outstanding companies from all over the kingdom can be purchased.

People like this, and newspapers are reporting news about ups and downs every day.

The influence of the church is not as great as elsewhere, but has been greatly weakened.

Lynard noticed that only one-half of the people on the streets chose to wear religious symbols. Although this was also an extremely terrifying ratio, it was far less compared to the city of Lanzas where everyone was a believer.

Then it's normal.

As the capital of a country, Iron City houses a wide variety of forces.

Before Linard came, he learned about the various guilds here through his conversation with Anna and his knowledge of books.

For example, the Adventurer's Guild only exists in novels. This kind of guild that sounds like a joke actually exists in real life.

Its rise stems from the development of the navigation industry in recent years. A large number of navigators take pride in exploring new continents and discovering new things. Therefore, the profession of adventurer emerged as the times require.

Although it sounds like a legendary warrior, the true career scope of adventurers is to explore new continents and explore intelligence. Of course, these are very high-end tasks, and a large number of adventurers are just awakened ones with low strength.

Then, a suitable task for them is probably to kill strange creatures in the wild.

Eradicate the out-of-control awakened ones in a certain place, or help the publisher complete some private tasks that cannot be disclosed.

As the headquarters of Shengtian Sect and Quanli Sect, these two churches are located at the easternmost and westernmost ends of the city respectively.

The place close to the "dirty grassland" is where the Holy See of Quanli Sect is located.

At the entrance to the city, the best location is firmly occupied by the Shengtian Sect.

Even though they are still several miles away from the city, Linnard and others can already see the group of buildings with strong religious style that stretch past.

Each building has a spire and dome, painted with golden paint, which is extremely dazzling in the sun, shining like holy light.

The design of the entire city is also much more reasonable than that of Lanzas City.

Each block has a clear distribution and is separated by long streets. This is the prototype of a modern city. Flower beds and green plants are planted on the streets.

Drainage channels can be seen at regular intervals, which means that the entire imperial city has a good sewer system. There is absolutely no need to worry about heavy rains or floods.

Even the city hall has built statues and fountains of various sizes, as well as numerous landmark buildings of various types.

Every statue has its origin.

A large number of statues stand beside the church. As the core development area of ​​the entire kingdom's church, there are far more churches here than in the city of Lanzas.

There are hundreds of churches, large and small, and one or two churches are opened on every block.

Citizens regularly hold activities in churches and divide streets according to their beliefs.

For example, the people who believe in Shengtian Cult are absolutely dominant in the East and South districts, while the West and North districts are the territory of the Lord of Truth.

At the border of each zone, there is a buffer zone.

Due to the frequent security incidents here, the two major churches were ordered to restrain themselves and were placed in a no-nonsense zone, becoming a parasitic place for those dark forces.

A large number of gangs and entertainment venues have opened in these gaps, making it a famous entertainment district.

In the southernmost part of the imperial capital, another seaside town was built.

This is the channel for the imperial capital's foreign import and export. A large number of new gadgets from all over the world arrive in the town every day, and are then transported to the city on buses, triggering a burst of looting.

"Please send me to No. 176, West District, thank you."

Anna stroked the ends of her hair and said to No. 3.

"Well, I forgot that you don't know the road. Let me show you the way and you just follow."

At this moment, she didn't have the ruthlessness that attacked Linnard at night at all. She looked like a reserved noble lady.

"Priest Russell, thank you very much for giving me a ride. In return, how about you come with me to visit the Quanli Church?"

She gently invited Linnard, her tone was very sincere.

"No, that's not necessary, Ms. Anna. Our people have already booked the room, so it's not convenient for us to come and disturb you. When I have time, I will go to see the Pope of your religion. Please wait for me to convey my respects first."

He declined Anna's invitation and had no intention of contacting the Quanli Sect at this time.

The specific meeting will naturally not be now.

Otherwise, the outside world will think that the Chaos Religion and the Quan Li Religion have reached some private agreement, which will not be of any benefit to Linard and will only increase the momentum of the Quan Li Religion.

Of course he wouldn't agree.

When Anna saw his resolute attitude, she knew that the other party had seen her intentions and did not force him.

"Okay, that's it. Thank you, Mr. Russell, you are a gentleman."

Anna, who was wearing a dress and had wavy blond hair, got out of the car, said goodbye to Lynard, and then disappeared from his sight.

"Drive to the Unicorn Hotel that you have booked."
