No matter what, whoever can control the first circle will control most of the huge city.

This may be an exaggeration, but it is actually true.

In this place that looks like a fairy tale town, who would have thought that it is the core of the giant city?

This situation made Zong Shen couldn't help but think of the four words "return to nature".

Unexpectedly, the closer you get to the core of the giant city, the farther away you will be from the busyness and noise.

Standing on the edge of the tower on the first circle, if you look towards the center, you can see the towering castle in the distance, as well as the defense matrix surrounding the core area.

Twelve four-corner towers with a height of 100 meters form the nodes, connecting the last tower and surrounding the castle.

The towers in the core area finally broke the law that the walls get taller toward the center.

There are large open spaces and gardens around the castle, which alone occupies a large area of ​​land.

Withdrawing his gaze, Zong Shen led Xiao Heizi forward along the street.

Near the city tower, there is a blank strip of about two to three hundred meters.

That area will be blocked by the tower during part of the day, so there is not enough lighting.

Therefore, it was converted into an auxiliary barracks and sentry point for the first circle.

It can be regarded as a supplementary part of the defense node.

Zong Shen was not in a hurry to look for Count Les Kazan's manor at this time.

He was going to take a walk around the first circle.

There are many manors and small castle-like mansions in this circle.

But there are also commercial streets.

But the specifications are relatively high-end.

For example, high-end clothing stores, dessert shops, bakeries, pubs, restaurants, etc.

There is no smoke and fire here, and there are very noisy blacksmith shops and tailor shops.

There are no workshops, just shops that sell finished products directly.

Pedestrians walking on the street are all dressed in exquisite brocade clothes and have shiny hairstyles.

There are also ladies and girls wearing whalebone-lined and lace skirts.

The accompanying servants followed closely behind.

Even the carriages passing by on the road are more exquisite, many of them are decorated with fine gold and mithril.

There are even runes shining on the surface.

One of these carriages blessed with magic runes is worth dozens or hundreds of ordinary carriages.

Although there is no science and technology in Endless Continent, runes can achieve similar effects.

For example, making the interior of the carriage warm in winter and cool in summer.

In addition, it can enhance defense capabilities and increase movement speed.

All of the above are applications and changes brought about by magic energy and rune technology.

In the first circle, which is like a garden, you can also see towers rising from the ground.

However, these towers have all been beautified in appearance, or painted with exquisite oil paint patterns, or planted with ivy.

What stands out is a green circle.

What makes Zong Shen most satisfied is that there is no feces on the ground here.

This is rare in Aboriginal cities.

It seems that the nobles are not fools, and they still understand the importance of having a beautiful environment within their living area.

“Wow, it’s nice here!”

"It's just too dry."

Xiao Heizi said in amazement.

It's not too shocking, because the black dragon prefers slimy mire.

But although it is an out-and-out pure-blood true dragon, it is a true dragon with little knowledge.

Like Zong Shen, it was the first time he came back to the giant city.

The two masters and servants felt a bit like mountain people entering the city for the first time.

After walking along this street for a long time, they saw at least five or six groups of garrison patrols passing by.

The sense of security is simply overwhelming.

This is also a patrol density that can never be achieved in outer urban areas.

Because there are not that many manpower.

After all, the second and third circles are really too big. To achieve high-frequency patrols, at least millions of manpower must be deployed.

These are also words of experience.

Zong Shen was not prepared to increase the urban population of his territory to such a large scale.

The lord had to deal with crises at any time, so the fighting population of his territory would never be too small.

At least it will reach a 50-50 ratio, that is, 1:1 between fighting and working population.

This ratio is actually very uneven for a city.

But there is no way, the lord is so unscientific.

After walking around for a while, Zong Shen lost interest.

He simply activated the strategy module and directly targeted the location of Earl Rice's manor.

In case the guy wasn't at home, he also specifically mapped out the count's immediate location.

I have to say that Zong Shen was lucky, the count happened to be in the manor.

This makes it easier for Mr. Zong and Xiao Heizi to do it all at once.

…

"Ah sneeze!"

Lying on the luxurious bed, Earl Rice sneezed.

The butler who was waiting beside him immediately handed over a handkerchief.

At this moment he was eating breakfast while leaning on the bed.

On the huge bed, his friends were lying around.

The maid brought breakfast and slowly fed it to him.

Whenever Count Les took a bite of bread, the young maid would spread some yogurt or jam on the bread, and then put it on for the Count to enjoy.

"Today's bacon was too cooked."

"Tell the kitchen that if you don't do it well next time, prepare to appear at the slave auction!"

Count Les took a sip of the sweet and sour jam and complained to the butler dissatisfied.

The butler, whose temples were slightly gray, bowed slightly. His expression was calm and he hid the disgust in his eyes very well.

After breakfast, the housekeeper went downstairs to get the freshly extracted [Dragon Root Potion].

This stuff is extracted from a special herb called [Dragon Root Grass].

After taking it, you can become energetic and make up for the shortfall caused by long days of hard work.

This is also a necessary potion for most nobles in the city.

Each bottle sells for thousands of dinars.

After taking the potion, Count Rice put on a silk pajamas feeling refreshed.

He patted them, and the female companions went downstairs feebly to eat and play with him later.

And Earl Rice was going to take a swim in the small lake in the manor.

In this season and temperature, swimming after breakfast is not very pleasant.
