However, just because you can't take people with you publicly doesn't mean you can't take them with you privately.

Especially for lords with changeable means, such restrictions are not without loopholes.

For example, use recruitment scrolls, or high-end storage props with independent spaces that can directly store living creatures.

Zong Shen’s [Pascal Contract’s Big Pocket (Gold)] counts as one piece.

And Zongze happened to have such a high-end storage item.

He had tried it before, and he could still use the teleportation array after loading it with living creatures.

So he planned to pack about a squadron of men into it.

Many times, manpower is more valuable than quality.

After all, this trip to the Imperial City was not just for a fight.

If we really go to the Imperial City to fight, let alone a squadron, it will be useless even if we bring a thousand squadrons. The strength of the Imperial City is one or two levels higher than the common giant city level.

So Zongze just planned to bring some auxiliary subordinates.

There are also heroes with unique talents.

For example, there is a hero-level talent under his command who comes from the underworld.

There is a unique talent called [Black Street Call].

This talent gives him extra charisma when he's on the underworld.

The so-called black streets are slums.

Almost all giant cities and state cities will have black streets to some extent.

The poor people in the black streets were scornfully called "rats" by the nobles.

They often stick together to form gangs or similar associations.

In many cities, underworld forces often have unexpected influence.

This is especially true in terms of intelligence collection.

The eyes and ears of the black street rats are basically all over the city.

Because of this, most giant cities appear to be hierarchical.

Stratification can not only significantly enhance the city's garrison standards, but also effectively block the penetration of black street rats into the inner circle.

Even when some states are holding meetings.

Underworld projects will also be invited to participate in the discussion.

Of course, this kind of situation is relatively rare in giant cities.

But no matter what, if the underworld forces are used properly, they can also play a big role.

There were only two imperial cities in Rhodok.

The destination of Zongze's trip was the contemporary royal capital, the imperial city named after the country's name, Rodok, that is, Rodok Imperial City.

It is very large and is also an ancient imperial city.

But no matter how old a city is, there are still dark streets.

It's just a difference of more or less.

Originally, he wanted to bring a few harem girls with him.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

This trip to Rhodok Imperial City was originally just to pick up girls.

Bringing in a harem group will only increase additional risks, which will do a lot of harm but no good.

Shaking his head, Zongze thought for a while and finalized a list.

After ordering the call, he saw the message from his elder brother Zong Shen.

Quickly scanning the information that was like a short composition, Zongze suddenly had a look of astonishment on his face.

"I see!"

"From an aloof magical girl to a victim of family marriage."

"And it seems that her talent and pride were completely crushed by her younger brother."

"My brother's aura of five-series spellcasting talent eclipses her."

"And her marriage to Gray Foss was somewhat forced."

…

"Do you like people with high magic talent?"

"Then I should have a good chance..."

Zongze reviewed the information provided by his brother in his mind.

He had no doubts about the authenticity of this information.

After all, he is a blood-blooded brother, so there is no reason why he should cheat him on such a matter.

He has received the inheritance of the Arcane Spirit and has a powerful [Arcane Heart].

Zongze's spellcasting talent in the arcane department is basically at the ceiling level.

Improving your strength is as simple and satisfying as eating and drinking.

At the same time, he also has his own unique insights into the understanding of elemental magic.

Because the arcane department is originally a snake oil department.

Most arcane magic can be integrated into the power of the elemental system.

Therefore, when discussing spellcasting issues in the elemental system, Zongze is still very confident in himself.

"Huh?"

"[Aegwynn's Book of All Laws]?"

"Part of the spell set left behind by the second magical guardian...?"

"And this Aegwin is also Queen Svetlana's idol..."

Zongze was moved in his heart, but he also knew that this Book of Ten Thousand Methods must be a very precious prop.

This made him hesitate.

If after borrowing it, it is accidentally lost or stolen by an aboriginal boss, then the problem becomes troublesome.

He didn't want to trouble his brother.

I will only seek help if it is out of the way.

But the guaranteed reward for this mission comes with a huge city.

If we can further gain the favor of Queen Svetlana, we should be able to gain more.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to borrow this Book of Ten Thousand Methods from his elder brother Zong Shen.

Normally it is stored in the storage compartment.

He will never take it out unless necessary.

You must know that the lord's storage compartment is a super safe for the aborigines.

Can't spy, can't steal, can't plunder.

The only person who can inherit the lord's inheritance is another lord.

So he hesitated for a long time and still replied shamelessly:

"Brother, I want~"

…

Kingdom of Nord, giant city of Talidaban.

This was once the largest city in the Kingdom of Nord, second only to the Imperial City.

At this time it was the centerpiece of the Trivosin family.

And the Trivasin family was completely in the hands of Queen Zandina.

At this time, there were a large number of high-level mercenary groups wandering in this giant city.

They were all recruited by Queen Sandina many years in advance.

Now she has become the guardian of flowers around her, or an army of confidants.

There is no castle in the center of the giant city of Talidaban, only a palace that looks quite majestic.

This palace is built very high and is connected by long staircases.

Fragrant flowers are planted everywhere.
