Chapter 4 Arrival

Groone's royal city, Eagle Falcon City, is not a city with a long history.

As everyone who has read history knows, the Kingdom of Groney is very different from the other six countries. This country has been founded less than a hundred years ago, and has only experienced four kings. It is still a distance from the adjective "long history". In fact, just a hundred years ago, this land now called the Kingdom of Groney still did not see any signs of unity. Only small city-states and countries are separating each other and fighting each other. The barbarians in the northern wastelands continued to invade (of course, the intensity was far less than that of now), and the strong neighbor of the southern region was eyeing it. Almost no one would have thought that this place could be unified into a kingdom.

But fate is so unpredictable. On this land, there is a young king of a small country - rather than a country - who accidentally met a person who changed everything. A man named Garunas, whose origin, origin, family, etc. is unknown. Even if there are, they are all unofficial historical legends that are scorned by orthodox historians. But he is called the "wild sage" by later generations. Today, there are many poems, legendary stories, dramas, dances, etc., similar plots appear - the wise monarch met a genius military advisor and formed a legendary epic. There is no doubt that these stories are based on this real historical event.

In the time of a generation, or in more detail, Garunas proved to the world what a genius is. With Garunas' incredible talent, this insignificant country rose rapidly and conquered and annexed all the forces on this land. Groni shattered the barbarians' repeated invasions to the north, and finally built the famous White Fort, which laid the northern territory of the seven central countries. To the south, Tiberi was beaten to the head and blood, causing Tiberi, who was originally eyeing, to completely give up its expansion ambitions.

The Eagle Falcon City was built when Groone was just founded. The reason why a new royal city was built was mainly because there was no suitable city on this land to serve as the capital of this new country. Finally, Garunas personally supervised the work, and today's Eagle Falcon City was built on the land on the banks of the Lunqing River. The reason why it is called this name is on the one hand because the white eagle on the Groone royal flag, and on the other hand because the overall shape of the city is very irregular. When looking down from a high place, it looks a bit like an eagle.

The design idea of ​​Garunas's city construction has nowhere to be investigated. No one understands why he built a city with a strange shape. According to today's general view, he undoubtedly referred to the construction techniques of elves and dwarves and made full use of the direction of the entire terrain. But everyone who knows about this city knows that in the hundreds of years since the city was built, the city of Hawks has developed rapidly, but has never been renovated and expanded. This is really incredible. Because of this, although some people still question Garunas's city construction ideas, even the most demanding critics admit that his design has some truth.

At this moment, Eagle Falcon City is already in sight.

From a distance, the city looks a bit dark and inconspicuous. However, this has nothing to do with the city's architectural level. The key lies in the stone of the building. Like most cities in the world, the building materials of the Eagle City were also dug from nearby, which is a kind of solid bluestone. Of course, there is no problem in building the city walls of this kind of stone, but the color is inconspicuous. In addition, the past century has passed, the bluestone has now turned into greystone.

Ashurufat looked ahead and repeatedly recalled the current situation of the city in his heart. A few years ago, White Fort fell under the attack of the barbarian army, and then the former king and the crown prince died in battle (even the bodies were not even recovered). Faced with this urgent situation, the noble ministers immediately supported the former king's only bloodline, a princess named Luvia ascended the throne and was regent by the minister. It was this disposal that temporarily stabilized the entire country. Then, relying on the support of reinforcements from the gods circle of the Star Domain, Groney successfully repelled the barbarian invasion.

In terms of national strength alone, although this failure is a big deal, it is far from a life-and-death crisis. But in politics, things are completely different. As people expected, the young queen had no ability to control the country at all, and the noble ministers immediately fell into fierce internal strife after the crisis was eliminated, causing chaos on the political stage of the entire country.

Of course, these have nothing to do with him. What Asu Rufate has to do is to act as a guard for the first year of the little queen, a personal guard, according to Aunt Mary's arrangement. Such a position is naturally a shrimp that cannot be as small as it is. No matter how the wind and clouds change, it will not change over his head. His position is to block the assassin - although Asu Rufate doubts that there will be assassins that can do this.

"We're here." A Jin also looked at the city ahead with thoughtful eyes.

The carriage quickly drove into a densely populated area. Like all the big cities in the world, the suburbs of Eagle Falcon City also have multiple satellite towns based on the main city, and several towns even built independent walls.

"Ashu Rufat, I'm going to get off the bus first." Ajin said suddenly.

"Ah, didn't the carriage send us directly into the Eagle Falcon City?" Ashu Rufat didn't expect Ajin to get off at this place.

"The first step in doing business is to understand the entire market. This is the basis of everything. You must do it yourself to get first-hand information. You must never entrust others." Ajin replied. "Don't look at the suburbs of the city. If you want to talk about population, most people do not live in the royal city, but live in the suburbs of the city. The suburbs of the city are very different from the city."

This is the first time that Ashu Rufate has heard such a remark. "What is the difference?"

"In the city, there are usually nobles, rich people...at least they are also the residence of the middle class. If this market is compared to farmland, it is a very fertile land. In the suburbs, although there are many people, they are actually mainly rich civilians, farmers, etc., and they are just barren land."

“According to logic, shouldn’t fertile land be invested more attention and energy?”

"The problem is that a large group of people have long been piled up on this fertile land. It is not easy to get a piece of the fertile land when you are just a newcomer. On the contrary, although the purchasing power of the suburbs is not high, it is a market that does not care much. As an outsider, you must do it within your means. The market in the city is not where I can touch it. It is a pragmatic attitude to use the suburbs as a starting point and stepping stone. Goodbye, Ashu Rufate."

After saying this, Ajin got out of the carriage and moved away from under the carriage seat to salute.

"Goodbye." said Ashu Rufate. At this time, the coachman showed half of his face from the small window. "Sir, don't you think you should check your luggage?"

"Ah, why?"

"When breaking up with a companion I met on a trip, it is necessary to check the greetings. Especially you have been together for a long time." The coachman kindly reminded.

Ash Rufate smiled. If a person like Ah Jin had the opportunity to cheat others, he would never let him go. If one day they met in the store, Ah Jin might sell him something worth only three silver coins for ten gold orlis. Ash Rufate had no doubt about this. But if he wanted to steal, it would be a personal insult to Ah Jin.

The carriage quickly drove into the gray city wall. After turning left and right, it came to the entrance of a considerable building.

"Sir, we're here." The coachman reminded.

Ashu Rufat jumped out of the carriage with his luggage. He looked up and saw the first row of neat stables. Many horses were eating grass and drinking water in the stables, and from time to time he could hear a neighing sound.

"Sir, if you don't have a place to stay, what about it here? We not only provide mail service, but also accommodation service, and..."

"No, thank you." Ash Rufate replied. This choice is entirely due to Ajin's infusion of ideas during this period - any shop that you encounter when you get off the bus is guaranteed to be the darkest. Because they are the first choice for passengers, they are choices without any other comparisons. In this case, people will make this choice, so they will be slaughtered very hard.

"Sir, we not only have food and accommodation, but also have various services..." The other party was still unwilling to give up.

Ashu Rufate shook his hand and signaled that the other party would not need to say anything. He stood there and began to look at the surrounding environment. When he was outside the city, he could only see a gray giant, but if he stood inside the city, he would feel that the city was well built, with a staggered and compact feeling, but would not give people a feeling of crowding. No matter what the appearance of the city looks like, at least his interior is very good. And Ashu Rufate could feel that if the population in the city further increases one day, more buildings need to be built, and there is no need to expand outward. There is still a certain amount of room for expansion within the city - if the old house can be demolished, there will be more.

Ashu Rufate looked around and was sure that he had been here for the first time. Not to mention anything else, when he was outside the city, he had no impression of the huge gray wall. Now that he entered the city, he was sure that it was the first time he had seen the entire city pattern or the overall architectural style.

Have you finally arrived? Ashu Rufat made great strides and left the post bus station. This is his first time taking the post bus, and he thinks this way of travel is also good. However, Ashu Rufat chose the post bus not because this method is convenient and cost-effective, but because Aunt Mary repeatedly emphasized that he kept a low profile before leaving. Eagle Falcon City is not a peaceful place like Brassian. A fat sheep will definitely attract the covetment of hungry wolves. Even if you are not a fat sheep or a fat lion, then there will still be blood-sucking mosquitoes to patronize you.
