Vol 2 Chapter 500: City of 0 million people

Floren.
Florence is clearly not the largest and largest city in the world. The biggest, but an exaggerated statement from the villagers of Arubak village. But I have to admit that even if Floren City is not the largest city in the world, it is also an extremely prosperous and huge city on the entire east coast, and it can rank in the top five among all cities on the entire east coast.
The reason for this is that you have to talk about Floren and the surroundings.
Floren is located in the middle of the Moor Plains. The largest river on the east coast, the Moor River, passes outside the city. The abundant water flow of the river brings extremely developed transportation, which makes Floren more attractive to businessmen from all sides than some coastal ports, so Floren has become the most famous city of the Moorish Union.
But Floren is not the capital of the Moorish Union.
This is because the Moorish Union is not the same as the ordinary state. It is a loose city-state union, similar to the Greek Federation in the history of the earth-each city in the domain is nominally affiliated with the same system, and is attacked by foreign countries. At the time, they will unite and resist together. Normally, it is a high degree of autonomy and does not control each other. It is up to you to develop good or bad.
This kind of polity cannot be said to be bad, but in the face of many feudal-ruled countries around it, it obviously has a great disadvantage. After all, there is no strong core of ruling. Even if it can be united when it is invaded, it is difficult to win.
This kind of government has been maintained and did not die under the attack of neighboring countries, because many wizarding forces continue to fight and temporarily achieve a peaceful result. That is to say, it was caused by the wizarding forces.
Hundreds of large and small cities in the Moorish Union, along the Moore River, are distributed in a long and narrow strip of territory, and there are four wizarding forces no less than the White Rock Towers around it: Baiwu City in the northwest and the Northeast Rose City, the dark blue castle in the southeast and the tree mushroom forest in the southwest.
In addition, the city of White Mist has a good relationship with the wizarding forces located further north-the rotten swamp, the rose city has a good relationship with the wizarding forces located north of it-Heiburg, and the jungle hut and another wizarding force near it-the tree Mushroom forests come from the same source, Deep Blue Castle has its own strength, and has recently communicated frequently with the Death Valley in the south.
It can be said that the Moorish Union and Floren are the places where the eight wizarding forces meet, and they are the center of the wizarding forces on the East Coast.
Every sorcerer's power has moved their minds and wants to include Floren and the entire Moorish Union, but without exception, they are strongly targeted by the other sorcerer's forces, and finally reached a weird balance-every sorcerer's power No longer worry about Floren, but as a place to communicate with other wizarding forces.
People with various purposes gather here. Ordinary people who do nothing, merchants holding fortune dreams, adventurous adventurers, young people pursuing powerful forces, insidious and deceitful villains, hypocritical and cautious nobles, living together with wizard apprentices and wizards, forming a unique Floren.
After leaving the village of Arubak, Richard spent three days and came here.
Floren, outside the city.
Richard stood, staring at the huge city in front of him.
From the defense alone, you can see the magnificent momentum of Floren.
The walls of Floren are made of large blocks of bluestone. The bluestone and the bluestone are bonded with clay and lime without any gaps, and they look natural. In order to ensure firmness, the entire city wall is thick at the bottom, narrow at the top, and trapezoidal. The narrowest part of the top is nearly five meters thick, which is extremely difficult to destroy.
The normal ring of spells fell down with all its strength, and it was impossible to break through the city walls. The ordinary army wanted to use a catapult or the like to break the gap, which is more like going to the sky.
The entire city wall is like a man-made sky, nearly 15 meters in height, blocking most people. Except for formal wizards who can leap, the rest, including wizard apprentices, either walk the city gate obediently, or try their own way. .
In addition, there are a large number of patrolling soldiers on the city walls and at the gates. They are well-equipped with long-range longbows and crossbows. Some elite archers have even mana fluctuations on the arrows, which are specially used to deal with more difficult. The target is a cheap spell prop. It may not be possible to fight against a formal wizard, but some figures like the bosses of the thieves dare to be brave and teach them to live in minutes.
Richard did not want to find something, followed the flow of people, and walked into the city of Florence through the gate guarded by the soldiers.
It can be seen that in the city of Floren, because it was built on a plain, there are no roads like Baishi City-here, the road goes straight.
Three or six wide main roads divide the entire city into sixteen standard areas, each of which is divided into different places. There are trade streets with dense shops and quiet residential streets. sequence.
Walking on the road, Richard found that the most common types of bakeries here are.
This is understandable. After all, the entire population of Floren may be estimated to be hundreds of thousands, even close to one million. So many people are like a gluttonous beast, consuming a lot of food every day.
In addition to the bakery, it is a variety of public facilities such as public baths, theaters, arenas, statues, squares, pools, etc.-because of the huge size of Floren, any kind of thing, in order to meet the needs of most people, there are Amazing amount.
Benefiting from this, everyone in the city of Florence enjoys a good standard of living~EbookFREE.me~ Even beggars who beg are not as weak as other places, but instead have eyesight and walking with wind.
Seeing a well-dressed person, the beggar quickly stopped, begging with skill: "This gentleman, sir, pitiful, give a few coppers, and enjoy bread."
Sir, you are really a good person, thank you for your copper But... Can you give me some more? I see that you have copper coins in your purse. Just give me some minced meat. Also, I can't stand being thirsty, and I really want to drink a bowl of soup.
Thank you very much, you are a great person. However, after eating and drinking, it's going to be dark. I'm homeless. Give me some money and let me find a place to spend the night. But my clothes are so broken, the hotel will not let me in, or you will continue to show kindness, and then let me buy a piece of clothing... Hey, sir, don’t go, don’t go..."
Richard looked at the beggars begging loudly on the side of the road, his face funny, shook his head and moved on. His clothes were dark, without any splendid decoration, and he didn't look like a rich man, but he wasn't entangled. He walked past half a florence smoothly, and he already had a general impression of the city in his heart.
In front of a fountain in a square, Richard stopped slowly and muttered: "Florence... Hey, Florence!" ()
