Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1248 - 682: Komeer’s Pearl_3
Chapter 1248: Chapter 682: Komeer’s Pearl_3
It is an undeniable port trade city, where due to King Yasan’s vigorous and wise governance, the Thief Guild, smuggling syndicates, and Gang Organizations are nearly extinct in this city—one of the safest cities in Felen and the best place for legal trades in the Sea of Fallen Stars. It is one of the favorite cities for pirates to invest in, because their money is safe and secure here. Many retired pirates like to settle down here to spend their later years; their former arch-enemies, the pirates, dare not easily pursue them here. The former adversaries (Komeer Royal Navy) have become their best protectors, an immense irony indeed.
Both King Yasan and the War Mages are aware of this matter and keep a close watch on these retired pirates. As long as they don’t return to their old ways or violate Komeer Kingdom’s laws, they will not be easily targeted.
Because the pirates who live to retire are generally very successful, having accumulated a great deal of wealth during their pirating careers. When they settle in Susar, they naturally bring their wealth here, indirectly contributing to the prosperity of the city.
It is precisely Susar’s fair and strict stance that has led to the emergence of the city of sin across Dragon Lake at the West Gate, where all the transactions and crimes that are unwelcome in this country have fled, creating a form of twisted prosperity.
Although Susar is populous, it does not feel unbearably crowded. Even Waterdeep City, known as the largest city in Felen, would be ashamed of its streets and environment. Of course, the credit goes to the War Mages.
The state-controlled Mage Guild ensures that this royal city’s use of magic is unimaginably advanced. Here, both the main streets and the alleys are paved with stone, and many street lamps are not ordinary torches, but rows and rows of Everbright Flame lamps.
The city also has a dedicated garbage transport team, which collects and takes out all the city’s rubbish before dawn every day.
There’s a relatively well-established supervision system here, with security personnel patrolling the streets and alleys every day. If anyone is caught violating laws, urinating or defecating in public, or even littering, they will face severe punishment. To many outsiders, this is incredibly unbelievable, but to the people of Susar, it has become the norm and a symbol of civilization, setting them apart from people in other cities.
When it comes to the highlights of Susar, the Purple Dragon Palace is the most renowned.
After a thousand years of expansion, the Purple Dragon Palace has become the largest palace in Felen, bar none.
This is no longer just a single palace but a complex of palaces that even contains a huge royal garden within the city. Surrounding the Purple Dragon Palace are tall and narrow fortresses and mansions, the royal residences of Komeer Kingdom’s Court Ministers and Nobles.
They occupy the entire northern district of the city, hence known as the Royal Court District or Nobles’ District, separated from other areas by its walls and guarded by many troops, inaccessible to common folk.
The Obysque Royal Family is known for its justice and strictness but not for being approachable to the common people. Even King Yasan, who’s relatively more amiable, only occasionally disguises himself to mingle with the people or enjoy time in other cities and towns. He does not open the Purple Dragon Palace to the public.
Doing so would only deepen the divide and lead to unnecessary trouble.
The wealth here is so great that even Giant Dragons covet it, its splendor envied by All Gods, not to mention Mortals. After seeing it, it’s hard for them not to feel envious, hard to keep their hands to themselves, not to steal the items here, even the tableware, for them is worth a fortune. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Although there is an element of exaggeration in this, it also fully reflects the extraordinary nature of the Purple Dragon Palace and its significance to the common people.
No sooner had Gaven and his company left Luji Town and headed towards Susar than the Nobles of Komeer Kingdom gathered in the Royal Court Conference Hall, buzzing with heated debate.
"The Conqueror Gaven, with tens of thousands of ordinary Thacel citizens, set off from Darama, clearing Paths and building cities, obliterating Monster Forces. He is truly invincible in battle, triumphant in every campaign. Having reached the Goblin Margins, the settlers not only did not reduce in number, but instead nearly tripled. This great achievement, I fear no one present would dare to boast they could accomplish such a feat.
His rise is unstoppable, and we should not obstruct but rather go with the flow. Not only should we allow him passage through the Rocklands, it would be best to bestow it upon him, using his military power to thoroughly govern the entire Rocklands.
It can be said that it’s the perfect solution. In the future, we will not need to deploy too much military force here, eliminating a great threat. What we need to pay in this process is just a piece of commendation. There’s probably no more profitable deal in the world."
The speaker, named Makser, is the chairman of the Susar Mage Council, a Mage association independent of the War Mage system, primarily responsible for managing those Mages who come from outside or who choose not to join the War Mages.
He has a nickname, Guardian of Susar, as he once, by his own strength, obliterated four Giant Dragons attacking Susar, hence his name. It is said that his power is second only to the Court Archmage Feng Geda Hast and that he too is a senior Legendary Mage.
However, his involvement in the affairs of Komeer Kingdom, like the distinction between the Mage Council and the War Mages, is there but not too active. Many matters cannot rely heavily on him.
It is precisely because of his detached attitude that he becomes an outlier in the Royal Court Conference Hall. His remarks seldom resonate with many, and instead, become a counterexample of opposing views. That’s because his starting point is often from the perspective that is most beneficial to Komeer Kingdom, not considering the interests of the Nobles, not to mention the Obysque Royal Family.
Even though his suggestions are rarely adopted, he remains undeterred, and this time is no exception. As soon as the proposal was put forth, it was immediately met with collective opposition.
