Chapter 134: Chapter 133: Guessing Almost Right (Please subscribe! Seeking monthly tickets!)

Mitra Kingdom, the Royal Capital.

This is the most prosperous city within the Mitra Kingdom and also the capital of the Kingdom, as well as the headquarters of the adventurer’s guild.

A thousand years ago, the hero who defeated the Demon King established this nation here and, after the war, introduced the concept of adventurers, prompting the emergence of adventurers and the establishment of the adventurer’s guild.

Therefore, this place is known as the Land of Brave and also as the birthplace of adventurers, thus attracting people from all over the world and forming various highly sought-after industries.

Especially in recent years, due to the kingdom hiring a holder of a unique skill that can rapidly grow any plant as a Court Advisor, with the help of that advisor, the Royal Palace obtained many precious magic potion materials, leading to an extremely rapid development of the magic potion industry. This has made the country subtly possess the demeanor of a great magic potion nation, and as the capital of the Kingdom, the magic potion industry here is more developed and prosperous than in any other country in the world.

Therefore, almost every day, adventurers and merchant caravans from all over the world come and go through the city, and the eight city gates set up here are always bursting with crowds of people, looking quite lively.

...

Today, the city gates of the Royal Capital were still overflowing with people, forming long queues with some preparing to leave the city, others ready to pay the entrance fee to enter.

In such circumstances, Shane and his companions finally arrived here, travel-weary.

“We’re finally here…”

Looking at the bustling city ahead on the roadway, Beren, who was leading the group, took a deep breath.

The others did the same, all revealing expressions of joy.

“The Royal Capital…”

Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica looked up at it with admiration.

“I’m back…”

Vivian looked at the city gate with a nostalgic gaze.

Shane also gazed towards the direction of the Royal Capital, his eyes flickering.

“So this is the Royal Capital?”

After nearly half a month’s journey, Shane and the others had finally arrived here, in the heart of the Mitra Kingdom.

Knowing this was a city built by a hero a thousand years ago, Shane was also full of anticipation beforehand, hoping to get a good look.

As a result, the Royal Capital did not disappoint Shane.

With skills such as [“Identification”] and [“Magic Perception”], Shane could clearly sense that the Royal Capital was indeed different from Lamijion.

“The adventurers entering and leaving the Royal Capital are almost all above Level 30.”

“The gatekeepers guarding the gates are actually genuine knights, not ordinary soldiers, and their levels are also above thirty.”

“Even those patrolling the walls are knights above Level 30, much stronger compared to ordinary soldiers.”

And this was just what could be seen on the surface.

Beyond what was visible on the surface, there were many extraordinary things in the Royal Capital as well.

For example, Shane noticed that there seemed to be layers of barriers around the walls of the Royal Capital, and magic weapons like magic cannons were installed on the walls. Furthermore, surges of extremely potent magic power were moving within the city, informing Shane just how many masters were inside.

“Scared, huh?” Vivian seemed to perceive the amazed look on Shane’s face and chuckled, saying, “Don’t be surprised. This is the capital of the Mitra Kingdom, the home of heroes. Even the headquarters of the adventurer’s guild is located here. The entire kingdom and even the whole world’s strong ones may appear here. Plus, with the members of the Guard Knight Order around, there are plenty of masters higher in level than me everywhere.”

“Guard Knight Order?” Shane looked towards Vivian and asked, “What is that?”

Answering this question wasn’t Vivian but Tielle.

“That is the strongest knight order within the Mitra Kingdom, directly belonging to the Royal Family and answering only to the Royal Family’s commands. It is considered the top-level knight order in the eyes of the world’s nations.”

Tielle spoke up from the side.

“The knight order was established by the hero a thousand years ago, who was the founding king of the kingdom. In the beginning, those who joined the order were all once comrades-in-arms of the hero, that is, the hero’s companions.”

That was quite impressive.

Since they were the hero’s companions, the knight order must have been exceptionally strong at its inception. After a thousand years of development, how strong it had become was a thought that filled one with awe.

That’s what Vivian had said.

“To join the Guard Knight Order, one either needs a direct invitation from the royal family or a recommendation from the nobles after reaching beyond Level 70. Otherwise, even the children of high-ranking nobles wouldn’t be allowed to join. As a result, the order only has seventy-seven members, but these seventy-seven are enough to serve as the kingdom’s last barrier, renowned as the kingdom’s iron wall.”

In other words, there were at least seventy-seven high-level masters above Level 70 in the royal capital.

“Currently, the captain of the Guard Knight Order is the head of the most famous knight family in the Mitra Kingdom, the Elbein Family,” Vivian continued. “He is a Legendary Grade knight of Level 98 and is also the strongest person in the Mitra Kingdom, even the strongest among the human race. People say his strength is only surpassed by the Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons. He’s incredibly powerful.”

For some reason, Vivian glanced subtly at Tielle as she made this remark.

But Tielle emitted an air of indifference, showing no reaction whatsoever.

On the other hand, Shane blinked his eyes.

“Level 98?”

What kind of frightening knight was this?

There were such formidable people in the royal capital?

Then Shane wanted to ask a question.

“How did Beddo and Killian manage to go on a killing spree here without being dealt with?”

Shane’s question was met with a helpless expression from Vivian.

“That’s why they could only assassinate.”

Vivian summarized it all in one sentence.

“Well, that makes sense,” Shane expressed his understanding.

Seeking mischief in such a place openly was undoubtedly a dead end, so the people from the Old Demon Clan Faction really had no choice but to carry out assassinations.

Moreover, at that time, it seemed that Laischa was also involved. With her space magic to aid them, it wouldn’t be too difficult for the Old Demon Clan Faction to sneak into the royal capital without a trace, right?

However, Shane always felt there must be more to the story than that; otherwise, Vivian wouldn’t have summarized it with just one sentence. Clearly, there were things she couldn’t openly discuss.

Of course, even if Vivian didn’t spell it out, Shane figured he could guess what was going on with near certainty.

(There must have been an insider.)

Or, perhaps some of the nobles within the royal capital were causing trouble, giving an opportunity to the Old Demon Clan Faction.

Shane felt he somewhat understood why it was necessary to escort Killian to the royal capital.

As the others, unaware of what Shane was thinking, began their discussion.

“I’ll go and explain to the gatekeeper; everyone, prepare to enter the city.”

Beren announced this and rode toward the city gate.

The rest waited where they were, casually chatting with one another.
