The Royal Capital covered an expansive area.

At least, according to Vivian’s explanation, Shane thought the size of the Royal Capital might rival that of some small countries from his previous life.

“The Royal Capital is divided into eight districts, corresponding to the directions of the eight city gates.”

“The Eastern District is primarily a residential area, home to commoners and the dwellings of wealthy merchants.”

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

“The Western District is the Noble District, which, as the name suggests, is where the nobles of the Royal Capital live. The higher the nobility’s status, the closer they are to the center. Lesser nobles reside on the periphery. The hierarchy is quite clear. We just came from there.”

“The Southern District is the workshop area, containing all sorts of industrial workshops. Whether it’s the mixing of Magic Potions, the forging of Magic Weapons, or the creation of Magic Tools, nearly all the goods sold in the Capital’s stores come from here.”

“The Northern District is the military area, with only the Knight’s barracks and training grounds. The Knights of the Royal Capital use it as their headquarters, where they live and train.”

“As for the Southeast and Southwest Districts, these are the commercial areas. The commercial streets that you’re interested in are mostly located in these two districts. The Northeast and Northwest Districts are the administrative areas, where all the administrative-related institutions are concentrated, including the headquarters of the Adventurer’s Guild, which is in the Northwest District, close to the Western Noble District and the Northern military area.”

“Then there’s the Royal Palace, or to be precise, the Royal City. It’s situated right at the intersection of the central point of the eight districts. That’s also the exact center of the Royal Capital, facing the eight main avenues, from which one can travel to any district or city gate.”

“This is the basic layout of the Royal Capital.”

While Vivian was introducing this, she also led the group around for a tour.

To say they were being led around on a tour, only Shane, Lu Muya, and Merica really needed it. Tielle, originally from the Royal Capital, followed in silence without voicing any opinions. Moreover, the Royal Capital was really large, too large to finish touring in a short time, even leaving no time for a visit to the commercial district, let alone fully enjoy themselves.

“There are actually carriages here that can take you to other districts if you really want to visit the commercial districts.”

This was what Vivian had said. As one could imagine, even traveling from the nearby Western Noble District to the commercial districts, particularly the closer Southwest District, would take quite a bit of time.

“Perhaps… Perhaps it’s better to wait for another opportunity to visit.”

“Yes… Yes, that might be best.”

After experiencing the opulence and vastness of the Royal Capital, both Lu Muya and Merica backed out.

After all, they had just finished traveling, and if they had to hustle around that much more today—Lu Muya might manage, but Merica, as a pure Mage, truly couldn’t handle it.

So, it seemed today would just be a brief tour. To seriously do something in the Royal Capital would probably have to wait until tomorrow.

Shane felt a bit of regret about this.

“I still want to check out the Magic Weapons here.”

Shane hadn’t yet obtained a proper weapon, so even before arriving, he had wanted to come to the Royal Capital and make a good selection.

This desire became even stronger after his battle with Beddo.

Because while wielding Beren’s Sword, Shane truly felt an exquisite sense of fulfillment. Not only could he channel his Magic Power into the sword blade faster, better, and more smoothly when using the “Magical Sword” Skill, but even somewhat chaotic fighting didn’t feel forced. It fully demonstrated how important a good Magic Weapon is for a Melee-type warrior.

Afterward, Shane learned that the Magic Weapon was forged from a very precious Magic Metal. The effect was to accelerate the flow of Magic Power and tend toward stability, greatly beneficial to those practicing the “Magical Sword” Skill.

It seemed that Beren had taken a liking to that sword for the purpose of learning “Magical Sword.”

Learning this ace Skill of the Melee class, even before reaching Level 70, would put an end to any idle gossip about Beren.

After all, this Skill was so difficult to learn that even Level 70 experts struggled with it. Some people didn’t master it until Level 80, which just goes to show how challenging and powerful it is.

Of course, Shane had a weapon far superior to Beren’s in his possession.

The Holy Sword.

This sword was a true Divine Artifact; Beren’s blade held no candle to it, probably not even qualifying as worthy to lace its shoes.

Shane had tried using the Holy Sword to execute the “Magic Sword” skill, but it almost triggered an earth-shattering, destructive phenomenon that frightened him into immediately halting the influx of magic power.

However, when using the Holy Sword, Shane could pour in his magic power endlessly without any issues, and using the “Magic Sword” felt exceptionally natural to him; he didn’t need to worry about the weapon being unable to withstand it, although controlling the power was a bit of a challenge.

Who would have expected the Holy Sword to be able to raise all skills by ten levels?

Shane’s already maxed-out “Magic Sword” skill, after being amplified, let out just a hint of its might, nearly scaring Shane to death.

Owing to this, Shane dared not use the Holy Sword at all.

That wasn’t just a weapon, it was essentially a nuclear bomb; even if he could carry a nuke around, he wouldn’t dare to openly detonate it.

Thanks to this, the most powerful Divine Artifact in Shane’s possession was nearing merely a decorative status, causing him quite a dilemma.

Because there were so few opportunities where the Holy Sword could be of use, and carrying it posed a risk of exposing Shane’s identity, he even tried burying it in the outskirts. However, when he woke up the next day, the sword had found its way back into his arms, as if it had never left.

One of the effects of the Holy Sword was clear—it was inseparable.

Therefore, Shane could only continue to wander about with this “nuclear bomb.”

But even while carrying it, Shane wouldn’t use it without a good reason.

It troubled him greatly, and in the end, he could only turn it into an accessory to wear, while he had to find another, more manageable weapon for himself.

That’s to say, Shane was most eager to check out the Magic Weapons first.

“Although I don’t know if I can afford them, at least let me have a look,” Shane almost let out a sigh reminiscent of an ordinary man.

Unbeknownst to Shane, Vivian was thoughtfully observing him from the side.

Then, Vivian spoke.

“Now that we are out, even if we can’t go to other places for the time being, we might as well visit the most important place here first.”

Her words took everyone by surprise.

“The most important place?”

Shane also blinked.

And at that moment, Tielle finally spoke up.

“Can we see it now?”

That was the question Tielle asked.

“There should be no problem,” Vivian said with a charming smile, addressing Tielle: “Have you forgotten what time it is now?”

“Ah…” Tielle seemed to have remembered something significant.

Understandably, Shane, Lu Muya, and Merica were completely clueless.

Seeing this, Vivian smiled enigmatically.

“Perfect, you all should take a look as well.”

Take a look at what?

“The Kingdom’s treasure, which is also the daily routine most crucial to the Royal Capital.”
