Chapter 92 (1/2)

Nemesis, the capital of the Baroque Empire.

A small wagon had entered the southern gate.

Luke and Philip were the ones who were in the wagon with the crest of Rakan.

“Lord, if you keep snooping around, they’ll call you out for wrong reasons.”

No matter what Philip had said, Luke couldn’t take his eyes off the magnificent view of the capital from the wagon window.

‘This is at least 3 times bigger than it was 500 years ago’, Luke thought.

Before turning into a warlock, Luke used to work at the Veritas Magic Tower that was located in Nemesis.

So, the city wasn’t an unfamiliar place for him.

However, over the last 500 years, the owner of the country had changed and the place turned into an Empire. And there, other changes in Nemesis commenced.

The first one was the rise of the tall buildings.

As the population had increased, there were many three to four-story buildings which were very rarely used in the past.

In the downtown, there were buildings with 10 floors too.

And the other things, the city was divided into different localities.

In the past it was simply divided into the city center, the place where the royal palace was located along with the nobles and the wealthy merchants and the outer center was the place of the common people.

But in the current time, the outer center was clearly divided into the residential, commercial, and military districts.

The Baroque Emperor was surely founded by a despicable emperor, but some of the past emperors were good to develop the army and the people over the 500 years.

And those competent emperors introduced various policies and prepared measures for strengthening their capital, and capital maintenance were one of their work.

By dividing the area in the right manner, the administration had developed much smoother and convenient, even if there was an enemy attack or rebellion, it was much easier to defend and respond proactively.

‘But in the end, the work needs to be done by humans, so there will be a gap.’

In case he was going to attack the capital in the later time, it wasn’t a bad thing to look for the loopholes in the administration.

“Is that the Gigant Arena?”

Asked Luke while pointing at the round arena that was to his far right.

Between the roads and the splendid mansions, there was a giant place, and as Philip had mentioned in the past, its size wasn’t comparable to the Lamer’s Gigant Arena.

“It is the proud Royal Gigant Arena.”

The Royal Gigant Arena was the place where the best of the best clans and the best riders from the empire got to show off their skills.

Thousands of tourists from all over Rhodesia move to see the thrilling games in there.
