Chapter 417 The capital of the Sakura Shogunate - Heianjing!(2/3)
The two of them left.
In the wooden house, Ryota Miyagi and Alton, one person and one sheep, looked at each other.
"Ryota, who is he?"
"Uh... my friend's friend?"
…
…
State-owned capital.
The Daluo Dynasty had Luojing, which was called Daluojing City by the world.
The Sakura Shogunate also had its own capital, a luxurious city called Heian-kyo.
Looking around the world, the protection mechanism of large cities basically uses city walls as the base to form the foundation of the formation. Once faced with an invasion by foreign enemies, the formation can be based on the city wall to form a large city protection formation with 360-degree coverage.
Protect the city in all directions, including above and below ground.
This is also the reason why cities in strange worlds still have such things as "city walls" when faced with extraordinary powers.
The essence of the city wall is no longer to block the enemy, but to serve as the base of the city defense formation.
The thicker and taller the city wall is, it means that the more base materials used in the city defense formation, the higher the quality of the city defense formation will naturally be.
Therefore, in many cases, the thickness and height of a city wall is also a proof of national strength.
The capital of the Daluo Dynasty and the imperial capital of the Violet Empire are recognized as the most luxurious city walls in the world and represent the world's top city defense formations.
Although Heian-kyo of the Sakura Shogunate is not as tall as these two giant cities, it is still majestic.
"The hundred-meter city wall... is really exaggerated..."
The sun sets in the west.
The dark red sunset gradually sets over the mountains, and the brilliant sunset glow hangs high in the sky.
A few days after leaving Alton, Li Guanqi took Sophia to the edge of a mountain cliff.
They stood high and looked at the huge city in the distance, looming on the horizon.
I saw that huge and towering city, just sitting on the plain, shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The hundred-meter-high city wall completely surrounds this huge city covering an area of nearly 3,000 square kilometers, making it look like a god standing in the dusk, accepting travelers from all over the world.
In the East, apart from Daluo Kyo City, which is known as the city that never sleeps, Heian Kyo, which belongs to the Sakura Shogunate, is the most tolerant to foreign countries.
“It’s truly spectacular.”
Li Guanqi looked at Ping'an Beijing in the distance and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Heian Kyo covers an area of nearly 3,000 square kilometers and is completely surrounded by a hundred-meter city wall. If the strange world had not entered the extraordinary era, the manpower and material resources required to accomplish such a thing would be almost unimaginable.
However, even in the extraordinary era, the resources required to accomplish this are quite huge.
After all, those city walls look like piles of stones, but in fact they are filled with expensive high-end formation materials, requiring countless skilled formation masters to design, supervise, and build.
"How big is Heiankyo?"
At this time, Sophia looked at Heian Jing and suddenly asked.
"3278 square kilometers."
Li Guanqi glanced at her with a smile, "This is the official data provided by the shogunate. I thought they would exaggerate, but now it seems that this is even a little understated."
"It's only 3,000 square kilometers and it's so spectacular. How about Da Luo Jing City and Violet Imperial City?!"
Sophia's eyes widened, "I heard that the area of Da Luo Jing City and Violet Imperial City both exceeds 30,000 square kilometers, which is ten times that of Heian Jing. So aren't these two cities even more spectacular?"
"yes."
Li Guanqi continued to look at Ping'an Jing with a smile on his face, "The world is still very big, and there are many wonderful places. I haven't visited them all yet."
"By the way, the 100-meter city wall, can people still live in the area under the city wall?"
Li Guanqi was still feeling the wonder of the world, but Sophia looked at Ping'an Jing, and her thoughts wandered again for some reason, and she said blankly: "With such a high wall, the area under the wall cannot see the sun for quite some time every day, right?"
"Never mind it, it's none of our business."
"boom!"
Li Guanqi shook his head, his whole body was enveloped by the strong wind, and he suddenly stood up from the ground and flew towards the gate of Ping'an Jing at full speed.
"Let's go Sophia."
"I know!"
…
…
A few minutes later.
The sun sets completely and night falls.
Li Guanqi and Sophia arrived at the north gate of Ping An Jing. They passed by the long entry line on the left and took the road on the right straight to the city gate.
There are two passages at the city gate.
The one on the left is for people below the fourth elephant level.
You need to queue up when entering the city, and you need to check the space storage. If you bring a large amount of goods, you will be considered to be doing business in Ping An Jing. The goods need to be classified and taxed.
The one on the right is prepared for people above the fourth elephant level.
Of course, there is a tax on the passage here, but the tax rate is no different. It just gives people with high cultivation a fast passage, so they don't have to queue with people with low cultivation.
Unlike the long queue on the left, the aisle on the right is quite empty.
After all, people with level four and above are not bad people, and in most cases, there will not be a long queue.
Life in this world is actually about mixing in circles.
Li Guanqi seemed to be able to interact with people above the Four Elephants level and the Five Elements level wherever he went.
But this is because of his strength. He is a person of this level, so he will naturally deal with these people often.
Just like there are not many millionaires in reality.
But wherever multi-millionaires go, they socialize with multi-millionaires, as if everyone around them is multi-millionaires, and there seem to be many such rich people.
But in fact, the reason why multi-millionaires have seen many multi-millionaires is because they themselves are rich people, so they naturally interact with other rich people.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, will never be able to see a few multi-millionaires in person in their lifetime.
The same is true for the weird world.
A cultivation level of four elephants, even in a national capital like Heianjing, can be regarded as the middle class of a small aristocracy, and it is not seen everywhere.
Such as now.
There were only two people in line in front of Li Guanqi and Sophia, which formed a sharp contrast with the long queue on the left.
These two four-elephant-level humans of different blood seemed to be lovers, holding hands.
It is worth mentioning that both of them are foreigners with blond hair and golden eyes. If their hair color and eye color may be due to alien characteristics, then their European and American faces cannot be explained by the alien characteristics.
"Businessman? No, no, no, I'm not a businessman...ah, I'm not a businessman. My wife and I are here to travel to your Sakura Shogunate. These are souvenirs."
The two foreigners seemed to have had some discussions with the city guard.
"Then you bought too many souvenirs, right?"
The city guard frowned.
"but..."
"If you haven't learned how to speak Eastern languages, you can also communicate with your soul using your soul. I have a fourth-level soul."
"Okay, sorry, we..."
The two foreigners started chatting with the city guard.
Li Guanqi and Sophia were not in a hurry, and just waited patiently.
Li Guanqi watched this scene with great interest.
He also asked Shunkong about the weird world languages.
Shunkong said that this is because in the end of the world, the world's population has shrunk sharply, and the world structure has undergone a round of cleansing. In the end, only two extraordinary groups have the right to speak in the world.
One is the extraordinary force from Britain, who have completely become the hegemon of the West.
On the east side, there was a group of top Chinese powerhouses, including the later Fire God Han Mengyao.
The two groups fought for a long time, but in the end they couldn't decide the winner. They chose to "rule across the sea" and not invade each other.
Gradually, the world was divided directly into "East" and "West" by these two groups of people.
And the language types have also been directly reduced to Chinese and English under thousands of years of subtle influence.
If in the 21st century, people are accustomed to calling the world the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere from a geographical perspective, after the end of the world, due to various influences, people in the olden times are more accustomed to calling the world the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
