Chapter 133

Mitra Kingdom. The capital.

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

A thousand years ago, the Hero who defeated the Demon King founded a country here. He also brought up the concept of adventurers after the war and pushed through the creation of adventurers and the adventurer’s guild.

Thus, this place was known both as the home of the Hero and the source of adventurers. It drew people from all across the world and formed into a very prosperous economic chain.

Especially in the recent years. The Kingdom had secured someone with a unique skill that could speed up the growth of any plants as a royal adviser. With the aid of that royal adviser, the royalty could mass produce all kinds of valuable potions ingredients and greatly boost the development of the magic potions business. From that, the Kingdom had managed to get a reputation as a major potion producer. As the capital of the Kingdom, the magic potion production business here was more advanced and productive than that of any other country in the world.

Thus, the Capital would have all kinds of adventurers and merchant caravans from all over the world entering and leaving it nearly every day. The eight gates situated around the city were filled to bursting with traffic every day, bustling with excitement.

Today, the Capital’s gate was still full with traffic. All kinds of people lined up in a long line before the gate. Some were getting ready to leave, while others were readying their gate tolls in preparation for entering.

Under such an environment, Shien and the group finally managed to arrive after traveling for so long.

“Finally here…”

Looking at the prosperous city that the road lead to, Balon, who was at the head of the group, let out a deep breath.

Everyone else was the same. They all showed joyful expressions.

“The Capital…”

Diere, Lumia, and Melika all looked toward it eagerly.

“I’m back…”

Vivian looked at the gate with a sense of nostalgia.

Shien also looked over toward the Capital with flashing eyes.

“So this is the capital huh?”

After spending nearly half a month, Shien and the group finally reached here, to the center of the Mitra Kingdom.

This was the city designed by the Hero a thousand years ago. Shien was also looking forward to it in the hopes of getting a chance to properly look around some.

The result is that the Capital indeed did not disappoint.

Using the [Appraisal] and [Magic Detection] skills, Shien could clearly detect that the Capital was completely different from Lamdrion.

“The adventurers entering the Capital were nearly all level 30+.”

“The gate guards aren’t actually normal soldiers, but actual knights. Their levels also exceeds level 30.”

“Even the people patrolling up on the walls are level 30+ knights. Their strength far surpasses that of normal soldiers.”

And this is just what’s visible on the surface.

The Capital also have a number of uncommon things below said surface.

For example, Shien had detected a boundary active around the walls. There were also magic cannon like magic weapons situated on the walls. Finally, there were a number of powerful magical powers moving around the city, which lets Shien know just how many elites there were inside.

“Scared?” Vivian seemed to have noticed the surprised expression on Shien’s face and gave a quick smile, “Don’t be so surprised. This is the capital of the Mitra Kingdom. Home of the Hero. Even the main headquarters of the adventurer’s guild is situated here. The strongest people in the Kingdom, no, the entire world, are active around here. Plus, there are also the Royal Knights. There are people higher leveled than me all over the place here.”

“Royal Knights?” Shien turned toward Vivian and asked, “What’s that…”

The one to answer that question wasn’t Vivian but Diere.

“It’s the strongest knight order in the entire Mitra Kingdom. They report directly to the royal family and only take orders from the royal family. They could be called the highest leveled knight order in the entire world even.” Diere so spoke from the side.

“The one to establish this knight order was also the Hero a thousand years ago, the founding king of the Kingdom. In the very beginning, everyone who joined this knight order were people who fought alongside the Hero, that is, the Hero’s companions.”

That’s pretty amazing.

Since they’re the Hero’s companions, then this knight order was probably unbelievably strong in the beginning. It’s a bit scary thinking about just how much stronger it might have gotten after a thousand years of development.

Vivian also agreed.

“To join the Royal Knights, you must either be directly invited by the royal family or have reached level 70+ along with recommendations from the nobility. Otherwise, not even the children of the highest ministers and nobility of the country will be allowed to join. Because of that, this knight order only amount to 77 individuals. However, those 77 individuals are also enough to be the final wall that defends this country. Thus, they’re known as the Iron Wall of the Kingdom.

In other words, within the capital, there are at least 77 level 70+ elites.

“Currently, the captain of the Royal Knights is the head of the Erbin family, the most famous knight family of the Mitra Kingdom.” Vivian continued explaining, “That one is a level 98 legendary knight. He’s the strongest person in the Mitra Kingdom, as well as the strongest human. It’s said that his strength is only just below that of the three great goddesses and six great demon lords. Anyways, he’s very strong.”

As she said that, Vivian, for some unknown reason, gave Diere a subtle glance.

Diere however only gave off a cold atmosphere and didn’t react to this at all.

Rather, it was Shien who blinked his eyes.

“Level 98?’

What kind of terrifying knight is that?

There’s actually someone that amazing in the capital?

In that case, Shien rather had a question.

“How the heck then were Baydr and Jillian able to commit a massacre here without getting wiped out?

Shien’s question was met with a resigned expression from Vivian.

“That’s why they could only assassinate.”

Vivian answered everything with that simple statement.

“Ah. True enough.”

Shien affirmed his understanding.

To mess around around here, doing it openly is unquestionably a death sentence. Thus, the Old Demon Faction could only carry out assassinations.

Plus, at the time, Leisha seemed to have been involved too. With her spacial magic as support, it shouldn’t have been all that hard for the Old Demon Faction to have sneaked in without a trace, right?

However, Shien did feel like there should have been other hidden factors. Vivian wouldn’t have just ended it with a single statement otherwise. There were obviously other factors involved that couldn’t be mentioned.

Of course, even without Vivian saying anything, Shien could more or less guess what happened.

(There must have been traitors who acted from the inside)

That or a portion of the nobility inside the capital were messing about and gave the Old Demon Faction the chance.

Shien felt like he somewhat understood why they were transporting Jillian to the capital.

Unknowing of what Shien was thinking, the rest of the group started a discussion.
