Chapter 995 The Capital City Edin

The capital city- Edin.

This city could be considered the heart of the kingdom. It was as lavish as the word lavish could allow it to be. It was as grand as the word grand could allow it to be.

Edin had harnessed the power of the River Leith to its advantage. It created various artificial tributaries of the river. The city's giant structures integrated the river's flow into their construction.

The city of Edin was only slightly smaller than the city of New Beginnings. But what it lacked in sheer carpet area, it made up for with skyscraping constructions and levitating islands.

The river water would travel upwards in streams at various places. These tributaries and upward streams were capable of letting ships enter their waters and travel from place to place.

It was as if the Water of Leith was the thread that had woven the city's fabric together. It was a beautiful sight to behold from anyone outside Edinburgh Central.

However, the Water of Leith was not the only mode of communication available in the city. Edinburgh did not have teleportation portals like other major cities in Edinburgh. But it had its own vibe as the capital of the kingdom.

The city could be explored using aerial means as well. Various flying ships were hosted by aerial ports located at fixed distances from each other. These runic ships and other legalized flying artifacts would allow people to travel from place A to place B in the shortest possible time.

The city also had underground constructions meant for the bottom feeders of the city. The Water of Leith would run underground as well, creating subterranean canal travel.

Then there was a web of roads spread all over the city. The city of Edin was one of the rare cities in the kingdom that was allowed to feature two, three, four, and six-wheeler vehicles.

Each type of vehicle had its own lane. The runic vehicles would be powered using Extols and other forms of mana. This was the mode of travel for low-ranked entities in the city who liked to show off using their luxurious vehicles.

The city had locomotive trains that would use the Water of Leith instead of the typical rail tracks. The trains were an affordable means of travel for most ordinary rankers inside Edin. If they could be called ordinary that is.

Just like the city of new beginnings, Edin was also divided into various districts. Each district was under the administration of a district governor. Even the lowest-qualified district governor had the ranking status of the solid stage Master rank.

The city's atmosphere would always be pleasant and sunny in daylight. The city's nights were vibrant and full of activities. It was as if the city never knew how to stop.

The city was home to around 40 million rankers and mortals. The city accommodated anyone and everyone who had the guts to embrace its busy and fast-paced lifestyle.

The city's population was as multi-ethnic as it could be. Each district had a culture of its own. The food choices were even more diverse. From a myriad of apparel and ranking resources, the city had something for everyone– mortals and rankers alike.

The city even had a dedicated monster region where sentient monsters registered by the city administration would be allowed to leave. The city also had various habitats for mana beasts which could be employed in various ways by the city administration and the denizens of the city.

The city of Edin even had a dedicated region meant for demon beasts– those with humanoid and beastly features alike. In short, the city of Edin was a culture shock for people visiting it for the first time.

Even the most ordinary citizens of the city would be considered somewhat successful by people outside of Central Edinburgh. The city's surface and its skies were taken over by the rich whereas the relatively poor people were restricted to the city's underground.

The city was completely surrounded and blessed by the Water of Leith. Because of this, it had many constructions all around it to accommodate ships of different sizes.

There were small piers made for boats and other small water-based vehicles. The aptly designed quay bays were meant for small to medium ships. Then there were docks built for giant ships. Although the ships could travel inside the city, outside ships were not allowed to do so. Only royal vessels could enter the city without any hindrance.

The city administration kept a very close eye on Edin's security. Even the city's underground zones weren't something the administration's investigative rounds couldn't penetrate. As a result, there was a very low crime rate inside the city, most of which was restricted to the bottom feeders living underground.

However, one had to look really carefully to find a few shades of poverty present inside the city. The opulence of the city, however, was on full display.

The city was home to various organizations present all over the kingdom.

The Royal Renar Academy was located in the heart of Edin. The academy had its own district named Edinnica. It had its own set of rules that were not present in other parts of the city.

The district governor of the academy Edinnica also served as the dean of the academy. He was a Sage ranker. He had served in that position for the last six centuries and still looked to be in his early 50s. His name was Hansen Lehan.

Edinnica was where the graduation event was going to be held for students from all five kingdom-approved academies together. No ordinary ranker or mortal was allowed to enter the region on a whim. It was only reserved for a select few people apart from the Royal Ren students and their associates.

Since Edinnica was at the heart of the city, it was almost equidistant from any outer region of the city. One could use their own choice of transport to get to Edinnica after reaching the city by ship.

Edin's quay bays and piers were busier than usual because of the graduation event that was going to be held at Royal Renar. The city was welcoming a new generation of young and talented rankers from the four corners of the kingdom.
