After entering the Royal Capital, Shane realized that it was even more prosperous than he had imagined.
Not only was the flow of people terrifyingly high, but the levels of the knights and adventurers coming and going were generally very high, as well as the developed industrial chain and layout.
In the Royal Capital, all the buildings were white chalk houses made of stone, and the ground was covered with neat and clean stone paths. The roads were even deliberately divided into three areas: the middle for carriages, and the sides for pedestrians, making each road extremely spacious and interconnected, as well as magnificent. It even gave Shane a sense of seeing modern-day roads, just that instead of asphalt, beautiful stone bricks were laid on the ground.
There were no stalls here, only a series of tidy shops forming commercial streets, and these commercial areas seemed to be categorized too, some selling only fruits and vegetables, some only selling equipment and weapons, and there was a tall tower located at the very center of the commercial streets. Inside, it was said to contain the kingdom’s most advanced equipment and magic potions, which made Shane couldn’t help but want to go and have a look.
As for the pedestrians, both their attire and spirit showed a wealthiness likely indicating that their daily lives weren’t too harsh. Even the equipment of the knights and adventurers was high-grade, and each one was in full sets, unlike the adventurers in Lamijion whose gear was mostly mismatched and incomplete.
These were all disparities.
Shane finally understood why the Royal Capital was called the center of the world.
Indeed, compared to other places, the differences were rather significant.
“Should it be said that this city was worthy of being established by a hero from Anotherworld?”
Perhaps many of the layouts and systems in this Royal Capital were adopted from their own worlds?
In any case, Shane felt a hint of modernization in this Royal Capital. If it weren’t for a completely different architectural style, it might even be turned into a modern metropolis.
“Well, but that’s still unlikely to happen.”

After all, since it is a hero, it would mean that they, like Shane, probably weren’t restored by the Goddess with knowledge and memories related to technology from their previous lives.
This was also to prevent the excessive seepage of Anotherworld’s technology and knowledge into this world, affecting and interfering with this world, which is why the Goddess deliberately did not restore this part of knowledge and memories.
Therefore, a hero from a millennium ago could probably only use the layout and systems of a modern city; turning this place into a modern city with skyscrapers and technological advancement was hardly possible, not to mention developing technology.
Given this, the Royal Capital still gave Shane a feeling of being very “otherworldly.”
“I really want to go around and explore.”
On his way to the Lazahad family, Shane unwittingly muttered this sentence.
As a result, just like Shane, Lu Muya and Merica, who had been looking around all the time, were also tempted and looked at Vivian with an expression of irresistible urge.
Clearly, these two also wanted to go around and explore.
Vivian, however, was not unable to understand the feelings of those who came to the Royal Capital for the first time.
“After we drop off our luggage, I’ll take you out for a walk,” Vivian said with a smile. “You wouldn’t want to walk around the streets with all that luggage, would you?”
“Also, after having camped outdoors for so long, it’s best to go back and freshen up,” Tielle added indifferently nearby. “Although this place is the cradle of adventurers, and seeing people like us looking dusty isn’t strange, people have been looking at us since we arrived, so it’s better to clean ourselves up.”
Hearing Tielle’s words, Lu Muya and Merica immediately nodded, showing that they were not oblivious to the fact they were quite dirty.
Only Shane, upon hearing Tielle, couldn’t help wanting to roll his eyes, and his gaze drifted around.
Indeed, there were people around who were occasionally glancing their way.
“Hey, take a look, those girls over there are so cute.”
“Where did that elf come from? She’s so cute, haven’t seen one before.”
“That dog-man is really cute too, with small ears and fluffy tail.”
“That one in the black robe, although you can’t see the face, just looking at the chin you could tell she’s very fair and cute.”
“About that girl in full armor, doesn’t she look familiar…?”
“Never mind, as long as they are all cute.”
That was their conversation.
Do you hear that? Is it because we are dusty and dirty that they stare?
It’s clearly because they are drooling over our bodies that they stare!
Of course, when they saw Shane, their tone changed.
“That guy is so annoying.”
“To think he’s mixing in the middle of such a beautiful group of girls…”
“Look, he’s smiling.”
“Is that smile meant to taunt the men around him?”
“That’s really irritating.”
Those words made Shane want to hit someone.
No, he actually turned around.
“Come on, buddy, let’s take a walk down the alley and chat about life.”
“What are you doing? Don’t pull me! Wait…wait…! Your smile is terrifying! What do you want to do to me? Don’t…don’t! Help…help me!”
In conclusion, on his first day in the Royal Capital, Shane almost ended up discussing life with the local guys.
In the end, it was only because of the astonished Vivian and Merica, who quickly intervened that Shane gave up on revenge.
However, those guys ended up crying and ran away without a trace; guess you could say Shane got his revenge?
After some episodes, everyone arrived at the Lazahad family’s home under Vivian’s lead.
As a Great Noble family that had been in the Royal Capital for a thousand years and also the head of the adventurer’s guild, the Lazahad family’s presence was significant. Located in a key area of the Noble District in the center of the Royal Capital, the mansion was extravagantly luxurious. In terms of size and area, it was even bigger than Laischa’s Huaming Pavilion, though it wasn’t as idyllic as Laischa’s bird-and-flower-filled retreat.
Upon arriving, a butler welcomed Vivian and Shane among others, led everyone inside, and had already arranged rooms for everyone, showing remarkable hospitality.
After asking around, Shane learned that Riley had anticipated that Vivian would bring everyone to stay at the Lazahad house and had previously written a letter to ask her family to take good care of them.
The head of the Lazahad family was temporarily not present, being away at the adventurer’s guild, so everyone hadn’t met him yet.
Eventually, everyone settled into their rooms, freshened up, and gathered in the mansion’s main hall on the first floor.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you all out for a walk.”
Vivian said with a smile to the now refreshingly clean group.
Lu Muya and Merica couldn’t help but get excited.
Because just a moment ago, Vivian had said this to him,
“Get ready, you’re coming with me to meet someone.”
The person Vivian mentioned was naturally the one from the Royal Capital she had previously said she wanted Shane to meet.
Shane couldn’t help but imagine.
