Holy Spirit Kingdom.
On the tree-lined road outside Berlin, several fancy carriages passed by, leaving deep marks on the muddy road.
"Our prince is so pitiful."
"You are right."
"He is most likely to become the next king of Holy Spirit Kingdom."
"But now he is exiled to such a desolate place..."
"It is said that the prince covets the beauty of the new queen. In my opinion, only the king likes the beauty of the new queen..."
"Alas..."
Rowen woke up.
Sitting in the carriage and listening to the whispering talks, he raised the curtain.
Looking at the changing scenery outside the car.
He sighed silently.
Even though he had traveled through it for several months, it was still hard to accept that he had actually traveled to a different world, Main God Continent.
This was a world of sword and magic.
The nine kingdoms stood together and were divided into nine fiefs. Countless mage academies were standing there, supporting the extremely powerful mage.
They moved mountains and filled the sea, and the incantation could even reach the gods!
He was the seventh prince of Holy Spirit Kingdom, which ranked fifth among the nine kingdoms.
It could be said to be extremely noble.
Unfortunately.
A few days ago, Rowen was accused of "insulting" the new queen.
King Bud was furious.
He was exiled to Berlin City, the most remote place in Holy Spirit Kingdom.
In a year, he would be forgiven if the tax of Berlin City reached four million. He would return to Holy Spirit City.
"Four million gold coins!"
"The tax of Holy Spirit City is only nine hundred thousand gold coins. It's really a little harsh."
"My stupid father."
Rowen rubbed between his eyebrows with a headache.
The new queen, Daisy, had the magic power of the nine-star tutor mage. She was even close to becoming an Earth tutor mage.
But he was just a five-star knight.
There was a big difference between him and the new queen.
In this world, the most famous career was mage and knight.
And the two careers had different levels, each with nine stars. Rowen was just a level-2 knight.
As for the queen, she was already a level-4 mage. She was even one star away from reaching level 5!
"This slander is really outrageous."
Rowen looked dejected.
"I'll make a scene when I get back!"
Rowen's expression was complicated, but most of it was anger.
At this moment, the maid next to him suddenly lowered her head and whispered in Rowen's ear, "Your Highness, we are arriving in Berlin City."
Rowen was taken aback.
He raised his head and saw the two words "Berlin City" on the shabby signboard.
This time, the seventh prince was relegated, and he was not the only one to go to Berlin.
As the most favored prince of the emperor, he came here along with his personal servants.
This decision made Rowen feel much better.
Although he was a traverser, he had been familiar with these servants for months.
It was better to have a companion than to come to a strange city alone.
"Do you believe me?"
Rowen looked up at the maid in front of him.
The maid named Jona was confused by Rowen's question.
"I will complete the target given by the king. The difficult days won't be too long!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the head of the guards sitting next to him raised his hand and pointed out of the window. "Before we can recognize the reality, people will often have an illusion."
The head of the guards was named Clauco. Other than the position of the head of the guards, his another identity was even more astonishing!
Clauco Tristan! He was a comrade of the king, Bud Tristan!
Because he had always thought highly of the seventh prince and even had the thought of making him the king!
This time, Rowen was in trouble and Clauco followed Rowen to Berlin regardless of the king's objection. In his eyes, Rowen was not a man who coveted beauty.
Rowen was deeply touched by what Clauco had done.
Although he volunteered to be a servant, Rowen treated him as his brother.
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Rowen was shocked.
The carriage had already driven into Berlin, and the scene in Berlin was even more absurd!
The houses were tattered, and the food was rotten. Corpses that were starving to death could be seen everywhere. Weak animals were desperately searching for food.
This was the city Rowen was going to take over! It was as if it had just suffered a heavy blow in the war!
Rowen widened his eyes and asked, "Why... Why is this scene?"
His heart was like a storm.
If it was just because of the bad environment, it would be good for him to live a stable life here. But now, it seemed that the quality of his life was difficult to guarantee!
"Your Highness, Berlin is on the edge of the land, so it's naturally difficult to manage it!"
The maid's delicate voice sounded pale and feeble. Although she had heard of Berlin for a long time, it was inevitable to be shocked after seeing it with her own eyes.
However, the expression on Clauco's face was calm. He had fought for many years and had seen many more miserable scenes than this.
To everyone's astonishment, the carriages arrived at the door of the city lord's residence.
As soon as they got out of the car, Rowen looked at the stone-brick buildings in front of him and sighed, "There is still something good in the huge Berlin City."
Compared with the strange building that had been witnessed before, the residence of the city lord was much better!
They pushed the door open and entered the hall.
The maids began to clean up the room. Naturally, the master bedroom was left to Rowen.
Clauco and Rowen stood aside and watched everything. Rowen couldn't help but sigh that things had changed. It was really not a good feeling for a phoenix to become a sparrow.
"Clauco?"
"Yes. Please go ahead."
Rowen's face was gloomy. He arranged for him to inspect Berlin.
As a newcomer, he had to know more about the city.
They didn't know what Berlin City looked like. When they passed through Berlin, they seemed to only see the surface. Perhaps it was a dangerous place, so it would be better to let the most powerful Clauco to inspect it.
Upon hearing Rowen's idea, Clauco nodded in agreement. Then he picked a strong horse outside the house and went to Berlin alone.
For a moment, only the busy servants and... Rowen was left in the hall.
The servants served Rowen a pot of tea. Their leisurely manner didn't fit in with the current situation in Berlin.
Before the seat was warm, Clauco had returned to the hall. At the same time, a message came that made Rowen desperate—the bandits in Berlin were rampant and the people were suffering!
"The bandits robbed most of the strong horses in Berlin, making it impossible for goods to be transported out of Berlin and unable to be sold. The remaining horses are only some old, sick and disabled."
The news made Rowen, who had just taken a sip of tea, vomit again.
Berlin was in such an awkward situation. Even four gold coins were difficult, let alone four million gold coins for tax!
Rowen was so angry that he began to curse the damn bandit.
It seemed that the first task to come to Berlin should be to kill these outlaws!
"That's good. I can vent my anger now. The bandit is courting death!"
On the other hand, it was the best time to establish the authority as the city lord!
Bandits were definitely the best stepping stones!
"Ding... Congratulations on binding the strongest city lord system!"
