"Indeed, we are already very close to the Imperial City!" Yang Xin'er looked around and soon turned to Xiao Chen with surprise, "Have you been to Cangyue Imperial City before?"
"What's so strange about that?" Xiao Chen asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's strange. Didn't you say you came from Fengyue Country? You don't even have an identity token, so how could you have been to the Imperial City? The city is not accessible to just anyone these days!"
"Because of the Demon Race invasion, the other cities are relatively less safe compared to the Imperial City, so initially a large number of people crowded into the Imperial City, causing an overpopulation. Consequently, the Cangyue Royal Family issued a series of decrees to control the population of the Imperial City." Yang Xin'er explained while looking at Xiao Chen with suspicion.
"So, you're saying that if you're not well-connected, you can't enter the Imperial City?" Xiao Chen pondered aloud.
