Chapter 381 The View of the Judgment Department
At noon, Brand said goodbye to Celine and walked out of the studio.
After meeting Catherine, they walked out of the college gate, got on the carriage, and started heading towards the library.
In recent times, the interior of the imperial capital has inevitably become lively.
Originally, this kind of lively scene could only be seen in the suburbs of the imperial capital.
After all, everything there is relatively cheaper.
However, as time passed, the area within the imperial capital was eventually affected.
——Now there are some scenes from the war conference a few months ago.
Different from the war conference period, the imperial capital was filled with local nobles and noble vassals.
Most of the people who come to the imperial capital now are foreign dignitaries and wealthy upper-class businessmen.
Most of those at lower levels were looking for places to settle in the suburbs of the imperial capital.
Not long ago, when Brand went to the Imperial Capital Land Management Department to purchase land, the officials there also talked to him about related matters.
Because it is expected in advance that many people will come to the Kaya Imperial Capital.
So in order to prevent the flow of people in the imperial capital from being too crowded, they took the initiative to increase the rent of land in the imperial capital since the end of the empire's war conference.
——Even, they have canceled the long-term leasing business of the land. From now on, everyone can only rent the land on a monthly basis, and the rent of the land will also change on a monthly basis.
It is precisely because of this that so many people choose not to enter the imperial capital, but to settle in the suburbs of the imperial capital.
At the same time, the Imperial City Guards have also begun to strengthen the management of the areas surrounding the imperial capital.
In addition to making everything orderly, this is actually doing preparatory work for the subsequent expansion of the imperial capital.
——After the victory of the Pioneering War, the expansion of the imperial capital will be put on the agenda!
When the expansion is completed, the existing imperial capital area will become the "inner city area", and the new area will be the "outer city area".
By that time, both the rent and selling price of land in the inner city of the imperial capital will have risen to an outrageous level!
When he learned the news, Brand felt that he was quite lucky.
In this period, although the rent of land has increased a lot, the selling price has not changed.
After all, although many people want to rent these lands in the imperial capital, not many people are willing to buy them for the time being.
——The nobles are still waiting to allocate land in the north after the victory of the Pioneering War. There are few people who use their merits to purchase land in the imperial capital as extravagantly as he does!
All in all, Brand, who had obtained the permanent land purchase permit, spent a huge amount of money the next day to purchase a large piece of land in the imperial capital.
As a result, most of his financial reserves were consumed at once.
Of course, this is not a problem. The market for awakening potions in the Kaya Empire has basically been monopolized by them.
A huge amount of magic gold coins are added to the account every day.
It won’t be long before his wallet becomes “heavy” again!
Of course, although he has obtained the ownership of the land.
But a lot of land in that area has been rented out before.
The one with the longest lease time will not expire until more than half a year.
Regarding this problem, the staff of the land management department are already assisting him to spend magic gold coins to take back these rented places.
However, this always takes time.
For now.
Brand is not in a hurry, after all, his wallet is also drying up, and he has been able to regain his health recently.
All the way back to the library station.
After getting off the carriage, before he had gone far, a lady he had not seen for a while came up to him.
——Chris Romine, the leader of his intelligence organization and caravan.
She was still wearing a light ranger costume, and her blond hair was tied together and draped over her right shoulder. Although her outfit was no different from that of an ordinary adventurer, Brand always felt that Chrissy's outfit was more like that of an aristocratic lady who was going out to symbolically experience life.
“Brand!”
The first time she saw Brand, Chrissy had a smile on her face.
Brand also greeted him with a smile.
Chris was actually called back specifically by him.
Not long ago, Chris wrote to him about a rather special encounter.
——One time while walking with their caravan in the southern part of the empire, they were attacked by dozens of powerful bandits, some of which even reached the level of formal knights!
Such an extraordinary event naturally attracted Brand's attention.
Logically speaking, after several bandits were suppressed by the Imperial Legion, in the current Kaya Empire, even bandits are very rare, let alone bandits with formal knight strength.
Of course, because Chris happened to be one of the caravan's entourage, these bandits did not cause any losses to the caravan.
In addition to the various guards on the surface, Chris also has a night elf whose strength is close to that of the Great Shadow Dancer.
This kind of strength, if converted to the realm of a human knight, would be equivalent to a strength close to that of a great knight.
In addition, Chris’s magic pocket also contains a great knight golem and several high-level knight golems.
So in the end, the bandits were all killed or captured by them without any resistance.
After later investigation, it was found that these bandits had recently migrated from outside the Kaya Empire.
After learning such news, Brand specifically asked Chris to focus on collecting intelligence on the southern border areas of the empire.
Intelligence shows that since the war conference, more and more people have come to the Kaya Empire from abroad.
The security of some towns in the south is often chaotic, and the frequency of wild caravans encountering bandits has also increased.
Not all other cities in the Kaya Empire are as orderly as the Kaya Imperial Capital.
When the number of foreign passenger caravans increases, it is not impossible that the town management system will be disrupted.
As for bandits and so on, since the end of the war conference.
As the number of caravans traveling to and from the Kaya Empire gradually increases, it is not surprising that bandits follow them to "do business".
However, Brand still noticed some unusual details.
——Someone discovered the presence of the Imperial Judgment Department.
The personnel of the Judgment Department will not care about mere public security issues!
They usually only focus on "events that may have a significant impact"!
So, those chaos may be because someone is causing trouble, or the trial department suspects that someone is causing trouble.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
In addition to the national forces that want to see the Kaya Empire win the opening war and want to cooperate friendly with it.
There are bound to be some countries or forces that do not want to see the Kaya Empire achieve final victory.
——Businessmen are beginning to gather towards the Kaya Empire, so there will always be some places that are abandoned by the merchants and become lonely, or no longer attract as much attention as in the past.
Now that the power of the major nobles of the Kaya Empire and the imperial legions are gradually beginning to gather in the north.
It’s completely normal for them to try to come over to cause trouble and hinder the Kaya Empire!
Based on this consideration, Brand called Chris back.
He plans to "upgrade" the forces led by Chris.
