First draft, revised first, revised later, no words to read.

There is a lot of noise in the battle at the Royal Academy of Omar.

Almost instantly, the news spread throughout the imperial capital as if it had wings.

But it didn't take long for the sound of gunfire to die out.

The residents originally thought that those guys in Black Dragon City who overestimated their capabilities were suppressed by the Imperial City Guards. But after hearing that one of the walls of the college was completely destroyed in the bombing, everyone realized that things were not that simple.

However, the reaction of the city guards in the imperial city was also very strange. They were patrolling when they should be patrolling, and changing the guard when it was time to change the guard... There was no large-scale mobilization at all, and there was no sign of any emergency war preparations.

All departments in the imperial capital were peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Except for a few senior officials in the empire who knew the inside story, ordinary residents did not know that because of the transition of imperial power, the princes had reached a tacit understanding, and no one wanted to provoke the Black Dragon City group.

The atmosphere of panic has completely dissipated before it spreads in the imperial capital.

Since the high-level nobles did not respond, ordinary residents should do whatever they want...

The order in the imperial capital remained the same, but there was a little more talk after dinner.

... ...

Ren and Ymir visited Irubek's family.

The old man's family is also considered a famous family in the Omar Imperial City, a family of doctors. Although due to the impact of the "Prince Forbes Incident" that year, the family fell from the top aristocratic circle.

But doctors, a profession that relies on technology to make a living, no one will deliberately target this group, even if it is urgently needed by top dignitaries. With super high medical skills, at least being rich is not a problem.

Irubek's family runs several large and profitable hospitals in the imperial capital, and Renne visited the family.

Now that Black Dragon City is growing rapidly, the medical system also needs a large number of professionals. The old man also sent a message back to the imperial capital before, explaining the current situation in Black Dragon City to his family.

The old man's family is not at the top of Omar's power, although they are not sure what the evidence is now. But in their view, no matter how unstable the regime is, it will have little impact on doctors and hospitals.

Even war would be better.

Some people chose to stay in the imperial capital. Only the old man's two biological sons were willing to leave the imperial capital with their families and careers.

Nowadays, Black Dragon City is regarded as a "flood monster" and a "remote countryside" in the people's perception of Oma Imperial City. Very few people are willing to move from the originally wealthy environment to an unknown place.

Ren didn't force it either.

Black Dragon City still needs time to grow.

But one day, it will shock the world.

... ... .

After finishing their business, Ren and Ymir strolled leisurely through the streets of the imperial capital.

After entering the city, they immediately went to the palace to see the old emperor, and then they encountered matters from the previous academy.

Now that he is finally free, Renn wants to see the most prosperous city of this era and appreciate its customs and customs.

It has to be said that "Usenbar" is indeed the most prosperous mechanical city he has ever seen. Even in terms of liveliness, it is no worse than the super metropolis on the earth in his previous life. Because of the dense population of Mechanical City, the population density in the city is even greater than that of any major city in previous generations.

The residents of the imperial capital seem to have become accustomed to seeing all kinds of nobles, big and small.

In other remote territories, a low-level noble such as a baron or viscount can make the common people greet them respectfully. Here, there are so many low-level nobles that even random passers-by on the roadside have hereditary titles. In the lively and bustling commercial streets, you can see high-class ladies and ladies accompanied by large groups of guards and servants everywhere...

Even the eldest princess Ymir did not attract many onlookers when she walked on the street. Although occasionally residents recognized her and whispered a few words about her beauty in private, that was all...

With the legend Ymir with him, there was no need to worry about safety, and Ren didn't bring any bodyguards.

The two looked like young lovers, strolling leisurely on the street.

They originally chatted for a while about the development of Black Dragon City, but both of them felt that the atmosphere was a bit boring.

Ren thought about asking Ymir to take him to familiarize himself with various shops in the imperial capital, such as taverns, specialty shops, geisha houses, etc...

When she comes to the imperial capital, a certain princess should always fulfill her duties as a landowner.

He quite said that the Imperial City of Omar was at the forefront of current trends, and novelties from every territory could be found here.

But after asking, I found out that although Ymir knew the road, the shop was not ordinary at all. Not to mention geisha houses, pubs, etc., I have never been to them...

Renn didn't react at first and said in shock: "You... haven't bought anything in a store?"

He preconceptionally thought that people who have never lived in the imperial capital should know the imperial capital very well.

But that is for ordinary people, not Ymir, the extremely pampered Princess Omar.

"What's so strange about this?"

Ymir rolled her eyes at him and said calmly: "In the past, the servants would prepare everything I needed, so I didn't need to buy it myself. Besides, I don't have much interest in jewelry or anything like that. The palace etiquette officer matched it for me. It is enough to meet daily needs. There are two sword shops that I am familiar with. Maybe you don’t want me to take you to that kind of place... "

"..."

Ren's eyelids twitched as he listened.

Sure enough, the emperor's pole was made of gold.

He thought that Ymir should be familiar with it, but he didn't know that it was normal for her to be unfamiliar with it.

It turns out that there is a big difference in the way of life between top nobles and ordinary people.

At this time, Ymir seemed to be a little interested and said, "If you are interested, I can also go shopping with you. I happen to be familiar with it."

When she said this, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face that had been as cold as frost in front of outsiders for thousands of years, and she said something slightly emotional: "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't realize it. , this city where I grew up, suddenly feels a little strange. Would you like to take me to get familiar with it? "

Ren was dumbfounded, "Okay."

... ... ..

A city lord of Black Dragon City, a Prime Minister of Black Dragon City.

If you are in the territory on weekdays, one must be practicing and the other must be working in the city hall.

It is almost impossible to spend time leisurely walking around like this.

When Ymir returned to the imperial capital, she always had the cold aura of the eldest princess, which was a familiar state to her.

In the past, Ren's impression of her face was that she was a little off-limits to strangers, as if she had no "acquaintances to let in."

But now, he has become accustomed to Ymir's same cold expression.

When it's time to joke around, you can occasionally show off your waist to make the date less tense...

Ymir would give him a very uncomfortable look at first, but then she would always be helpless.

Because Mr. Lei is becoming more and more skillful in his tricks and his face is getting thicker and thicker.

But as long as he is not seen in public, Ymir is "used to it".

Later, it was left to him.

Probably because of the common problem of traveling in the past life, after visiting here, I must bring something back.

The two visited various shops, and Ren planned to buy some "local specialties."

Bring some gifts to this person in front of you, to Mrs. Canossa, and to that little girl Udo...

Ymir's demand for foreign objects is really quite indifferent.

Ren wanted to ask her what she liked, but she always said it was fine.

Whenever I buy something for her, she will politely say "thank you".

Not only is she indifferent to foreign objects, but to people who don't understand her, her attitude can also be said to be extremely cold.

However, it only looks like it.

In fact, after getting along for a long time, Ren also discovered that Ymir actually had some "little habits" that were inconsistent with her aloof persona.

For example, she likes to "steal" desserts.

She said she ate it secretly because she, Ymir, liked to eat desserts but didn't want others to see her.

Probably except for Ren, even her personal maids have never seen her greedy look.

After discovering this habit of hers in Black Dragon City, Ren would occasionally buy some desserts to visit her after practicing.

By chance, after walking through a few shops, I came across a shop with a sign called "Miss Gwyneth's Palace Dessert Shop".

Ren looked at the shop, smiled at Ymir and said, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, he ran into the shop.

Seeing this, Ymir was stunned.

Not long after, he watched Ren come out with a bag containing desserts.

Before anyone arrived, she smelled the familiar fragrance of pastries.

Ren opened the package, took out a piece of pink pastry, then stretched out his hand and handed it to Ymir, and said: "I heard that this 'Gwyneth's Peach Blossom Cake' is only sold in Usenbar's shop. Others No matter where you are, money can’t buy it.”

Ymir looked at the familiar pastry in front of him and said in surprise: "How do you know I like to eat this?"

This is indeed her favorite pastry since childhood.

It's a pity that after leaving the imperial capital, I never had it again.

When I came here before, I wanted to take some with me, but I got busy and forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, it was handed to me.

Of course, she didn't know that the pastries she used to eat were bought in this shop.

Renn smiled and said: "I asked the maids. They told me that a certain princess liked this kind of pastry the most and ate several pieces every time. Then they also told me that the store was at 66 Green Street. Number'... "

"Shut up."

Ymir secretly took a sip, not knowing whether to blame the talkative maid again.

She looked at Ren, a strange look appeared in her eyes, and after thinking about it, she said, "You are interested."

It turned out that he came to this street specifically for this pastry shop.

"In the future, when Black Dragon City becomes busy, we will also open a few branches. By then, you will be able to eat pastries in Black Dragon City."

Ren said his plan, smiled and gestured to his raised hand, "Try it?"

"it's here?"

Ymir's beautiful eyes were full of surprise as she looked at Ren, with a questioning look in her eyes.

He handed it to his mouth, obviously not ready for her to take it.

Could it be that he wants to eat it on the street

But...how is this possible

At this moment, Ymir was struggling inside.

The entanglement in her heart made her feel as if she was facing a very difficult choice in her life.

Not to mention the concept of etiquette that the palace etiquette instilled in her from an early age was that nobles should not do things on the street.

Right now, is it too... inappropriate to be fed by a man on the street

This was something she had never experienced before.

An "emergency situation" that has never been encountered before.

This made this legendary powerhouse feel a little at a loss, and there was a trace of inexplicable panic in his heart.

She had never been so intimate with a man, and no one had dared to do such a transgressive thing to her before.

It was at this moment when Ymir was stunned that Ren understood her look and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. It seems that the etiquette of your nobles prohibits eating on the street..."

He muttered something in his mouth, saying that he didn't think carefully enough.

But just as he was about to take his hand back, he noticed a trace of hesitation flashing in Ymir's eyes, but by some strange coincidence, he quietly moved his face towards her.

Then she opened her red lips and quickly bit off a small corner of the pastry. His expression was slightly flustered, and there was a flash of red on his cheeks. I didn't dare to chew the pastry, as if I was a thief, I swallowed it whole.

Ren suddenly looked at the cake in his hand that was missing a corner, and then looked at the pretty face in front of him, blinking his eyes with disbelief.

This was also the first time he saw Ymir in a panic.

She has always given people the impression of being an organized, cold, calm, elegant and calm yuppie...

Even when they first met in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, in a life-threatening situation, Renn didn't see much panic on her face.

Now... eating a piece of pastry, she actually showed such a little girly side

Ren thought for a while, maybe it was the words "you nobles" just now that stimulated her

However, it seems to be a good thing.

Renn smiled and said, "Do you still want to eat?"

The strange look on Ymir's face disappeared in a flash, "I won't eat anymore."

"oh."

Ren looked at the pastry in his hand and felt that it was a pity to lose it, and it seemed not good to put it back in the bag.

Simply, he threw it into his mouth and chewed it. It tasted really good.

"..."

Ymir on the side naturally noticed his move, a strange look flashed on his face, but he didn't say anything.

She couldn't remember exactly when it started, but this shameless guy became more and more presumptuous towards her.

It seems that since he advanced to the third level of Transcendence, his aura has suddenly become very powerful.

Could it be the reason for the "Thunder Tiger Power"

Ymir had never experienced it and couldn't understand it in his mind.

The two walked down the street again.

It seemed that because of what happened just now, both of them remained silent.

But after a moment, Ymir suddenly said something that seemed to have no beginning and no end, and said: "It seems that your understanding of the fist intention has improved again."

"Yes, I have indeed gained some understanding, but I still feel that there is still a small gap."

Ren also said, then turned his eyes and grinned.

The two of them are already quite familiar with each other, and there is a lot of tacit understanding that makes the words unclear.

Of course, he understood that Ymir's words sounded like he was asking about his "invincible fist power", but in fact, he was making fun of his thick skin.

Ymir was not angry after hearing this and rubbed his brows.

... ... .

The two of them wandered on the street for a while, aimlessly.

A huge city with a population of over 10 million, it is impossible to visit it all in just a short while.

As luck would have it, as they were walking, they came to another very famous landmark street in Oma - Yuba Street.

The area where Omar Imperial Capital "Usenbar" is located is rich in coal resources, so the huge Machinery City has not been moved in this area for nearly twenty years.

And here, there are also rich hot spring resources.

Because the Machinery City burns a large amount of coal every day, the air in the city is always filled with light smoke. In order for residents to wash their bodies conveniently, "public baths" were common in various territories, and this gradually became a custom.

Omar Imperial Capital is at the forefront of trends in the world, and it also has the most open "bath culture".

Ren didn't hesitate at all, pointing to the largest bathhouse and said: "Ymir, I want to go to the bathhouse..."

Ymir glanced at him and had to suspect that this guy had a premeditated plan, and said calmly: "If you want to take a bath, there are people in the palace."

Ren said: "The reputation of the unique 'Golden City Bathhouse' in the imperial capital has long spread throughout all major human territories. I heard that people can enjoy it like an emperor. It's hard to come here, why don't you give it a try? ?”

Ymir looked puzzled: "Is there anything special about the emperor's enjoyment? That's it..."

"..."

Ren's face twitched when he heard this.

This slogan is attractive to him, but it seems not attractive to Ymir, the eldest princess who grew up in the palace.

He thought it might as well give it a try, and said again: "I want to give it a try."

"..."

Hearing this, Ymir frowned slightly and was silent for a moment.

It's not like she didn't think it was strange. Bathing in the bath was also a normal lifestyle habit.

Thinking of the tails that had been staring at them from the corner of the street, Ymir's expression remained unchanged and said: "That's fine."
