Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 845 - 805: Imperial City of Youguo

Lin Yi had actually known this for a while.

For instance, in the army Leng Yu belonged to, apart from her wearing a suit of Silver Armor, the other officers only wore Iron Armor, while most of them wore Leather Armor.

Of course, soldiers in Cloth Armor like the ones standing under the city gate were something Lin Yi was seeing for the first time.

This might be because the area where Leng Yu was stationed was relatively dangerous, being on the border, so their soldiers were uniformly equipped with Leather Armor for better defense.

In inland cities like the Capital City, Cloth Armor was the norm.

This approach both provided better protection and saved substantial costs.

Such a win-win situation was the best solution the current court could come up with.

This was within the Capital City; if it were in more remote defenses, even mid-level Generals would only be wearing Leather Armor.

The reason for this was entirely because the iron forging technology of this era was not quite mature, let alone the steel forging technology.

Even the Armor that Leng Yu wore had just undergone a few more rounds of forging, as for its toughness.

Compared to the Alloy Armor of future generations, the difference was like night and day.

Not to mention the Alloy Armor of the future, even the hardness of iron from the future was much stronger than it is now.

Of course, one key point is that the destructive power of weapons in current society is generally not particularly strong, and there are no super-enhanced hot weapons like in the future.

Because of this, even armor of that strength can effectively defend against the lethality of arrows.

Without the addition of hot weapons, there's simply no need for Alloy Armor.

Viewing these armors, Lin Yi saw them as no different from those made of paper.

Just casually take out some hot weapons from the System Space, and they could easily pierce through both person and armor.

With the end of recent battles, Leng Yu had already taken off that set of Armor, and now he was not wearing Armor but plain attire.

Nevertheless, the plain clothes he wore were far more luxurious than those worn by ordinary people nowadays.

After all, regardless of anything, she was the daughter of a Border Army Garrison General, and she was the apple of the eye, so having such possessions was not surprising.

But even though this was considered quite good in current society, Lin Yi found it not presentable at all.

Although this outfit wasn't made of ordinary cloth but brocade, the dyeing technology today lagged significantly behind that of the future.

That's precisely why, although the clothes were dyed a faint cyan, the purity of the color was quite lacking.

Of course, now wasn't the time to observe these things.

Lin Yi walked directly toward the main gate with Leng Yu.

To his surprise, different from what he imagined, the Guard at this moment didn't pay any attention to the two of them. They didn't even take a second look.

This made Lin Yi very curious, as in the dramas, entering and leaving city gates always required strict inspections, right?

Especially in an Imperial City, inspections should be even more rigorous.

Weren't they afraid of assassins infiltrating the city?

However, upon reflection, it made sense; after all, television is television. Unlike novel television, in reality, weapons are not so easily acquired.

Weapons of destructive power are even harder to obtain; large bows or long knives can be noticed at a glance without detailed inspection to determine if they're being carried.

As for carrying a short knife or dagger, what's the harm?

Would you believe someone could assassinate a high court official with just a short knife or dagger?

You have to understand that for high court officials, they're always accompanied by many people, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to approach, let alone assassinate.

This is for the court officials; as for attempting to assassinate the King, that's even more fantastical.

Firstly, the King doesn't simply wander around idly, and secondly, your little weapon wouldn't hold up against the King's Imperial Guard. As soon as you reveal it, countless long knives would fall upon you.

That's why they're not worried about assassins at all.

Besides, according to Lin Yi's understanding, martial arts figures like those in novels didn't exist in this society.

Forget those almighty cultivation techniques that are always "utterly terrifying," even people with basic martial arts skills were few and far between.

Take Lao Liu from Leng Yu's army for example, he looked simple-minded but was very strong physically.

It was nothing for him to fight ten people on his own; such a person was considered an extraordinary talent.

Additionally, as long as the common folk could fill their bellies, that was good enough. Who had the energy to practice martial arts?

There's an old saying for this: it takes wealth to excel in martial arts.

This fully illustrates that practicing martial arts requires a strong financial backing; without a decent family background, aspiring to martial arts skills is a pipe dream.

If you can't even afford food, how could you practice martial arts?

The time spent practicing martial arts would be better spent cutting wood in the mountains to exchange for money to buy grain.

"What's wrong? Why is Young Master Lin in a daze?"

While pondering, Lin Yi was suddenly pulled back to reality by Leng Yu gently tugging at his sleeve, her warm voice echoing in his ear.

This also pulled Lin Yi out of his thoughts. He shook his head with a smile, said it was nothing, and then walked with Leng Yu through the city gates.

Once inside the city, a very wide avenue came into view, with a width of about a hundred meters.

This was not often seen in the real world.

Perhaps only the road in front of Tiananmen could compare.

However, the road was wide, but there were no stalls on either side.

Only bustling crowds walked by quickly.

"Why are the pedestrians here in such a hurry? The road is so wide, and yet there are no street vendors?"

Hearing Leng Yu's voice, Lin Yi subconsciously voiced his doubts.

Based on what he had imagined before...
