Transcendent Journey

The battle is over and their city tour plan continues.

Ivan and Krel, who were not injured, walked on the green street in the middle of Newin Harbor.

The tall and slender columns of the Peak Tower in the city, the black Gothic architecture with a strong exotic flavor, squares, churches, theaters, parks, etc. are all telling the city Prosperity and abundance.

The two sides of the avenue are lined with trees, and they are very neat and tidy.

continent countries have suffered several large-scale epidemics in their history. Long ago, under the impetus of the Imperial Family Medical Association, the citizens of the city have realized the close relationship between health and health.

At least in the wealthy districts, administrative districts, church districts, Commerce District and other public areas, the sanitary conditions are still very secure.

In the eyes of Ivan, Newin Harbor, as the largest port city on the west coast of the kingdom, and Gabriel, where the Third Fleet is stationed, can be said to be good at winning.

Gabriel is the kingdom’s closest port city to the new continent, and one of the most important bridgeheads in the great nautical era that began two hundred years ago. Trade and development are the eternal theme here.

Newin Harbor has stronger political functions. This is the residence of the Imperial Naval Academy. It is stationed with the first fleet directly controlled by the Imperial Family. It is also the headquarters of the Adventurers Association and the Sea Hunter Union in Falitis. Where.

“Adventure Association? Sea Hunter Union?”

Under the introduction of Krel, Ivan developed a keen interest in these two civil organizations.

In addition to the logistics and intelligence support of the official own system, these two unions are responsible for introducing crew members, buying and selling intelligence, resource exchange, task release, etc., and they are also the survival of many wild transcenders. Strong backing.

Although the functions of the two families are somewhat overlapping, they often hold a group for warmth. They are huge monsters that even the kingdom officials cannot ignore.

So the prosperity of Newin Harbor brought about by the flow of people is also the inevitable dragons and snakes mingle. Even with the strong suppression of the First Fleet and the Navy Academy, law and order has always been a big headache for the governor.

“Why, are you interested in the Adventurer’s Guild?”

Krel, who was acting as a tour guide, asked when Ivan stopped in front of a magnificent white marble building.

“Although there is a threshold to register as an adventurer, it requires a certain number of years of sailing experience and at least two letters of recommendation from members. But for an official Knight, this is not a problem.

Moreover, the mission hall of the Adventurer’s Guild will release some missions from time to time for members to pick up, ranging from finding people to hunt for pirates, exploring unfamiliar seas, hunting specific enchanted creatures, etc. The rewards are not bad, um, if If you are short of money.”

Krel deserves to be the local tyrant of Newin Harbor, and knows the secrets clearly.

“Let’s talk about it later. After the short training and returning to the fleet, I may not have much time to participate in the expedition.” Ivan only had occasional feelings when he stopped to watch.

After all, more than a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Garrett family started from an ordinary adventurer and built a family from scratch.

The majority of Baron Garrett and male family members of the past are senior members of the Adventurer’s Union.

“By the way, Krel. I heard that the Imperial Naval Academy has a very rich library. Do you know how to qualify for borrowing?” Ivan asked Krel seemingly inadvertently.

“Anyone can enter the public library as long as it is a student. You are talking about the legendary “shadow library” with countless mysterious knowledge, right?

There is indeed such a Locally, any student in the school and the Royal Navy who has obtained a guarantee can apply for borrowing. If they pass the review, they can get a lifetime reading qualification.

Even after graduation, you can come back here to borrow books at any time. “

Ivan just asked casually, didn’t expect Krel to know this place unexpectedly, and apparently had a deep understanding, just listen to him continue to say:

“Just no People know their criteria for judging applicants. There are children who have just enrolled in their teens and are approved as soon as the application is passed. There are also senior professors at the Academy who have been rejected for several decades.

Don’t do it anyway. Hope too much!”

Here, Krel’s face is a bit strange, and it seems that there is a story in the middle.

“Really? I want to give it a try. Anyway, I just write an application. If I fail, there is nothing wrong.” One of the main goals of Ivan entering the Imperial Naval Academy is to enter the library. To make up for their weak and mysterious learning knowledge, naturally impossible to give up casually.

“Well, the management office of the shadow library is on the 7th floor of the clock tower. You need to submit the application in person, and someone will take care of it.

In fact, this is in the Academy. Chinese is not a secret. If the outstanding students in the Academy are recognized by the professor, they will be informed of the existence of the shadow library.

It’s just that although it is located inside the Academy, it has a completely parallel relationship with the school. Although my grandfather used to be a professor at the Academy, he didn’t know much about this library. It can be said that it is one of the most mysterious places in the Academy.”

Krel did not He poured cold water on Ivan and told him all the information he knew, but he was obviously not very optimistic about him.

The following tour continues, but just walk around and Guanhua has a general understanding of the city. After having lunch together to draw up the relationship, the two quickly returned to the Academy.

Short training will begin soon, and it is time to make the necessary preparations.

……

“Step on.. Step on.. Step on..”

In the darkness, Ivan held a letter carefully prepared Step by step on the stone platform of the clock tower.

The clock tower constructs a circle of stone steps along the granite wall. Each floor has only a small window the size of a head. Even if the oil lamp is lit, it is filled with a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.

People can’t help but slow down their breathing, so as not to disturb the terrifying existence that is sleeping in the dark.

Only the 2nd day of visiting the city, Ivan, who has obtained information from Krel, has no patience to wait any longer, and submits a loan application as soon as possible before the start of school.

He can’t wait to embrace the mysterious wizard world…

Continuously up the stairs.

Walk all the way to the end of the steps on the seventh floor, in front of the oak-clad copper gate with a very chronological feel.

The heavy wooden door is engraved with a large violet relief sculpture, and there is an eye radiating rays of light in the middle of the vivid violet flower. It is not like a meaningless decoration, but more like a one. A symbolic sign with mysterious meaning.

Staring at this pattern for a while, Ivan didn’t find the corresponding thing in his memory, and didn’t think much about it, and knocked on the door lightly.

dong, dong, dong…

“Come in, the door is unlocked!” A hoarse voice sounded behind the door like iron friction, almost beyond the human vocal cords The limit of the timbre that can be produced is very uncomfortable in the ears.

With the nerve tolerance that Ivan thinks is acceptable, it still feels like thousands of ants rustling through the ears, shivering.

Before seeing anyone, he already had some bad associations with the existence behind the door. Just glanced at the application in his hand, Ivan brace oneself, opened the door and walked in.

Squeaky——
