Cliffor looked stunned and asked, "That's right, what's wrong?"

It's a small world, Renard thought.

The reason why the scum Renard was bombed home from the Academy of Constantinople for reflection was because he peeked at a girl named Ariel taking a shower, and was not only severely beaten by her suitors, but also stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Is it so coincidental that those suitors were so powerful that they used all their means to rush back to Fort St. Brieu?

Renard looked at Cliver again, and began to wonder if the beautiful girl in his memory could be this guy's species?

"How many gold coins do you send each year?" he asked.

"Ten gold coins, what's wrong?" Clifford grimaced, "If I hadn't just sent the money, would I have been so poor?"

"That shouldn't be. Renard relaxed slightly, after all, he had the impression that Ariel wore gold and silver, and her outfit was worth at least dozens of gold coins, which was not something that an old mercenary could provide.

Besides, ten gold coins a year is only enough for tuition, and Cliffor's daughter must be miserable.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should help the other party when he went to the Academy of Constantinople this time, and that a beautiful girl should not suffer.

At the Academy of Constantinople, whenever Renard thought of these words, he couldn't help but feel sarcasm in his heart.

It is said that it is the top university in the mainland, but in fact it is just a gilded place for the aristocracy, and all the children of the poor families who really study are turned away from the high walls, even if there are poor people who are lucky enough to enter it, they will still only become the laughing stock of everyone's shame and humiliation.

And a noble child like him, as long as he is not from a famous family in a powerful empire, will also become a pariahs in the eyes of others, for people to humiliate wantonly, after all, people have that qualification.

Located in the distant capital of the Empire of Constantinople, the Academy of Constantinople is also known as the Imperial Academy of Constantinople, and its place in the empire is evident from its name.

And the power of the Constantinople Empire is almost unimaginable to ordinary people, I am afraid that only the Ållhotz dynasty, which has been destroyed for hundreds of years, can compare with it, and the current Arthurian kingdom is just two provinces before the collapse of the Ållhotz dynasty.

Unlike the Kingdom of Arthur, the Empire of Constantinople was a centralized state, and it was founded for seven or eight hundred years, with a solid regime, with a total land area of 10 million square kilometers and a population of 240 million.

According to the memory of the scum Renard, it was the most powerful state in the entire northern continent, even more powerful than the Papal States established by the Northern See.

If the other party's memory is true, then the Kingdom of Arthur, with a land area of only 860,000 square kilometers and a total population of less than 30 million, is indeed not even qualified to carry shoes for people.

Because of the strong backing of the Constantinople Empire, the Academy of Constantinople has become the most famous and prosperous university in the whole continent.

The Academy of Constantinople originally served only the nobility of the Constantinople Empire, offering three major disciplines: martial arts, magic, and military affairs.

A hundred years ago, the Empire of Constantinople went to war with the Moldon Empire, which was also a continental power, and began to lower the recruitment standards in order to expand the talent level, so that civilians could also enter the academy.

The tragic war lasted for more than 30 years, and the two empires fought in a unique way, with as many as 30 vassal states participating in the war, and finally it slowly evolved into a continental war.

In order to win over neutral countries to participate in the war, the two empires made their own strange moves, and the Constantinople Empire used the opening of the Academy of Constantinople as a bargaining chip to win over the Olehoz dynasty, of course, other concessions in interests are unknown to ordinary people.

The outcome of the war was unexpected, and the two empires fought for more than thirty years, resulting in the destruction of countless vassal states.

The worst of all was the Olehoz dynasty, whose ruler was incompetent and overjoyed, and wanted to take the opportunity to be promoted to a superpower, but declared war on the six surrounding countries at the same time, only to divide and disintegrate before conquering the other countries.

After the war, in order to ensure that its position as the southern overlord would not waver, the Empire of Constantinople still kept its promise, and the twelve countries that split from the Olehotz dynasty were eligible to enter the Academy of Constantinople for both nobles and commoners.

Therefore, a large number of talents from more than a dozen countries, including Arthur's Kingdom, enter the Academy of Constantinople every year, but very few can return from their studies.

Having seen the power and richness of the Constantinople Empire, who would want to return to the backwoods?

Of course, studying at the Academy of Constantinople was not as simple as it seemed, at least not for the citizens of Arthur's kingdom.

If you want to set off from Arthur's kingdom to the Constantinople Empire, you have to pass through six kingdoms, two principalities, and then cross the Hengduan Mountains, the Boleton steppe, and the Great Rift Valley of the Red River, so as to enter the territory of the Constantinople Empire.

This was only the westernmost point of the Empire of Constantinople, and if you wanted to go to the imperial capital of Constantinople in the east, you would have to pass through four provinces larger than the kingdom of Arthur.

If you ride a horse day and night without any trouble, it will take you a year to arrive, and it is almost impossible to avoid trouble.

First of all, the six kingdoms to pass through were also derived from the division of the Alerhotz dynasty, and they were completely hostile to the kingdom of Arthur.

Both principalities, which had been affected by the wars provoked by the Aleshoz dynasty, would not welcome the people of Arthur's kingdom, or even all the former Aleshoz people.

Second, the Boleton Grassland is the territory of the orcs, and it is even more difficult to slip under the noses of tens of millions of orcs than to ascend to the sky.

As for crossing the Hengduan Mountains, it is really equivalent to climbing to the sky, after all, the highest peak of the Hengduan Mountains is more than 8,000 meters above sea level, and the lowest peak is also four or five thousand meters high.

The Hengduan Mountains are covered in snow all year round, and even the strongest orcs will have to pay a lot to plunder Constantinople through the Hengduan Mountains.

The same is true of the Red River Rift Valley, which is thousands of kilometers long, tens of kilometers wide at its widest point, and thousands of kilometers deep.

Of course, this is not to say that the people of Arthur's kingdom were completely out of reach of the Academy of Constantinople, because at least there was a sea route to choose from.

The thousand-mile border of Nanhuang County is all coastline, especially the endless port in the east, although it is a military port, it does not prohibit ships from docking to unload goods, but local trade is not allowed.

As a result, merchant ships from various countries would dock here, either to replenish supplies or to transport goods.

Cruise ships to and from the Empire of Constantinople dock several times a month, and for enough money, they can bring you safely to the Empire of Constantinople.

However, the cost of the journey is not affordable for ordinary people, at least two gold coins, note that it is a gold coin, I am afraid that many people do not eat or drink for half their lives and do not praise so much money.

As a descendant of a nobleman, Renard's monthly living expenses are only fifty silver coins.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously touched the space ring, and there was a magic crystal card and more than a dozen silver coins lying quietly inside, which were all his belongings.
