Chapter 59: The City of Cecil
As the capital of Noonan, Cecil City is naturally the most prosperous and beautiful.
It sits on a high mountain, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, a full 500 square kilometers, and millions of people live here!
With such a large population, it is naturally not enough to rely on the main city located on the top of the hill, and at the same time, in order to reduce the traffic pressure of Cecil City, several acropolis have been set up around it.
Although the scale of the Acropolis is not as large as the main city, it is also equivalent to the scale of Blue Moon City, among which there are nearly 100,000 long-term residents......
Three acropolises surround the city of Cecil, defending the main city while screening and inspecting people and things who want to enter the main city......
Due to the huge population movement, caravans or adventurers who did not have a background to stay in Cecil City had to wait for the night in the Acropolis to facilitate the review of the main city guards......
I have to say that even Yang Chen, who has seen high-rise buildings for a long time, was still shocked when he saw Cecil City, and at that moment, he was still deeply shocked when he saw the dense flow of people coming and going, the wild road paved by marble slabs, and the tall and magnificent palace buildings!
Chris and Ciri's faces were the same, but you could still see a little pride and pride on their faces!
In addition to the strict ground control in Cecil City, there are also flying eagle squads and a few griffin knights in the sky who are responsible for inspecting and driving away the magical beasts that set foot in the sky above Cecil City, or casting spells and warriors riding flying magical beasts.
Cecil City, which is the political and economic center of Noonan, can be understood no matter how strict Yang Chen is, but when he sees the noble spellcaster landing under the coercion of the guards, Yang Chen was still a little surprised in his heart.
Along the way, Yang Chen really hadn't seen a few spellcasters, whether they were low-level or high-level, they rarely seemed to hang out outside.
But this time when I came to Cecil, I found that it seemed that the entire Nonan spellcaster was here.
Among the three acropolises, there are mage towers towering high, and in the main city, there is a large group of mage towers! At a glance, there are no less than a hundred!
Although Yang Chen had not been in this world for a few days, he also knew that not all mages could build their own mage towers!
In addition to requiring a level above a high-level mage, you also need to be rich!
The most humble mage towers cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins to pile up!
Therefore, when Yang Chen saw that there was actually a group of mage towers near the center of the main city, his heart was extremely shocked!
"That's the Academy ......of Magic," Chris explained when he saw the surprise in Yang Chen's eyes.
"Senior, can you take us over there to have a look?" Yang Chen was a little curious, wanting to take a closer look at what the Magic Academy was like.
"Ahem. A hint of embarrassment appeared on Chris's face, "Where, you can't just go ......"
Yang Chen was even more surprised, "Isn't it even good to be a senior?"
"No......" Chris didn't want to admit it, but he really didn't dare to break into the Academy of Magic.
He explained slightly, "There are strong people in the Academy of Magic who have set up a ban, and it's not that students in this academy can't approach casually. ”
Yang Chen became interested, "That senior is so powerful, can you break that ban?"
"......" Chris was silent, although he was at the peak of Haoyue, even if he was only one step away from Ori, even if there was no dean of the Ori realm in that mage tower community to guard it personally, he didn't dare to break the magic ban anywhere......
Not only will he be reprimanded by the domain lord and the dean in the future, but more importantly, he is not sure if he will be able to leave safely after breaking the ban of the magic academy.
Those hundreds of mage towers are not as simple as they seem, they are the accumulation of the magic academy for so many years, and not just a teacher is qualified to establish or inherit a mage tower.
If Chris turned his heart on the side and gritted his teeth to break the academy ban, then he would definitely be defeated by the union of hundreds of mages and Tataring!
You won't necessarily die, but you won't feel good either!
Taling doesn't care who you are, as long as someone dares to invade the magic academy, he will gather all his strength to destroy the invaders under the arranged instructions!
And Yang Chen couldn't help but shake his head for a while when he saw that Chris didn't speak, as if to say that Chris was blowing his own power every day but couldn't even break the ban.
Seeing this, Ciri chuckled on the sidelines.
Chris's face couldn't help but change for a while, and he said to Yang Chen, "What do you know? I'm just giving the Academy of Magic a face!"
Yang Chen nodded noncommittally.
Changing the subject, he said, "Cecil City is really majestic!"
"Of course!" Chris looked up proudly, waved his finger, and said, "This hill is Cecil City!"
Seeing that Yang Chen didn't speak, Chris introduced again, "Cecil City is divided into three areas, the outermost is the residential area, where millions of residents live, and the commercial area further in, not only has all kinds of prosperous shops, but also has a number of professional unions here, including the Alchemist's Guild......"
When talking about the Alchemist's Guild, Chris paused slightly, and seeing that Yang Chen did not react, he continued to introduce, "In the commercial area, in addition to the many guilds, there are also several churches. As he spoke, he pointed to a quiet place in the business district!
"Oh?" Yang Chen was a little interested, he had been in the other world for a long time, but he hadn't seen too many people believing in religion, and he had seen a dilapidated Bright Church in Blue Star Town before, but Yang Chen had not found a similar church building in the more advanced Blue Moon City. At this time he saw the church again in the city of Cecil, and it seemed that there was more than one.
"We have three different churches in Cecil City, which belong to the Church of the God of Light, the Church of the Goddess of Commerce, and the Church of the Goddess of Life......" Seeing that Yang Chen was interested, Chris said a few more words.
When Yang Chen heard the names of these churches, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said half-curiously and half-tentatively, "It looks a little desolate, and no one believes in it!"
Chris didn't seem to know what to say for a moment, sighed and said, "How can anyone still believe in the gods......!
Yang Chen's heart was shocked when he heard that the gods had abandoned humans, but his face was still silent, and he asked with some curiosity, "What about the church of the three gods in Cecil City?"
"So...... They're a bunch of respectable people!" Chris said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
Yang Chen was a little puzzled, and even Ciri turned his head curiously.
"Thousands of years ago, our continent was ruled by the gods, and all kinds of transcendent paths were also the ways of the gods to cultivate believers! As long as they conform to the teachings of the gods and act close to the rules mastered by the gods, then ......they can obtain the abilities given by the gods!" Just ......"
"With the departure of the gods thousands of years ago, the priests who believe in the gods gradually do not perceive the blessings and responses of the gods, and the supernatural power gradually collapses from the body...... Although there are still people who adhere to the belief in the gods, as time goes on, from generation to generation, the gods gradually become legends, and because there are no miracles to reveal and the gods to respond, and the power of the gods to be lost, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the gods......"
"But...... I've seen a priest from the Church of Light perform healing techniques before......" Yang Chen couldn't help but interrupt as he recalled the priest he had seen in Bluestar Town before.
"That's right, just because you don't get the blessings of the gods doesn't mean you can't be priests......," Chris said with a complicated expression.
"Huh?" Ciri and Yang Chen glanced at each other, both of them seeing puzzlement in each other's eyes. Since the priest is blessed by the gods, how can people become pastors when the gods abandon the believers and do not respond?
"After that......" Speaking of this, Yang Chen saw the look of admiration flashing in Chris's eyes, "Someone found that although the gods are gone, as long as they abide by the doctrine for decades and use their actual hearts to chase the origin of the world in the hands of the gods, then even if there are no gods and no blessings from the gods, they can communicate with the source of power held by the gods before, so as to comprehend the divine arts and become a priest......"
"This ......" Yang Chen and Xi Li looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked for a while.
Take the Church of Light, for example, whose doctrine is to help people dispel darkness, bring hope and light, and spread love and justice. For the priest, it is even stricter, and there must not be the slightest selfish desire and darkness in the heart, otherwise he will not be able to obtain the power given by the source of light, and he will not be able to advance to the transcendental! Therefore, then a transcendent who is recognized by the light must be filled with truth, goodness, beauty, and the desire for light!"
Yang Chen couldn't help but think of the old pastor he saw before, if he didn't give money, he wouldn't be treated, and the fee was expensive...... Does this have anything to do with truth, goodness, beauty, and selfless dedication? But the old man is still a transcendent, a true priest of light!
So, Yang Chen told Chris what the old pastor who wanted money to do was done.
"......" Chris's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and his face was a little surprised, he couldn't understand for a moment how such a person could become the pastor of the Church of Light......
"Are you sure he's doing healing? Are you sure you're seeing a dazzling white light......?"
Yang Chen thought about it for a while, and nodded affirmatively, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the person named Bruce who is under Ciri's hand to ask......
Bruce ...... Already dead...... ...... in Blue Moon City," Ciri on the side interjected in a low voice.
When Yang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, pursed his lips, and said, "Yes......"
He looked at Chris, who was muttering to himself and repeating the words he shouldn't have said, then at Ciri, who had his head down and felt that he had said the wrong thing, and finally turned his head to look northwest......
Is it dead......
