During the time of the Third Age of Apocalypse, there were not many truly huge imperial battles in the Blood Flame Continent.

After the wars and destruction of the first two epochs, almost all kings and monarchs found that it was the best and safest way to recuperate and expand secretly. The deterrence of force is far better than directly punching and kicking.

At this point, more research associations, martial arts halls, and some large empire-funded academies sprung up.

Cultivating talents has become one of the most enthusiastic things for many imperial monarchs. Compared with the undead demons and immortal bloodlines with low fertility, the growth of talents is the greatest reliance that human beings can continue to rely on to overlook the world.

The Jaya Empire is one of the three most powerful empires in the Bloodflame Continent, with the largest land area and the most rigorous hierarchy. There are as many as 17 people who have conferred the title of duke, and the rest of the marquis and baronies are countless, and there are 3 grand duchies that are affiliated with the Jaya Empire.

Of the three empires, Monique, the capital of the Jaya Empire, is the closest giant city to the Akhts.

Naturally, the Akhets, like other small countries and tribes within a radius of thousands of kilometers, sent their best young people there to be trained.

Garold College is one of those prestigious colleges. There is no specific age limit, and as long as you can afford to pay for tuition, it is open to everyone.

It's just that the academic year is divided into three semesters, and each semester requires a high tuition fee of 20 gold coins, which is not affordable by ordinary families.

For the Blood Flame Continent, 100 copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and 10 silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin. 20 gold coins is equivalent to the entire income of a baron with the title of knight for half a year.

Time flies, and soon it's time for Ives to get back on campus. The time for the start of school in the spring is very close.

The Garod College curriculum is very loose, and as long as you are able to complete the established basic courses in literature, history, law, and theology by the age of 20, you can continue your studies from elementary to advanced colleges.

At the same time, there will be some non-compulsory elective courses such as basic magic, fighting skills, mechanics, etc. Upon completion of all programs, a bachelor's degree in relevant skills is awarded.

"My dear Avis, you don't have to worry about the tribal affairs, with me and my mother here. You can continue to do your research with peace of mind!"

Wright's usual big grin has already taken out the baggage that needs to be picked up, ready to send it thousands of miles away.

"Brother, you don't need to send it, it's not like I haven't been there. Having Chirivel with me was enough. ”

Avis chuckled softly as he pointed to the young man beside him. God knows, if he doesn't stop him, Wright will probably accompany him all the way to Monique City.

"Well, take care of yourself, the god Ackert will bless you. ”

Wright stroked the back of his head and smiled. Then he yelled at Chiriwell, who was also smirking at him. "Boy, protect our Avis, he's missing a hair, I'm the only one you ask. ”

"Yes!"

A young boy with soft gray-brown hair patted his chest and reassured.

Chiriwell Alkert, 13 years old this year, although he is thin, he is very tall, and his height of 1.8 meters is almost catching up with the tall Wright.

He is the most gifted child of the Ackert clan after Avis and Wright. When he was 10 years old, he successfully became a cultivator of the Xuantie Realm, and under Wright's careful teaching, he is now a Bronze Mirror 6th Order warrior, which can be regarded as outstanding.

Patriarch Ainia's original intention was to let the young Chirivel also enter the Garold Academy to further his studies.

It's just that after this battle with the Limu country, the clan used almost all of their savings and the compensation money of the Limu country to compensate the soldiers who died in the battle.

The tuition fee of 20 gold coins is really not enough to afford the second person.

Ives glanced at the freckled and serious little guy with a freckled face, and he was secretly worried.

"Let's see if there's a chance this time. If you can, let Chirivel come with you. If it weren't for this disaster, he would have been able to make a splash in Monique. ”

Rarely, this time, Avis's mother, the patriarch of Ainia, was also personally delivered to the village gate. You must know that in the previous study trip, his mother was at most at the last meal before going out, and with a little encouragement, it was considered a farewell.

"Avis, seize the opportunity, you are the most gifted magician of our Akt people in hundreds of years, and Mother believes that you can bring our race back to its former glory. ”

Instead of wearing the linen gown she was accustomed to, Ania was wearing a plain wool shirt with wide-legged wide-leg pants in cotton jersey, and it was clear that she did not see this send-off as a task within the clan, but only a mother's deep love for her child.

"Yes, Mother, I promise the great god Ackert that I will try. ”

Avis beats his chest with his right hand, which is the most pious ritual of the tribe.

Knowing that his mother meant that he should work hard to discover the secret of Yanyan Stone, he didn't dare to slack off, and after making a quick statement, he hurriedly embarked on the trip.

The Akts are about two days away from the city of Monique. In order to save as much as possible, the two did not choose to hire a carriage.

After all, as cultivators, the two of them were far stronger than ordinary people, and walking more was not tiring.

"Mr. Avis, your branch attack that day was really powerful. When will I be able to become a great cultivator like you?"

There was nothing to do all the way, and the two of them would chat a few words when they had nothing to do to relieve their fatigue.

"Just wait until you reach the Golden Realm. ”

Avis replied with a smile. The kid Chiriwell is a very enthusiastic kid, and both himself and Wright love the kid.

"Alas, how long will it take? Last time, I heard Mr. Wright say that there are only a handful of people in the Blood Flame Continent who can reach the Golden Realm, when will I be able to withstand this talent?"

Chirivel sighed as he lifted his shoulders and moved their luggage onto their shoulders.

"Don't be discouraged, I see you kid okay! Haha, at least it's better than my big brother's talent, you know, Wright has just stepped into the bronze mirror when you're your age." ”

Avis said with a smile. Signal to Sevenever, the stunned young man, don't sneak up on Wright.

"Mr. Avis, how big is Monique City? I heard that there are the most advanced weapons and armor there. I've heard that there are also improved Vulcan guns, really?"

When Cirivel mentioned entering the city, he immediately came to his senses. When I knew that I could accompany Ives into Monique City, I was excited for a few nights. Today, there are faint traces of dark circles next to the eyes.

"Really, if you're lucky, you might even see the legendary artillery car. When we have time, we can go to some military research institutes and have a look. ”

Avis said with a smile. Not to mention Chirivel, even he was quite interested in the earliest artillery vehicles that could move.

"Really, Mr. Avis, that's decided, and we'll have to check it out if we have time. ”

Cilivel habitually put his right hand to his heart and said loudly.

"Yes, dear little Chiri. Like, you have to pay attention to my package, there are a lot of rare materials in it. It's broken, you kid will have to be cleaned up by Wright when you go back!"

Avis lifted his shoulders and tightened his wrap a bit, smiling at Chilliwell, who was carrying the parcel on his back.

......

In the evening, they found a nearby village and rested for the night, and the next day, when the sun was just out, Avis and Chirivel were already on the outskirts of Monique City, and were about to arrive.

"Mr. Avis, is that the wall? I've heard that the noble nobles have a huge and ornate castle, but what is it? and I can see those black cylinders erected on the wall, are they cannons?"

Chirivel shouted excitedly, pointing. I was curious about everything I saw.

"Yes, here we are, this is the wall of Monique. ”

Ives brushed aside his long golden hair, which was blown by the morning breeze, and watched a huge city unfold in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

He was not as amazed as Cliffell, but simply amazed that he could see such a great building again.

"Let's go! I have to report to the academy first! I have to arrange a place for you to live. There's a lot to do. No further delay. ”

After a few minutes, Ives grabbed Chirivel, who still wanted to admire, and walked with him to the gates of Monique City.
