Star Crown City, the royal capital of the Star Crown Kingdom, has been like this since the founding of the country. It is said to be a city, but it is much larger than an ordinary city, more than three times that of the Heavenly Dragon City. As the largest city in the kingdom, it is also the most economically and culturally prosperous, with countless caravans coming and going every day.

The city is roughly divided into several areas, and in the middle of the city is a large area of markets, shops and residential areas, which occupy about one-third of the total area, and is also known as the main city. To the east is the Star Crown Academy, which is only a lake away from the main city, and as the largest academy in the kingdom, it covers an area similar to the main city.

In the west, a small area has been demarcated, which is the Star Crown Noble Academy, because the number of students in the school is usually only three or four thousand, so the campus area is not large, even so, the college still seems relatively empty. Although the place is small, the people in it are basically the leaders of the younger generation of the kingdom, in addition to some descendants of the royal family and nobles, there are also many powerful people on the famous side and the children of businessmen on the rich side.

In the northernmost part of Starcrown City stands an imposing fortress, which is the Star Castle, the core of the Starcrown Kingdom and the location of the ruler. The city wall made of white jade reflects a dazzling light under the sunlight, a huge square in front of the star castle seems very empty, usually this place is not open, there are well-trained soldiers stationed on the periphery, preventing idle people and others from entering, even if someone insists on breaking in, more than 100,000 troops and strong people in the star castle have let them have no return.

With the Star Castle as the boundary, there is a large piece of land in the rear, which is one of the direct territories of the royal family, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter, it is said that the birds and flowers in it are fragrant, and the four seasons have different flavors, just like the fairyland of the human world. That land has always remained mysterious, like a royal family's exclusive back garden.

This is the general situation of the royal capital, the forces in the city are complicated, not only the power of the kingdom, but also some organizations in the shadows, including the Corona Empire, the Republic of the Apocalypse, the assassination union, and the intelligence network of the Dawn Organization, but they don't dare to make too big a move, and if they are not careful, they may be uprooted. It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that this is still a living camel, but once the situation in the kingdom changes, these forces will also stab the kingdom in the back.

"It's finally here. Long Ling sat on the ground horse beast cart, looked at the towering city wall, and moved the sore body sitting in the car, these days Long Ling has been in the car except for the necessary rest, not only is he bored, but the bones on his body are about to loosen.

After being inspected by the city gate, Long Ling entered the city in a car. After getting out of the car, Long Ling stopped a person and asked where there was a map for sale, and the person didn't dare to slack off when he saw the purple-level mercenary token on Long Ling's waist, and pointed out the nearby map shop. Long Ling thanked him, and after finding it, he spent two Venus Coins to buy a very detailed map.

Because before leaving, Long Yunxiao said that after letting Long Ling come to the royal capital, he would first report to the Star Crown Noble Academy. Although the admission requirements of Xingguan Noble Academy are strict, the management is relaxed, generally as long as you sign up, even if you are enrolled, what courses you want to take after admission, or what you want to do, as long as you don't break the law, no one cares. Even if you don't come to class all the time, you won't be punished, as long as you pass the promotion assessment once a year, and you will be considered a graduate after passing four times.

However, the students who come to the Star Crown Noble Academy, except for a very few gentlemen, generally choose to take classes, after all, the people who come to teach them are either the powers of the kingdom or the scholars with rich knowledge, who can be selected to improve their strength, or build a good relationship, so as to provide convenience for them to contact them after graduation.

Long Ling deliberately entered the city from the southwest gate, so that he could first report to the Star Crown Noble Academy, and then go to the Star Crown Academy to register.

After the guidance of the map, Long Ling passed through one bustling street after another, and finally came to the location of the academy.

To Long Ling's surprise, the academy didn't even have a school gate, only a large stone tablet with the name of the school engraved in golden font. And what made Long Ling feel strange was that in a place one or two hundred meters away from the stone monument of the Star Crown Noble Academy, commerce was prosperous, with all kinds of shops and restaurants, but the distance in front was empty, and he could see everything at a glance. A plaque is inserted on the side of the avenue, and the crooked font on it reads "Idlers are not allowed to enter", just such an ordinary plaque seems to make ordinary people dare not enter easily, forming two distinct boundaries.

Long Ling crossed the plaque and walked towards the inside of the academy.

"Is this the son-in-law of any family?"

"Who knows, it can't be a newcomer who doesn't know the rules, right?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm going to die again today. ”

............

Long Ling didn't walk for long, and there was still some distance from the stone stele, and a team of patrolling royal soldiers came over not far away. Although the soldiers saw Long Ling, they did not go up to interrogate or anything, and continued to patrol with neat steps.

Long Ling continued to walk, crossed the stone monument, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and behind the stone monument was a basin. Looking down, a river flows from afar, like an island in the water.

Several large staircases run from the basin to the ground, and several small bridges are erected over the creek, connecting the inner and outer rings. In addition to the houses in the middle, there are a series of houses scattered around, green is the main tone, and the houses are of different forms, dotted on the island, which seems to be unique and interesting.

"It seems like the environment is not bad. Long Ling said. Although the stairs were long, no one would go down step by step stupidly, and it took Long Ling a minute or two to jump down to the bottom.

"It's actually a step made of iron rock, 5 gold star coins a pound of iron rock, how much does it cost to make these steps!" Long Ling looked back at the steps and said in surprise. The slab is made of iron rock, which is so hard that no normal attack can destroy it. Usually blacksmiths and foundries will try to cut it into powder and add it to blunt objects to make it harder. The price of this material has always been high in the market, and the luxury of being able to make such a big step with this material can be imagined.

"It's a luxury. Long Ling sighed, and then took a step and walked inside.

Walking across the small bridge, a group of soldiers was standing beside them, and a soldier stepped out of the nearby post and said respectfully: "My lord, please show your pass." ”

Long Ling naturally didn't have any passes, and said, "I just came to sign up today, and there are no passes. ”

"I see. He pointed to a soldier and said, "Lin Yi, you take this adult to the Zhengxin Palace." ”

"Yes. A soldier walked out, came to Long Ling and said, "My lord, keep walking towards this road, please." ”

Long Ling nodded and stepped onto the avenue in the woods, while the soldiers kept a small distance behind Long Ling, watching Long Ling's every move.

Isn't that what surveillance?

Long Ling didn't care, anyway, he just signed up and didn't want to do anything.

After walking for a while, a small three-story building appeared in sight, with a plaque hanging on the door, which read "Zhengxin Temple", and the door was open, and an old man could be seen writing something on the counter.

Long Ling stepped into the door, there was a lot of space inside, the old man's position was a circular counter in the middle, there were many chairs placed around him, in addition to the old man, several staff members and several gorgeously dressed young men and girls were sitting on the side chatting.

The soldier stood aside, solemn, as if waiting for the old man to finish what he was doing.

"Yan Zhen, do you know him?" said the silver man not far away to the man sitting across from him.

"I don't know. Yan Strike said.

"There are still people that the three young people of Yancheng don't know?"

"Shui Fu, there are so many people in the kingdom, is it possible that I want to know them all? As far as I know, among the people who will enroll in this year's school, only the three provinces of Tianlong Mansion, Shi Lei Mansion and Senluo Mansion will have people enrolled. As for the other forces, I really don't know much about them. ”

"Do you think he will be one of the three mansions?" Shui Fu looked at Long Ling with interest.

"You want to know what to ask. ”

"I'm not in a hurry, there are many opportunities to meet in the future. But some people can't bear it. Shui Fu drank the tea in his hand and said.

Long Ling stepped forward and said, "That, I'm here to enroll, where can I go through the formalities?"

"Hey, this kid doesn't even know Mo Lao. Mizufu seemed a little surprised.

Yan Zhen just glanced at Long Ling and didn't speak.

The old man stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "I am the one who handles the admission." ”

"Hello old man, how do I get in." Long Ling said.

"Just give me your identity token. ”

Long Ling has two identity tokens, one is the token of Long Ling's identity in Tianlong Mansion, and the other is Ji Kai, an ordinary person who has joined the mercenary union. Long Ling took out his own identity token and handed it to the old man, this token style is different from ordinary tokens, the silver card, a dragon on it is lifelike, it is a badge that symbolizes the Tianlong Mansion.

The old man took the token and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the little guy from Tianlong Mansion, and the old guy who returned to Longhui has been doing well recently." ”

Long Ling was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him actually knew his grandfather, and said, "Mr. Xie cares, grandpa is in good health,"

"That's fine, haha. As he spoke, the old man handed the token to Long Ling and said, "After the process is completed, the academy only needs to confirm the token to the guards." ”

Long Ling took the token, he could feel a special aura on the token, thanked him, and turned his head to leave. The old man picked up the pen again and was writing something.

This old man is so powerful, he can perfectly control his breath and not overflow, and use his abilities without me noticing. A person who handles admission is so strong, and the Star Crown Noble Academy is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The ability to leave a special sense on a special token is generally [Enchanter], just like Long Ling can attach his ability to a weapon. Tokens to which this sense is applied will be identified by certain special means in order to confirm their identity. Although there are few people with the ability of [Enchanter], it is not to the point of being rare, and there are still a considerable number of [Enchanters] on the entire continent, so this simple and clear way of identifying identity is common on the continent, and [Enchanter] also has a considerable status, basically a lifetime of food and clothing. Of course, although there are still some [Enchanter] abilities, because they are not combat abilities, it is indeed rare to cultivate it to the peak.

Long Ling walked to the door, a figure blocked his way, Long Ling came back to his senses, and fixed his eyes to see that a man in a gorgeous crown was looking at him with a smile: "Is there something wrong?"

Long Ling was a little displeased when he was inexplicably blocked, and the man in front of him didn't seem to care, and then said, "I'm Xingsu, the second prince of the Xingguan royal family. Are you Long Ling, the eldest prince of the Heavenly Dragon Mansion?"

Long Ling didn't expect the prince to appear in the academy, but Long Ling didn't bother to think about it and replied: "Exactly, is there anything wrong with the second prince?"

"Would you like to sit down for a while?" Xing Su said with a smile as he pointed to a seat with his right hand.

Is this trying to win me over and fight for the throne? Anyway, I basically won't see him in the academy in the future, so it's better not to participate in this kind of thing.

Long Lingpi said with a smile: "Thank you for the invitation of the second prince, but there is really something important to do, so I won't stay longer and leave." Before Xingsu could speak, he walked past him and walked out of the door.

Xing Su's face still kept his original movements with a smile on his face, and he didn't make any reservations, and walked back to his seat, his face became gloomy: "What a Long Ling, what a Tianlong Mansion, I didn't even give this prince face." ”

"Prince, I'll teach him a lesson. Beside him stood a masked man.

Xing Su shook his head and said, "No, after all, the Tianlong Mansion is a big force, and you can't easily get into trouble with them." Besides, there are many opportunities to meet in the future, so we will calculate this account slowly. ”

Xing Su looked at the direction of Long Ling's departure with a grim face.

"It turned out to be someone from Tianlong Mansion, but he actually dared not to give Xingsu face, I am afraid that he will be made difficult in every way in the future, or the kind that has nothing to say. Shui Fu looked at the direction of Long Ling's departure and was a little excited.

"If you want to rely on the method of attracting people to expand your own power and compete for the throne with Xingsheng, I don't know how I will die in the future, who will dare to form an alliance with him. Yan Strike said.

"Ahem, Brother Yan, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. Mizufu said as he looked at the masked man who turned his gaze over.

That's just the way it is. Yan Struck stood up and left his seat.
