Chapter 9 Entering Human Society
Lanka Town
As one of the border towns bordering the Warcraft Forest in the territory of the Lon Nol Empire, it is no less lively than a city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoLanka Town is one of the four official entrances to the Warcraft Forest for the Lon Nol Empire, and is haunted by all kinds of adventurers and mercenaries during the summer, autumn and the first two months of winter. There are unwritten rules between the countries of the continent, the last month of winter and the whole spring for a total of four months for all the monsters and forests on the continent to recuperate, during this time the official entrance of all forests is not open, belongs to the hunting ban period. Of course, some illegal entrances are open all year round.
In addition to adventurers and mercenaries, merchants who buy all kinds of goods also like to mingle here. Although it is more expensive to sell goods such as Magic Core Fur and Herb Gem Ore in a large city, the premise is that you can bring these things to a large city safely and worry-free.
Originally, the empire had thought of establishing a large magic teleportation array in Lanka Town, but this request was rejected by the people of the Magic Guild. The reason is very simple, this place is so close to the Warcraft Forest, and the magic fluctuations generated by the use of a large magic teleportation array will affect or even destroy the life and reproduction of the Warcraft Forest to a certain extent. After a long time, it is easy to cause a large-scale Warcraft riot.
The Capazar Empire, which was destroyed a thousand years ago, established a large-scale magical teleportation array at the edge of the forest, triggering a large-scale conflict between humans and demonic beasts. In that Warcraft Rebellion, an astonishing number of Warcraft from level 1 to level 7 rushed out of the Warcraft Forest, destroying most of the villages and cities of the Capazar Empire with a devastating force. In that Warcraft Rebellion, the civilians and troops of Karpassa suffered numerous casualties and heavy losses, and the national strength plummeted in an instant. In the end, the territory of the empire was divided and annexed by the surrounding empires, and the Capazar Empire has since been annihilated in the long river of history.
This bloody column caused all the magic guilds of the empire bordering the Warcraft Forest to swear to the Law God that they would never establish a large magic teleportation array within three hundred miles of the forest. Therefore, if you want to take valuable materials such as demon cores, furs, herbs, gems, and raw ores to large cities to sell, the only shortcut is to go to Lola City, which is three hundred miles away from Lanka Town, to take a large teleportation array. The problem lies in the safety factor of the distance from Lanka Town to Lola City, the three hundred miles journey has to pass through a misty forest and a devouring swamp, in addition to being careful of the misty forest and the extremely aggressive demonic beasts hidden in the devouring swamp, you must also be careful of the robber gang that specializes in robbery lurking on the road.
Therefore, if it is a relatively small mercenary team that is lucky enough to get good goods in the Warcraft Forest, basically they will not risk escorting them to the big city to sell them, and can only sell them to the merchants who come to buy them at a relatively low price. It's better to earn less than to lose your money and lose your life. You ask why the state doesn't send troops to ensure the safety of these 300 miles, hehe! Smart people know the inside story, but if you don't understand it, it's because you're not smart enough.
Merchants who can come here to buy goods with deep pockets naturally have strong backers and strong caravan transportation lines behind them to ensure safety. No matter how bad it is, there are so many mercenaries to hire. Therefore, compared with weak mercenary groups and scattered adventurers, they can ensure that they obtain greater economic benefits.
Today's Lanka town is extraordinarily lively, not only because today is the summer hunting day, but also because the admissions team of the Vica Academy, the empire's famous comprehensive academy of magic and martial arts, has come to this town. Because of the special geographical location of Lanka Town, many adventurers and mercenaries with excellent martial arts or magic have lived here for a long time, and then gradually merged with the aborigines here. Either marrying or marrying or settling here, the children born by the union of these excellent people are often genetically excellent and have outstanding qualities. Therefore, every forest entrance town, every year there is an enrollment point set up by the Bika Academy, and every year there will be a special person to select and admit these high-quality children. Therefore, at this time of year, not only the children in the town, but also the children of some surrounding towns and villages will also rush to sign up for the interview.
Of course, if you can afford to go through the back door, your untalented boy can also be chosen. The admissions team in the entrance town is a fat difference, so every year the people at the college also sharpen their heads and want to become admissions. While admitting on the basis of merit, they don't mind taking some benefits and recruiting a few scraps. Because those who enter through the back door have to pay expensive tuition fees every year, which is also one of the important financial resources of the college. Although the state allocates a lot of money to the academy every year, and the nobles pay a lot of money to the academy in order to recruit outstanding talents, who would be afraid of too much money?
Even for children who are admitted by virtue of their own excellence, the tuition fee is not cheap, and the seven-year education model can be a lot of money. But as long as you can enter this academy, it largely means that you may become a high-level swordsman and a high-level magician in the future. Children with good qualifications can easily obtain the certification of junior swordsmen or junior magicians, and once they are certified and registered as beginners, they can go to the swordsman guild or magic guild every month to receive subsidies issued by the state, at least the living expenses will be settled.
After graduation, as long as you become a high-level swordsman or a high-level magician, not only will the state provide money, but you may also be recommended to study in a higher education institution. The so-called institution of higher learning is a higher academy that does not belong to any empire and is not controlled by any empire. The academy is located in the north of the continent on a piece of land belonging to the Capazar Empire a thousand years ago, that is, one of the entrances to the Warcraft Forest of the Capazar Empire, the area that was most affected by the impact of Warcraft back then. Because it is very close to the Warcraft Forest, it was used as one of the base camps by the Warcraft that came out to make trouble at that time, so it avoided being carved up by other empires. Later, the only sword god and one law god on the continent led several sword saints and law saints to drive those demonic beasts back to the forest, and then founded the famous continent's holy academy in that ruin. Whether you want to learn martial arts, magic or potions alchemy, the Academy has some of the best teachers. To put it bluntly, each country's own college is similar to the education stage from elementary to high school, and the Holy College is the only top university on the continent.
The Academy admits only the best and most gifted students, regardless of status, nationality, wealth or poverty. He does not send high-level talents to a certain country, nor does he refuse high-level talents from any country to further their studies. It does not force students to submit to a certain country, and it does not care that the students who are sent in are originally subject to a certain country. The existence of the Holy Academy seems to be only to enhance the strength of the geniuses and there is no selfishness in it, so various countries have jointly acquiesced to such an academy that is outside the country.
What can you do if you don't acquiesce? There are Sword Saints and Law Saints in the academy, they are insurmountable existences like the ninth-order Demonic Beasts in the Warcraft Forest, and behind them are the legendary Divine Dragons and Sword Gods who are not looking at the end of the law, who cares what they want to do. At least so far, the purpose of their school is to comprehensively enhance the strength of the human powerhouse, and all countries are happy to see it. At present, the empires on the mainland are evenly matched, and they maintain a delicate balance between mutual constraints, so improving their strength is also one of the important guarantees.
Okay! Let's talk about the enrollment situation of Billon No's Empire's Pica Academy!
"Looks like this is the registration office. A tall, handsome man in a brown-and-yellow hunting suit touched his chin and looked at a magic sign floating in front of him. Not far from the signboard, there are many people with children surrounding the noisy and shouting, and it seems that it should be the clerk who accepts the registration.
"Looks like this is it. Beside the man stood a small child, dressed in a gray-black hunting suit and a hat made of grizzly bear skin. The palm-sized little face is incomprehensible, and a pair of big flexible eyes are spinning, looking like a ghost. He looked at the way the water was squeezed over there, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
As for whether you have talent or not, it depends on you. The man held out his hand to the child, and it would not be good if there were too many people in the place. The child secretly rolled his eyes, but still honestly reached out for him to lead. No way, after all, the two of them are going to pretend to be a family. After all, it is a bit suspicious for a child to come to sign up for school by himself. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, only compromise.
These two are none other than Mr. Gryphon and Rain Lampes, who came out of the depths of the Warcraft Forest. The time is just right, and the time of the hunting day is the most crowded and chaotic time in Lanka Town. There are countless faces who come here at this time, and there are countless parents who bring their children to sign up for interviews. It can ensure the safety of Mr. Gryphon to the greatest extent, so as not to attract speculation and suspicion from others.
Rain Lampes is a black family in this world, and he can only take advantage of this chaos to blend in. As for forging identity information after getting in, those are small things, and Ze will help deal with it. It is more convenient than going to the town to register your identity and forging documents in the academy system. Rain doesn't intend to be loyal to any empire, and she is still quite resistant to this kind of empire in feudal slavery. Therefore, there is no need for a real identity, and it is the best policy to fake one casually and find out if there is no such person in the future.
"The registration fee actually requires a gold coin, which is simply too black-hearted. That's the price of an ordinary third-level magic core, and signing up doesn't mean admission. If the conditions are not enough, not only will the application fee not be refunded, it will be really dark!" Some people in the crowd made a dissatisfied voice, and the college registration fee has risen in recent years, and it has become more and more burdensome. Although it is only the price of an ordinary third-level magic core, not all third-level demonic beasts have a magic core. Warcraft with a magic core have stronger attack and defense than ordinary Warcraft, but they are not so easy to deal with.
"Hey, if you don't want to sign up, leave quickly, don't take a seat and complain there, we're all waiting to sign up for the kid." The people waiting behind made disgruntled voices.
"Whoever said I didn't sign up, one gold coin is one gold coin, for you!" The man was a little embarrassed, but had to pay the registration fee. If you don't pay, you won't even be eligible to be selected, so what else can you do?
"Hear me, you may not be admitted if you pay the registration fee!" Mr. Griffin collected another piece of gossip, last year's registration fee was only fifty silver coins, he asked.
"Hehe......" Yu rolled her eyes at him.
