Li Chang'an, the core of the magical world of the Celestial Empire. Ryan's uncle took Ryan and Hermione here through the cloud road. Before leaving, Ryan released the Rose Crystal. If you are going on a trip, how can you leave out the little one. But what I didn't expect was that in the past two days, Teacher Luo Zhen and Alice were invited to the Palace of Versailles as guests. Therefore, when the little puppets of Teacher Luo Zhen heard that Ryan was going to take the rose crystal to see the most prosperous place in the Celestial Empire's magical world, they also ran out when they heard that Ryan was going to take the rose crystal.

So now standing outside the Chang'an Fountain in addition to the three of them, there are also eight dolls who look elated.

"I don't think your level of making a machine is low. Uncle looked at the dolls around the well that was placed in the cubicle, looked curiously at the dolls chattering around, touched his beard, and said with a smile. "I think I'll introduce you to Professor Yanyun in a while, she's a descendant of Yanshi, and she'll be willing to take out something weighty to communicate with you after seeing these dolls. ”

After beckoning these lively little guys, they walked out of the cubicle. After that, walk out along a brick avenue. There is a well in each compartment, and when you walk outside, you can see the wizard turning into a white mist and dipping into the water, or a white mist coming out of the water to become a wizard. In short, it's as busy as the fireplaces in the hall of the Ministry of Magic when I go to work, and there's no free time.

Walking out of this courtyard, which is the transportation hub of Li Chang'an, an antique city appeared in front of them. The city is located in a huge valley surrounded by mountains. The city is surrounded by high walls, and they can see the quaint houses lined up one after another.

"This is the heart of the Oriental Fangshi. Uncle said proudly. "With a permanent population of 15,000 people, it is one of the few cities in the world that belongs to magicians. The city is divided into 18 squares, and if you are familiar with history, you can think of it as a miniature version of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Since its expansion more than 1,000 years ago, the overall layout of the city has remained largely unchanged. ”

"Miracles. Ryan looked at the city and was shocked for a few moments before finally expressing his inner feelings with the word miracle. Led by their uncle, they walked all the way down Suzaku Street. On both sides of the road are a variety of shops, workshops, as well as hotels and residences. However, Ryan also found that it is still full of traces of the times, such as the street lamp poles on both sides of the road, and the electric horns that some shops have renovated themselves.

There are not a lot of people coming and going on the streets, and you can see that many people are coming from other places to go shopping or shopping in the city. After carefully observing these wizards of the Celestial Empire, Ryan synthesized his impressions from the previous few days and asked his own question: "Why are most of the wizards I saw in Britain wearing wizard robes, while the monks of the Celestial Empire are almost exactly the same as ordinary people outside?"

"It's because of a reform more than a hundred years ago. Uncle said, "At that time, the Celestial Empire's Fang Shi Realm decided to develop itself after a long war against the dead for hundreds of years, but at that time everything else was still ancient except for the three modern Fang Shi Academies. After carefully observing the world of ordinary people outside, the leaders decided to learn from ordinary people. So we secretly sent an expedition to Europe, the most advanced place in the world a hundred years ago. ”

Looking at the two young people who were listening carefully, my uncle continued: "After arriving in the UK, the delegation was fascinated by a completely different world. The roaring machine made them feel that a power no less than magic was bursting out. Not to mention the fact that they had seen trains, newspapers, electric lights, flush toilets, and so on in the British wizarding world, and we seemed like barbarians compared to them. When the expedition returned, the priests of the Celestial Empire believed that it was because they were good at learning the knowledge of ordinary people that the British wizarding world was the best in Europe. Since then, we have also started an innovation called Civilization and Enlightenment, with magic as the core, comprehensively absorbing the knowledge of ordinary people's world. ”

After hearing these words, Hermione leaned over to Ryan and whispered, "The British wizarding world in the eyes of the wizards of the Celestial Empire is completely different from the real British magical world, and they obviously have a wrong understanding. ”

"But I think it's a good thing to have them. As Ryan said this, he saw a magically modified tripod drive down the middle of the road with a high pile of goods. "It would be foolish to simply pretend not to see the progress of the world for ordinary people, and of course, the method of instigating ordinary people's wars to stop ordinary people's development now seems even more stupid, because war is the catalyst for the development of science and technology. ”

"Alright, here we are. The uncle's words interrupted the whispering of the two men, and now in front of him was an antique gate. The blue plaque with gold trim reads "Heavenly Dynasty Fangshi Academy." ”

"It may not be the same as your British school system, after the students of the Celestial Empire have graduated from Jiuli, Penglai or Kunlun for seven years. Practitioners who wish to take their studies to the next level can complete their further studies in three years after passing the exam. And unlike the traditional family model of a hundred years ago, as long as you can pass the academy's exams and make enough contributions to the academy and the magic world, then you can obtain the top magic knowledge in the entire Far East here. In the past 100 years, more than 60% of our Dafang scholars born by ordinary people have been able to account for more than 60% because we have liberated knowledge, which has also greatly accelerated our research on magic in the past 100 years. ”

The uncle who led them in said, "I'm here as a professor of extraordinary botanical biology, and you see, in front of me is my laboratory and teaching greenhouse." ”

"That's a big deal. Ryan saw that the greenhouse in front of him was several times larger than Hogwarts. "The place where I go to school now doesn't have as many greenhouses as there combined. ”

"Uh-" Uncle stood there embarrassed. "I mean, I'm working here. The greenhouse here belongs to the school, and only the small greenhouse next to it belongs to me for my sole use. ”

"That's not bad, I remember that we in the Sprout Church had to work our own if we wanted to study something. Hermione looked with some envy at the small greenhouse of about 100 square meters that belonged to Uncle Lane's use.

"I'm going to study it now, you two can hang around. If you want to enter the academy, you need to pass an exam, but there is a lot of knowledge here that is open to the public, and if you want to study here, you don't just need to come in and learn through exams. If you want to gain knowledge, you can exchange your knowledge, materials and even labor in school for points. With these points, you can go to the library and exchange it for the knowledge you want, and you can even ask a professor who is available to help you explain. ”

The uncle led them to the reception desk of the school tour and told them for a long time before leaving, while the little puppets followed him around the campus. Each person who applies for an audit card needs one gold coin. However, the points in it will have to be exchanged for knowledge or valuable magic items. At the same time, no matter how many points outsiders have, they still need to be approved if they want to see certain knowledge. And all the books can only be read in the library and are not allowed to be taken away.

But even with all that rigour, Hermione was still very envious of the academic atmosphere here, especially after looking at the list of materials that could be redeemed. "Think of Hogwarts, where there are no valuable books in the regular areas of the library, and the forbidden areas are strictly guarded. Each pure-blood family holds their secrets firmly in their hands, and there is not even the slightest bit of a shared spirit at all. ”

"It's hard to say anything else, at least the Celestial Empire's way of treating knowledge can avoid a lot of meaningless repetitive research, and at the same time have great benefits for promoting magical research. ”

That's why I said it all starts with education. Ryan smiled. "Alright, now let's go and exchange points first. ”

What Ryan used in exchange for points was a large pile of seeds he had gotten from the world of Plants vs. Zombies, as well as some of the forging techniques from the elves of the Lord of the Rings world. These things were enough for him to exchange more than 1,000 points for all the knowledge they wanted.

"Rune Basics", "The 174th Edition of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Bai Zetu 96th Edition", "The Basics of Magic", ...... With a large pile of books in hand, Ryan and Hermione began to read in the reading room of the large library.
