Crossbell is located in the triangle of the three major human kingdoms, the Pande Kingdom, the Ura Khanate, and the Solo Federation.

To the southwest, there is also a small area bordering the Sivar Forest, where the elves live.

Initially, however, there were no towns on the land. The first to settle here were a group of masters who specialized in magic and martial arts. It was also here that they built the first neutral academy in the mainland, the Stadi Academy.

The original founders were all well-known and powerful people at the time, and they had many followers. When the academy was established, countless followers arrived.

Of course, at the beginning of the establishment of the academy, it was inevitable that it would also be interfered by the three surrounding countries. After all, this triangle was originally a buffer zone between the three countries. The fourth party that suddenly appeared, although the number is small, but the core is a master in various fields. Such a presence is in itself a deterrent.

In short, no matter what the predecessors experienced back then, and what kind of game they experienced in the process. The end result was a successful continuation of the Stadi Academy. Perhaps for the three human powers, a neutral power is a better buffer than a place of take-off. Or maybe they found it unwise to provoke the group of masters who didn't know what they wanted to do, so they finally compromised.

Yes, no one knows why these masters chose this place to set up their academy in the first place. However, the most widely accepted theory is that these masters were there to keep the peace.

The truth doesn't matter anymore, at least in terms of results, the Stadi Academy does play a buffering role, and the friction between the three major powers here has indeed become less or even eliminated.

Crossbell, on the other hand, is a town centered around Stadi College. Like the city of Sailen, the absence of walls is a characteristic of the city. However, unlike the characteristics of the city of Mount Sailen, the town was not allowed to have walls from the very beginning. It must assert itself as absolutely harmless in this unguarded state.

None of the official countries has recognized Crossbell's existence. Even on the map, there is only the Stadi Academy and not Cross Bell.

In fact, Crossbell can indeed be seen as part of the Stadi Academy in some ways.

Because the earliest inhabitants of Crossbell were servants who provided food and clothing for the masters of the academy and their followers. And as the children of the nobility from various places came here to study, more merchants began to gather here.

The result was a constant accumulation of population, culminating in the strange town of Crossbell.

In addition to the above reasons, the more important and direct point is that it has always been the students of the martial arts class of the Stardy Academy who maintain the security of Crossbell. And it is the teachers and students of the administrative department of the Stardy College who maintain the administration of Crossbell.

Today's Stardy Academy is no longer just a place where magic and martial arts were originally taught. With this organization, which is not affiliated with any country and focuses only on academic research, is becoming more and more mature. Masters of the military, art, politics, and even business came here and became part of the academy.

Therefore, the current Stadi College has become a comprehensive college that integrates various disciplines. Every year, each country sends its elite children here for further study.

As a result, the elites of various countries who have a brotherhood also reduce the possibility of war in various countries on the other hand.

Of course, Crossbell is not a free city. The laws here are even tighter and stricter than elsewhere. In addition, its law enforcement officers have extremely high suzhì and combat power. There are only two kinds of people who dare to commit crimes here, either madmen or fools.

And Zhou Yan was in a daze with Li Zheng on a street in the South District of Cross at the moment, and the sky was getting dark at this time, but the two of them didn't know where to go.

It all started a few days ago.

After arriving in Sailon City, the lord of Sailon City, Marquis Isaac Sailon led Zhou Yan and others led by Louise all the way to the middle of Sailon City, where nobles and high-class people lived.

That night, the Marquis of Syren gave Louise a very grand welcome. However, Zhu'er did not appear, but Zhou Yan and others were allowed to sit down.

It's just that they are incompatible with this kind of aristocratic communication occasion, so they can only hastily eat something to fill their stomachs and then leave the banquet and return to the room.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Zhou Yan arrived the next day, he was called by Louise. They were then taken to a clearing in the upper area of the city of Sailen. And in this open space surrounded by surrounding buildings, Zhou Yan saw an airship.

Yes, airships. It is a black technology airship stored in the fantasy world.

"Is this the destination you're talking about?" At that time, Zhou Yan asked Louise.

Louise nodded and replied, "Do you still want to go by carriage?" Although it was just in time, it was almost time to start the martial arts show when I arrived. That's too much of a rush, right? ”

"No, I mean, I've never heard of it!"

"Of course, this is a new thing that has only been born in the past year, and it has not been promoted to the ordinary people who know about it. So of course, your five-year-old version of the Encyclopedia of China has no relevant introduction. ”

"Wait, why do you know that I read the Continental Encyclopedia, and the version is so clear!"

"A man who is too obsessed with the details will be hated."

“……”

"How?"

"I mean, thank you for your generosity, Princess."

Regarding Zhou Yan's inexplicable threat in the conversation with Louise, he didn't care about it. One thing that has to be mentioned about this airship is that there are great restrictions on the number of people and weight it can carry. In addition, it has just been put into use, and the cost of fifty gold per person is already prohibitive for ordinary people. At the same time, due to the limitation of carrying capacity, it is now only used for travel.

Of course, Zhou Yan and the others don't have to worry about air tickets, after all, they follow a local tyrant.

The airship is actually the latest research product of the Stadi Academy, although it has been put into use for a year, but except for the big names in various countries, it is still in the stage of secrecy from the general public. The theories and technologies in this have not yet been disclosed, and even if they are made public, Zhou Yan estimates that he will not be able to understand them, so he will skip them. In short, the technology of the airship is still in the hands of the Stadi Academy, and the countries have not strongly demanded to share it on the surface, but it is unknown whether they have any ideas in secret.

Accidentally pulled away......

In short, don't look at the fact that Sailen has such a helipad for airships to land, in fact, this apron has only been repaired in recent months. In order to prevent the public from discovering when the airship is floating in the air, it will even use camouflage magic.

And Sailen City is one of the pilot sites of the airship in Pande. In other regions outside of Pande, there are similar pilot sites, and given the significance of the airship, the countries have not rejected the request of the Stadi Academy to set up pilot cities in each country.

Flying in an airship is not a pleasant thing. After all, although the safety of the airship can be guaranteed, its comfort needs to be improved.

Zhou Yan had never been on a plane before, so he didn't know if he would get motion sickness, but the airship was real.

Not only him, except for the crew who have become accustomed to it, every passenger has a bad face during the ride.

Every time they landed on the way, almost all of them went down to enjoy the beautiful feeling of being down-to-earth while praising Mother Earth. By the way, Louise was also riding for the first time, and in her exact words, "If it weren't for the rush this time...... When you come back, you won't be able to ride this damn thing! ”

To make Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is accustomed to maintaining elegance in front of people, say such things in a rude tone and wording, so you can imagine how uncomfortable it is to ride.

However, although the airship experience is terrible, the speed is really good. The journey, which originally took more than ten days to complete, only took three days to take the airship, and Zhou Yan and the others had already arrived at Crossbell.

The airship did not enter the city, but landed invisibly five miles away from the city. In order to keep it secret, Zhou Yan and the others also made an oath when leaving.

When Zhou Yan and the others' airships landed, Zhou Yan didn't see the shadows of other airships, and he didn't know if each airship had a separate parking place, or if only their airships happened to arrive today.

And after getting off the airship, everyone did not delay. Went straight to Crossbell. But when approaching the city......

"Then let's separate here, I look forward to your appearance, Zhou Yan." Louise said this again and left with her people.

And after communicating with Zhou Yan a few times in the past few days, Artoria, who had improved the relationship, left a sentence to Zhou Yan alone, "We will meet again, please come on until then" and left with Louise.

After Louise left, Zhou Yangang wanted to act together, but the others unanimously said that they would act separately. This even includes Yoyo and Rudy.

And after agreeing on the place and time of the meeting, the people dispersed.

Then after separating from everyone, Zhou Yan, who was with Li, suddenly realized a problem, that is, he is now penniless.
