The sun is scorching.

The small caravan of more than thirty people kept marching, and the green mountains and green trees slowly retreated around them.

Along the way, Arthur encountered five or six checkpoints.

And around King's Landing, the garrison army has even set up more than a dozen checkpoints, and the direction of the school city is relatively small.

Without Natalie's help, he and Selena Dao City would still have a lot of trouble.

But none of that matters.

Because... The school city is ahead!

The school city is not strictly a city, but a large town without walls, and at the center of it is a huge academy that originated in the old town of Babel and served the people who learned knowledge, and was relocated from the territory of the Hightower family.

Looking at the gray knowledge academy in the center of the town, Arthur didn't rush in directly.

Instead, they and Natalie stayed in the hotel first, and when the Gilbert family's caravan arranged things, they found the bachelor in charge of the book trade.

Because of the advent of the printing press.

The number of books has increased significantly, and Natalie, who likes to read, decisively led the family caravan to find the school city to negotiate to become a bookseller when she lost her eldest brother and her former business partners fell into the ground!

"Hello, I'm Natalie Gilbert, I have a business contract with the academy and would like to meet Assistant Bachelor Laresa. "Entering the Institute of Knowledge, the aristocratic girl said to the bachelor who worked at the reception.

The bachelor looked at her silently for a few moments, then opened a book on the table, found the girl's name and nodded, "It is indeed one of the booksellers with a contract." ”

"You can go in, but you're the only one. ”

After that, he looked at the female mercenary with the big sword on her back: "The school city is not a place of struggle, you are not allowed to bring weapons in, leave here immediately!"

Hearing that the bachelor was actually going to drive herself away, Selena was suddenly upset.

"Don't get excited. Arthur hurriedly stopped the mercenary who was reaching out to hold the sword and wanted to teach people, and then took out the specially prepared letter and handed it over.

"Bachelor, I'm from the North and have important information and would like to see Dr. Ryan. ”

"The sigil of the Deep Forest?"

After taking the letter and seeing the family crest on the wax seal, the bachelor looked at the young man suspiciously.

He was silent for a few more moments before he spoke, "Dr. Ryan should be in the Golden Hall of Finance and Accounting at this time. ”

"Thank you. ”

Arthur: "Selena, you go back to the hotel and wait for me, there will be no danger here." ”

Bachelors or bachelor's apprentices here are not very friendly to outsiders.

Hearing the prince's words, believing that he would not encounter any danger in this school city without many soldiers, Selena nodded unhappily and returned directly to the hotel rented by Gilbert.

Seeing the female mercenary leave, Natalie took the young man's hand: "I know where the Golden Hall is, I'll show you the way." ”

"No, you go about your business, I want to walk around here. ”

Knowing that this girl has intentions for herself, and even wants to become a princess, Arthur has no ill feelings towards her, and can be a friend or even a confidant.

But he knows very well that when he becomes a prince, he must be cautious in choosing the object of marriage, and he doesn't have any love at first sight for Natalie, so he is a little resistant to such an action as holding hands.

"Then I'll walk with you, the Golden Hall is here. ”

Natalie, who was rejected by the prince and still had a charming smile on her face, didn't care, and continued to stroll with him through the corridors of the Academy of Knowledge.

A large classroom that teaches the knowledge of finance and accounting.

The Golden Basilica was not really built of gold, but was only lightly gilded in decoration.

After all, they're just bachelors, and this is just a classroom, not an iron vault across the Narrow Sea.

Separated from the aristocratic girl, she quietly walked into the classroom through the back door, wanting to hear what the world of finance and accounting is like.

Unexpectedly, the doctor who had a relationship on the podium was suddenly displeased: "Don't you dare to be late for my class and walk in without making a sound, don't you take me as a doctor in your eyes?"

That's embarrassing.

It's the same as being found out by the teacher when you're late.

Since he was discovered, and didn't want to be noticed by the dozen or so bachelor apprentices in the class, Arthur scratched his head and said, "Dr. Ryan, we met in the workshop outside King's Landing, do you remember me?"

The workshop outside King's Landing, where Dr. Ryan had gone specifically for papermaking and printing, could not remember.

Look at the boy carefully.

Immediately identify him as the former illegitimate son, now legally recognized Prince Arthur Holy Laurain!

"Your Highness, why did you take the risk of coming to the school city?"

The apprentices in the classroom were surprised when they heard the doctor's title, and their original dissatisfaction with the teenager's interruption of the lecture was also put away.

Arthur: "For the sake of the wraiths and ghouls who are about to attack the Wall, I would like to ask the Doctor and the Scholars to go north to discuss how to deal with this crisis." ”

Dr. Ryan's face was suddenly full of seriousness, and he said to the students in front of him, "Hurry up and gather all the doctors and bachelors." ”

When the apprentices ran out, the old doctor sat down in the middle seat and said to the young prince who came to him, "Your Highness, I still don't believe in the existence of strange ghosts.

However, the Earl of Berry Dondelion brought back the resurrected dead from outside the Wall as evidence, and many lords and scholars wrote to testify to it, and I believe in this crisis, and the school will spare no effort to help. ”

"Thank you very much for your help. ”

Thanking Dr. Ryan, Arthur hurriedly asked a question that he desperately wanted to know, taking advantage of the fact that the many doctors and bachelors who had been summoned had not arrived.

"Dr. Ryan, we have signed a contract to do business together, I wonder if those contracts are still valid?"

"Of course it works. ”

The Academy Trained Bachelor in the service of the aristocracy, and Dr. Ryan would not swallow the money of a prince.

"That's good. Arthur was immediately happy when he heard this.

Seeing this, Ryan shook his head and said, "But I want to apologize to His Highness first, because we have opened workshops such as printing and papermaking and recruited workers, and we can't pay off His Highness's share of the money at once for the time being."

Because the number is too large. ”

"That's right..."

"The situation in the north is bad, the Great Wall is facing a crisis, and we have to take in the savages, White Harbor is also being rebuilt, winter is coming, we are really short of money, I wonder how much cash the school city can come up with now?"

It's good to have money, but now the soldiers and horses are all arranged in the north, and they are alone, if the school city doesn't admit it, Arthur can't do anything to them even if he is a prince.

Listening to the prince talk about the problems they were facing, Dr. Ryan smiled bitterly, "We can only come up with forty thousand gold dragons for the time being. ”

Arthur's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the light of the golden dragon flashed!

Hurriedly asked, "How much is my share?"

Seeing the prince's obsessed appearance, Dr. Ryan shook his head: "As of last month, in two years, His Royal Highness should receive a total of ninety thousand six hundred and forty-two golden dragons and fifty-three silver deer. ”

Two years?

Not to mention the doctors and bachelors in these schools, it is summer all year round, and Arthur really doesn't know that they have been making money by their own methods for so long.

But with this money, even if there is no fiefdom, too many ideas and experiments can be implemented!

Strange ghosts?

An army of the dead?

Wait for the guns to be cast and see how arrogant you are!
