Chapter 478: Stand
Stand, in the lingua franca of the Nanya continent, is the meaning of "leading to the palace of wisdom and martial arts", although the academy mainly teaches magic and martial arts, but other humanities and military subjects, are also opened, every year all kinds of imperial officers come here to study countless people, people are proud to be able to enter the stand.
There is no doubt that if Firena were to define Stander Academy, then she would immediately define it as a school city in a small yellow book catalog.
That's right, Stander College is undoubtedly such an academy city in the Otherworld.
The whole city is composed of students, teachers and all kinds of service facilities that are convenient for students to come into being, and even the escort team is composed of student councils and teachers, not to mention that the Stander Sparrow is small, but it has everything it should have, and even some alchemy facilities that are not available in other countries, in short, this is a paradise for students.
Although Stander is located at the northern tip of the continent, extremely close to the orcs and aliens, no one would be stupid enough to attack here, not only because the two masters of the Demon Martial Arts are both legendary-level powerhouses, which is enough to deter anyone with bad intentions.
And not far from the academy, there is the famous Sage Tower, on top of it, there are countless old monsters, although they have been talking about staying neutral, but if they are angered one day, they don't know how to die, so they are ambitious, and they will choose to stay away from that place.
"Sister Karen, look, that's the most famous gate of Stander Academy!" Above the carriage, Mia diligently introduces all kinds of knowledge to Firena, venting her inner excitement.
Following Mia's hand, Firena saw a huge and magnificent statue of a warrior standing on the right side of the city's gate, a statue more than ten meters high was draped in armor, holding a huge shield in her left hand, and a spear in her right hand, pointing to the sky, and countless ancient military flags were dotted behind it.
On the left side of the city's gate, there is an equally huge statue of a mage, the statue is draped in a mage robe, holding a huge magic wand in both hands, also pointing straight to the sky, and the spear of the warrior statue interacts with each other, forming an arch-like style, and there are countless elemental balls of light floating behind the mage statue, compared to the battle flag behind the warrior, he gives people a more joyful and lively atmosphere.
The huge wall encloses the entire college, and under the spear and staff, is the gate of Stander College, although it has set up a grand and solemn gate, but it has never been closed since the establishment of the school, which means that all those who come here to study are welcome, and on both sides of this gate, dragons and phoenixes are carved with two lines of ancient words.
[Glory by force] [Enlighten the soul with wisdom]
"Is this the Stellar Academy?" Looking at the door with two lines of text engraved on it, Firena's heart was also very excited at the moment.
From the confusion when she walked out of the forest, to the determination when she entered the academy, Firena has experienced many hardships on the road, and has encountered more than a dozen dangers, and now she is finally about to enter this academy, how can her heart not feel excited.
Firena's group stopped in front of the city gate, naturally blocking a huge clearing, but the passers-by did not complain, but looked at them with a smile, and then walked away from them and went about their business.
After all, every year, people who are excited to come to Stellar College to study at the city gates often come and go, and these things have long been commonplace for those who are familiar with the situation here.
Seeing that Firena had recovered from the initial shock, Mia slipped out of the carriage, then stood on the ground, twisted her waist, and explained to her with a smile:
"Sister Karen, the next journey to the academy requires us to move forward on foot! Out of respect for the academy and reverence for knowledge, Stander College has an unwritten rule, that is, in the academy, unless there is an extremely critical situation, no chariots and horses are allowed to be used, so the cavalry battalion of Stander College has been transplanted to the outskirts of the city. ”
"Is that so?" Hearing Mia's explanation, Firena also quickly got off the carriage, respecting the customs of a place is a sign of civilization, and she is not the kind of person who is too ostentatious, so she decisively got off the carriage, held hands, and led a large group of servants into this slightly sacred school.
For Firena, who has traveled to the other world, the architecture of the other world can be described as strange, but in general, it is still the majority of Western-style buildings in Europe, and Stander College is a collection of classical Western European style cities, where you can see all the styles of Western European architecture, which makes Firena overwhelmed.
Because Xiao Hei couldn't accept the appearance of the palace for a while, Firena could only hold the hands of the head secretary and Mathew, and accompany Mia to wander around the street, four beautiful girls with different styles walked on the road, and the return rate naturally increased exponentially, but fortunately, there was a group of muscular brothers behind them who followed closely at all times, so there were no long-sighted people to come to talk.
On the stone-brick road, all kinds of tasks come and go, and the river is endless, orcs, elves, dwarves, and gnomes can be seen here one by one, and even one or two mountain giants are mixed in, which makes Firena's group feel amazed.
There are three school districts in Stander Academy, which are warriors, mages, and miscellaneous, and because Mia wants to replenish the arrows consumed by the team members, she took Firena and her party to the warrior area first.
The city is very tightly divided, in addition to hotels and inns, in the warrior school district, there are more blacksmith shops, leather armor shops, medicine shops and other shops for the soldiers to start, Astolfo curiously counted, just the weapon shop, there are more than ten on a street, and each of them is very hot business.
After carefully replenishing the arrows, Firena and the others held hands and entered the mage area.
Entering the mage area, Firena and the others obviously felt the scarcity of students, compared to the endless flow of people in the warrior area, the mage area can be said to be only three or two kittens, but this is normal, after all, magician is a scarce profession that requires a certain talent.
Realizing this, Firena and the others didn't make too many demands, but looked at the shops around them all the way, but compared to the shops in the warrior area, the mage's side was obviously much more esoteric, in addition to the large pile of book stores, there were also some strange shops, even she couldn't call the shops.
And these shops are full of doors, which makes Firena wonder if they are really making money.
