Chapter 152: It's Early!
Link, who came to Emerald Bay, easily exhaled a bad breath that had been holding in his heart.
All the repression in the werewolf forest has finally been swept away here.
The teleportation array of the Emerald Bay was not arranged in the city, but outside the Emerald City, on a high cliff near the Emerald Sea.
This is different from the teleportation array in Whitewater City.
Underfoot, there are rough waves, and the cliffs are perpendicular to the sea, reaching a height of tens of meters.
Link walked towards the avenue ahead under the watchful eyes of the guards near the teleportation array.
The Imperial officials of Emerald Bay were very conscientious, and built a road directly from the teleportation array to the city not far away, and there were even carriages for rent nearby, which was convenient for people like Link who did not have carriages and mounts with them.
It's not expensive, with a spacious carriage for 5 silver coins, and it comes with a nice snack and a talkative guide to introduce them to the cultural scenery of Emerald Bay.
When he heard the other party's fluent lingua franca, Link found that this language, which was rarely spoken in the Duchy of Seine, was a second language mastered by many people of the Glorious Empire, and it was very proficient.
While listening to the narrator's introduction to Emerald Bay, Link and Alice and the others lifted the curtains on both sides of the carriage and watched the unique scenery.
The Emerald Grand Duke Owen is the actual controller of this Emerald Bay, not only including the land and port of the Emerald Bay, but also the oceans that move hundreds of kilometers to the open sea, all of which belong to the rule of the Grand Duke.
The rich land has nurtured countless elite soldiers against the terrifying number of ocean fishmen and the centaur tribe of the surrounding wilderness.
"That's right. Jimmy. "Jimmy is the docent's name, a young boy with a lot of freckles. Link waited until he stopped talking and asked, "Do you know anything about the Warlord Academy?" ”
"Of course. Mr! ”
Jimmy's eyes lit up when he heard Link's culture, "Are you also here to join the Warlord Academy?" What a noble one! ”
"You know everything about the Warlord Academy?"
Link asked with a smile, then threw out a gold coin, "Tell me about it." ”
"Good! Good! ”
Jimmy's eyes turned red when he saw the gold coin, "This is the golden sun!" ”
The gold coins of the Glorious Empire depict a rising red sun, so many people refer to the golden sun as a gold coin.
Bronze star, silver moon, golden sun. It is the most common type of currency in the Radiant Empire, very similar to the currency of the Duchy of Senna - after all, it was learned from the Radiant Empire.
The exchange of currencies is not difficult, there is this kind of exchange on the border between the two sides, and at an exchange price of about 11 to 9, Link has all exchanged for the currency of the Shining Empire.
A golden sun is a small person like Jimmy, almost half a year's salary.
"For the sake of the golden sun, sir." Jimmy clutched the gold in his hand, "I know the most about Warlord Academy. Because my home is not far from this college, I know all about things that other people don't know. ”
Placing the gold coin in his arms, Jimmy patted his chest. I felt a sense of steadiness that I had never felt before.
Jimmy, who patted his chest and assured, immediately began to tell all the information he had about the Warlord Academy, all in one go.
The War Lords College of Emerald Bay. Founded hundreds of years ago, Emerald Bay was still the territory of the Fish-People.
The Warlords Academy at the time. It's just a very ordinary war college, while enrolling teenagers with extraordinary qualifications at any cost. Increasing investment to make it a success, a large number of formal professionals came out of it, and then relying on their blood, the Glorious Empire finally gained a foothold here.
It was in these more than 100 years of life-and-death wars that an extremely outstanding noble knight was born, who learned the knowledge of various professions and practiced them in the war, and finally gave birth to a special profession such as the war lord.
He is the ancestor of the current Jade Grand Duke, and although he created such a special profession, he was not able to deduce it to a higher level and died in a war.
Later, after the Radiant Empire sorted out its relics and conducted more in-depth research, the Warlord Academy was finally born, located in Emerald Bay.
"The first thing students who need to do to enter the Warlord Academy is to be loyal to the current Emperor of the Empire, serve him, conquer the barren wilderness, and expand the territory of the Empire."
Jimmy said, with a little longing, "Conquering the world and becoming famous is simply the best future!" ”
Link shook his head slightly, and the other party seemed to be caught in professional delusions, so he coughed slightly and called him back again.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm distracted."
Jimmy found out and quickly apologized.
"No hurry, I just have a question for you!" Link raised his hand and stopped Jimmy's bow in apology, "You just said that students at the Warlord Academy need to be loyal to the Emperor, but why did I see the situation in some other places that they were allegiance to the local lords?" ”
In Link's mind, nobility should be formed because of the territory and its strength.
Some of the colleges in the Duchy of Seine basically require allegiance to the local lord, and if you are a nobleman or a student from other places, you have to swear not to be hostile to the lord.
I don't know how useful an oath is, but such a rule exists.
In the War Lord Academy here in the Emerald Grand Duke, why should you pledge allegiance to the Emperor?
Jimmy was stunned for a moment, and then a look of sudden realization appeared: "Sir, you are from another country, right?" ”
Seeing Link nodding, Jimmy puffed out his chest proudly: "In some principalities, it is true that nobles are the masters of the country, but this is the Empire!" ”
A flash of glory flashed through his heart, and Link nodded, understanding what he meant.
In the empire, the emperor is the largest, and any nobleman must obey the emperor's orders.
Therefore, in the academy in the empire, it is necessary to swear allegiance to the emperor and the empire, and the nobles are just the caretakers that the emperor needs.
Guarding this territory, which belongs entirely to the emperor alone!
Therefore, although the Grand Duke of Jade is the lord of this Emerald Bay, he still has to obey the emperor's orders, even if it harms his own interests, he must do it.
And in the Duchy of Senna, if you dare to treat the nobles like this, then what awaits you will be the rebellion of the nobles, and the alliance with other nobles under the sorrow of the dead fox.
As if he had noticed that Link had no problems, Jimmy continued, "If you want to enter the Warlord Academy, you will come a little early, and it will be more than two months before the next recruitment. ”
"What?"
When Link heard this, he was stunned, it would take 2 months.
Yes, an institution like the college does recruit new students at a fixed time.
It's just that he was in a hurry to get the profession of War Lord, and he actually ignored it! (To be continued.) )
