267 Vinane College

"What's going on there? It seems like a lot of people look like? ”

"That's the biggest market in Fairhaven: the Antine Market, and while the official markets across the Duchy of Antile are huge, the Antine Market is undoubtedly the largest... You don't want to finish it in half a year! Just bring your money bag and anything you can imagine can be bought there, and I mean any "you get the idea!" ”

The halfling King Kong pea squeezed his eyebrows at the sycamore: "Even if you want to buy the stars and moon in the sky, you can pay a sum of money" Related institutions, such as the Stargazers Association, the Astronomical Research Society and other organizations, will be happy to choose a star full of various stories, legends, myths and history for you, give your name, and then it will belong to you, and you can even pass it on to your children and grandchildren, and claim it to belong to you in any public occasion of Adele. Of course, only for Adele.

Sycamore felt a little dizzying, this huge city is amazing! It is different from the style he imagined "Endless" to be set in the Middle Ages, although the buildings here are still in the style of the Middle Ages, but the height is a little exaggerated.

There are dozens or hundreds of meters of buildings everywhere, those towering minarets and igloos, filling the whole city like a forest, you know, this is not a modern city, but it has far more than the modern city's architectural capabilities" Wutong is curious, how did the construction workers in the Middle Ages build these houses?

But it's reasonable to think about it, "Endless" is a game after all, if you want to accommodate nearly 10 million NPCs and 20 or 30 million players, you can't just rely on bungalows and thatched houses, and asking for construction area from the sky and the earth is undoubtedly the easiest way, although it is not reinforced concrete, but in an environment with a magical background, it is not impossible to find similar means to overcome problems.

"What is that place? What's floating in the sky? ”

Wutong pointed to a huge fortress-style building complex in the distance in surprise, the beast-like fortress has a large wall higher than the surrounding buildings, and the buildings inside are even more towering, these can still be understood, but Wutong actually saw that above the fortress-like building complex, there was a huge flying object floating!

"I knew you were going to ask, everybody who just came here was going to ask" That's Fairhaven's City within a City: Ann Tien City, a royal city located in the heart of this city, you can think of it as an imperial city, although it is a little larger in size, it can accommodate a population of more than a million, and the main superstructure of the Principality of Adele is in it, including the major guilds, major chambers of commerce, major organizations, major institutions, and major major clucking tarts! ”

Vajra Pea glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It can be said that Fairhaven was expanded on the basis of An Tian City, An Tian City is an inner city, where nobles, the very rich, and the big people all live in it, and it is not a place where we little people can set foot in a short time" Uh, I forgot, this does not include you, Your Excellency Mage! ”

He pointed to the towering city walls: "The college district of the Venane Academy is inside, the area is equivalent to a school like a small city, it's terrifying!" It is said that the number of teachers, scholars, professors, and researchers in various fields alone exceeds hundreds of thousands, and the Adele Royal Library belongs to its annex building, so I don't want to go there, in reality, I was abused by the teacher enough, and I ran to the game to be taught by a group of old men again, "Then I have to be crazy!" Nima! That's hundreds of thousands of teachers! Wipe! It's horrible! ”

Wutong, who has basically never been to school, is very interested, you must know that he was not in good health since he was a child, and when he was a child, he envied those children who could go to school with children, and pointed to the thing in the sky that looked like a spaceship: "What about that thing?" ”

"That's the royal palace of the Duchy of Ander: Anle Palace, Floating City, have you heard of it? It is said that it is still a product of high magic left over from the ancient period before the Galifa era, and it is one of the few floating cities that can still fly, although it can no longer float everywhere, but it is definitely the existence of Heifer flying and going to the sky! ”

As soon as he said this, Vajra Pea was excited with honor: "Anle Palace is eighteen stories high, the internal space is huge and complex, it can accommodate ten legions stationed, and has perfect living facilities, even if a major flood, tsunami, or earthquake breaks out, Anle Palace can also be safely floating in the sky, and there is no need to rely on the outside world at all, so that people can live in it for hundreds of years...",

He said excitedly as he casually pointed to the buildings he passed by, and told the Sycamore what the buildings were for, and soon came to one of the gates of the inner city of Antian.

I can't get enough of it! With a pout, he seemed to be quite satisfied with the job of being a tour guide, and said regretfully: "Okay, my task is completed here, and I can't enter the inner city if I wait for the people!" If you need help in the future, just go to the Blueberry Bar at 369 Nanzhong Yang Avenue to find me, I am usually there when I am fine, if I am not there, you can leave me a note on the note board of the Blueberry Bar, let's make an appointment to meet! See you then! ”

As he spoke, the 5 o'clock prestige diamond pea jumped away satisfied, not that he was naïve, he had to jump and walk like a child, but the height of the halfling limited their walking distance, so he had to rely on his bounce power to increase the speed of travel.

"Ai~!"

Wutong didn't expect him to leave, and greeted him dumbfounded, and found that the little man of Vajra Pea had already disappeared into the crowd like a cat.

But Wutong was about to leave with a smile, but he saw Vajra Pea sneaking out of the crowd again and ran back: "By the way, I forgot to say, if you leave An Tian Inner City in the future, you'd better be careful, the gang of wanderers you offended just now belong to the "Canghai" guild, be careful of being retaliated by them!" After saying that, he turned around and ran again, making Wutong sweat profusely.

Okay, Wutong looked up at the city wall, not to mention the fifty-meter-high Antian City, and led the two little luo lì towards the towering huge city gate.

Because there are very few players who are eligible to enter the inner city, there is relatively little foot traffic here, and this "less" refers to the fact that compared to a super city like the outer city of Fairhaven, after all, it is also a small city that can accommodate millions of people.

"Mr. Mage, please show your pass." The guards at the gates of An Tian City, like the Dharma practitioners, have a lot of respect for Wutong, the [apprentice mage].

"Ugh"

The first-time Sycamore really doesn't have such a thing as a [pass permit], but since the old mage Belial and the other school subject teachers asked themselves to come here to find them, they should be able to enter without a pass permit, right?

"I've only just arrived in Fairhaven, so I don't have [accompanying permits], but my teacher, Master Belial of the Wiener Academy, told me to come here to find him, and you can ask the Venane Academy." Sycamore replied honestly.

Joke! Even the guards guarding the city gate here are soldiers of the second rank and above, can he afford to provoke him?

"Okay, then please wait." The guards didn't embarrass him, but politely asked him to wait for a while, and one of the NPCs, who seemed to be the captain of the guard squad, turned around and entered the guard garrison next to the city gate, and it seemed that he had gone to ask the relevant people of the Venane Academy about the truth of what Wutong said.

I thought it would be a long wait, but in less than five minutes, the captain of the guard came out and nodded to Wutong: "Mr. Mage, please come with me, we have arranged a carriage for you." ”

So fast? How could An Tian City be a small city with a population of up to one million, and he didn't see the captain of the guards leave, could it be that there were still infinite communication devices here? Just give us a call and ask?

When passing by the guard garrison, Wutong looked inside curiously for a while, but did not find any special equipment.

Riding in the carriage prepared by the guards for them, they were quickly sent to the Vinane Academy District located in the northeast of Antian City, the vast academy looked endless, this scale, maybe it was really as King Kong Pea said, with a strong number of hundreds of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands of teachers! Although Wutong knows that these hundreds of thousands of teachers cannot all be spellcasters, which should also include scholars, scribes, clerks and other personnel, and even include a large number of service personnel serving the academy, but it is really an exaggeration for an academy to have such a large scale, how many spell caster apprentices must be studying here? ,

But what made him strange was that an academy with so many teachers and students was not as lively as he imagined, but very quiet, during the carriage marching, he didn't even see a few people, the entire huge academy with a strong arcane atmosphere was quiet as if there was no one, only the spire mage towers like Tallinn were densely scattered everywhere......

"Is it in class?"

Wutong poked his head out of the car suspiciously and looked around, although he was riding in the carriage, when he reached the core area of the academy, it still took Wutong almost an hour, this place is really too big.

Following the guidance of the kind coachman, Sycamore soon found his destination: the Great Hall, which is said to be used to test the caster's apprentices who came to enroll!

When he walked in cautiously, he was startled by the scene in front of him!

Trouble: I can't hold on, I'm sleepy to death, so many first, let's make up for it for free tomorrow! If I don't sleep anymore, I'll hang up!

【Overview of the Principality of Andele】:

Capital: Fairhaven

Population: 200,000,000 (51% Human, 15% Half-Elf, 11% Elf, 11% Gnome, 5% Halfling, 3% Half-Beast, 2 Half-Shapeshifters, 1% Other)

Specialties: wine, cheese, cereals, crops, books

Languages: Lingua Franca, Dragon, Elf, Halfling

The Duchy of Andère was originally one of the first five nations to be settled by humans on the continent of Kovaré. The cities of the region are known for their knowledge and education, and agriculture is very well developed in the suburbs. It is full of fertile farms and rich forests, and there are plenty of high-quality vineyards scattered around.

【Industrial】:

Adele's main output is agricultural products, which can supply both the domestic market and export needs. The oats, cereals, vegetables and wines produced in the Andère countryside are well known on the Kovarare continent. In Andele's city, the educational facilities are on par with those of Gilargo, and the Academy of Magic surpasses that of any other part of Kovaré. As a result, magicians, traps, and mages trained in Andel tend to be treated more favorably.

[Social Humanities]:

The inhabitants of Andel are mainly farmers, scholars, and magicians. Most of the countryside is pastoral farms, with occasional inhabitants congregating to form villages and towns, with very little urban disturbance to the peaceful village life.

Andele's rural life has remained unchanged for centuries, with farmers plowing the fertile land with sweat and magic, patiently waiting for the crops to grow. From central Andère to Gart in the south to Verdu in the north, the fields are full of vineyards that are used to make Andale's specialities, many of which are sold at high prices in Sahn and Vitikala.

Most of Adele has a temperate climate, with long, hot, dry summers and mild winters. The area north of Star Peak on the Andele border has relatively long and frequent winters, and summers are short and cool. Occasionally, storms from the Gulf of Edding struck the northern Andère, and weakened and disappeared before the Strait of Edin descended before invading the eastern part of Kovare.

Adele is home to two of the most respected educational institutions. Wienern College, located in the capital Fairhaven, is the first center of higher education in the Five Nations. At the moment, Wienern College, although not as well-known as Mograve University, is still highly rated and offers excellent daily classes and magic classes. Fairhaven is home to many librarians and booksellers, making it a magnet for collectors and scholars. Andele's Royal Library is not as good as the Great Library of Fort Conan, but it is also a close second.

Another educational center, Arcarix, is dedicated to the study of magic, located on the southern border of Andal, overlooking Lake Galifa. This ancient village of Sereen was taken over by Andère during the End-of-Life War, along with nearby territories. The Mentors of Arcarix don't care who rules the village, they just want to continue their magical studies in the Floating Tower, as well as impart the knowledge they have accumulated over time to their students each season.

In addition, there are many monasteries in the Andel countryside where monks who have dedicated their lives to the gods or other faiths meditate and practice their spiritual practices. For example, the warrior monks of the Oraon Monastery in the countryside of Weil, whose spiritual and physical practices are as famous as the black dessert wine of Olaon.

The Orion family operated several major trade routes in Ander, as well as lightning trains en route to Fairhaven and Passage City, as well as Thrayne and Bruland. In addition, the countryside is also quite convenient, so travelling in Adele is very pleasant. ,

【Surrounding area】:

Storm Hometown (big city, population 1,428,000)

Storm's Hometown is a large island off the north coast of Adele, originally a barren land ravaged by storms.

Passage City (large city, population 16300000)

Pathway City sits on the shores of Lake Galifa and is the center of commercial transactions in Western Andelle. In addition to being a thriving fishing port and trading center, Passage City is also home to the lavish headquarters of the Orion family. As the command center of the family, the headquarters building also greatly enhances the social status of the family members in the city. The city's most famous feature is the intricately designed lightning train station and its maintenance facilities.

Arcarix (rural, population 80,000)

The village of Arcarix sits on the southeastern shore of Lake Galifa and is most famous for its nearby sight being the suspended Magic Tower. The Magic Tower is a spell education facility, and the instructor is responsible for training mages and magicians. The Magical Council is also located in the village, where many mages and warlocks are dedicated to the study of the convenience of magic. The members of the Council are responsible for the research and operation of the Magic Tower, advising Queen Aurora on magical matters, and negotiating with their counterparts in other countries, including competitors such as the Gathering Society.

Students from all over the country want to learn the skills of a magician from their mentors, and the village's income comes mainly from the apprentices' living expenses. The number of students who are able to train as mages is relatively small, and the tutors select students according to the highest standards. While traders and visitors often pass through Arcarix, most people prefer to avoid this magical village.

Important Locations:

Part of the once-glorious kingdom of Galifa, Andele's territory is home to many of the fruits of human labor in ancient times. During the end of the war, parts of Andel were at war for years, but others were largely free from conflict. For example, the area north and east of Star Peak has been ravaged by war, and the area between Warylante Tower and Vigilante Tower is also frequently fighting. Minor clashes also erupted along the Wiener River, but more often than not, fought in the depths of what is now the Erudon Wilderness Territory.

Shattered Rock: Broken Whisper Rock sits in the middle of the Shattered Whispering Forest in the northern wilderness of Andele, with eerie shadows drifting through the woods and often echoing with strange whispering sounds. Monsters wander in the cold, deserted forest, and few dare to go deep into the forest. Legend has it that there is a ruin in the forest that has been called the Broken Rock and is surrounded by tall, twisted shrubs. This relic has been the focus of scholars since the beginning of the Galifa Empire. Some say it's a temple, others say it's a fortress against the monsters of the north. Some people say that the building was built in the forest and then forgotten, while others claim that the forest grew slowly after the building was abandoned. Whatever the truth, scholars agree that the structure is the source of the strange whispers in the forest.

Wailing Wilderness: The Wailing Wilderness is a narrow strip of land east of the village of Gaut that was the main battlefield during the period when Thrayne and Adele fought over the present-day area of South Ander. After that bloody battle, there were no more peasants working there, and no beasts roaming there. The wild grass of the wilderness was a faint rusty red, and a thick and stagnant mist filled the air. When the moon rises at night, the wilderness begins to hear the cry of battle, some say that it is the unfinished mission of soldiers who died in battle.

The name Wailing Wilderness comes from the wind that blows from Lake Galifa to Sereen mixed with some cry of anguish and despair. The sound is distant and low during the day, and loud and clear at night.

Etoile Peak Observatory: The observatory is located at the top of Etoile Peak, north of Adele.

The observatory was proclaimed by King Talon for its establishment. Daron himself was fond of observing the stars, especially astrology related to it. He announced the establishment of the observatory, but died before it was finally completed. The Observatory is now mainly used by the Council of Magic to study celestial phenomena...... )
