It's finally time for the entrance exam. We have been staying in Falkenridge for several days.

During this period, the three of us brothers and sisters, under the protection and guidance of Big Brother Gilhardt and Big Brother Gustav, got to know this bustling city first.

In Falkenridge, there are four wide main thoroughfares, each of which can accommodate more than 10 carriages of four cars alongside each other. These four main roads are known as the East-West-South-North Royal Mile, and at the center of these four royal roads is the shining jewel of Falkenridge, the Holy Palace, and the astrological platform next to it.

I reckon that the entire Sacred Palace is even larger than Winterfall, and it is hard to believe how such a magnificent structure could have been built. Gilhardt and Gustav had accompanied Uncle Slava to Falkenridge, but they were never allowed to enter the palace, so we have no idea how magnificent the Sacred Palace really was.

An astrological platform is more of a castle than a tower. The entire platform is made of black rock, the surface of which is polished and coated with a special material that smells like some kind of resin. This makes all the towers of the entire platform non-reflective.

This highest aspiration of astrologers consists of three main towers arranged in a circular formation, with corridors and abutments between them. The corridor rises gradually in a spiral shape along the periphery of the tower, ending at the highest point. There are three caps, which are located at the entrance to the corridor of the three main towers.

The corridors had open windows with many instruments protruding from them, apparently for astrological observation. The instruments reflected the brilliance of metal, and some were clearly gold or silver, and seemed to be expensive. However, the most amazing thing is the cushion cap of the supreme main tower and the astrolabe hanging on it.

The supreme main tower is known as the Starchaser Platform, and it has a huge curved vault on which a huge astrolabe hangs. The entire dome is actually transparent from the outside to the inside, while from the inside to the outside you can only see the starry sky. This is because there is a very large instrument on the dome, which is assisted by a magic array that reflects the distant starry sky on the dome. It is said that the astrolabe is always in motion, and every time it rotates at the same angle as a star in the starry sky, the star in the corresponding position on the dome will emit a ray of light, recording its distance and position in the starry sky on the astrolabe. The dome keeper will then provide the new star charts and star records on the astrologer for study and use.

As for the palace, it is like a fairyland on earth. The whole palace consists of two parts, the royal palace in the forecourt and the castle in the backyard. The vestibule is in a serious and atmospheric style, and every piece of their masonry looks solemn, so that everyone who approaches them feels depressed and puts away their cynical attitude.

The backyard is not in this style, it is more like a sacred place in the woods, quiet and harmonious, and holy. Of course, his backyard is a castle rather than a church.

It is a white castle with a white background to the distant vistas of the terrifying mountains - the White Snow Mountains. The courtyard of the castle is in a forest in the fog, and the whole building seems to rise from the clouds, connecting heaven and earth.

The castle has a red gate, flanked by watchtowers with the same height as the gates, and firing battlements under the spires. The whole castle is round, and there is a confused dispersion.

The castle consists of three main towers, which are located in the front, left and right of the castle. On the right side of the inner courtyard of the castle is an observation deck, which, like the main body of the castle, is also a snow-white color. However, his height is not as high as the main fort, but this is not to say that it is incapable of resisting invading enemies, but the terrain is like that.

The most delightful part is the castle's three-story bell tower. The bell tower has blue tiled spires with windows on both sides, and two secondary towers arch over the bell tower. When the bell rings, the singing and dancing level out, as if you are in a fairyland. Everyone in Falkenridge knew that it was the place where the princes and princesses studied, and the residence of the queen.

I suddenly became a little envious of the empress, because she was able to occupy such a large and good castle by herself, not only with the emperor's loyal love, but also with the company of her children. Perhaps, she is also the most powerful woman in the Holy Falcon Empire. When she wants anything, she can hold it firmly in her hands.

For a few days, we didn't have much effort to visit the city. Because first of all, we had to have a good day's rest, and after a long journey, Lena and I couldn't wait for a beautiful hot shower at the hotel.

Also, it probably took us about a day to buy some souvenirs and necessary supplies. I have to say, it was a brilliant idea for Lord Gilhardt to recommend that we bring some onions. Ever since Lena and I left the Zamir Territory and entered the territory of Falkenridge, we have been tormented by fermented dumplings and boiled beans with large roots, and those things taste horrible! It's a shame that Josh still eats so deliciously! If Lena hadn't made me onion soup to drink, I'd have been tossed to death on the road.

When I arrived in Falkenridge, I learned why people here have such eating habits. The climate of Falkenridge is very different from that of Zamir, where the air is humid and warm, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers; However, the air in Falkenridge is particularly dry, which is particularly uncomfortable, so they prefer to eat this fermented food to help them lock in moisture in their bodies.

Big Brother Gustav helped Lena carry the kitchen utensils as usual, and Lena couldn't bear them now, just as we needed them too. However, there is still a question mark as to whether we will be able to use these things for cooking and eating in the future.

Josh bought a new pair of breeches to replace the one he had ripped in. It's not that I'm talking about him, Josh is so naughty, if it weren't for the fact that Josh pulled the pincers of the shell-throwing crab raised by the farmer's house when he passed by a farm, maybe we would have been able to leave the cost of this breeches - this stupid brother has never taken care of money, so he doesn't know how precious and rare money is.

Lena bought a cauldron at Josh's beheaving, and I wasn't really happy. Of course, the cauldron itself didn't have a few coppers, but the thing was too big for one person to hold. It took Lena, Lena, Josh, and Big Brother Gustav to carry the thing out of the carriage and into the room. The thought of having to move again when Lena enrolled in school gave me a headache.

In the evening, a few hours before it got dark, I finally had time to browse the jewelry shops in Brooke's neighborhood. The lady at the counter of the jewelry store is a beautiful woman, but for some reason, she is dressed very ordinary. The only things that mattered were the locket around her neck and a pair of bracelets. The bracelet is very ordinary, but it looks crystal clear with the complexion of the young lady. However, the locket did not look like an ordinary object, it was very similar to the workmanship of the little pendant that Uncle Slava had given to Elena, and I suspect that the young lady was of aristocratic origin. Not only that, but I don't know the name of this young lady, but I always feel that I have seen her in Zammir, or have seen her portrait, while my father and mother were still alive. However, I can't remember where I saw it. Forget it, I don't have time to care about these things now, I'll talk about it later when I have a chance! I just want to choose a headband to match the dress my mom left behind.

However, I was disappointed by the jewels, and although the jewels were crystal clear and beautiful, none of them could compare to the ingenuity that my father gave to my mother. I immediately understood that it was not the headband petticoat, but the skirt with the headband. Probably, I'll never be as beautiful as my mother.
