Episode 131 Dumbfounded
"Huh?"
Ye Jiu looked at Mao Ruoling suspiciously, they have all arrived at the gate of Night City, you can't go in?
"I'm going back to Kowloon City, don't forget that I'm still a student at the Dragon Exorcist Academy, and it's not good to be absent from school for a long time." Mao Ruoling explained with a smile.
"But it's getting dark......"
"For exorcists, there is no difference between day and night." Mao Ruoling said softly, flicked his fingers, and a black card shot at Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu stretched out his hand, as fast as lightning, and grabbed the card, "This is?" ”
"The black iron card of the Tianxia Commercial Bank, there are 20,000 gold coins in it, and you can withdraw cash at any branch of the Tianxia Commercial Bank.
"Thank you!" Ye Jiu said gratefully.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, this is what I borrowed from you, and I will pay it back later." Mao Ruoling said suddenly.
Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay you back twice in the future." ”
"It's decided?"
"It's decided!"
"Okay, I'm leaving, I'll see you again." Mao Ruoling patted the Pegasus Beast, and the Pegasus Beast raised its head at Ye Jiu, and rose to the sky, and soon disappeared into the sky.
"Will definitely see you again...... Dragon Exorcist Academy ......"
Ye Jiu muttered to himself, turned around and walked towards the gate of Night City.
……
Night City is the largest city in the province of Reims, with towering and heavily guarded walls, and a pair of stubborn Imperial soldiers walk back and forth on the walls. On both sides of the city gate, there were two teams of soldiers with swords and spears, their armor was bright, their morale was high, their eyes were sharp, and there was an indescribable elite spirit.
"Stop, you need to pay a gold coin to enter the city......"
Ye Jiu's footsteps froze, looking at the spear in front of him, his face was strange, just now he was praising these soldiers in his heart for being elite, but you asked me for a fee to enter the city?
The slap in the face came too quickly, which caught Ye Jiu off guard.
Ye Jiu stared at the leading soldier and asked seriously, "You just told me that you want me to pay the entrance fee?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the entrance fee is the custom of the night city, if you don't pay it, I will take you down and go to prison." The leading soldier reprimanded sharply, and when he heard his words, the spears in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers on both sides pointed at Ye Jiu, and the sparse passers-by who entered the city retreated one after another, watching the excitement.
"I don't have any money!" Ye Jiu replied confidently.
I don't have money to enter Maocheng!
The aggressive leading soldier didn't seem to expect Ye Jiu to respond so confidently that he had no money, but he didn't know what to say, his face was stagnant, and he suddenly became gloomy, and shouted: "Come on, take ......"
The next word was not spoken, and the leading soldier looked at Ye Jiu with a shocked face.
I saw that on Ye Jiu's body, a faint layer of golden light appeared, and the broadsword in his hand was like gold, exuding an incomparably sharp aura, an invisible coercion, swept out, and a dozen or so soldiers were overwhelmed by the impact, and retreated again and again.
"Master Exorcist, please keep your hands, we won't charge the entrance fee......," the leading soldier hurriedly bowed and said.
"Really don't accept it?"
"I really don't accept it!"
"Let's collect some points, right?"
"Master Exorcist, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, it's my dog's blindness, I shouldn't stop you from collecting the city fee, I was wrong, really wrong, please don't be like me......"
The leading soldier pleaded pitifully, the Light and Dark Continent is respected by exorcists, and the imperial army still has some deterrent power, and when he first arrived, Ye Jiu didn't want to make trouble, so after a few jokes, he swaggered into the city. The soldiers on both sides bent down and watched him leave, until they could see no human figure, then straightened up their waists and shouted at the passers-by who were about to enter the city: "What do you see, you can't enter the city yet?" ”
……
Walking into the city gate, a street about 100 meters wide, leading to the center of the city, the street is full of shops, hotels, hotels, weapon shops, restaurants, everything, it looks like a city in the real world, in terms of scale, even larger than the second-tier medium Ming City, but also magnificent.
It was dusk, it was almost dark, and the streets were still full of people.
On both sides there are thigh-thick metal pillars, fifteen meters high, the top of the metal pillar is inlaid with moonstone, emitting a hazy white light, at a glance, there are hundreds of such metal pillars, which should be similar to the role of street lamps, all used for lighting.
Walking along the street, the surprise in Ye Jiu's eyes became stronger and stronger.
He also thought that the people of the night city were similar to the villagers of Dalong Village, with poor food and clothing, and he didn't want the prosperity of the night city to be beyond his expectations, and the vendors who set up stalls on the roadside were wearing quite exquisite clothes, not linen clothes woven from hemp, but very delicate clothes, colorful and expensive.
The further you go in, the more people there are on the street, all kinds of people, some yellow-skinned, some dark-skinned, some warriors in armor, some savages in animal skins, and three-meter-tall giants, carrying hammers the size of grinding plates, swaggering through the market, standing in front of these giants, Ye Jiu feels extremely small.
"Is this the Giants?"
Ye Jiu's eyes were full of surprise.
"Uncle, how do you get to the Night City Advanced Exorcist Academy?"
"Go down the night street to the end, turn right and go in......"
"Thank you, uncle!"
It was getting dark, and he had no relatives in Night City, so he had to go to the Night City Exorcist Academy first, find the dean, someone covered it, it was better than a headless fly, and immediately regardless of day and night, he walked forward according to the uncle's instructions, walked to the street of Night Street, and turned right.
As soon as he turned around, Ye Jiu was stunned.
Thirty meters away, a twenty-meter-high white jade arched gate stands quietly, in the middle of the gate is a closed hollow iron gate, at the top of the white jade gate, the golden 'Night City Advanced Exorcist Academy' several big characters bloom with golden light, extremely dazzling, so that people can know where this place is at a glance.
On both sides of the white jade gate, there is a two-person high wall, and the wall is covered with sharp iron thorns, if anyone dares to climb over the wall to enter, they will be pierced into hedgehogs by iron thorns.
Through the hollow iron gate, I saw a large road leading to the depths of the campus, on both sides of the road, planted landscape trees, a hundred flowers blooming, moonstones shining, green green, a small white building looming.
"Night City Advanced Exorcist Academy, it's here!"
Ye Jiu took a deep breath, clenched his fists, walked over, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he suddenly felt a strong coercion, a sound full of coercion, like thunder, sounded in his ears.
"This is the Night City Advanced Exorcist Academy, stop coming!"
A young man in black clothes appeared ghostly inside the iron gate, looking at Ye Jiu vigilantly through the crack in the iron gate. The aura emanating from his body was that of a nine-star exorcist apprentice.
"It is worthy of being one of the four high-level exorcist academies of the Eastern Dragon Empire, and its courage is big enough to let a strong person at the level of a nine-star exorcist watch the door!" Ye Jiu was secretly frightened.
"Hello, I'm Ye Jiu from Dalong Village, and I want to see Dean Leyson for something!" Ye Jiu bowed to the young man and said respectfully.
"See the Dean?!"
The young man's eyes flickered, and he said, "Since the battle of Julun Fortress began, the dean has rushed to Julun Fortress and has not returned yet. ”
"Is the Dean of Academic Affairs, Lord Xi Tuo?" Ye Jiu hurriedly asked.
"This guy is about to see the dean when he opens his mouth, and he still knows the position of Lord Xituo, what is the origin?" The young man couldn't figure out Ye Jiu's origin, and with an attitude of not offending, he looked at Ye Jiu's gaze, slowly softened, and shook his head at Ye Jiu, "Master Xi Tuo is not here either." ”
Seeing that Ye Jiu was about to say something, the young man persuaded: "Night City Academy was on vacation three days ago, and now in Night City Academy, there are only a few of us guards left, the people you are looking for should not be there, so let's come back in half a month." ”
"Got a holiday?"
Ye Jiu's face was full of astonishment, the exorcist will also have a holiday?
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Leaving the gate of Night City Academy with a dejected face, standing on the night street lit by moonstone, Ye Jiu looked around blankly, where could he go in this strange city?
I thought that if I came to Night City with an auditor certificate, I could enter the college to study, but it turned out that I didn't come at the right time, and the whole school was on vacation, and none of the people who could help him were there, so what was it?
