After a slightly perfunctory self-introduction, Qin Ke'er led the young man towards the temple office.

It didn't take long for the two of them to walk one after the other on the delicate stone path. The young man pushed the locomotive and followed, he seemed to be very interested in everything around him, stopping from time to time to look around, looking at the flowers and rain stones under his feet, looking at the flowers and plants on the side of the road, and staring at the street signs or billboards for a long time......

Looking at the other party's hillbilly appearance, Qin Ke'er was angry, and urged a little impatiently: "Hurry up~ Wait for everyone in the office to get off work, who will handle the formalities for you~"

"Okay." The young man answered, and followed closely.

The two walked a little down the road on the outskirts of the city and came to an old building. The building is five storeys tall and has a red brick façade. Due to its age, the red bricks are dark red in color, and the surface is pitted and looks very old. But it doesn't give people a dilapidated feeling, but adds an ancient and elegant texture.

"Oh~ that's it." Qin Ke'er pointed to the red paint gate that was about to fall and said. Following her gaze, she saw a plaque hanging above the gate, on which was written a line of simple and vigorous characters: "Ancient Temple Office in the Western Continent." ”

"Hmm." The young man nodded in understanding. Subsequently, Qin Ke'er said that she had some personal matters and wanted to leave for a while, and told Zhang Tie to go through the formalities first, and then wait for her to come back here. She strengthened her tone and said, "There are a lot of bad people here, don't run around." ”

"Okay." The young man nodded cooperatively. Looking at this honest guy, Qin Ke'er frowned imperceptibly and turned to leave.

The young man parked the locomotive and walked to the door, straightened his sleeves and collar, and then pushed open the gate and walked in.

After entering, there is a vestibule, with a red carpet on the floor, floral wallpaper on the wall, and small oil paintings hanging one by one. On the wall is an old wooden cabinet with decorative utensils and objects on it. The décor and fittings throughout the room give it a rustic and heavy feel.

A thin old man sat on the side of the doorway, and when he saw the young man coming in, he got up and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Elder Ebony." The young man replied.

"Well...... "The old janitor groaned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" "No mistakes, no skipping words. Then he explained, "I didn't receive an appointment from the Ebony Elder and can't let you go up. ”

"My name is Zhang Tie, I am from the Northern Wilderness Continent, please take the trouble to report." The young man said politely.

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and suddenly said, "I remembered!" Then, pointing to the corner of the antechamber, he said, "Turn right over there, take the elevator up to the fifth floor, and the Ebony Elder is waiting for you." ”

The young man thanked the janitor, took the elevator up to the fifth floor, and knocked on the office door.

An old man in good spirits greeted him. He looked at the young man carefully for a while and asked, "Young man, I am Ebony Duan, may I ask what your name is ......?"

"Iron Slag Norseth." The young man replied.

"Good! Come on in! Ebony pulled the iron slag into the door with a surprised face, poured him a cup of hot tea, and then said, "We have done what the messenger has told us, and this is your admission letter." With that, Ebony took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to the iron slag.

The iron slag took it, opened it and looked at it for a while, and it read:

[Admission Notice of Central Yincheng Military Academy]

After reading the contents of the scroll, Iron Slag solemnly thanked Ebony Duan. Ebony waved his hand, saying it should be. Then he told him that this was the base camp of the temple and that it must be hidden. From now on, his external identity is "the escort student of the War Bear Temple".

Ebony Duan explained that the War Bear Temple was an ancient armed force, and there were no subordinate branches, so it would not be crowded and passed around. Ebony also instructed that only he and the Courier knew the true identity of the Iron Slag, and he told the Iron Slag not to mention it to anyone, including the people of the Ancient Temple.

"After a long time, many people's beliefs are not firm...... "Ebony sighed to himself, "We are sorry for our ancestors for not teaching the younger generation well." ”

Faced with the old man's sigh, Iron Slag didn't know how to answer, and chose to be silent.

Sensing the embarrassment of the iron slag, Ebony smiled and laughed at himself: "When people are old, they talk a lot, young people don't mind." Iron Slag shook his head and said no.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Ebony came in with a voice, and the door opened as soon as the words fell. I saw Qin Ke'er walk in pretty, and then bowed respectfully to Ebony Duan, and said softly, "Elder, Ke'er is here." ”

"Come, young people get to know each other, this is Zhang Tie, a classmate from the Northern Wilderness Continent, and he is the descendant of our war bear lineage." Ebony introduced her with a smile on his face.

Qin Ke'er didn't answer, but just looked at the iron slag without saying anything. The latter stood up knowingly and said to Ebony Duan, "Elder, we have already met, and she came to pick me up just now." ”

Seeing this, Ebony smiled and said that people are old and easy to forget. Then he said that they were classmates from the same college, and they must be diligent in their correspondence in the future, take care of each other, and so on.

Listening to the words of the ebony elder, Qin Ke'er was full of slander in her heart. Where is this to introduce her classmates, it's simply to introduce her to a blind date. The kind demeanor of the elder, and the tone full of expectation, seemed to be eager for them to open the house immediately and have a small one next year.

Who will marry this hillbilly? Did you go to the northern wilderness to cultivate the fields? Qin Ke'er thought so in her heart, but her mouth responded sweetly a few times.

"Try to help Zhang Tie get familiar with the environment here before the start of school, you don't have to come back during the period, and the hourly salary will be paid to you, okay?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Ebony said.

"Okay." Qin Ke'er replied obediently.

In this way, Tie Slag and Qin Ke'er said goodbye to the ebony elder and prepared to go to the Central Silver City Military Academy together.

Out of the office gate, Tie Slag rode on the motorcycle and motioned for Qin Ke'er to sit up. Qin Ke'er pursed her mouth and said that she was not used to riding a locomotive, and it was not far anyway, just walk back. Helpless, Tie Slag had no choice but to push the locomotive and follow behind Qin Ke'er. After all, he had just arrived here, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was the base camp of the temple, plus the identity of a wanted criminal in Yincheng, it was really difficult to break around.

After walking for more than an hour, the outline of the city gradually appeared in front of me. In the distance, five islands of various sizes float above the city.

This is the legendary Eternal City, the miracle of mankind. Although he had imagined the appearance of the city in Zi Yanqing's descriptions before, and had seen the illustrations of the sketches in books, now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he knew how magnificent and majestic the city was.

The perimeter of the city was a tall and heavy wall, which stretched as far as the eye could see! Such a huge project is not at all like the work of human beings, but more like the miracles of the gods.

Not an inch of land around the city is barren, either white stone roads or verdant meadows, blooming flowers, and towering ancient trees.

"Beautiful, isn't it? There are not many mistakes," Qin Ke'er asked back. Looking at the shocked look of the iron slag, she recalled the first time she had been here, and she had a common feeling in her heart.

"Well, it's okay." Iron Slag nodded in reply. He probably saw more flowers today than he had ever seen in his life.

"Okay?" Qin Ke'er couldn't help frowning, she didn't expect this hillbilly from the Great Northern Wilderness to be so arrogant, seeing this palace in the world, it was just "okay". For this, an inexplicable anger rose up in her.

"Okay." Iron Slag looked at the magnificent city and subconsciously replied.

"This is the greatest city in the history of mankind, the Eternal City." Qin Keer emphasized.

"Really?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Iron Slag asked casually, as for what the answer was, he didn't care at all.

Looking at the other party's understatement attitude, Qin Ke'er felt even more unhappy, isn't he just a rag picker from the Great Northern Wilderness? Why just drag it like that! I saw her gaze staring, looking directly at the iron slag.

However, Iron Slag's attention had long been attracted by the spectacular scene in front of him, and he didn't notice the changes in Qin Ke'er at all. His indifferent expression and casual tone aroused Qin Ke'er's anger even more. If the gaze could kill, then he would be dead, and he had died many times, still in a tragic way......

"What's the use of this wall being so high?" Iron Slag asked suddenly.

"Of course, it's to defend against foreign enemies, it's really stupid~" Qin Ke'er took the opportunity to scold.

"Aircraft can't stop it, mechs can't stop it, missiles can't stop it, artillery shells can't stop it, even power armor can't stop it......" Iron Slag asked rhetorically, "Who can you defend against?" ”

"Ah......" Qin Ke'er was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, she didn't expect this hillbilly to be a little knowledgeable.

"Defend against the beasts?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Iron slag prompted.

"Yes......" Qin Ke'er nodded, regained her confidence, and said, "Count you smart~"

"The question is, where did the beast come from?" "Ah......h No mistakes, no word skipping. "Ah......" "Do you need to defend with a wall dozens of meters high?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Look at that...... That's ......" Qin Ke'er suddenly pointed to the floating island at the highest point and shouted.

"What's that?" Iron Slag asked.

"Beacon of Eternity." Qin Ke'er successfully changed the topic.

"I know, there are God-given lands, solid fortresses, crown districts, uptown ......"

"Wow~ Xueba~ Zhang Tie, you are so good, you must be a good student in school." Qin Ke'er pretended to be adoring, thinking that this hillbilly was really difficult to deal with. As the saying goes, hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated.
