Chapter 3: The Bell of the Regents
Entering the Lancheng Metaphysical Academy is like entering another city, the colorful hemispherical buildings form a stark contrast with the white house lofts outside Lancheng, and the wide roads crisscross and stretch towards hundreds of colorful hemispherical buildings, like a large net.
The six minarets each stand in a corner, and they are connected to each other by a wide wall about 100 meters high, these walls tightly wrap the Xuan Academy, which occupies a tenth of the area of Arashi Castle, and if you look down from the sky, it looks like a huge spider web has formed in the middle of the six towering ancient trees, and countless colorful beetles are stuck to the spider web.
At a glance, the entire Xuan Academy was full of youthful atmosphere, and all the young men and girls walking on the academy avenue were walking together, the youngest was about ten years old, and the older ones were at most twenty, but the vast majority of them were teenagers around fifteen or six years old.
The greatest wish of those who are admitted to the Xuan Academy after the test is to be recruited as a member of the Xuanzong Palace, and the Xuanzong Hall will only come to the Xuan Academy to select people at two special age groups, fifteen and twenty years old.
The threshold selected at the age of fifteen is the senior master level, and the threshold selected at the age of twenty is the junior monarch level, not all those who meet the standard are included, there are different places every year, and the specific number of places is determined by the discussion of the six major Xuanzong halls.
Except for those students who knew that they had no hope of entering the Xuanzong Hall at the age of twenty, and would graduate early and leave the academy in order to find a way out earlier, the vast majority of the students would stay in the Xuanzong Academy until the age of eighteen, that is, when they would normally graduate, and a few would continue to stay in the Xuanzong Academy, waiting for the last selection.
Possessing the completion badge of the Xuanzong Academy is nominally protected by the Xuanzong Palace, and it is easier to get a good public position when returning to their respective countries, but its biggest advantage is that it can freely enter and exit the Fusion Hall of the Xuanzong Palace, and without spending money at all, you can enter the Fusion Hall and fuse yourself to the twelfth level.
The down-and-out Xuanzong Hall now charges five hundred gold coins per person at a time, and if it can be successfully fused at one time, it is not enough, sometimes it takes more than ten or twenty times, which is also a huge consumption, so a Xuanzong Academy completion badge can save a lot of expenses for the Xuanzhi who wants to improve their strength.
As for the benefits of entering the Xuanzong Palace, not to mention, according to different internal positions, not only can you receive a monetary subsidy every month, but you can also exchange it for shop pages and some things that are difficult to buy according to merit points, especially shop pages with more than five stars that are difficult to see on the black market.
These are all what Sang Yue told Long Chen before leaving, and to a certain extent, these are also the benefits that sound very good, so that Long Chen, who was not very reluctant to go to the Xuan Academy, still came to Zilan City according to Ye Ruxue's original instructions.
Compared with the young students who come and go on the academy avenue and are dressed gorgeously and brightly, Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng's dresses are really eye-catching, not that those students all have a lot of money at home, mainly those who can enter the Xuan Academy, and which one of them will come in so shabby? No matter how bad they are, they will take the money that their respective national household departments rewarded at the beginning to buy a few good clothes, after all, entering the Xuan Academy can be said to be a carp jumping over the dragon gate, who would care about the money for the purchase of clothes with ten or twenty silver coins?
For these strange eyes, Long Chen has long been accustomed to it, and now he has no time to think about what clothes are not clothes, he has less than ten gold coins on his body, and he doesn't know how much tuition he has to pay, he can save a little, and he can wear shabby clothes without affecting his entry.
Of course, Zhu Zicheng, who was very thick-skinned, didn't feel that it was unnatural to be stared at, on the contrary, he showed that bright white toothed bright smile at some beautiful girls who looked at him with disdain from time to time, and when he asked about the Worm Xuan Palace, he was obviously teased and misled, and led Long Chen to walk towards the Insect Xuan Hall with the shortest route.
When he was about to arrive at the main hall of the Worm Xuan Department, Zhu Zicheng said very proudly: "Long Chen, do you know why I know that those guys are lying?" I'll teach you some tricks, this trick is especially useful when asking for directions, remember to stare into his eyes, if he knows how to go the way you asked, when he hears the name of the place, his head will move, his body will tilt, and his eyes will unconsciously turn in that direction, if he doesn't know or is thinking, his head will be up, and his eyes will look up, so three of those guys are lying just now, and one is not knowing. ”
Long Chen glanced at Zhu Zicheng and said, "Not everyone has such a good sense of direction and memory. ”
Zhu Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Your words are very reasonable, my teacher often looks in the wrong direction, just say how this trick at the bottom of the box doesn't work on the teacher, it turns out that it's not that I observed it wrong, but that the teacher has a problem, by the way, what are you going to do after you enter the book?"
Long Chen shook his head and replied, "I don't know yet." ”
At this time, Zhu Zicheng leaned into Long Chen's ear and whispered: "According to the rules, it is estimated that you will have to test the amount of Xuan Qi later, if you really want to hide the identity of the dual system all the time, it is best to put away the forbidden code now, otherwise it is very likely to be seen when you enter it, and I will tell you what method you can use to prevent the difference between being seen by others." ”
"Hmm. ”
Long Chen nodded, immediately put away the forbidden canon, and smiled at Zhu Zicheng: "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise there would really be no silver three hundred taels here." ”
Zhu Zicheng asked with some confusion: "What is the three hundred taels of silver here?"
"Uh, an allusion, I'll tell you back. ”
Long Chen replied vaguely, and stopped, looking up at the earth-colored arc-domed hall on the steps in front of him, which was as integrated as a bronze cast, only to feel a sense of vastness like facing the sea, not because of the majestic scale of this hall, but because the hall silently exuded a threat as if there was an insect emperor lurking inside.
At this time, Zhu Zicheng slapped Long Chen fiercely and explained: "Don't stay here for too long, listen to my teacher, most of the buildings in the Xuan Academy are equipped with the Regent Clock, and the entire academy is full of Regent Sounds, the closer you get to those buildings, the stronger it becomes, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a state of distraction, and then the Xuan Qi in your body will automatically drain." ”
"No wonder it feels a little weird. ”
Long Chen said suddenly, closed his eyes slightly and switched to the control state, guiding the Xuan Qi to clear his mind, and at the same time found that it was just a moment of loss of consciousness just now, and the Xuan Qi in his body had lost a lot, it seemed that what Zhu Zicheng said was not false at all.
