Chapter 186: Liancheng and Imperial City

Every year, the beginning of autumn is a particularly busy day for the four main institutes of Dikun, Thorn, Weiyuan and Thunder.

Batches of students graduated and began to serve in the army and capital of the empire, and the four general institutes, which were eager to replenish new blood, would also extend olive branches to the outstanding students from all parts of the empire.

It's a competitive way to compete, and the number of students admitted to each college also shows the ranking of the four colleges.

For the proud sons of heaven from all directions, it is a huge furnace and a steel mill. As long as they can enter any of the four main courtyards, they will have a bright future in addition to the harsh and intense training.

There is a threshold for entering each college, and each will conduct a rigorous test for interested candidates. Those who pass the test will be given cultivation resources according to their grades, and as for the students who really can't get into the four major academies, what awaits them is only ruthless rejection, where to go back and forth!

To put it bluntly, it is merit-based admission. If you can't meet this standard, you can go to the other three to try, there is always one suitable, the main institute is a place where imperial talents gather, and there are often students from other empires who come to visit, although only Weiyuan and Thorn belong to the royal funding on the surface, but in fact most of the students are natives of the Roewe Empire, of course, the future employment will also stay in the Roewe Empire.

Entering the academy, in addition to the huge cultivation resources, each student can get a free battle qi magic secret book for cultivation. You must know that in the Roewe Empire, the biggest dream of countless warriors in their lives is to open the battle qi and cultivate the battle qi secret code, and the biggest dream of the nobles is to show their talents and make those in power look at them, and they will rise all the way.

The Roewe Empire was founded less than 300 years ago, and there are many war qi secret codes that are the precious wealth left by the ancients who slowly explored and accumulated.

Ordinary people can't touch the Secret Book of Battle Qi at all, and some talented and intelligent people may be able to create their own combat skills, but compared to the wealth left by the ancients, the careful teaching of the masters. Self-created combat skills are so rare and rare.

As for the combat techniques sold in the Imperial Auction House, they are either high-road goods or sky-high prices, and they also need to be qualified to enter the auction house.

I am afraid that the wealth that ordinary people have worked hard to accumulate for half a lifetime may not even be able to afford a single page, how can they touch such a scarce thing as combat skills?

Han Feng has his own luck, and his magic is carefully taught by a previously advanced plane guardian, and in terms of combat skills, he is first Ninilou's body refining experience, and then Quentin's light splitting sword qi, which is much superior to ordinary people from the beginning.

As for why he came to the Imperial City, on the one hand, Han Feng urgently needed to understand the reason for the bloody night back then, and on the other hand, Han Feng was destined to embark on a difficult road to resurrect his sister.

The qualification to enter Dikun Academy is no longer something that Han Feng needs to consider. The competition among the commoners and nobles within Dikun is very fierce, and the cultivation resources are limited after all, in addition to the battle qi stones, weapons, and secret archives, these resources are more important than the cultivation environment created by some empires.

When a group of people with higher hearts than the sky gather together to face these limited resources, there will inevitably be a fight, and the purpose of Dikun is not to be afraid that you are strong, but afraid that others are stronger than you.

When Han Feng walked out of the teleportation array, Han Feng found himself on a crowded street, mostly young people dressed in strange costumes.

There are still three days left before the beginning of the autumn enrollment, and these elites from all over the world have begun to gather in this city built from a barren land in the south of the imperial capital to recuperate and wait for the test of the academy.

In order to familiarize Han Feng with the environment. Ninilou did not enter the Dikun Courtyard, but took the two of them and a wolf on a tour of this connected city.

Liancheng was originally just an army station, and it was here that the Dragon Boat Festival was pacified by the Rongwei Empire and parted ways with Wei Chifeng to start the crusade against the whole country, and there was originally a beacon tower built here for the purpose of transmitting information.

With the unification of the Roewe Empire by Duanmuxuan and the construction of the Imperial City and the center of the Roewe Empire, this place was slowly abandoned.

Due to the difficulty of traveling back and forth to the imperial capital in a barren land, Duanmuxuan once withdrew the garrison here, but with the development of various policies of the Roewei Empire, people slowly began to migrate and take root in the land that had been suffering from war for many years.

In the end, this barren land was rewarded by Duanmu Xuan at that time to a prince, and that prince was named Duanmu Liancheng. The most learned prince among the six members of the Duanmu clan in the empire.

Considering the situation of the empire back then, Prince Duanmu refused to be treated favorably, and began to build buildings in this barren land with his retinue, and openly began to recruit students in the army across the country to cultivate military talents.

Groups of soldiers walked in from here, and finally became groups of officers who walked out from here. And this barren land slowly became fertile with the reclamation of water and the formation of a large city.

Later, after the mainland arbitration institute heard the news that the Roewei Empire had run a school to cultivate talents, the strange people who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests also joined the ranks of cultivating talents and studying ancient relics, which was the origin of the Dikun Demon Martial Arts Academy at that time. As the stall grew larger, the Roewe Empire began to show a thriving situation.

The reputation of the four major academies slowly began to spread on the mainland, and Haoyue and Lieri also opened their own academies one after another after hearing about it, but in general, the war between the two countries continued, and even if there were good teacher resources, they could no longer focus on cultivating talents in successive battles. The names of the four major colleges of the Roewe Empire have also been slowly confirmed, and many people have traveled thousands of miles through the Griffson Fortress to study, and a large number of people have stayed in Roewe after completing their studies.

Many merchants even migrated here, and people with vision began to quickly discover business opportunities, and invested their whole family funds to build their own shops in Liancheng, of course, in the end they made a lot of money.

As more and more merchants poured in, the academy city, built on barren land, was constantly expanding, and the original walls were torn down, and the prince bent his bow and shot the new walls. And this expansion of the city has been done more than once.

Slowly, traces of Liancheng appeared within the vision of the Imperial City, and the distance between the two cities was only a few hundred miles, which showed how huge the scale of this Liancheng was.

Each main academy has its own cultivation environment, occupying a corner of the city, and slowly developing to a certain scale. The location of the four major academies encloses this Liancheng, making this Liancheng a veritable city within a city.

As for the cultivation resources, they were shared according to the resolution at that time. It's not that you can use the resources on your own, you have to provide a quarter of the cultivation resources to other academies. In exchange, other colleges will also give a quarter of their resources in exchange, and all resources will be allocated by the head of the city.

The annual competition is also a way for each academy to divide resources, and it is also a demonstration of the strength of each academy.

The four main courtyards cover an extremely wide area, so Ninilou didn't take Han Feng to get familiar with them one by one, and after taking a turn around the city first, she couldn't wait to take Han Feng to the Imperial City in a flying demonic beast.

Duanmu City, the economic center of the Roewe Empire, is located in the center of the Roewe Empire's territory, just like the naming method of Falling Shadow City and Liancheng, Duanmu City directly takes the royal family name as the imperial city.

The architectural style of this imperial city is different from that of other capitals, and when the Roewe Empire first began to unify the country, it was still a barren land, except for a few grass huts next to the Miluo River.

The outer city wall is about 30 zhang high, although it is not as tall as the wall of the Griffson Fortress, but the city wall that stretches for hundreds of miles in Duanmu City is made of iron, and the thick city wall has not reflected the texture of metal for so many years, but has a layer of black. The history of the empire is only more than 200 years, and I really don't know how many manpower and iron ore were used to build the city wall in the first place.

The interior of Duanmu City is distinctive, and the original design was slowly built from the city wall, and it was built continuously, making it even more magnificent from the air.

The layout is also very distinctive, the whole Duanmu city is a city in the city, divided into two parts of the palace city and the outer city, the palace city is in the middle of the north of the whole city, it is the palace area; its south is the imperial city, which is the location of the emperor's office; the internal city wall arches the imperial city and the palace city from the east, west and south three sides, all of them are made of black iron, and they are indestructible.

However, the distribution of the periphery of the imperial city is divided into two halves by the rivers that are introduced into the imperial city, and the rivers spread throughout the city.

The river flows in from the south gate moat, and finally flows through the whole city, and exits from the east gate and the west gate moat. The rivers throughout the imperial city, including the moat, were drawn from the Miluo River, 100 miles outside the city, which ran through the empire from east to west.

The north-south axis of the city is this river, and streets around the lake are built on both sides, and the east and west sides are symmetrical.

The Imperial City has a large lake that is equivalent to four times that of a sapphire, and its name is Shanhai, which means the sea in the mountains. The lakes and rivers are home to a variety of fish that can be fed freely, and the empire opens up navigation rights in the rivers for people to enjoy during major festivals.

To the east are the bureaucratic residential and commercial districts. The greatest embodiment of the aristocratic system of the empire is here, only aristocratic families are allowed to enter and exit, most of the buildings inside are classical brick and wood structures, carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere, the streets are wide and straight, there is no debris and garbage, and the general meeting of the Imperial Magic Union and the Imperial Auction House are located here.

To the west is the seat of the common people and the Chamber of Commerce, and the chessboard-like streets are well organized, with nearly a thousand merchants trading all kinds of goods on both sides of the streets. There are many restaurants, wine shops and food stalls around the street, and the Imperial Warriors' Union is located in the middle of the West City. There is no teleportation array set up in Duanmu City, which is also a strange point. In the whole city, only this teleportation array is set up in the imperial city, which goes directly to all parts of the country.

When Ninilou took Han Feng and Rush Sky to this huge and terrifying city, it was already dawn, and although Han Feng was mentally prepared, he was still shaken by this city with a dark exterior and a tight structure on the inside. The huge blue lake shone in the sunlight like a jewel embedded in the interior, and the entire imperial city looked so orderly from the sky, and the people below were like ants.
