Scholars Tower. The Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is an independent institution.

In reality, it can be considered a small town in its own right. It is small in size and completely open-plan. From the bridge across the river into the town, to the hills and greenery on the other side, the distance is only 12 kilometers in a straight line.

It is said to be a tower of scholars. In reality, however, there are no towers. The tallest building here is a stargazing platform, which is about 7 stories high, making it not a tall tower. Even compared to the manor villas of many big nobles, it is much shorter.

Scholars are of no particular nationality. The lines between teachers and students are also blurred. It's actually a melting pot of knowledge. The saying of the tower comes from the name of the tallest building in the crystallization of knowledge in the ancient cultural inheritance, which means that it is the highest peak of the wisdom of the continent.

However, the scholar tower, which seems to be developed, is not accessible to everyone. The Scholar Tower has the strictest knowledge assessment standards in the whole continent, and you will be assessed in terms of information gathering ability, analytical ability, innovation ability, and even personality assessment, social inclination, religious beliefs, etc. Only if you meet the Scholar standard will the Scholar Tower be developed for you.

The assessment is not only a paper exam, but also includes various methods such as actual subject assessment and transaction processing. Dhoney's original assessment was to conduct archaeology and explore ruins, which is why he formed a deep friendship with Locke.

"However, it is very difficult for outsiders to enter the Scholars Tower. Doni said embarrassedly, the specific location of the Scholar Tower is not secret, but the inner and outer three floors are protected by elite troops stationed in various empires.

If you are a person who is not qualified to enter, you will basically block the side of the defense area, and you can't even see the area of the scholar tower at all.

"Unless it's to recommend a scholar to take the exam. Doni continued, "I do have a recommendation. However, I can only recommend two people. So only Egret and Jayne can go in with me. ”

You've just ruled out Nina, Locke, and Nightcat. Bai Lu's face twitched, and he said, "Even the two of us don't have much chance of passing the scholar assessment." ”

"Jayne has been studying dragon ancient writing and history for many years. There is a certain foundation, and there should be no problem with the minimum standard of assessment of scholar assistants. Dhoni thought for a moment before responding. "As for the egret, I suggest you go for the junior scholar's assessment. I've heard that you're very good at trapping. The chances of passing the assessment are very high. ”

It should be that the space-time elves are very accomplished in trap science. The egret knows its own business. By Dhoni, he is probably referring to his own recreational activities through the trap of infinite hell. But if you answer in writing, I'm afraid the result will be embarrassing.

As soon as Egret said what he was worried about, Doni smiled unconcernedly. "Most of the assessment of the scholar tower is biased towards reality, and trap science only focuses on the actual ability to break it, and does not care about the assessment on paper at all. So you don't have to worry, or rather, your situation is a little bit more favorable for this. ”

Now that the decision was made, everyone began to pack their things and prepare to go. Locke, Nina, and Night Cat, as well as Illian in a daze, prepared to rest in the city of Kaguya next to the Scholar's Tower. Egrets, Jayne, and Doni enter the Scholars Tower together, and after conducting an assessment, assist Doni in finding clues about Dragon Valley.

Through the previous incident, the airship center is already familiar with the egret and the others. In particular, the egret itself was granted a lifetime free ride in the grand class because it solved a big moth in the airship company. This makes the egret very uncomfortable.

The itinerary of several people was organized, and the airship center was also arranged in the first place. A few people didn't wait for a few hours before they got on the luxurious airship that the Kazan Empire flew to replenish. Head to Kalaya City and the Scholar's Tower.

Although these two locations were not included in the original itinerary, the managers of the airship company on the Kazan side were willing to give the green light to set up a special itinerary for Egret and the others.

"At the end of the day, it's Nina and Egret who have a big face. Locke smacked his lips and said with some envy. "The little brother has just debuted, and he has been in the limelight everywhere. Even an empire like Kazan is willing to make friends. ”

"Hahaha, Your Excellency Locke, we are also willing to make friends. The captain of the airship came to look for the egret and his party, and as soon as he arrived at the room of the special class, he heard Locke's words and hurriedly spoke. "Several of them are A-level explorers of the Explorers Guild. I am deeply honored to have chosen to fly on our airship. ”

"Thank you so much for creating a special itinerary. Dhoni nodded at the captain, "As for the entry of the Scholar Tower, I have already discussed it with the defense force of the Scholar Tower. I believe that there will be a response to the airship soon. ”

"It's a great honor to be able to stop at the Scholars Tower. The captain saluted Doni, in this society, there may be people who do not respect the nobility, but there are basically no people who do not respect knowledge. Even a robber who has done a lot of evil knows the benefits that knowledge and advanced equipment will bring to him.

Therefore, even the purest scholars will not be persecuted or killed because of people when they travel all over the mainland.

Well, but Doni, who studies history and ancient books, may not be able to say that it is simple. If you know the history well, you can know the world in advance. No matter what era the history is, it is a record of the struggle for power and interests, and it is presented on paper in a gorgeous coat. Dhoni is more able to study and see through these, and he has enough experience and ability to deal with affairs.

Egret knew that the person who could explain the beauty of his actions in the first place was Dhoni except Nina.

The airship is fast. Locke found a lot of ale and played with everyone in a gag for the night. Early the next morning, the airship arrived at the range of the Scholars Tower.

Dhoni took Egret and Jayne off the airship and greeted Locke. "Don't cause trouble in Kazuya City. In a few days at most, we'll have results here. ”

"I'm like a child!" Locke scolded, waving at Doni.

Dhoni pushed his glasses and shook his head helplessly. He then led Egret and Jayne out of the Airship Center in the Scholars Tower.

"I guess I'm not mistaken. As soon as the egret came out, he looked at Doni with some dumbfounded. "There are actually more than a dozen airships parked in the center of this airship, doesn't it mean that there are only about a hundred or so in the entire continent?"

"It's an airship for exploration. Dhoni explained, "It's not as comfortable as a big passenger airship." I've once piloted one, and in addition to being fast enough, even the food had to be taken care of by itself. ”

That's good enough! The egret howled in his heart, sure enough, he was full and didn't know how hungry he was.

"Now the Scholar Tower has the technology to build and repair airships. Doni continued, "It's just that the construction of the magic furnace can't keep up. Otherwise, the number of airships on the continent would never be so small. ”

The magic energy reactor on the airship needs a glorious magic energy reactor, which can't be restored at all with current technology. It's not that the technical conditions are not satisfied, but the materials for building the Radiant-level Magic Energy Reactor are incomparably scarce.

The egret is still reminiscing about the value of the many airships in the Scholar Tower. I saw a group of people hurriedly walking by, and one of the men in the blue robe looked back and saw Doni, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he actually left the team and walked over.

"Isn't this an old antique Dhony?" said the man who came with a strange smell of yin and yang. "It's a pity that you're coming back late, and your favorite Susan scholar is about to be taken away by a visiting delegation from the Dean Empire. ”

What kind of gossip is this?!

Susan?

Dhoni's crush?

A visiting delegation from the Dean Empire to take away?

For a while, there was so much information that the egret could barely react.

Doni didn't even change his complexion. "Susan is going to be taken away by Dean's visiting group, when did Dean's guys become so capable?"

"You didn't care about it. The man sneered, "The Dean Empire has sent a history research expert from the Central Research Laboratory. Exchange the ancient technology of the elves for the data of the small magic energy activation device. As a result, Prince Marlon fell in love with Susan and passed the two tests that Susan had set at the beginning. Now there is only one thing left to complete all the tests. When the time comes, it's too late for you to cry. ”

"Prince Marlon?" Dhoni had heard of this person, "the rumored genius prince of Dean is a man who can pass two tests, and he is worthy of his reputation." ”

"Wait!" Egret became more and more confused as she listened, "Can you explain what happened first?"

"Who is this?" the man gave the egret a strange glance and turned at Doni.

"Your Excellency Egret and Your Excellency Jayne who have come to participate in the Scholar Examination. Dhoni reached out and introduced Egret and Jayne. "How long has the third test been going on?"

The man's etiquette was good, although he was weird to Doni, but he gave a standard salute to Egret and Jayne. "It's only been going on for just over two hours. However, Malone's knowledge should not be underestimated. The previous two tests failed to survive two days. ”

"The third test is the difference in the nature of the gap. The first two are not so much tests as thresholds. Doni nodded absently, "Susan's own ability is not weak, I guess you are nervous in vain." ”

"I've already told you that!" I guess it was Doni's attitude that really made him angry. The man shouted angrily, turned and chased in the direction where the crowd had left.

It was only at this time that Doni began to explain to the unclear looking Egret and Jayne.

"I'm sorry for the hiccup. "Our trip may be a little delayed. ”

"It doesn't matter. The egret's eyes revealed the flame of gossip. He looked at Doni with burning eyes.

"Explain quickly, who is this Susan for you?"
