The vast majority of people on the mainland only know that the "Continental College" is the premier institution of higher learning on the mainland, but they do not know that its economy is also quite developed, far surpassing all the countries around it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Continental Academy is located in the northeast of the continent, and in this area, there are many small and medium-sized countries, not counting those small countries that only have a small land, there are at least a dozen medium-sized countries alone.

Here, no country dares to judge the Continental Academy as a mere academy, and not only that, the Continental Academy is regarded as the supreme king of the country in this region.

In the eyes of these countries, the Continental Academy is not an academy, but a hegemonic country that is very powerful in both military force and economy.

So many countries are entrenched here, and the reason why they have been able to maintain peace and quiet all this time is because of this "country of kings" here.

From small to large, this kind of situation can be seen everywhere on the mainland of Ceylon. There are many countries on the continent of Ceylon, excluding the three large countries and those small countries, and the number of medium-sized countries alone is as many as seventy or eighty.

With so many countries, why has there been general peace on the continent for many years, and there have been no major wars?

It is because there is a powerful country in every region, and on the one hand, these powerful countries use force to deter the surrounding countries and gather these countries around themselves, and on the other hand, they rely on the surrounding countries to intimidate other countries, so that other countries do not dare to attack easily. As a result, the current situation on the mainland has been formed: chaotic and orderly.

However, it can be seen that the calm under this kind of chaos will not be maintained forever, as long as the pattern of one side is slightly disrupted, it will definitely cause changes in the entire pattern of the mainland.

That's another topic, so let's leave it at that.

However, he said that since Situ Jin and Gareth walked into the boundary of the "Continental Academy", after walking on the dirt road for about half a day, a huge stone gate suddenly appeared in front of them, and there were four entrances under the stone gate, each entrance could accommodate about one person to pass through.

I saw that there were three big roads paved with stones in front of me, each road was very wide, and on both sides of each road stood rows of rows of green tile and red brick small buildings, these small buildings were of different heights, scattered, and most of them had their own small courtyards, the red flowers and green plants in the courtyard, some climbed out of the wall, but it was unique to look at it from a distance.

Situ Jin and Gareth stepped on the middle road in unison, and then changed to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, while slowly walking forward.

Along the way, they didn't meet many people, they walked for more than three hours, and there were gradually noisy sounds in their ears, and the two continued to walk forward, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, the scene in front of them changed again.

The three roads they had just seen were merging into one road, stretching endlessly ahead, and this road was as wide as the three roads combined, and the side of the road was no longer those neat and elegant small buildings, but was occupied by countless shops, not only that, but there were many people setting up stalls on the streets.

The whole street was full of people, and it was completely different from the relatively quiet street they had just walked on. The people on the street were dressed in a variety of ways, some in long robes, some in short robes, some in formal clothes, some in coarse cloth and short brown, in a word, they wore everything.

Because the street is wide, there are many people on the road, but it doesn't seem crowded, and most people walk on both sides of the road automatically, and it looks orderly.

Situ Jin glanced at Gareth, and then stepped on the road ahead one after another, walking all the way, but saw that there were weapons shops, clothing stores, bookstores, herb shops, food stores, inns, treasure shops, adventurer shops and other stores on both sides of the road, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't find.

The stalls also sold everything, some sold books, some sold herbs, some sold strange stones, some sold animal skins, and some sold jewelry.

Different from the stall people Situ Jin had seen before, the stall people on this street were relatively quiet, either standing or sitting, and did not shout, and some people simply sat cross-legged on the ground and closed their eyes to recuperate, looking a bit of a high-ranking person.

From time to time, pedestrians stop next to a stall and ask the stall owner about something they are interested in, and the stall owner will usually answer patiently.

However, although there is no shouting on the street, there are many people coming and going, and there are many people asking for food, so the whole street looks bustling.

Although he had known for a long time that the Mainland Academy was not comparable to ordinary colleges, seeing all this, Situ Jin was also very surprised in his heart.

Take this dazzling array of shops on the street as an example, I'm afraid that Hualin, the imperial capital of the Yaluo Empire, can't find such a complete variety

Shop, I didn't expect there to be such a prosperous scene in the territory of an academy.

The two of them walked along and watched, and Gareth was very interested in what he saw, and from time to time he stood in front of a certain stall to look at this and that.

Situ Jin is not as exaggerated as Gareth, but his eyes are also looking around, and if he sees something new and interesting, he will look at it a few more times.

"Haha, this should be the outer area of the Continental Academy, right? I have heard that the outer area of the Continental Academy is extremely prosperous, and today I saw that this is really the case!" Gareth said to Situ as he walked.

Situ Jin withdrew his gaze from the stall, looked at Gareth and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gareth continued to look left and right, but explained to Situ Jin: "The Continental Academy is divided into two areas, the inner and outer areas, and only the teachers and students of the Continental Academy are eligible to enter. The outer zone is different, completely open to everyone outside of the Continental Academy. ”

After speaking, after a pause, Gareth said: "Of course, if you want to set up a stall or store here, or live here for a long time, you have to give money, and every foreigner who comes to the outer district for more than three days must register with the outer district management office. ”

"It's so troublesome!" Situ said, "What if I don't register?"

"Hehe!" Gareth suddenly retracted his gaze to look at Situ Jin, and then let out a strange laugh: "If you don't register and then find out, then this person will definitely die a miserable death." ”

"Isn't it?" Situ said cautiously: "This mainland academy is too domineering, isn't it?"

Gareth continued: "That's right, the Continental Academy is so domineering! In this land, people have absolute sovereignty, and the most important thing is that people have absolute strength!"

Situ Jin asked again: "Then we need to register?"

Gareth smiled: "Of course we don't, we are about to become students of the Continental Academy, and then there will be our names on the register of the compound, and we can enter and exit the inner and outer districts, and we will still be used to register this only outsiders?"
