Volume 1 Chapter 20 Enter Star City
From the time he saw the city wall of Star City, Ren Tianxiang rode his horse and galloped for more than an hour, and this was when he arrived outside the gate of Star City.
The walls of Star City are eighteen meters high, with a total of four sides, each of which can be tens of kilometers long. Each side of the city wall is equipped with five gates, the gate is ten meters high and eight meters wide, it is the largest gate of all the cities in the Star Empire, symbolizing the unique status of Star City.
In fact, this gate is the second gate of Star City, which was built six hundred and fifty years ago to cope with the rapid expansion of Star City's population.
The walls of Star City are very grand, different from the walls of Guangya City that Ren Tianxiang saw five years ago and Hongyi City, which he passed by a few days ago.
The latter two, as the border defense line of the Star Empire, naturally rely on the natural danger of the Henglu Mountain Range, and the city wall is built in the valley, and the scale is not too large, while the Star City, as the capital of the Star Empire, has a magnificent city in the plains, and it is a majestic city on the vast and boundless plain.
Outside the city of Star City, some small settlements have been formed, most of these settlements are built by some merchants, dart bureaus or rural people in the surrounding countryside, and most of the long-distance transportation of goods in Star City is from here to the satellite cities in the four directions of Star City.
Of course, among these settlements, there are also some large and small bazaars.
Approaching Star City, Ren Tianxiang found that horses were not allowed to enter Star City, and there were horse houses outside the city that specialized in taking care of horses, and there were also merchants who bought horses here.
These are industries that have arisen because of Star City's policies, and if there is demand, business will naturally be formed, and later these horse houses and merchants were supported by the Star City Lord's Mansion, and gradually formed the current scale.
Ren Tianxiang went to a few merchants who bought horses and compared the prices offered by several merchants. However, the embarrassing thing is that this horse was bought by Ren Tianxiang in Beihuang Town, and because it was a good horse, it still cost him five or six gold coins. But now that he is outside Star City, if he wants to sell it, he can only sell it for a price of three gold coins at most, no matter how he calculates, Ren Tianxiang has lost a lot.
However, Ren Tianxiang has no concept of these, good horses and bad horses are the same for him, and the number of gold coins is the same for him. He is not short of money now, the good horse he rode from Xuanyuan Qingtian before bought a good price in Hongyi City, there are about two hundred gold coins, and he can't look down on two or three gold coins.
And after he entered the Star Emperor Royal Academy, he couldn't get out in most of the short time, and he had to pay a lot of money to send the horse to the horse hall, so it was better to sell the horse, and lose a few gold coins, which was better than spending money to send it to the horse hall.
So, a horse merchant bought Ren Tianxiang's horse for three gold coins.
After putting away the three gold coins, Ren Tianxiang walked leisurely to the city gate.
"This son, please stay, please show your identification. The guard who was close to Ren Tianxiang stretched out his hand to stop him and said to him.
Ren Tianxiang honestly took out the generation token that Xuanyuan Qingtian gave him from the storage ring, and then he handed the token to the guards while saying, "Ren Tianxiang, a disciple of Xuanyuan Palace, came to Star City as assigned by the master. ”
The guard took the token, checked the token over and over again, and then looked Ren Tianxiang up and down again, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Xuanyuan Hall disciple?
"That's right. I came to Star City on the orders of my master to study at the Star Emperor Royal Academy. Ren Tianxiang explained.
The guard handed the token back to Ren Tianxiang in disbelief, and then said to the guard behind him, "There is no problem with the token, let it go." ”
Ren Tianxiang took the token, thanked the guards, and then walked leisurely into the city gate.
The soldier didn't stop him again, after all, his token was really right, even if something happened, the above couldn't blame it, they also did things according to the rules.
Entering the city, Ren Tianxiang changed his previous leisurely appearance, and looked at the city in front of him with a ghostly expression.
This is the northern part of Star City, where there are no low-rise buildings that are common in the Star Empire, and some are high-rise buildings similar to modern styles. Maybe there are no high-rise buildings here, but five- or six-storey houses abound here.
There is a commercial street here, and when you enter the city gate, the commercial street here is also similar to the modern appearance, with many shops on both sides of the street, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street.
When Ren Tianxiang saw this appearance, he had a feeling of returning to modern times. Although he hadn't been home for nearly five years, he still remembered what he looked like in modern times.
It's a lot like modern times, but the pedestrians on the street are still dressed in the style of the Star Empire, which makes Ren Tianxiang slightly able to distinguish between the modern and the present.
Suddenly, Ren Tianxiang asked about the floral fragrance of violet flowers.
"You are Ren Tianxiang?" a voice suddenly came from behind Ren Tianxiang.
Ren Tianxiang turned around and saw a young girl.
She is tall and tall, and she is also very beautiful, a feeling of an iceberg beauty. The long hair is tied into a high single ponytail, which looks neat and neat.
She was wearing a white power suit with a metal badge pinned to her left collar - the school crest of the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
Seeing Ren Tianxiang turn around, the girl was stunned for a moment, as if she was slightly surprised by Ren Tianxiang's appearance. But soon she regained her cold expression and waited for Ren Tianxiang's answer.
"Ah, I'm Ren Tianxiang. Excuse me, you are Xuanyuan ......"
"Xuanyuan Liuli, my grandfather wrote to me to come here to pick you up. Xuanyuan Liuli clasped his hands to his chest, looked at Ren Tianxiang from top to bottom, and then took out a token from the storage ring that was very similar to Ren Tianxiang's first-generation disciple order, and said, "This is the elder order of Xuanyuan Palace, which my grandfather gave me, saying that this can prove my identity." ”
Ren Tianxiang nodded and took the elder order.
The moment his fingers touched the token, a force artistic conception for the Heavenly Dao surged out of the token, and Ren Tianxiang was caught off guard, almost knocked down by this majestic and fierce power artistic conception.
After such a moment, Ren Tianxiang confirmed that this was the token given by Xuanyuan Qingtian, and only Xuanyuan Qingtian would infuse his powerful artistic conception into the token so mischievously.
"Confirmed, right? If you're confirmed, come with me, and I'll take you to where you're staying. After speaking, Xuanyuan Liuli turned around and walked towards the street facing north, regardless of whether Ren Tianxiang followed or not.
Ren Tianxiang hurriedly trotted to keep up with Xuanyuan Liuli.
He didn't care about Xuanyuan Liuli's attitude, although this Xuanyuan Liuli's attitude towards him was cold, but Ren Tianxiang believed that his eyes were not wrong, this Xuanyuan Liuli definitely laughed when he was almost knocked down by Xuanyuan Qingtian's power conception, and it was still the kind of mischievous smile.
This made Ren Tianxiang firm up his thoughts, Xuanyuan Liuli's personality was definitely not as cold as she seemed on the surface.
Since he was deceived by an approachable person like Odin five years ago, he studied the knowledge of disguise carefully when he studied with Xuanyuan Qingtian, and now he can clearly see the disguise of many people, including emotions, attitudes, appearance, etc.
So he walked a few steps quickly, walked to Xuanyuan Liuli's side, and asked with a smile, "That...... Senior sister, I wonder where Master arranged for me to live?"
Xuanyuan Liuli glanced at Ren Tianxiang, and then walked forward without squinting, and said, "I'm not a disciple of Xuanyuan Palace, you don't need to call me senior sister...... Just call me Sister Liuli.
Questions about accommodation...... Because the college does not have a school building, all students live in a school district house near the college.
However, when my grandfather wrote the letter, it was already past the time for new students to sign up, and there was no school district room outside that could be rented, and there was just one room in the small courtyard that my friends and I rented, so it was cheaper for you, and we were together. ”
"Huh......? Is this appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate, since you're grandpa's disciple, we should also trust you. Xuanyuan Liuli's eyes were still looking straight ahead, but her words gradually brought a little chill, "But you remember, there are two girls who are renting with me." Under the same roof, if you have anything wrong...... I promise I'll break your legs. ”
