Sure enough, as Ling Xiaotian thought, after Shangguan Bing'er entered the city, he went back to the inn directly, and he didn't go out, so he went back with confidence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info//Baidu search:Read novels//

The next day, Ling Xiaotian deliberately got up late, he didn't want to be bumped into by Shangguan Bing'er again, in fact, they left early in the morning, just like Qilin Town, Shangguan Bing'er swore that she would never come to Blues City again in her life, here, she was once again "humiliated" by Ling Xiaotian!

After breakfast, Ling Xiaotian slowly got into the carriage, the coachman was already waiting outside the door, as soon as he got into the car, the coachman said, "Young Master Ling, let's leave an hour and a half later than the arranged time!" ”

"What's wrong? Does it have any impact? Ling Xiaotian asked.

"Nope!" The coachman smiled and said: "I just speed up on the road, it is estimated that we will reach the next city after the sun sets, and we can go to the passing town to eat at lunch, and we can only solve it in the car!" ”

"It's okay, as long as you can have a good meal at night!" Ling Xiaotian said indifferently, if he was asked to sleep a little more in the morning and eat a good meal at noon, he would choose to sleep a little more in the morning without hesitation, he never felt that he slept until he woke up naturally one day, it was really a bit miserable to say!

The road was still so bumpy, Ling Xiaotian began to miss life on earth, whether it was a car or a train, or an airplane, even if it was a motorcycle, it was much faster than the current carriage in terms of speed, and the road surface was also smoother, and now the road they took was called an official road, but the potholes were not enough to compliment people, and the speed of the carriage did not exceed forty miles per hour, note that it was forty miles, not forty kilometers.

Woo, ** is about to be turned in half, Ling Xiaotian is very uncomfortable moving his position on the car, the loss is the car prepared by the Gongsun Earl's Mansion, which is padded with a thick layer of soft cushion, if it is replaced by an ordinary carriage, he will not be able to stand it for a long time, if it is not for the preservation of strength, he will definitely use the feather transformation technique to fly to Weijing City.

It is estimated that it is impossible to invent a car, but it should not be a problem to invent a practical shock absorbing device, the easiest way is to install a shock absorbing spring on the chassis of the carriage, Ling Xiaotian secretly made up his mind, he must think about this matter when he has time in the future, because there will be no less when he rides a carriage in the future, you must know that the carriage and horses are the most common means of transportation in the Phantom Cloud Continent.

"Young Master Ling, you must be feeling uncomfortable sitting!" The coachman smiled and said, "Bear with me for a while, in two or three hours, we will be there!" ”

Two or three hours! If two or three minutes is about the same, besides, even if it is there, it will only end today's journey, and tomorrow it will take most of the day, and it will not be until the afternoon to reach Weijing City, woo, Ling Xiaotian can only endure it!

……

Finally, there was Weijing City in front of him, Ling Xiaotian's head poked out of the carriage window, looked at the high city wall not far away, and asked, "Master coachman, the city wall of this Weijing City looks like it is higher than Beirut!" ”

"Yes, Young Master Ling!" The coachman explained: "The city of Vijing is a large city in the eastern seaside of the empire, only a hundred miles away from the sea, and it is an important coastal defense town, so the walls are relatively high, in order to resist the enemy coming from the sea. The city is a bit larger than Beirut and has a larger population! ”

"That's it!" Ling Xiaotian nodded, and then asked, "You just said that the coastal defense town is important, is there often war here?" ”

"Not often!" The coachman said with a smile: "Although there were often some frictions between the three empires before, they were all dominated by the army, and most of them occurred at the border junctions, after all, the development of the navy is a very resource-consuming thing, and the cost of cultivating a navy can feed five infantrymen, so the three empires do not attach much importance to the navy!" The current navy is mainly to deal with pirates and protect the ships of merchants! ”

It turns out that this is the case, so to speak, the military thinking of the Phantom Cloud Continent is very different from the countries on the earth, they pay more attention to the construction of the air force and navy, and whenever they encounter disarmament, the army is the first to "go" to the front, and even many people feel that a country's air force and navy are the most important embodiment of the country's combat effectiveness.

This is a good explanation, there is no air force in the Phantom Cloud Continent at all, the navy and the air force are both as long-range protection of the sovereign territory of the military, they put the vast majority of their energy on the army, undoubtedly the focus of defense on the land, or even on the mainland, these are two different military concepts, but also according to the specific situation of the Phantom Cloud Continent formed ideas.

The city gate is getting closer and closer, in fact, Ling Xiaotian has been worried about whether Shangguan Bing'er is also going here to apply for the Amethyst Fighter Academy, but there is no trace of her along the way, Ling Xiaotian is relieved, in fact, Shangguan Bing'er is going to the Holy Relic City, he doesn't know.

The gates of the city are very strict in the inspection of people entering and leaving, in case pirates or spies from other countries invade, these two kinds of people generally do not enter the city to sabotage, pirates are to buy daily necessities, not to mention spies, to spy on intelligence.

Such inspections are not seen in inland cities like Beirut.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and one of the soldiers asked, "Who is in the carriage, and what are you going to do in the city?" ”

The coachman took out a famous card and said, "This is the carriage of Count Jingcheng, the grandson of Beirut City, and the eldest son of Viscount Ling Daiyan is sitting in the car, who is here to participate in tomorrow's Amethyst Academy enrollment, this is our identity certificate!" ”

"Why did the Viscount's son ride in the Earl's carriage?" The soldier asked.

The coachman hurriedly said, "Young Master Ling has been engaged to our eldest lady, and the two families are now a family!" ”

The soldier opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look, there was only Ling Xiaotian alone, and he returned his identity certificate to the coachman with confidence, and said: "You can enter the city, remember, the city rules of Weijing City are much stricter than your Beirut, after entering the city, you are not allowed to cause trouble, you were caught by the city guards, but it is not a joke, when the time comes, we don't care which nobleman you are, this is the rule of the empire!" ”

"We know!" The coachman drove the car into the city.

The liveliness of Vijing is much better than Ling Xiaotian imagined, if Beirut is already a big city, compared with here, it has become an ordinary small city, the buildings in the city are also very stylish, most of the houses are built of stone, and there are statues and pools of water spraying everywhere on the street, it is said that this is to meet the needs of firefighting in wartime, stone buildings and enough water sources, fire attacks have little effect on Weijing.

The bluestone road surface is much smoother than the official road, and soon, the carriage arrived at the inn, and the room was already booked.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still some time before dinner, Ling Xiaotian wants to take advantage of this time to wander around the city, because he has to take the exam tomorrow, and he can't see any way at night, even if he goes to recognize how to go to Amethyst Academy, it's good!

Letting the groom stay in the inn to rest, Ling Xiaotian went out after asking the location of the Amethyst Academy.

The innkeeper said to a young man: "Hasn't this Amethyst Academy long since its decline, why do so many people still apply for the exam every year?" ”

"I don't know!" The young man said, "Shopkeeper, don't say you don't know, I've been living here for almost twenty years, and I don't know why!" It is estimated that the people in Amethyst Academy are sick, and so many candidates come to take the exam every year, but the people who can get in, added together for more than ten years, can be counted on one hand, if they can recruit more students, they will not fall to the current point! ”

"Who said no, the people from Amethyst Academy are really sick!" The shopkeeper is worthy of being a businessman, and said: "Seeing that so many students come to apply for the exam every year, they just don't accept it, and it's not that the dormitory is not enough to live, and it's not that the number of tutors is not enough!" It's like we're here, the guests are here, our room is empty, but we open our eyes and talk nonsense, saying that there is no room, fool, absolute fool! ”

The Amethyst Fighter Academy is very close to the inn, and it only takes twenty minutes to walk.

Standing at the gate, to be honest, Ling Xiaotian didn't expect that the Amethyst Fighter Academy turned out to be like this, in fact, he had already been mentally prepared, just imagine that an academy that had been in decline for a hundred years must be in tatters to the extreme, but the situation in front of him surprised him!

Not broken, but luxurious!

From the front, the college looks like an ancient European-style castle, in front of the gate is a moat five zhang wide, through the suspension bridge, is the main gate, a two-zhang high gate plus a magnificent gatehouse, the height is more than twenty meters, and then the city wall, also fifteen meters high!

Further inside, there are spire-like buildings, scattered and scattered, with lighthouses, watchtowers, bell towers, and so on!

"Oh my god, this is Bauhinia Academy?" Ling Xiaotian grew his mouth in surprise and said, "Old immortal, I'm not dreaming, this is not at all different from what I imagined!" ”

In Ling Xiaotian's imagination, this must be a dilapidated place that can no longer be broken, and it is estimated that it would be very good to be able to preserve a few buildings, not to mention things like gates, moats, and suspension bridges!

"What's so strange!" The old immortal said slowly, it seems that he has known the situation here for a long time.

"Isn't that strange?" Ling Xiaotian pointed to the big castle and said, "Just now I thought this was the home of a rich man or a nobleman, and when I walked into the palace that I thought was built by the emperor here, how could it be the Amethyst Academy, this is really incredible!" A school that has not recruited students well for a hundred years can be preserved so intact, this ...... How is this possible! ”

The old immortal smiled and said: "At first, I also thought it was impossible, here's the thing, Amethyst Academy is a self-interest fighter academy, and the first dean at that time, that is, the founder of this academy, is a rich businessman!" It is said that the family's money will not be spent in several lifetimes, and the establishment of the college did not think of making money from it, so it has been maintained until now! ”

"Where is this that can not be spent in several lifetimes, and this is not spent in dozens of lifetimes!" Ling Xiaotian exclaimed: "To maintain such a huge building, the cost of a single thought is more than tens of thousands of gold coins, I still think it is incredible, I originally thought that I would come here to endure hardships, but I didn't expect to come here to enjoy happiness!" ”
