Chapter 31: The Coachman

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye since the departure of Yingao City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although Sun Chenghuan was not born in Yingao City when he was a child, but in another city close to the border of Astrana, in his memory, he never went out of the 40-kilometer range of Yingao City.

But ten days later, he was already 500 kilometers away from Yingao City.

He still remembers that when he was a child, he saw a sentence on the ancestral teaching, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles.

Ten thousand books, the books he confidently read, not three thousand, but two thousand, but the road he has traveled is indeed too few.

This time, in ten days, there were thousands of miles gone.

But this thousand miles have taken ...... It really doesn't make any sense.

Every morning together, they got into the carriage, and then, all day in the carriage, although in the carriage provided by the inn for the nobles, there was everything to eat, drink and even books, but it was really boring to sit for a day.

Outside the window of the carriage, there is the standard view of the official road: trees stand neatly on both sides of the road, one every few meters.

It's more boring than the books that Sun Chenghuan has read since he entered Yingao Academy in the carriage for free.

What made him even more unhappy was that in the carriage, which was not very big, there were two people whispering some little jokes and other whispers, and he was really more than a figure next to him.

So, more often than not, he could only come to the front of the carriage, sit next to the driver, and talk to the driver.

Except for Marlena who remembered to tell Sun Chenghuan about her sister and called him in, he wouldn't get into the carriage if he was fine.

Fortunately, as the general mode of long-distance transportation for the aristocracy, this kind of post station transportation provided by the state and paid for by the nobles themselves, basically Sun Chenghuan will change a coachman to sit there every day.

Ten hours a day is an ordeal for Sun Chenghuan, and even more so for those drivers who basically spend most of the year like this.

Therefore, Sun Chenghuan, who was sitting next to them, became the object of their chat.

Sun Chenghuan is also a person who is very good at chatting.

So, basically every time he came out of one post station to the next post station, and in the ten-hour rush time every day, Sun Chenghuan was able to know some general knowledge of all the cities that this road passed.

In the city that I just passed by, in the south of the city, there is a street shop that sells snacks is very famous, in addition to the delicious food, the proprietress of this shop is also very beautiful......

The city where the inn is located tonight is the most abundant nightlife within a radius of 100 kilometers, as for what is nightlife...... You don't understand even a little kid.

Something like that.

Another example, the tenth day.

"Tonight's destination is Nazaire...... You're probably about the same age to go to the Seventh Academy, right?"

After eating what Sun Chenghuan took out of the carriage as a snack and gave him something, the coachman of today's carriage became very talkative.

Sun Chenghuan naturally knew how to make himself have a harmonious atmosphere during today's journey.

After he saw the muscular figure of the coachman.

This person is estimated to weigh three of himself, right?

There is no one who can grow this size that does not like to eat.

For example, in the Advent Academy, the one who has been pressing on himself, but was defeated by himself in one fell swoop more than ten days ago.

"Oh, I was supposed to be able to enter the Seventh Academy......" Sun Chenghuan replied with a smile.

"Originally, why didn't you go in? In the thirteen southern provinces of the country of Merce, the Seventh College is the best school! The coachman looked at Sun Chenghuan with a look of regret, obviously he had a very good impression of this "child" who shared his own food as soon as he came.

"Hmm...... The Fifth College is also in Nazaire?"

"The Fifth College is not in Nazaire. The coachman shook his head, "How can the school attended by the children of the rich be placed in such a military town as Nazaire, in the city of Onika, more than four hundred kilometers away." ā€

"Onika ......"

"You haven't been?"

"I've never heard of it. Sun Chenghuan smiled a little embarrassedly and scratched his head.

He had read a lot of books, all kinds of books, but he had never heard of Onika......

"Oh, it's normal if you haven't heard of it. That city is 400 kilometers to the west, and ordinary people will not have the opportunity to go there. ā€

"It's four hundred kilometers to the west, that's not ......"

"Well, in the Central Desert. ā€

ā€œ...... A city in the desert?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned, "Isn't there a place where you can't even survive? How can there still be a city? There will be a school......

"As long as you have money, what can't be?" the coachman smiled and thought to Sun Chenghuan.

Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

"Originally, the Fifth Academy was also in the city of Nazaire. But three hundred years ago, or two hundred and fifty years ago? Anyway, it was that time, the then director of the Fifth Academy somehow suddenly had a convulsion, and felt that it was a shame to be in a city like the Seventh Academy, which was full of commoners and minor nobles, and then made the decision to move the Fifth Academy out of Nazaire. "A school full of rich people, wherever they want to move, people welcome it, and then they decide to build a city in the desert themselves." ā€

ā€œ...... Onica was built by the Fifth Academy?" Sun Chenghuan had a black line in his head.

He felt like he had learned again.

"yes! I don't know how many gold coins I spent...... It is estimated that it is at least tens of millions. ā€

"Tens of millions of ......" Sun Chenghuan was a little speechless.

"Yes, they dug an aqueduct from the nearest Thebes, three hundred kilometers long, and hired countless men and wagons to take marble from the Monte Mountains over there and build all the buildings in the city. They even hired a special magician to perform a magic fountain show in that man-made lake in the middle of the city every night, providing free entertainment to all who come to Onika City......"

ā€œ...... Although I've been ...... all my life I may not see so many gold coins in a few lifetimes, but I think that such a big project, tens of millions of gold coins should not be able to do......" Sun Chenghuan lowered his head, silently calculated in his heart, and shook his head.

"It's all the cost price!" said the coachman disapprovingly, "You don't want to think about who is not a rich man who can control the marble mining in the Monte Mountains and provide an artificial canal that can dig three hundred kilometers? ā€

ā€œ...... If the cost price is tens of millions...... That should be almost done. ā€

"yes, so the Fifth Academy is the only one in the Merce Country that charges fees right now. The coachman nodded, "Ten thousand gold coins per person per year." ā€

ā€œ...... 10,000 ......" Sun Chenghuan now finally understands that he sold Li Yaer four magic gold coins that are enough to affect the entire Ace Continent, and he only charged him 10,000 gold coins, which is really a jumping off the building at a sale price......

Moreover, these 10,000 gold coins have not yet reached their hands.

According to what Lear told himself, after arriving in Nazaire tonight, he went to the Foster family's office in Nazaire, went to a councillor named Tenistan, and went to get the money that Lear had promised him.

This money is related to his life to Mills......

You know, it's still a long time before the second academy opens, and it would be funny if you starved to death before the school opened.
