Originally, the Imperial Academy was funded by the third emperor of the empire, and its research interests involved in military, people's livelihood, astronomy, and philosophy.

The newly opened academy is only open to the aristocracy.,But the academy admissions process is extremely strict.,Even if you spend a lot of money, you can't enter the school park for training.。

With the death of the hard-working Emperor III, the academy gradually became a gilded place for the children of the nobility before they entered politics.

In order to prevent the research and student source of the academy from being controlled by the aristocracy, the royal family ordered that the enrollment permission was opened, and as long as they passed the test, even commoners who were not nobles could take the opportunity to enter the academy to study.

The academy also lived up to the royal family's investment and cultivation, creating weapons of war such as stirrups and horseshoes, as well as improving waterwheels and planting tools.

And in the last ten years, alchemy has also developed greatly, and alchemists have created many bizarre objects, some of which have even been used in military or agricultural applications.

The academy's development barely supported the decaying empire.

Listening to Carlos's introduction to the Imperial Academy, Russell understood the value of its existence, but in the environment of a feudal dynasty, the meaning of the existence of the academy can only make the dynasty survive.

But in this age of scarce knowledge, there are still so many people who work tirelessly to conduct research, and no matter what results they produce, Russell also has some admiration for their efforts.

Carlos finished explaining the history of the academy, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy. The two got out of the carriage side by side and walked straight to the gate.

The guard at the gate was not Russell's imaginary old man, but the well-uniformed city guards.

When he was middle-aged, he saw Carlos walking over, and familiarly took off his hat and saluted: "Your Excellency, what are you doing here?"

Carlos nodded to him and said, "This friend of mine has come from out of town and wants to visit my alma mater, please be accommodating." ”

"Of course, my pleasure. The soldier opened the door, turned and made a vacancy, allowing Russell and them to enter the academy.

Russell entered the academy and found that except for the main road to the door at the beginning, it was basically a very complicated arrangement, and he estimated that he would get lost in it if he walked a few parts without the guidance of a guide, but Carlos walked around the courtyard leisurely, very familiar, and walked straight forward without hesitation.

Carlos saw Russell's question, and explained with a smile: "Russell, I used to be a student of the academy, and because of the death of my father, I had to suspend my studies and return home to take care of the family affairs, so I quit the academy. ”

Carlos pointed in a direction to the east and said, "That's where we're going today, it's where the students live, and I'm going to go to my roommate at the time Mike for news." ”

With that, the two walked together to the accommodation area.

There seemed to be a lot of research classes this afternoon, and the two of them didn't see a few teachers or students along the way, until they walked to the place where Carlos had stayed, and Carlos was surprised to find that the room where he had stayed had been boarded up.

Looking around, Carlos spotted a student who was hurriedly going out, and immediately grabbed him and asked, "Excuse me, where is Mike who used to live here?"

The student looked at Carlos as if he had heard something strange.

Carlos was surprised, "Did something happen to him?"

The student talked about it, "Senior Mike is a kind and good person, but after he cleaned the laboratory building a few days ago, he had nightmares every day, talking about tentacles and strange shadows, and the day before yesterday, a senior called him to eat, and it turned out that he hanged himself in the room." ”

After speaking, the students did not want to say too much as if they had mentioned something taboo, shook their hands to say goodbye to them, and hurried away.

Carlos and Russell looked at each other, and the experiences of Mike and Baez were so similar, so it can be seen that these two things are not a coincidence at all!
