Chapter 16: The Tower of Babel
Now, in front of Salter, what is unfolded is a completely black, Towering cylindrical towers, of course, the towering towers here are not adjectives, but the tower is really high to the point of looking through, logically speaking, such a building is impossible to exist, because the higher the building, the greater the area of the foundation, but this tower is a fundamental subversion of the traditional concept of architecture, because it is not only extremely high, its tower body is also very thin, from a distance, it looks like a long pillar straight into the sky, I believe that no one will not be shocked when they see it for the first timeγ Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"What the hell is this building?" Salter exclaimed.
"Is this the first time you've come to Henex City?"
Neither Salter nor Chen Shiyu noticed, a young man who looked about the same age as Salter suddenly stood beside the two, his figure was a little thin, and although his pale blonde hair was a little unkempt, it didn't look dirty at all, like a ball of yarn tied to his head, very casually. The young man's dress is very simple, and he is simply out of place compared to the pedestrians in brocade clothes and silk on the street, but he is such a guy who does not seem to be taller than Salter, but he has a handsome facial features, even if he is still young, he can still see his potential to harm ignorant girls in the future, especially his deep eyes, as if to see through people's hearts.
As soon as Salter turned around, he just met the young man's eyes, and after a short moment of surprise, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, what a pity for this face.
"Yes, we are from the countryside, and we came to Henex City this time mainly to learn magic, do you know where Heix's Academy of Magic is?"
Since the other party took the initiative to talk, and his temperament seemed to be relatively easy to get close to, then Salter might not have such a good opportunity if he didn't ask him for directions.
The boy smiled and said, "Of course I know, it's my school!"
"That's great, and in that case, can you tell us how to get there?" Salter became more friendly when he heard that he was from the same school as himself.
"No problem, not only the school, but the entire Henex City, I can show you around, for the sake of our school, I will only charge you 10 greenhead coins. The boy was still friendly, and even when he mentioned collecting money, his tone felt like a matter of course.
Salter realized what his father had said, that in the big city, money is needed everywhere.
On the continent of Caramilan, the currency is universal, here, there are three colors of coins of red, yellow and blue, among them, the most valuable is the red coin, followed by the yellow coin and the green coin, the multiple ratio between each coin is one hundred, and the green coin in the mouth of the boy refers to the green coin, because each coin is engraved with the head of the guardian of Caramilan, so people are used to this name.
"Five greenheads!"
Since he knew that there was no way to not spend this money, Salter simply cut the price directly.
"Five greenheads, not as much as my mother's pocket money a day, forget it, when you make a friend, how about eight greenheads?"
Salter shook his head and pretended to be pitiful, "We are poor in the countryside, and we really don't have much money on us, and six greenhead coins is already my limit, no matter what, it seems that our fate is only like this." β
After that, Chen Shiyu on Soltra was ready to go to other places.
"It's really a defeat to you, six green-headed coins are six green-headed coins, hey, do you think it's easy for me to earn some money for my family?"
Salter smiled slightly, and Chen Shiyu whispered in his ear: "I didn't expect you to have this hand?"
In fact, six green-headed coins is not too much of an expense for Salter, after all, there are a total of ten yellow-headed coins and thirty green-headed coins in the money bag given to him by his father, but it is difficult to earn back these coins after using them, so Salter naturally has to save some money.
After taking the money, the boy stretched out his white right hand, "My name is Naka, and I am a second-year student at the Henex Academy of Magic, a native of Amishil. β
Salter shook Naka's hand and said, "My name is Salter, and I am also from Amishir, this is my cousin Chen Shiyu, a native of Norkasha, and we are all freshmen who have come to sign up. β
Naka looked at Chen Shiyu thoughtfully, and then said: "It is said that the Norkaxia people are beautiful, and when I saw them today, they really deserved their reputation, sister, you are a mixed-race child, right?"
"Hmm. Chen Shiyu nodded.
"Hey, it's obvious that they are all related by blood, why is the gap between this brother and sister so big?" Naka said bluntly, as if he didn't think about Salter's existence at all.
"Can you not speak so directly?" Salter is indeed powerless to refute Naka's words now, after all, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Shiyu is beautiful, and he is a little ordinary in comparison, the two walk together, and they are inevitably discussed, but when Nakar says it directly, Salter is the first time he has encountered it.
Chen Shiyu sneered, "You can't complain about the society if you're ugly." β
"You ......" Salter didn't expect that Chen Shiyu not only didn't say a few good words for himself, but instead made fun of himself with Naka.
"Cut, don't talk about this, Naka, let me ask you, what is this tower that is so tall that you can't see the top?" Thinking that he couldn't compete with these two good-looking guys, Salter simply changed the topic.
Naka also took the opportunity to give Salter a step down, "This tower is called the Tower of Babel, it is a place where strong people from all over the continent gather, don't look at its tower body is very thin, but the area of each floor is amazingly large, because each layer of the Tower of Babel is set up with space distortion magic." β
"Do you mean that people of all professions will accept it?" asked Salter suspiciously.
But Naka nodded: "Yes, the Tower of Babel accepts any kind of person, as long as you have the strength, you can get an invitation to go there, and use your strength to win money and status in the Tower of Babel, but the reserves of magic crystals have become less and less popular over the years, and the profession of magician has become less popular." Therefore, the people who go there are still mainly knights and martial artists who don't need magic crystal reserves. β
"Even so, you don't need to build the tower that high?"
Naka shook his head, "What I mentioned just now is only one of the reasons, as for the other reason......"
