Chapter 8: On the Stage
Towards noon, Yukikaze returns to Blackstone and returns to his grocery store.
"It's done, hurry up and pack your things, and you can leave in a while!" said Daddy when he saw Xuefeng coming back.
"No, you're in such a hurry to drive me away!" Xue Feng said helplessly to his father. Although Xuefeng yearns for the outside world very much, this is his home after all, and it is inevitable that there will be some reluctance.
"Less nonsense, Lao Tzu has been taking care of you for more than ten years, so hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu. ”
"Also, it won't be long before the entrance exams for White Fire Academy will begin. If you miss it, I won't beat you to death. ”
"What White Fire Academy, is it that good?" Xue Feng disdained.
Before he finished speaking, Daddy Goode slapped Xue Feng on the head.
"It is one of the best in the Reece Empire, and it can also be ranked in the top twenty in the entire Rand Continent, do you say it's good. Father Goode said angrily.
"But the top twenty, what is there to be proud of. Xuefeng was still unconvinced, but he only dared to mumble under his father's pressure.
"Although the White Fire Academy is not ranked high in the entire Rand Continent, its strength should not be underestimated, and every short time, it will cultivate some outstanding powerhouses, such as your father and I are one of them. "Daddy Goode boasted to himself.
"Don't be unconvinced, you kid, the entrance exam of White Fire Academy is still very strict, and it's not certain whether you kid can pass it. ”
Xuefeng pursed his lips, but did not refute it soundly, otherwise he would only attract another slap from his father.
"Okay, hurry up and pack your things, the imperial capital is far away from here, if you miss the entrance exam, you kid will have to wait for the next year. Daddy waved his hand and asked Xuefeng to clean up his things.
Xuefeng didn't have many things, just a few clothes and weapons to carry with him. And, of course, some of its own belongings. All it takes is one baggage to fill it all.
After packing up the few things, Yukikaze's already empty room became even more empty. Glancing at the dilapidated house where he had lived for more than ten years, Xue Feng turned around and walked downstairs.
The goodbye to Luna is complete, and it's time to say goodbye to Daddy.
Xue Feng carried the burden on his back, walked to the father who was lying on the dilapidated recliner, and said softly: "Dad, I'm leaving." ”
"Let's go, don't get in the way here. Daddy waved.
Yukikaze turned and walked out.
"By the way, don't ask for your name outside, or you'll get in trouble. ”
"Also, people outside are sinister, so you have to be more careful. ”
"Got it. Xue Feng didn't look back, he didn't want his father to see his red eyes. Daddy Goode also quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.
At the entrance of the street in Blackstone Town, Xue Feng squatted there with a piece of dry food in his hand, and he hadn't eaten lunch yet.
The imperial capital is far more than a thousand miles away from here, and coupled with the entrance exam of the White Fire Academy in the near future, Xue Feng naturally can't march towards the imperial capital on foot.
Since the invasion of dark creatures three hundred years ago, the land continent has been divided into two camps, the Dawn Camp and the Dark Camp. Aside from the Dark Camp, the Dawn Camp is made up of several empires, and the Reece Empire is one of them.
The Rees Empire is divided into five provinces, namely: Weifeng Province in the south, Chongshi Province in the north, Broken Sky Province in the east, Fire Resistance Province in the west, and Qiming Province in the center. The imperial capital of the Rees Empire, Rees City, is located in Qiming Province.
Blackstone is located in the westernmost part of the Western Fire Ward, on the edge of the border with the Dark Faction.
Sandwiched between here and Reese City is a province of fire, thousands of miles away, and if you are on foot, you can only get there in a short time unless the snow wind is dying......
Half a month later, the west gate of the imperial capital of the Rees Empire.
A convoy of heavy trucks is being inspected by city gate guards. After all, this is the center of the empire, so the inspection is not particularly strict. After the leader of the convoy paid a special toll, the convoy passed quickly.
Yukikaze clung to his baggage, jumped out of a truck, said goodbye to the people in the convoy, and left alone.
After all, Xue Feng is still young and inexperienced, so he has to join someone else's team. After joining a convoy in Blackstone Town, after a few more tosses, Yukikaze joined the heavy truck team just now.
Although it cost a lot of gold and it was very bumpy, it was fortunate that I didn't have to travel by myself in the snowy wind.
Looking at the tall and majestic city wall in front of him, Xue Feng was inevitably shocked in his heart. Although Xue Feng had seen some city walls on the way, they were nothing compared to the one in front of him, not to mention the dilapidated wooden fence in Blackstone Town.
Fifty or sixty meters high, more than ten meters wide, and a two-meter-thick gate made of stainless steel, Xue Feng was sure that if he captured all the people in Blackstone Town, there was no chance to capture this city gate.
The hustle and bustle of Blackstone is nothing compared to the bustle of the town.
The streets were crowded with small vendors, and there were constant cars whizzing away in the middle of the streets, something that Yukikaze, who had grown up in Blackstone Town, had never seen before.
Compared to everything here, dressed in ordinary snow wind, like a countryman.
However, Xue Feng, who has been living in a border town, is a countryman compared to the prosperity of this majestic city.
Xue Feng, who has never been out of Blackstone Town, originally knew very little about the outside world, but during the journey of half a month, Xue Feng still learned some things from the people in the convoy, after all, they have been traveling from south to north and south, and they know a lot of things.
Among the five major provinces of the Rees Empire, Weifeng Province, Chongshi Province, Broken Sky Province and Imperial Fire Province are controlled by the four major families, and only Qiming Province, where the imperial capital is located, is controlled by the imperial family.
The White Fire Academy is one of the top colleges in the Reese Empire, with quasi-militarized teaching, strict admission requirements, extremely strict teaching, and less than half of the students can graduate.
Three days later, the entrance exams for White Fire Academy were held, and registration began a week ago.
After constant inquiry, Yukikaze arrived at the gate of the White Fire School an hour later.
Reece City is very large and crowded, but fortunately, the White Fire Academy is relatively close to the west gate of Reece City, otherwise Xuefeng will have to walk more.
The White Fire Academy has a long history, established after the invasion of dark creatures, and the academy exists to teach good students to fight dark creatures. Because its teaching is extremely strict, the students who can graduate are all excellent talents, and they will be snatched up by the army of the Reece Empire.
Looking at the quaint and old stone arches of the White Fire Academy, Xue Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is the heritage brought by history.
After feeling emotional, Yukifeng walked towards the registration site under the stone arch. Because the registration started a week ago, there are only a few people who have signed up now.
It didn't take long for it to be Yukikaze's turn.
The registration point was very simple, just a man in his forties and fifties and a dilapidated wooden table.
"The registration fee is one gold coin. The man said lazily.
Xue Feng hurriedly took out a gold coin and handed it over.
The man took the gold coin and said, "Name." ”
"Snow wind. Yukikaze replied.
The man took out a wooden plaque from the drawer of the wooden table, carved the word "Xuefeng" crookedly with a dagger, and threw it to Xuefeng.
"Three days later, I took the entrance exam. ”
Xuefeng took the wooden sign and asked, "Is this the end?"
The man said lazily, "What do you think?" The person behind Xuefeng immediately moved forward.
Unexpectedly, the entrance exam of White Fire Academy turned out to be like this, Xue Feng was helpless and turned to leave. There are still three days left for the entrance exam, and in addition, the bumps of this half month have made him sore, and he needs to find a place to stay and rest.
At this point, the boy from Blackstone Town has finally stepped onto the stage of the world of the strong and is about to shine his own light.
