Chapter Thirty-Six: The First Arrival in the Imperial Capital
桀――
An eagle's chirp came from high in the sky.
Subsequently, a golden eagle with a wingspan of nearly 3 meters hovered and landed on a traveling pure black carriage from a height of several hundred meters.
This is about twenty kilometers away from the imperial capital of the Radiant Empire, and Bai Bing and his party have come all the way from the Far Eastern Province, and ten days have passed.
Now driving on the Triumph Avenue, the white giant tower in the imperial capital city looms in the distance.
It is the Tower of Triumphal Victory, built by Charles the Great 300 years ago to welcome the destruction of the nine-story abyss by Imperial Field Marshal Lawrence.
It was also the greatest victory of humanity's counterattack on the Abyssal Plane.
This 500-meter-high white tower has also become a permanent memorial to Marshal Lawrence's immortal military exploits.
"Young Master Bai Bing, your demon pet is really a divine horse. In my opinion, although he is far from being an adult, he already has the combat power of a third-order demonic beast. If it is an adult, it must far surpass the ordinary 5th order golden eagle. ”
Sitting in the carriage, Slein poked his head out, looked at Xiao Jin on the roof of the car, and praised sincerely.
"Hehe, Mr. Slein, don't praise him anymore, I don't look at this guy's arrogant appearance, if it was a dog, his tail would have been raised to the sky. Bai Bing smiled, thinking that Xiao Jin had advanced to the sixth order Lei Peng, would I tell you?
Along the way, Bai Bing knew that it was difficult to conceal Xiao Jin's existence, so he simply released Xiao Jin and flew over all the way.
At first, Buck and Slein were also surprised by Jin's existence, and only accepted Jin's existence in surprise after Bai Bing told the story of Mr. Mu and his adoption of Jin in Eagle Mountain.
In addition, when he was on the road in the wild, Xiaojin contributed some game from time to time, which feasted several people. Full of praise for this high-level demon pet.
Of course, the existence of the Star Diamond and the fact that Xiao Jin can enter the Star Diamond, Bai Bing will never say.
"Haha, Young Master Bai Bing, in less than an hour we should enter the city. You can take a good look at this little ancestor, the imperial capital is not like the Far East, it is not our land, although we are not afraid of causing contradictions, but after all, more things are better than less. Uncle Buck reminded Bai Bing as he waved his horsewhip.
"Don't worry, Uncle Buck, this stupid bird is still very obedient at the critical moment. Bai Bing agreed. Xiao Jin screamed, as if he was dissatisfied with Bai Bing calling him a stupid bird.
It's about to be the imperial capital...... Imperial College is one of them...... At the same time, it is also the place where my father lived......
Sitting in the carriage, watching the scenery outside the window keep regressing, Bai Bing had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
But when the imperial capital of Babylon City really stood in front of Bai Bing's eyes, he really felt the majesty and greatness of this city of miracles.
The city of Babylon, which people are more accustomed to calling the imperial capital, actually existed long before the establishment of the Radiant Empire.
In the eternal years, when the High Elves were still the masters of this continent, Babylon, as the center of human society, already had the prototype of its current form.
When Caesar, the founding emperor of the Radiant Empire, made Babylon the capital and rebuilt it thousands of years ago, the city has never been conquered again.
If it is said that the ten-meter-high gate of Constantine was used to allow the thunder beasts to pass through. Well, the twenty-meter-high gate of the imperial capital was built to allow dragons to pass through.
In fact, there really was a giant dragon passing under the gates of the imperial capital. 500 years ago, Charles the Great, who killed the last dragon on the continent, Alextassa, and transported her body back to the imperial capital, passed through here.
Legend has it that this dragon was made into a taxidermy and hidden in an unknown place in the depths of the palace.
The guards of the city gates were the Imperial Guards. 5,000 Imperial Forest Army, each of them is a strong soldier, and it is the last line of defense of the empire.
Bai Bing's clearance document was signed directly by the Governor of the Far East, plus the Imperial Academy's examination notice, either of these two things, the right of passage in the Empire is extremely high.
Therefore, the non-commissioned officer guarding the city only briefly checked it, and then quickly let it go, allowing Bai Bing's carriage to pass.
For Xiaojin, people don't care at all. There are too many monsters and pets that come in and out of the city gate every day, and Xiao Jin is not so dazzling in the imperial capital.
This also made Bai Bing breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that if you investigate deeply, you will find that Bai Bing and Xiao Jin did not sign a soul contract.
In other words, the two of them are not familiar with the master-servant relationship, and Bai Bing does not have absolute control over Xiao Jin, but is more like the friendship between a druid and an ordinary beast.
If the Imperial Forest Army knew this, they might not be able to let Xiao Jin enter the city. Of course, as long as they come in, the nobles in the city will never care about this kind of nosy.
The carriage ran on the blue stone road of the imperial capital, and the horse's hooves and the ground made a rhythmic crisp sound, which made people feel happy.
"Young Master Bai Bing, let's go to the place arranged by Madame to settle down first, and then make plans. Buck, who was driving, asked Bai Bing behind him for instructions.
Letting a top silver powerhouse like Buck be a chauffeur is definitely very rare even in this Babylon City.
"Okay. Buck, Slein, there's one more thing I want to tell you. Bai Bing agreed to Buck first, then cleared his throat and said, "In the imperial capital, don't call me young master, just call me Bai Bing." This is because it is comfortable for me to listen to, and secondly, it is more convenient to deal with some things when I am in front of people. ”
"Young Master Bai Bing......"
"Buck, do you still need you to teach Young Master Bai Bing to do things? Since Young Master tells us so, we just do it. Buck was about to retort when he was suddenly interrupted by Srein.
"That's right, just do what Bai Bing said, haha, I'm really not used to it. Buck stroked the back of his head and laughed.
Bai Bing and Shi Leyin looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Bai Bing had a hunch in his heart that it would definitely be a good move for his mother to send Shi Leyin to be in charge of the imperial capital.
It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at Katerina's pre-arranged house.
This is a luxury villa in the aristocratic area of the imperial capital, which is quaint and very historical. Bai Bing liked it at first sight.
"It is said that many imperial generals have lived here, the most recent is the current general of the Panlong Legion, Baruch, but the Panlong Legion was sent to garrison the province of Turin five years ago, and the villa was sold. Seeing that Bai Bing liked this villa very much, Shi Leyin immediately introduced it on the side.
"Oh, then, my mother thought about doing business in the imperial capital five years ago. Bai Bing instantly grasped the crux of the matter.
"The same can be said, but five years ago the time was not ripe, and the plan was not fully implemented. It wasn't until Bai Bing passed the preliminary examination of the Imperial Academy that the president restarted the plan. Slein explained.
"Alright, let's settle down first. After Bai Bing finished speaking, he took the lead in getting out of the carriage.
The three of them stopped the carriage in front of the villa, and immediately a servant greeted them, taking the luggage and so on.
Bai Bing's room is on the second floor, and the layout is very similar to his room in the Far East, but it has a little more imperial capital characteristics, which shows that he is very careful.
After resting for a while, Bai Bing went downstairs to open up a small martial arts training ground in the backyard of the villa, and then practiced basic swordsmanship.
Even if he was on the road, Bai Bing's cultivation of basic swordsmanship had not stopped, and of course he would not give up when he got here.
On this day, Bai Bing didn't go out, and after practicing the basic sword, he entered a perfect cultivation state. While cultivating, you can eliminate the hard work of running around for days.
Early the next morning, Buck and Slein were going to meet with the Rose Chamber of Commerce in the Imperial Capital. And Bai Bing is going to the admissions department of Imperial College.
The admissions department is not located in the main headquarters of Imperial College, but in the urban area of the imperial capital.
After inquiring about the route, Bai Bing did not choose to take a carriage, but rode a horse by himself, and also happened to visit the city along the way.
Before figuring out the situation in the imperial capital, Bai Bing still put Xiao Jin in the star diamond, so as not to have any accidents.
Along the way, Bai Bing rode a tall horse to appreciate the architectural culture of the imperial capital, and it didn't take long to arrive at the destination.
From the outside, the door of the admissions department of Imperial College did not look special except for the four words that turned decay into magic.
However, just as Bai Bing was about to ride in, he was stopped by a porter.
"No one is allowed to ride in here, what are you here for?" This porter was about forty or fifty years old, with slightly gray hair, deep eyes, and a vicissitudes of life.
"Okay. I am a freshman taking the exam this year. So may I ask, where is my horse to be placed?" Bai Bing looked at this gatehouse, and found that he couldn't see through his depth, and couldn't help but sigh that the Imperial Academy was indeed the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even a gatekeeper uncle in the admissions department was so unfathomable.
"Tie yourself up over there, and then go in yourself. The uncle looked at Bai Bing, and after finishing speaking, he went back to his hut and lit his pipe, and his posture was indescribably deep and melancholy.
Bai Bing turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was a stable, which was full of tall thoroughbred horses.
Tethered his horse, Bai Bing walked quickly into the two-story building.
The environment inside the small building is also simple, in the office of the director of admissions, a somewhat balding fat man is sitting at the desk leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
"Dear Lord Rogge, this is my exam notice, please take a look. Bai Bing swept around the table and saw a small card with the word Rogge written on it, so he asked, "I don't know the specific time, place, and content, how it was arranged?"
Rogge glanced up at Bai Bing, took the notice and read it, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Secretary Fengyue, bring me a freshman nameplate." ”
After a while, Bai Bing heard the sound of high heels stepping on the floor in the hallway. The image of a female secretary with long legs in black silk immediately appeared in Bai Bing's mind.
