The avenues into the city are all paved with beige stone slabs, each of which is a standard five-foot length and width, neatly paved all the way.
"Okay! Fanos City, the art city of the Rodman Empire, let's find a place to rest first, Xia Zuo already stinks so much that I can't stand it, and then we go to the Fanos Imperial Art Academy, where Professor Suklaby teaches!" Old Griffin poked his head out of the carriage and avoided Xia Zuo with a look of disgust, muttering softly.
Mu Chamu's smile echoed Xia Zuo was extremely depressed, but fortunately, the carriage finally drove, and the crisp sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the stone road was very pleasant.
After sweeping away the expenses of the Salnian nobles for several years, the last thing Xia Zuo had now was gold, and it was easy to choose a luxurious enough inn.
Xia Zuo, who finally got his wish and washed away his blood, sweat and mud, appeared in the hall with a new look, wearing a luxurious and restrained black dress with gold silk slip edges, which made Xia Zuo even more noble, the practice armor was still worn on his body, and the thin practice armor like a layer of soft armor did not prevent him from wearing clothes, and the practice armor itself also had a lot of defense.
Enjoying a hearty lunch, he alone ate two roast lamb shanks and one roast suckling pig. and an unknown amount of bacon, preserved fruits, Xia Zuo's flesh and fighting spirit have skyrocketed in the past two months, and the demand for food is even stronger than before.
Old Griffin's face was pale, and he looked at Xia Zuo in embarrassment, who swept all the food on the table like a storm, and he regretted sitting with Xia Zuo to eat more and more, and he could even hear the maids pursing their lips and snickering and the undisguised ridicule of the guests around him.
"Wait a minute, we'll go and meet Teacher Sukrabi, Xia Zuo, you must not be rude in front of the teacher!" Old Griffin finally couldn't help but open his mouth to divert Xia Zuo's attention after coughing a few times and still not responding.
"What kind of person is Mr. Sukrabi?" Natsuzo sucked the whole grilled sausage into his mouth, chewing and muttering, "I'm really curious about what kind of teacher he is." can teach students like you. ”
Old Griffin glared at Xia Zuo fiercely. I don't know if I'm blaming the splattering spittle, or if it's a student like you, "Anyway, you just have to be polite, Mr. Suklabi is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met, he is a true scholar." If it weren't for the events of the year. He has even become the dean of the Elia Royal Academy. Even in Elijah now, at least sixty percent of the high-ranking officials and generals are from his disciples, and he is the only one who has forced Morgan to change the burn at the stake to deportation!"
Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned. Put down the golden cup full of red wine in your hand.
Sixty percent of the high-ranking officials and generals of the Elia Empire let the Pope be forced to exile How terrifying is the energy of such a person, Xia Zuo swallowed his saliva unconsciously after thinking about it, and the curiosity in his heart suddenly rose.
As an academy run by the Empire, the Fanos Imperial Art Academy is located on Shenghui Street, the most prosperous street in Fanos City, and countless young people and girls in the empire who pursue art and harmony have entered this dream school with pride.
The spotless streets are planted with all kinds of precious flowers and trees, the wide roads are large enough for eight luxurious carriages to run side by side, the sidewalks on both sides are full of elegant statues, and there is a careful fountain in the United States more than ten meters away, spraying the rain of watering flowers and trees.
On both sides of the lushness are lavish palace-like residences, and the people who can live here and receive artistic influences are the most noble high-class people in the city of Fanos.
After dinner, the four people drove the carriage to Shenghui Street, as for why they drove the carriage?
If it weren't for the luxurious carriage of the Savani family and the double-headed eagle badge on the carriage, even if Xia Zuo gave more money, the guards at the entrance of the street would never let them in, not to mention going to school or living here, even entering the street itself was a proof of identity.
Mu Chamu drove the carriage to Fanos Academy, the wide streets were like flowing waterwheels, the gorgeous and luxurious four-wheeled carriage was pulled by four pure-blooded war horses slowly and neatly, and the coachmen who drove the carriage were all dressed in exquisite dresses, carrying long whips to drive the vehicles.
Slaves and guards were neatly lined up in two, and followed the carriage in a neat manner, these servants and guards were all dressed in extravagant and fancy clothes, and their clothes and mouths were all trimmed with gold wire, and they were lavishly inlaid with pearls, agate and other extravagant gemstones.
As soon as Xia Zuo's luxurious carriage entered here, it actually looked a little shabby, if it weren't for the double-headed eagle pattern of the Savani family clearly carved on the carriage, I was afraid that it would be despised for a while.
Two huge feet with three people hugging, I don't know how many years of living camphor trees, one left and one right like two guarding giants stand on both sides of the gate of Fanos Academy, the pale golden wall is covered with neat bright red maple creepers, from the wall of water droplets like rain and dew sprinkled, so that the leaves stained with pearl-like droplets, add a gorgeous and elegant atmosphere.
Guarding the gate are two square minarets, the four sides of the minaret are protruding, respectively inlaid with the four goddesses of the hand-held harp, flower basket, bow and arrow and kettle made of pure gold, and four majestic knights holding various weapons, the white cobblestone paving in the school gate stretches to the depths of the campus, and the two sides of the road are planted with various flowers and plants that Xia Zuo does not know, and the whole campus is like a huge botanical garden.
"It's really rich!" As the elder Griffin negotiated with the guards, Xia Zuo looked straight at the golden statues around the spire of the school gate, and clicked his lips.
From the reflected luster, it can be easily distinguished, those things are definitely not gold lacquer but ** naked pure gold, even if it is just a gilded skin, these statues more than ten meters high are also a lot of wealth.
It took old Griffin half an hour of saliva, plus dozens of gold coins to get out, before the guards at the gate relented and agreed to let them in to visit their friends, but they had to walk and come out in two hours.
"Damn, damn it, damn mud legs, this is the land of art, how can they find such an unreasonable person to guard the gate! This is the mistake of their dean, I will let Mr. Sograbi sue them!" Old Griffin scolded unevenly all the way, the promise he made before coming and the attitude of the guard at the gate just now, even the old Griffin's bent face of the city wall couldn't help but blush slightly in the smiles of the three of them.
The long cobblestone road leads to the depths of the plant jungle, and in the pink woods on both sides, there are faintly noble sons and ladies walking hand in hand, in such a place full of literary and artistic beauty, people will always have some romantic feelings, young young masters and young ladies, or singing poetry, or rehearsing opera, of course, they will not help but do some shy things when they are in love.
Pink petals fall from the trees, and white cobblestone paths stretch through the pink jungle. The four of them walked to the south of the academy, a luxurious building hidden in the jungle, this residence belonging to the teachers of the academy, even in Shenghui Street, where giants and nobles are gathered, it can be regarded as a luxury building among the best.
The most precious resources of the Academy of Arts are those who live here, the distinguished masters and professors who gather here from all over the mainland, and the neat guards outside the building complex stand in front of the lofts of the Academy of Arts, standing proudly in front of the lofts of the detached houses or elegant or gorgeous and luxurious, guarding the most precious area of the Academy of Arts.
Professor Sograbi's attic, an old-fashioned three-story oak bungalow, is simple but has a quaint and restrained atmosphere.
"I'm here to meet Professor Arella! I'm his student from years ago!" Old Griffin had to go up and negotiate again, but the guards here were much more polite than the guards at the gate, after all, the people who could hang around here were all of noble backgrounds, and it was not up to them to pick any one of them.
Arella is the pseudonym of Professor Sograbi after he was expelled from the Elian Empire, and as a guilty person, it is always inconvenient to use his own name alone in a foreign land.
"I'm sorry sir!!" the officer on guard politely replied, "Please wait!"
"Guest?" Old Griffin was slightly stunned, Professor Soccrabi is a pure scholar, he was born for academics, in other words, scholarship is everything in his life, if old Griffin didn't have something mysterious in his hand that could arouse Soclatteri's interest, such as an ancient ring, even if he was a former student, Socrabi, who focused on academics every minute, might not meet him.
"Yes, a guest!" the head of the guards smiled and returned the salute, "It's the three distinguished guests from the imperial capital, they came before dawn today, they asked to see Professor Arella, and they haven't left yet!"
"You mean Professor Arella is meeting guests inside, but there's no breath of anyone in there at all!" Xia Zuo asked suspiciously, his physical body has been tempered several times, and he has long been deaf and clear, and after Mu Chamu's training, he can feel every move within ten meters of his eyes when he closes his eyes, which is why he dragged Lore back during the duel.
Xia Zuo didn't know who the guests of the imperial capital were, but Sograbi was just a pure scholar, and he had devoted his whole life to academics, just an ordinary old man who hadn't touched any cultivation, and there was no reason why Xia Zuo couldn't feel Sograbi's breath at such a close distance.
