51 School City

The famous school city of the Seven Kingdoms is located on the banks of the Mejiu River and is a complex of buildings covering a large area.

It does not have the majesty of the Tower of Heaven, nor the sacred grandeur of the Starry Sanctuary, but it is the place with the strongest cultural atmosphere in the old town, and even in the entire continent of Westeros.

The gate of the school city is facing the direction of Whispering Bay, and a tall green Sphinx statue is placed on each side of the gate, with a lion body, eagle wings, and snake tail, but with the faces of a man and a woman. They all closed their eyes, as if they were contemplating some thousand-year-old puzzle.

Samwell walked into the city under the leadership of Baylor Hightower, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted by a lively little bazaar with many vendors selling books and maps. There were also a lot of people gathered nearby, waiting in line for the assistant bachelor to help them write the paperwork.

Continuing on, Samwell also saw a small island, on which was planted a huge fishbeam tree, the dense branches and foliage occupied almost the entire island, and countless crows perched on the trees, which looked like an oil painting with a strong religious atmosphere.

Crossing a weather-beaten wooden bridge, a tower covered in moss and vines appeared in front of the two.

Baylor stopped here and said:

"Sir Caesar, my sister Moloya is up there, and the fourth floor is out of the room on the left hand side of the stairs, and I have some things to do, so I won't go up with you."

"Okay."

After seeing Baylor leave, Samwell walked up the stairs alone.

Coming to the door of the room that Baylor was talking about, he raised his hand and tapped it a few times.

After waiting for a while, I heard a deep female voice from inside: "Come in." ”

Samwell pushed the door in.

The smell in the room was a little strange, like the smell of raw meat that had been left out for a long time and mixed with disinfectant water.

The light was dim, and the only window was obscured by a curtain, and Samwell had to get used to it a little before he could see the furnishings inside.

Then he was taken aback.

This is the reaction of anyone who enters a room full of taxidermy specimens for the first time.

Lizards, giant snakes, brown bears, cheetahs...... There are also all kinds of strange animals that Samwell can't name, all of which have been made into lifelike specimens and displayed on shelves.

Samwell finally understood why Baylor had to find an excuse to slip away and let himself come up alone, and the guy obviously didn't want to go into the room.

"Ahem, Dear Miss Moroya, I'm ......"

"I know who you are." Moroya interrupted, "As soon as I woke up this morning, a servant told me that you would come to me. ”

She spoke quickly, as if she was in a hurry, and while she spoke, the movements of her hands did not stop, and she was skillfully peeling off the belly of a slap spider with a sharp knife.

The dark green juice stained her hands, looking weird and oozing.

Samwell settled down and squeezed out a smile:

"In that case, I wonder if Miss Moroya will be able to ...... the silver mine."

"Right there." Moroya interrupted again, raised her thin chin and pointed to the small table in the front row, "The one with the white cover is, everything you want is inside, see for yourself, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." ”

Samwell stepped forward to pick up the book, flipped through it casually, and after confirming that it was correct, he said:

"Thank you, Miss Moroya, then I will take my leave. If I have any doubts, I will ......"

"Okay." Moroya interrupted again, as if she couldn't wait to chase him away.

Can't you let me finish the whole thing once?

Samwell scolded himself and turned around and walked away.

This place can't stay long, and reason will fall.

Going out and feeling the warmth of the sun again, Samwell quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crazy Woman" Moroya really lives up to her name.

As he walked out, Samwell flipped through the book Moroya had given him.

The book is indeed about silver mining and refining, but there are many difficult technical terms and esoteric symbols.

Samwell didn't do this in his previous life, and the chemistry knowledge in high school had long been returned to the teacher, and now it is extremely difficult to read.

Just as he was feeling a headache, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him.

When I raised my head, I saw that a lot of people had gathered in front of the gate of the school city, and they seemed to be watching something.

Intrigued, Samwell walked over.

“…… Take away your bachelor's title, and from now on, you will no longer be a member of the school......"

Hearing this, Samwell realized that it was the school city that was expelling the bachelor.

He squeezed forward a little, and finally saw the unlucky bastard who had been banished.

It was a tall, thin old man, a little hunchbacked, with wrinkles around his bulging blue eyes and a faint smile on his lips all the time, even though he was facing expulsion.

"Cobain, what else do you have to say?"

Hearing the name, Samwell was slightly startled.

Of course, he remembered that there was a character in the series who had this name, and that person was also a bachelor who was expelled from the school city and later became a confidant of Queen Cersei.

When Cobain heard the manager's question, he raised his head slightly, but his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't seem to know what to say.

Another man wearing a doctor's ring was a little unbearable and comforted:

"Cobain, you don't have to keep your oath anymore, and you are no longer a servant of Westeros, and you can resume your old surname."

"Last name?" Cobain finally spoke, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little sarcastic, "I've been in the school city for more than forty years, and no one still remembers my last name." Even I forgot about myself. ”

"But you still have a lot of knowledge, which is enough to make you live a life without food and clothing, but remember not to do those immoral experiments again, or the laws of the kingdom will not spare you."

With that, the steward and the doctor turned and returned to the school, leaving Cobain stunned.

The crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and they all left one after another.

Only Samwell walked up to Cobain and said:

"Bachelor's ......"

"I'm not a bachelor anymore."

"In my mind, a bachelor's degree is not an identity, but an honorific title for a person of great learning."

Cobain's face moved slightly, and he glanced at Samwell seriously, and said:

"Young Sir, thank you for your kindness. Don't know what I can do for you? ”

Samwell's smile became brighter and brighter: "I have found a silver mine in my territory, and I need a bachelor to help guide mining and refining, I wonder if you are willing to help me with this?" ”

"Don't the bachelors in your realm know metallurgy?"

"My castle hasn't been built yet, so the school city hasn't sent a bachelor there."

Cobain frowned: "I take the liberty of asking, where is your territory?" ”

Samwell smiled slightly and said, "Let me introduce myself, I am the pioneer knight canonized by the Duke of Mace, Samwell Caesar, who has established a territory on Eagle's Beak Island in the Crimson Mountains, with more than 10,000 people under his rule. ”

"Crimson Mountains?" Cobain's brow furrowed even deeper, and his face only eased slightly when he heard that there were more than 10,000 people, but he was still hesitating.

Samwell remembered that in the original book, the scientific madman was expelled from the school city because he had conducted live experiments, so he said:

"Bachelor Coben, I can fully fund your research if you are willing to be my advisor, and of course, it must be research that does not violate the laws of the Kingdom."

"Fully funded?" Coben was a little moved, and thought of the silver mine that the other party had just mentioned, and finally nodded, "Okay!" Dear Sir Caesar, I am willing to be your personal advisor. ”
