597. Imperial Capital Admissions
At 9 o'clock in the imperial capital time on September 9, Rand arrived at Gyeonggi Tower with 20 of his subordinates as promised.
Originally, Rand wanted to have breakfast in the Hall of the Thousand Towers, after all, in the Night Qi City, it was just before 8 o'clock in the morning, but when he entered the Hall of the Thousand Towers, hundreds of magisters were already waiting with 6 or 700 children.
Looking at the children full of pits, Rand was a little big, originally he thought that the Imperial Capital School would be sent with 400 children at most, after all, the tuition fee of 20 gold coins a month was also very expensive, but he underestimated the Magister family's enthusiasm for high-quality resources.
Rand divided his men into groups, but they soon discovered that they didn't have much to do.
The instructors present brought their own servants to help maintain order and registration, and even before he arrived, the instructors had already lined up in advance according to the first-come, first-served basis, made the forms, and waited for his subordinates to take out the equipment, and the children could test in order.
Tsavron Helen, who had led Rand to the place on Tuesday, walked over with a smile: "How is it, do you feel the enthusiasm of the high-ranking people in the imperial capital?" ”
"Yes, you guys are really enthusiastic enough," Rand also nodded, but after observing for a while, he found that at least sixty percent of the children tested could reach the level of 8 balls, which means that as long as these children go to Night Qi City, they will almost definitely stimulate their blood.
"Our children here have good potential!" Looking at such a high magical potential, Rand was also a little confused.
"Hehe," said Saffron with a smile, "Surely Teferi and Ben will be charged 1 gold for each child tested, not including the cost of the Magic Shard for the test. ”
Since each family can only bring a maximum of 5 children, and Rand promised to accept only 400 children, there are more than 130 Magister families who have signed up alone.
The families wanted to test the children's potential in advance, and the result was that the Pure Tower earned at least 3,000 gold coins with two potential testing instruments.
"Lord Rand, I think you still want to think about it, if these 700 children have good potential, how should you accept the students" As Saffren spoke, many magisters looked here, with some kind of hope in their eyes, hoping that Rand would take all the children here with him.
"Our current education level is really only able to accommodate 800 people, not only the teachers, but also the hardware in the school is not enough." Now it is Rand's turn to be embarrassed, "I think it is nothing more than two ways, otherwise the older ones will be followed first, such as 13-14 years old, and 12-year-olds can come next year; The second is to focus on the high potential first, and see if there are any opportunities in the future if the potential is low. ”
"Count Lante, just tell us what you lack over there!" The Grand Magister of Kreland, who was very enthusiastic about Rand last time, quickly said after listening to Rand's words.
"Yes, tell us what you lack over there, and the Imperial Capital School also has a lot of teaching aids and teaching materials that have been replaced."
Some of the magisters shouted one after another, and for a moment Rand seemed to be surrounded by a chaotic vegetable market.
"Magisters," Rand gestured to be quiet, "all the children come to my territory to go to school, I should have prepared teaching, accommodation, books, teaching aids, after confirming the cooperation with the Tower of Purity, all the plans we have made are in accordance with the introduction of 800 children, if it is changed, it will directly affect the current school order." ”
Rand's words sounded very reasonable, but the more important reason was to avoid too many noble children in the imperial capital in the school, after all, he was also afraid that the power of the imperial capital would reach out too much in the future.
While Rand was still explaining, the imposing young man from last time stood up again and shouted to the scene: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's follow the plan established by Count Rand, as for the order, you can line up from high potential to low potential, from old to young, I think everyone has tested the potential of their children, and the children with 6-7 potential are ranked according to their age." ”
The young man's words were very helpful, and after saying that, most of the magisters brought one or two children to the back of the line to line up.
"Lord Rand, thank you for coming to Gyeonggi Tower!" The young man saluted Rand very politely, "I am Adams Apopby, a student of His Excellency Cromwell Gyeonggi, and His Excellency Cromwell is already waiting for you in his parlor!" ”
Rand followed Adams up the magic ladder, and after a few minutes of ascent, he finally reached the 50th floor of Gyeonggi Tower.
Unlike Sherman's "mine-hole" zone, Cromwell's meditation room made Rand feel extremely spacious.
In the middle of the room is a model of the Imperial Capital City with a radius of nearly 20 meters, which is deeply embedded in the floor, with a single crystal floor on it, and walking on it is like walking in the sky of the Imperial Capital.
The roof of the room is a set of magic structures similar to astrolabes, so that the starry sky on the roof corresponding to the ground model is always exactly the same as the starry sky in the imperial capital sky in reality.
Rand was attracted by the model of the city, looking close to the glass floor, only to see that in the model, there are three towers in the ancient city of the imperial capital, the central city and the new city, the scale seems to be larger than the other places, and there seems to be a faint magic light in the three towers.
"Those three towers are the Gyeonggi Tower, the Discovery Tower, and the Pure Tower," just as Rand was fascinated by it, a loud voice sounded behind him, "You have been to the Gyeonggi Tower and the Pure Tower, and the Discovery Tower is the residence of His Majesty Douglas, the Emperor of Magic." ”
Rand looked behind him, a tall man in his mid-40s, elegant manners, smiling and admiring.
Adams Apopby hurriedly introduced: "Earl Lante, this is His Excellency Cromwell Gyeonggi, the guardian of the imperial capital for thousands of years!" ”
"Hats off, Lord Cromwell!" In the aristocratic curriculum of the Blue Dragon School, there is the content of the names of righteous gods and demigods in various places, and Mitroia Shendu, the prime minister of the empire, and Cromwell Gyeonggi, the guardian of the imperial capital, are the two most important demigods in the imperial capital. Cromwell's time as a demigod dates back even to before the ancient empire.
"I remember that two months ago, His Excellency Mitroa told me that Queen Tenea's promotion can be said to be the most remarkable event in the past thousand years, even when she defeated the Fallen Demons, it was rare to see so many demigods and legends." Cromwell was a very talkative demigod, starting from the promotion of Tenia to the grand scene of the Thousand Towers of the Imperial Capital, as if thousands of years of history had melted into a long scroll in his mouth, which was slowly opened in front of Rand.
Before the ancient empire, the imperial capital was the largest city-state of the human race, and although Dragon's Tooth City had always wanted to compete with the imperial capital, it was stopped because the legendary dragons on the Red Dragon Rock were obsessed with gold coins and literature.
Until the middle of the ancient empire, the magic emperor Douglas established the Imperial Capital School of Magic, and became a god after building the Tower of Exploration, and the city also developed around the magic school to form the current central city, the Great Council, the Treasury Hall, and the ancient imperial palace are all located in the hub between the ancient city and the central city.
