Chapter 11: The City of Diana
The walls of Diana City are thirty meters high, and they are all made of magical green stones, which is particularly majestic. The luxurious magic platforms at the top of the city wall are even more majestic and majestic. The city gate was crowded with a sea of pedestrians, all waiting for the entry and exit inspection. Wang Wu was already excited when he saw these Western European buildings that he had never seen in Diana City, and he couldn't wait to join the queue and wait for the formalities to enter the city.
"Please show me your identification. The guard said to Wang Wu in a very official tone.
"I didn't. Wang Wu said directly.
"Where are you from, and what are you coming to Diana City for?" the guard asked solemnly, frowning.
"I'm from Haji Village and I'm coming to Diana College to take the entrance exam. Wang Wu said honestly.
"Do you want to take the exam? Go to the fast track over there to get an identity card, handle the hardware, and then pay the protection tax on the hardware. The guard solemnly advised, "If you become a student of the Hunting Academy, you don't have to pay the protection tax." If you don't pay your taxes on time, our city has the right to take you into exile, and even reduce you to slavery. Got it?"
"Got it, thank you. Wang Wuqiang said with a smile. This is a bandit's den, I didn't even enter the door before I lost ten gold coins, fortunately Lisa has to stuff me with ten more gold coins, otherwise I will sleep on the streets tonight and eat the northwest wind.
After tossing for a while, Wang Wu finished his identity card and successfully entered Diana City. As soon as Wang Wu entered Diana City, he was greeted by a street full of Western European style, and the busy streets were particularly prosperous. The stalls on both sides were selling all kinds of things, many of which Wang Wu had seen for the first time. Wang Wu was even more shocked by the pedestrians coming and going, and from time to time he would see many people of different races walking on the street, but relatively speaking, there were still more pure human races.
Wang Wu felt new to everything like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and there were a few times when he stared at other races for too long, and he was almost beaten, but fortunately, the security on the streets here was better, and the other party did not dare to blatantly mess around, knowing that Wang Wu was an outsider and had never seen the world, he forgave him. After making a few low-level jokes, Wang Wu finally learned to be a lot more obedient, and probably understood some of Xijin's customs and customs. Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Wu decided to visit the entrance examination room first, and then find a place to stay.
"This little brother, I see that you have been wandering around for a long time, can't you find the way?" a thin man with sinister eyebrows and eyes said enthusiastically to Wang Wu.
Why does this person look so much like a mouse? Wang Wu looked at the person carefully, only to realize that this person did not look like a mouse at all, he was originally a half-rat human race. Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic about talking, Wang Wu didn't want to lose face with others, and said casually: "Yes, this big brother, how can I get to Diana Hunting Academy?"
"Little brother, it's your first time coming to Diana City, otherwise why wouldn't you even know about Diana Academy? Look at the tallest magic clock tower over there. The nezumi pointed in a direction in the center of the city and continued, "That's the clock tower on the campus of Diana's Hunting Academy, and the academy is over there. I think you're going to take tomorrow's entrance exam, right? I happen to be going over there too, so I'll take you with me. ”
"Then there's the big brother Lao. Wang Wu said gratefully.
"Talking so much, looking at your thin little body and Donglong, I guess you are a liberal arts student. The nezumi said.
"Huh. Wang Wu smiled, and instead of answering the question, he asked all kinds of questions about Diana City, in case there would be some jokes in the future because of the customs. Wang Wu and the nezumi clan chatted while walking, and after a while, they arrived at the main gate of Diana's Hunting Academy. The door was closed all the time, but the students just turned a blind eye to the entrance and exit, leaving only a ripple of water on the gate and slowly disappearing.
As the sun sets, the main gate at this time is still crowded, and there are many candidates who come to step on the spot. Looking at such a huge crowd, Wang Wu and the nezumi clan could only wait and see the main entrance of Diana Academy from a distance. Suddenly, there was a violent commotion in the crowd, and the whole scene became noisy, with a few screams from time to time. I saw that the huge crowd gave way to an avenue leading to the main entrance, and a few young people were walking unhurriedly in the avenue.
"Who are these people?" asked Wang Wu curiously.
"Hehe, why are you envious?" said with a smile: "But I really know these people, and they are not simple goods." The bald young man in the lead is the vice captain of the eighteenth team, Martins, a real veteran of the top 100 players on campus, can he not be a big showman? The tall brown-haired boy next to him is not simple, he is the number one seed candidate in this year's special enrollment, and his strength is also leveraged, his name seems to be Kelvin, and if he is admitted to the academy, he should join the eighteenth team. The last two are reserve members of the eighteenth team, and their reputation is average, so I don't know. ”
"You're really well-informed. Wang Wu sighed: "What are the top 100 players on campus?"
"You're asking the right person, I'm the famous bag in Diana City. The Nezumi said proudly: "In addition to the team competition, Diana Hunting Academy is more famous for the individual competition. Diana Hunting Academy should now have more than 3,000 people in the martial arts department, and the top 500 in actual combat ability can get the title. There are only 500 titles, and there are two ways to get the title, the first title challenge at the beginning of the school year, challenge the title holder, the title holder's failure ranking will slide down, and the winner will replace the title. Within 10 places of title difference, you can make an appointment at any time. In the second gambling battle, the gambling war ignores the ranking gap, and asks the benchmark based on the conditions formulated by both sides, but to prevent improper gambling behavior, there must be more than three martial arts teachers to watch the battle and ruling. ”
"I don't see how much you know. Wang Wu sighed, and the two chatted for a while, and the rat people left under the pretext of an excuse.
Wang Wu saw that it was getting late, and now that the venue was also seen, let's find a place to live first. So Wang Wu found an ordinary hotel and planned to stay overnight. Before Wang Wu could enter, he was attracted by the sign outside the door.
'If you are not a pure human race, you will not be accepted. ’
There was still racial discrimination in Diana City, why didn't you find out this morning? It seems that it is still very serious, and it is blatantly put up a warning. However, it was none of his business, Wang Wu didn't pay much attention to it, and entered the hotel and went to the front desk to check in.
The old man on duty at the front desk glanced at Wang Wu with his spare eyes, and asked coldly, "Donglong people?"
"yes. Wang Wu said: "Uncle, I want to stay for one night, how many ......?"
"It's full. The old man replied coldly, and then ignored Wang Wu.
Wang Wu is so depressed, today's service attitude, not bankrupt at all? There is no reason! But Wang Wu has no choice, others say that there is no room, and he can't stay here, right? Turned around and walked out of the hotel, but at this time, there was a warm welcome voice from behind the old man, checking in for the two white-skinned Xijin people. Wang Wu was stunned, and then a nameless fire emerged from his heart, and he just wanted to turn around and go in to settle accounts with this old man, but he was pulled by a person.
"Little brother, forget it. When the time comes, the guards will be provoked, and you will be the one who suffers. Today, the rat man appeared again, pulled Wang Wu to the north of the city, and said as he walked: "Find a place to live?
"Well, thank you. Wang Wu asked helplessly, "But what's going on?"
"What do you think of the matter?" the nezumi asked coldly. The rat man pulled Wang Wu down into a dilapidated slum, and the surroundings were deserted, and there were not a few people to be seen along the way. At this time, the nezumi let go of Wang Wu's hand, looked back at Wang Wu, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Then you still need to ask what's going on? I don't know about racial discrimination? Or do you think those Xijin people will treat you Donglong people as a fellow race? In their eyes, you are just a different race." In this remote place, aliens are not protected, brothers. ”
Wang Wu looked at the few rat men that suddenly appeared around him, and said flatly: "Then what do you mean now? Don't you want to take me to find a place to live? I don't remember that I offended you." ”
"You haven't offended me, but it's not easy to live in a foreign race here, and it's hard for us to survive without robbing you liberal arts candidates. The rat man said treacherously: "The guards in the city will not come to this place for you, a Donglong person, to arrest people, and if you know each other, you will hand over all the money on your body, then you can still take your liberal arts exam normally tomorrow." Otherwise, hehe, you won't even be able to lift a pen in your hand. ”
"Who told you that mine was going to take the liberal arts exam?" Wang Wuwei said with a smile.
"Look at your thin body, you're still a Donglong person. Xijin, who doesn't know that the Donglong people don't have the talent to cultivate magic and fighting qi. Do you still want to take the martial arts exam? You scare me?" the nezumi sneered, "I'm so scared, I was almost scared away by you." You nerds really don't have a big brain. ”
"I'm really going to take the martial arts exam. Who else said that the hands of the Donglong people can only carry a pen?" Wang Wu smiled calmly: "My hands are proficient in all eighteen martial arts. ”
"Give it to me. After the rat-man said hello, a rhythmic scream came from the gloomy slum. In just ten or so breaths, the scene became quiet again, and from time to time there would be some collision sounds of falling to the ground.
"For the sake of you telling me a lot of things today, I will spare you. Wang Wu smiled mildly and said, "Mr. Ratman, can you continue to take me to find a place to live?" I have already bypassed you once, if I lie to me, I will not forgive you so easily this time." ”
The smile that seemed gentle was particularly permeable in the eyes of the rat man, and his body couldn't help but shudder. The nezumi hurriedly reassured, "Don't worry, don't worry." Guaranteed to have a place for you to stay tonight. ”
