Cyrenaica, as its name suggests, is a beautiful city known throughout Corvo, and it has more graceful beauty than the grandeur of Maryland or the grandeur of Hurres.

Cyrenaica is located in the southern part of Corvo in the middle of a foothill, the city is surrounded by strange peaks and dense forests, there are not many roads into Cyrenaica, but most of them have to pass through a wide mountain road built by opening mountains, the mountain road turns, Cyrenaica is like a winding path, quietly taking off the veil of the beautiful lady appears in people's eyes.

It may not seem like Cyrenaica has many floors like Hellis, but Cyrenaica is not small enough to be a second-order city, which in itself symbolizes the size of Cyrenaica's population and the amount of taxes it can pay to Corvo each year.

Cyrenaica has two well-known characteristics, one is that the number of Cyrenaica nobles is famous, don't look at Cyrenaica is just a second-order city, but the number of nobles living here is not less than the capital Helis, Cyrenaica's unique charm and the humid air in the south of Corvo have attracted a large number of nobles and wealthy merchants to settle here, in order to meet the taste of nobles and wealthy merchants, Cyrenaica has many places for nobles and wealthy merchants to have fun and enjoy, and the most famous of them is the Titan Gladiatorial Arena.

Corvo's aristocracy has a very noble identity, because Corvo was founded only a hundred years ago, and many descendants of the founding fathers still hold important positions, and their collateral often does not need to do anything to obtain a very high social status and inexhaustible money, so life for them is simply to have fun and enjoyment, for their luxurious life, there are definitely not many activities that can make them feel the excitement again, but the gladiatorial arena is definitely the favorite place of the major nobles.

Under the rapid development of Corvo's society, it has entered an era of relative democracy, but under the pressure of many parties and the limitations of the existing productive forces, Corvo still has not abolished the slavery of the old society, and the nobles of Corvo will still compare with the number of slaves, and countless Corvo's high-level officials have more or less expressed their hatred of slavery in public, and the exploitation of steam engines and new energy whale oil has greatly reduced the demand for labor, but they themselves know very well that if slavery is abolished, it not only means that they stand on the opposite side of countless nobles, but also stand on the opposite side of their own familySo to this day, the Titan Gladiatorial Arena on the weekend is still very popular and packed.

The second characteristic of Cyrenaica is its wonderful morning mist, Cyrenaica is surrounded by mountains, under the transpiration of the morning, the dew on countless vegetation turns into mist and fills the whole city, every morning in Cyrenaica is like a woman who has just come out of the bath, and the floating fog hides its wonderful body, exuding a thrilling beauty.

Luo Mu woke up under the light of the morning light that was slightly alienated by the fog, the room was still cramped and dark, there was a thin layer of mist on the small air windows in the square, Luo Mu sat up and shook his head slightly, the dream in his mind last night was not very clear, although it had been a while, but dreaming was still a novelty for Luo Mu, Luo Mu took out his toiletries from under the bed, opened the small wooden door and walked out.

Joey was still lying in bed, when Luo Mu came out of the bathroom, Joey had just gotten up, some sleepy eyes said hello to Luo Mu, Luo Mu did not go downstairs in advance, but waited for Joey to wash up, then followed Joey, and walked downstairs one after another, Joey's father Joey was already sitting at the table, holding a Cyrenaica morning newspaper reading, Joey was not very old, about fifty years old, but his hair was already a little gray, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, watched Joey and Luo Mu down, nodded slightly, it is strange to say, Luo Mu knew in Joey's usual description of him, Joey was not afraid of his mother Aida, but every time I face my seemingly kind father, I am a little nervous.

This may have something to do with Johill's profession, even if Johill usually sits at the dinner table at the moment, he still has a bit of an unsmiling momentum in it, Johill is a construction officer subordinate to Cyrenaica, the construction officer is a very special position of Corvo, mainly responsible for celebrations, competitions, and temple maintenance, and in Cyrenaica, the construction officer also has another duty, that is, to select slaves for the gladiatorial arena.

There are a lot of construction officers, and Corvo is not a big job, but in Cyrenaica, this job is not for everyone, because such people are extremely good at grasping the psychology of the audience and the aristocracy, and they always know what kind of game can present the most blood-pumping effect, and it is also the most common scene for them to send slaves to the gladiatorial arena to be torn to pieces in an instant.

Luo Mu and Joey sat on the table, Corvo's breakfast has always been relatively simple, there are only a few slices of cut bread and a few not very fresh vegetables on the table, as soon as Joey sat down, Aida brought out a full glass of milk from the kitchen and put it in front of Joey, but Joey didn't like to drink milk very much, and his whole chubby face was wrinkled, but Aida glared at him fiercely, pointed with his finger, and asked him to drink it now, and waited until Joey finished drinking, and then put another glass of milk with only one-third of the cup in front of Luo Mu, Luo Mu whispered thank you, but Aida ignored it, turned around and walked into the kitchen again。

Joe Hill was eating bread, while casually asking about Joey's recent school events, and occasionally asking Luo Mu a few words, Joe Hill is not as dissatisfied with Luo Mu as Aida, it may be that Joey is usually very busy with work and has no time to spend with the children, and now Luo Mu can accompany Joey more.

Joey quickly finished eating, Luo Mu also drank the last sip of milk in the cup in time, and the two were ready to go to school, Aida came to the door, helped Joey carry her schoolbag, and told her, "Be careful on the road, listen carefully in class!" Oops, it's finally out, it's really suffocating me to stay at home."

As soon as Joey finished speaking, he made a bitter face again, and said to Luo Mu, "Brother Mu, you see, I'm so fat, my mother still forces me to eat so much every day, how can I chase beautiful girls in the future" Luo Mu smiled slightly and said, "You won't gain weight by drinking milk" Luo Mu said very little, but in the face of Joey, he would always cooperate with the response to the last two sentences.

Joey said with some joy, "Really?" But then he was afraid to pat his stomach again, and said, "But I'm so fat now" Luo Mu looked at Joey, and didn't say anything more, the carriage was rented by Joey to take Joey to and from school, Luo Mu was very lucky, at least in Qinghe, he didn't ride in the carriage so often.

The carriage is not big, just enough for Joey and Luo Mu to sit, the coachman's skills have obviously gone through many years of experience, the carriage is very fast but very stable, but it is faster than Bank's, but it is much stronger than the bumpy technology, Luo Mu suddenly thought.

After Hurlis came out, Luo Mu didn't want to go over to find Bank, but Luo Mu didn't know where Quinn sent Bank, and Luo Mu's soul power was completely lost, now if he wants to find someone in such a chaotic situation as Corvo, it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky, if he can't find it, he won't look for it anymore, Luo Mu knows that Bank will definitely be able to live well, at least better than him, but the only thing Luo Mu is worried about is that Bank really doesn't have much time left.

Luo Mu looked at the streets on both sides of the carriage, and thought silently in his heart, the streets of Cyrenaica are also like this city, generally not very wide, and can only accommodate four carriages at most, and the houses in Cyrenaica are not very tall, so it seems that the sky of this mountain city is also wide, and children who have not reached the age of eighteen in Corvo must be forced to receive education, even orphans like Luo Mu who have just stabilized.

And Luo Mu is just eighteen years old this year, according to the convention should be in the third year of high school, and Joey happens to be in the first year of high school, the two naturally became alumni, Corvo's education has been implemented for nearly 50 years, in Corvo's education system, not only teaches reading, writing and arithmetic, but also teaches morality, history, geography, rhetoric, astronomy, law, etiquette, etc., and the school has gradually become a bridge between the nobles through their children, of course, there are also a large number of commoner children to receive education, but they know that even if they learn enough knowledge in school, they will not be like the children of the aristocracy after the age of eighteen, they can join the family industry, so even in the school, the class division is still very obvious, the children of the commoners are proud to have a noble friend, and the nobles are usually dismissive of the commoners.

Cicero Middle School where Luo Mu and Joy are located is a public middle school named after the great scholar Cicero, this public middle school has attracted many children from aristocratic families with excellent teachers and convenient geographical location, but more are still commoner children, because aristocrats usually choose private secondary schools with high tuition fees for their children, because high tuition fees often symbolize better education, but most importantly, high tuition fees also symbolize dignity.

Cicero Middle School is in the west of Cyrenaica, more than ten minutes away from Joey's house, after a while, the two arrived in front of the school gate, the carriage stopped in front of the school gate, Joey jumped off the carriage with his schoolbag, Luo Mu also followed behind him, as soon as he entered the school gate, there was a large circular fountain, the fountain was surrounded by lush vegetation, and the cool water mist brought by the fountain suddenly made the people who walked into the school gate refreshed.

Beyond the flower bed, at the end of the wide straight road in front, a tall building with a high center and a cascading eaves on both sides with Cyrenaica characteristics stands quietly, with a huge full-length statue of the scholar Cicero in the center of the building, and a long staircase in front of the building, which can be seen from this main school building, Cyrenaica must have put all his thought into this middle school, and in addition to the beauty, it also reveals a bit of solemnity.

At this moment, looking at it from a distance, many people on the stairs are walking towards the teaching building with their school bags on their backs, most of the students are wearing cool summer clothes, groups of threes and twos, a thriving scene, Luo Mu has been studying in this school for a whole week, but he still can't fully integrate into this atmosphere, which is extremely unqualified for a former Igniz assassin, but Luo Mu knows very well in his heart, because his mentality is already different, he knows very well that all this is what he really has, and not just to complete the task like in the past。

But Luo Mu knew very well in his heart that he was really greedy for this rare peace.

Joey and Luo Mu walked towards the teaching building, while greeting the classmates they knew around him, Joey is very good at talking, so he is very popular in the school, and he has not been idle along the way, just when Joey just met an acquaintance again, and was about to raise his hand to say hello, a piercing sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind the two, seeing that Joey was about to be touched by the galloping carriage behind him, Luo Mu actually lifted Joey up with one hand and dragged him behind him.

A richly decorated carriage galloped past the two of them, the carriage exuded gold throughout, and even dozens of rare purple gems were inlaid on the outer wall of the carriage, and in front of the carriage were two handsome white horses without a trace of variegation, the carriage did not care whether it would meet pedestrians, and ran straight to the bottom of the stairs in front of the teaching building before gradually stopping.

The carriage had just been firmly established, and the door of the carriage was kicked open with one foot, and a man with a cigarette in his mouth stepped down from the carriage, and he put the clothes in his hand on his shoulder, and without even taking his school bag, he staggered up the steps, and just behind the pompous young man, a young girl also stepped out of the carriage.
