Magnolia Continent, to the west of the Warcraft Mountains, is divided into the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance. The kingdom headed by the Holy Alliance is the Kingdom of Fenlai!
Finlay City, the capital of the 'Kingdom of Finlay'.
It is also the 'Holy Capital' of the Holy Alliance, because the headquarters of the Holy See of Light is located in the west city of Finlay City.
The entire city of Finlay is mainly divided into two parts: the east city and the west city. The East City is managed by the Kingdom of Finlay, while the West City is managed by the Holy See of Light. Just because Fenlai City is both a royal capital and a holy city, the prosperity of Fenlai City is second to none in the entire Yulan Continent.
Fenlai City occupies an extremely large area, and it accommodates more than one million residents. It is also one of the top five super cities in the entire Yulan Continent.
In the evening, Linley and Hillman entered Finlay City.
"Wow."
Walking on the main street 'Champagne Avenue' in the east of Fenlai City, Linley only felt that he had lost his eyes. The little shadow mouse 'Beibei' was asked by Linley to hide under his clothes, and Beibei also secretly showed his eyes and looked out. . "Squeak, squeak~~" Little Shadow Mouse was also extremely excited.
Fortunately, the entire Champs-Elysees Avenue was very bustling and noisy at the moment, and no one paid attention to the sound.
"Quiet." Linley immediately patted the little Shadowmouse, and the little Shadowmouse obediently stopped making a sound, but told Linley about its excitement through soul communication.
The entire Champs-Elysees Avenue is paved with flat bluestone slabs, which can accommodate several carriages in parallel. On both sides of the street are hotels, clothing stores, weapons stores, bars and other business establishments. At the same time, there is a row of neat and straight pine and cypress trees on both sides of the Champs-Elysees Avenue.
The ladies and young ladies were dressed in trendy clothes, chatting and laughing with each other and strolling down the street.
When some noble ladies around saw Linley's reaction, they all sneered at each other in a low voice, sometimes pointing at Linley twice. Obviously, Lin Lei's reaction was 'the countrymen enter the city', and the nobles of the capital had an innate sense of superiority over the countrymen.
"Hmph, uneducated." Linley frowned, dissatisfied with the advice and jokes of those ladies.
Having been educated by his family since childhood, Linley kept his excitement in his heart just for a while, and seemed much calmer on the surface.
"Linley, how about Finlay City? Finlay City is the largest city in our Holy Alliance." Hillman and Linley walked on the side of the street and sighed when they saw some soldiers, or occasionally a magician or two passing by. Said, "Linley, powerful warriors and magicians are very common in Finlay City."
Linley smiled and nodded: "It is recorded in the book that Finlay City is the political center, economic center, and art center of the Holy Alliance."
"This is a paradise for the rich and powerful." Hillman nodded and sighed.
On the bustling Champs-Elysees Avenue, some luxury carriages often passed by. Hillman took Linley for a walk on the 'Champs-Elysees Avenue', the main road in Finlay City, and then went straight to find an ordinary hotel to live in.
There was a small restaurant next to the hotel, where Linley and Hillman had dinner.
In the hotel that night.
Linley and Dereen Cowart lived in the same room. There were two beds in the room. As soon as they entered the room, the little shadow mouse 'Babe' jumped out of Linley's chest and clothes, and immediately circled Linley and kept screaming. .
"I know you're hungry, so eat it." Linley threw the roast duck he brought back from the restaurant on the ground, and Beibei immediately started biting him excitedly.
"Linley, get some rest early, and tomorrow morning I have to go to the magic test." Hillman urged.
"Got it, Uncle Hillman." As he said this, Linley went to the window and opened the curtains.
There were three floors in the hotel, and Linley and the others lived on the second floor. There are no three-storey high-rise buildings in Wushan Town at all, but it is very common in the royal capital 'Fenlai City', and there are seven- and eight-storey high-rise buildings in the royal capital.
Looking outside through the window, there are still people coming and going on the street outside.
"Huh, I haven't seen a big city for a long time." A misty streamer flew out of the Coiling Dragon Ring and turned into an old man with white hair and beard. Delinkovatt and Linley looked side by side at the street below.
"Grandpa Delin." Linley greeted immediately.
"Linley, how did you feel when you arrived in the big city?" Dering Cowart said with a smile.
"it's nothing." lei said with a pursed mouth.
Dering Cowart sighed: "How long have you been here? You don't know much about large cities. There are various luxury consumption venues here, such as large auctions. Some rich people can even spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins or even millions of dollars. Gold coins to buy an item."
"One million gold coins?" Linley felt his throat dry for a while.
What kind of huge sum of money is that? I'm afraid I can't even get one hundred thousand gold coins in my family.
"There are still a lot of rich people. The competition for money, power, and beauty is very fierce. People die here every day. Some corpses are often found in the slums in the slums of Finlay City. Those corpses may be some nobles."
Dering Cowart smiled indifferently: "However, to stand in this world, what you need is your own strength."
"Don't ask for the kindness of others. You can only rely on yourself." Dering Cowart looked at Linley.
Linley's bloodline of dragon blood warriors in his body actually made Linley's heart belligerent and bloodthirsty.
"If anyone threatens me or threatens my relatives, I will kill him." Lin Lei said firmly. Having read many books about the ups and downs of the family, Lin Lei is very clear that being kind to the enemy is cruel to himself.
You let the enemy go, and the enemy may kill your relatives.
"However, my current strength is still very weak." Linley couldn't help but recall the contempt some ladies had for him when he first entered Finlay City. In the eyes of those in the upper classes, he is nothing more than a poor boy in the countryside.
With an indifferent smile, Linley got into bed and sat down with his knees crossed, and began to meditate and exercise his mental strength.
Meditation exercises mental power, in fact, it uses various methods to consume mental power until it reaches a bottom line, and then restores it through sleep!
Dantian in the chest.
A misty khaki mist floats in the middle Dantian. This khaki mist is the magic power of the earth element after refining. According to Dering Cowart's narration, from the first-level magician to the sixth-level magician, the magic power is in the form of fog. As the level increases, the 'quality' of mana increases and the density increases.
When you reach the seventh level of magician, the magic power will condense into liquid.
So the sixth-level magician to the seventh-level magician is a hurdle!
"Lin Lei, this boy is so hardworking, he trains his mental strength at night." Hillman couldn't help but admire Lin Lei sitting cross-legged and closed his eyes, whether it was a magician or a soldier. Spiritual strength is very important to them!
…
In the morning of the second day, Luye Road in East City of Fenlai, Luye Road is also one of several main roads in Finlay City. Most of the buildings on both sides of Luye Road are luxurious mansions and some buildings belonging to the kingdom. One of the tallest buildings - the Church of the Holy See of Light.
The Holy Alliance has six kingdoms and fifteen principalities, and the Holy See of Light controls the entire alliance.
The Pope of Light has the highest status, and the Pope has the right to dismiss the king of a kingdom! So even in the east side of Finlay City, the tallest building is the Church of the Holy See of Light.
This morning, a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the church of the Holy See of Light. Most of the people here were nobles dressed in noble clothes. The horse-drawn carriages also filled the empty square in front of the church. The nobles greeted each other.
Linley and Hillman also came here at this time.
"Uncle Hillman, there are so many people here today. Many nobles have brought their children." Linley smiled and said to Hillman. At this time, the little shadow mouse 'Babe' was also huddled inside Linley's clothes. Exposed small eyes and looked outside.
Hillman nodded and smiled indifferently: "Noble? Any magician who has graduated from the highest magic academy 'Ernst Academy' can easily become an earl in a kingdom."
"Country of the kingdom?" Linley understood immediately.
It is not difficult to obtain the title of the kingdom, but it is difficult to obtain the title of the empire. After all, any of the four major empires can be comparable to the entire Holy Alliance, far from being comparable to the Kingdom of Finlay.
"Oh, Lord Doyle, are you here too?"
"Heber, I'm here, of course, for my son, Hess, to see Uncle Heber."
I saw a group of nobles chatting with each other not far away. The magic admissions test, the registration fee for the test alone requires ten gold coins. And once admitted, he was admitted to a magic academy. The tuition will be even higher. In general magic schools, the tuition fee for a year is hundreds of gold coins! Ordinary families can't afford it at all, but as long as their children are admitted, there will naturally be nobles to support them.
However, not all schools of magic are expensive.
For example, the First Magic Academy 'Ernst Academy', because there are very few students enrolled, as long as they belong to the children of the Holy Alliance, tuition is free! After all, those who can enter the Ernst Academy are all geniuses. The future achievements are limitless.
"Hmph, those commoners and countrymen are also here, are they really daydreaming?" Some nobles in the distance said with a sneer.
Among the hundreds of people gathered at the square, some were civilians, or some small country nobles like Linley. In general, the small nobles in the countryside are also looked down upon. Those nobles in the royal capital are mostly proud and look down on others.
"Linley, don't know them in general." Hillman said in a low voice.
Linley looked at the group of nobles, and said with a low smile, "Uncle Hillman, I don't have the same knowledge as those people." Under his father Hogg's years of education, Linley still didn't care about those nobles in the capital who thought they were superior.
The entire square was clearly divided into two circles, one was the circle of nobles who talked a lot, and the other was the commoners or the small country nobles.
At this moment, there are two warriors in battle armor at the entrance of the church, blocking outsiders from entering.
After a while, a priest in a black robe walked out slowly, stopped at the door of the church, smiled and said loudly: "The magic test, starting now, the recruiters of the major magic academies are also ready. For the magic test, please follow me into the lobby."
