On the east side of Mann's continent near the endless ocean, a long and narrow area is formed due to the obstruction of continuous mountains. Some say the area looks like a boot, others say it looks like a broken leg tibia, but more people see it as an irregular ribbon, and it is the East Coast.
The entire east coast is not small. Although it is only over a thousand kilometers at its widest point, its curved length is more than six thousand kilometers, making its area nearly 10 million square kilometers.
Among them, there are hundreds of ordinary small countries and some wizard countries.
Many wizard organizations with transcendent status are also distributed among them. There are more than ten famous ones, and White Stone Tower is one of them.
In fact, it is inaccurate to directly call the White Stone Tower. The most standard way is to call it the White Stone Tower Wizarding Association.
The reason for this is because the White Stone Tower and the White Stone Tower are not exactly the same. It has three different meanings. In most cases, these three meanings are the same, but in a few cases, for people who are not familiar with them, they need to be distinguished.
The first meaning - the name of a wizarding organization - among the more than a dozen well-known wizarding organizations on the east coast, the White Stone Tower is a relatively strong existence and has a strong foundation. It is for this reason that two other meanings were developed. Therefore, the White Stone Tower Wizards Association represents the real White Stone Tower.
The second meaning - a place for newcomers to the wizarding world to learn spells - this specifically refers to a part of the Whitestone Tower organization, the internal Whitestone Tower Academy.
It is semi-enclosed, allowing qualified people to enter and exit freely, but generally does not allow outsiders without qualifications to enter. Most of the people living there are students, and of course there are wizard teachers - some are full-time, and the other have full-time things to do in the White Rock Tower organization, and occasionally teach students when they are bored.
For example, Macbeth, when he is not doing missions to kill people, he will teach some energy-shaping water-type courses as a way to relax, unwind, and earn extra money.
The third meaning - a geographical gathering place - in the real world, the White Stone Tower is a city, with a wizard organization as the core and powerful wizards as the ruling class. It is expanded and has many wizard apprentices and ordinary people. A big city with tens of thousands of people living there.
In the city, there are all kinds of people and all kinds of pursuits, mixing desire and reason, chaos and order, filth and purity. From a practical point of view, it should be called Baishi City.
In the first two meanings, both the internal White Rock Tower Academy and all the White Rock Tower wizard organizations are located in it - located in this White Rock City.
Shiroishi Castle is located in the Shiroishi Mountains on the east coast. Because it is rich in hard white boulders that are used as building materials, most of the buildings in the entire city are made of such boulders, so there are Shiroishi Castle, Shiroishi Tower, etc. origin of name.
All in all, in a word, the white stone tower that combines three meanings is not located along the east coast, but deep in the coast.
Regarding this matter, everyone on the giant ship only learned about it after landing on the mainland. I was extremely excited, thinking that I would be able to learn spells soon, and I was so excited that I was immediately ruthlessly hit.
Facts have proved that this will not be the first, nor will it be the last blow. The cold reality waiting for everyone is approaching one after another - the White Stone Tower is obviously not an amusement park, but a cruel competition ground. , except for a small number of people with talent and ability who can get what they want, most people will be eliminated. Compared with elimination on the giant wheel, this elimination may not lead to death, but it is not much better.
The world has never been gentle, and it is as cruel as ever in every corner...
…
In the blink of an eye, everyone on the giant ship landed on the mainland a few days later.
After landing on the mainland, everyone followed the arrangements and got on the carriage to travel towards the White Rock Mountains. After experiencing a bumpy journey, they saw the outline of White Rock City.
Through the carriage window, looking from a distance, one can see that behind a long and wide stone bridge, there is a huge city built on the mountain. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, numerous buildings are arranged in a ring, divided into several floors in an orderly manner.
Among them, on the top of the highest mountain, there are six interconnected white towers tens of meters high, which are spectacular and majestic.
"Look!"
"Amazing!"
"So high!"
Everyone in the moving carriage pointed at the tower, marveled, and was extremely excited - waiting for the blow.
"Da da da", a dozen four-wheeled carriages were pulled by horses and moved forward quickly as everyone marveled. Not long after, the carriage passed through the wide long stone bridge and entered Baishi City. Everyone sat in the carriage and could watch the city up close.
Looking at the white stone or wooden buildings, the smooth and clean streets, the shops selling strange goods along the street, and the crowds, statues and fountains in the square, everyone's eyes were extremely bright, and they were talking with their companions next to them.
In one of the carriages, Richard squinted out of the window, looking more carefully and comprehensively than everyone else noticed. While studying building materials, we are also studying its architectural methods and styles.
It can be seen that in many buildings in the city, a core element frequently used is the round arch - there are round arches at the door, round arches on the windows, round arches on the arcades - round arches are everywhere.
In addition, on many tall buildings, stone domes have replaced wooden flat roofs, which makes the buildings look more complete and stable, and is easy to prevent fire, which has many benefits.
However, because the stone roof is relatively heavy, it creates huge pressure in both the downward and outward directions. In order to overcome this, buildings with stone roofs have built huge beams and columns and thick supports. wall.
Therefore, walking in this white stone city, people can clearly feel a sense of weight, and then a kind of depth and mystery. It seems that there is a powerful and extraordinary force lingering in the dark, which is very suitable for the atmosphere of the White Stone Tower, the seat of the wizard.
"A slightly modified Roman style?" Richard whispered with his eyes flashing.
Gro, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the sound, but didn't hear it clearly. He asked doubtfully: "Ah? Mr. Richard, what are you talking about?"
"Um, it's nothing." Richard responded vaguely, not bothering to explain too much.
"Oh, really." Gro didn't insist on asking. He was deeply attracted by the scene outside the carriage. In his opinion, compared with the various scenes he saw in Baishi City now, Cuijin City, where he had stayed for more than ten years before, was simply a small rural town in the backwaters. No, it should be a smelly sewer and a quagmire. He came to the White Stone Tower for the right time. Only when he came here could he have a better future.
"It's really beautiful." Groo murmured while looking out the window, clenching his fists vigorously, "I must stay here for a long time."
"Why are you so crazy!" Nancy said venomously to Grotto. Although she said this, she did not stop looking out the window.
Richard did not continue to indulge in the "beauty" of this typical medieval-style city. He looked at it for a while, and then looked away after collecting the information he wanted. He lowered his head and glanced at Pandora, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He couldn't help but shook his head, shook her gently, and called out to her: "Wake up, we are about to get to the place and get off the carriage."
"Huh?" Pandora opened her eyes, revealing a pair of somewhat worried purple eyes, her face full of displeasure. Because he was disturbed from sleeping, he looked like he wanted to get angry. He looked at it and quickly rubbed his hair to comfort him.
After rubbing her hair for a long time, she managed to calm down Pandora. At this time, the carriage had traveled through most of White Rock City and entered the core area, where White Rock Tower Academy is located.
After passing through the huge white boulder arch, the carriage stopped in a small square. Dempsey's voice sounded outside the carriage, saying: "Get off!"
"Crash", everyone quickly ran out of the carriage and gathered on the ground.
A witch in her thirties appeared in a black gauze robe. She was extremely plump and her breasts were so high that they seemed to be bursting out from under the robe. It was extremely eye-catching.
But the strange thing is that when Dempsey faced the witch, he looked at a distance. Macbeth, who was walking with him, glanced at the other person, didn't even say a word, turned around and walked towards the depths of the college - said he was walking. , in terms of speed, it’s more like escaping.
Everyone was confused.
The wizard looked at everyone with a smile on his face and said: "Hello, freshmen, my name is Modesty, and I am your instructor. First of all, I would like to say welcome to Baishi High School. tower!"
Well, welcome to Whitestone Tower!
