Chapter 90 Loan Application
The battle is over and their city tour program continues.
Alwin and Krell, who were not injured, were walking on the tree-lined street in the center of Newernport.
The tall and slender columns of the Peak Tower in the city, and the Gothic architecture dominated by black tones have a strong exotic flavor. Squares, churches, theaters, parks, etc. are all telling the city’s beauty. Prosperity and abundance.
There are trees on both sides of the avenue, and it is very neat and tidy.
The continent has suffered several large-scale epidemics in history. The city’s citizens have long recognized the close relationship between hygiene and health, driven by the Imperial Family Medical Association.
At least in public areas such as wealthy areas, administrative areas, church areas, and Commerce Districts, the sanitation is still very secure.
In Alwin’s eyes, Newern Harbor, as the largest port city on the west coast of the kingdom, and Gabred, where the Third Fleet is stationed, can be said to be the best at each other.
Gabred is the closest port city to the new continent in the kingdom, and it is also one of the most important bridgeheads in the age of voyages that began two hundred years ago. Commerce and development are the eternal themes here.
The Newern Harbor has stronger political functions. Here is the Imperial Family Naval Academy station, where the First Fleet directly controlled by the Imperial Family is stationed. The headquarters of Letis.
“Adventurers Association? Hunter Union?”
Under the introduction of Krell, Alwin developed a strong interest in these two civil organizations.
In addition to the logistics and intelligence support of the official system, these two unions undertake the functions of introducing crew members, buying and selling intelligence, resource exchange, and task release, etc., and are also the survival of many wild transcenders. Strong backing.
Although there are some overlaps in the functions of the two, they often hold the same position to keep warm. It is a huge monster that even the kingdom officials cannot ignore.
Therefore, the prosperity of Newern Harbor brought by the crowds also inevitably brings about dragons and snakes mingle. Even with the strong suppression by the First Fleet and the Navy Academy, public security has always been a big headache for the consuls. .
“What, are you interested in the Adventurer’s Guild?”
Seeing Alwin stop in front of a magnificent white marble building, Krell, who was acting as a tour guide, couldn’t help asking.
“Although there is a threshold for registering as an adventurer, it requires a certain number of years of sailing experience, and at least two recommendation letters from members. But for an official Knight, this is not a problem.
Moreover, the quest hall of the Adventurer’s Guild will release some quests from time to time for members to pick up, from finding people to hunt down pirates to exploring the strange Sea Territory, hunting specific magical creatures, etc. The pay is not bad, um, If you’re short of money.”
Krell is worthy of being a local tyrant in Newernport, and is well aware of its secrets.
“Let’s talk about it later, after the short training and returning to the fleet, there may not be a lot of time to participate in expeditions.” Alwin only had an occasional feeling when he stopped to watch.
After all, more than a hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Garriott family started from an ordinary adventurer, and built the family from scratch.
Most of the Baron Garriott and male family members of the past generations are senior members of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“That’s right, Krell. I heard that the Imperial Family Navy Academy has a very rich library. Do you know how to qualify for borrowing?” Alwin asked Krell inadvertently. asked.
“Anyone who is a student can enter the public library. You should be talking about the legendary ‘shadow library’ that houses countless mysterious knowledge?
There is indeed such a library Any student in the school and the guarantor of the Royal Navy can apply for borrowing books, and if they pass the review, they can obtain life-long reading qualifications.
Even after graduation, you can always come back here to borrow books. “
Alwin just asked casually, didn’t expect Krell to know this place, and he obviously had a deep understanding of it, so he continued to say:
” It’s just that no one knows their criteria for judging applicants. There are children who have just entered the school in their teens and are approved as soon as they apply, and senior professors at the Academy who have been rejected for several decades.
Anyway. Don’t get your hopes up too much!”
Krel’s face was a little strange, and there was obviously a story in the middle.
“Really? I want to give it a try, it’s just writing an application anyway, and it’s okay to fail.” One of Alwin’s main goals when he entered the Imperial Family Navy Academy was to enter the library , to make up for their weak mysticism knowledge, naturally impossible to give up casually.
“Well, the shadow library management office is on the Seventh Layer of the Clock Tower, you need to drop in the application in person, and someone will take care of it there.
Actually this is at the Academy It’s not a secret. If the outstanding students in the Academy are recognized by the professor, they will be informed of the existence of the shadow library.
It’s just that although it is located inside the Academy, it has a completely parallel relationship with the school. , although my grandfather used to be a professor at the Academy, he didn’t know much about the library, and it’s arguably one of the most mysterious places in the Academy.”
Krell also He didn’t pour cold water on Alwin again, and told him all the information he knew, but he was obviously not optimistic about him.
The following tour continued, but we only got a general understanding of the city from a quick glance. After having lunch together, the two quickly returned to the Academy.
The short training will start soon, and it is time to do some necessary preparations.
“Ta Ta Ta”
In the darkness, Alwin took a well-prepared application and climbed step by step on the stone platform of the clock tower.
The clock tower has a ring of stone steps along the granite walls. Each floor has only a small window the size of a head. Even if the oil lamp is lit, it is filled with a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.
One can’t help but lighten up and slow down to breathe, so as not to disturb a terrifying existence that is sleeping in the dark.
On the second day of visiting the city, Alwin, who has received information from Krell, has no patience to wait any longer, and is ready to submit a loan application as soon as possible before the school starts.
He can’t wait to embrace the wizard world of mysterious
Up and down the stairs.
Go to the end of the stairs on the seventh floor, in front of the very old oak-clad copper door.
The heavy wooden door is engraved with a relief of a violet pattern. The vivid violet flower has an eye radiating rays of light, which is less like a meaningless decoration, but more like a A symbol with a mysterious meaning.
After staring at the pattern for a while, Alwin didn’t find the corresponding thing in his memory, so he didn’t think much about it, and knocked on the door softly.
dong, dong, dong
“Come in, the door is unlocked!” A hoarse sound resounded from behind the door, as if rubbing iron pieces, almost beyond what a human vocal cord can produce The timbre limit is very uncomfortable to listen to.
With Alwin’s self-confessed nerve endurance, he still felt as if thousands of ants were rustling through his ears, and he couldn’t help shivering.
Before seeing anyone, he already had some bad associations with the existence behind the door. Just glanced at the application form in his hand, Alwin braced oneself, pushed the door and walked in.
