Chapter 175 The Capital

This time, Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei had finally had their fill of the airship ride. Starting from the border village, they landed every two to three days for supplies. The airship flew for a full twenty-one days before reaching Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty...

Lin Shu found it very interesting. He remembered that he had seen it in the work of that military strategist. It was said that the area controlled by a country was related to the time it took to project troops. It was said that all areas that could project troops within twenty days were

It is a firmly controlled area. I don’t know if this data is consistent with the current situation of Datang.

Along the way, the climate gradually changed, from the hot south to the cool central plains, and then crossed over to the Changling Mountains across the central plains. The climate suddenly changed, and there was actually a chill that had not been seen for a long time.

Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei were both very excited about the change in the weather. Fortunately, their bodies were very strong, and Li Xiaoxin provided them with more clothes in time, otherwise they might have become acclimatized.

Chang'an City is located in the Liangshan Plain area, on the edge of the Yanhe River System, the largest water system in the Eastern Continent. It has been a fertile and wealthy area since ancient times. It has been the imperial capital of successive dynasties. It is a city with a long history. It is said that the city was first built in 6,000 years.

In Chang'an City, the stone tablets from when the city was built six thousand years ago are preserved in the square beside the imperial palace.

Seen from the sky, the area of ​​Chang'an City is huge, almost full of trees. Seeing such a large city from this height, even if you are used to seeing trees in big cities on Earth, you still feel...

This city is a bit intimidating!

However, the big cities on the earth are connected by rail transit, so they are also restricted by rail transit, so they cannot be built too big. The big cities here are connected mainly by flight and supplemented by rail transit, so the scope

It became quite large, and the Eastern Continent was vast, and people were accustomed to using a large amount of land. One building could occupy a huge land area, and as a result, the capital city expanded outward without restriction.

In such a large area, the actual resident population is only 20 million. To be honest, the residential density is really not high, but the scale of the city is really shocking.

Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei, who were lying on the matt glass window, were stunned. These two were also country bumpkins. So they didn't know what to say when they saw such a big scene.

As he got closer to the capital, Kong Zhexu raised his eyes higher when he appeared in front of Lin Shu, which made Lin Shu feel dumbfounded. Was this guy a little schizophrenic? It was as if he had two personalities. One.

The arrogant and dandy young master, the other is an infatuated boy with a little bit of justice and morality.

"How about it? You've never seen such a magnificent city, have you?"

Lin Shu glanced at Kong Zhexu, whose nostrils were pointing upward, and replied honestly: "I've never seen it before. It's too grand. How was such a big city built?"

"Humph! I don't know! It was built slowly over thousands of years. Starting from the city center, you can see the architectural styles of various periods in the history of the entire Eastern Continent, from the simple ones six thousand years ago.

From the grandeur to the modern exquisite personality, it is absolutely magnificent!”

Lin Shu nodded enviously: "It's a city with a lot of history! You should visit it carefully!"

"Haha. You, a country bumpkin, should be careful when you enter the city. The capital is not a border village. The forces in the capital are complicated. The characters in the capital are even more hidden. There are all kinds of organizations and forces in one block, and the streets are full of them.

If you are an awesome person of level six or above, if you offend someone, they might go to the sewers to look for your body! By the way, even if you are thrown into the sewers alive, it will be a miracle that you can come out, haha..."

Lin Shu didn't feel dissatisfied after hearing this, but he had a deep impression of the sewers in the capital. Could this be like the legendary Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, where he was accidentally kidnapped into the sewers?

"Awesome! Is there a sewer party?"

"Haha, there really are, and there are quite a lot of them, and they are very rampant! Walking on the street, you might get caught accidentally, haha..."

Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei were also attracted by Kong Zhexu's words at some point. After hearing the horror he said, their faces turned pale. The other person who was frightened was of course Xiao Xuanzi whose ability to distinguish was basically zero. However, since the Li Xiaoxin poisoning incident

After that, Xiao Xuanzi was very afraid of Kong Zhexu, so she eavesdropped with her back to Kong Zhexu.

Li Xiaoxin, who was facing Xiao Xuanzi, saw that Xiao Xuanzi's expression was wrong, glared at Kong Zhexu and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. If it was really so terrifying, would the capital still be called the capital? However, some places in the capital are indeed quite chaotic, especially some civilians.

Inhabited area!”

Li Xiaoxin said with a trace of disdain and disgust on her face. Obviously, she had been to those places. Lin Shu naturally knew that no matter where they are, such places known as urban scars exist. These places gather people who want to come to the city to pursue their dreams.

Poor people, therefore, all kinds of chaos happen in them, and these places are without exception very disturbing and disgusting.

"Doesn't the capital charge a living fee?" Lin Shu asked a little strangely.

"Of course, but the autonomous committee there is inherently shady. Anyway, over the years, the number of similar civilian areas in the capital has not decreased, but seems to have increased. Of course, this is also related to the capital's need for more labor."

Lin Shu understood what was going on as soon as he thought about it. If there were two million citizens in the capital, then they would need 10 million civilians to provide them with services, and these civilians would pass on this service. In the end, more people would be needed.

Of course, there are more and more civilians, and there are many more shady reasons. As a result, more and more civilian areas have appeared, as well as sewer gangs who hide in the sewers to evade residence fees.

Lin Shu turned his head and looked at Chang'an City, which was getting closer and closer. His impression of Chang'an City began to become more real and complicated. No matter how grand it was, it was still built by humans, and it had the same glamorous and dirty parts.

There is a glorious side and a sad side. This city, like a living person, has happy memories and painful memories, a gorgeous and handsome face, and a smelly butt.

The airships gradually lowered their altitude, and more and more airships could be seen in the sky. The lower the altitude, the greater the density of the airships, but the smaller their size. The airships that Lin Shudeng and others were riding quickly merged into the airships.

in the river, heading towards the east side of the city.

As the height decreased, the buildings on the ground became clearer and clearer. Lin Shu found many buildings with different styles, but most of them were tower buildings. There were literally a forest of towers in the city, and the tallest tower seemed to reach the sky.

Like an iron pillar.

The airship began to slow down again until it reached a very large place filled with green trees and various tower-shaped buildings.

Li Xiaoxin said with a smile: "Here we are, here is the Capital Advanced Magic Academy. It covers an area of ​​192 square kilometers and is divided into six major colleges. The number of teachers and students exceeds 150,000. It is the largest magic academy in the Tang Dynasty and the largest magic academy in the Tang Dynasty.

The highest academic research institution, the Tang Dynasty's Supreme Academy of Magic, is also located here. Everyone is welcome to come and become a member!"

"Six colleges? How are they divided?" Lin Shu asked curiously, aren't they divided according to the magic department?

"Then, I will kindly tell you that the six major colleges are the Academy of Magic, the Academy of Magic Derivatives, the Academy of Animals and Plants, the Academy of Magic Manufacturing, the Academy of Magic Engineering, and the Academy of War. These colleges have many departments, among which the Department of Magic Derivatives Academy

At most, there are as many as seventy-one departments, but some departments only have a few people, and some departments have thousands of people."

Lin Shu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. What a huge college! This must also be an academic holy place and a distribution center for knowledge. Lin Shu likes it here.

Kong Zhexu felt extremely satisfied when he saw Lin Shu's look of shock and admiration on his face. Unfortunately, he forgot that this honor belonged to Datang Advanced Magic Academy, and actually had nothing to do with Kong Zhexu.

"Hey, seeing that you have a good attitude, I will kindly tell you another piece of news to teach you a lesson. The six major colleges are classified by color. The buildings and uniforms of the Magic Academy are all blue, and the Magic Derivative Academy is

Yellow, the School of Zoology and Plants is green, the School of Manufacturing is black, the School of Engineering is cyan, and the School of War is red. As for the white and gray ones, they are public buildings, such as libraries and dueling grounds."

"Duel Arena?!"

"Hey, why are you scared? The Tang Dynasty was a martial arts country and allowed private duels, even life and death duels. Naturally, there is a duel field here. Be careful of being challenged while walking on the road, haha..."

Xiao Xuanzi's face turned blue again, and Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong also turned pale. It turns out that big cities are so scary! Not only will there be kidnappings, but there will also be free duels. The people in the city are really scary!

"Don't listen to his nonsense. A duel is a completely voluntary act, and a life-or-death duel must be applied to the Supreme Court. This is very difficult to achieve. However, people in this academy really like to use duels to resolve disputes, and their lives will not be endangered.

Already."

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Xiaoyong and smiled indifferently. If duels were really so terrible, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many people in this school, and they would all die in duels!

"Then we must be from the College of Zoology and Botany?" Lin Shu asked while looking towards the building decorated with green patterns outside the window.

"Yes, Department of Medicinal Botany, Botany Branch, College of Zoology and Botany!" Li Jinglong suddenly walked into the lounge, looked outside the window, and said with a satisfied smile.

Lin Shu suddenly remembered something and took out his ID card from his pocket. Sure enough, that was what was written on the ID card. In addition, there was an additional academic division. Lin Shu was a student of the 2733 academic year, which was a freshman this year.

Lin Xiaoyong opened the window and looked out the window. The airship had gradually landed downwards. The square below his feet was patterned with green four-leaf clovers. The surrounding trees were densely covered with various tall and short buildings. This was him.
