The Remnant City - An Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 33 The Seventh Watch Tower
After returning to the city, he went to the Explorers Association as usual. This time it was past lunch time, and Karin stepped into the Explorers Association where the staff were taking a lunch break.
The clerk lady has a suitable commission this time, but the distance is too far, and the normal journey would take more than half a year.
This commission has a long time limit to undertake, but because the distance is so long, of course the sooner the better.
Karin thought about it and decided to forget it for now. He felt that there was still a lot of space to explore here, so he did not accept the commission, but he did not hope that the most senior explorer would accept it too quickly.
In Carlin's impression, the city was surrounded by mountains on one side and facing water on the other. He left the Explorers Association and decided to go to the city gate near the mountains to see the situation first.
As soon as Tutu reached his destination, he saw six double-headed carriages driving in, escorted by explorers. The four in front were together, and the two in the back were together.
The sound of a large number of copper coins colliding could be heard as the four carriages moved along, but no matter how you thought, the total number of copper coins in this carriage did not amount to a hundred linseys.
Although it would be very noisy, Carlin decided to zoom in and listen to what the pedestrians passing by were saying. At the same time, he kept an eye on the cars to see if there were any recognizable marks on them.
Then he noticed that the two cars behind had many unnecessary ornate decorations, and the curtains on the cars were also embroidered with the coat of arms of unknown nobles.
With Carlin's hearing, he could naturally hear a dignified voice from inside the carriage in front of him that sounded like the head of a noble family talking to the butler, talking about trivial matters such as specialties.
In the car at the back, there were excited discussions between boys and girls. It seemed that they had left their homes and came to another city for the first time.
Karin couldn't think in parallel, couldn't process so much information, and could only choose one to focus on by concentrating his senses. He prioritized listening to information from the sound coming from the vehicle of the person suspected of being the head of the family.
But soon the two convoys separated from the intersection, and the two carriages drove straight towards the college area.
The person suspected to be the owner of the family in the carriage in front is named Rolian von Marza. He is a noble baron. Although the location is remote, his territory is larger than that of the viscount, and the animal husbandry and food processing industries are very prosperous.
Good. If this is not considered outstanding, the planting and wine industries in the territory are not inferior to those of the nearby viscounty.
This baron was once a powerful sorcerer. After he quit exploring and returned to his hometown, he held a marriage ceremony with the daughter of a duke who also left home early.
After that, he accidentally found the ruins underground in his current territory and opened them completely. He made various contributions to the principality and was finally rewarded by the Queen herself.
His butler was also a skilled gunfighter and experienced many adventures with Baron Luo Lian when he was still an adventurer.
The children in the carriage behind them are the children of the second baroness and the fifth baroness, the second daughter and seventh son respectively, but the age difference is not more than one year.
The conversation between the baron and the steward about the past ended when the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the college area. The baron asked the steward in an equal tone to manage the territory in the next month. He had some things to deal with.
After the carriage stopped, the housekeeper got out of the car and got into the carriage behind, while the blond girl, who looked about five years old, went to her father's carriage very sensibly. Then the two carriages separated.
This butler is over fifty years old. Although he has gray hair, his seemingly thin body is quite explosive hidden under the black and white butler uniform. The muscles revealed by his steps and grabbing the car when boarding can be seen.
figure it out.
As the name suggests, the academy area is full of schools, and the landmark buildings are of course also various schools.
Since he followed the two carriages to the academy area, Carlin simply went in to take a look. He could cast low-level spells but had never learned them before. Furthermore, he was also curious about what the baron was doing here.
Although he couldn't enter the school, of course he could walk on the road between the school and the carriage, so he walked along the direction the baron left.
The road between the college areas is quite spacious, but there are not many pedestrians. The small white and yellow flowers blooming between the trees on both sides of the road are very beautiful, so they are more conspicuous if they are too close.
Deliberately keeping the distance also made Carlin miss the opportunity to talk to the baron. When the carriage stopped, the baron, dressed in gorgeous clothes, took the little hand of his daughter who had just finished coquettishly getting out of the car, and entrusted his reluctant daughter to wait at the school gate.
After teaching for a long time, he returned to the carriage and gave instructions to the coachman.
After that, the space fluctuated and the powerful heartbeat belonging to the Baron's heart disappeared.
And this school has a quite extensive garden, with flower beds blooming with small flowers of various colors.
The girl followed the female teacher wearing a nun's uniform and walked inside. It happened to be the end of get out of class, and many girls also walked out of the white two-story teaching building and went for a walk in the garden.
There is no doubt that this is a girls' school related to the church. Even the guards responsible for opening and closing the door are women!
Of course, that had nothing to do with Kalin. Kalin took one more look at the school, and then prepared to walk around before leaving. He wanted to find out if there were other types of schools, such as ones that were open to the public and had less strict entrance restrictions.
That kind of.
Going around in a circle, there are four typical schools in the college area.
The first is an intermediate college that provides preparatory students to the Royal Capital of Rosemary or other royal colleges that are at the forefront of academics.
The second type is a lower-level academy for children to master reciprocal etiquette, mostly for the eldest and second sons of noble families.
The third type is the Craftsman College, which is a college jointly funded by various associations to cultivate high-end technical professions.
The last one is the Explorer Academy. Basically, children from noble families after the fourth son have no chance to stay at home. A considerable number of them will become explorers. Of course, there are also many orphans adopted by the church or civilians with talents.
Of course, at Karin’s age, he may only be able to become a teacher.
A dark cloud blocked the sun, and the wind picked up a little. It might rain. It would not be suitable to leave the city. Carlin decided to go to the city gate where the carriage drove in before, planning to ask the guards guarding the gate or passers-by.
, except for the big forest in the east, what are the areas outside the other city gates.
Except for a few pedestrians, Carlin, who had collected intelligence, was walking on the edge of the college area. On the road, he saw a mature black hooded beauty leading a young black-haired explorer on a commission. In the college area, there were only cats and dogs.
content.
According to his habit, Carlin tried to listen to the conversation they might be having, and took a look at how many schools there were in the current area. If there was nothing important, he continued to walk towards the city gate.
Behind you, on the east side of the road, is a school that mainly teaches magic, archery, and equestrianism. To the left in the direction in front of you is an explorer school with only one teaching building but a large area.
Seeing that both of them were looking around without talking to each other, Karin took his eyes away from the young black-haired investigator who was looking around and left the academy area.
However, when we returned to the city gate, there were no people entering or leaving the city, and the guards happened to be taking over work. Moreover, when there were no cases, there was no need to register when leaving the city gate during the day.
Compared with the city gate in the forest on the other side that specifically provides services to explorers, this place is much more relaxed. Karin found a guard who seemed to have finished handing over the work, and planned to ask if all the other city gates except the east gate were open.
It is a forestry, fishery and other areas.
There is indeed a minimum fishery. In order to preserve the lake and provide drinking water, fish ponds are built by diverting water. Forestry is completely unnecessary. After all, sometimes to inhibit the expansion of forests into open spaces outside the city, regular felling is required, and this production
The wood produced is enough for Lawton to use.
"So the mountainous areas around Lawton are actually not very developed?" Carlin was a little confused.
"I remember that there was a quarry, but in recent years there has been little need for stone, and it has not been started for a long time." The guard thought for a while and replied.
Karin thanked the guard and raised his head to look at the sky. At this time, dark clouds were approaching and the sky was so gray that it was difficult to judge the approximate time.
He didn't want to go out in the heavy rain at all, so he planned to go back to the college area and walk around a few more times, and then find a place to take shelter when it started to rain.
When we returned, it started to rain lightly, and most of the children in each school naturally returned indoors. At this time, a certain explorer school that was still noisy attracted people's attention.
Kalina walked towards the noisy direction to see what the teachers and students inside were doing. If she couldn't see anything, consider letting go of her hearing.
It took a lot of energy to free up hearing in the rain, but Carlin was lucky enough to find a metal fence wall that was not a stone wall, and he could see the school playground.
A strong man teacher was giving a lecture. He first activated the flame shield to evaporate the rainwater, and then taught the excited-looking children - mostly boys - the nature of magic.
Children of different levels of dress were chirping and saw that the learning atmosphere in this school was very good.
It didn't look like the rain was very heavy, so Karin planned to watch quietly for a while and soak up the rain here.
"Children, listen, magic is actually vitality. You may not understand this. Let me make a hypothesis. Even if a soldier eats much more food than others, it will be difficult for him to gain weight. The reason is that the excess food brings about
The excess life force generated by the energy is converted into magic power."
"Sir, I heard from the adults in the association that magic has various elemental attributes. Yours is the fire type, sir. What will ours be?" Among the excited children, one child asked calmly.
Sir - of course, in Carlin's knowledge, he should be called a teacher, he asked a question very much like a child would ask.
"That's a good question, but I can only say that I don't know. But to a certain extent, the magic seeds generated by the vitality you have accumulated must be pure magic. This will attract different elements according to your personality. For example, the flame of fire magic
Elements are easily attracted by emotions generated by those with passionate personalities, easily angry, or positive and optimistic. But this is not all the criteria for judgment. Of course, these are issues that scriveners need to consider, and I am not fully aware of them."
