Chapter 531： Port of Enlightenment

Chapter 531 Enlightenment Harbor

The end of October 4420 in the solar calendar.

The kingdom of Byron in the extreme north of the continent is being covered by ice and snow.

Although Byron, Beelzebub in the far west, and the capital of Shuoli in the far south are collectively called the "Three Subsidiary Kingdoms" of the Trisur Empire, in fact, more than a thousand years ago, with the increase of the empire's dominance, Reduced, this has long been reduced to a dead letter.

It's just that there are fears among the four major powers, and they have not torn their faces openly, and still maintain a delicate balance.

The current ruler of Byron is named William Lev, who is honored as "King Byron" by the people of the empire, or "The Monarch of the Northern Continent", and the local residents of Byron prefer to call their king "The King of the North". king".

In fact, William Lev is not a direct bloodline of the Alexei royal family, but a distant relative... This can be traced back more than a thousand years ago. After the fall of the previous King Byron, the kingdom could not find a high-ranking crown prince to succeed. It fell into chaos, and William Lev, as the second angel of the sequence, turned out and was invited to the throne.

He may not be a generation of virtuous kings, but he has protected Byron for thousands of years, protecting the northern border from war and harassment, and is deeply loved and respected by the people.

Byron Kingdom implements a three-level administrative system. The entire territory is composed of three counties, and each county has ten districts under it. Further down, there are countless villages and towns.

High Tower County, River Bend District, Enlightenment Port.

The boundary here is located in the middle of the Kingdom of Byron, along with the largest river in the territory, the Bruckner River. Taking a boat here, you can go directly to the Eastern Misty Sea, and even go south to the Trisur Empire.

The Port of Enlightenment plays a pivotal role in the Kingdom of Byron, not only because it is an "ice-free port" with great commercial value, but also because it is home to one of the two most famous colleges in the kingdom, St. Byron's College.

Another college is located in the royal city of Kain, named the Miracle College. These two colleges are called "the place of double star education" by the people of Byron, which shows their resounding names.

Whether it is astronomy and geography, or mathematics and art, or even emerging industrial machinery and chemical electricity, hundreds of disciplines can be studied in these two highly comprehensive colleges. Many talents in the Kingdom of Byron have graduated since then, and even Ulrich, the chief assistant of the royal family today, is an outstanding graduate of the 1065th class of the Miracle Academy.

Of course, only people in the mysterious field, or high-ranking people, know that these two academies are actually "cradles" for cultivating extraordinary people with magic paths.

Behind them are the Alexei Royal Family and the Madman School.

In the cold wind blowing port, on the spacious and snow-covered stone road, a thick carriage slowly passed by. Wooden wheels tied with hemp rope and iron sheets rolled over the snow, making a rustling sound.

The coachman, wrapped in a fur coat and a scarf and cotton hat, lifted the flagon and drank cheap spirits, whipped the horses, and yelled foreign language.

Sitting in the carriage on a sunny day, Xiaoyu opened the curtains boredly and saw the huge statue on the sea level.

"Teacher, is that huge statue 'Mr. Jing Yao'?"

She pointed to the huge creature in her sight and asked.

Polaris was also attracted by her words, and turned his head to look out of the car window... At the end of the spacious stone plank road, farther away on the sea, stood a bronze statue of a human being about 300 meters high, dressed in a long robe and with a head He wears a pointed top hat, holds a book in his left hand, and holds a square hammer in his right hand.

The sledgehammer was burning with raging flames all the time. The flames were not bright yellow, but magical blue-green. Even the wind and snow could not extinguish it. Even on the bronze statue, no snow can be seen, as if it will be melted by high temperature when approached... The shiny bronze color seems to never fade.

"It's not 'Mr. Jing Yao'."

Chen Lun tasted the local hot milk, feeling its different flavor from the empire, shook his head and smiled.

He glanced at the giant bronze statue like a spectacle, and explained:

"That's Mr. Jingyao's former servant, Honorino who is known as the 'First Scorpio' or 'Miracle Knight'... It is rumored that he is not like a high-ranking person in the ordinary magic path, who specializes in spells, but is better at using magic Combining his body to fight, his strength is ferocious, and he even attacked Madame Qiangwei's kingdom of God alone... It's a pity that he fell in the battle of God. Work together to cast this spectacle bronze statue."

Looking at the surprised expressions of the two students, Chen Lun added another sentence:

"Of course it is not only a landmark building, but also has many other functions, such as acting as a lighthouse... Enlightenment Port is foggy all year round, and ships far away will not easily get lost as long as they can see the bright guiding fire."

He still didn't say a word.

That is, if a war breaks out, this bronze statue can still exert the mythical power comparable to that of a high-ranking person, which is a rare strategic spectacle.

These experiences are half accumulated from previous lives, and half are secrets that I gradually learned after I was promoted to a high position.

"Wow... Is this the angel from the magic department? It sounds very epic! And such a big spectacle, I have never seen it in the Cuisul Empire..."

Sunny and light rain said in surprise.

"Each kingdom has its own uniqueness, otherwise it would not be able to compete with the empire for so long."

Polaris said.

He immediately glanced at the gentleman in black hat, hesitated for a while before asking:

"Teacher, will we stay here for a while?"

"Um."

Chen Lun put down the empty cup and responded softly.

"I will take you to 'St. Byron's College' for further study."

"That's great! You can go to school now!"

Sunny and light rain clasped their hands together and said expectantly.

Polaris glanced at her, but thought secretly that she was dreaming.

They are players, and it is impossible for them to spend several years or ten years slowly studying for the exam like the NPC here, because knowledge needs to be accumulated.

Even if they have a panel that can shorten the learning process, useful transcendent knowledge is extremely rare, and finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's not going to school, but working."

Chen Lun shook his head and said.

On a sunny day, Xiao Yu couldn't help being taken aback, and opened his mouth slightly:

"Doing... a part-time job?"

Polaris raised his eyebrows, and said to himself that it was true.

"Well, you will study with me when the time comes, and at the same time you need to find a job in St. Byron College to earn a living. This is also a kind of training for you."

Chen Lun said slowly.

"Most of the knowledge in the academy is common subjects, which are of no great use to superhumans, but I will teach you supernatural knowledge related to magic."

"So this is ah…"

Sunny and light rain nodded clearly.

But she didn’t show any disappointment on her face. Instead, she clenched her fists with full motivation and said seriously:

"Don't worry, teacher, even if I work part-time, I will earn enough gold pounds to honor you!"

"I'm relieved if you have this drive."

Chen Lun smiled, then turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

The reason why he arranged this way was mainly because he was worried that the two players would mess up in the academy and disrupt his plan.

In order to ensure that he can "develop" safely, he simply tied these two guys to his side, and then took the time to "feed" a little knowledge to them, and while hanging them, he used it as a controlled experiment by the way.

As for the rhetoric of working for a living...

He didn't believe it himself.

It would be strange for Xiaoyu to be starved to death on a sunny day with the backing of the Little Silver Fox Guild. As for Polaris, he is number one in the dignified rankings, and he probably has little savings.

The carriage drove through a section of road and entered the urban area of ​​Qidi Port, Chen Lun suddenly opened his mouth and said to the carriage driver outside:

"Old man, please go to the 'Byron Golden Pavilion'."

What he said was not the common language of the empire, but a local dialect. Polaris and Sunny Rain are players, so they can understand it naturally. At the same time, they have long been familiar with Mr. Jack's "versatile talents".

"No problem, my lord!"

The coachman turned his head quickly and shouted into the carriage.

From the moment he got in the car, he recognized that the gentleman in the black hat headed by him was definitely an aristocrat. Regardless of his attire or temperament, he was simply not comparable to the middle class or the lower class.

Although a man and a woman are also dressed exquisitely, they are more likely to be his servants. I heard that nobles like to play like this...

Now that he heard that he was going to "Byron's Golden Pavilion", the coachman confirmed this even more.

That is the largest and most sophisticated bank vault in the Kingdom of Byron!

If you are not an upper-class person, you will generally not go there to deposit and withdraw coins, or do investment business. After all, the high handling fee is enough to dissuade most ordinary people.

Roller…

The carriage drove for another ten minutes before slowly stopping.

"My lord, the Golden Pavilion is here!"

It was snowing heavily, and the coachman had no choice but to shout louder.

Polaris acted as the front of the saddle and the rear of the horse, pulling the curtains of the car respectfully, letting the teacher and younger sisters get out of the car first, and finally getting off by himself.

This gentlemanly behavior won the favor and praise of Qingtian Xiaoyu. Chen Lun just watched with a smile, and then turned around and paid the coachman two silver nobility as a reward.

"My lord, this... you are from Trisur?"

The coachman was a little surprised, and then asked with a flattering smile.

Chen Lun nodded slightly.

"Well, we came from the empire, so we came here to exchange coins for the first time... Is it convenient to accept the silver nobility I gave you? If so, you can wait for a while, and I will go in and exchange some Byron coins. Here you go."

"Oh no, we also accept the coins of the empire. After all, the cart pullers can always meet strangers at the port, and often receive currencies from various countries..."

The coachman grinned.

"According to the exchange rate, the two silver nobility you gave are equivalent to four Hongkeshi, which is enough for me to pull four more trips. Thank you for your generosity, noble lord."

Chen Lun smiled, said goodbye to him briefly, and immediately climbed the marble stairs of Byron's Golden Pavilion with Polaris and light rain on a sunny day.

The currency of the Kingdom of Byron is similar to that of the Trisur Empire. It is also divided into three types. The currency with the lowest purchasing power is "Square Iron", the medium is "Red Keshi", and the highest is "Langabo". The exchange ratio between them Around 80.

Although the industry here is not as good as the empire, the purchasing power of coins is actually greater.

Chen Lun intends to exchange some money on his body first, and then he can do activities in the Kingdom of Byron. After all, you have to spend money wherever you go, and you can't just pay the empire's coins for everyone, that's inconvenient.

At the entrance of the high-end Byron Golden Pavilion, there stood a tall guard on the left and right, wearing a square felt hat and holding a flintlock rifle with a bayonet. Chest salute, and personally opened the door.

After entering, a beautiful blond waitress' eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to say hello:

"Welcome to Byron's Golden Pavilion, distinguished guest, what do you need?"
