Chapter 316：

Kevin, holding a large pile of books, walked crookedly up the stairs. Because the sight was blocked by the scroll, he had to move carefully

Probe the stairs with your feet, and climb up slowly step by step.

Once upstairs, he walked along the corridor until he came to a door at the end.

"Teacher, I brought the scroll for you."

An old man's angry voice came from inside: "Oh, Kevin, thank you for your hard work."

"Let me open the door for you." Another voice sounded, that of Senior Mond.

The door of the room opened, revealing the shiny forehead of the senior, "Come here, put it here."

Kevin walked in with the book in his arms, and carefully placed the scroll on the table that Mond pointed to.

"Teacher, senior, is there anything else?"

David Aldridge stroked his long and white beard with a smile, and said, "It's okay, you can sit here and rest for a while, and go out with me with Mond later."

"Yes, teacher." As soon as he heard that he was going out, Kevin's eyes were immediately filled with excitement. He felt that he didn't need to rest at all, he could go now.

But maybe the teacher and seniors were not ready yet, he walked happily to stand by the window, and Mond came over and pushed him into a chair next to him.

It has been a while since Kevin came to Gabela Imperial Capital, and he feels that since he left the Northwest Gulf, he has spent every day in novelty.

After bidding farewell to his parents in the salt village, Mond took him all the way westward, passing through the northeastern territories of the Aldo Kingdom, crossing the Inner Rodan Corridor, and then turning south along the edge of the Sunset Mountains to enter the territory of the Gabela Empire.

After walking out of the Nerodan Valley, Kevin was very worried. After all, this is the edge of the prairie. He was afraid that some orcs would come and **** the two of them, and then they would be salted or dried to make food—the adults in the village were all To scare disobedient children like this, the people of the Northwest Gulf grew up with the fierce reputation of orcs.

Mond laughed loudly after hearing his worries, "Don't worry, although the orcs look different from humans, they are still a kind of civilization, and they don't have the habit of cannibalism. And although they will attack human territories and plunder wantonly, they don't They will rob business travelers and pedestrians who pass through their land. There is a shortage of supplies on the prairie, so what can we do if the merchants are too scared to come.”

"In the end, they are very similar to humans. Don't human nations often break out wars with each other? The difference is that the orcs start wars to rob things, while humans will find a high-sounding reason—although absolutely Most of the time it’s also about grabbing things.”

After listening to the senior's words, Kevin let go of the heart that had been hanging.

Along the way, Kevin's cognition has been refreshed. When passing through Center City, he saw the largest city in the Northwest Gulf that his parents said, and thought that the legendary capital of Aldo and Gabela would be that big, but since entering Gabela’s territory, He had seen several cities that were bigger than Center one after another. After coming to the imperial capital, the area of ​​this city was much beyond his cognition.

The endless streets, the rows of buildings, the bustling crowds, every feature of this city made him grin from ear to ear. Excitement and inferiority complex lingered in his heart at the same time. He would study and live in this kind of place in the future.

Mond took him to the Scholar's Tower. The Bachelor's Tower is not just a tower. In a broad sense, the Bachelor's Tower is a large group of college buildings. Different from the noise in other places in the imperial capital, it is very quiet for scholars to live and study in.

In a narrow sense, the scholar's tower is a white tower standing in the middle of this area. This tower is also a huge library, which stores all kinds of precious materials and even rare copies. Some people say that the most valuable place in Gabela is not the royal treasury but this ancient white tower—this statement has been generally accepted by the world.

After coming here, Kevin met the old man whom he hadn't seen for a long time—Scholar David Aldridge, the one who asked Senior Mond to travel thousands of miles to the Northwest Bay to pick him up, saving himself from prison. Kevin was so grateful that he knelt down as soon as he met him. As a result, the mentor who had just met lost his "temper" and told him that he was not allowed to kneel to anyone in the future, even if he met Emperor Gabela, he could just bow.

Are all bachelors so arrogant? Kevin's heart was filled with admiration and admiration, especially the old man in front of him.

After settling down in the Bachelor's Tower, the first thing he needs to learn is Gabela's language. Mond has taught him some daily expressions on the way here, but he still needs to study hard to truly integrate into the life here. Kevin has a good talent in this area. In addition, Gabela and Aldo have something in common. After a period of time, he can already go out to buy what he wants and ask for directions.

Kevin sat on a chair and looked at his mentor and seniors. They were discussing an unfolded letter paper and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and someone outside said, "Master Aldrich, the carriage is ready."

It turned out that they were waiting for the carriage, and Kevin couldn't wait to stand up.

"Okay, Mond, Kevin, let's go."

Aldridge stroked his long beard, picked up a wooden stick, and walked out, followed by Mond and Kevin.

They boarded the carriage, the driver shook the reins, and drove out without haste. The scholar's tower and the surrounding roads are paved with stone slabs, UU reading www.uukanshu. com and is very flat, sitting in the carriage is not uncomfortable at all.

After the carriage drove for a while, Kevin asked curiously, "Teacher, where are we going?" For exercise, he now uses Gabela as long as he can.

Aldridge glanced at Kevin with satisfaction. The pronunciation of the question just now was very standard. This student is really good, with both talent and diligence. He thought of Aldo's little princess, who was also very talented in languages ​​and was also one of his most proud students.

The old bachelor happily replied: "Hehe, we are going to the palace to discuss something with His Majesty."

Kevin was shocked: "Huh? The palace? His Majesty the Emperor?"

The highest-ranking person he had ever met before coming to Gabela was Earl Paul Greiman, Lord of Arda. Now all of a sudden, he wants to follow his mentor to meet the emperor of a country.

Paul has gained a lot of knowledge recently, and he also knows that although the earl can be said to be a nobleman with a high status, but above the earl there is the marquis, above the marquis there is the duke, above the duke there is the grand duke, and above the grand duke is the grand duke. The king is gone. And Gabela's emperor, although he is the lord of a country like the king, is theoretically half a level higher than the king-the king is only a secular title, and the emperor has a layer of sacred meaning.

Comparing the one he was going to meet with his original lord, it was a world apart.

"Mentor, I...I..." Kevin was a little embarrassed and stuttered.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. From now on, I'll take you there often, once you're acquainted and second time... Oh, it's almost here."

Maester Aldridge comforted him with a relaxed expression as if he was visiting a neighbor.

Just like that, Kevin sat in the carriage and drove towards the heavily guarded gate of the palace with anxiety.
