Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

() This time, Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei had had enough of the airship ride. They departed from the border village and landed every two to three days for supplies. The airship flew for 21 days before reaching Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. ..

Lin Shu finds it very interesting. I remember seeing it in the writings of that military strategist. It is said that the control area of ​​a country has something to do with the time of projecting troops. It is said that the areas that can project troops within 20 days are all Firmly controlling the area, I don't know if this data coincides with Datang's current situation.

Flying along the way, the climate gradually changed, from the hot south to the cool central plain, and then crossed the Changling Mountains across the central plain. Both Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei were very excited about the changes in the weather. Fortunately, their bodies were strong, and Li Xiaoxin added clothes to them in time, otherwise they might not be acclimatized.

Chang'an City is located in the Liangshan Plain, on the edge of the Yanhe River System, the largest water system in the Eastern Continent. It has been a rich and affluent area since ancient times. It is the di du of successive dynasties. It is a city with a long history. It is said that the city was first built in 6000. In the city of Chang'an, the steles from the founding of the city 6000 years ago are preserved in the square beside the 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 that This city is so big that it is a little daunting!

However, the big cities on the earth are connected by rail transit, so they are also limited by rail transit, so it is impossible to build too large, and the big cities here are connected mainly by flight and supplemented by rail transit, so the scope It has become quite large, and the eastern continent has a vast area, and people are used to using a lot of land.A building can occupy a huge land area, resulting in the unlimited outward expansion of the capital.

On such a large area, the actual resident population is only 2000 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 matte glass window, were dumbfounded. These two are also country bumpkins.So seeing such a big scene, I don't know what to say at all.

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 like he couldn't laugh or cry, this guy is a little schizophrenic!It's almost like having two personalities.One is an arrogant and playful son, and the other is an infatuated boy with a bit of justice and morality.

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

Lin Shu glanced at Kong Zhexu, whose nostrils were upturned, and replied honestly: "I have never seen it before. This is too grand. How did such a big city be built?"

"Huh! I have no experience! This 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 atmosphere 6000 years ago, It is absolutely magnificent to modern exquisite personality!"

Lin Shu nodded enviously: "A city with a lot of history! You must visit it!"

"Hehe. You country bumpkin should be careful when you enter the city. The capital is not a border village. The forces in the capital are intricate and complicated. The people in the capital are even more hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are various organizations and forces in one block, and the streets are full of people. If you are a bully above the sixth level, if you offend someone, you might go to the sewer to find your body! By the way, even if you are thrown into the sewer alive, it will be a miracle that you can come out, haha..."

Lin Shu didn't think it was disobedient when he heard it, but he had a deep impression of the sewers in the capital. Could this be like the legendary Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, who was accidentally taken captive into the sewers?

"Awesome! Is there a sewer party?"

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

Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei were also attracted by Kong Zhexu's words at some point. Hearing the horror he said, they couldn't help but turn pale. The other one who was terrified was of course Xiao Xuanzi whose discrimination ability was basically equal to 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 face was not right, and she glared at Kong Zhexu and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, if it is really so scary, is the capital still called the capital? However, some places in the capital are really messy, especially some An area populated by civilians!"

As Li Xiaoxin said, a trace of contempt and disgust appeared on her face. Obviously, she had been to those places. Lin Shu naturally knew that no matter where they were, such places called urban scars existed. These places gathered people who wanted to come to the city to find their dreams. Poor people, so all kinds of chaos happen in it, and these places are without exception very disturbing and disgusting.

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

"Of course, but the self-government committee there is full of shady things. Anyway, over the years, the number of similar civilian areas in the capital has not decreased, and there seem to be more. Of course, this is also related to the need for more labor in the capital."

Lin Shu understood what was going on when he thought about it. If there were 200 million citizens in the capital, they would need 1000 million civilians to provide them with services. Civilians, of course, have many more shady reasons. As a result, these more and more civilian areas have appeared, as well as sewer gangs who hide in the sewers to avoid residence fees.

Lin Shu turned his head to look at Chang'an City, which was getting closer and closer, and his impression of Chang'an City began to become real and complicated. No matter how magnificent it is, it is still built by humans, and it also has bright and dirty parts. On the one hand, there are brilliant and sad sides. This city, like a living person, has happy memories and painful memories, a gorgeous and handsome face, and a stinky butt.

The airship gradually lowered its height, 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 the size. The airships that Lin Shudeng and others took quickly merged into the airship In the river, go to the east side of the city.

As the height decreased, the buildings on the ground became more and more clear. Lin Shu found many buildings with different styles, but most of them were tower buildings. The city was full of towers. The tallest tower seemed to reach the sky Like iron pillars.

The airship started to slow down again when it reached a place of huge size, filled with green trees and various tower-shaped buildings.

Li Xiaoxin smiled and said: "Here we are, here is the Beijing Advanced Magic Academy, covering an area of ​​190 square kilometers, divided into six colleges, with more than 15 teachers and students. It is the largest magic academy in Datang and the highest academic research institution in Datang. Institution, Datang Supreme Academy of Magic is also located here. Welcome everyone to come and become a member of it!"

"Six colleges? How is this divided?" Lin Shu asked curiously, isn't it divided according to the magic department?

"Then, let me tell you kindly that the six colleges are the School of Magic, the School of Magical Derivation, the School of Animals and Plants, the School of Magic Manufacturing, the School of Magical Engineering, and the School of Warfare. These schools have many departments, among which the Department of Magical Derivation At most, there are as many as 71 departments, but some departments have only a few people, while others have thousands of people."

Lin Shu nodded like a pecking rice, what a huge academy!This place must also be an academic sanctuary, a place for collecting and distributing knowledge. Lin Shu likes it here.

Seeing Lin Shu's expression of shock and admiration, Kong Zhexu felt extremely satisfied, but unfortunately he forgot that this honor belongs to Datang Advanced Magic Academy, and actually has nothing to do with Kong Zhexu.

"Hey, I see that you have a good attitude, so I will tell you another news with great kindness, so that you can learn to be good. The six colleges are classified by color. The buildings and school uniforms of the Magic Academy are all in blue as the main color. The Magic Derivative Academy It is yellow, the College of Zoology and Botany is green, the College of Manufacturing is black, the College of Engineering is blue, and the College of War is red. As for those white and gray, they are public buildings, such as libraries and dueling fields. some type of."

"Duel field?!"

"Hey, what, are you scared? Tang Shangwu allows folk duels, even life-and-death duels. Naturally, there is a duel field here. Be careful when you walk on the road and be challenged by others, 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 kidnapping, but also 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-and-death duel must be applied to the Supreme Court, which is very difficult to achieve. However, people in this academy really like to use duels to resolve disputes, and they will not endanger their lives. That's it."

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Xiaoyong, and smiled indifferently. If duels were really so scary, there might not be so many people in this school. They all died duels!

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

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

Lin Shu suddenly thought of something, and took out his ID card from his pocket. Sure enough, that was what was written in the ID card, and there was another class division. Lin Shu was a student of class 2733, that is, a freshman this year.

Lin Xiaoyong opened the window and looked out the window. The airship has gradually descended. The square under his feet is covered with patterns made of green four-leaf clover. The surrounding trees are densely covered with various tall and short buildings. Is it your new home?It looks beautiful and mysterious!
