Extraordinary Sailing

With the fighting over, their plans for a city tour continued.

Ivan and Krell, who were not injured, walked on the green street in the center of Newing Harbor.

The slender columns of the tall towers in the city, the Gothic architecture dominated by black tones have a strong exotic style, and the squares, churches, theaters, parks, etc. are all telling the prosperity and affluence of this city.

The trees on both sides of the avenue are shady and well-kept.

Countries on the mainland have suffered from several large-scale epidemics in history. The citizens of the city have long recognized the close relationship between hygiene and health under the impetus of the Royal Society of Medicine.

At least in public areas such as wealthy areas, administrative areas, church areas, and commercial areas, the sanitation is still very secure.

In Aiwen's eyes, as the largest port city on the west coast of the kingdom, Newing Port and Gabrad, where the Third Fleet is stationed, can be said to be good at each other.

Gabrield is the Kingdom's closest port city to the New World, and it is also one of the most important bridgeheads in the Age of Discovery that began two hundred years ago. Commerce and development are the eternal themes here.

On the other hand, Port Newing has stronger political functions. It is the residence of the Royal Naval Academy, where the First Fleet directly controlled by the royal family is stationed.

"Adventurer's Guild? Sea Hunter's Guild?"

Under Krell's introduction, Aiwen became very interested in these two civil organizations.

In addition to the logistics and intelligence support of the official system, these two trade unions are responsible for introducing crew members, buying and selling intelligence, resource exchange, mission release, etc., and are also the strong backing for many wild supernatural beings to survive.

Although the functions of the two companies overlap somewhat, they often huddle together to keep warm and have the same standpoint. They are giants that even the kingdom's officials cannot ignore.

Therefore, despite the prosperity brought by the large number of people in Port Newington, there is also an unavoidable mix of dragons and snakes. Even with the strong suppression of the First Fleet and the Naval Academy, public order has always been a big headache for the consul.

"Why, are you interested in the Adventurer's Guild?"

Seeing Ivan stop in front of a magnificent white marble building, Krell, who was acting as a tour guide, couldn't help asking.

"Although there is a threshold for registering an adventurer, a certain number of years of sailing experience is required, and at least two recommendation letters from members. But for an official knight, this is not a problem.

Moreover, the quest hall of the Adventurer's Guild will release some quests for members to accept from time to time, from finding objects and people to hunt down pirates, to exploring unfamiliar sea areas, hunting specific demonized creatures, and so on. The pay isn't too bad, um, if you're short on money. "

Clare is worthy of being the local snake in Port Newing, and he knows all about the secrets.

"Let's talk about it later. After the short training is over and we return to the fleet, we may not have a lot of time to participate in expedition activities." Aiwen only had occasional feelings when he stopped to watch.

After all, more than a hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Garriott family started as an ordinary adventurer, and built the family from scratch.

Most of the Baron Garriott and the male members of the family in the past are senior members of the Adventurer's Guild.

"By the way, Krell. I heard that the Royal Naval Academy has a library with a very rich collection of books. Do you know how to qualify for borrowing?" Ivan asked Krell seemingly unintentionally.

"Anyone who is a student can enter the public library. You should be talking about the legendary 'Shadow Library' that contains countless mysterious knowledge, right?

Indeed, there is such a place where any student in the school and the Royal Navy who has been guaranteed can apply for a loan, and if they can pass the review, they can obtain a lifetime reading qualification.

Even after graduation, you can come back here to borrow books at any time. "

Ivan just asked casually, but he didn't expect Krell to know this place, and he obviously had a deep understanding of it, so he continued to say:

"It's just that no one knows the criteria they use to judge applicants. There are teenagers who have just entered the school and are approved immediately, and there are also senior professors in the college who have been rejected for decades.

Anyway, don't get your hopes up too much! "

Speaking of this, Claire's face is a little strange, and there seems to be a story in the middle.

"Really? I want to give it a try. Anyway, it's just an application letter. It's okay to fail." One of Ivan's main goals for entering the Royal Naval Academy is to enter this library to make up for his weak mysticism Knowledge, of course, cannot be given up casually.

"Well, the management office of the Shadow Library is on the seventh floor of the clock tower, you need to submit the application in person, and there will be someone in charge of accepting it.

In fact, this is not a secret in the college. If the outstanding students in the college are approved by the professor, they will be informed of the existence of the shadow library.

It's just that although it is located in the college, it has a completely parallel relationship with the school. Although my grandfather used to be a professor of the college, he didn't know much about this library. It can be said that it is the most mysterious library in the college. one of the places. "

Krell didn't pour cold water on Ivan anymore, and told him all the information he knew, but he was obviously not optimistic about him.

The rest of the tour continued, and they only had a general understanding of the city by taking a quick look at the flowers. After having lunch together and getting closer, the two returned to the college quickly.

The short training will start soon, and it is time to make some necessary preparations.

"Tap Tat Tat"

In the darkness, Aiwen took a carefully prepared application and climbed step by step on the stone steps of the clock tower.

The clock tower has a ring of stone steps along the granite wall, and each floor has only a small window the size of a head. Even with oil lamps on, there is a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.

People can't help but step lightly and slow down their breathing, so as not to disturb some terrible existence that is sleeping in the dark.

It was only the second day after visiting the city, and Ivan, who had already received information from Krell, was impatient to continue waiting, and was about to submit the loan application as soon as possible before school started.

He can't wait to embrace the mysterious wizarding world

Keep going up the stairs.

Go all the way to the end of the steps on the seventh floor, in front of the very old oak-clad copper gate.

The heavy wooden door is carved with a relief of the first pair of violets, and a radiant eye grows in the middle of the vivid violet flowers. It is not like a meaningless decoration, but more like a symbol with mysterious meaning.

After staring at this pattern for a while, Aiwen didn't find anything corresponding to it in his memory, so he didn't think much about it, and knocked lightly on the door.

Boom, boom, boom

"Come in, the door is unlocked!" A hoarse voice sounded like iron scraping from behind the door. It almost exceeded the limit of the sound quality that human vocal cords can produce, and it was very uncomfortable to hear.

With the nerve endurance that Aiwen thinks is not bad, it still feels as if thousands of ants are rustling past his ears, and he can't help shivering.

Before seeing anyone, he already had some bad associations about the existence behind the door. Just glanced at the application in his hand, Aiwen bit the bullet, pushed the door and walked in.
