In the next month, the professors and teachers took the students to visit this Western Mountains again. Along the way, the professors told these students about the various Magic Creature habits and weaknesses they had encountered before, analyzed the resources and creatures in the mountains and rivers along the way, and explained the history of the development and growth of the local tribes, as well as the origins and origins of each alien race.
"Bird Folk, the bird people you often call them, were first promoted as an intelligent race by Hour Sun-Rising Wind Eagle. Unfortunately, most of them have eccentric personalities and are not good at collaboration and management. Later, they were gradually abandoned by "Sun-Rising Wind Eagle"."
"After that, Sun-Rising Wind Eagle" chose our human ancestors as dependents. At that time, Church of the Rising Sun also became the largest organization in the early days of the human race. Its birth determined the framework templates of many subsequent organizations, such as prayer rituals, etiquette templates, meal hierarchies, hierarchical structures of superiors and subordinates, etc."
"The church has planned many professional advancement paths for human beings, and summarized the early occult inheritance system. They assigned special personnel to copy this occult knowledge and handed it over to the priests, allowing them to take this knowledge to spread it to distant uncivilized human tribes."
"Although Sun-Rising Wind Eagle" is long gone, as Hour, it is undoubtedly the key to the rise and prosperity of the human race."
"In that era, following the secret system of Church of the Rising Sun and advancing to a high level, humans can transform themselves into the Angel form." Unlike the body made of flesh and blood, Angel is a body made of light and heat, and will not age and get injured easily. This is the best reward for the best among humans, and it also attracts and guides everyone to this path."
"Unfortunately, with the passing of Sun-Rising Wind Eagle", the Angel transformation ritual has been discontinued. Although there are some similar rituals and secrets, they can only temporarily transform oneself into the Angel form to improve combat effectiveness, and cannot be maintained permanently."
After "losing the protection of Sun-Rising Wind Eagle", the human race of Eighth Era received many solicitations from other Hour. At that time, there were many ideas and thoughts within the human race. Later, they gradually dispersed: there is no longer a completely unified human organization.
"When Fifth Continent and Golden Honey Dynasty were strong, most of the residents in the dynasty were humans. After they reached high levels, they would also receive Queen of Resonant Music's blessing and transform themselves into bees, acquiring certain characteristics of bees. Although they are not as powerful as Angel, they also have many powerful specialties."
"Now Solar Dynasty of the First Continent is favored by Dragon of the Corona. Their royal family also flows with dragon blood. Even in human form, they can have many characteristics of Dragon and are extremely powerful."
"In addition, the distant Sixth Continent is also the land protected by Emerald Dragon. Its royal family also has similar bloodline. Dragon horns will grow on their foreheads, which is extremely majestic."
Everyone was fascinated as they listened to the professor's narration of history and deeds of distant countries, and some curiously asked many detailed questions, such as whether the offspring of a royal family with dragon blood who married an ordinary person would inherit dragon blood.
"If a royal family marries an ordinary person, of course they will inherit dragon blood, but the bloodline will gradually become thinner and their strength will become weaker." The professor replied kindly.
"In fact, except for the princes and princesses who can inherit the throne, the dragon blood of other branches is constantly weakening, and the royal family selected as the heir will briefly arrive at the Dragon Kingdom" during the ceremony, and receive the blessing of the superior Dragon to purify their blood."
"Haha, if you have strong strength in the future and can travel across the Cloud Sea, you can travel to various continents and see more and a richer world."
In the accompanying team, Sylutia heard these words and was touched in her heart. This is what she has always wanted to do, but currently she is not strong enough. If she wants to travel on the vast Cloud Sea, she must at least have the strength of Sixth Order, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Every year, part of the Cloud Sea fleet that travels to various continents disappears into the depths of the Cloud Sea, so every time ordinary people go to sea, it is a big gamble. Although the probability of coming back alive is not small, maybe more than 90%, once an accident occurs, it will be gone forever and no bones will be left.
A month passed leisurely. When the teachers finished teaching the course, they also arrived at the end of the trip, the largest city in the Western Mountains Dragon Tooth Fortress".
This city is located on the edge of a large river, surrounded by several peaks that look like erected fangs, guarding the central city, so it is called "Dragon Tooth Fortress". Legend has it that this place was once the nest of a certain Dragon. Those peaks In the distant era, there were also many sub-dragon creatures, but after the end of "War of Cataclysm", most of the Dragons left Mortal Continent, and this place became a territory fought over by various local ethnic groups.
Two years before the war, this place was ruled by a Orc of Seventh Order. He had powerful Cave Lion Warrior, Black Guard, etc. under his command. He was the most powerful Orc warlord among the Western Mountains.
However, after he was defeated and killed by the Mage Alliance, Moxia's power immediately fell apart, and most of his descendants and ethnic groups died in the war. Now this place is managed by the Mage Alliance, and the headquarters of the Western City Alliance" is also located here. Every day, many airships come and go, transporting supplies and transporting local products.
Walking into this extremely lively city, Sylutia looked around, hearing the sounds of selling and drinking everywhere, as well as travelers and caravans of various races coming over. The road was crowded with beasts of burden and horse-drawn carriages, leaving little room for walking.
"Produced by Refined Steel Great Axe, War-Maniac Workshop, only 3 gold coins!"
"Grilled Kerong Lizard tail, hexagonal tip, delicious~"
"Craft spirits will help you forget today's troubles."
"Aishan Armor, sturdy and affordable."
Vendors and shops on the street enthusiastically promoted sales to visitors. Many Orcs were dazzled by these dazzling products and were eager to buy them. Especially those well-made, heavy and Sharpness fine steel weapons attracted many Orcs to watch, and several were encouraged to come forward and try their hands on them.
"This feels----it's really great." Orc The big man held the axeman in his hand, caressing the polished surface of the ax with his rough fingers, and was reluctant to put it down.
Compared with the light long sword, Orc feels more comfortable with the feel of swinging an ax, and it does not need to be as precise as a sword, which needs to be adjusted from time to time. To deal with the hard-boned beasts in the mountains, the ax is indeed more practical. It can also be used to chop trees and scrape bark, use it as a half hammer to hammer nails, etc.
For these scenes, Thetis Student who was traveling with them was quite novel. Those things that they rarely come into contact with in their daily lives are particularly popular in these mountains.
"I tried that kind of white liquor during my expedition last month. It was so spicy that I had a headache after drinking it. I don't know how these Orc can adapt to it."
"There is also an ax. I am not used to using it. The center of gravity is too far forward and it is too heavy." Some students discussed in a low voice.
"After all, it's Orc----"
Passing through the lively streets, everyone arrived at the headquarters of the City Alliance. This is the Sturdiness fortress in a city within a city. It is said that it was built by the previous Orc warlord, and now it is the headquarters and garrison of the City Alliance.
Walking into it, Sylutia saw many soldiers wearing breastplates and holding halberds training. They were City Alliance's elite, and they were generally First Order· Castle" level, the squad leader will have the strength of the second level "Castle". Occasionally she can see several Knight wearing full body armor walking by.
After arriving at the lobby, Grand Guild Master Halsen, who is now City Alliance, walked down the stairs.
"Oh, my beloved Professor Vekos, and these lovely and outstanding young people, you are finally here." He walked down with a big smile and welcomed everyone.
"Thanks to your help in the battle some time ago, City Alliance was able to survive this difficult time safely. You all contributed a lot." He praised him for a while, which made the students present feel a little embarrassed. After all, we are still students and are relatively simple and shy.
"Okay, Halsen, if you want to compliment me, please come here first. I will bring my students here and will stay here for two weeks. I may need to trouble you to make arrangements." Professor Vekos seemed to be very familiar with the other party. He shook his head slightly and interrupted the other party's long speech.
"Of course, you are always welcome here. I have asked people to clean up your accommodation in advance. You can go directly there later."
"However, you have just arrived today, and you must be weathered. How can I not treat you well?" After saying this, he clapped his hands, and the maids in brown and white uniforms walked out one after another. They carried out the dining table, covered it with a white tablecloth, and then brought all kinds of delicacies.
"In the Western Mountains, there may not be many other resources, but food is extremely rich. Whether it is the rare Royal Honey Nectar in the mountains, the Upstream Salmon in the river, or the Sound-Seeking Spotted Deer running in the forest, they are all rare delicacies." After hearing what he said, many people became excited.
After that, Sylutia sat down with a group of students and ate in the hall. During the process, Halsen enthusiastically introduced the current development situation of the City Alliance to everyone, and told everyone that if they can take up positions here in the future, they will receive double subsidies from the Mage Alliance and City Alliance, and they will be promoted very quickly.
At this moment, Sylutia finally understood the reason why the other party was so enthusiastic. It seemed that he wanted to recruit them.
After entering the third grade, Thetis Academy students will begin to be exposed to practical work, and many students in the fourth and fifth grades will participate in the work of various organizational departments of the Mage Alliance. This way, on the one hand, they can obtain the salary and resources distributed by the Alliance, and on the other hand, they can practice various things they have learned.
However, Thetis Academy students are often the treasures of the entire the Alliance. They receive preferential treatment no matter which institution or department they go to, so few people would choose to take up positions in such a remote area.
Of course Halsen understands this, but the astonishing achievements of these students some time ago made him excited. An outstanding elite genius is better than dozens of ordinary Mage. This ultimate cost-effectiveness and great growth potential make City Alliance, who currently lacks manpower, excited.
Although he himself is at the Sixth Order level, apart from him, there are only a few Sixth Orders in the entire City Alliance. After all, Western Mountains's thorny heads and powerful monsters have been almost wiped out now. The high-level Mage don't want to stay in such a remote place, and the remaining Fifth Order Mage and professionals are often the backbone of various city nodes and are difficult to mobilize. Therefore, as the president of the City Alliance, he actually does not have much power to command. In many cases, all parties have to negotiate and write reports to apply for support from the Alliance headquarters. It is really not pleasant.
After the delicious meal, everyone was guided by the maid to the accommodation here, and Sylutia was arranged in a cliffside bedroom with a beautiful view, where it could overlook the vast scenery and the environment was quiet.
" If Miss Hedra needs anything, you can ask us directly on weekdays." After it was over, the maids left.
Sylutia also settled down here.
In the next two weeks, they continued to receive the teacher's instruction and went to the market in the city with the teacher from time to time to learn about local products, economic development, and the output of various craftsmen's workshops in the city. These experiences greatly enriched the students' knowledge and allowed everyone to build a rough model framework in their minds for the operation of "City Alliance".
"Although everything is still relatively simple, but because of the simplicity, the whole process is very clear and clear, not as complicated as the inside of the Mage Alliance today." The teacher sighed.
"If you are interested in this place, you can also apply to work here later. The Alliance officials and local City Alliance will provide great support."
Two weeks have passed and the students have ushered in the next stage of their trip.
"Now World of Shadows below Western Mountains has established Beacon. After that, we will teleport into World of Shadows and start your first World of Shadows Exploration to learn various knowledge in it."
One day, after the teacher made an announcement, he led everyone into the teleportation pool in the city. Then, under the curious eyes of the students, the surrounding environment shook and changed. A few seconds later, when everyone looked up again, what they saw was no longer the blue sky, but thick piles of stratus clouds.
A silvery-white beam of light rose into the sky, penetrating the clouds and opening a tunnel in the thick layer of clouds, allowing the students to vaguely see the slowly moving surface continent at the end of the sea of clouds.
"Wow, is it already so far away?" The student who arrived at World of Shadows for the first time was curious.
"The environment here is a bit cold."
"The sky is extremely dark and depressing because of the clouds."
After observing the scenery in the sky, everyone turned their attention to the surroundings. Around Beacon, three tall towers stood. They seemed to form some kind of ritual node, supporting this area from being swallowed up by the gray and white domain of World of Shadows.
A professional named Mage comes in and out of this area. Most of them are professionals of level three or above. Sylutia can see many members wearing the badges of other Academy.
"The one carrying the musket is a member of Fire Spirit School." Someone pointed to the figure not far away. The man was wearing strong leather armor, and the musket in his hand exuded a silvery luster. It seemed to be a carefully crafted creation.
After getting familiar with the environment for a while, the professor took them to the guild point of World of Shadows to register, and began the first expedition of this Thetis Student.
