Chapter 272: First Visit to Dongdu
Chapter 272: First Visit to Dongdu
As the center of the East District, Dongren City has no city walls, but it has magnificent towers and gates, as well as a rune magic array covering the entire city. If you want to enter the city, you must go through the city gate.
There are five gates in front of us. There are countless people queuing and convoys, and all kinds of demonized beasts are everywhere, which makes people dizzy.
By seeing what is happening in front of the city gate, you can guess how prosperous this city is.
The name of Dongdu is well deserved!
"What a huge undertaking! I wonder how much energy will be consumed in this day." Ivan is an enchanter and is most sensitive to rune arrays, so his eyes fell on it first.
"Brother, are you an enchanter? Is this your first time in Dongdu?" Three riders came from afar, slowly slowed down and landed beside him. Hearing this, the young wizard in the lead couldn't help but ask.
The wizard, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, rode a white Pegasus and was accompanied by two sword-wielding guards. The guards faintly exuded the aura of a flying knight, and it was obvious that he was of unusual status.
"Indeed." Ivan nodded slightly.
"My name is Rogier, and I'm also an enchanter. I came to Dongdu to participate in the Enchanting Guild's Appreciation Competition. I see that you are someone with a high level of attainment in enchanting, so I came to get to know you." Rogier introduced himself familiarly.
In fact, he also guessed that Ivan's identity was not ordinary, and the aura of the swamp ant revealed this.
When you are out, more friends mean more paths to take, so it’s always a good idea to make some friends.
"My name is 'Ivan'. I came here mainly because an elder summoned me. As for the rest, I haven't decided yet." Ivan said half-truthfully.
"Brother Ivan, let's go into the city together. We wizards don't have to queue up like them." Roger pointed to the city gate on the far right. Unlike the other four entrances, this one was unobstructed.
"please."
Dongren City is a city built by wizards. Not only do you not have to queue, wizards are also exempt from entrance fees. However, you need to register and record your aura before they will issue nameplates.
There is a second-level wizard guarding the city gate, which is enough to ensure that foreign wizards dare not act presumptuously.
Ivan secretly smacked his lips, and went through the entry procedures in an orderly manner. He and Roger arrived in the city, where they saw buildings of various styles. The most eye-catching one was the wizard tower that soared into the clouds, which seemed to be seven or eight stories high from a distance.
"Except for the members of the East Blade Legion, no living creature is allowed to fly at high altitudes in the East Capital. Above ten meters is a restricted area, and the higher you go, the greater the restrictions." Roger gestured upwards and continued his introduction.
He and his guards' Pegasus were already walking on the ground, and their progress was still quite fast, making a constant "da da da" sound.
Ivan couldn't help but look up. He sensed a familiar force from it. It was the gravity that the swamp ants once controlled. No wonder it could prohibit flying.
"Brother Ivan, I have to go to 355 Square to do something first. Which side are you going to?"
"63rd Square."
"You have to go over there, we'll see each other someday."
"Goodbye."
Dongdu is vast and is divided into 999 districts by wizards. The two have different destinations and directions. Before parting, Roger gave him a detailed map of Dongdu.
Ivan realized that there were rivers, lakes, mountains, and everything else in the East Capital. Block 63 was located closer to the center of the city, and there were many official institutions nearby.
Chief Nanil gave him the address which was over there.
Anyone who knows something about the wizard upper echelons knows that there is a formal official organization among the entire wizard community, and the highest institution is the Berta Supreme Council.
The Supreme Council is located in the front-line continent, which is the unoccupied area and the 'Betta Blood Plain' where battles with alien races often break out.
Although China Continent is the heartland of the wizarding community, it is only a second-tier continent, governed by the 'China Tower United Council' under the Berta Supreme Council.
There is a branch of the High Tower Council in Dongdu, located in the 1st Ward, near the center of the city.
"Is bloodline modification a popular trend in recent years? This is very different from the records in the Mona Ant Farm Hut."
Ivan walked along the way and found that there were many bloodline transformers in Dongdu, but not to the extent that almost everyone was transformed like in the Blood Corridor. He also saw pure aliens, who were said to be vassal races of the human race, such as the One-horned Tribe, the Snake-haired Tribe, the Two-tailed Tribe, etc.
After traveling for a long time, he really saw a lot and finally arrived at his destination, Block 63.
'Vernon Millennium Archives'
Ivan checked carefully and confirmed that the building in front of him, which was similar to an old workshop built next to a low hill, was the address given by the chairman.
Deserted is the most appropriate way to describe this place.
He secretly wondered if this was just an inconspicuous government office.
After waiting at the door for a while, he received a reply from Chief Nanil, asking him to go in directly.
Ivan followed instructions and walked into the cold archives. He told the front desk that he was there to see Director Nanier, and someone led him to the depths of the archives.
He discovered that this place was much larger than what he saw from the outside, and had extended into the interior of the mountain behind.
After a while, he came to an archive library and met his direct superior in the Five Leaf Spear, the elegant third-level wizard. He was the only one in the library.
"Chairman Nanil, Ivan Marichaton sends you his long-awaited greetings."
"Ivan, you are finally willing to leave the Moonclamp Peninsula. Please remember to call me by my official title here." Naniel was not angry that he came half a year later than the scheduled time.
"Okay, Director Naniel." Ivan readily agreed.
"We, the Five Leaf Spear, usually don't follow the rules when doing things, which causes many wizards to be prejudiced against us. Unless it is a special moment, there is no need to announce the name of our organization, so as to avoid being targeted by those prejudiced people and causing unnecessary trouble."
Naniel walked outside and motioned for him to follow him.
"Understand." Ivan could indeed understand.
Just think about the purpose of the Five Leaf Spear, "fighting corruption" and "innovation", which one does not involve the vital interests of wizards. Think about Doug and Solomon's style, that unscrupulous look, the reputation of the Five Leaf Spear is definitely not good.
I just don't know if it has reached the point where everyone is calling for his death.
According to his analysis, there should be no such person, otherwise how could he dare to stay in such an official institution.
"That's good to understand. In fact, the Millennium Archives is where our organization is located, so there's nothing to worry about."
"He is the senior enchanter who passed the assessment earlier?"
Naniel took him to another place, passing by many Tibetan pavilions along the way. While talking, the two met a wizard with an aura as deep as the abyss.
The wizard looked like an old woman and also like an old scholar.
"Yes, he is Evan Marichatton, and this is Director Cherry."
"It looks okay."
The other party was obviously one of the two deans of the Vernon Millennium Archives, and should also be the chief of the Five Leaf Spear. Ivan did not dare to neglect him and quickly greeted him.
Director Cherry didn't say much.
It is true that the Vernon Millennium Archives is a branch of the Five Leaf Spear. In a secret room deep inside the archive, there is a volume of the 'Prophet's Book', the symbol of the Five Leaf Spear, and all the necessary equipment.
Witnessed by the two chiefs, Ivan went through an ancient ceremony and officially became a member of the Five Leaf Spear.
