Blue Dragon City is a small and exquisite city. The Red Dragon royal family has continuously arranged its branches and remnants here, making it gradually become a town complex composed of castles and manors.
The tallest building in Blue Dragon City is the dragon's lair on the blue dragon wall on the edge of the city. The dragon's nest here is the residence of the dragon tribe enshrined in the city.
The most important buildings in the city are the castle of the legendary knight McLaren Duke Blue Dragon, the meeting hall of the Blue Dragon family, and the Blue Dragon Knight School.
Although the Blue Dragon Knight School is called the Knight School, it can train priests, knights and magicians, and can even train dragon priests, dragon mages and dragon knights below high level. The knight in the name of the school actually refers to McLaren Blue Dragon Knight.
Because the New Year is approaching, most of the aristocratic students in the school have returned to their families, and the civilian students are also preparing to go home. Now there are only two or three students wandering around the school castle.
Today is December 12, 1996. Rand chose this day specifically because today is a Monday.
On the plains, you don't even have the concept of months, but when you enter a city, especially a place with a strong sense of time like a school, you must have a sense of time based on seven days.
In the morning, the school gatekeeper saw Lant, who had come from afar, and a dozen or so menacing cavalry behind him. He felt that some civilian child who had not left had angered some powerful person. Just like the girl a few years ago, he ran away quickly. Report to the school.
The tallest building in Blue Dragon School is still the Zhulong Terrace, and the second tallest building is the library, which has 9 floors and 5 floors underground. The area of each floor is even larger than the main building of the school. This is the library. The Wheel Knight spent hundreds of years saving up just to compete with the Flying Dragon Mage.
In a corner on the 5th floor of the library, a book certificate floats in the air, the pages are turned silently, and a huge figure lies in a pile of books. Only a head and the tip of its tail protruding from the pile can be seen. .
"Assistant Gu Leiya? Gu Leiya? An elegant lady kept searching in the library and finally saw the pile of books.
"You are here, Gulea."
"What's the matter? Teacher Catherine Jia?" Gu Leiya knew that she couldn't hide anymore, so she pushed away the books beside her with her mage's hand, stood up and saluted.
"Gureya, go and take a look at the gate. It seems that a big noble is coming to cause trouble."
"Which family is so bold? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"I don't know, but I have more than 10 knights with me!"
"So many people? A count is here?"
"The Marquis is not afraid even if he comes, he is just afraid that some girl will offend the nobles again."
"Well, okay, let me go out and have a look." Gu Leiya was still a student at the time and didn't know the details of the matter. She only knew that two girls were jealous of the second son of a small nobleman, which led to the big nobleman asking someone to kidnap the common girl. gone.
As a great dragon-blood mage, Guleiya naturally couldn't walk out of the house by herself. She arrived on a terrace on the fifth floor, and her magic power gathered into wings behind her, and she jumped into the air.
Gu Leiya in the air had already seen Lant and his guards, and immediately understood what was going on. Even if they were flying, they would not return halfway.
Rant watched the door getting closer and closer. When he was approaching, someone actually flew over to greet him. Moreover, he recognized Gu Leiya's tail from a distance and waved repeatedly.
As soon as Gu Leiya landed, Lant was already in front of her.
"You're not here specifically to greet me, are you?"
"Indeed." Gu Leiya usually doesn't say much, but now she knows that many people in the school must be looking over, and she doesn't want to talk anymore.
"That's really troubling you. I came here to go to school."
"Why are there so many people?" Gu Leiya pointed behind.
"They are my followers. Come and get familiar with Blue Dragon City. We will buy a shop in Blue Dragon City in the future."
"Well, you go in." After saying that, Gu Leiya walked back, not wanting to pay attention to Lant.
"Hey, Miss Guleiya, I am naturally very grateful that you came out to greet me. I also hope that you can take me to go through the admission procedures."
"Someone will take care of it." Gu Leiya was very annoyed by Lan.
As they talked and walked, the two of them almost arrived at the school gate and saw Teacher Catherine Jia waiting. Gu Leiya introduced them to them and slipped back to the library.
"So you know Gu Leiya, let me tell you." Catherine said with a smile, "I rarely see anyone dare to talk to her."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, most people think she is a magician when they first meet her and dare not talk to her. In fact, Gu Leiya is very kind at heart and is very enthusiastic about the classmates around her."
"Yeah, I had the honor to meet Gu Leiya before. Her bravery and elegance are famous in our Northwest Territories."
"Really?" Catherine Jia heard that Gu Leiya had recently been to the northwest border, but she didn't know exactly what she did, let alone why bravery and elegance could appear at the same time. At least she had never heard anyone describe it before. Gulea, a 3-meter-tall dragonborn with a two-meter tail, is elegant.
The enrollment was very smooth. After all, the Blue Dragon family had made arrangements in advance. Lant did not need to learn the full set of aristocratic knowledge for 3 or 4 years like other children who had just awakened their bloodline. He only needed to complete the most basic course exams.
According to the aristocratic tradition of the empire, after the children of nobles inspired the bloodline of holding demons, or civilians became knight apprentices, magician apprentices, or priest apprentices, they would be sent to the school system to study.
Of course, small noble lords set up territorial academies in the lord's castle and would only send their heirs to schools in big cities.
At the Blue Dragon Knight School, students with newly inspired bloodline need to learn arithmetic, grammar, nobility’s creed and oath, and imperial law;
After advancing to apprenticeships, apprentices of different professions also need to learn fighting spirit guidance, basic meditation, ritual writing, various basic courses for the three professions, as well as the history of the empire, the priesthood and teachings of the righteous gods, territory management, etc.
If you are not in a hurry to return to the fiefdom after reaching the primary profession, you can stay in school as a support and learn more advanced courses.
The above is the basic education for young children. After all, it is impossible for every noble in the kingdom to break through from a formal school to become a junior professional, so there are also special qualification education and examinations in the school.
Before all knight apprentices are issued knight qualification badges, they need to pass four courses: grammar, arithmetic, riding and combat.
Field internship titles, whether inherited or enfeoffed, require passing four exams: Imperial History, Imperial Law, Territory Management, and Zhengshen Knowledge.
If you want to have your level certified, you also need to pass the grudge test.
As long as the above-mentioned exams are passed, the school will report the test subjects' information layer by layer, and finally report it to the Human Empire Civil Service Department. This department is run by the great-grandson of the God Emperor, the emperor who subsequently ascended the throne, and the fourth generation grandfather of the current emperor.
Only by passing the assessment of the Ministry of Quanxu can the acting title be converted into a formal title.
It seems that the whole process is rigorous and sacred, but from the big family's school to the kingdom to the empire, there are too many departments in between, and there are always opportunities for flexibility.
For example, the qualification examinations in the Dragon Kingdom are very poor. Knight masters who have obtained titles through meritorious service often bring their family scholars to take exams, and teachers and examiners are not surprised.
