In any case, the meal was enjoyed happily and enjoyed by both host and guest.
Everyone at the banquet was tacit and did not talk about any unappetizing topics, interesting stories, delicious food, fine wines, or good friends.
What is needed for a place is nothing more than these four.
The tea was prepared by His Highness himself, and the wine came from the private brew of Emperor Yuantai.
The person sitting at the table was the emperor of Ste, and the person tasting the wine was the princess of Os.
Xia's disciples served wine and food, and the young daughter of the royal family welcomed the guests.
The so-called luxury and extravagance should not be exceeded.
But no matter how good the banquet is, after all, the food is gone, the cups and plates are in a mess, the wine is over, the banquet is over, and the night comes, the story comes to an end.
So when the night moon was like a hook, hanging coldly in the blue sky, a girl was sitting alone on the flying wing statue by the leaf lake.
It was already midnight. During the day, Ye Ye College had just held the closing ceremony of the Lan Liu Club. At night, exhausted people climbed into the soft beds early.
Even though there should still be patrolling hippogryphs in the Snow Burial Society, there really aren't any at this time.
The night at Ye Ye College was particularly quiet. She sat there bored, her beautiful reflection reflected in the sparkling lake in the moonlight.
If it was so lively during the day, it was so deserted at this time.
Xi Che's figure slowly emerged in the void. Looking at the girl who was completely unaware of his arrival, he smiled and shook his head, approaching quietly step by step.
The girl was humming quietly there.
When a person is bored waiting alone, he will naturally hum some songs, but when he is alone, he will naturally not hum cheerful songs.
Xiche held his breath and listened carefully, only to realize that the song was composed by the girl herself. He couldn't help but stop, waiting for her to finish singing the last line of the lyrics.
"
I leave the warm nest alone
The dinner party just ended there, and she looks young
Obviously very happy and proud
There are so many guys who love me who are not dead yet
But my heart is empty like a dead nest
The sadness that cannot be grasped runs away wantonly
Why is there no eternal beauty?
Walking alone at night is not wonderful
Why is there no eternal beauty?
Walking alone at night is not wonderful
Moonlight is bright
Cold at the corners of my brows and eyes
Waves shine brightly
Crushed into pieces countless lost and swaying
I like you, I like you to the ends of the earth
I hate you so much that the earth shakes
Those who like it and those who hate it will die.
Just like the green mugwort in front of my grave.”
Ye Qing's voice was cold and quiet, just like the moonlight shining on the frosty stone ground in winter, and every word was filled with an ethereal vibrato.
This is a very sad song. A girl who is so busy during the day, when she calms down, most of what she writes is these sad things.
"What's the name?" Xi Che asked.
"Silent Song." Ye Qing replied calmly, not surprised by Xi Che's appearance.
"A very sad song." Xiche nodded.
"Actually, it's not that sad." Ye Qing smiled and shook his head: "I can still sing without being sad."
"Your Majesty Xiche." Ye Qing called out his honorific title: "You invited me to wait for you here, you didn't just want to listen to my singing, right?"
"Of course not." Xi Che shook his head. The young emperor was as sharp as a sword, but as graceful as a lion that had been lying down for a long time: "I just want to take the princess to see something."
"Why me?" Ye Qing asked.
"Because." Xiche smiled like a child: "I like you."
Saying this, Xi Che's body floated up.
He is the third youngest heavenly warrior in the world. A Zhu-level warrior can do such a trivial matter as floating in the air, but floating like him without any fireworks, and taking Xiao Jiu with him, is the moment to show off his skills. .
They were at the feet of Ye Pagoda, floating around Ye Pagoda.
This 333-foot-tall white tower is the tallest building known on the mainland. It is made of solid and huge white stone, but its surface is covered with mithril silver foil.
This magical metal, the lightest yet strongest in the world, was originally a precious material for making various weapons and armors, but for this academy, what matters more is its light texture and high resistance to weathering and corrosion.
"These towers are all painted with countless magic patterns. They rely on mithril to cover up fluctuations and also rely on mithril to transmit magic power." Xi Che said with a slight smile: "The academy left by the saint ultimately wants to The imaginary enemy we are fighting against is no longer the enemy of this continent, but the gods on the other side."
Seeing that Ye Qing was silent, he couldn't help but tease: "Coming to me behind Ge Sheng's back, does it feel like having a late-night tryst with your lover?"
"I've told him." Ye Qing's answer was concise and to the point, but he immediately countered: "I still don't like the uncle who is too much older than me."
Xiche couldn't help coughing twice, then stopped: "We're here."
"Are you here?" Ye Qing couldn't help but be confused, but saw Xi Che stretch out a hand and press it on the mithril silver foil on the wall of the tower.
Then, Ye Qing saw the silver foil glowing.
It was as if Xi Che's fingers were burning with flames, lighting a candle.
They were halfway up Ye Pagoda, and no one would come here. Under the design of the saint, the high tower of Ye Ye College was rarely cleaned, so it was truly inaccessible.
Xi Che's fingers floated around his waist: "I will only show you once. If you want to come in in the future, you have to rely on yourself."
Xi Che's fingers moved according to a certain trajectory, and more and more mithril silver foils lit up, until finally a strange character was formed.
Ye Qing carefully memorized the location and Xi Che's movements, and then hesitantly asked: "Is this? A door?"
"Yes, a door." Xi Che nodded, then held Ye Qing's hand with one hand and patted the center of the character with the other hand.
Perfect space teleportation, the fragments of space flowed around, but there was no dizziness or weightlessness, it was like blinking an eye.
But when Ye Qing looked around, he was shocked.
She was the current Princess Lanye, and she had seen several big scenes. There was nothing that could shock her.
But what was presented to her was beyond shock, and she couldn't relate to any other emotion.
This was a huge stone room. At the "door" in the middle of Ye Ta, she was teleported directly into a stone room.
The large stone chamber is circular in shape, with a radius of nearly ten feet, and a height of more than three feet.
The stone room is very simple, all made of polished white raw stones, and rows of tall wooden shelves.
What shocked Ye Qing was the goods on the shelves.
gold!
How could Ye Qing not have seen Gold? The emperor's family is rich in the world, how can a little gold shock it?
But what if there is a lot of gold?
Ye Qing appeared in the center of the stone room, surrounded by huge shelves two feet high. It took a long ladder to climb to the top of the shelves.
What was piled on the shelves were large red-gold gold bricks, each of which was more than a foot long, seven inches wide, and four inches thick. Each of these gold bricks weighed more than four hundred kilograms.
Such gold bricks have no circulation meaning at all! It can only be used as a pledge of purchasing power.
But how much gold is there?
The entire stone chamber is filled with such large gold bricks!
"About 80,000 kilograms of gold." Xi Che said the answer directly.
"How much tax does Lanye Empire earn per year?" Ye Qing asked him directly without hesitation.
"About two million golden leaf grasses, converted into gold, is equivalent to two hundred thousand catties." Xiche replied slowly. This information is naturally top secret to ordinary people, and it is also very important to Ye Qing who does not care about national affairs. Distant things.
But not to him.
It would be fine to say that he was an ordinary emperor, but he was Xi Che.
"But how can an empire pay all its tax revenue with gold? Silver and physical goods account for the majority of the tax revenue." Xi Che continued: "But here is gold that exceeds one-third of the tax revenue of the Lanye Empire."
"Where exactly is this place?" Ye Qing asked.
"Where do you think this is?" Xi Che asked.
Ye Qing was silent: "The academy's secret library?"
This is the only possible answer.
"Yes, the academy's secret library." Xi Che nodded.
"Why is the entrance to the academy's secret library in such a grand place?" Ye Qing was a little bit excited.
"Of course that's not the entrance to the academy's secret vault." Xi Che shook his head: "That's just the back door."
"Who opened the secret door?"
"Someone who has the ability to open secret doors."
Ye Qing was silent again.
She realized who it was.
This Ye Ye College was a drawing drawn by the saint himself. It took three saints a hundred years to finally build it. This is no longer the wealth that the builders were greedy to leave to future generations, because such a small move is simply not possible. It cannot be hidden from the three saints.
"Why?"
"No one knows why." Xiche said lightly: "You can understand that it is one of the biggest opportunities of Ye Ye College, and it is indeed the top secret. It was originally only passed down among the student council presidents, but due to well-known reasons, Now there are three people in the same timeline who know about this secret door."
"Are you here for them?" Even though he knew it was not the case, Ye Qing still wanted to ask.
"If I can, I really want to." Xi Che shrugged: "But if I did it, Teacher Lin Xi would chase him and force me to vomit out as much as I could eat. Besides, I'm not sure enough to take it away."
Ye Qing sighed and asked the last question: "Why are there so many?"
Yes, why are there so many?
Ye Ye College does have a lot of income, and it has the tax revenue of the entire Ye Ye City.
However, that's all. Ye Qing also knew about the expenses of Ye Ye College. It was like a molten gold cave. Ye Ye College consumes a huge amount of magic materials every year, and the resources provided to cultivate students are almost on demand. Supply, but students of Ye Ye College do not need to pay a single copper for the college.
Therefore, it is surprising that Ye Ye City can maintain such an academy.
However, how can Ye Ye College still have such amazing wealth?
"Otherwise? How can Ye Ye College be called the fourth pole in the world?" Xi Che said with a smile.
"If you also become the student president in the future, you will know what a huge amount of wealth Yi Lanshan's film market will turn over every year."
"Even if some of the properties owned by Ye Ye College outside Ye Ye City are not in the name of the college, they are still under the protection of the college."
"You don't know how many private rare mineral veins Ye Ye College has, nor how many communication channels for magic items Ye Ye College has."
"For such a huge heavenly alliance as the master of Ye Ye Academy, even if the restrictions are loose, every strong person will more or less donate or exchange some precious collections with it. And for existences like Teacher Lin Xi, the entire academy is close to His private property, and all his collections, naturally belong to the college.”
"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Qing understood and asked.
If you can't take the gold, what are you doing here?
"Although there are some things that cannot be taken, there are certainly things that can be taken." Xi Che said.
"This is the underground of Ye Pagoda. The 333-foot Ye Pagoda has a foundation of 99 feet. It was made by draining out nearly half of the groundwater and then fixing the foundation on the rock formation. "
"This ninety-nine-foot-long underground tower with a total of thirty-three floors is the legendary secret vault of the academy."
Along the way, Ye Qing saw countless rare and rare treasures, such as the previous gold storage room. There were two underground floors of the entire Ye Pagoda. Further down, there were pyramids made of countless precious crystals, as well as Ling. In the dazzling spiritual weapon collection room, as long as you can think of the precious treasures that humans can collect, you can find their existence here.
After just passing through the spiritual weapon exhibition room, which was enough to equip dozens of heavenly beings, they finally reached the bottom of the academy's secret vault.
However, compared with the previous shock, this layer is extremely simple.
Because on this level, only books exist.
However, it is said to be a book. In fact, this attributive is not appropriate. The bottom floor of Ye Pagoda is a rather small room, only about three feet. In the center of the room is a round table made of red sandalwood, and around the round table are rows of bookshelves. .
The bookshelf is dark gold, with books with black covers and no titles neatly arranged on it.
The layout of this floor is like a small study room.
But Ye Qing guessed what was stored here.
This is where the most precious treasure of the entire Ye Ye Academy lies.
The original version of "Yue Yi Notes".
"A bookshelf made of time magic metal. This magic metal contains the laws of time. As long as a thumb-sized piece is incorporated into an ordinary spiritual weapon, it will have enough time characteristics to become a rare weapon."
"As for the cover of the notebook, it is the softest dragon skin from the belly of the ancient black dragon. I killed giant dragons that were close to the divine realm one by one, just to wrap my notebook with a suitable book cover."
"This is a rare treasure that would cause a bloody storm in the outside world if even a scratch appears, but here, it is just to protect what they preserve."
"No matter how many years pass, the things recorded in these notes will remain the same as when the lost saint wrote them."
"The ink is still wet."
"Is the copy you gave me from here?" Ye Qing understood.
As early as four years ago, Xiche entered here after being elected as the president of the student union, and then began to study the notes here and copied out what he thought was the most useful fragment.
"Naturally." Xi Che nodded and said: "No one can take it away from here, but it does not mean that the manuscript cannot be taken away. A hundred years ago, the Ye Ye royal family copied the only complete manuscript tape in the world. Entering the Holy City of Lanlan, it became a treasure that suppressed luck, and the original copy of Yue Yi's notes has been lying quietly here.
"Of course, this is also one of the important purposes of my trip."
"Want to hear some stories about that saint? I can guarantee that most of what I tell you are exclusive secrets."
