Extraordinary Sailing

　　The battle is over and their city tour plan continues.

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

　　The tall and slender pillars of the city's high-rise towers, the black-tone Gothic architecture with a strong exotic flavor, squares, churches, theaters, parks, etc. all tell the prosperity and abundance of the city.

　　The road is lined with trees on both sides, and it is very neat and tidy.

　　Countries on the mainland have suffered several large-scale epidemics in their history. Long ago, under the impetus of the Royal Society of Medicine, the citizens of the city have realized the close relationship between health and health.

　　 At least in public areas such as wealthy districts, administrative districts, church districts, and commercial districts, the sanitary conditions are still very secure.

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

　　 Gabriel is the kingdom’s closest port city to the New World. It is also one of the most important bridgeheads in the great nautical era that began two hundred years ago. Trade and development are the eternal theme here.

　　 But Newin Harbor has a stronger political function. This is the resident of the Royal Naval Academy. It is stationed with the first fleet directly controlled by the royal family. It is also the headquarters of the Adventurers Association and the Sea Hunters Union in Falitis.

　　 "Adventurers' Guild? Sea Hunters Guild?"

　　 Under Krell’s introduction, Ivan became interested in these two non-governmental organizations.

　　 In addition to the logistics and intelligence support of the official system, the two unions are responsible for the functions of introducing crew members, buying and selling intelligence, resource exchange, and task release. They are also strong backing for many wild transcendents to survive.

　　 Although the functions of the two families are somewhat overlapped, they often hold the same position for warmth. They are a behemoth that even the official kingdom cannot ignore.

　　 Therefore, the prosperous Newin Harbor brought about by the flow of people is also inevitable. Even with the strong suppression of the First Fleet and the Naval Academy, law and order has always been a major headache for the consul.

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

　　 Seeing Irwin stopping in front of a magnificent white marble building, Krell, who acts as a tour guide, couldn't help asking.

　　 "Although there are thresholds for registered adventurers, a certain number of years of sailing experience, and at least two members' recommendation letters. But for an official knight, this is not a problem.

　　Moreover, the mission hall of the Adventurer’s Guild will release some missions from time to time for members to pick up, ranging from finding people to hunt for pirates to exploring unfamiliar waters, hunting specific magical creatures and so on. The compensation is not bad, well, if you are short of money. "

　　Krell is worthy of being a snake in Newin Harbor, and he knows all about its secrets.

　　 "Let's talk about it later, after the short training is over and returning to the fleet, I may not have much time to participate in the expedition." Ivan only felt occasionally when he stopped to watch.

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

　　 Most of the Baron Garriott and the male members of the family are senior members of the Adventurer’s Union.

　　 "By the way, Krell. I heard that the Royal Naval Academy has a very rich library. Do you know how to qualify for borrowing?" Irving asked Krell seemingly inadvertently.

　　"Anyone can enter the public library as long as they are students. You should be talking about the legendary ‘shadow library’ that houses countless mysterious knowledge, right?

　　 There is indeed such a place where any student enrolled in the school and the Royal Navy can apply for borrowing, and if they pass the review, they can get a lifetime reading qualification.

　　 Even after graduation, you can always come back here to borrow books. "

　　 Ivan just asked casually. I didn’t expect that Creel knew about this place, and obviously had a deep understanding of it, so I heard him continue to say:

　　"It’s just that no one knows their criteria for judging applicants. There are children who have just entered school in their teens, and they are approved as soon as they apply. There are also senior professors at the college who have been rejected for decades.

　　 Anyway, don’t hold out too much hope! "

　　 At this point, Krell's face is a bit strange, it seems that there is a story in the middle.

"Really? I want to give it a try. Anyway, I just write an application. If I fail, there is nothing wrong." One of Aiwen's main goals in entering the Royal Naval Academy is to enter this library and make up for his weak occultism. Knowledge is naturally impossible to give 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 someone will take care of it there.

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

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

　　Krell did not pour cold water on Ivan again, and told him all the information he knew, but he was obviously not very optimistic about him.

　　 The tour in the back continued, only that the horse had a general understanding of the city, and after having lunch together to get closer, the two quickly returned to the college.

　　 Short training will begin soon, and it is time to make the necessary preparations.

　　......

　　 "Tread...Tread...Tread..."

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

　　 The clock tower constructs a circle of stone steps along the granite wall, and each floor has only a small window the size of a head. Even if the oil lamp is lit, there is a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.

　　 People can't help but slow down their breathing, so as not to disturb some terrible being sleeping in the dark.

　　Only the second day after visiting the city, Ivan, who had already obtained information from Creel, had no patience to wait any longer, and submitted the loan application as soon as possible before the start of school.

　　He can't wait to embrace the mysterious wizarding world...

　　 keep going up the stairs.

　　 went all the way to the end of the steps on the seventh floor, in front of the oak-clad copper gate that was very periodical.

　　 The heavy wooden door is engraved with a large violet embossment, and there is a radiating eye in the middle of the vivid violet flower, which is not like a meaningless decoration, but more like a symbolic symbol with mysterious meaning.

　　 stared at this pattern for a while, Ivan didn't find the corresponding thing in his memory, and didn't think much about it, and knocked on the door lightly.

　　咚, 咚, 咚...

　　 "Come in, the door is unlocked!" A hoarse sound like the friction of an iron sheet sounded behind the door, almost exceeding the timbre limit of human vocal cords, and it was very uncomfortable in my ears.

　　 With the nerve endurance that Ivan thinks is acceptable, it still feels as if thousands of ants rustled through the ears, and shuddered.

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