Walking on the Steps of Ares felt like climbing the sacred mountain of Olympus …
The reason was the material used to construct the stairs.
Every time he stepped on the stairs, he would feel a sense of fatigue as if he had crawled dozens of meters on the mountain road.
He relied entirely on the newly acquired Ghoul Arm to forcefully drag his body and complete the second half of the climb.
To be honest, Han Dong felt that it was unfair.
A trainee knight who majored in the talent of Crusader had a stronger physique than others. It would definitely be easier for him to climb such stairs.
After climbing the stairs, Han Dong, who was standing on the platform, could clearly see the civilian area built against the outer city wall, including the Samar area where Nicholas used to live.
It was important to note that the four civilian areas were built in the east, south, west, and north respectively.
The security branch was located near the edge of Samar … It was close to the Ghanaian civilian area where the zombie incident happened and the Black Rose Knight Barton Maldini's hometown.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to move through the civilian area.
…
In front of the platform.
It was a white stone building with a circular dome. It was surrounded by ten-meter-tall stone walls, and he could not see the situation inside the knight academy.
There was only one option to enter the white stone building.
The door was built with a mechanical structure.
When Han Dong approached, steam pushed the piston, causing the large and small gears on the bronze door to rotate. The door opened on its own.
The interior of the room was luxuriously decorated with brass as the main material.
Rows of steel-steam bookshelves against the wall were neatly arranged with various freshman files.
At the steel round table in the center sat a special person in charge.
He wore a wide-brimmed hat and a large number of metal accessories … The most special thing was … Under the brim of the hat, half of the person's face was replaced by brass mechanical devices.
Han Dong did not know if the person's brain was still intact.
"Please show me your knight card."
A standard and magnetic voice came out of the half-metal mouth.
As Han Dong handed over the card, he carefully observed the person's metal side profile. Through the hollow brass gaps, he could vaguely see a complete and functioning brain.
"Warren Nicholas.
You have passed the four-star difficulty newbie event and have chosen mysticism, which has fewer choices.
You have passed the interview team's review. There are not many problems with your background and character.
Now fully activate your card and add the functions of "Treasury", "School Pass" and "Bounty Permit".
The living allowances you receive during your studies, or the monetary rewards you receive from completing missions, will be recorded in the Vault. You can go to any bank in the Holy City to withdraw them and enjoy preferential treatment.
In addition, you can freely enter the ordinary areas of the Academy. You can also accept bounty missions within the Academy, or within the Academy's offices and churches established within the city. "
The golden Apprentice Knight card was fully activated through a device similar to a typewriter.
At the same time, the librarian took out a book with a special metal cover from the safe inside the iron table. It also had the emblem of a crossed sword and a white horse's head printed on it.
Knight's Handbook (Academy Edition)
"The Knight's Handbook has the relevant freshmen arrangements. Please follow the instructions and complete the freshmen registration process.
In addition, the relevant school rules were also listed in the book. It was necessary to memorize all the school rules in a short period of time. Violating the school rules would result in severe punishment.
What you need to note is that there is only one copy of this handbook, and it cannot be shared with others. If you lose it, you will need to apply for a new copy from the academy's management. "
"Alright."
Han Dong carefully flipped through the contents of the manual.
The preface recorded the registration process of the Apprentice Knight in detail.
Please go to the corresponding department according to your major profession and receive the course schedule. According to the different requirements of each department, complete the 'certification' and the selection of a mentor.
Go to the student dormitory area in the Academy and obtain a random room number through the Knight's Card.
"It's quite similar to a university … I wonder what the Mystery Department will be like. According to the librarian, the number of Apprentice Knights majoring in [Mystery] seems to be the least. "
Walking out of the white vaulted building.
Green forests with high coverage.
Open marble roads.
Metal and kerosene street lamps built dozens of meters apart.
The fresh air that entered his body made Han Dong feel refreshed. It gave him a feeling of being in a paradise.
As the Knight Academy occupied a large area, there were bus stops at important places in the Academy. After waiting for a short while, Han Dong sat in a spacious carriage for free and headed to the Mystery Department.
Han Dong noticed that there was a guide sign at every fork.
The five major professions corresponded to the five most important institutions in the Knight Academy. However, there were also other important and indispensable institutions, such as:
[Knight's Building], which was responsible for managing Apprentice Knights.
[Adventurer's Guild], which was responsible for issuing dangerous bounty missions in the Holy City.
[Market], which allowed for free trade and the sale of goods.
[Machinery Manufacturing Association], [Alchemist Association], [Textile Association], [Author's Association], and so on.
Han Dong was very interested in the [Alchemist Association]. Other than that, he was also curious about the [Author's Association].
However, the Knight Academy lacked the typical landmark of a university — the library.
"Due to the different major professions, the library must have been split up and set up in different departments according to the types of books."
The carriage arrived at the academy area under the jurisdiction of the Mystery Department.
The originally lush green scenery of the academy changed instantly. Han Dong did not expect such a huge change.
The dense rows of dead black trees formed a clear boundary with the public area of the academy.
A large number of crows perched on the branches of the dead trees.
Occasionally, the cries of banshees could be heard from the depths of the forest.
Occasionally, the shadow of a giant spider could be seen flashing through the forest.
Even without a wall, no one dared to trespass into this forest.
There was a relatively wide main road that ran deep through this gloomy forest. It snaked towards the main building area of the Mystery Department.
Of course, if one wanted to step on the main road, they had to verify their identity in front of a black metal door. It seemed that as long as one walked on the main road, they would not be attacked by the monsters and spirits in the forest.
When Han Dong got off the carriage and took out his Knight Identity Card, a crow on a branch flapped its wings and stood on top of the metal door.
Its black eyes stared at the card and Han Dong's face.
Creak …
The metal door slowly opened, allowing passage.
