After the Legend Chapter 51: Ancient City

The holidays are coming soon.

The people of Shaonan are wealthy, and they attach great importance to education, as is the capital of magic. In addition to the three magic academies and a children's magic school, the teaching institutions here also have several schools for ordinary people, and most of the local children go to the latter. This is not only because the children's magic school only recruits children with outstanding talents, and the children of magician families with less ability cannot be admitted, but the basic knowledge taught in ordinary schools is very comprehensive, which is quite helpful for the future development of students.

These ordinary schools basically arrange their courses according to the three-level ten-year system. The two-year elementary school is compulsory education. It only teaches a few basic courses, so that students can write and calculate, and have a certain common sense. If they do not continue to study after graduation, then whether it is a small business, an apprenticeship in a shop, or a If you are a trainee servant in the Qianren’s family, you can do the job; after three years of middle school, the subjects you learn are half increased, and the difficulty is also increased, and etiquette courses will be added. Graduated students are qualified for clerical work, housekeepers, clerks, etc.; five years of high school , There will be clear professional divisions, some people study accounting, some people study measurement, some people study management, some people study medicine, some people study law, some people study politics and diplomacy, and so on. After these graduates left the school, they formed the elite class of ordinary people in Shaonan.

Most of the children of magicians, if they can't enter the children's magic school, will receive an ordinary school education while practicing magic at home. After graduating from secondary school, they will enter one of the three magic academies to continue their studies.

Minna graduated from a two-year elementary school in a civilian area. Although she felt a little reluctant to leave like this, she immediately forgot the sadness when she thought of living with her parents. Although Xiao Tianjian felt that his granddaughter had learned too little, he no longer felt a pity when he thought that she could still receive education when she returned to Yidong. Before the summer vacation started, he made preparations for the long journey. Several friends greeted him, and by the way, he scoured a lot of good things from his old friend Hanlin and his wife Patty.

With Sauron, he didn't gain anything. The Potions Professor was very dissatisfied that he was taking away the assistant he had finally trained. In the past two years, Sauron has actually taught Minna as his own student. The requirements are very strict, and he has also formulated a ten-year teaching plan, full of efforts to cultivate her into a talent and show it off to his old rival Sennet. After a while, he was suddenly interrupted by Ming Na's grandfather, and he was so depressed. When Ming Na went to him for the last time, he forced him to peel three hundred slugs, collect a hundred liters of slug mucus, and be sick for three days.

So, Ming Na is actually very happy to be able to escape from the magician's clutches as soon as possible.

Pack up all the luggage that can be packed, and say goodbye to the friends, teachers and classmates who have known each other in the past two years. Mingna boarded the hired boat with her grandfather. With some regret, she thought of Happy, who was confined by her mother to study hard at home because she failed the exam, and silently wished him not to fail the exam next time.

The neighbor's Luba specially came to see their grandparents and grandchildren, with a face full of reluctance: "I'm leaving so soon, my sister is reluctant to bear Xiao Mingna." She also hugged Mingna's head and rubbed it hard.

Ming Na finally broke free, stepped back one meter, and said with a smile: "When will Sister Luba and Brother Wise get married? I will definitely come to the wedding at that time." Wise, the other party winked at her with a smile, and carried a box of dry rations onto the boat.

Luba patted Minna on the head: "Little devil, what are you doing?" Although she said so, when she looked at her sweetheart, the expression on her face was so sweet that it almost dripped with honey.

The luggage is loaded and the ship is off. Luba kept waving her hands to say goodbye to Ming Na and Xiao Tianjian. Suddenly, a pink water lotus with water droplets appeared in front of her, and she knew that Wise had just picked it from the water. When he looked up and saw that he was waving to Ming Na as if nothing was wrong, she patted him a few times, took the flowers, and then raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "It's always this trick, are you bothered... …”

Ming Na looked at the two of them kissing each other on the shore from a distance, snickered secretly, and shouted loudly: "Sister Luba, you have to love each other with brother Wise, don't quarrel!" Looking at Wise, Luba stomped her feet and was yelling at "the troublesome brat" from a long distance away, but was quickly held up by her lover and gagged.

Ming Na laughed and hid back to the cabin. Xiao Tianjian was sitting next to the boatman looking at the scenery. When he saw her, he couldn't help laughing.

The boat they were on was hired from a civilian area. It was slightly larger than the boat they were on when they came. The boatman was a strong middle-aged man. Seeing him shaking the oars, Ming Na became interested and whispered to her grandfather, "Let me shake the boat? I did." She lived in the Magic City for two years and played with local children. No stranger to these things.

Xiao Tianjian hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "The river is too narrow now, there are many boats, and the water is deep. If you want to play, you can talk about it later." Ming Na had to give up.

Because the western civilian area where they lived was in the opposite direction from the Barrow River they had traveled, they walked from the west and went to the capital Yini, a dozen kilometers away, via the Senluo River. After walking for less than ten kilometers, they came to the confluence of the Barrow River. The river is five or six hundred meters wide. There are countless boats going back and forth on the water, and there are bustling markets and residential areas on both sides.

In front of you is the Yi Ni Dam, which was once described as a behemoth five times larger than the Ori Dam. But in Ming Na's view, although the dam is tall, it is not five times as high. But seeing that it blocks the entire river, she suspects that Balderman is probably not referring to the height, right?

The dam has six gates, which are released every day according to the number of passing ships. Ming Na and her party were lucky. When they came to the front of the dam, they happened to encounter the opening gate, and they passed smoothly without waiting. However, after passing through the gate, Ming Na realized what the so-called "five times" meant.

In fact, behind the gate is a large rectangular lake with a border of two or three kilometers wide. Many boats parked in the lake, lined up in three rows under the semaphore command of the dam staff, and then slowly passed through the next gate, and then It's the river.

There are towering dams on the north and south sides of the lake, which seem to be made of large blocks of stone, very strong, while on the east and west sides are mountains and fortresses, Mingna recalled what she had seen in the textbook, plus Grandpa explained on the side that he understood that the dam was actually a defensive fortification of Yini.

After passing the dam, you can see the edge of the city right ahead. Although Shaonan is often the target of aggression by other countries because of the country's wealth, it has never destroyed the country. One of the oldest countries (second only to the Elf Kingdom), and the capital, Yini, is a thousand-year-old capital.

The big river flows through it, so a large part of the city is close to the water, and then the further west, the higher the terrain, a large area of ​​dense houses stretches from the water to the sky, with almost no end in sight, Only vaguely can see a large rose gold building on the top of the mountain, that is the Shaonan Palace.

At this time, it was still early, and Ming Na and her party had just set off. Xiao Tianjian thought that his little granddaughter had left, and he didn't know when he would have a chance to come back, so he simply took her to have a good time along the road. The largest city in the continent, Yi Ni, is naturally not to be missed.

The closer you get to Yi Ni, the more you can see the unique historical traces of the city. Most of the houses are a certain age. Although the exterior walls are newly painted with various bright colors, the mottled walls suggest its age. It is also half a water city. The waterway of Yi Ni is much wider than that of the magic capital, but the strange thing is that large boats are not allowed to enter here, so Ming Na and Xiao Tianjian can only pay to get off the boat and transfer to a local boat.

These small boats range in length from two to five meters, with pointed ends and slender bodies. They are very flexible and convenient to operate whether they are carrying people or cargo. Minna sat at the stern of the boat and entered the waterway of the outer city of Yi Ni, and found that it was quite fast.

Summer is the season when the river rises. The river level rises and floods the low-lying parts of the city. If the magic capital is to build houses on the shore near the water, the current situation of the outer city of Yini seems to be built directly in the water. Ming Na walked all the way and saw that many people were directly supporting the boat to enter the house. On the second or third floor of these buildings, bridges are built to connect with other buildings. The peddler supports boats carrying various goods across the river to sell. If someone wants to buy something, he hangs down a rich basket with a rope, and the hawker will put the goods in the basket and let the customer pick it up.

Ming Na was very interesting, and she lost a few coins to the hawkers, and bought a few snacks and fruits. Among them, the Xiaoyu Rice was less round than the Ori Xiaoyu Rice that she had eaten before. Seed grass, but more fragrant mango and mycelium, the taste is more fragrant.

After Ming Na finished eating these things unhurriedly, the boat she was sitting in walked to the waterway near the Yi Ni branch of the Xiao Family Commercial Bank. The branch here is located in a commercial block in the outer city. It is a building with a pink outer wall. It looks very spacious, and the gate is also submerged in water. But when Minna entered the interior in a boat through the doorway, she realized that there was something special inside.

There are buildings on all sides behind the doorway, with a square pool in the middle, which looks like the Chinese character "hui" taught by Xiao Tianjian. There are stairs on three sides of the pool, and when you climb up the stairs, people from the branch have already greeted them.

Xiao Tianjian is very familiar with the people here, and while saying hello, he walks to the front house surrounded by the crowd. Minna followed closely behind the crowd.

Arriving in front of the house, Xiao Tianjian saw a large strip of red silk cloth tied to the gate, with two wooden carved birds tied at the end, and said with a smile, "Who gave birth to a son? Is it Laogu?" /

The person next to him laughed: "No, Lao Gu's wife was born at the end of last month, she is a daughter." Xiao Tianjian raised his eyebrows: "Yo, eight thousand gold, it's really not easy, Lao Gu, I will be full of love in the future. All the young men will be crazy for your daughter." Everyone smiled kindly, and one of the middle-aged men with dark complexion touched his head embarrassedly, and whispered: "The notice that just came this morning, the **** concubine yesterday The little prince was born late, and this is a prayer for the little prince."

"Oh? Has she already given birth?" Xiao Tianjian nodded, "That's really unfortunate, I remember that according to the rules, circuses and theaters across the country will stop performing before the 100th day?"

"Yes, pray for the little prince. But those people are also rehearsing the new show, and on the day of the centenary celebration, they will show their faces in front of the royal family."

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Ming Na regretfully, but Ming Na had already pouted. She had heard from her grandfather about Yini's circus and theater. She used to wear him to bring her to play during the holidays, but because Sauron refused to let people go, or because her grandfather was not available, she would never come. You can get what you want, but this happens again. One hundred days, she can't wait.

The people in the branch only noticed the existence of Ming Na at this time. After knowing her identity, their expressions were a little strange, but they soon returned to normal and warmly welcomed the grandparents into the house.

They live in two of the best rooms in the main building, and all furniture and supplies are carefully selected. Ming Na has lived a simple life for two or three years, and doesn't care much about these. She opened the window and saw the lively scene on the street outside~IndoMTL.com~ She put away the frustration just now, and happily went shopping with her grandpa.

There is a shop facing the street at the back door of the branch (perhaps it should be said that this is the front door in its true sense), passing through it, the street is outside. Italian-Nepalese business is developed. There are no less than 30 blocks in the outer city alone. More than half of them are mainly commercial, and 30% are half-residential and half-commercial. The rest only have schools, temples, government agencies, medical centers, Pure residential areas, etc.

On the street there are goods from various countries in the mainland, and there are also goods said to be from other continents. Ming Na even found a white porcelain tableware with the name of a shop in Edon Dock. There are so many kinds of goods that it is hard to see, and there are many new and interesting things that are unheard of. She really can't wait to have more eyes. After walking like this for several days, she only visited a few blocks nearby, less than one-tenth of the city of Yi Ni.

In the past few days, she bought two bottles of Shaonan specialty perfume for her mother, a pair of very soft and comfortable calfskin boots for her father, a few jacquard squares for Winnie, and a few small jacquard squares for Grandpa Marshall. I bought the supplementary pills and bought a lot of potion materials for myself. In addition, I bought gifts for the Mirabell grandma and the uncle's family who were about to meet. At this time, she was in trouble again.

What should I buy for my grandpa?

She remembered that on Grandpa Happy's birthday not long ago, Happy bought him a gift, and decided to buy the same.

That night, Xiao Tianjian received a gift from his little granddaughter - a very good girdle, genuine leather made by Nuojia, warm and soft, but he couldn't help but feel depressed, this kind of thing is not for the old man ? It turns out that in the eyes of the little granddaughter, he has reached this age...
