Chapter 236
This was a question everyone was curious about, including Jiang Chen.
“Yep, and it will be very strict. There will be classes and exams.”
Nan Gong glanced at the six youngsters beside him and said slowly, “Looks like you don’t know much about the Sacred Institute yet. I’ll give you an orientation first. Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions.”
That would be best. The six youngsters were all eyes and ears.
Nan Gong started to introduce the Sacred Institute.
The Sacred Institute was different from groups like sects and schools, gangs and families. The Sacred Institute had all the good points these groups had, but its aim was to train excellent geniuses.
Disciples of the Sacred Institute would have a test every month, an exam every three months, and an evaluation every six months. It paid attention to its disciples’ development in all respects.
That meant as time went by, those cities didn’t need the protection of city walls anymore.
Outside the cities, there were many flat roads. The roads, hundreds or even thousands of miles long, led to other cities. They were bustling with carriages.
In comparison, such a flourishing scene was never seen in the Xia Dynasty, the most powerful country in the Fire Field.
“The Dragon Field is indeed the strongest on the continent!” Lu Fei couldn’t help but exclaim. All of the others agreed with him.
Dozens of minutes later, the machine-operated bird slowed down again. They knew they were about to arrive at the Sacred Institute.
Everyone was excited. They all stood up to look down.
To their surprise, the Sacred Institute was located in a city.
They had thought a place like the Sacred Institute would be located in an isolated place. They wouldn’t have been so surprised if the whole city were the Sacred Institute, but Nan Gong had made it clear: the city below was called the Sacred City, and the Sacred Institute was in the city center.
The Sacred City was a metropolis. It was bigger than all of the cities, towns, and villages of the Xia Dynasty put together.
And because of that, the people living in this city might never have the chance to meet for their whole lives.
Unless there was a great event, the people there only lived in their areas. They knew what was happening in the city via newspapers.
It was a coincidence that Shen Huan had grabbed a discarded daily flying in the wind. It was long and wide. He had to use both of his hands to unfold it.
The others were curious about its contents. They all leaned forward to read it.
Soon, they felt embarrassed, because they understood none of the words printed on the page!
The language used in the Dragon Field was different from that of the Fire Field. Although most of the words looked similar and it was possible to guess what each single word meant, they couldn’t understand a thing when the words were put together.
“Oh?”
Jiang Chen noticed it was the language used in the Sacred Zone 500 years before. He had no difficulty reading it.
There were many columns on the daily, telling of all kinds of events happening in the Sacred City.
