Chapter 459: Li Chang'an

Li Chang'an, the core of the Chinese magic world. Ryan's uncle brought Ryan and Hermione here through the cloud road. Before setting off, Ryan released the rose crystal. How can you miss the little guy when you are going on a trip. But what I didn't expect was that Teacher Luo Zhen and Alice were invited to visit the Palace of Versailles in the past two days. That's why Mr. Luo Zhen's little dolls also ran out when they heard that Ryan was going to take the rose crystal to see the most prosperous place in the magic world of the Celestial Dynasty when they were bored.

So besides the three of them, besides the three of them, there are eight happy-looking puppets standing outside the Lichang'an fountain.

I think your level of making organ man is not low. Uncle looked at the dolls around a water well placed in the compartment and curiously watched the chattering dolls around, stroked their beards and said with a smile. I think I can introduce you to Professor Yanyun in a while. She is a descendant of Yanshi. After seeing these puppets, she will definitely be willing to share with you some valuable things.

After calling these lively little guys over, they walked out of the compartment. Then walk out along a brick road. There is a well in each compartment. When you go out, you can see wizards from time to time turning into a cloud of white mist and dipping into the water, or a cloud of white mist emerging from the water to become a wizard. In short, it's as busy as the huge pile of fireplaces in the Ministry of Magic lobby at work, and there is no free time.

Walking out of the yard, which is the transportation hub of Lichang'an, a quaint city appeared in front of them. The city sits in a huge valley surrounded by mountains. High walls surrounded the city, and they could see row after row of quaint houses in their sights.

This is the heart of the Oriental alchemists. Uncle said proudly. The resident population is 15,000, and it is one of the few cities in the world that belongs to magic people. The city is divided into 18 squares. If you are familiar with history, you can think of this as the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. A miniature version. Since the expansion more than 1,000 years ago to the present, the overall layout of the city has basically remained unchanged.

Miracle. Ryan looked at the city in shock for a while, and finally expressed his inner feelings with the word miracle. Led by their uncle, they walked along Suzaku Avenue. On both sides of the road are various shops, workshops, hotels and residences. However, Ryan also found that this place is still full of traces of the times, such as the lampposts on both sides of the road, and the magic-driven electric speakers that some shops have remodeled themselves.

There are not many people coming and going on the street, and it can be seen that many people come from other places to go shopping or shop in the city. After carefully observing these Chinese wizards, Ryan synthesized his impressions from the previous few days and raised his own question: Why do most of the wizards I saw in England wear wizard robes, while the alchemists on the Chinese side wear the same clothes as ordinary people outside? Almost exactly the same?

This is because of a reform more than a hundred years ago. Uncle said, At that time, the alchemists of the Celestial Dynasty decided to develop themselves after a long war against the dead for hundreds of years, but at that time we had three Everything except the modern alchemist academy is still ancient. After carefully observing the world of ordinary people outside, the leaders of alchemists decided to learn from ordinary people. So we secretly sent a delegation to the world's most advanced The place--Europe for investigation.

Looking at the two young people who were listening attentively, the uncle went on to say: After arriving in England, the delegation was attracted by that completely different world. The roaring machines made them feel a kind of magic that is no less than magic. The power is bursting out. Not to mention that they saw a series of things such as trains, newspapers, electric lights, and flush toilets in the British wizarding world. Compared with them, we seem to be barbarians. When the inspection team returns,

The alchemists of the Celestial Dynasty believed that it was because they were good at learning common people's knowledge that the British magic world was the best in Europe. Since then, we have also started an innovation called civilization and enlightenment, using magic as the core to fully absorb the knowledge in the world of ordinary people.

After hearing these words, Hermione leaned over to Ryan and whispered: The British wizarding world in the eyes of the wizards of the Celestial Dynasty is completely different from the real British wizarding world. They obviously have a wrong understanding.

But I think these deviations are pretty good. When Ryan said this, he saw a magically modified three-jumper carrying a high pile of goods driving past the motorway in the middle of the road. It would be too stupid to simply pretend not to see the progress of the ordinary people's world. Of course, the method of provoking ordinary people's wars like Grindelwald to prevent the development of ordinary people seems even more stupid now, because war is the only way to prevent the development of ordinary people. It’s a catalyst for technology development.”

Okay, we're here. Uncle's previous words interrupted the whispering of the two, and now an antique gate appeared in front of him. The blue plaque with a gold border reads Heavenly Dynasty Alchemist Academy in gold letters.

The school system may be different from yours in the UK. After the students of the Celestial Dynasty graduated from Jiuli, Penglai or Kunlun for seven years, those alchemists who are interested in studying magic arts can pass the exam and come here. Complete their further study within three years. And it is different from the traditional family model of knowledge inheritance a hundred years ago, as long as you can pass the college exam and make enough contributions to the Alchemist Academy and the magic world, then you can be here Obtain the top-notch knowledge of spells in the entire Far East. Over the past century, more than 60% of the great alchemists born to ordinary people are because we have liberated knowledge, which has greatly accelerated our research on spells in the past century .”

The uncle who led them in said: I am here as a professor of extraordinary botany. Look, in front is my laboratory and teaching greenhouse.

It's really big. Ryan saw that the greenhouse in front of him was several times bigger than that of Hogwarts. The greenhouses in the place where I go to school are not as big as here.

Uh— Uncle stood there awkwardly. I mean, I work here. The greenhouse here belongs to the school, and only the small greenhouse next to it belongs to me alone.

The treatment is not bad either. I remember that if we teach Sprout to study something, we have to work hard on our own. Hermione looked enviously at the small greenhouse of about 100 square meters that belonged to Uncle Ryan.

I'm going to study now, you two can just hang out. If you want to come in and study in the academy, you need to pass the exam, but there is a lot of knowledge here that is open to the outside world. Wanting to study here is not just a way to pass the exam and come in to learn. If you If you want to gain knowledge, you can use the knowledge you have, materials and even labor to exchange for points at school. With these points, you can go to the library to exchange for the knowledge you want, and you can even ask free professors to explain it to you.”

The uncle led them to the reception desk for the school's tourists and told them to leave for a long time before leaving, while the dolls followed him around the campus. Each person needs a gold coin to apply for an observer card. However, the points inside have to be exchanged for knowledge or valuable magic items. At the same time, no matter how many points an outsider has, they still need to be approved if they want to see certain knowledge. And all books can only be read in the library and are not allowed to be taken away.

But even though it is so strict, Hermione is still very envious of the academic atmosphere here, especially after she read the list of materials that can be exchanged. Think about Hogwarts. There aren't enough valuable books in the common areas of the library, and the restricted areas are guarded extremely strictly. Every pure-blood family keeps their secrets firmly, and there is no spirit of sharing at all. .”

It's hard to say anything else, at least the way the Celestial Dynasty treats knowledge can avoid a lot of meaningless repeated research, and at the same time, it is of great benefit to promoting magic research.

That's why I said everything starts with education. Ryan smiled. Okay, now let's exchange points first.

What Ryan used to exchange for points was a large pile of seeds he got in the world of Plants vs. Zombies and part of the forging technology from the elves in the world of Lord of the Rings. These things are enough for him to exchange more than 1,000 points to get all the knowledge they want.

Basics of Runes, 174th Edition of Shan Hai Jing, 96th Edition of Bai Ze Tu, Basics of Spells... With a lot of books, Ryan and Hermione started reading in the reading room of the large library stand up.
