“The Royal Academy is in front of us.”
The group walked for three to four days before they finally saw a tower in the distance.
Or rather, it was a building.
“It’s not in the city?”
Shu Ke asked Toulon in surprise.
The academy should have been built in the city, but the surroundings were barren. Other than this cluster of buildings, there was nothing else.
Obviously, the building wasn’t in the city, but such a large cluster was similar to a city.
“The Royal Academy doesn’t need these things, and there’s no city that can accommodate them.”
Toulon shook his head and raised his gaze to look at the Royal Academy. For a moment, his heart was filled with emotions.
“The Royal Academy is built according to the structure of the Wizard Tower. There are four towers in total, they are Magic Department, Dou Qi Department, Alchemy Department, and Military Department respectively.
“Among them, Magic and Dou Qi are the main fighting professions—while Alchemy and Military are the auxiliary professions. Alchemy can produce many potions and equipment to help the battlefield
“Military is an important existence that can influence the battlefield. As long as there are no monsters that can crush everything with force, an excellent military commander can completely rewrite the war
“It can be said that the Royal Academy is an important talent center that can allow the kingdom to obtain victory.”
Toulon’s words allowed Shu Ke to roughly understand the important position of the Royal Academy in the kingdom. This position was even higher than his previous evaluation.
“The battle of the Abyss is becoming more and more urgent. This has also caused the status of the Royal Academy in the kingdom to rise. Especially during the Battle of The Demon Wave more than ten years ago. Many experts emerged among the graduates of the Royal Academy.”
“More than ten years ago? Was it eighteen years ago?!”
This word was really too sensitive. Shu Ke almost subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
“Yes, it was eighteen years ago.”
Toulon immediately nodded. “Eighteen years ago, you were freshly born at that time, right? It is said that your parents were also killed in this battle. However, I don’t know why your parents’ names aren’t on the kingdom’s enfeoffment list?”
Toulon knew what Shu Ke was thinking, so he immediately told Shu Ke everything.
“My parents—”
Shu Ke’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “The Battle of the Demon Wave, my parents’ death—”
There was a problem here, and anyone could have sensed it.
The mystery of Shu Ke’s parents’ death and the Battle of The Demon Wave—both had this inseparable secret.
“If you want to find out the truth, you can start from the Battle of The Demon Wave. This is the path with the most records and is the most convenient to find.”
“Yes.”
Shu Ke nodded. He also understood this point.
The Battle of The Demon Wave was definitely the best path for him to find the truth of the past.
But no matter how easy it was, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for the current him.
“I won’t say anything else. In any case, you must remember one thing. Don’t go looking for trouble with the Vincent family— unless you are absolutely certain. This family is far more powerful than you can imagine.”
Toulon knew that it was impossible for him to give up on taking revenge on the Vincent family, and it was also impossible for him to give up searching for the truth of the past.
However, if Shu Ke really wanted to take revenge and cause trouble, it would be too disappointing.
“Teacher, don’t worry. I could endure while being in the Vincent family for eighteen years. Would I bother about enduring for a bit longer?”
Shu Ke’s eyes flickered with a bone-deep hatred, like a venomous snake.
After hearing Shu Ke’s affirmative answer, Toulon immediately felt relieved.
“I’m relieved that you can think like this. The Vincent family is not ordinary. They are a terrifying existence that has existed since ancient times.”
“The history of this family is not exaggerated. It is the truth. Everything you have heard about the family history in the Vincent family is true!”
Shu Ke’s pupils shrank when he heard that. “The family history of the Vincents that sounded like bragging—it was actually true?”
If that was the case, the Vincent family was indeed worthy of being one of the three pillars of the kingdom.
He still had a long way to go before he could destroy this family completely.
“Alright, we’ve arrived.”
As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived above the Royal Academy.
Looking down from the sky, the entire academy seemed like a city surrounded by four tall towers.
Four tall towers that were at least standing around at three hundred meters tall. In the midst of it were a large number of houses and all kinds of strange-looking buildings.
Shu Ke even saw a building that looked like a banana, and it took up a lot of space. He didn’t know what this thing was built for?
“Most of the buildings down there are dormitories and shops. There are even student unions where students can work and study to earn their living expenses. After all, the living expenses in the academy are quite heavy.”
Shu Ke listened to Toulon’s words and nodded his head gently.
He also saw that there was indeed everything at the bottom floor. There were even things like beef cattle, edible magic beasts, wheat, and rice.
Self-sufficiency was completely enough. From this, it could be seen that the Royal Academy was completely a city.
Moreover, this was perhaps the most powerful city placed outside of the capital.
This was because the people here were all fighters or mages.
Moreover, there were quite a number of fighters above this level. From the battle prowess on the surface, the kingdom’s academy was indeed quite powerful.
“Let’s go down.”
As he spoke, Toulon commanded the Radiant Winged Tiger to descend. They finally landed steadily on a piece of empty land.
Ron and the others had arrived earlier than them. They were negotiating with a white-haired old man—with signs of anger.
“Ron, I don’t care who this is, but as the head examiner, you actually allowed them to mess around in the Vincent family’s territory. Now, the Vincent family’s great elder is complaining to me. What do you think I should do?”
“And why do you want to be Shu Ke’s teacher? Are you going against me?!”
The old man was reprimanding Ron when he suddenly saw Toulon bringing Shu Ke down. He immediately frowned.
“You are Toulon and Shu Ke?!”
Shu Ke looked at the old man strangely and then asked Toulon, “Teacher, who is this old man?”
“Kagin, Kagin Vincent, the vice dean of the Vincent family’s main magic department in the academy. According to seniority, you should call him—”
“He’s just an old fart!”
As soon as he said this, the scene fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at Shu Ke with their mouths agape.
