The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Zhao Hai woke up early, washed up, and went to the courtyard. He stretched his hands and feet before pushing open the courtyard door and walking out.
When Zhao Hai arrived at five tastes house, he found that it was already open for business. The shopkeeper was also standing behind the counter, doing the accounts.
The shopkeeper heard the footsteps and turned to see Zhao Hai. He quickly put down the account book and walked over. He cupped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, " "Teacher, you're up so early. My five flavor house has just opened and you're already up."
Zhao Hai smiled and looked inside the house of five tastes. It had just opened, and the workers were cleaning the place. However, there were already two item spirit users sitting there and eating.
Zhao Hai knew that the soul owners here relied on the dock for a living. They were usually the workers on the dock, helping the ships load and unload their goods for a living. Therefore, they had to get up early so that they could find work to do.
Zhao Hai glanced at the people in the shop and turned to the shopkeeper, " "Last night was the best sleep I've had in a year. I woke up this morning feeling much more energetic, so I got up earlier. Hehe, shopkeeper, when are we going into the city?"
When the shopkeeper heard Zhao Hai's words, he quickly smiled and said, " "Don't worry, Sir. Tideviewing city opens at 8 am every day. It's only 6 am now. There are still 2 hours left. Please have a meal in my store and take a rest in your room. It's not too late for me to take you into the city after I finish my work in the store."
Zhao Hai didn't make things difficult for the shopkeeper. Instead, he nodded to the shopkeeper and said, " &Quot; alright, then I'll have to trouble you, shopkeeper. I'm going back to my room to rest. You can just have the waiter send some food to my room. &Quot; &Quot; yes, boss! &Quot; the shopkeeper replied. Zhao Hai then cupped his fist towards him and returned to his room.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Hai's back and smiled. &Quot; "This gentleman is truly a unique person. How rare, how rare." After saying that, he returned to his counter and began to do the accounting.
Zhao Hai returned to his room and a waiter soon brought him breakfast. Although the breakfast was not sumptuous, it was very exquisite and delicious. After breakfast, Zhao Hai had been reading in his room. It was not until 9 am that he heard a knock on the door.
Zhao Hai put down his book and opened the door. It was the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Hai open the door, he immediately smiled and said,"Sir, I've already prepared a carriage. Shall we enter the city together?"
"Sure, shopkeeper, please." Zhao Hai nodded. The shopkeeper beckoned Zhao Hai and followed him out of the courtyard.
Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the courtyard. There was a carriage parked outside the courtyard. The shopkeeper led Zhao Hai into the carriage. The carriage was originally used to pull people, so the space inside was not small. However, Zhao Hai's body was huge, so the moment he sat in the carriage, it felt a little crowded.
The shopkeeper didn't mind. After getting on the carriage, a coachman drove the carriage into the city. The dock was not far from tideviewing city. In less than an hour, they had entered the city smoothly. What surprised Zhao Hai was that although the city had walls, there was no one guarding the gate. It was very strange.
After the carriage entered the city, it kept moving forward. After a while, it stopped in front of a huge archway. The shopkeeper invited Zhao Hai to get off the carriage. Zhao Hai raised his head and took a look at the archway. On the archway, there were three big words, calligraphy courtyard. The words were written with silver hooks and iron strokes. They were very beautiful.
The shopkeeper asked the shop assistant to Park the carriage to the side and led Zhao Hai into the decorated archway. Once they entered the archway, they saw a Straight Street. Zhao Hai looked at the two sides of the street and found that there were courtyards on both sides of the street. Some of them had words like " Tinglin courtyards " and " stargazing courtyards " written on them. Although he didn't know what these courtyards were for, he could tell. Zhao Hai could hear the sound of reading from the courtyards. It was very pleasant to the ears.
Zhao Hai smiled slightly. The Civil continent was indeed different. In the soldier soul continent, such Academies were not seen. They were usually opened by the major families and were only used for the children of the families. However, the academies in the soldier soul continent did not teach literature. They mainly taught various professions, unlike the academies in the Civil continent, which only taught literature.
Not long after, Zhao Hai and the innkeeper arrived at a courtyard called the Huiwen Hall. In front of the courtyard, there were two people standing there. Both of them were actually weapon soul masters, and he was also a sword soul Master.
The two of them were dressed in light armor, standing straight and looking straight ahead. They seemed to be in high spirits, and Zhao Hai could even see a faint sense of pride on their faces.
Zhao Hai was taken aback. In the soldier Soul Nation, sword spirit users were highly valued. They were a class above others wherever they went. Although there were some families who used soldier spirit users as guards, only the ancient families could do that. Other families could not do that.
But here, the Academy actually let two soldier soul holders guard the door, and not only did they not feel ashamed at all, on the contrary, they felt very proud, which was really hard to imagine.
The innkeeper stepped forward and showed a waist token to the two of them. Then, he led Zhao Hai into the courtyard. It was a very large courtyard with a small building in it. The innkeeper led Zhao Hai into the small building. The floor of the building was paved with a small table on the floor. Beside the table were cushions. There were more than ten small tables like this in the entire building. Behind each table was a scholar with some pen and paper on the table.
The shopkeeper led Zhao Hai to a small table and bowed to the scholar behind the table, " "Jin Xueli greets teacher."
The scholar looked at Chu Xueli and nodded his head. &Quot; "It's you, Xueli. I heard that you have taken over your family's business, and it has been a while since you came to the Academy? How's your family's business?"
Jin Xueli quickly said, " thank you for your concern, Sir. The family business is doing well. My father is old and his physical strength is not up to par. He can't manage the family business anymore, so I have to go home to take over the business. &Quot;
The scholar nodded and said, " that's good too. As long as you are dedicated to your studies, it doesn't matter where you study. In the future, if you have any questions, you can come back to the Academy to find teacher to solve them. Filial piety is the most important virtue. You should go home and serve your father well. This is good. &Quot;
Chu Xueli quickly said, " thank you for your teachings, Sir. I have another matter to discuss with you today. This is Sir from the soldier spirit continent. He just arrived outside of tideviewing city last night and is staying in my family's small shop. I have invited him to the Academy to get his identity card today. &Quot;
The moment Chu Xueli's words left his mouth, the entire first floor was silent. The scholars who were talking in low voices all focused their gazes on Zhao Hai. The first thing they noticed was the soul on Zhao Hai's head. When they saw that it was a plant soul, the interest in their eyes became even deeper.
The person who was talking to Jin Xueli was stunned when he heard Jin Xueli say that. Then, he immediately focused his attention on Zhao Hai. He stood up and cupped his fists at Zhao Hai, " "Are you from the soldier soul continent, Sir?"
Zhao Hai smiled and returned the greeting, " &Quot; yes, I am Zhao Hai, core disciple of the HU clan from the blade Spirit Kingdom of soldier spirit continent. Greetings, Mister. &Quot; He was using his real name, and no one here knew him anyway.
When the scholar heard Zhao Hai's words, he quickly said, " &Quot; you're too kind, Sir. I didn't expect you to be from the soldier soul continent. You must have had a hard time. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it's alright. My ancestor came to the Civil continent before and left a map for me. I followed the map all the way here. Although it took me a long time, it was still smooth. &Quot;
"Please have a seat, Sir. I'll issue an identity card for you," the scholar said with a nod. Zhao Hai thanked him and sat down. The scholar sat down as well. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote on it. After reading it, he walked to a cabinet at the side and took out a Jade tablet. The Jade tablet was only the size of a palm. It was white and very beautiful.
The scholar placed the Jade tablet on the table and the paper he had written on. Then, he moved his hand and a white light appeared in his hand. When the white light disappeared, Zhao Hai found that the content on the paper had been printed on the Jade tablet. On the White jade tablet, there were rows of black, tiny words, which looked very beautiful.
After that, the scholar passed the Jade token to Zhao Hai and said, " &Quot; Sir, this is your identity plate in the literature continent. You can do whatever you want in the literature continent. Nobody will trouble you. Please keep it well. &Quot;
&Quot; thank you. &Quot; Zhao Hai took the Jade tablet and looked at it carefully. He realized that the words on the Jade tablet seemed to have penetrated into the Jade tablet. It couldn't be wiped off by hand. This was really rare.
Zhao Hai looked at the Jade token with a shocked expression. He only recovered after a while. Then, he turned to the scholar and said,"Teacher's methods are truly good. This one can be considered to have witnessed it today. May I ask teacher if this one can study in the Academy?"
The scholar smiled and said, " it's just a small trick. Of course, you can study in the college. Not only in the calligraphy college in chaosview city, but you can also attend classes in any college in the literature continent. We welcome guests from other continents very much. You can even give lessons to the students in the college if you want to. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment before he smiled. &Quot; "I see. I understand. Thank you, sir."
The scholar smiled and said, " you're too kind. Do you have a place to stay? if you don't, you can stay in the Academy. During your stay in the Academy, you will be free of charge. You can also listen to classes freely in the Academy. Even the library of the Academy will be open to you for free. You can rest assured. &Quot;
Zhao Hai stood up with his identity token and cupped his fists at the scholar,"Thank you for your guidance, Sir. I was thinking of studying in the Academy for a while, so I'll have to trouble the Academy if I can."
The scholar stood up and returned the greeting. &Quot; what did teacher say? Xueli, take teacher to Zhen Wen Hall to settle down. Introduce the Academy to teacher. &Quot; &Quot; yes, " Jin Xueli replied and led Zhao Hai out.
