The team is full of girls who are single until retirement based on their strength

The speed of the griffin is really fast. Compared with the train that Caesar took before, it is like heaven and earth. Flying is indeed faster than running.

As the griffin's wings danced, the huge royal city was getting closer and closer in Caesar's eyes. The huge city walls were the product of magic. They looked extremely magnificent at first glance, like a giant lying on the ground listening to the heartbeat of the earth.

The gate of the capital of Ornn's empire is extremely huge, and two subspecies of Behemoth are responsible for opening and closing it every day. Although this creature has green skin like goblins, the blood of Behemoth is real golden creatures flowing in its body.

This creature is famous for its great strength. The road at the city gate is constantly handling all kinds of carriages, and people of different races can be seen here.

On the main road of the 32 entrances, there are both horse-drawn carriages and dragon carriages pulled by ground dragons.

This kind of dragon-like creature is a rarity on the border. After all, most of these creatures are carnivorous. For the poor border people, their cost-effectiveness is obviously not as good as that of a horse, which is just a little slower but can be fed with grass.

It doesn't even need grass or fodder. Once the reins are untied, it will find some grass to eat and come back automatically. It is much more docile than this dragon creature.

Griffins are always eye-catching wherever they go, especially when there is a golden griffin with very pure bloodline here. Passers-by on the ground all look at it with attention.

This was the first time that Caesar had ridden a flying mount to fly in the sky. When he was an adventurer, he had thought about getting a mount to travel with. But he later found that these mounts could not run as fast as Caesar himself.

What's the point of riding a mount? If you encounter danger, do you run away with the horse on your back?

But at this moment, Xi Ze truly felt the significance of the mount for the first time. It was not a practical tool, but simply a fashion item.

Flying over the capital on a griffin, Caesar felt the greatness of the city in front of him. The huge city wall was accompanied by a huge shadow, and the tall bell tower was also a hundred meters high. The entire city was built on the mountain.

According to Caesar's understanding, the royal city is divided into the inner city and the outer city. There is a huge moat between the inner city and the outer city, separating the inner city from the outer city.

The base of the Royal Capital Knights is in the outer city of the Royal Capital, occupying a fairly large area.

The base of this knight order was chosen in the downtown area. Flying all the way here, Caesar could see many shops on the road, crowded together.

Caesar even saw a fried food store run by a halfling in a palm-sized space, selling fried foods such as fried chicken fillets and fried chicken legs.

Presumably, every inch of land in this capital is valuable, but the fact that a base of the Knights was built in such a place that is comparable to a royal garden is enough to show how much the royal family of the Orn Empire values ​​the Knights.

There is no other reason for choosing this place, it is purely because it is close to the inner city. Once something happens in the inner city, the Griffin Knights in the Knights Templar can quickly cross the moat and come to the vicinity of the palace.

The griffin landed in an open space that looked like a garden, and as soon as it landed, someone came and led the griffin away.

The people who took the griffin away were also wearing simple knight armor. How should I describe it? More like... novice armor? Caesar thought so.

"Take Mr. Caesar to take a statement, and then send Mr. Caesar to the Phoenix Academy of Magic." Jefferson ordered.

"Yes!" Knight Danny stomped his right foot hard, knocked his left chest with his right fist and responded loudly, What? You want to donate your heart too?

"Mr. Caesar, I still have to interrogate the prisoner, so I'll excuse myself for now. Please go and take the statement with Danny. If you need anything later, you can tell Danny and he will try his best to meet your requirements." The princess nodded to Caesar, turned around and left with another guard.

By the way, the [Magic Swordsman] Mr. Trevor was taken away by another guard. He was still sleeping all the way here, which shows that Caesar’s method of coaxing people to sleep is first-rate.

"Please follow me." Knight Danny turned slightly and made a "please" gesture with his right hand.

The record was made quickly. Caesar only had to briefly explain what happened on the train, and the other details were supplemented by the reliable knight. As for the suitcase, it was handed over as evidence.

Although it was done quickly, it was already noon in a blink of an eye. Danny invited Caesar to the Knights' canteen for lunch.

I have to say that the Knights Templar seem to be in good order, and I rarely see idle knights along the way.

According to Danny, the Knights implemented a shift system after the reform, and the knights basically work three days and rest one day.

On the way to the cafeteria, Caesar saw many knights queuing up to eat in the cafeteria. These were basically apprentice knights, and their number accounted for more than 90% of the entire Royal Capital Knights.

Basically, the patrol work of the entire royal capital is completed by these apprentice knights. They are an important part of the security work of the entire royal capital. Generally, when they go out, they form a group of three and are responsible for an area. Each patrol lasts more than eight hours, and they work in three shifts to ensure that there are people patrolling all day.

There are only about 280 Griffin Knights like Danny in the entire Knights Order.

The requirements to become a griffin knight are very harsh. After all, it is quite difficult to tame this ferocious silver race.

A griffin consumes about 25 to 30 pounds of meat a day when not flying, and double or even half as much when flying. The cost of feeding a griffin is very expensive, and the knight of a griffin also needs to be carefully evaluated.

Acquiring a griffin is already quite difficult. Taming a chick is much more difficult than most people imagine. Chicks must be trained when they are less than three months old, before their first feathers grow.

If it is too late, there is a 10% chance that it will not accept the new "family". If it is still abused, the sense of disapproval may increase by 20% every month (captivity is considered abuse). If the chicks are not treated according to their wishes, they are likely to attack their owners.

There is a no-fly order in the capital. Only flying objects smaller than a sparrow do not require a pilot's license, but the Griffin Knights have all obtained flight permits.

By the way, if you casually spread your wind wings and glide in the city, your pilot's license will be revoked, so be sure to read the Ornn Capital Flight Manual carefully.

Otherwise, you will be betrayed three times, and in the end you won't even be able to be a hero. That would be very troublesome, right?

The food of the Knights Templar can be said to be quite good. At noon today, Caesar had a piece of steak and a large bowl of noodles mixed with tomato and minced meat. The steak was marinated with spices.

In this world, spices are a luxury for most people, but here, everyone can enjoy a large piece of spiced steak for lunch.

Knight Danny said proudly, "The standard for a meal for each person in our Knights is one hundred and twenty copper coins."

It can be seen that the knights being able to eat meat every day is an employee benefit that he is quite proud of.

(PS: In the Ornn Empire, one gold is equal to ten silver coins, which is approximately equal to one thousand copper coins)

Walking towards the outside of the Knights Templar, you can occasionally see knights wielding swords and practicing magic.

The outer city of the royal capital is divided into four districts: east, west, south and north. The East City and North City are relatively more prosperous than the West City and South City. The bases of Phoenix Magic University and the Royal Capital Knights are both in the East City.

Xi Ze really didn't want to continue to trouble others. This was just his personality. He could be said to be a little independent, or a little introverted. Sometimes, even if he was lost on the road for two hours, he didn't want to ask strangers for directions. His main characteristic was independence.

"How can that be? You are new to the capital, and as a local, I am asking you to go out alone in a place where you are unfamiliar with. For a knight, this is quite rude."

Danny insisted on sending Caesar to his destination: "Phoenix University of Magic is not far from here, so why not ride a horse? How about I walk with you? I can also introduce you to the capital."

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Caesar had no choice but to agree to the proposal, and the two set off on foot together.

Walking on the bluestone ground of the capital, Xi Ze suddenly felt dazed. When he was an adventurer in the border, every day was very tense. After defeating a boss, he had to prepare the equipment and targeted potions for the next target.

There are mostly adults on the border, and you rarely see innocent children. Some of them you think are children are actually halflings. They look pitiful, but in fact they have long regarded you as a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

People on the border have to endure the invasion of monsters every day. Since the national border is adjacent to the territory of the demons, wanted criminals who can't make it in the demon empire will come to harass them from time to time.

People are very vigilant, and in order to survive, everyone has to think about many things every day.

But the people here are very different from those in the border area. There is a strong atmosphere of life here. There are vendors selling fruits on the spacious streets, and the owners are taking naps behind the stalls.

Children playing and fighting can be seen everywhere on the streets. Halflings can not only be thieves, but also be ordinary shoe shiners here.

Some of the vendors on both sides sell magical items.

Most of them are magic crystal balls with magic circles engraved inside. If you shake them, the small flowers inside will sway and dance, which looks quite interesting.

With such a tall knight by his side, everyone around him gave way.

On the way, we saw a building that looked like a super large tent. Its structure was made up of many thick wooden stakes, which were then wrapped in cloth.

It was impossible to tell what they were doing at first glance. Two tiger men with shackles on their bodies were looking at the gate on the left and right. It was impossible to tell what they were doing at first glance.

"What is this place for?" Caesar asked curiously, "Circus?"

Danny said with a hint of disgust in his tone, "No, this is a slave market."

Oh, so this is a slave market. Caesar had seen slave-catching teams before when he was trying to make a living at the border of the empire.

At the border, you can often encounter some wanted criminals, most of whom have been stripped of their citizenship. Most of those who are wanted have special skills, and quite a few of them can be sold for a good price.

Of course, the slave-hunting teams on the border of the empire were basically people without any bottom line. Since the demons on the other side seemed to be in civil strife, they often took advantage of the chaos to capture some refugees and bring them back to the capital to sell.

There was no slave market on the border, because the poor guys there couldn't offer a good price. Caesar hated the idea of ​​enslaving others.

After leaving the slave market and walking for about half an hour, Caesar finally arrived at his destination.

Phoenix University of Magic had a two-semester system per year. It was the end of July now and the students were on vacation, so the school was quite deserted.

The gate is quite impressive, with a huge obsidian stone inscribed with the words: Phoenix University of Magic was founded in the year 1266 of the new lunar calendar. There is also a line of small words in the lower right corner: This stone was donated by Rhine Nix, an outstanding alumnus in the year 288 of the new lunar calendar.

On both sides of the gate are two black stone lions, in a sleeping posture.

There are no other security guards or anything, just these two stone lions.

"I'll take you here. If you have anything to ask, you can come to the Knights' headquarters to find me. I'll be leaving now."

Knight Danny said as he took off his helmet.

Unexpectedly, under the helmet was a very handsome face, with blond hair and blue eyes. His expression was majestic without even being angry, like a golden lion.

Danny left. Caesar walked towards the gate of the Magic University. Before he got close, a voice came from the stone lion on the right side of the gate: "The Magic University is on summer vacation. Visitors are not allowed."

"I'm here to apply for a teaching position. Here's my letter of recommendation." Caesar walked forward and took out the letter of recommendation from his bag.

The stone lion on the left got up and opened its eyes. It stretched and looked at Caesar: "Hmm? Show me your letter of recommendation."

These two lions are magical creations, and they look quite smart. Can magic now create artificial life? It is indeed the high technology of the Magic University, oh, not the product of high magic.

Caesar originally thought that his magic was pretty good here, but the first new thing he saw stunned Caesar. Creating life is a realm that only gods can touch.

"Huh? This seal?" Damn it, Caesar actually saw a surprised expression on the face of a stone lion.

"Ugh!" The stone lion made a vomiting sound, but after heaving for a long time, nothing came out.

QQ

It put its paw into its mouth and stirred it around, and after a long time it finally spit out something.

It was a small bead emitting blue light with some stone chips on it. Considering that it was a stone lion, this thing looked particularly disgusting, like saliva.

The two stone lions shouted at the little bead together, "Old woman! The person you are waiting for is here! Come out and meet him!"

After the stone lion on the left finished shouting, it quickly swallowed the stone back into its stomach. From its stomach came a voice that Caesar was quite familiar with. It was Ms. Jessica, the dean of the School of Shaping Magic of this magic university, who invited him to work here.

"Is Caesar here? I'll be there soon! Wait for you at the school gate!" The voice came from the lion's belly and sounded a little dull.

"Well, wait here for a while and find a place to sit." The lion on the right said so, and before he finished speaking, it lay down again.

"Are you an idiot? Are you going to let this dusty gentleman sit on the floor?" The lion on the left started to curse directly, his voice as loud as a rolling stone.

"Come, Mr. Caesar, right?" As it spoke, it adjusted its position on the stone pier it was lying on, moved to the side, and made room for an empty space. "Come, sit here, Mr. Caesar."

It patted the stone pillar with its paw, which was bigger than Caesar's head, and enthusiastically invited Caesar to sit down.
