To the west of the Great Continents Monster Mountain Range, it is divided into the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance. Among them, the kingdom that leads the Holy Alliance is... the Kingdom of Fenlai!

  Finlay City, the capital of the Kingdom of Finlay.

  Also the Holy See of the Sacred Union, as the headquarters of the Luminary Church is located in West City of Finlay.

  The entire city of Finlay is mainly divided into two parts: East City and West City. The East City is managed by the Kingdom of Finlay, while the West City is managed by the Holy See of Light. Because Finlay City is both the capital and the holy city, its prosperity is unparalleled throughout the entire Yulan continent.

  Fenlai City is extremely vast in size, with a population of over 10 million residents within it. It is also one of the top five super-large cities on the entire Yulan continent.

  In the late afternoon, Lin Lei and Hillman entered Finlay City.

  "Wow."

  Walking on the East City Lord Street Champs-élysées in Finlay City, Lin Lei only felt that his eyes were blinded by flowers. The little Shadow Mouse Bibi was asked by Lin Lei to hide inside his clothes, and Bibi also secretly exposed an eye to look outside. "Squeak, squeak~~" The little Shadow Mouse was also excited beyond measure.

  Fortunately, the entire Champs-élysées was bustling with activity at that moment, and no one noticed the sound.

  "Quiet." Lin Lei immediately patted Xiaoying Mouse lightly, and Xiaoying Mouse cleverly stopped making a sound, but instead told Lin Lei about its excitement through soul communication.

  The entire Champs-élysées is paved with flat cobblestones, allowing several horse-drawn carriages to run side by side. On both sides of the street are hotels, clothing stores, weapon shops, bars and other commercial establishments. At the same time, there are rows of tall and straight fir trees on both sides of the Champs-élysées.

  Noble ladies and young misses, one by one, wearing fashionable clothes, chatting and strolling on the streets.

  Some noblewomen around them saw Lin Leis reaction and couldnt help but snicker at each other, occasionally pointing at Lin Lei. It was clear that Lin Leis reaction was typical of a country bumpkin entering the city, as the nobles in the imperial capital had an innate sense of superiority over country folk.

  "Hmph, no manners." Lin Lei frowned, very dissatisfied with those noblewomens gossip and laughter.

  Having received family education since childhood, Lin Lei suppressed his excitement in the bottom of his heart for just a moment and appeared calm on the surface.

  "Hillman, how is Finlay City? In our Sacred Alliance, Finlay City is the largest city. Hillman and Lin Lei walked along the street, seeing some warriors or occasionally one or two mages passing by, and sighed, "Lin Lei, in Finlay City, strong warriors and mages are very common."

  Lin Lei smiled and nodded: "According to the book, Fenley City is the political center of the Sacred Alliance, economic center, and also the art center."

  "This is a paradise for people with money and status." Hillman nodded in admiration.

  On the bustling Champs-élysées, there were often luxurious carriages passing by. Hillman took Lin Lei to stroll around the main street of Finlay City, "Champs-élysées", and then directly found an ordinary inn to stay in.

  Next to the hotel was a small restaurant where Lin Lei and Hillman had dinner.

  That night, inside the inn.

  Lin Lei and De Lin Ke Wo Te lived in the same room, with two beds inside. As soon as they entered the room, a little mouse Bei Bei jumped out from Lin Leis chest pocket and started circling around him, calling out incessantly.

  "Know youre hungry, eat." Lin Lei threw the whole roasted duck from the restaurant on the ground beside him, and BeiBei immediately started tearing and biting excitedly beside it.

  "Lin Lei, get some rest early, you still have a magic test tomorrow morning." Hillman instructed.

  "Alright, Uncle Hillman." Lin Lei said with his mouth, but he walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.

  The inn had a total of three floors, and Lin Lei and the others were staying on the second floor. The third floor was extremely rare in Wushan Town, but it was very common in Wangdus Fenlai City, where there were even seven or eight-story buildings.

  Looking out of the window, people are still coming and going on the street outside.

  "Ah, its been a long time since Ive seen a big city." A misty glow flew out of the Dragon Ring and transformed into an old man with white hair, Derin Kowert and Lin Lei stood shoulder to shoulder looking at the streets below.

  "Grandpa De Lin." Lin Lei immediately greeted him.

  "Lin Lei, now that youre in a big city, how does it feel?" Deling Kworte asked with a smile.

  "Theres nothing much." Lin Lei said with a pout.

  Dellin Kowert sighed, "Youve only just arrived and you dont understand the big city at all. There are all sorts of luxury consumption venues here, such as large auctions, where some rich people can spend tens of thousands or even millions of gold coins to buy an item."

  "A million gold coins?" Lin Lei felt his throat suddenly dry up.

  Thats a huge sum of money! Even within our own family, we probably cant come up with 100,000 gold coins.

  The wealthy are still numerous, with money, power and beautiful women being fiercely contested. Here, people die every day. In the stinky ditch of Finlay Citys slum, some corpses are often found, and those corpses may be some nobles.

  Dellin Kowert smiled calmly: "However, in order to stand firm in this world, what is needed is ones own strength."

  "Do not hope for others mercy, everything can only rely on yourself." Deling Kowert looked at Lin Lei.

  Lin Leis body contained the Dragon Blood Warrior bloodline, which actually made Lin Lei fond of battle and bloodthirsty.

  "Whoever threatens me, whoever threatens my family, I will kill him." Lin Lei said firmly, having read many books about the rise and fall of families. Lin Lei was very clear that being merciful to enemies is being cruel to oneself.

  If you let your enemy go, they may kill your loved ones.

  "But my current strength is still very weak." Lin Leis heart also recalled the time when he first entered Fen Lai City, some noblewomen looked down on him. In the eyes of those upper-class people, he was just a poor boy from the countryside.

  Lin Lei smiled calmly and sat down on his knees, starting to meditate and train his spiritual power.

  Meditation trains mental strength, which is actually using various methods to consume mental strength until it reaches a baseline, and then recover through sleep!

  In the middle of the chest, in the middle of the lower abdomen.

  A faint yellowish fog is floating in the middle of Dantian, this yellowish fog is the earth element magic power after refinement. According to Delin Kowerts narrative, from first-level magician to sixth-level magician, magic power is all presented in a fog-like state. As the level increases, the quality of magic power will be improved, and the density will increase.

  Upon reaching level 7 as a magician, magical power will condense into liquid form.

  So from 6th-level magician to 7th-level magician is a threshold!

  "Lin Lei, this kid, is actually so diligent, even training his spiritual power at night." Hillman couldnt help but secretly admire him, whether he was a magician or a warrior. Spiritual power was extremely important to them!

  ******

  On the second day, in the morning, on Greenleaf Road in East City of Finlay. Greenleaf Road is also one of the main roads in Finlay City. Most of the buildings along both sides of Greenleaf Road are luxurious mansions, and some belong to the kingdom. Among them, the tallest building - the cathedral of the Church of Light.

  The Holy Alliance of Six Great Kingdoms and Fifteen Principalities is controlled by the Luminous Church.

  The Pope of the Radiant Church holds the highest position, and the Pope has the right to dismiss a king of a kingdom! So even in the eastern city of Finlay, the tallest building is still the cathedral of the Radiant Church.

  This morning, the entrance of the Cathedral of Light was crowded with many people. The majority of those present were nobles dressed in their finest attire. Carriage after carriage filled the vast square in front of the cathedral, as the nobles exchanged pleasantries with one another.

  Lin Lei and Hillman also arrived here at this time.

  "Hillman uncle, there are so many people here today. Many nobles have brought their children along." Lin Lei said with a smile to Hillman, at this time the little Shadow Mouse Bei Bei was also hiding inside Lin Leis clothes, occasionally poking out its small eyes to look around.

  Hillman nodded calmly and smiled: "Nobility? Any magician who graduated from the highest magic academy Ernst Academy can easily become an earl in a kingdom."

  "Earl of the Kingdom?" Lin Lei understood as soon as he heard it.

  Its not that hard to get a noble title in the kingdom, but its much harder to get one in the empire. After all, any of the four major empires can be compared to the entire Holy Alliance, which is far beyond what the Kingdom of Finlay can compare to.

  "Oh, Lord Dole, youve come too?"

  "Heber, I came here, of course, for my son, Hess, to see Uncle Heber."

  Not far away, a group of nobles were chatting with each other. The magic recruitment test, the registration fee alone costs ten gold coins. And once accepted, being admitted to a certain magic academy, the tuition fees are even higher. Generally, magic academies charge hundreds of gold coins in annual tuition! Ordinary families cant afford it at all, but as long as their children are admitted, nobles will naturally sponsor them.

  However, not all magic academies have expensive tuition fees.

  For example, the first magic academy Ernst Academy, because it recruits very few students, as long as they belong to the Holy Alliance, tuition is free! After all, those who can enter Ernst Academy are all geniuses. Their future achievements will be boundless.

  "Hmph, those commoners and country bumpkins are also coming, what a joke?" Some nobles in the distance sneered.

  Among the hundreds of people gathered in the square, there were also some civilians or rural petty aristocrats like Lin Lei. Generally, rural petty aristocrats are also looked down upon. Those nobles in the imperial capital mostly look down on people with pride.

  "Lin Lei, dont bother with them," Hillman said in a low voice.

  Lin Lei looked at the group of nobles and smiled lowly, "Uncle Hillman, I wont bother with those people." After many years of education by his father Hog, Lin Lei still didnt care about those self-conceited capital city nobles.

  The entire square was clearly divided into two circles, one being the noble circle that talked loudly and broadly, and the other being commoners or small nobles from rural areas.

  At this moment, there are two warriors wearing armor standing at the entrance of the church, blocking outsiders from entering.

  After a while, a priest in black robes walked out slowly and stopped at the entrance of the church. Smiling loudly, he said: "Magic test, now begins. The recruitment personnel from various magic academies are also ready. Those who want to take the magic test, please follow me into the hall."
