Camelot, the capital of all nations.
Of course, there is another name here that is more familiar to the people of the Fresta Empire - the Imperial Capital.
This is the political and economic core of the entire Fresta Empire and even the entire Western Continent.
Even if we look at the entire continent, the metropolises that can be compared with Camelot are only a few such as the intellectual city of the Golden Plains and the holy land of the Church.
The steam train let out a long, leisurely whistle.
Then, in the gushing white mist, the checkpoints of the station were opened one by one.
Char mixed in with the crowded crowd and filed out.
In half a year, he had completed most of the tasks within the Resa Administration.
Most of the wanted missions that were relatively valuable and not very time-consuming had been completed by Char, and a lot of material warehouses within the Reza Administration had been moved as well.
...
...
In addition, the historical echoes of the ruins of the ancient country of Cang Ting have been marked, and people can go back and forth at any time from now on, so there is naturally no reason to stay in Resa anymore.
"Should he have dumped her?"
Xia walked out of the station and looked around.
Frankly speaking, Diris is indeed competent as the student union president of Saint Laurent College.
Moreover, her requests to Char were indeed made with good intentions.
For a civilian student who has a talent for beast control but no family support—
Participating in more Saint Laurent College activities and getting connected with the nobility, military, and church in the imperial capital will undoubtedly be of great benefit to your development after graduation.
It is even possible to change your destiny and truly achieve class transition.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
You think you are doing this for my own good, but that may not be the case.
From the beginning, Char knew that his path was different from others.
Compared to going to great lengths to get to know the children of the nobility, attending various banquets and social events, and thereby acquiring so-called connections...
For him, it would be more practical to complete one more part of the novice task.
That's why, ever since Xia joined Saint Laurent Academy.
Apart from systematically reviewing some basic knowledge related to beast taming in the first two semesters, the rest of the time was basically either skipping classes or on the way to skipping classes.
Even when he was in school, he basically spent his time in the big library and the pet training ground.
This time I went to Resa to explore the ruins of the ancient Cang Ting Kingdom, and I skipped classes for half a year.
"It's hard for her."
"I haven't been to school for almost a year. Even my hairstyle and height have changed, but she still recognized me at a glance."
While Char secretly admired the dedication of Chairman Diris, he asked Shanshan to flash intermittently to speed up the journey.
Soon, a magnificent complex of buildings appeared before his eyes.
…
Saint Laurent College is not located in the main urban area of the imperial capital, but in the suburbs.
Not only that, the confidential facilities of the Foresta Empire, such as the Royal Breeding Institute, the Headquarters of the Administrative Bureau, the Military Department, and the Secret Rituals Tower, are almost all located outside the main urban area.
The reason is actually very simple.
After all, no noble would want to be walking along one day when suddenly a Hellfire Lord who has broken free from his soul contract and lost control appears above his head, and then smashes him into a meat pie with a "meteor shower".
Although he had not been back to the academy for more than half a year, thanks to his memory as a quasi-third-ring Beast Tamer, Char would not get lost.
He stopped in front of a single-family house.
According to the rules of Saint Laurent College, students who have reached the second ring, that is, the level of intermediate beastmaster, are eligible to have an independent student dormitory.
For the children of the nobles, they did not have to live in dormitories. Their own noble mansions in the imperial capital were hundreds of times better than dormitories.
So this can be considered a benefit for civilian students, although Char doesn't really use it.
The wooden door of the dormitory was covered with dust because it had not been used for a long time. Xia Ya squatted down and saw that the iron maple leaf that he had stuck in the crack of the door before he left had fallen off.
The iron maple leaf, which should have been as hard as steel, had a tiny silver-white cut on it.
Xia pushed the door open and walked in.
What came into view was a room dyed red by the setting sun, and a girl sitting by the window with her knees hugged, waiting quietly.
The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the window and fell on her fair cheeks, and her long light golden hair reflected light slightly.
Noticing Char's arrival, he jumped down from the bay window and raised the rice ball in his hand.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, thanks to you."
Char took the still warm rice ball without hesitation.
After all, the food provided on the train was always expensive and unpalatable, whether before or after Char's time travel.
"Long time no see, Xiao Ai, how long have you been waiting?"
"My mission at the military headquarters just ended. I rushed here after receiving your message. I didn't have to wait too long."
"That's good."
Char unwrapped the rice ball.
The relationship between him and the blonde girl named Aurora is very complicated.
Not only are they classmates, but they are also childhood sweethearts.
He has lived with Char since he was nine years old, and they did not live separately until he entered Saint Laurent Academy.
At the same time, because Char has been busy with the archaeological excavation of the Cang Ting ruins in recent years, Char's industries in the imperial capital are also managed by Airola.
"Here's some juice, the orange juice you like."
"Thanks."
After finishing his drinks and food in one go, Char lazily lay down on the bed.
Looking at Char's actions, a trace of helplessness appeared on Airola's pale face: "We just got off the train, at least go change clothes first."
"There is an old saying in my hometown that those who achieve great things should not be too particular about small matters."
"So, for the sake of our future great cause, let's sacrifice this quilt."
"We were all born in Ceylon in the north, so why have I never heard of so many famous quotes?" The blonde girl shook her head helplessly.
She took off her woolen boots and sat on the bedside table, swinging her feet wrapped in white stockings in the air. "The Royal Book Society sent over the royalties for the seventh issue last month."
"The share for The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers is seventeen hundred Rhine gold coins."
"During this period, the stores for ornamental pet care and food, cosmetics, and wedding diamond rings have earned a total of 2,500 Rhine gold coins."
“Also, a countess has shown interest in our luxury clothing design business.”
"According to your original valuation, this part of the store and business was transferred for a total of 6,300 Rhine gold coins."
"A little over 10,000 in total?"
Xia lay flat on his back and rubbed his brows, feeling his whole body sinking into the soft bed: "Your main pet is about to advance, so your accumulated merits in the military cannot be touched."
"After deducting the daily expenses for us and our pets, there are only 8,000 Rhine gold coins left."
"Eight thousand pieces... If I remember correctly, according to the price at last year's auction house, eight thousand should only be enough to buy the "Fractured Essence of the Vengeful Flame Soul"."
"The lowest grade of the fourth-tier fire-attribute materials is a bit too shabby to be used on Amaterasu."
"If the money is not enough, I can slow down the advancement of my main pet."
As she spoke, Airola brushed her long hair and moved closer to Char.
"My accumulated merits in the military, if converted into Rhine gold coins, should be around 30,000 or 40,000..."
Aurora's words suddenly paused.
She sniffed gently at Char's collar, and her originally casual tone became a little more serious.
"President Diris?"
