“Captain Hudders, is there any difference among the three magic academies?” asked Meng Lei.
“There are always differences in everything, be it people’s statuses or even a tree’s circumference. Magic academies are naturally also divided into different classes. Take these three magic academies in our Fire Dragon Capital City, for example!”
Captain Hudders smiled and gave them an introduction of the academies. He believed that Meng Lei possessed magic talent and would definitely be able to enroll in and study in a magic academy. The key here was which magic academy he should choose!
Thus, there was a need to give him a thorough introduction!
“Fire Dragon Magic Academy is the best magic academy among the three. Set up in the Fire Dragon Kingdom’s name, it is the kingdom’s official magic academy. In other words, the national magic academy!
“Due to its background as an official academy, Fire Dragon Magic Academy’s teachers have very strong and solid qualifications. With a complete range of facilities and the best cultivation resources, the Magicians that they groom and nurture are the most outstanding!
“Thus, Fire Dragon Magic Academy fully deserves the title of the top magic academy in our Fire Dragon Kingdom!”
Captain Hudders gave Meng Lei a meaningful look at this point, and added, “Thus, Fire Dragon Magic Academy is naturally also the first choice for magic geniuses with exceptionally great talent!
“Be it Drakes or humans, as long as they have exceptionally good talent and can meet the requirements, everyone is qualified to enroll in Fire Dragon Magic Academy to study. In this aspect, we humans and the Dragon People are equal in status!”
“I see!”
Meng Lei nodded quietly, a brilliant glint at the bottom of his eyes!
“In comparison, the remaining two magic academies are slightly inferior!”
Captain Hudders went on and said, “Dragon People Magic Academy mainly caters to Dragon People with mediocre magic talent. Of course, there are also some human nobility descendants with mediocre magic talent there. As for Douglas Magic Academy, it mainly recruits human commoners with mediocre magic talent, and is considered a commoner academy.”
Fire Dragon Magic Academy!
Dragon People Magic Academy!
Douglas Magic Academy!
I didn’t think that schools would also be divided into the elite and the ordinary in this alternate world!
Meng Lei shook his head lightly and walked on ahead. And as he had put it, weren’t the three magic academies precisely an elite school and ordinary schools?!
Gradually, more and more pedestrians appeared along the path. Most of them were in combinations such as two adults and a child, or a family with a few members. Additionally, most of them were nervous and uneasy. Evidently, they were also people here to take part in the magic assessment!
Meng Lei’s group followed the crowd and quickly arrived at the place where the magic assessment was held—Fire Dragon Square!
Fire Dragon Square was a large public square occupying an area that could fit a few soccer fields. In the center of the square stood a 100-meters tall Golden Colossal Dragon statue!
Its golden dragon scales were vivid, as though they were alive!
Its dragon wings spread wide, covering and blocking the sky!
Its dragon mouth was wide open as it roared into the sky!
Its dragon horns were ferocious and savage, and pierced through the heavens!
A domineering and imposing aura assaulted their senses. They could feel it even from a great distance away. It induced a sense of submission in people, such that they couldn’t conceive any thoughts of resistance at all!
“Praise be to the Dragon God!”
Upon seeing the Golden Colossal Dragon statue, Captain Hudders pressed his hands against his chest, bent over into a bow, and said a pious prayer, which stunned Meng Lei and the other three children.
“Uncle Hudders, what are you doing?”
The bubbly Jonah gave voice to the puzzlement in her mind. Captain Hudders received a shock, and hastily covered her mouth as he looked left and right. When he saw that no one had noticed, he let out a breath of relief, lowered his voice, and said, “This is the great Dragon God statue. You must salute whenever you see it! The four of you, hurry and salute the Dragon God!”
The Dragon God statue?
One must salute when they see it?
It was only then that Meng Lei discovered that it wasn’t just Captain Hudders. Without any exception, all the other pedestrians around them had also saluted piously upon seeing the Dragon God statue!
“Dragon God?”
Meng Lei’s brows drew together.
“The Dragon God is the Dragon God Empire’s founding emperor, and is also the one and only religion!” Captain Hudders said in a hushed voice, “All of the empire’s citizens must believe in the great Dragon God. Those who do not believe in it are considered heathens. If you don’t wish to be burned at the stake, then hurry and salute!”
What the hell!
Meng Lei got a shock and hastily made a show of saluting. How could one not bow to their circumstances when they were under someone else’s roof? He was still very weak right now, so he’d better act according to the others’ rules instead!
“Praise be to the Dragon God!”
Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew also saluted respectfully.
“Great!”
Captain Hudders breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he pointed to the front and said, “That’s where the magic assessment will be held. Let’s hurry over!”
“Alright!”
Fire Dragon Square was very crowded and packed with people. There were many nobles dressed fastidiously, as well as commoners dressed in coarse sackcloth. However, what attracted Meng Lei’s attention the most was still... the Drakes!
Drakes were categorized into Dragon People and Dragon Beasts.
Dragon Beasts were the descendants of Colossal Dragons and Magical Beasts and looked almost no different from wild Magical Beasts. There were Dragon-Wolves that looked like giant wolves, Dragon-Rhinos that looked like rhinoceroses, and earthworms that looked like crocodiles...
There was a rich
