Chapter 05 (Part One)
Pushing the door open, he saw a beautiful elven sorceress. Although he had memories of the astonishing beauty of elves, seeing one in person was still breathtaking. Her skin was like snow, her features exquisite, with pointed ears and emerald green eyes. However, he soon keenly sensed the immense power hidden within her.
"My name is Anien, and I have a special letter of recommendation. Could you please deliver it to Miss Karenli?" Along with the letter, there was a coin gleaming with golden light. The guard glanced at the letter of recommendation and accepted the coin: "Please wait a moment, I will deliver it to Miss Karenli."
"Sir, entry is not permitted here without authorization." There is a small door beside the main gate, but the guard politely stepped forward to block the way—this courtesy was already indicative of his decent attire, distinguishing him from ordinary citizens or adventurers: "If you wish to become a magic apprentice, please return on the open day, the 20th of this month."
Thank you for your guidance. Anien then gave another gold coin and asked, "What is your name?"
Before long, the guard came out, his face beaming with a smile: "Mr. Anien, please come in, I will take you to Miss Kanlunli."
However, this amount of money did not concern Anien. Although the crude processing reduced the two hundred pounds of brown sugar to only one hundred fifty pounds of snow sugar, this snow sugar, pure white and with an authentic taste, surprisingly sold for nine times the price in the city of *Tu* *Shu* *Bu* Deep City. As a result, his wealth suddenly increased to over ten thousand gold coins, which weighed even up to 50 kilograms. Naturally, he could only store them in a spatial bag he purchased at the temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, Danni. It is said that this spatial bag can hold up to 150 kilograms and has a volume of 1 cubic meter.
"Are you Anien Fenokashu?" Kalenli asked calmly, "The son of Daisiya?"
"Young Master, the Moonlight Academy has arrived. Should I wait for you outside?" The coachman's voice interrupted his thoughts, as the Moonlight Academy does not permit such carriages to enter.
Has it finally arrived? Anien jumped down from the carriage. It took a long eleven days to travel from Buxin City to here, crossing the tranquil hills, and only at noon on the eighth day of the Month of Planting did they arrive at Moon City
However, there is one very good aspect of this world, which is that it is filled with the breath of nature, with flowers, plants, trees, mountains, and rivers everywhere. Moreover, due to the loss of the prospects of mechanical technology, the future will certainly not face the consequences of severe environmental destruction
With such a high net worth, this small amount of money is certainly not a concern. Speaking of which, renting a carriage for one day costs 3 silver coins, and the journey takes eleven days. Adding the expenses for lodging and food along the way, it has only amounted to 5 gold coins so far, which can be considered quite inexpensive compared to the * map * and * book *.
Upon entering the academy, one is greeted by patches of woods, lakes, and various small buildings. The guards warmly introduce the surroundings, revealing that each small building serves as a wizard's laboratory and a place for apprentices to study. There are only eight tall structures, the first being six enormous wizard towers: Light, Darkness, Wind, Fire, Earth, and Water. The energies concentrated in these six towers resonate with one another, resulting in a magical density within the academy that is far stronger than in ordinary environments, which is essential for the study of magic.

He was deeply impressed by the emblem of Moon City, carved into the stone wall that stands fifteen meters high—a crescent moon and a new star set against a blue background. The crescent moon undoubtedly represents the great moon and the goddess of the magical web, Mengqimeisi, while the new star represents Iniya, the closest being to a demigod in this world.
In addition to the six Mage Towers, there is the Grand Library and the headquarters of the Mage Guild, which is also the headquarters of the Academy
No need. He casually tossed four silver coins to him, the payment has been made, and this is the tip. Anien jumped down from the carriage, and the first thing he saw was a large gate, separated from the ordinary person's view by a two-meter-high stone wall, and on the stone wall, the faint presence of magical power was discernible
Young master, this young master, we have arrived at Moon City. Shall we go in? The coachman from the rented carriage turned his head back to remind us.
This world is permeated with immense energy, and it can even be said that the very matter of this world is a combination of energy. Moreover, compared to the originally solid atomic and molecular structures of the universe, the matter in this world can easily transform into energy
Anien gazed at the crystal-clear Ruisha River, with Moon City situated on the northern bank of the river, its walls curving into a semicircle along the water. The first sight to behold was the arch bridge spanning the Ruisha River—the Crescent Bridge
The coachman responded loudly, allowing Anien to board the carriage once more. After a short while, the carriage passed through the tax checkpoint and onto the bridge, officially entering the area of Moon City
Upon reaching a room on the first floor of the wizard's headquarters, the guard informed him: "Mr. Anien, Miss Kerenli is inside."
Annie looked out at the city from the window with excitement. For a city, a little over one hundred years is not a long time; it can even be considered a burgeoning city. However, this city is well-planned, having recognized the harmony between nature and urban development from the very beginning. As a result, there are trees and stone buildings everywhere. The transplanted and preserved ancient oak trees can stand tall alongside the stone walls. Most of the roads in the city are paved with cobblestones, flanked by tree-shaded sidewalks and pathways for pedestrians. Houses, balconies, and spiral staircases are found throughout the streets, with window sills, railings, and columns adorned with flowers and plants growing in decorative bowls.
Miss Kerenli, greetings to you. He immediately performed a graceful bow.
The differences in these cosmic laws render most of the technological data within the H-3553 type biochemical intelligence brain ineffective. Therefore, even if the experiment is successful, it would be impossible to establish a large technological base here, making it even more difficult to replicate Earth’s civilization
My name is Reza, you are truly too kind. The guard Reza's face was beaming with joy; he was just an ordinary soldier, and his status was certainly far inferior. He felt somewhat flattered, especially since the tip was nearly half a month's salary for him.
Go ahead! Anien said, having had experience in Bushen City, how could he not know the tricks of this coachman— the city gate charges every individual two copper coins, but for a carriage, it charges twenty copper coins. If Anien were to enter directly, the payment would naturally fall on him, while the coachman could conduct some business in the city, with a validity period of three days
The horse-drawn carriage rolled over the cobblestone road, and the horse immediately felt much more at ease. The driver was quite concerned for this horse, for it was a tool for survival. He would rather go without good living conditions and food himself than ensure that the horse had the best possible food and shelter, as it directly affected the livelihood of his entire family.
And magic is the technology and power of this world, which immediately compelled him to resolve to learn magic
In recent days, due to his instinctive sensitivity to energy and basic detection, he increasingly feels that this is a completely different universe. Although the physical forms on the surface are the same as those in the original universe, the essence of matter is certainly no longer atomic or molecular, but rather a small structure referred to as elements
Yes, Anien replied. Daisya is his elven mother, and he thought to himself that the legends say elves are usually aloof and difficult to move emotionally, which seems to be true, as he took out a green leaf from his hand
To be honest, if one solely wishes to learn magic, Buxin City is also a very good location. However, in terms of relationships and convenience, Moonlight City is more suitable.
Even his original cultivation methods have mostly become ineffective, which can only indicate a difference in the laws of the universe—this is the reason he is certain he has arrived in a different universe, as the laws of a single universe are fundamentally the same, and such changes cannot occur.
This magnificent arch bridge left him astonished; in a world where basic craftsmanship is so underdeveloped, it is hard to fathom how much manpower and resources must have been expended to create such an impressive stone structure. At this end of the Crescent Bridge, a small squad of soldiers is patrolling and collecting tolls from everyone entering the city
