Chapter 439 Little Karami, the Island Nation's Museum Guard Team
Chapter 439 Little Karami, the Island Nation's Museum Guard Team
Led by Wangyue Mingjian, the group entered the West Guardian Pavilion. The environment inside the West Guardian Pavilion was quite nice. In the recessed area between the outer wall and the foundation of the castle was an artificial lake. The artificial lake was irregularly distributed and looked a bit like the moat of ancient China.
The lake water is quite clear, and a wooden walkway has been built over it. After passing through the winding wooden walkway, you will arrive at the lower pavilion of the West Guardian Pavilion!
The West Guardian Pavilion occupies a considerable area and is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The lower pavilion has numerous halls and is as complex as a maze; without a guide, it would be impossible to distinguish one place from another.
Passing through the maze-like corridor and following the steps down to the lower pavilion, you can enter the middle pavilion. The middle pavilion has everything, such as a training ground, meditation room, teaching hall, main hall, magic tool room, forging room, and potion room, all equipped with high-end teaching equipment.
As for the upper pavilion, it contains the military conference hall, watchtower, guard corridor, magic array tower, etc. Except for some important guards and mages guarding the pavilion, no one can enter here.
Led by Mochizuki Meiken, Mochizuki Chika introduced the specific situation of the West Guardian Pavilion to everyone. If Mochizuki Meiken hadn't been following her, she wouldn't have been able to give such a detailed introduction.
"Alright, the next part is the Upper Pavilion. The East Guardian Pavilion opposite is off-limits to visitors." Mochizuki Chika said, leading everyone to stop at the cliff edge near the Middle Pavilion.
Looking at the drawbridges leading to the East Guardian Pavilion on the other side, Mo Fan couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Why doesn't anyone get into such a nice castle? Is there some kind of secret hidden inside?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying it. Besides the West Guardian Pavilion being allocated to Osaka Academy for training mages, it's also a crucial military stronghold overlooking the naval battlefields near Osaka. The East Guardian Pavilion, on the other hand, is an international prison, holding all sorts of criminal mages!" Mochizuki Meiken stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"To prevent the mages and criminals in the East Guardian Pavilion from escaping, the high-ranking officials of the island nation's Ministry of Defense and our Mochizuki family have jointly laid down countless restrictions in the air between the two pavilions. Even a super-level mage wouldn't be able to rescue the criminals inside," Mochizuki Chika said with considerable pride.
Jiang Han naturally knew this. Besides what Wang Yue Qianxun and Wang Yue Mingjian had said, he also knew that the East Guardian Pavilion was the place where the Crimson Demon was born. The Condensed Evil Pearl inside was a treasure comparable to the Soul Pearl, as long as it could purify negative emotions.
"Let Qianxun take you to rest first. I'll have someone inform you when it's time for the banquet," said Wangyue Mingjian.
Then, Mochizuki Chika led Jiang Han and the others to the lounge in the central pavilion. It has to be said that the lounge was decorated no less than the luxury suite in the hotel they stayed in Asuka City.
After Mochizuki Chika left, Mo Fan leaned back on the sofa and asked, "Jiang Han, why is that Japanese girl so temperamental? Aren't Japanese women supposed to be gentle and kind?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's on her period. What, you don't actually like her, do you?" Jiang Han said casually.
"Stop slandering my innocence. I'm determined to remain chaste for Ning Xue." Mo Fan, fearing that Mu Ning Xue might misunderstand his character because of this, immediately distanced himself from the matter.
Seeing Mo Fan and Jiang Han bickering again, the others went about their own business as usual. The girls were organizing their shopping hauls in Osaka, while some of the men were talking about the Japanese women they had met at Nishi-Ku-kaku, such as Zhao Manyan, Guan Yu, and Zu Jiming. As for Jiang Yu and Ai Jiangtu, they were analyzing the strength of their opponents based on their observations of the Osaka Academy they had just met.
······
Before the banquet began, a Japanese man with dyed blonde hair came to inform them. This Japanese man came in and arrogantly asked them if they were there to challenge Osaka Gakuen. He even asked them, feigning curiosity, how many rounds they could last in a fight.
This blond-haired Japanese man practically had arrogance etched on his forehead. Mo Fan was so angry he wanted to fight him, but Jiang Han stopped him, saying with a smile, "Mo Fan, China is a land of civilization and etiquette. If a blond-haired man bites you, you can't bite him back, can you? That would be so undignified."
"You're quick-witted and eloquent. I hope your skills will be as sharp as your tongue when the challenge begins."
"The dinner will be held in the restaurant downstairs. Don't be late, hmph."
The blond-haired Japanese man then snorted and went downstairs and left.
The banquet was held in the Lower Pavilion Restaurant. To show their welcome to the Chinese National Team, many important figures from the West Guardian Pavilion attended the banquet, including the famous swordsman Mochizuki, whom everyone had seen before, as well as the instructors from Osaka Academy and high-ranking officials from the island nation's Guardian Army, who were wearing yellowish-brown Guardian uniforms.
Besides these important figures, the most conspicuous were the group of proud and arrogant students who had never experienced the harsh realities of society. These were outstanding monks selected from various universities in the island nation.
After undergoing special training from the national team's instructors, they were there to stop the national team players from various countries from making their way through the training process.
To participate in the World University Competition in Venice, a country's national team must be recognized by the national pavilions of other countries. Only by gaining recognition from a sufficient number of national pavilions can you prove your eligibility to participate in the final World University Competition.
The guardians of each country's national pavilion are the most outstanding genius mages besides those of the national government team. The Youth Ranking Competition held by various forces within China is actually a competition to select suitable guardians. At the same time, it is also a competition for each academy to showcase the genius students they are cultivating, in order to compete for the cultivation resources allocated by the country to the academy the following year.
Although Jiang Han was unclear about the selection process and the nature of the island nation's national team guards, he was well aware of their strength. They were capable of taking on national teams from smaller countries, but to the Chinese national team, they were just a bunch of small fry.
