Lynn's tribe was located in the northeastern part of the mainland. In this region, the landscape was made up of a number of rivers and grasslands. So because of this development, there were very few large-scale forests like the Great Ruins. Only near the coast, because of the mountains, were there more forests.

This special environment had caused the human race and the antherions to seldomly operate in the eastern region, so this region was most suitable for animal growth, and it had formed the habitats of many human tribes that depended on hunting.

Myria was located in the north of the continent, at the junction of the hot and the cold zones of the continent. The four seasons of the year here were distinct in nature. There were unlimited amount of flowers in spring, fruits in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. There were different fun places throughout the year.

The city of Myria covered a very large area, with a length and width of more than ten kilometers. It was formed in the shape of a square. Due to the long city wall, there was a city gate every two kilometers or so on each side of the city wall to facilitate people's entries and exits, into and out of the city.

Among all the cities in the northern region, Myria was said to be the largest and most famous city. The main reason why it was famous was because in this city, there were the only ten Saints in the whole continent, and one of them was in the Profound Academy.

Because of the protection gained from this academy, the antherions rarely dared to come to the surrounding areas of this city to cause mayhem. According to rumors, in the Profound Academy, there were other powerful conveyors with high levels of strength, guarding it. Which antherions, without any foresight, dared to run wild here?

Due to the reputation and status of Profound Academy in Myria, it did not only occupied the best central location in the city, but also had a very impressive architectural style in a grand scale. It covered a vast area, occupying almost one-third of the entire Myria.

The residents, business stores, and other buildings in the city were all built around Profound Academy. The academy was surrounded by the entire city.

In front of the gate of the academy, there were two students in uniform, who were about fourteen or fifteen years old. The silver-white brocade uniform was layered with a blue-black pattern of an ancient bird. According to legend, this was the pattern of the familiar of the first grandmaster when the academy was founded.

At this moment in time, there were more than a dozen students in the lower classes wearing the same academic uniforms cleaning the area of the gate. The two students in the upper class looked at the gate and directed the group of junior students to clean the corners.

Lynn walked over from the wide square outside the academy. He was wearing a coarse set of clothes, and his pair of shoes were covered in dust. Although he looked like he was coming from a long distance, his face was full of excitement.

He walked to the front of the academy, and just as he was about to speak, a taller student shouted. "Hey, where do you think you're going? This is not a place to play around. Why don't you go home to your parents before they start looking for you?"

Lynn didn't look offended when he heard the words. He greeted the two senior students standing by the gate, with a smile on his face, and said. "Hello, seniors. I'm Lynn, and I'm here to study."

"Study?" The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. "Do you think people can just show up at anytime and enter the academy to study?"

"You have to be accepted first. And it's been two months since the start of the new academic session, and you're saying you're here to study? If you want to study, you should sign up earlier next year."

Lynn knew that what they said was reasonable, but he didn't know where else to go. "Is there any way you can help me?"

Hearing this, the two senior students glanced at Lynn with a serious expression. Looking at what he was wearing, they guessed he might be a wild boy from the countryside who didn't even pay attention to his own appearance. Moved with pity, one of the senior students asked. "Do you really want to study?"

Lynn quickly cupped his hands and answered. "Yes, seniors. I'll be glad if you can help me out."

Another student grinned and said. "You have to give us something for it first?"

When Lynn heard this, he took out two essence crystals from his storage space and handed them over. He knew that these third-level essence crystals could make an ordinary family survive for more than half a year, but not many were left on him. After the antherions demolished his tribe, they basically cart away all the essence crystals accumulated by his tribe.

Although these essence crystals were of no use to the antherions, under Harbonok's order, the antherions took away all the essence crystals they found in addition to taking away enough human carcasses to serve as food for them.

Therefore, when finally counting the remaining items in the clan, just a small amount of essence crystals was found, and Lynn only took a small amount to cover his travel expenses, and the rest was handed over to his clansmen.

So, together with other essence crystals that he had stored by himself before, Lynn did not bring many in total. In the past two months, he had spent nearly half of his assets on the road.

The two senior students took the essence crystal and looked at it, and a crooked smile appeared on their faces. They raised their hands and put the essence crystals into their pockets.

After that, the taller student said in a quick tone. "Lynn, right? It's good that you happened to meet us. You see, although this academy is closed for admission, there's a small branch of our academy that can accept you."

"A branch?" Lynn thought for a while, and said in his heart. Well, it's still part of the academy. So, he asked. "Seniors, please where is this branch?"

The tall student pointed to the east of the academy and said, "It's not too far away. Keep walking along the wall of the academy, and when you exit the east gate, you can see a mountain on the right, outside the city called Fairland Mountain. There is only one building at the foot of the mountain. That's where the branch is located. It's easy to find at a glance."

Lynn squinted his eyes to stare at the east, but realized he was too far away from the city gate to even see the shadow of the mountain. So after thanking the two seniors students, he walked towards the East City Gate.
