Since the development of Midi, there has not been such a large-scale stage or auditorium. Large-scale speeches are usually held in open squares in the center of towns. It can be applied to all matters such as government decrees and military parades. But Wulian City is not an ordinary town, but a gathering place built around the magic tower, so when it was realized that it was necessary to retain a square, only a small area was left.
Similarly, the system of the Magicians Association is a collegial system. Although the president is nominally the president, his function is more like the speaker. But when the elected person is strong enough and strong enough, the president will have great power. Because most magicians are impatient to deal with these trivial matters other than magic, everyone is naturally happy to have a powerful leader take over some troubles.
Since it is a collegial system, there is a parliamentary venue. Of course, it is impossible to accommodate all magicians. That is, some highly respected people are qualified to enter the parliament only after they are recommended and approved by the majority of people. Therefore, the forum for a gathering of magicians will not be too large.
And I have seen it before. It is similar to the circular parliament of the ancient Roman republic, with the speaker standing in the center. It looks similar to the Roman Colosseum, but is smaller and has an extra roof. To be clear, the number of people accommodated is not that large. It's bigger than the tavern we borrowed from Lois Magician before, but it's still very difficult to accommodate the number of people we had yesterday.
Simply put, if Lin wants to continue giving lectures, there is no hope of indoor venues. The outdoor open-air venue, the square in Wulian City, is still feasible, but if there are more people, it will not be called a comfortable environment. Considering that I didn’t create the charm of a rock district dance floor, I had to consider the arrangement to be a little looser. As for the manor provided by the president, the situation can only be confirmed by actually seeing it.
With the support of the president, preparations for the college's plan are in full swing.
Since it’s the initial stage, there isn’t much going on. The most difficult part is to obtain the list of magic apprentices who have been brought to the Five City from Shurion. After excluding those who have been admitted as official magicians, the remaining ones have to be found all over the city.
However, it has been more than two years since the foundation of the fund. Since the spread of magic knowledge, it was not until more than a year ago that people began to be recruited to Wulian City. However, among these people, some people still stay in Wulian City, and some people leave. There is no record of who left and who stayed, so we can only search blindly. Furthermore, some people were sanctioned for committing crimes, and seeing the bloody names made Lin feel regretful.
As for the remaining people, some have given up hope and fallen to the bottom of this prosperous city. Some people were still struggling. When Lin appeared and explained his purpose, they could only respond with tears on their faces and could not say a word, which was really sad.
In the end, there were twenty-six people gathered, both men and women. The oldest was already in his twenties, and the youngest was only nine years old. These people are not despised crooked melons and bad dates. After suffering for at least a year and at least a few months, this group of people have strong willpower. Especially the youngest clever ghost, if he didn't have some cleverness, he might have died in a ditch somewhere, and he wouldn't be able to survive now.
However, their common feature is that their magic talents are not great, but they are still better than Lin and the other three masters and apprentices standing in front of them. If they had come from a wealthy businessman or a noble somewhere, and had given some money-grubbing magicians a little money, or promised long-term funding, they might not have ended up in this situation.
But they are just middle-class people and come from poor families. Most magicians are either unwilling to invest their efforts and costs in them, or they are powerless because there are too many people.
Now that Lin has gathered them together again, it may seem that he has just drawn another piece of the pie. At this stage, he can only watch with envy. But they are still determined to win again, instead of being lost in this prosperous city of magicians like their companions who have given up.
But the first thing they did when they gathered together was not to learn magic, but to clean the environment.
After temporarily taking over the right to use the manor from the president, the door number was quietly changed to 'Chengguo Eton College' when no one was paying attention. Although it was not in dilapidation due to minimal care, it would take some work to fully restore it to use. Therefore, the first thing for this group of children is to organize their future learning environment.
In addition to this group of children, a group of people were also found to manage the daily life in the college. Mainly recruiting from the familiar Chamber of Commerce steward Najib, his wife and people he knew. They are all elderly women who may not be able to fight on the battlefield or do hard labor, but they all have rich experience in taking care of others, and they are very good at managing a group of young men.
Furthermore, these children are not here to be uncles, so they have to share the chores in life, including cleaning, washing vegetables, and cooking, but they still need to be managed by the elders. Lin also had a childhood, and he didn't know how many children could live a normal life without their parents around. This doesn’t mean that the children can’t take care of themselves, they just play crazy...
Considering hygiene issues, several bathrooms, men's toilets, and women's toilets have been set up. The president has long agreed that it can be modified at will, and as long as the whole room is not blown up, he will not have to worry about anything else. So Lin quickly ordered the materials and transformed them. Fortunately, the two girls were already familiar with this aspect of decoration, so they shared a lot of work, which made things progress much faster.
However, every time the two girls came back to help in the academy, they would always put on magician shawls and carefully tie two silver tassels. There's no way, those little guys might pretend to be grandsons in front of the magician; but Halumi and Kaya are only thirteen or fourteen years old, so they can't be restrained, especially when most of them are older than the two girls. big. And that nine-year-old clever little ghost refused to accept anyone.
If it weren't for the magic power shown during the construction of the bathroom, the two middle school-aged girls would not have been bullied by the children who were taller than them. This cannot be blamed on these children, who come from the lower class and encounter injustice after coming to Wulian City. They will naturally become jealous of children of the same age or similar age who are well-dressed.
The two girls were not submissive. Especially after knowing that the magic talents of this group of people were higher than theirs, they paid more attention to their appearance as apprentices. Maybe there won't be any offense or ridicule in the language, but he always inadvertently emphasizes the fact that he is already a second-level magic apprentice.
Someone's thoughts on this are: Tsk, a bunch of brats! As for taking control, Lin doesn't want to take too much control. As long as it doesn't escalate into verbal disputes or physical conflicts, having a sense of competition is a good thing.
Secondly, because it took a lot of time to find someone, Lin had to prepare as early as possible for the expected second week of lectures in two days. The garden of the college is quite ideal, with not many tall trees blocking the open space, so after tidying it up, a high platform for lectures was erected, and the preparations came to an end.
The next step is to announce the news, and by the way, I also remind you to bring a p-speak working environment, if you want to try it out on the spot. That is the program that comes with the book, and it comes with the purchase of the tool book. Similarly, you have to bring your own magic stones to copy, and the meager cost does not include expensive magic stones.
Because we need to use whiteboard writing skills outdoors to explain blackboard writing and display some screen images, we cannot do it in an environment with too strong light, so we can only choose to do it at night.
Considering that the college is quite far from Wulian City, it is also night time. Whether you rush here after eating or you wait on an empty stomach to finish listening to the lecture and then go back to eat, it is still an awkward time. So Lin contacted several vendors selling food and drinks and asked them to come to the college to set up stalls.
These vendors were all friends Lin Yu made while hanging out in Wulian City during his apprenticeship. They originally only did business in the market in the morning, and spent their evenings resting or making preparations.
Midi doesn't have the concept of a night market yet, and the places that are lively at night are all places selling skin and meat businesses. What most people call dinner is actually what they eat at dusk. It was Lin who couldn't stand the hunger and had an extra lunch, so dinner was postponed until after nightfall.
The much-anticipated second lecture unfolded in a new place, under the moonlight, amid chaos...
Yes, this scene can be described as chaotic.
Everywhere you looked there were so many heads that no blade of grass was spared. Even the bottom of the pots of food vendors had been dug out, and the monks who couldn't eat were preparing to destroy the stalls. Someone used a makeshift metal drum to broadcast powerfully. If he didn't say a word three times, I'm afraid no one would understand.
In addition, in order to allow everyone to see clearly the content on the screen, the water mirror technique was erected on three sides and overloaded. It was directly enlarged to the limit and the picture was slightly distorted. But the colors of the water mirror screen reflect the moonlight, making it colorful and beautiful...
Is this an appropriate description? No one knows either. He only knew that in his original vision, he should be like the great God Steve Jobs, bathing in the soft moonlight, preaching relaxedly and freely on the stage, and encouraging a group of guys who do not know life and death to join the ranks of programmers.
That graceful demeanor is no longer seen in reality. If this scene were placed on Earth, it would definitely be seen at a rock star-level concert. The people on the stage roared at the top of their lungs, like the lead singer of heavy metal music, roaring at the top of their lungs, sweating profusely, and roaring from the depths of their souls.
Is that all?
of course not!
There was no interruption in the chattering in the audience. Even those who had questions or wanted to cause trouble would just blurt out questions and ask questions loudly without being polite.
This is the first lesson for all programmers, 'hello_world'. Most people haven't typed it yet, and the clock is almost up. So just as Lin was worried in the middle of the lecture, today's session will not end so easily.
By the time the last guest was sent out of the academy, it was already midnight. Not to mention that the person who was giving the lecture was very tired, the group of children who were caught on duty were also shocked by this big scene. Now, there is still a mess waiting to be cleaned up, and everyone is suffering.
