At 9 o'clock in the imperial capital on September 9, Lant arrived at the Gyeonggi Tower with 20 subordinates as promised.
Originally, Lant came here just to have breakfast in the Hall of Thousand Pagodas. After all, it was not 8 o'clock in the morning in Yeqi City. However, when he entered the Hall of Thousand Pagodas, hundreds of magisters had already brought 6 , 700 children were waiting.
Looking at the children in the pit, Lant was a little confused. Originally, he thought that the Imperial School would only send 400 children at most. After all, the tuition of 20 gold coins a month was very expensive, but he underestimated the magic. The mentor family is passionate about high-quality resources.
Lant divided his subordinates into several groups, but these subordinates soon discovered that they did not have much work.
The instructors present brought their own servants to help maintain order and registration. Even before his arrival, the instructors had arranged their numbers in advance on a first-come, first-served basis, prepared forms, and were waiting for his subordinates to take out the equipment. Children can then take the test in sequence.
Shafren Helen, who brought Lant here on Tuesday, walked over with a smile: "How is it? Do you feel the enthusiasm of the high-ranking people in the imperial capital?"
"Yes, you are indeed enthusiastic enough," Lant also nodded. However, after observing for a while, he found that at least 60% of the children tested could reach the level of 8 balls. In other words, these children only need to go to the night Qicheng is almost certain to inspire blood.
"The potential of our children here is quite good!" Looking at such high magic potential, Lant was a little confused.
"Hehe," Shafron said with a smile, "Of course, for every child tested, Teferi and I will charge 1 gold coin. This does not include the cost of the magic crystal used for testing."
Since each family can only bring up to five children, and Lant promised to accept only 400 children, there were more than 130 magister families who signed up.
Every family hopes to test the children's potential in advance. The result is that the Tower of Purity earned at least more than 3,000 gold coins with its two potential testing instruments.
"Lord Lant, I think you should think of some ideas. If these 700 children have good potential, how should we recruit students?" When Shafron was talking, many magisters looked at this place with a look in their eyes. Some hope that Lant would take all the children here with him.
"Our current education level can indeed only accommodate 800 people. It is not only a problem of teachers, but also the hardware in the school is not enough." Now it was Rand's turn to be in a dilemma, "I think there are only two ways, or else first Focus on the older ones, such as those aged 13-14, those who are 12 years old can come next year; the second option is to focus on those with high potential first, and those with low potential to see if there are opportunities later."
"Earl Lant, just tell us what you need there!" Grand Magister Creeland, who was very enthusiastic about Lant last time, said quickly after hearing Lant's words.
"Yes, just tell us what you are lacking there. The Imperial Capital School also has a lot of outdated teaching aids and teaching materials."
Some other magisters shouted, and for a moment, Lant seemed to be surrounded by a messy vegetable market.
"Dear magisters," Lant made a gesture to ask for silence, "for your children to come to my territory to go to school, I should prepare teaching, accommodation, books, and teaching aids. After confirming the cooperation with the Tower of Purity, we will formulate All plans are based on bringing in 800 children. If there are any changes, it will directly affect the current school order."
Lant's words sounded reasonable, but the more important reason was to avoid too many aristocratic children from the imperial capital in the school. After all, he was also afraid that the imperial capital's influence would overreach in the future.
While Lant was still explaining, the imposing young man from last time stood up again and shouted to the scene: "Fellow magisters, let's follow Count Lant's established plan. As for the sequence, we can start from From high potential to low potential, from older to younger, I think everyone has tested their children’s potential and ranked the 6-7 potential children according to their age.”
The young man's words were very effective. After speaking, most of the magisters took 1 or 2 children to the back of the queue to line up.
"Lord Lant, thank you for coming to the Tower of Gyeonggi!" The young man saluted Lant very politely. "I am Adams Appleby, a student of Lord Cromwell Gyeonggi. Lord Cromwell has already Waiting for you in his living room!"
Rant followed Adams up the magic staircase, and after a few minutes of ascent, he finally reached the 50th floor of the Gyeonggi Tower.
Unlike Sherman's "mine"-like partitions, Cromwell's meditation room makes Lant feel extremely spacious.
In the middle of the room is a city model of the Imperial Capital with a radius of nearly 20 meters. The model is embedded deep under the floor and has a whole crystal floor. Walking on it is like walking in the sky of the Imperial Capital.
The roof of the room is a magical structure similar to an astrolabe, so that the starry sky on the roof corresponding to the ground model is always exactly the same as the starry sky in the imperial capital in reality.
Lant was attracted by the city model. He looked close to the glass floor and saw that in the model, there were three towers in the ancient city, the central city and the new city. The proportions seemed larger than in other places. The three towers There seems to be a looming magical light in it.
"Those three towers are the Tower of Gyeonggi, the Tower of Exploration, and the Tower of Purity." Just as Lant was looking at it in fascination, a loud voice behind him sounded, "You have been to both the Tower of Gyeonggi and the Tower of Purity. The Tower of Discovery is the residence of His Majesty the Magical Emperor Douglas.”
Lant looked behind him, and saw a tall man who looked about 40 years old, had an elegant manner, and was smiling and looking at him with admiration.
Adams Appleby quickly introduced: "Earl Lant, this is His Excellency Cromwell Gyeonggi, the guardian of the imperial capital for thousands of years!"
"Salute to you, Your Excellency Cromwell!" In the aristocratic course of the Blue Dragon School, there are contents about the names and taboos of gods and demigods in various places, and the Imperial Prime Minister Metroya Shendu and the Imperial Capital Guardian Cromwell Er Gyeonggi is the two most important demigods in the imperial capital. Cromwell's time as a demigod dates back even before the Ancient Empire.
"I remember two months ago, Your Excellency Metroya told me that the promotion of Queen Tenia can be said to be the most eye-catching event in the past thousand years. Even when the fallen demons were defeated, it was rare to see such an event. There are so many demigods and legends." Cromwell is a very talkative demigod. Starting from Tania's promotion to the grand scene of the thousand towers in the imperial capital, it seemed that thousands of years of history were melting into his mouth. It formed a long scroll and was slowly opened in front of Lant.
Before the ancient empire, the imperial capital was the largest city-state of the human race. Although Longya City had always hoped to compete with the imperial capital, it gave up because the legendary dragons on Red Dragon Rock were obsessed with gold coins and literature.
Until the middle of the ancient empire, the Magic Emperor Douglas established the Imperial Capital Magic School and became the True God after building the Tower of Exploration. The city also developed around the magic school into its current central city, where the Grand Council, the Treasury, and the Ancient Empire Palace are all located. The hub area between the ancient city and the central city.
