Soul of Burning Steel

However, Joshua's straightforward agreement made Israel feel uncomfortable.

"You know what, Mr. Radcliffe, a man like you is queer, very queer..."

Israel withdrew his hand with a complex expression. He stared at the soldier's face as if there was something on it. His Majesty the Emperor frowned, and said in a somewhat inconceivable tone: "No one would agree to such a big event so straightforwardly. This will make people feel very childish - I believe you are serious, and Teacher Nostradamus once said that you are indeed such a person, but."

After a pause, Israel couldn't see anything from Joshua's face. He sighed, turned and walked towards another palace, saying intermittently, "Even I would hesitate to think about it."

"I have been thinking about it for more than ten years, and I am sure that my body has recovered before I can make up my mind."

"You are such an extremely weird guy, Joshua. I was even prepared for you to delay for a few years, but who knew you gave an answer on the spot."

But the soldier just shrugged his shoulders. This should be a matter of values. There are new events and plot chains that are not activated. This kind of thing is really weird, and there is no hesitation in making a mere decision. .

The conversation between the two did not take long, but the cheers of the crowd could already be heard from outside the Morlaix Palace, which was the proof that the sacrificial ceremony of the Spring Festival was over. However, the people who really cheered for the celebration were not Most of the people were shouting the name of the third legend of the empire, Master Nostradamus.

Three legends!

These are three legends!

Looking at the entire continent, in the past few decades, only nine legends have appeared in front of people's vision.

[Natural Mentor Eidriel Gallanord] of the elves, the leader of the dwarves of the Molten Steel Fort [Flo Ironfinger], the Church of the Seven Gods [Pope Saint Igor], the Far East Sea [Cang Haixian] Faina], the fourth seat of the White Tower of Guantian, and the current leader of the White Tower of Guantian [Barbarossa the Master of Elements], two chic legends wandering around the entire continent [Baniel the Rune Master] Together with [William the Mind Master], the Xishan Holy Sword Maker family, [Lamotte Ternan, the Sword of Silver Oak], and the Emperor [Israel the Sky Dragonrider], these nine powerhouses are the most recent ones. The more active saga for decades.

Of course, it is impossible for the entire Mycroft Continent to have only such nine legends. Everyone knows that the Far South Kingdom enshrines a reclusive legend, and the Business Alliance also raises a legendary dragon blood whale, let alone the dragon clan. , there are three legendary dragons in the five-color dragon alone, so instead of fighting against each other for many years, the metal dragon that has only recently been weaker must have several legendary dragon kings. As for the legendary monsters, they are raging in the central black forest. The strong who explored that mysterious land were all forced back by the endless emergence of powerful monsters, but there is no doubt that most of these legends are not well-known, far inferior to the previous nine.

But now, the empire has two more legends!

Joshua van Radcliffe, the Earl of the Northland, is too young and has no known abilities and achievements, so he has no special recognized title for the time being—although some people have privately used the title of extermination lord Calling warriors, but not yet recognized by the masses.

But Master Nostradamus is different. After all, he is an ultimate mage who has been famous for decades. Many people speculated that he would become a legend almost a dozen years ago, but now it is just to let everyone The guess came true, so the voice was extra enthusiastic.

"The reform you are talking about should be to open a large number of professional schools in the empire to absorb the geniuses among the common people, so that those with talents cannot be cultivated."

While walking, Joshua casually said his opinion to Israel: "This idea is indeed very good, but there are many problems that need to be solved, and it will bring a lot of trouble, but generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It only takes a moment to analyze this thing, why should I hesitate?"

Soldiers are very familiar with the concept of everyone being extraordinary that Israel mentioned, because in the previous life, the successor of His Majesty the Emperor, who is now the second prince, the Jagged Emperor Demol Diamond invaded in the abyss, This concept was fully implemented when the mainland was in endless flames of war. Although it seems that Di Moore probably inherited this idea from his father or Nostradamus, at that time, this concept shocked the whole world .

Because of the invasion of the abyss, countless scattered nobles and small forces were wiped out by the demons that swept across the entire continent. Countless inheritances were left behind, but lost their heirs. In order not to let these precious inheritances disappear, and because the empire had no power at that time To recapture the occupied areas one by one, so Di Moore at that time ordered to spread all the legacy and various practice methods owned by the royal family to the whole world, so that all survivors could have the possibility of practice, and also gave them the power to save themselves .

At the same time, in order to make up for the large number of professionals lost by the Empire during the Abyss War, Di Moore also issued a decree that all children over the age of six in the areas still controlled by the Empire must enter the militarized Professional Academy for three years of teaching, and then every The students who have completed each teaching must be sent to the corresponding training camp according to their talents, and they will have different training and actual combat time. After the training, they will be a warrior or spellcaster who can barely go to the battlefield to deal with the devil's miscellaneous soldiers. It was also thanks to the post-Magic Tide environment at that time, and the training speed of low-level professionals was extremely fast, otherwise the Mycroft mainland civilization would really not be able to accept that kind of blood loss speed.

But Di Moore was in wartime at that time. In order to defeat the abyss, both the nobles and the mages who regarded inheriting knowledge as life could barely grit their teeth and share their practice methods with those civilians who they looked down upon completely, because life and Only when the threat of genocide is threatened, they will temporarily give up their reservations about their identity.

But now, what Israel has to do is to promote the career academy open to commoners on a large scale in a relatively peaceful period when the nobles still have territories and power, vigorously cultivate commoner geniuses, and make the nobles more powerful than the powerful. Breaking the monopoly of power—to put it mildly, it’s smashing people’s jobs; to put it in a big way, it’s destroying the nobles, and even the foundation of Israel’s own rule.

Seriously, it was the first time Joshua had seen an emperor say he wanted a revolution—no kidding, it sounded like suicide.

"There are indeed many problems."

Israel knew that there were many problems in his mind that needed to be solved, but he didn't care. He just said slowly: "During the war, I often encountered some people who were obviously very talented, but couldn't dig themselves because of inheritance problems. Potential soldiers and knights, their will, body, talents and talents are no less than those of my officers, but it is the practice method that blocks their progress, so that they can only stay in silver or even black iron. point."

The emperor's voice was full of regret: "But the orcs at that time had already achieved popularization of inheritance. Compared with ordinary orcs, the orc rulers had a little more practice and inheritance of special bloodlines. Everything else was the same as that of ordinary orcs. Similarly, it is precisely because of this that the orcs have been able to entangle the entire empire for hundreds of years with the power of a few large tribes. During the period, there were certainly reasons for other imperial nobles to hold back, but this is particularly important."

"At that time, I was thinking, if those knights who can't tap their own potential have corresponding inheritance, then why should the empire not be able to exterminate the orcs, and why spend a lot of national power year after year in a tug-of-war with these beasts? This is really too wasteful and too unfortunate.”

"Of course." The conversation changed, and Israel began to examine his own thoughts, mercilessly pointing out the loopholes: "Although the teacher opened the Winter Castle College in the Northland, it has proved that common people are no less educated than noble students. , some people's talents are even exceptionally good, but this does not mean that they can be promoted on a large scale-funds are the most important issue, followed by magic resources. It takes a lot of money to build a school and train a professional Money and related resources, if they want to learn to fight, they need more actual combat trials. Even if they don’t popularize the supernatural way, just popularize culture and make the entire empire free of illiteracy, it will take a hundred years and countless money Huge project, not to mention our goal is even bigger than that."

Joshua nodded when he heard the words. It seems that Israel did not prepare to popularize the supernatural way out of enthusiasm on a whim. He had indeed thought about these issues.

In fact, if it weren't for the great demon tide, the Mycroft Continent would not have the conditions to popularize extraordinary power at all. Firstly, there is not so much money, and secondly, there is the problem of the concentration of magic power.

Before the Great Demon Tide, if Joshua was allowed to breathe seriously and absorb the free energy around him, then within a few seconds, the energy concentration in the entire Moldavia would drop by three levels. Professionals below the first level can only enjoy the treatment of the Dharma-ending Era in advance. This is a legend. Thousands of silver and gold-level professionals absorb the free energy around them at the same time, and can also directly drain the magic power in the surrounding atmosphere. Without free energy, many spells will be greatly reduced in power.

The same is true for a professional college. If it trains dozens of students at most before the big demon tide, if there are more, the concentration of magic power in the college will not be able to play a role in guiding the training.

Only the world after the Great Demonic Tide can support larger-scale supernatural power battles and larger-scale student training.

"So I plan to first select some cities in the imperial capital, the eastern provinces, the southern fortress and other places for pilot projects. I will also provide a sum of funds from the royal family to the Winterhold College in the Northland. We are legendary powerhouses and have enough Time to wait slowly, experiment slowly, and slowly determine whether our ideas are correct."

Israel's attitude at this time was very optimistic, and he said relaxedly: "Of course there will be resistance from some nobles or small forces, but it is harmless, and I also have other plans to deal with it - after all, there is time, we can slowly Perfect plan."

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but shook his head in his heart. His Majesty's thoughts were indeed right, but he didn't know that the abyss would invade this world in twenty years, and he simply didn't have time to wait. experiment.

But for Israel, who didn't know the plans of the abyssal demons in the future, his idea was indeed not wrong. He had just wiped out the orcs, and the dragon disaster was over. With so much magical power and possibilities, he also healed his own hidden wounds, and there will be no future troubles. The empire is in a period of rapid and stable development after the war. His Majesty the Emperor can even consume this generation of stubborn old nobles with his lifespan alone. Such a perfect Conditions, Israel is indeed qualified to be optimistic.

But then again, the warrior thought this way—the Mycroft Continent has regained the initial fire, so will the demons invade according to the original plan? He has changed too much the trajectory of the world's destiny. If the world line deviates, at least more than 1, those chaotic monsters may really choose another target because of this.

Didn't know that an old demon friend had already passed through the summoning circle of Xishan, barely squeezed in from the seal of the abyss, and was inquiring for news. Joshua, who was planning to go to the Northland, heard about it before he had time to continue thinking about it. Israel suddenly lowered his voice.

"Mr. Radcliffe."

At this time, the two were already standing at the entrance of the main hall. Since the celebration and sacrifice had ended, there was no one coming and going here, so His Majesty the Emperor stopped here and said in an unusually serious tone: "What do you think, my How are the children?"

"How? They're all okay, most of them are above the average person."

Instinctively evaluated according to the thoughts in his heart, Joshua felt that what he said was very objective. Except for the second prince Di Moore and the youngest seventh prince who were a little bit interesting, the other princes and daughters were not bad. Not to be amazingly talented, but judging from his words and deeds, his EQ and IQ are excellent, and the royal family's education is indeed good. Even the fourth prince, who seems to be the most mediocre, can be seen by soldiers as hiding his clumsiness.

"So, if you had to choose one as your disciple, which one would you choose?"

Israel seemed to be careless—in fact, even a fool could guess his thoughts—and said, "Of course, I just asked."

Having said so much before, it turns out that you are here waiting for me. Joshua shook his head with a smile. He could also understand His Majesty's thoughts, and it was not surprising that Israel had such thoughts.

Not to mention that the warrior himself is now a legend, and he already has his own way of inheritance. It is more than enough to be a teacher to the royal heirs. Just to strengthen his relationship with the royal family, Israel will definitely try this This is the most common method—the reason for not directly sending an imperial daughter over is because women in the empire also have the right to inherit the throne. Israel himself also attaches great importance to his children's right to choose a marriage partner, but parents hire their children teachers Then there are not so many things. If Joshua agrees, which prince would dare to refuse? Would he refuse?

"I won't accept disciples directly because of your face."

Joshua said: "They must pass my inspection—the knowledge level must pass the test."

The soldier thought of the students who were still cramming for knowledge at the College of Winterhold, and these little guys who had received his inheritance hadn't started yet. Joshua couldn't help showing a smile.

In any case, he is also a person from the civilization of the Great Cosmos Era, and his basic knowledge level is definitely higher than that of the natives of the Mycroft Continent. What the Titan six-element breathing method requires is to coordinate the stability of the six major elements, and in energy Coordination requires a huge amount of knowledge reserves, and you must also have basic knowledge of the microcosm. The Edman alloy body refining technique sounds simple, but actually requires a very detailed understanding of the properties of metal materials. It requires a solid foundation in materials science, biology There must also be a certain reserve of knowledge, and the fusion of Jieyan and Zhengfa is about nuclear fission and magnetic field constraints. Ordinary people can’t play at all, let alone wave-particle duality, relativity and even the ripple concept of the worlds of quantum mechanics. After thinking about it, if it wasn't for Amira's talent, he wouldn't have taught her.

Want to be his disciple? Hahahaha, at least one or two years of related subjects must be studied hard! His strength is full of wisdom!

But Israel, who didn't know this, waved his hand confidently, taking the soldier's words as agreement—His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: "Don't talk about these trivial matters, Mr. Radcliffe, wait a moment." After Mr. Nostradamus came, I have another big discovery to tell you."

"—You will never guess what the teacher and I have found through the observation of the magic circle at the Void Star Observatory these days."

4600 words, continue to ask for the monthly pass at the beginning of the month, and correct the typos later.

Israel intends to spend decades or even hundreds of generations to complete this plan, and it is only a rough idea at present.
