Chapter 6: Modo Academy!
The impact of the shallow web collapse on Sauron wasn't too great.
However, the impact of the collapse of the faith network on Sauron was very serious, because with the collapse of the faith network, Sauron's workload in giving back to the believers and praying increased several times at once. Sauron's intention to get involved in the [Shadow Net] is not because he wants to establish his own faith network in the future. Otherwise, it is not a good way to collect faith by relying on external forces. Sauron doesn't like to have some things controlled by others, and the power that can be mastered by himself is the most effective.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The research led by the Wizarding Alliance, the Northland Witches Council, the Arendelle Ice Witches, and the City of Mordor is finally starting to bear fruit. Many wizards have mastered some of the spells they are most familiar with through repeated practice casting. And how much strength they can recover in the future depends on their individual natural ability and hard work.
Speaking of which.
After the collapse of the magic web, a good thing happened.
That is, the benchmark for measuring the talent of wizards has appeared, in the past, everyone used the power of the magic net to cast spells, as if a group of students were in the first grade at the same time, and each other's IQ did not have been tested to look similar, at most, some people studied a little better, some people studied a little worse, some people were a little more serious and some were a little lazy. But after the collapse of the magic net, a benchmark for everyone's talent appeared to be directly measured, and all the geniuses in the wizards were immediately distinguished from ordinary people.
These quasi-geniuses or genius-level spellcasters easily memorized spell models and gradually gained the qualifications to become Arcanists.
After the disappearance of the magic web, such geniuses continue to emerge.
At the beginning, everyone used the power of the magic net to cast spells, even if there was a gap in intelligence, the difference was only the number of spell slots mastered and the speed of learning spells, which was not an obvious benchmark. Now the web is gone. Most of the geniuses came to the fore, and these people became the key to the convergence of many forces, and even Modo City had two or three witches born with an intelligence of more than 20 points. All of them had been apprenticed by Golia, who was going to train them to become future Arcanists.
At this time.
In the council chamber of Mordor, Sauron, Goliath, Saruman, the Fallen Witch and others sat together.
"What?"
Goliath was stunned for a moment after hearing Sauron's words, and then muttered, "You mean? Are you ready to start a school in Modo City? Not an aristocratic school? Is it a school that is fully universal? ”
Goliath's voice just fell. The expressions of the other people present were also slightly surprised.
The level of knowledge popularization in this world is very low, and it belongs to the most standard elite education model, and knowledge is always in the hands of the upper echelons of society. Ordinary commoners may have difficulty even reading and writing, and some can barely write their own names throughout their lives, and only the merchants, nobles, and professional classes can master more knowledge. In fact, many children of the common people join the church of the gods because the church also imparts some knowledge to the common people.
"Yes."
Sauron had wanted to do this for a long time, but only now did he feel that the time was ripe. He looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to start a school." ”
"Because of the collapse of the magic web. The number of casters in Modo City suddenly increased. ”
"In the past, there were not so many scholars in Modo City to impart knowledge, but now there are so many wizards in Modo City, even if the strength of many spellcasters is not strong, but the knowledge they have accumulated is a very valuable treasure."
"Modo City needs a lot of talent in the future."
"It's not just people who have the potential to become wizards, but people in all other ways, and I'm going to try a new model, you might call it [assembly line] production. Let ordinary people who are not talented enough master a certain part of a certain kind of work, and make them more proficient through repeated practice. Finally, the whole process is made up of different divisions of labor. ”
Wizards are far more knowledgeable than other professions.
Nowadays, there are many mid- and low-level wizards in Modo City, and their spell-casting ability is less than 30% retained, but the knowledge accumulated in the past has not disappeared.
If you don't use them, will Sauron keep them for nothing?
It doesn't take much trouble, as long as they take turns teaching, even if one person only takes one day in a week. It's enough to teach ordinary people a lot of things.
Alchemy is not all done by spells.
The Magic Net Golem's factory also requires a lot of low-level labor, including polishing the parts of the stone golem, assembling the structure of the golem, arranging rune routes, and so on. These parts can be done by ordinary people, if a production line can be formed. Then the wizard is only responsible for the most important activation and recharge parts.
"I'm not going to run an aristocratic school."
Sauron looked at the others and was still a little puzzled, and slowly explained: "To put it simply! You can think of it as a kind of technical school! All but the simplest part of the literal knowledge is basic, and all other categories are for learning a certain technique. ”
"This kind of school doesn't take too long to specialize."
"It takes a few months to take a few months, or a year or so, and the students in it can master one of the techniques, and then directly enter the various positions in Modo City."
"In this way, even the average family in Modo City can afford it."
Why is the knowledge of the physical plane so low?
To a large extent, it is because the average family cannot afford a labor force to study and cannot bring any income to the family, so knowledge will circulate among the merchant and aristocratic families. All Sauron had to do was shorten the cycle, as the city of Mordor was being built at a rapid pace, and the low-end coolies had been replaced by the golems, and he now needed more skilled labor. In this way, the opening of a technical school has become a very important part, a technical school that controls the learning cycle between half a year and a year, and provides a steady stream of low-end talents who have mastered a certain profession such as water conservancy, forging, engineering, and alchemy for Moduo City.
Even more bluntly.
At present, the city of Mordor no longer needs coolies, and what Sauron needs is workers!
That's right.
It's the workers, the workers, the workers!
The important thing must be said three times, the purpose of Sauron's school is to train workers to meet the needs of a large number of low-end technical workers in the future Floating City.
Speaking of this, Sauron paused, then looked at Saruman in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Regarding the alchemy technology, everyone has seen the results of your research. ”
"So!"
"I will arrange people to do a good job in the specific construction of the school, but you will still be the dean."
"Preliminary plans."
"I'm going to recruit about 3,000 cadets from Modo City, and after graduation, these people will go directly to work in the arsenal, laboratory, and town hall of Modo City."
Goliath is responsible for researching the Floating Tower, the Fallen Witch is focused on the Elemental Furnace, and Alice is responsible for the Golem Factory.
Naturally, it was impossible for Sauron to manage the school himself.
So at present, the only person in Modo City who has the energy to serve as this dean is probably only Saruman, who is only in charge of an alchemy laboratory.
Cultivating workers is only the most basic plan.
If this academy can really be built, Sauron will have more talents to cultivate in the future, and the Career Academy has long been one of his ideas, otherwise there are too many things to consider, and the investment is too large, and he has already begun to lay it out. Some things must be taken into account the current actual situation, and with the residents of Modo City as the standard, the family support to train a skilled worker is already the limit.
No way.
The foundation of the material plane is still too low.
The whole is just the productivity of the late Middle Ages, and if Sauron wants to directly advance to the education model of the modern period, I am afraid that the city of Modo will have to bear a considerable part of the financial expenditure, and it is conservatively estimated that hundreds of thousands of Kindler are indispensable.
At the moment, he just hopes that the results will come soon!
