Chapter 234: Everything is ready (first update, ask for subscription)
Chapter 234
It takes a lot of resources to raise a witch, that's the consensus of everyone. On TV, it was even shown that in order to maintain the magic pool on Sunnid Island, several students were turned into electric eels and thrown into the magic pool. Obviously, because humans are not the creators of this island, they are even more unable to maintain it.
Humans have the magical talent of elves, and they cannot directly manipulate chaotic energy. So in magic, it's all a turn. This makes it impossible to fully grasp the magical architecture of these elves.
Because the Witch Academy has always maintained a kind of cold independence. At the same time, under the guidance of various public opinions, this makes them not receive much assistance from Temeria. Most of the time, it is the students who collect and cultivate some magical resources by themselves. Think about it, and know how tight the resources of the entire academy will be in this way. It's not that the college doesn't want to expand enrollment, but it doesn't have the money at all and can't afford to cultivate it.
But now it's different, there is a strong state that is ready to use state resources to sponsor schools. And the price is that they want naming rights, as well as subsidiary rights. For most wizards, they don't really care which country the academy belongs to, what they care about is whether their share of various magical resources has increased.
There are also a few die-hard wizards who do not approve of this reform. They want to be able to maintain their independence. But it is clear that in the face of the general trend of history, it is simply unstoppable. For the sake of stability within the academy, Margarita proposed the need for a certain buffer time. Su Yuan agreed.
Now that the money has been collected, some things have to be done. The first request put forward by Su Yuan was to reform the enrollment system of the college.
"Starting today, the enrollment model of the academy will change from human girls to women of all intelligent races. Whether it is elves, dwarves, gnomes, or dryads, all intelligent races, as long as they meet the conditions, can enter Erethusa to study. β
Margarita agreed to this condition. In fact, the academy itself is not too hostile to other races. Yennefer has elven blood, so this condition is not unacceptable, the only limitation is the lack of resources. It's just that it's no longer a problem.
"The second thing is that one of the students will be here to be taught by you. Make sure she gets the best education and make sure she's absolutely safe. Make sure she doesn't have any surprises. Because she's more than you think. β
Heri, who was already ten years old, walked out from behind Su Yuan.
"Can I not come here to study, Yennefer will teach me." Ciri was obviously reluctant to leave Su Yuan and the others. In ten years, she and Su Yuan have been together longer than with her mother. This made the little girl very reluctant to her three fathers and mothers.
"Yennefer is not good at all magic. Here you can receive more complete training. This is where you can really take control of yourself. Su Yuan didn't say it explicitly, but Margarita had quickly realized that there might be something wrong with the girl's bloodline.
"Rest assured, we will give her the best education. Teach her how to control her power. β
"Oh well. One more thing, why Geralt didn't come to see me off. He only comes to see me for a few days a year, and you tell him that if he doesn't come to see me, I'll ignore him. β
"Hey...... My good Ciri. The three of us are with you every day, but you only think about you, Geralt, you really break our hearts. Su Yuan said and made a heartache look.
This made Renfrrey on the side have a black line with Yennefer. This person is sometimes calm and rational and terrifying, able to talk and laugh and annihilate two countries. But sometimes, like a child, it's very naΓ―ve. But it is precisely because of this that he has the best relationship with Ciri.
Su Yuan's weirdness made Ciri feel better. When Su Yuan repeatedly swore that he would definitely come to see her every month, Ciri finally followed Margarita and the others back to school crying.
Su Yuan's original intention was to gather the wizards of the academy and directly form a mage legion. But then I thought about it, and this step was a bit big. So in the end, it was decided to take a break and give the academy a little time to change.
And after explaining what happened to Ciri. Su Yuan and the others are also about to leave for the north. He was now going to Kelmohan, ready to complete his agreement with Vismere.
It's still the familiar ruins. But it's completely different from the previous one. At least the perimeter has been cleaned up. The road up the mountain has also been groomed. A large number of dilapidated ruins have been completely demolished, and only a few buildings remain intact. And around those buildings, there are also some temporary houses. Some teenagers were coming in and out, repairing the houses.
It looks like Westmill has put a lot of effort into it over the years. There was no reluctance on the faces of those teenagers. Many of them are even talking and laughing at the same time as their brains.
The eldest of those children was about sixteen years old, and the youngest was only about ten years old. Seeing the arrival of Su Yuan and the others, several high-age children directly drew their swords to greet them. It was evident that the children were walking steadily, and there was no fear on their faces. Apparently already has a pretty good foundation.
"Who are you, tourists are not welcome here."
"Renfrey, test it out and don't hurt them."
Renfrey drew her sword and stepped forward, and she met the thirty young men with swords.
A few minutes later, a group of teenagers looked blankly, their swords neatly placed aside, and formed the appearance of a giant sword.
"Alright, Renfrey, stop bullying these kids. You are now the famous Northern Sword Master. A group of kids who just got a sword, they don't need to be so serious. β
Viselmir's voice came from the side, which made Renfrey smile as well. After all, Viselmir also taught her a lot of knowledge about witchers, and was one of her teachers.
"Where did you get so many seedlings, it's not bad. There is a certain foundation, and after the trial, it should be formed soon. β
"Hehe, it was Sue who reminded me. In this world, there are too few things that money can't do. He supported me with a lot of money, and I picked a group of good qualifications from the refugees from all over the country. Spent a fortune to bring them back. It was enough to buy a large amount of supplies to replenish their nutrition. Now that they're ready, I wonder how you guys are doing? β
Yennefer stepped forward.
"Of course, we can at any time."
