Chapter 158: Money
Jackson frowned and looked at the person who spoke, it was the chief instructor of the bow and crossbow department, with long black hair, and the whole person looked thin and pale, like the legendary elf-like man, Edgar.
This Edgar is the son of the former dean, 40 years old this year, although he did not succeed in perceiving the Aether fan, participated in the state election, and passed the second turn, but he was also quite a genius when he was young, and he was a senior first-turn knight.
Five years ago, because of the lack of school resources, he secretly seized the cultivation materials of the students and used them to cultivate himself, but he was discovered by Jackson and almost expelled from the academy.
Because of the former dean's repeated pleas and filling his own pockets to make up for the shortfall, he was let go.
Despite this, Edgar is still full of hostility towards Jackson, because Edgar is a person, what he values most is his reputation, his own face, and he was exposed to such an incident by the dean, he almost died of shame, and almost committed suicide for it.
Even if he was prevented from committing suicide, he didn't come to the academy for more than half a year, and after returning to the academy, he often lived in seclusion, gradually fading out of people's field of vision, and had no face at all in front of everyone.
For a person who values face so much, it was so devastating. It can be said that he has been trying his best to take revenge on Jackson, but he is forced by the strong strength of the other party to hide his intentions and have no actual actions.
This time, I don't know why, looking at Jackson's eyes full of confidence.
Seeing Jackson turn his head, Edgar smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with what I said? In order to cultivate Fang Xingjian, the academy has been unable to make ends meet for several months, right? Many medicinal materials that have been treasured for many years have also been used, and now that Fang Xingjian is useless, is this loss big?"
Moreover, the state election is about to start in four months, but the cultivation resources are insufficient at this time, so it is very detrimental to the future of the academy, right?"
"Yes, Fang Xingjian used so many resources, and as a result, people were wasted, it was really a waste. ”
"This kid is too arrogant, when he privately challenged other district champions, I said, he is too unorganized and undisciplined, this kind of person will die if he goes to the battlefield? ”
"But you can't say that, after all, it's Kaunitz ...... who did it."
"But isn't he still the one who took the initiative to cause trouble? Isn't it okay for him to keep a low profile? Killed so many gangsters in Koster before, I don't know how many nobles don't like him. ”
Looking at the voice underground, Jackson let out a breath and said, "Okay, this matter, I do have an unshirkable responsibility, I will take a part of my own property to make up for the loss of the academy." ”
"I'm afraid that's still not good, right?" Seeing Jackson's angry eyes, Edgar said indifferently, "After all, you're old now, and it's normal to sometimes see the wrong person......
"Hehe, I'm old, but I'm not old yet......" Jackson sneered.
"But your possessions alone won't help much. Edgar shook his head and said, "I heard that the Green Fei Academy has raised 50,000 gold coins from the nobles this time.
The Mongo Academy has also signed cooperation agreements with seventeen martial arts schools.
Other Jinhai, Biqi, Violet, etc., we have a total of twelve regional royal academies in Daxi Prefecture, except for our Koster, almost all of them have made very adequate preparations. ”
As he spoke, Edgar sent out a series of materials, which detailed the preparations of each academy, detailed lists, and various supplies, and everyone was gasping for a long time.
Edgar shrugged his shoulders and said, "And as far as I know, until last week, Dean Jackson, you were still contacting Lord Divine Prayer for Fang Xingjian to collect documents and materials for him to comprehend the Aether Fan, Dean ......"
Speaking of this, Edgar's tone was cold, and he said seriously: "Have you not given up on Fang Xingjian yet, you are so concerned about Fang Xingjian, and where are you placing the other students in the academy." ”
Jackson only felt that the other party's every move, every word seemed to be a step-by-step trap, making his position more and more passive, but at this moment, he still had to answer truthfully: "I believe that Fang Xingjian has a chance, he has been in the Storm Sword Master for four months, and surpassed the speed of sound for a month, with such qualifications, there are few in the history of the empire."
Such a person is very hopeful of perceiving the etheric fan and sensing it through celestial beings.
And I'm already in contact with the Holy Prayer over there, and I'm also very interested in the situation of the other party's Star Sword.
As long as Fang Xingjian can recover, then our initial investment will not be considered a failure, and if we give up on him now, then all the investments will be wasted. ”
Edgar said angrily: "So you're going to take the whole academy to gamble with you? How many resources are you going to give him? To a blind man? Is there a blind man in the history of the empire who became a knight? Is there any blind man who is going to participate in the state election?"
Be sensible, Dean, what we are thinking about now should be to stop loss, if we don't even have a top 10 in this state election, how much will the state government and Xuexiu reduce the budget for us next year?"
Hearing that the budget had been reduced, everyone present pricked up their ears, this was a real issue related to their income, benefits, monthly cultivation materials, and so on.
Edgar said confidently: "Master Xuezheng is very concerned about this state election and next year's national election, and he is also very dissatisfied with the excessive resources on our side to tilt some talented students. ”
"That's what the students said?"
"It's true that this tilt of resources is a bit unfair to other students. ”
Xuexiu Devitt is in charge of the knights of a state, and there are naturally many leaders under him, and Xuezheng is in charge of all 12 district royal colleges in a state.
As for the only state royal college in the Great Western State, it has always been the dean and guidance of Master Xuexiu DeWitt, and it is also the only college that cannot be managed by academic administration.
Hearing Edgar's words, Jackson frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'm just the other party's Star Sword to ensure that he is the reward he deserves as the district champion, and I won't tilt resources too much to him in the future." ”
"But is it useful to give so many resources to a blind man?
In the state election, there must be a pass in the comprehension of martial arts in the monument of the gods, and he is blind, how can he see the monument? It is impossible for him to participate in the state election. Edgar said: "I suggest canceling all the resources provided to Fang Xingjian in the future, of course, this refers to the cultivation resources, and the replenishment every month is still the same, and the house does not have to be taken back."
Although he is blind, his experience is still there, so I suggest that he be the teacher of the sword department and guide the next work of the sword department to attack the state election. ”
Jackson snorted coldly, and the momentum on his body suddenly exploded, pressing towards Edgar fiercely: "Edgar, do you think you are in charge here, and you are the dean?"
Edgar smiled reluctantly, and continued: "I have already talked to the people of the Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce, and they agreed to fund the academy with 100,000 gold coins, but they only have one request, that is, they must let me use this money, because they believe in my vision, and they will really use this money properly and bring glory to the academy, instead of wasting it on some blind person."
