It is a well-established fact that the "high" and "expensive" of the silver-white tower are high.

Legend has it that the 120-meter-high stone tower showed no traces of its build-up, as if it were a single unit, and could not be built by man. The sorcerer once overlooked the beings from the top of the tower, and the first Pope Enoch once assassinated the Chosen One on it, and the Church of Radiance was thus put on the stage of history. The collection of texts and research by the wizards of the Tower created the Church's Ivory Fortress, and the Tower itself was preserved as the Order of Pope Enoch and is now the highest institution of learning for the nobility.

The common aristocracy played a greater role in family affairs, and their status and power increased, and the influence of the Silver Tower increased day by day, gradually evolving into a neutral political organization. More than 700 years ago, the Radiant Knights suddenly broke the rules of the game and plotted against the Emperor of the Rand, and the lord of the Great Lord was in danger, and they formed a loose alliance with the conservative forces of the Church under the coordination of family scholars to balance the momentum of the Paladin family. The White Tower camp came into being.

Today, the Silver and White Tower has become an academic club dominated by great nobles and scholars, and its threshold is staggering.

The tuition fee for a single subject in the Silver and White Tower is 2,000 gold soles, and the tuition fee is 1,000 gold soles, and if the son of a noble child studies three subjects at the same time, the family has to pay 10,000 gold soles per year for him. The young baron's father owned a fief and earned less than 1,500 gold soles a year. If Randall didn't have jaggery, his annual revenue would not exceed 20,000 gold soles. Therefore, the tuition fee of the Silver and White Tower is actually a high entry fee, specifically to exclude those down-and-out small families.

However, money alone is not enough!

If the children of nobles want to study in the White Tower, they must first obtain a letter of recommendation from the White Tower scholars. In other words, if the nobles want to join the White Tower, they must first take refuge in a big force. The Augusts, Yorks, Wellingtons, Joshuas, Nimes, and Solims of the Kingdom of Gambis were such great powers.

Sylvia once told Victor that it would be difficult for the lord to move forward if he did not choose a side!

The thousand-year-old giants have stood tall and strong, relying on inclusiveness. The Marquis of Goron was originally a knight of the old king's servants, but he stepped into the pinnacle and immediately became the leader of the Augustian family, and his heirs also had the right to inherit the throne. In order to put Sylvia on the throne of the family, the old Duke of York did not hesitate to cut off the knighthood of his eldest grandson. When Sylvia saw Master Edwin, she would also politely call him uncle. Sylvia has a good eye for Sophia, and she tolerates Victor in every way for the long-term interests of the family.

However, it is not enough to attract talents by means of Huai Rou, and the major forces must monopolize wealth and resources, grasp the right to speak, and suppress and squeeze out those families who are about to leave, so as to avoid the emergence of strong competitors.

Either disintegrate or join, and as long as you have the ability, you can lead the entire force!

The Randall family is still young and is not a real family, but Victor's ancient bloodline is comparable to that of the Golden Knight. In the eyes of the York family, Victor is the core member of the family, and of course Master Edwin will not refuse the Randall family's request to study, not to mention that he still owes Victor a big favor.

The tuition fees of the Silver and White Tower are also a big burden for Victor, but in order to improve the Randall family's education and research system, this investment cannot be saved in any way.

Now the question is, who to send?

The Silver Tower not only imparts valuable knowledge, but is also an influential political organization. While studying, scholars accumulate contacts and get to know the elite children of other families, and the major forces also reach a tacit understanding through the White Tower, exchange information, and exchange ideas. The Golden Knight Andre's pursuit of Princess Roland was matched by the Marquis of Golon's request for the Silver and White Tower, and although Andre failed to win Roland's favor, the Silver and White Tower was able to persuade a Golden Knight to join the Gambis royal family, which was enough to prove their influence in high society.

For a long time, the Silver and White Tower only recruited the children of the nobility.

In addition to Victor, only Lilia, Sister Alina, and Nelson are nobles, and none of them can leave Randall's Domain. Victor set his sights on the little squire, and after a period of consideration, he chose Paul and Mary.

Paul is 13 years old and Mary is 12 years old, they are not very old, but they are older than the other little squires, because they are all little agents carefully cultivated by Baror, and Paul is the best among them, and is regarded by Barol as his successor. Since Barol went on business, Victor arranged for all the spies to live in Silvermoon Manor and receive education from Alina's acolytes. Their temperament and demeanor are no different from those of the nobles, and as for the origins of the two, Victor has also arranged that they will go to the White Tower to study as Lord Nelson's adopted son and daughter.

"Are you still used to living in Lord Nelson's house?"

In the study room of the castle in Pinghu Town, Victor looked at the two little spies with a smile on his face. Paul has a delicate face, handsome facial features, an elegant temperament, and a decent white linen shirt, a beautiful young man. Mary is blonde and blue-eyed, with picturesque eyebrows, a white and delicate face with baby fat, but her well-proportioned figure has ups and downs, and the young and delicate girl is like a budding flower bone, which is very attractive. The outstanding looks of the two are the main reason why Victor chose them.

Aristocrats are creatures who look at faces, and the scholars of the Silver and White Towers are no exception.

Paul stepped forward, bowed, and said, "My lord, my parents are very kind to us. ”

"Really?" Victor smiled, and Paul looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "If I had Bertina's appetite, my father would be happier...... My father thought I was too thin and asked me to eat double portions of food every day......"

Bertina was known for her ability to eat, and everyone agreed that the little girl had the stomach of a dragon. Nelson is also a big stomach, especially after practicing the secret form of barberry, he has to eat a sheep every day, in his opinion, he can eat it to be considered a man, which is difficult for Paul, who specializes in the secret form of the spirit monkey. Victor glanced at Paul sympathetically, turned his gaze to the girl who was covering her mouth and snickering, and asked, "What about you, Mary?"

"Our parents took good care of us. The girl lifted her skirt and curtsied, and she glanced at Victor secretly, and two red clouds flew on her delicate little face, and said softly, "Paul's clothes and I are made by my mother's own hands. ”

In this world, there are 576 days in a year, ordinary people can get married and have children at the age of 15, Mary is twelve years old this year, which is the age when love first blossoms, she looks at Victor like Lilia at the beginning, and her eyes are full of shyness that cannot be concealed.

Four years have passed, and the pioneers who followed Victor are in their prime, but the new generation has quietly grown up, educated as squires, more capable and faithful than their parents. These more than 100 little squires, little spies will become Victor's right-hand man, helping him strengthen the Randall family, and they will also have their own demands. And Victor, as a lord, must strive for more benefits for his people.

The development of the family is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

"Lady Linda's tailoring skills are family heirlooms, and you can learn more from her when you have time. However, that will wait until you return from the White Tower. Victor gathered his thoughts, took out two parchment scrolls, and said, "This is a letter of recommendation written by Master Edwin himself...... Do you know what it means to you?"

Paul and Mary looked at each other and said, "I'...... I'm not so sure. My lord, we do what you say. ”

"With this letter, the doors of the Silver Tower are opened to you, and the doors of high society are also open to you. Victor tossed the parchment scroll at the two and said, "If you are given the title of scholar of the Tower, I will give you 5,000 acres of manor and canonize you Lord of House Randall." ”

It takes three generations of effort for a lord to become a vassal, and the lord has to decide whether to canonize him or not according to the actual situation of the territory. The transformation of vassals into nobility cannot be changed by hard work and loyalty, it requires merit, means, and good luck. Paul and Mary have a letterhead in their hands that can help vassal families ascend to the sky, although they have both received education as spies and attendants, but after all, they are young and do not have enough understanding of fate and opportunity, and the two secretly rejoice that they feel valued and treated especially by their masters. Paul clenched the parchment letterhead, bowed, and said, "My lord, what is our mission?"

Victor was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the little agent meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Study hard and make progress every day." ”

"Every day, every day, my lord, do you want us to climb the tower every day?" asked Mary weakly.

"Uh...... Forget that. Victor coughed dryly and admonished: "The situation in the Silver and White Tower is complicated, don't think about gathering intelligence and developing shadows. Studying hard and striving to become a scholar is my task for you. Paul, you study history and blacksmithing. Mary, you specialize in pharmacy. ”

"Yes, sir!" replied the boy and girl in unison.

Victor nodded and said, "The Lord's adopted son will inevitably be excluded and discriminated against by the children of other nobles when he goes to study in the White Tower. However, with Master Edwin's endorsement, you will not encounter too much difficulty. You should concentrate on your studies, don't get involved in any mess, and don't let others take advantage of you. ”

The so-called messy things refer to the interpersonal interactions between classmates. The children of the nobles went to the White Pagoda for further study, in addition to improving their knowledge, but also to meet other family members and expand their connections, otherwise they could completely receive the education of family scholars.

Politicization has weakened the academic atmosphere of the Silver Tower, and scholars have focused on the study of strategy and diplomacy. In the past two hundred years, there have been almost no decent academic achievements in the disciplines related to people's livelihood in the Silver and White Tower, but the Ivory Sacred Fort has been constantly innovating. In view of this, some Baita scholars believe that it is necessary to collect and sort out the skills of the displaced people and use them as research objects to find a breakthrough. Master Edwin and Master Tacitus are the epitomes, but they are always tied to the family. The White Pagoda is still the White Pagoda needed by the major forces, and all kinds of farces such as alliances, marriages, betrayals, plots, and murders are staged on the stage of the White Pagoda in turn, and they have never been interrupted.

The Randall family's development strategy is bottom-up, with an eye on the vast underclass of society. Victor had no interest in socializing among the nobles, and sent Paul and Mary to the White Tower, mainly to learn useful knowledge and improve the Randall family's education and research system. Although Victor could call on the craftsmen and scholars of the York family, he was not his own and was always difficult to use.

On the other hand, the Silver and White Tower is a wizard's tower left by the Chosen One, and its knowledge system is derived from the Church's Ivory Fortress, which inherits the results of the wizards' research. The Chosen One's Potions evolved into Apothecary, and its effects made Victor particularly angry.

Master Tacitus used Itugos's eyeballs to concoct two bottles of transcendent regeneration potions, which were said to be able to regenerate severed limbs in conjunction with the priest's divine magic. The value of refining potions and purification potions does not need to be repeated, as berserk potions and body forging potions are both important means to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Victor explored the mountains and the swamps, and there were countless rare medicinal herbs in them, but what he lacked was the recipe and the theoretical knowledge of pharmacy.

The difference between the sale of raw materials and the deep processing of raw materials is a world of difference.

Moreover, Victor is very interested in the origin of the Chosen One. According to the alchemy auxiliary Busso, wizards are known as mages in the alchemy empire, and their social status is second only to alchemists. Therefore, Victor has reason to suspect that the Silver White Tower is an alchemy tower. Even though the Glorious Church has concealed the historical truth, the knowledge of the Chosen One has been passed down, and by comparing the original potion formula of the Silver White Tower with the formula mastered by the alchemy auxiliaries, it can be verified whether the Chosen One is a mage of the Alchemy Empire.

If the Silver and White Tower was really an alchemy tower, Victor would have to get its law crystal anyway, and he was now especially eager to repair the memory upload function of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower.

King Taling once said that the most powerful alchemy creatures are based on humans, because alchemist humans have the ability to learn. At first, Victor didn't care about this, alchemist humans only had a lifespan of fifteen years, and any skills they learned would eventually have to be washed away. He ignores the most basic truth: the alchemy tower and the alchemy creatures are one and the same. This means that the Alchemy Pagoda has the ability to learn!

The skills of alchemy humans are divided into two categories, one is the basic class, including gathering, forging and building, and the second is the auxiliary class, including long weapon mastery, short weapon mastery, long-range weapon mastery, shield mastery and the three secret forms. The secret form is not the self-provided skill of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower, and the king extracted Victor's memory, which led to the Barberry Militia and the Spirit Monkey Militia. Victor knows very well how difficult it is to cultivate the Barberry Secret Form, but every Barberry Militia is born with the Barberry Secret Form and is proficient in it.

However, the most difficult thing to practice is not the secret form of barberry, but the secret method of oscillation of the throat cutter. At present, Nelson is the only one who has mastered this powerful combat skill, and his strength has also increased by leaps and bounds, catching up with the Great Knight. Currently, Nelson is trying to combine the Barberry Secret Form, the Spirit Monkey Secret Form, and the Oscillation Combat Technique to create a new set of secret methods.

Victor was both expectant and frustrated with Nelson's efforts. The alchemy militia hadn't even learned the oscillating combat technique, so what could they do if the new secret method was successful? By the time they had practiced it, most of them would be dying. For this reason, Victor complained to the king, but the king told him that as long as the memory upload function of the alchemy tower was repaired, it could wash away the memories of the alchemy humans, extract useful skills, and load them for the newborn alchemist humans.

What alchemy humans have learned, the alchemy tower has learned, and what alchemy towers have mastered, alchemy humans have mastered.

Victor blew up at that time, and if Renault cultivated the barberry secret form to the highest level, the barberry secret form of the alchemy tower would be prefixed with "proficient". If Jack learns the Oscillating Skill, the Alchemy Tower will spawn a completely new skill. If Busso masters the recipe for the Transcendent Elixir of Regeneration, all alchemists who are loaded with the Gathering Skill will be master apothecaries.

The alchemy creature and the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda share the same soul fire origin, they are one, so the alchemy pagoda is essentially an alchemy life, an alchemy life that can grow!

Victor picked up the bell on the table and shook it gently, and two sturdy guards walked in. "Barkley, Manuel, they're just as good as Shak, they're my elite guards. From now on, they will be your bodyguards. ”

Paul and Mary were in awe, and Barol was accompanied by four elite guards. As Barol's disciples, they knew how terrifying the family's elite guards really were.

"Barkley and Manuel are responsible for protecting you, at all costs. Victor paused, and then said, "The Silver and White Tower not only contains knowledge, but also contains many secrets and conspiracies. Talk less, listen more, watch more, and if you find something strange, tell your guards, and they will contact me. Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

A grim smile appeared on Victor's face, "If anyone has a bad mind for you...... Remember, the Randalls are not subject to any coercion!"
