Chapter 568: Dean Crewe's Appeal
Chapter 568: Dean Crewe's Appeal
Early in the morning on July 13, Lorist was not in a good mood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Anderbell, the bear kid is in trouble again, he gets up in the morning and catches a little rooster, probably blaming the rooster crowing in the early morning for waking him up from his good dreams, so he suddenly plans to have a live barbecue. So he took some straw rope and wrapped the little in a mess, and then lit a fire......
One can imagine what kind of terrible existence the little rooster on fire will become, it is a fire-breathing battle chicken in the flock, the little rooster with a burning straw rope becomes a shooting star, first ignites the chicken shed, then flies up to a green tree on the side of the road, smoke rises from the tree, and then burrows into a maid's room, igniting the curtains and sheets, and finally with the screams of the maids, the little rooster rushes into the utility room, and then flies out of the utility room that began to smoke and falls on the ground in the kitchen hall dying......
Lorist hurried up from the bed and found that the servants had already extinguished the burning flames, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and grabbed Anderbell, the bear child, and gave him a fat beating, making his ass fat on the spot. Then in the midst of Anderbell's big cry, Princess Celivia blamed her for being too heavy and nagging for half an hour, so that Lorist didn't even feel like she had much appetite for breakfast, so she went to the study after a casual mess.
It seems that Anderbell will have to find a stricter governess, so that he will not be spoiled by Princess Celivia's lawlessness. But fortunately, Princess Celivia is not an unprincipled and bottomless spoiled son like Irina. Eight-year-old Anderbell is just a little naughty and curious, and he is usually a good boy. The main reason why Lorist beat him up in the morning was that he was exercising on Fenna Gary in the morning, and was interrupted by a fire alarm in the nick of time, which caused him to spread a fire on Anderbell's body.
Genolio pushed the door open and brought Lorist a freshly boiled pot of Michels.
Lorist asked lazily, "Is there any arrangement for today?"
"Your Highness, at nine o'clock, the dean of the Dawn Academy, Grand Sword Master Cleud, is coming to meet you, and he should want to discuss with you the establishment of the Dawn Academy branch. Genorio replied.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years since Dawn Academy moved from Moldant City to Northland to re-establish its school. Dean Levens also retired, giving up the position of Dean to the Archswordsman of Crewe and returning to his hometown to retire. The current Dawn Academy is the first academy in the Kingdom of Antinac, with nearly 10,000 students. In addition to the Norton family, many nobles of the kingdom also sent their children to the Northland to study.
"Where does Dean Claude want to open a branch?" asked Lorlist.
Genolio patted his forehead, and his Highness didn't know where to stuff the documents, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, didn't you receive the application documents submitted by Dawn Academy last time? ā
Lorist suddenly understood, no wonder Dean Claude came to him now, it was purely the Duke of Kenmax and the Duke of Philim who were the two guys who were holding up the bull. Dawn College is a comprehensive college, and it has many majors, such as the formal training of knights and the accounting and statistics related to business, which are the most popular majors among students. The reason is simple, graduates of these majors can easily find a high-paying job, whether it is to join the Norton family armed forces or become a civilian official in the Norton family territory, it is very popular. Even if they are not related to the Norton family, they will be recruited by other nobles and chambers of commerce.
Duke Kenmeth, as the lord of Venades City appointed by Lorliste, has done a great job over the years, not only making Venades City the base camp of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, but also developing Vannades City into the largest commercial city in the Kingdom of Antinac, where almost all the chambers of commerce in the kingdom are gathered. Therefore, he started the idea of Dawn Academy, and tried to persuade Dean Claude to agree to open a business branch in Vannades City, so as to cultivate a large number of talents needed by the Chamber of Commerce to meet the needs of the expanding various chambers of commerce, and Duke Kenmax stood with a new large number of wealthy and honorary nobles, who did not want to compete with the Norton family in the Northland every year for the students of those who graduated from Dawn Academy.
In the same way, Duke Philim hopes that Dean Crude can separate the knight training profession and open a professional knight branch in the royal city of Windbrie, which is also the wish of those military nobles in the kingdom, compared with the orthodox knight professional training of Dawn Academy, the families of these military nobles have more or less shortcomings in the knightly training of their children. This is that the physical fitness and fighting spirit attributes of the children of military nobles conflict with the ancestral fighting spirit, which is not as comprehensive as that of the Dawn Academy, and the second is that the investment in comprehensive knight training for several children of the family is too large, and it is much easier to hand it over to the Dawn Academy.
For Dean Crewod, it is a good thing that Dawn Academy can set up a branch, which shows that Dawn Academy's influence is getting bigger and bigger. This is not the moment when Dawn Academy fell to the point of closure more than ten years ago. If it weren't for Lorist saying that the tree was dead, and the people moved Dean Levens, who moved the whole of Dawn College to the Northland, and donated the land to the college for free to mobilize labor to help build the college, the college would not be as prosperous as it is now. With reason and reason, the matter of Dawn College to build a branch has to be discussed with Lorlist, not to mention that whether it is Vanades City or Windbrie King City, it is also the territory under the jurisdiction of the Norton family, and Dawn Academy must obtain Lorlist's consent to set up a branch before allocating a piece of land to Dawn Academy to set up a branch.
"I think the application bag was blue, it looked like it was stuffed on the table over there, you can look for it. Lorist rubbed his temples and said to Genolio. I remember that when I saw this application document a few days ago, I was busy reviewing the agreements I had just reached with those temples, and I put it in the pile of documents over there.
After searching for a long time, I finally found this application document for Dawn Academy, took the document and asked Lorlister, "Is there anything else to do in the morning besides meeting Dean Crewe?"
Genorio replied, "Your Highness, there is no one else to meet. Yesterday, however, His Majesty the King sent a messenger to you urging you to leave for the Imperial Capital early to attend his enthronement ceremony. You'll have to write a reply to the messenger. Also, the Duke of Kenmax has sent you a letter asking when you will be leaving, and he wants to go with you to the Imperial Capital. In addition, the Duke of Philim and the Duke of Shaheen also sent a letter of greeting, saying that the two of them will go to the imperial capital together on July 18 to attend the ceremony, and that you are welcome to go with them to ......"
"Why are you going to be full so early?" Lorist muttered, "Anyway, His Majesty's enthronement ceremony is on August 10, so just arrive at the imperial capital three or four days in advance." Well, I will write to inform His Majesty that I am too busy to go there so early, but that I will arrive in the Imperial Capital by the fifth of August. As for Kenmaz, you write to him in my name and tell him that I will go by boat and let him wait at Platinum Beach......"
"But your Highness, you must tell me an exact date of departure......" Genorio complained.
"Okay," Lorist began to count with his fingers: "It should be seven days from Beihai City to Qilin Harbor, I will count eight days, and then stay in Qilin Harbor for one day, and it will take two days to reach the Emperor." Then it will take a total of eleven days, plus the guy who went to pick up Kenmax, which is also one day, and it will take twelve days. By the way, it takes three days to get from Angry Bear City to Beihai City, which is a fifteen-day trip. Genolio, we are going to arrive in the imperial capital before the 5th of August, so according to this itinerary, we will leave on the 25th of July, and you should inform the Duke of Kenmax like this. ā
(Note: The calendar of the continent of Gelinthia is a month of thirty-five days)
"Which lady is Your Highness going to take with you?" asked Genorio.
Lorist knew he wasn't referring to Princess Celevia, but to the four ladies-in-waiting. Princess Celevia, as the matriarch of the Norton family, naturally had to attend His Majesty's enthronement ceremony.
Lorist thought for a moment and said, "Bring them all, even the children." After attending the ceremony, they can escape the summer at Wanghai Manor on Hilois Island, where they have their favorite beach. ā
"Yes, Your Highness. Genorio said. As Lorlist's attendant, he would inform Lorlist's butler of Lorlist's decision, who would then tell Princess Celivia and the four lady-in-waiting. Although today is only the 13th of July, there are still about 10 days before the departure day. However, the Grand Duke of Northland travels with his family, and there are many people accompanying him, so some luggage must be prepared in advance, so as not to make mistakes when he arrives.
At nine o'clock Dean Klaude arrived punctually to meet Lorist. The two have not seen each other for many years, and now their hearts are full of emotion. For Dean Crewe, he almost watched Lorist go from an ordinary student of Dawn Academy to a great legend step by step. The black iron teacher of the academy back then, now the Grand Duke of the Northland, the sword saint of the Zhenguo. This made Dean Crewe, who was already a golden student when Lorist first entered Dawn Academy, feel that he had lived with a dog all his life. Now that he has finally become a second-level great swordsman, Lorist has become a sword master......
Dean Claude, who came back to his senses, finally decided not to compare with Lorlist's open rivalry anymore. When Lorist was still in the Black Iron Rank, he fought with the golden three-star self and won or lost, so that the treacherous Dean Levins made up his mind to invest heavily in Lorlist's body, and used Lorlist's swordsmanship to dig a pit to pit the silver training of the rest of the colleges in Moriente City, and let out a good breath of evil, and at the same time achieved Lorlist's Black Iron Lock, the legendary deeds of Silver Invincible.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Genorio served fragrant tea, and Dean Crewe was not polite and explained his intention straight to the point. Dawn Academy does have plans to open a branch, but it is currently only preparing to open a branch. So Duke Kenmax and Duke Philim were in a fight, and Dean Claude was caught in the middle. It's not that he doesn't want to open two branches, but the teachers of the two branches are insufficient, and he can't abandon these majors of Dawn College in the Northland because of the opening of branches. In that case, the Norton family would be the first not to agree.
Lorist understood this very well, and at the same time, he also understood the purpose of Dean Claude's visit to him this time, which was to dump the pot on Lorlist. And this pot Lorist has to be carried if he doesn't carry it, only by using his mouth to decide which branch of Dawn Academy to set up, then the Duke of Kenmax and Duke Philim will stop, none of them dare to anger Lorist, as long as Lorist makes a decision, they can only obediently shut up.
"Let's start with the Faculty of Commerce in Vandenas City. Lorist made a decision very quickly. He explained to Dean Crewod: "Now that the world is at peace, and His Majesty the King has changed the kingdom into an empire after he ascended the throne, it is unlikely that there will be war in the empire in the next ten years, and the most important thing is to recuperate and restore the strength and vitality of the people." The struggle for the throne and the civil war have left the empire's more than twenty provinces in shambles, leaving behind a mess. What the empire needs most at the moment are grassroots civil servants who understand people's livelihood and business. And not a knight who charges into battle. Therefore, even if the graduates were not recruited, they could enter the imperial bureaucracy and become a well-paid civilian official. ā
Krude nodded: "Okay, then it's decided, let's open a business branch in Vandenas City first." I will refuse the request of the Duke of Philim as you say. ā
Lorist pondered for a moment and asked, "Why would Duke Philim advocate the opening of the Knight Branch of Dawn Academy in King Windbry?"
Dean Crewd's answer was simple, the Pegasus Legion of the Philim family had suffered a lot of losses in the bloody battle on the Plains of Fallimound three years ago, especially the junior officers of the legion. Therefore, the Duke of Philim hopes to open a knight branch near the royal city of Windbrie, which can easily carry out short-term knightly training for the newly promoted veterans and grassroots officers of the Pegasus Legion, and restore the combat effectiveness of the Pegasus Legion.
"In this case, you can let Duke Philim select people to come to the Northland in batches for short-term training, and there is no need to set up a special knight branch in King Windbrie. Lorist made a suggestion.
However, Dean Claude was still a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, although your suggestion is pertinent, it is difficult for us to do it. If we don't open a business branch, we can allocate personnel to open a knight branch, which can provide short-term knightly training for the junior officers of the Pegasus Legion armed by the Philim family. However, after the establishment of the business branch, the teaching in the college was not enough to have the manpower and energy to conduct intensive training for the Philim family's armed forces. ā
Lorist laughed: "What's so difficult about this? In this way, I just gave the knights of the clan a long vacation, you can hire those old students of the Dawn Academy to serve as instructors in a short period of time, I believe those old students will be very happy." However, the time is only three months, and in October, our family forces will regroup and go to the barbarian plain for training. ā
Dean Claude was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and bowed down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Highness, all the troubles have been solved now." ā
