Chapter 197: Parents of the Lost Land
Leaving aside a lich's comment about an elf's 'pointy-eared bitch', the fact is that many of the elves' words may sound disagreeable to humans due to cultural differences. One may be a problem of interlinguistic translation, just like on the earth, Westerners speak Chinese, even if they speak correctly, sometimes the meaning of the words will give people a sense of non-conformity. In the same way, Oriental people will have the same problems as Western language families, as long as they are not born and raised in that environment.
However, for the high elves who are experienced in walking in human society, they will make this kind of mistake of speaking to make people misunderstand, and it is estimated that it is also deliberate, and the object will not be the person who is talking, but the person who listens next to him. Of course, you can't be stupid and take it seriously at this time, because if you do that, you will only get innocent eyes and accuse yourself of misunderstanding the meaning of the words.
In short, it is the women who speak, and the interpretation is up to them. If you want to force the other party to swallow the nonsense you said casually, you have to see if your strength is enough. However, it is obvious that if you want to reason with a woman who stands at the top of the food chain, you must first weigh whether you are enough to stuff other people's teeth.
The atmosphere tonight is so weird. The two factions are distinct, and each of them forms a circle to talk. Some deliberately provoked people can occasionally cause the two circles to say a few sour words each, but they end silently, as if everyone is restraining something.
On the way back, he and Fen discussed this strange feeling. She said thoroughly: "It's very simple, they will trouble me for so long, how can I not taste anything, the ultimate goal is still on you." You have the benefits they and the people behind them want, what do I have? Besides, who do you think would be worse if you turned against me? β
β¦β¦ Is this a kind of bystander clear, the authorities are fascinated? Lin didn't think about the crux of the problem on himself. But as soon as he broke it, he understood the situation in front of him.
From the second day, the number of visitors to the college increased.
During the period when the academy was established, except for the transportation team that came to deliver the materials purchased by the forestry institute, there would be no outsiders visiting. On the night of the lecture once a week, many people would come, and a night market was formed outside the college, mainly selling food.
After that, a little bit of a guest will visit. Exploring coffee technology and wanting to take it for free; Ask about the language doubts of P, and take it for granted that it is obtained for free in the name of communication. In short, the guests who will visit during this time are not good-natured. If it weren't for the fact that most of the time, the great magician Juan Javier helped the town, someone would have been cleaned up by the people who smashed the field.
But from this day on, there were finally some people who knew how to bow their heads and beg for their children to enter the academy.
And the feeling of being begged like this made Lin feel very weird. After all, he is a world and an era in which education is both a national right and an obligation. While advocating the education of love, the status of teachers is probably higher than that of dogs. The sent dog will not receive a salary, nor will it be handcuffed by the police when something happens......
Off topic.
In short, now that he has the right to education, Lin's social status in Wulian City seems to have risen a lot in an instant. In the past, some people who asked for it and might not be able to meet it all took the initiative to visit. The cooperation that has been proposed before but has not been followed seems to be carried out at the same time. Of course, in exchange, their people can enter the academy.
For these people with all kinds of thoughts and ideas, Lin was not polite, and directly threw a contract and the URL of the explanatory document on the forum.
"What, asking for money? Tuition? β
This is the reaction of most people. Lin also doesn't plan to explain to these people what is meant by sustainable management and what is paid by users. Pointing directly to the end of the contract, he said, "If you don't pay the tuition, you will be like those children, who will serve the academy for free for two years after five years or after becoming official magicians." If you agree to this condition, you don't need money to learn magic. β
After becoming a magician, serve others for free for two years, or pay the tuition fee for a half-year CCC Kiel (300 gold) and a maximum of five years MMM Kiel (3000 gold)? In particular, the contract also states that during the two-year period of service, it is possible to be assigned to a life-threatening mission, although only one participation can be relieved of the remaining length of service.
To pay or not to pay tuition is no longer an option for those who will come to visit. What's more, as in the past, if you find a magician you know first, and then ask the other party to accept your own heir, will it cost less money?
In fact, if there is no association to enforce it, every magician must teach at least two formal magicians in his life, and I am afraid that there will be many people who are not willing to teach at all. If you want to ask such a person to take in an apprentice, unless you have a special or quite high magical talent, this kind of magician will still maintain the original idea of being afraid of trouble.
Otherwise, when you encounter the kind of magician who accepts apprentices extensively, what you look at is actually the power behind each apprentice, that is, the benefits and money that can be provided. Usually under this kind of person, if the family power is not top-notch, the heirs who are usually sent in will not be well cared for and taught.
Although Orange Fruit Eaton Academy also accepts a wide range of disciples, it teaches magic apprentices who have passed the first ring assessment in 'four months', which has surpassed most magicians. Therefore, for most of them, who do not have a better choice, such as who in the family is loyal to a certain magician, or who is sure that the person they send out will be well cared for and learned, it seems that it is not bad to send them to the academy.
Does that sound like the academy is about to start exploding in students?
Not really. For the academy, there are still a few hurdles to be checked. First of all, of course, the person who sent it in had to have a talent for magic. In Wulian City, or some relatively wealthy families, it is not difficult to obtain the talent stone for the test. They had to prove that the offspring they had sent in had a talent for magic.
Although for Lin, learning mathematics, nature, and language does not require magical talents, he also hopes that these knowledge will be more popular. But that kind of stride is too big, and a certain traverser doesn't want to become fat in one bite for the time being, because if you do that, the chance of dying is greater.
And the second level is to check whether these magic apprentices who want to enroll are the students of a certain magician? In addition to being found in Sita, which specializes in managing apprentices, this information also requires students to sign a letter of shutting with the family behind them, stating that they have never worshipped any magicians as teachers.
After all, teaching someone else's magic apprenticeship is a big taboo; It is also taboo for an apprentice to join someone else without his consent. Although Sita kept all the information on the magician's apprentices, this was officially registered; Not to mention the black households, what about the associations in other sub-districts? How do you count that?
Therefore, in this aspect of the investigation, Lin Ke was careful and careful, and did not want the academy to be planted in this kind of dispute. Not to mention whether they can win or not, these magicians who come to find trouble, any death or injury to the group of students who are studying alone will extend to the consequences of considerable trouble.
However, among so many people who come to ask for advice, there are also people who don't know the situation and slap the table as soon as they meet.
Sitting in the dean's room on the third floorβthe dean was personally named by the president, Orange Fruit Eton, although he had never visited since the establishment of the academyβin it, Lin personally received a group of powerful nobles in Wulian City.
These people were almost all radicals among Rienatitov's followers, and they were also the group of people who had previously coveted all the techniques and pressures exerted by all sides.
But the performance of the leader who slapped the table did not seem to communicate well with the companions who came together, and many people also had stunned expressions. The man said, "Who do you think you are when you come to this shitty place, what kind of contract do you have to sign, and abide by some bullshit conditions?" The Grand Magician Juan Javier is also qualified to say these words to me. I can afford to come to you, don't be ignorant, you have to want to go east and west. β
Holding the pen in the air, he looked stupidly at the man who suddenly broke in and suddenly slapped the table and yelled. After holding it for a while, Lin thought of what to say back, and said, "This adult, you hate the child you will send in next." β
"What! How could it be, that was my sister-in-law, my future heir. When it comes to his own children, even the most vexatious men will soften their expressions and show a proud smile.
"But if you entrust such an important heir to the academy, doesn't it mean that you trust the academy's teaching quality. But if you talk to us in such a tone today, you are not afraid of what will happen to your children? β
looked at the other party as if he understood, showing a look of remorse. His voice trembled, and he said, "You...... You're threatening. β
Listening to his cousin's weakness without raising his head, Lin said: "Of course this is a threat, but it is also a statement of facts. Do you know how many magic apprentices are missing or killed every year in a five-link city? Last year, there were 476 apprentices in DCLXXVI, and then they disappeared without a trace. The total number of apprentices in Wulian City is xbarmmdccclxv (12,865), which means that out of every 100 apprentices, four will be missing, and no one knows whether they died or ran. Can you guarantee that you won't be in danger when you're in the academy? β
"This ...... Isn't that what you should be committing? β
"I only promised that I would take good care of every child who came into the academy, but I didn't dare to say how safe they were. After all, magic is a technique that changes the rules of nature and can be used to kill quickly and efficiently. Learning such things will inevitably lead to accidents. It's just that at that time, it was clear who could be offended and who should be relied upon. β
"That'...... Then what do you mean by saying that you are not allowed to go home at any time and that you are not allowed to send a servant to take care of it? β
"If you just teach magic and can't stand any constraints and toil, then it's good to live in your own home. Then, as in the past, find a way to invite a magician to teach at home. Why bother sending it to the academy? β
Looking at the person who spoke, the more he said, the more confident he became, Lin Du was a little too lazy to talk to the other party, and said: "The most precious place of Orange Fruit Eton Academy is the management methods of the academy and the magicians who teach. Everyone else can accept such conditions, but if you can't accept it, my lord, I can only say that I am sorry. β
