Chapter 738 Imperial Academy

In the days after that, there were no abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual network. Daniel had already started to investigate the rumors about the vision, while Gawain continued to pay attention to the situation at home and abroad, and paid attention to the huge imperial machine he built. The operation of the , time, then quietly passed in between.

On the first rest day of the foggy moon, the weather is rare and sunny.

Cecil City today has something to celebrate.

The brilliance of the giant sun dispelled the thin clouds in the sky, and the bright sun shone on the streets of Cecil in winter. The beaming citizens in thick winter clothes gathered and gathered into a stream of people in the mage area in the southern part of the city.

A new and large-scale building stands at the end of this block, next to the building complex of the Mage District, next to the Rune Research Institute and the Magic Technology Research Institute, facing the block avenue and the semicircle of the Mage District. The "Learning Square" of the building is like a crown worn in the Nancheng District, receiving the observation and cheers of the citizens.

Imperial College will be officially opened today.

The guard of honor lined up in a heroic line on the Knowledge Square. A high rostrum was set up in the early hours of the morning. Long cloth curtains with black and blue shading and golden sword and plow emblems hung on both sides of the high platform. Under the rising sun, there was a solemn radiance, and four white knights with thick armor stood on both sides of the high platform. When Gawain in a dress appeared, the white knights and the soldiers lined up in the square turned their bodies at the same time. , salute their loyal monarch in a collision of metal armor.

Before Gawain walked up to the high platform, he turned his head and glanced at the building that was about to be put into use behind the high platform.

The castle-like main building of Imperial College is standing in the bright sky. The two annexed buildings on both sides of the main building and the four minarets around the college are shining in the sun. In the college, the new fountains, flower beds and squares are quiet. The rotating large-scale magic obelisks are scattered, mixing the classical mysterious atmosphere and the unique beauty of the modern magic industry.

Gawain couldn't help but think of the low brick buildings, fenced walls, dusty squares, and wooden shacks that swayed when the wind blew.

It's really different.

With the development of the southern border, especially the reorganization of the old Ansu Kingdom, many of the foundations that Gawain laid in Cecil City are becoming insufficient, especially those emergency infrastructures in the past are facing upgrading and transformation. hard requirements.

Cecil General College once trained the first batch of key intellectuals for the southern border and completed the first four-year literacy task. Now, with the gradual increase in the population of Cecil City, the demand for higher-level education continues to increase. Scholars from all over the north continued to pour in, and the humble academy was gradually overwhelmed.

To this end, Gawain began planning and building a larger-scale capital college a year ago as the most important "model education facility" in the new order he created. The college was originally named "Cecile". Higher Academy", but after the establishment of the empire, its name was finally named "Imperial Academy", and a series of late adjustments were made for the new imperial situation. Today, it finally ushered in the day for the public.

As an "advanced" institution of Cecil General College, Imperial College will be able to accommodate more students and will carry out higher-level education. In the early stage, it was divided into four branches, focusing on magic technology, Cultural knowledge, extraordinary education, and modern military four areas, including rune literature, mechanics, grammar, history, law, magic, alchemy, society, nature, military strategy, modern weapons and other disciplines, and even can It is said that the entire new order created by Gawain has been included in the entire set of huge and complex systems of this academy.

This college will be open to everyone, just like the previous Cecil General College, it is an institution that does not consider the background of scholars and prohibits any differential education.

Of course, the previous Cecil General College was not abandoned because of the establishment of Imperial College. It still remains and has undergone some renovations and renovations. It is only two blocks away from the new Imperial College and will continue to undertake To perform the functions of literacy education and basic education, and to provide educational opportunities for those who do not have any foundation or have a weak foundation.

In a sense, the General Academy can be regarded as a path specially reserved for the low-level civilians to enter the Imperial Academy. The low-level civilians without any foundation will definitely not be able to keep up with the professional education of the Imperial Academy, nor will they be able to compete with those who have a knowledge base in higher-level institutions. However, they can fill the gap in this area at the General Academy, and the recommendation letters and scholarships from the General Academy will also be a boost to help civilians enter the Academy.

This is an imperfect but effective "patch measure" set up by Gawain under the current social structure.

Gawain came to the high platform prepared for him, with a sincere smile on his face, his eyes slowly swept across the countless people gathered in the square.

Cheers sounded from all directions, and everyone in the square shouted happily and saluted the founder of the empire.

"Citizens, welcome here, and I am delighted to announce to you that a new facility for the benefit of the Cecil will be opened today, right behind me..."

In the crowd in the square, a young man with short brown hair stood in an inconspicuous corner, looking up at Emperor Cecil who was speaking on the high platform like everyone else.

But unlike others, although the young man also had respect in his eyes, he seemed more calm, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Huge holographic images stood on both sides of the square, and the voice amplified by the magic device resounded throughout the square. Every time Gawain Cecil uttered a few words, there would be bursts of cheers from the surrounding area, which made the young He couldn't help but raised his head and looked around. He looked curiously at the excited and joyful people, feeling the strange enthusiasm radiated from everyone, and finally couldn't help touching a passerby beside him:

"Such a grand gathering... Did everyone gather spontaneously? How did you know there was a gathering today?"

The passerby who was encountered turned his head and glanced at the young man, and asked loudly, "Are you a foreigner?"

The loud voice of the person in front of him seemed to make the young man a little uncomfortable. He took a small step back indiscernibly, but he still had a gentle and polite smile on his face: "I... Really come from another place."

"Then it's normal for you to be unfamiliar," the loud-voiced passerby said with a happy smile, "this kind of gathering is a major event in Cecil City, and gatherings usually display various novelties, or more important New Deals. , of course everyone is interested. There will be newspapers to promote the rally before the start of the rally, and then the magic web broadcast will announce the news. Basically, as long as people who don't stay in the house all day and don't go out and read the newspaper, will know about the rally. matter……"

The young man showed a sudden realization: "So that's the case..."

The loud passerby glanced at him again, suddenly curious: "Hey, boy, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to study," the young man said with a smile, and raised his finger in the direction of Imperial College, "I'm going there."

"Huh, that's incredible!" The loud-voiced passerby suddenly widened his eyes, "Then you will definitely have a bright future in the future."

The young man blinked: "Why do you say that?"

"It's a simple truth, the more things you know when you go to school, and the more you know, you can find a good job. In factories, government affairs offices, and the military, you need to be able to write well in these decent places. The passerby said with a smile, showing a hint of pride, "You are like me, I used to be a coolie in the mountains, but now I work as a mechanic in a factory because I went to night school..."

The young man was a little dazed listening to the loud voice in front of him saying these words to himself, and gradually became a little surprised.

These are some superficial "reasons", but they are "reasons" after all.

An ordinary civilian, with such a confident and happy appearance, said these "reasons" to himself, which was really an unprecedented experience for him.

"Anyway, young man, you should study hard," the loud passerby suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder twice, "I can see that you are capable, this place welcomes capable ones. Man, that's what Master Godwin said... by the way, it's a good time!"

The young man's eyes widened in astonishment when the other's hand was about to pat his shoulder. Still firmly patted on his shoulder.

The strong impact from the shoulder made the young man's body sway twice. He showed a strange expression for a moment, and then covered it with a slightly stiff smile. After a few words at random, he turned sideways. , squeezed out of the crowd.

He was about to walk towards the edge of the square, leave here unobtrusively from a certain path, and return to his temporary residence, but just after taking a few steps, he stopped as if sensing something.

The young man raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. In the bright sunlight, he saw two figures walking not far away.

One of them was a blond man of his own age, but he didn't know him.

The other is a man wearing a dark blue silk coat, with short silver hair and a cheerful smile.

He knew this.

It's someone else's child.

The heir to the Duchess of the North, Fendilveld.

That unique and cold magical aura is hard to admit, and the young heir to the north has obviously not learned the essence of Duchess Victoria's control of magic. He appeared in the square, and the vague magic fluctuations were completely hidden. not live.

The young man with short brown hair smiled and walked towards the two not far away, and the other party had obviously noticed this. Before he could speak, the heir of the North had already waved his hand and said loudly. exclaimed: "Eleven! Are you really here?"

Elaine Franklin stepped forward quickly, frowning slightly: "Fendil shouting so loudly in the square is not what a Marquis should do."

"Don't be like this, I managed to get out of my aunt's sight after a long time," Fendilveld immediately waved his hand, "and is it the Marquis's style to watch the meeting in the crowd?"

Beside the two, the blond young man Philm was going to say hello to his friend's friend, but now his eyes widened a little dully. He looked at Fendil, and then at the man called "Eleven" in front of him. the stranger, and finally his eyes fell on Fendil: "...Ah?"

"...Damn, I haven't figured out how to say it yet," Fendil also reacted suddenly, couldn't help but press his forehead, and stared at Elaven again, "This is the first time you screwed me up. thing?"

Elaine was stunned for a moment, as if he had guessed something, he looked at Philm, who was still at a loss, and then at Fendil: "Then this is..."

"My traveling companion, we met on the Highlander. The Highlander is a magical mechanical ship, you know, it's..."

"I know the mechanical boat, I have ridden on the White Water River," Elaine shook his head helplessly, "So, you didn't tell this traveling companion your identity?"

"I don't want to ruin this rare trip," Fendil smiled bitterly and turned to Film, "I'm sorry, Film, but I didn't mean to hide it, I just didn't want the status of the heir of the Duke of the North to affect us. It's not easy to meet a friend outside the castle."

"The heir to the Duke of the North..." The blond young man from Barron finally confirmed the words he heard, and the huge shock even made him feel a little suffocated, "God... So your full name is..."

"Fendil Wilder," Fendil said, then pointed to Elaine next to him, "This is Elaine, the Marquis of Franklin, the son of the Duke of the West, ah, I should introduce his title and his title in detail on this occasion. many honorary titles, but that is too much trouble, so this step is omitted.

"Eleven, the one in front of you is Mr. Philm from Barron, the creator of the ghost play, an outstanding playwright... At least that's what I think."

Philm's eyes jumped between the two duke heirs again. As a person who aspires to be an outstanding playwright, he suddenly questioned his ability to write scripts at this moment.

In the face of dramatic reality, his imagination as a playwright was suddenly a little insufficient.
