Chapter 876 [0873] Overall Planning

The three giants took over the re-education plan that Kalya had prepared long ago with great expectations. After opening it, they felt that it was more and more familiar.

How to say it...

Kalya's plan looks like a replica of the first generation of the training plan for the Archon - the core content is only one, which is "exchanging knowledge for loyalty".

In simple terms, Demacia can accept foreign mages and provide special adult education services for these wild mages from different backgrounds, so that they can sort out their own magic system and better master magic.

As a price, the mages participating in adult education need to sign relevant service contracts with Demacia and provide services to Demacia under the premise of complying with the relevant laws of Demacia.

Kalya calls this targeted training.

According to the description in the plan, the time for targeted training should be three to five years. The targeted training courses for mages will consist of three parts: magic theory, spellcasting practice and political culture - although it is difficult for adult foreign mages to sincerely identify with the culture of Demacia like the local mages of Demacia, necessary learning is still inevitable.

Moreover, considering the particularity of adult education, the plan also comes with work arrangements for related relatives, and even mentions the construction of a new city.

In Kalya's view, accepting foreign mages is also a valuable opportunity for Demacia. Through this opportunity, Demacia can build a new city in the area east of Greenfang Peak to accept outsiders.

The outsiders here can include not only mages who come to Demacia for further studies, but also other related technical talents. Kalya initially chose the location east of Greenfang Peak and south of Urwendale, and its main purpose is to absorb talents from the Principality of Valoran.

After putting down the plan, Lux thought for a while and clearly realized what Kalya meant - this not only involves the acceptance of wild mages, but also involves the absorption and recruitment of talents from the entire Principality of Valoran and the city-state.

Even from the words "other learners" that were not detailed in the plan, she also discovered Kalya's purpose of exerting political influence on the Principality of Valoran through this plan.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty?" The more Lux thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was like the tip of an iceberg that had emerged from the water, and a large part was hidden under the water. "Many industries have not yet completed their migration to the south, and now we have to build a new city... Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"With the current excess production capacity in the North, the migration of industries to the south alone is not enough to satisfy everyone's appetite." A big smile appeared on Kalya's mask. "Demacia has even had some indigestion just relying on trade in the North. Before Shurima is unified and the Shurima market is fully opened, you must find a new and vast market for Demacia."

"The market within Demacia is very vast." Lux still didn't understand. "As long as the industry continues to migrate south, as the south also accepts magic French industrial industry, soon more farmers will leave the land, and then they will support the vast internal market of Demacia..."

"That will take at least a generation." Kalya interrupted Lux, "You can prepare carefully for twenty years in Fosbyro, but Fosbyro today can't wait. It is changing with each passing day, and all output must find a large enough market to digest it. Otherwise, once it stagnates, it will inevitably form a terrible collapse due to internal competition... the kind I told you about."

Lux didn't speak, but recalled some of the Shurima stories that Kalya occasionally told her - in the Shurima Empire, when the method of using the sun disk was known and the Shurima Empire had not yet had a population explosion, the empire had a brief glorious era.

According to Kalya, people called it the Golden Age at that time.

But in fact, if the Golden Age is placed in history, it is not difficult to find that many of the stubborn problems that later plagued the Shurima Empire were actually brewing in this era.

The Sun Disc gave the Shurimans energy they could use at will, and all kinds of extravagant energy consumption methods began to emerge in large numbers. In the golden age when the population had not yet exploded and there were only a handful of super-giant cities, these extravagant enjoyments could be enjoyed by almost everyone.

But as a price, with the end of the short golden age, the surge in population and the increase in large cities made the energy that once seemed endless gradually become difficult, and the Sun Disc could no longer support the enjoyment of all Shurimans. However, people who had experienced the golden age would still take prosperity for granted, and the Shurima Empire failed to find a new breakthrough in a short period of time.

The prosperity of this period greatly accelerated the crisis of energy collapse in the Shurima Empire. If there had not been this golden age, perhaps the Shurima Empire could really hold on very smoothly until the cultivation of the rune tree in Karya was completed and the rune industry completely replaced the Sun Disc, thus supporting the Shurima Empire to move towards the astral world.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

"If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries." Lux sighed, obviously understanding what Kalya meant, "Demacia also needs to keep moving forward."

"Demacia and Demacians need it." Kalya nodded with a smile, "And, my dear Majesty Laxana, don't you realize that as the Emperor of Demacia, you seem to be too selfless and ignore your identity as an emperor."

"?"

"Sending troops to Freljord, but getting no benefit, how long can the domestic discussion of this matter be suppressed?"

Lux blinked.

At this moment, she finally realized a key problem-when she focused on the void creations in Freljord, the Demacians behind her probably did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

They did not understand the void, so they could not understand the threat of the void to Runeland at all. From their perspective, all Lux did was to gather troops inexplicably and then go to fight a potentially very tragic war thousands of miles away.

Realizing this, Lux's expression was a little stiff, because she also found that she could not reveal the part behind the Freljord expedition to the public-the characteristics of the void determined that the fewer people knew about it, the better. Lux could not directly explain the possible threats caused by the void in the spring speech or the winter speech.

If things really develop to that point, I'm afraid it means all-out war!

Thinking of this, Lux couldn't help but rub her temples with her fingers.

"So, this plan is also to find a profit point for the Freljord operation?" She understood it completely, "A reason that at least most Demacia people can accept - for some diplomatic reasons, to expand the influence of New Demacia, which is completely different from the old Demacia?"

"Yes." Kalya nodded, "For this reason, I hope that when the Demacia army marches to the Frostguard Fortress, it will not go through Freljord."

"Not through Freljord?" Lux's eyes widened, "You mean, through the Principality of Valoran?"

"Yes." Kalya's mask showed a rather evil smile, "With the reputation of Demacia, the locals should not be worried about the occurrence of a false attack and refuse to allow the army to pass through, so this should be a show of force..."

Lux rubbed her temples, and once again felt a tearing feeling that her thoughts were being carried away by Kalya - this feeling has been missing for a long time since she ascended the throne.

"So, this plan is actually a part of the overall plan, right?" Lux took a deep breath. "To go with it, there are military displays marching eastward directly before heading to Frostguard Fortress, magic displays along the way, diplomatic visits through various countries, and the deterrence of Noxus when heading north from the Black Forest area of ​​Tuk'gul?"

Kalya nodded with a smile.

"On the one hand, this can cover up the goal of supporting Ashe and attacking void creatures, and on the other hand, it can also expand Demacia's influence among the Valoran countries and open up new sales channels for the surplus goods? In addition, a new city can be built by the way... Wait, this new city should also be part of the Freljord expedition, right? The starting point of the expedition?"

"A very good summary." Kalya's mask showed a somewhat satisfied expression, "That's it - if it's just to accept some foreign mages, there's actually no need to mobilize so many troops."

Ino and Sona next to him were a little confused.

Wait, weren't we discussing the acceptance of wild mages before?

How come they seem to be talking about Demacia's national policy strategy for at least the next five years?

What the hell is going on?

However, in addition to being surprised, they had to admit that if they followed Kalya's ideas, doing so would indeed be a lot of benefits, killing three birds with one stone - in fact, even if Kalya didn't say it, they would have thought about talking to Lux about the public opinion issue of armaments.

Although Lux didn't personally appear in the spring speech this year and didn't cause any trouble, many people still complained about it. In their opinion, although Freljord is a trading partner of Demacia, it is completely unnecessary for His Majesty the Emperor to travel thousands of miles to attend their alliance.

Those barbarians in the north... are they worthy?

Accustomed to expounding on the ruling ideas through spring and winter speeches, Lux's purpose of going north is somewhat impure, but she can't say clearly about the issue of the void, which has caused a misalignment between the public's cognition and Lux's actions.

This misalignment is not a big problem, but it is necessary to nip it in the bud. If Karya didn't mention this, then the three giants of the North would also need to come up with a charter for this.

Now, Karya buys one and gets N free. All the problems and solutions are combined by him and a big job is done.

As Karya's students, even though these three are used to Karya's eccentric way of thinking, they are still a little confused after fully understanding the overall plan.

Unfortunately, no matter how confused they are, the subsequent plan refinement and task division still have to start from the three of them.

What, why don't you say Karya do it himself?

On the one hand, Karya, who is becoming more and more like an old man, has gradually stopped participating in specific affairs.

On the other hand, he is going to Shurima next - the elemental practice of Renekton, the unlucky child, has finally achieved some results, and Karya no longer has to drag this unlucky guy in his own little world.

Congratulations, congratulations!

……………………

Considering that Jarvan IV and Sylvana were on their honeymoon, and that Demacia and Avarosa had opened a relay flight signal station at the Neuskala Pass, Kalja rode Ivar on his way south this time.

After the experience of being caught by Anivia like a loach in his palm on the Great Glacier, Ivar clearly had a strong resistance to going north.

It seemed that Anivia's claw had left an indelible psychological shadow on the poor elemental dragon, and it shivered when it saw snow again.

Although Kalja did not shy away from his own ridicule of this situation, he still understood it very well in his heart.

Elemental dragons are semi-elemental creatures, and their perception of elements is quite clear, so compared to human cognition, their perception of Anivia is more "terrifying".

In addition, Ivar was caught by Anivia himself...

It is normal for Ivar to suffer from ice and snow phobia because of this - although the elemental dragons are huge, these big guys are actually quite fragile psychologically.

Since Iva was unwilling to go to the north as a liaison, Karya simply changed its mission and let it carry him to Shurima.

Moreover, Iva had worked for him for so many years, and it was time to realize the "road to the ancient dragons" that he had promised before.

After unloading in Shurima City, Karya should go to Ixtal to prepare for Iva's ceremony of promotion to the ancient dragon, and by the way, see if he could take advantage of the situation to pull a batch of wild elemental dragons to Demacia to enrich the air force.

It was precisely because of such a series of clear plans for his subsequent itinerary that Karya threw his plans to Lux and let her figure it out. In Karya's opinion, this trip would take at least half a year, and he should prepare some directional guidance for Lux during this period.

In this way, after leaving a long and eloquent plan, Karya simply left Demacia, rode the dragon south, and headed straight for Shurima.

However, almost at the time when Kalya had just left Demacia, in Noxus, five Noxian warbands equipped with super-standard cold-proof supplies officially began to assemble.

Take care of yourself as the temperature drops...
