Chapter 305 Luther's Magic
Pompeii Territory, villages outside the city.
The sky was gloomy and it was still drizzling.
But it was May now, and the weather was hot, so it was okay to get wet.
Previously, the villages outside the city of Pompeii Territory were divided into ten villages and twenty villages. But with the expansion of Pompeii, this organization had long been disrupted.
The earliest Pompeii villages merged into Pompeii Village No. 0, so there are currently twenty-one villages outside Pompeii.
The population of these twenty-one villages was about 12,000 at the beginning. After more than three years of development, the teenagers became young people.
The adult population has reached about 13,000, and with the reproduction, there are 10,000 people aged one to seventeen in these twenty-one villages.
A very high fertility rate.
So Luther set up eight schools in this area outside the city. Five of them are knight schools, and three are ordinary primary schools.
At this time, there is still a month before the start of school, and the children and teenagers who intend to enter school have already registered and are just waiting for enrollment. But today, Luther held an event.
It was called "Meeting with Governor White Eagle".
Luther built a temporary platform on a vacant lot and prepared to give a speech. The target audience was a large number of children and teenagers.
So although it was raining at the moment, the teenagers and children from the village still came here in large numbers.
Large numbers of teenagers and children held umbrellas and gathered in front of the platform, quietly waiting for the appearance of Governor White Eagle.
The teenagers and children also had a wooden sign around their necks, on which were written their names and the name of the village.
Ah Dai and Jin Bi were among them.
"Ah Dai, let me tell you, I met the Governor in the first year I came to Pompeii." Jin Bi held a big black umbrella, covering himself and Ah Dai, and said excitedly.
Jin Bi had actually said this for no less than eighty times, but Jin Bi was still very excited, and Ah Dai listened patiently.
Ah Dai was a good listener.
Gold Coin said with saliva flying, as if he had returned to that day.
He sat by the river in a daze. Luther, Pompey, the great Silver Wing Governor, came to Pompey Village No. 1 with a few followers and bent down to talk to him.
Perhaps that day was just a picture of life for that lord.
But for Gold Coin, it was the most important moment in life. At that time, Gold Coin felt that living in Pompey was so safe, and he was determined to serve the Pompey family if he had the chance.
"It's so cool to serve the White Eagle Family." Gold Coin looked at the two flags on the platform excitedly, and the flags were embroidered with the emblem of the Pompey family.
Pompey is now also called the White Eagle Family.
The platform is a simple wooden platform, and there is a tent behind the platform. At this moment in the tent, Luther was sitting on a chair in a very polite outfit, Lelouch was sitting next to him, and there were city hall officials and some knights around him.
The drizzle was so fine that it made no sound when it fell on the tent. The tent was very quiet.
"Luther, why are you doing this?" Lelouch asked in confusion.
What's the point of going up on the stage and giving a speech in front of so many teenagers and children?
And why should we put wooden signs around the necks of teenagers and children and write the names of their villages and names?
Is it meaningful?
And this is not the end of Luther's action.
Luther's plan is to give a tour speech throughout the White Eagle Territory, targeting all the people who have registered for admission to the school.
"You'll know in a moment." Luther patted Lelouch on the shoulder, then smiled and walked out of the tent and stepped onto the simple stage.
The stage was open-air, so the drizzle fell directly on Luther, soaking his hair and clothes.
Luther looked up at the crowd of teenagers and children in front of him, then smiled and said, "Hello, the future of White Eagle."
"Hello, Mr. Governor."
The teenagers and children in the audience didn't know which clever guy shouted, and greetings came one after another. Jinbi shouted the most vigorously, waving his empty left hand, his little face flushed.
He was as excited as chasing stars in China.
"I called you here today because I plan to convey my thoughts. I believe that everyone, whether civilians or nobles, has the right to receive education. So I established countless schools and let you enroll for free. After acquiring knowledge, the biggest benefit is that you can find a decent job in the future and live a middle-class life. If you become a knight, then congratulations, you will have the opportunity to serve me in the future."
In this fine raindrop, Luther said a lot of words, but the core is actually very brief.
I give you the opportunity.
Whether you can rise to prominence depends on your own efforts.
When the speech was over, the children and teenagers all seemed to understand it vaguely. Of course, the younger people understood less, and the older people understood more.
But whether they understood or not, the teenagers and children clapped their hands and gave warm applause to the Governor.
Soon after, Luther arranged for officials to send the teenagers back to their respective villages.
After returning to the tent, Luther sent the others away and left Lelouch. He greeted a wizard apprentice and said, "Cast a soundproof barrier."
"Okay, Governor." The apprentice nodded, cast a soundproof barrier, and walked out tactfully.
"What is your purpose?" Lelouch was very curious.
Luther came to the table and sat down, then took out a pen and paper and began to write. He wrote the names of eight people, including gold coins and Ah Dai.
And their respective attributes.
"Our knight school has no means to detect people's knight attributes, and such means are often very expensive. So although the knight school we opened is divided into classes according to attributes, such as the flame class, the wind class, etc., it is taught randomly. People with the right attributes will of course have smooth sailing. Those with the wrong attributes can also become knights after eight or nine years. As for these eight people, I hope you can arrange them to enter the class that matches their attributes without making a fuss."
Luther handed the written paper to Lelouch.
"Luther, you just said a lot of words that the children may not understand, and then detected the attributes of more than 10,000 people?"
Lelouch was stunned.
As we all know, it is very difficult to detect a person's knight attribute, and it costs a lot of money.
Just like the Pompeii family and the Iron Horse family in the past, no matter what the attributes of the family members were, they all practiced the earth fighting spirit.
Of course, because of the bloodline of the Pompeii family, the possibility of members obtaining the earth fighting spirit attribute after birth is very high, but there are also members with other attributes born.
As a result, those attribute members were buried.
For example, Magellan and Xiu Xiuya father and son have thunder attributes.
Although the fighting spirit cultivated by the father and son does not match the original attribute, it will not kill people, but it will be counterproductive. Some people have excellent talents, but they may gradually become mediocre because of this.
And Luther just stood on the stage, without any magic fluctuations, and detected the attributes of more than 10,000 people?
Oh my God.
Am I dreaming?
