Chapter 231 Leon has great ambitions (two in one!)
Leon put forward a new idea for the preparation of the Antolia High School of Magic.
It seems to be to prove his good character of honesty and trustworthiness, and it seems to be to prove his desire to fulfill his promise.
Early the next morning.
When the sky just showed a hint of fish belly white, the sleepy Albert was awakened by the waiter sent by Leon.
Although elderly people often have trouble sleeping, they usually wake up early in the morning.
But the problem was that Albert was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep all night, so he simply picked up a magic book and flipped through it until daybreak.
As a result, as soon as he lay down, he was disturbed by the men sent by Leon.
So when the archmage finally saw Leon with an excited face in the study, he was still a little confused.
"Teacher!"
At this moment, Leon's eyes seemed to be shining with a different kind of luster.
As he spoke, Leon reached out and handed a manuscript whose ink had not yet been dried into Albert's hands.
"This is..."
"This is a plan for the establishment of the Antolia High School of Magic that Aaron and I drafted overnight." Leon said seriously.
"Plan?"
This time, Albert really didn't expect that his lord would act so quickly.
But this is exactly where Leon's train of thought lies.
Just like yesterday on the side of the shadow monster trap, he first laid out all the difficulties that would be faced in preparing to build the academy, thus making Albert understand one thing.
That is, except for magic, his abilities in other aspects are not outstanding.
After all, there are many aspects to consider when planning a college.
These extremely scattered and trivial matters naturally made this proud archmage realize his own shortcomings for the first time, and even produced a series of emotions that made him feel helpless.
And then...
Leon appeared at the right place at the right time.
This gave Albert a very definite idea, that is, without Leon, or without the support of the Jimena family, the Antolia High School of Magic would not be able to be established no matter what.
This can probably be regarded as a type of ppt.
After a long silence, Albert wondered:
"Why is the location of the Antolia High School of Magic located on the edge of the new city in the Thorn Territory?"
Of course it is to raise land prices!
When he heard Albert's question, the answer immediately flashed in Leon's mind.
However, he still gave his answer very sincerely:
"Because this is bound to become the first and largest magic training academy in the entire Kingdom of Andal, and even the entire Northern Continent. If it is imprisoned in the city, , doesn’t it mean that a limited area has been designated before construction has started?”
Leon gave a matter-of-fact answer, and there seemed to be a little blame in his eyes, which made Albert feel that his previous thoughts seemed to be somewhat different. Have a little bit of a petty attitude.
Look at the plan of the Marquis!
In Leon's preliminary idea, the Antolia High School of Magic will have four major colleges under its jurisdiction at the beginning of its establishment.
They are Potions School, Magic Engineering School, Ancient Magic School and Continuing Education School.
The planned area is equivalent to almost a quarter of Briar Ridge New Town.
It is expected to accommodate more than...1,500 mage apprentices?
Albert couldn't help but take a breath of Norton Noble.
This number is somewhat outrageous. I'm afraid the entire Andal Kingdom can only muster so many people, right?
"As long as the mage apprentice is willing to come, Antolia is willing to accept all orders!"
Leon waved his hand and said without hesitation.
Plans are plans, reality is reality.
Leon's ambition has always been very big. After all...how can he draw a big pie if he is not big?
According to Leon's estimation, it would be a blessing to have thirty people enrolled in the first year, and it would be a celebration to be able to trick fifty people.
In addition, there were a lot of various rules and regulations and positioning requirements on the manuscript, many of which made Albert more and more surprised the more he read.
"I'm going to visit the other archmages and mages?"
After a moment of silence, Albert stared at a request drawn up by Leon and pointed at himself with some confusion.
"With each additional mage, the probability of success increases." "
Today's Antolia is no longer the same. If the teacher can personally take action, the news of Antolia High School of Magic will spread throughout the kingdom. , and even asked the mages you are familiar with to actively donate, I believe this matter will definitely go smoothly."
Leon put on a good look for you.
"Donate enthusiastically?"
"Yes!"
Leon nodded with confidence:
"If a mage is willing to donate to support the construction of the Magic Academy, then his name will be engraved on the completion monument of the Antolia Higher Magic Academy. , the name of the library of this magic academy will also be named after the mage who donated the most."
After all, planning to build a magic academy and developing an abandoned land are two different things.
Even after the bonds are issued, Leon can use his hands to misappropriate part of the funds quietly, but the amount will not be too much after all.
So...
if you can get more money, get more money.
And this is the core idea that Leon outlined in the process of establishing the Antolia High School of Magic!
You know, even a great mage like Albert can be attracted by the beautiful blueprint drawn by Leon.
Leon didn't believe it. Could it be that the other mages weren't moved at all?
No way, right?
Walking out of Leon's study, Albert seemed to be able to feel his heart beating violently.
But after a moment, he seemed to suddenly realize something.
That is...
Although Leon said it well, after these repeated detours, why did the task of going out to raise money fall on his head so easily?
...
As a benchmark city built by the Jimena family in the abandoned land, Fort Wilson, located northwest of the Moon Shadow Forest, has always been the focus of the Jimena family's construction.
With a leafy world tree as the center, newly built houses are springing up in this city like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Once upon a time, the leafy World Tree was the symbol of the elves.
And now...
compared to the World Tree growing in the Moon Shadow Forest, the one growing in Fort Wilson seems to truly reflect the vitality of the World Tree.
With the arrival of midsummer, a rich greenery seems to cover the entire city with the extension of its branches.
In the distance, the hazy black mist seemed to be mixed with a suppressed breath of death.
But nearby, the noise of the crowd reached Leon's ears one after another. Leon has always felt that the Antolians are the most creative people in this land.
This is not a narrow regional concept, but a broad identity.
Under the governance of the Jimena family, or rather Leon, Antolia is no longer just a remote noble territory on the edge of the kingdom.
This place is indeed far away from the hinterland of the kingdom, but it is full of choices and opportunities.
And as a city that was just developed and built by the Antolians, Fort Wilson is even more so.
The city walls are being built and the buildings are being extended.
The entire city is like a huge construction site, and the branches and leaves of the World Tree cover most of the city, blocking the blazing sun from the city, so that the efficiency of the workers is greatly improved.
Improving the working environment is a yes.
At this moment, a huge team that had never been seen before had already passed through the Bergoli Pass and appeared outside the city of Fort Wilson.
The first person to react was the skeleton outside the city.
Looking at the long team, the skeletons put down their hoes, tilted their heads, and seemed to be a little confused in their empty eyes.
There are so many people...
The skeletons have never seen so many people.
So much so that they seemed to have some disagreements about continuing to farm and observing humans, which directly caused the skeletons to start cracking each other's necks, and from time to time they could even pull off a head.
Leon looked at the ridiculous scene happening among the skeletons from a distance, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
Since sending Albert away, Leon has personally led the soldiers of Antolia and escorted countless prisoners of war from the Kingdom of Walras towards Fort Wilson.
It must be said that although it has only been a few months, the changes in Fort Wilson are nothing short of amazing.
Although defensive facilities such as city walls are just in their infancy, there is actually the prototype of a large, even giant, city.
As long as these prisoners of war from the Kingdom of Walras are added to the team building the city, Fort Wilson's labor force is bound to usher in a new round of surge.
You know, compared to other cities under the Jimena family, what Leon valued most about Fort Wilson was the construction of the city wall.
After all...
even now, no one can tell how many races exist in the abandoned land.
Not only Leon doesn't know, but even the moon elves who have lived in the abandoned land for generations also don't know the answer to this question.
Before the black mist filled this land, there were humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and even giant dragons on this land...
But now...
the pervasive black mist blocks sight and cuts off contact.
If it weren't for the Antorians, relying on the shadow manipulator that can dispel the black fog, they would have set foot on this land again.
The elves will probably be sealed in the Moon Shadow Forest and continue their lives shrouded in black mist.
However, not all races are like the proud moon elves.
Such as shadow monsters.
According to the moon elves, the shadow monsters gathered in the abandoned land often riot. The elves call this phenomenon the shadow monster riot.
You must know that not all shadow monsters are as harmless to humans and animals as those low-level shadow monsters captured by shadow monster traps.
As the shadow monsters devour the black mist, their appearance and characteristics will undergo some special changes under the influence of the black mist.
The elves call this specialization.
Why are the shadow monsters that Leon stuffed into the ancient archives disappear?
Isn't it because the shadow monster transformed into some kind of special entity similar to a black beetle after swallowing a large amount of black mist?
But in Leon's view, this change is not without benefits.
Because this kind of shadow monster that undergoes specific changes can randomly drop enchanting materials after death!
This is really good stuff!
Whether it is a melee weapon or a long-range weapon, whether it is enchanted or not, the lethality it can bring to the enemy is completely different, and it has already been verified in actual combat!
Therefore, what Leon is most concerned about is not the shadow monster riots themselves, but the frequency, time and possible locations of the shadow monster riots.
After all, even the self-proclaimed elves can resolutely hold on amidst the shadow monster riots again and again. Presumably, for the Antolian people, getting some benefits from this should not be too big a deal. Get through difficult things.
...
Todd stood in front of the gate of Fort Wilson.
Looking at the Marquis coming from afar, and looking at the workers behind Leon, the veteran's face lit up with joy almost instantly.
You must know that after the Lapluke Legion led by Andrew withdrew one after another, as a key project of the Jimena family in recent years, Todd, the former mercenary leader, personally guarded here, so much so that he was absent from the previous few days. The investiture ceremony.
Tens of thousands of prisoners of war are enough to be transformed into nearly a hundred production and construction brigades. The huge population can completely take the deterrence of the Antolian people to a higher level!
"I plan to use these people to build the walls of Fort Wilson first. Fort Wilson can be said to be under full military management now. Even if there are a lot of prisoners of war, they will never be able to build it in this land surrounded by black mist. There will be too big a storm."
He vowed the first time he saw Leon.
There are tens of thousands of prisoners of war. Even if Leon has full confidence in the ability to assimilate the Antolian culture, to be honest, it is absolutely impossible not to worry.
This is why he placed all the prisoners of war in abandoned places.
As long as the Bergori Pass is under the control of the Antolians, nothing will happen to the Abandoned Land!
In addition, the Walras people have always believed in respecting the strong.
As the defeated generals of the Antolians, Leon is also confident that these tough prisoners of war will become members of the Antolians.
"You deserve the medal!"
Leon expressed no doubt about Todd's assurance.
He just stretched out his hand and handed the carefully carved Arthur Jimena medal in front of Todd.
However, compared to the harmonious communication between Leon Todd, the mood of the prisoners of war was not calm.
Just like this moment.
There was clearly an emotion that could even be called fear on their faces.
Putting aside the surrounding black fog, the skeletons carrying hoes alone were enough to shut down the brains of the prisoners of war on the spot.
What kind of person is everyone in Antolia?
Almost as soon as they set foot on this land, the prisoners of war had such thoughts in their minds.
Even though they were used to fighting in the Kingdom of Walras, everything in the abandoned land was completely beyond the limits of their imagination... The computers were out of service for the past two days, and the mobile phones were typing. It felt so
awkward and the speed was so slow. , it should be back to normal tomorrow.
