Chapter 12: Genius

“Time, are you faster or slower—”

The angle of time was always so strange. Unconsciously, it disappeared like flowing water.

In the magic language class, Anvis listened to the teacher’s explanation, but his mind was wandering.

After that tea party several years ago, Duke Karlos called him to the castle study for a talk, and then gave him a list.

The list listed a large number of businesses under the family. The Duke waved his hand and allowed him to choose any three businesses to run.

Carrot’s original words were: Do what you think is right. There is no need to fear failure. This property is minsicule to the family—

Anvis thought for a moment and chose a medium-sized trading business as well as two factories.

Of course, although Anvis had been given full authority in name, he only needed to control the general direction, and his subordinates would handle the specific matters.

Both factories were newly built, and the assembly line needed to be customized in the Ethel Kingdom.

The first thing Anvis did was to cancel the factory’s original production line and change it to an production line for trains.

The duke did not comment on his choice. Due to the news of the Brilliance, there was indeed a train trend everywhere.

However, this would also cause many nobles to follow the trend and build train factories. The competition would be extremely intense.

However, what the duke did not know was that Anvis’ goal was not to earn money, but to plan for the future.

The family did not pay much attention to the development of the equipment. However, the Duke had deliberately brought up the issue of the train as he was worried that it would cause the situation in the province to be unstable.

Instead, he was worried that popularization of technology will destabilize the ruling position of the family.

In fact, this disdainful attitude was also an attitude of the old nobles of the empire.

As far as they were concerned, no matter how many of these ‘moving scrap metal’ there were, they would not pose any threat to them, who possessed the power of a Ninth Ranked expert.

Due to the restrictions of materials and technology, the magic-conducting structure could only unleash the power of rank six at best.

Perhaps someone could use some special techniques to forcefully create a magical equipment that could unleash the power of a rank seven or higher.

However, this would require high-level alchemy methods and lots of precious materials. Thus, losing the purpose of constructing the item itself. Instead, it would be wiser to save the ordinary alchemical items.

On the surface, the destructive power was not even comparable to that of an ordinary rank 6 experts. No matter what, it could not pose a threat to a rank 9 who controlled the power of the world.

But Anvis knew very well that the development of technology was a trend for the future.

It had two biggest advantages—there was almost no limit for the individual strength of the operator, and it could be mass produced.

A low rank expert could instantly unleash the destructive power of an Intermediate and Advanced expert with the special magical armor.

Furthermore, with the birth of several key I-technologies, the design gradually broke through the limitations of its own power and became a huge threat that no one could ignore.

He was familiar with history, he would not allow himself to fall behind the times in this aspect. On the contrary, he had to overtake them in advance.

The production of the assembly train, the only large construct that was not classified as military by the imperial family required a massive amount of metal raw materials as well as a special super-large production line.

With these two assembly plants as cover, he could mobilize the materials on a large scale without arousing suspicion.

As long as the entire production line was modified, other large-scale war equipment could be easily produced.

Moreover, the family’s territory also needed to be industrialized with the construction of trains, and such orders were naturally better left to the family’s own factory.

“Mr. Anvis, are you listening?”

Anvis’ magic language mentor was a rank six Royal Scholar. He looked to be about fifty years old. His temples were gray, and his hairline was very high. Recently, it was also receding more.-

At this moment, he erased the magic words floating in the air and frowned slightly, looking at Anvis with dissatisfaction.

“Of course, Mr. Dave!”

Anvis quickly gathered his thoughts and answered seriously.

“Good! Then, in the language of Gomani, what does’ Ri-Ket-en ‘mean? Give me an example.”

Dave straightened his face and asked Anvis a question. Along with his question, a new line of magic text appeared, flickering weakly in the air.

“It stands for ‘gnaw, sir.’ In the incantation of the third-rank spell, ‘Digging,’ it lies in the second section of the third section.

In the scene as a title, it is specially used to refer to [The Squirrel on the World Tree]. ”

“…Exactly.”

Mr. Dave was very confused. He felt that Anvis was day dreaming, but no matter what questions he asked, Anvis could answer them easily.

As time passed, he began to doubt his own judgment.

“Perhaps… all true geniuses are like this? He isn’t absentminded, but deep in thought?”

Mr. Dave was not the only one who had such a question. Almost every teacher who was responsible for educating Anvis felt the same way.

Slowly, when the duke asked about his studies, the tutors began to praise him, calling Anvis a true genius.

While listening to the lecture, he could also think critically.

At first, Anvis was confused.

Is that so? Then I really am a rare genius!

In the end, he had no choice but to accept this fact. While attracting the attention of the duke and his wife, he once again received Fiona’s admiring gaze.

He was not worried that the secret of his transmigration would be discovered. However, since he had passed the soul synchronization rate test, as long as he did not make it too outrageous, everything could be explained by raw talent.

As he grew older, the content of Anvis’ daily studies kept changing.

Linguistics was upgraded to magic linguistics, and the language taught was Gomani.

This language had been passed down since the ancient Magic Empire, and the symbols themselves contained mysterious power. It was the most widely used magic language on the continent.

Anvis learned from his memories that after mastering this language, there was the High Elves language, Dragon language, Ancient Dragon language, and Titan language.

Apart from that, there were additional music and art projects to learn in the morning. The time to learn etiquette was halved and the social training was added.

For example, how to please a lady.

Historical studies also extended to the study of relics but the course duration remained unchanged.

The afternoon was no longer free. The four magical studies, magical materials science, runic inscription, alchemy, and mysticism took up a lot of Anvis’ time.

After the day’s lessons ended, Anvis went to the library as usual.

Due to his diligence and the increase in his strength, the duke made an exception and raised his authority.

Now, he could read most of the magic books below rank three.

In the quiet library, the thin and pale figure of the youth seemed somewhat lonely. Although the book in his hand was open, the pages did not flip for a long time.

His background was already set in stone, there was no way to change it. All these years, he had been thinking of ways to break out of this situation.

It had been a few years since Gloria adopted train passage. During this period of time, the Empire situation did not fluctuate much.

On the contrary, due to the construction of many new magic-technology factories, many citizens received income and jobs, and their lives were thriving.

But Anvis knew very well that this was only the surface. The seeds of the new era had quietly fallen, like tiny sparks pressed down by fallen leaves.

Just one gust of wind would ignite a raging fire, turning the decaying forest of the old era into ashes.

Memories from past Anvis’ first-person perspective added many details that he did not understand in the game.

Unfortunately, the memory fragments were limited and did not reveal many key details.

After a moment, he sighed and gently closed his eyes before slowly opening them again. He forced his attention back to the book.

Only in this place could he not feel those omnipresent, hidden pressures.
