Throne of Magical Arcana

"Brufly, what do you mean?" Oliver asked suspiciously. He was familiar with the languages ​​and cultures of different countries in different dimensions, but he was still powerless to Lucien's habit of coining words.

Lucien said with a serious and sincere expression: "Although the idea of ​​this kind of school comes from the apprenticeship system in the past, it is undoubtedly a brand new form. Not only does it have no personal attachment, but after graduation and entering the alchemy workshop You can still get a salary, just a little lower than normal, and the contract is longer, so I created a brand new term for it—Brufly, which is synonymous with this type of school, and it contains the meaning of dreams.”

"What's your opinion?"

Atlante kept his eyes closed, and said with a smile: "I agree with the idea of ​​promoting general education schools and such professional schools, but there is a problem. In the past apprenticeship system, as long as one apprentice was taught, the apprentice would be I will work for the alchemy workshop for ten years without compensation, and only need accommodation and food, but now Blue, Blue Fry, not only requires the alchemy workshop to invest in training funds in advance, but also asks for salary for graduated apprentices. I don’t think they will Willingly accept, barring pressure from Parliament and the Kingdom."

"Mr. Atlante, times have changed. The one-to-one or one-to-few apprenticeship system in the past can no longer meet the development needs of the current alchemy workshop. I don't need to say this, I believe you should understand it, just like the parliament The training of apprentices has basically been transformed into a school system.”

"I will lobby several companies in which I have shares, and let them invest in Quintale to build the first Brufrey. After two or three years, they will reduce costs and broaden the scope of the market with the support of a steady stream of professional workers. At that time, other alchemy workshops may still be in the predicament of insufficient manpower, and the training funds invested by the company in the early stage will be recovered from the profits they create, which is a necessary cost."

Lucien pretended not to force anyone. It was not always easy to get others to pay for it. Fortunately, he was not a young man who had just made his mark when he was lobbying for environmental protection. He had no authority, influence, or support , I have become a member of the highest judging panel with the right to make decisions, with my own power and wealth, I can completely get rid of the obstruction of others, and make a sample first for people to follow.

And the actual cost is not too much, the school site can let Natasha designate an extra monastery to make do with it, and she spends some arcane points to issue tasks for magicians and graduated apprentices to teach. Excellent ones can enter the Atomic Research Institute or study with themselves for a period of time. In this way, they will not worry about being unattractive, and from the second year onwards, the school's apprentices will be arranged to go to the Alchemy Workshop for "internship" in their spare time. Partial investment.

Seeing Lucien's attitude, Atlante and other skeptical magicians were relieved. He nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed, times have changed, and old things should be buried in the past. I suggest that the highest reviewer The regiment made a resolution on 'Brufly', encouraging the alchemy workshop to invest in the establishment but not forcing it. Evans, if you want to build it, you can count me in."

Douglas patted his palms twice: "I also agree. The Allinge Telephone and Telegraph Company, which belongs to the parliament, will take the lead in investing as an example."

Since it was not forced, all members of the highest jury raised their hands in agreement, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"There is another question. Can general education schools be popularized only with the financial support of the parliament and Holm and other countries? Will apprentices find jobs after graduation? You must know that the current apprenticeship system can almost meet the needs of alchemy workshops. Other needs besides, and they are not pre-built to be suitable for a certain alchemy workshop like the apprentices of 'Blufley', if they spend a lot of money and do not get a change in life, maybe they will Resenting the Kingdom and us, throwing ourselves into the arms of the God of Truth is completely contrary to our original intention." Atlante is a master at figuring out people's hearts.

Lucien smiled and said: "Mr. Atlante, the change of the times is a chain reaction. When there are so many alchemists, there is an increase in social wealth, and there are various alchemy items that shorten the distance between cities, the entire The structure of society will inevitably change fundamentally. Perhaps a job will be differentiated into many more refined and professional jobs, and things that were unimaginable in the past may appear. Of course, the scale of general education at the beginning will definitely be controlled and cannot be promoted blindly. To suit our own means and the state of society."

"Then I have no objection, Evans, you are sober and not aggressive at all." Atlante has no research on changes in social development, but his old partner "Master of Transformation" Erica is an excellent historian. He very much agrees with Lucien's assertion that the social division of labor will be more detailed, and after a silent exchange with Atlante, he gave up his original doubts.

The issue of general education schools was discussed for a while. Under the dazzling name of attacking the foundation of the church's beliefs, the Supreme Council finally passed this resolution, only emphasizing that it should be moderate.

"Let me add a few more words." Lucien found that he was becoming more and more "leadership" speaking, "I suggest promulgating regulations to regulate alchemy workshops, and restricting overtime and child labor. The workshop is too much to squeeze the workers, and there will be a scene of hell on earth, which will make more people join the church. It is best to work within ten hours a day. Child labor can be used, but labor must be distributed according to age..."

Due to the problems of simplification and promotion, the current alchemy workshop is in a state of powerlessness, and the dwarf artisans and human workers are still in good health. Therefore, Lucien believes that it should be the first to regulate and squeeze It will be much easier to curb this inevitable trend before workers get benefits and form a vested interest group.

As for the use of child labor, Lucien had no choice but to compromise. There is no good relief system at present, and the most important thing is for many orphans to find a job and survive. We can't blindly pursue ideals regardless of the reality, or it will harm us. Others, go too far.

"I don't think this kind of small issue is suitable for discussion at the Supreme Jury meeting." "Absolute Defense" Atuman stopped Lucien from continuing, "Regulating the alchemy workshop and treating workers well is in line with the goal of the council to establish a new image of magicians , but we only need to formulate the general direction and the final review, and the specific details will be handed over to the affairs committee to improve."

Oliver also interjected: "Evans, you are also a member of the Supreme Jury, you can instruct the affairs committee to draw up a regulation according to your ideas, and then show it to everyone. If the premise is correct, it can basically be passed. You don’t need to discuss the specific provisions with us now, everyone’s time is precious.”

Lucien nodded lightly, indicating that he was still adapting to the change of identity. He was no longer the specific executor, but the proposer, reviewer, decider and supervisor.

But hearing what Oliver said, Lucien once again recalled the matter of lobbying for pollution treatment. In order to get the affairs committee to pass similar regulations, he ran around, lobbying big figures, and then had to stand in the affairs committee meeting room to explain. His own point of view, accepting inquiries, and even being unable to participate in the process of their discussion and decision, can only passively wait for the result, and now, Oliver has lightly asked himself to order the affairs committee to draw up regulations, as if this is a matter of course.

"Is this what it feels like to be at the top of all magicians..." Lucien sighed in his heart.

In the Supreme Jury, the chairman of the affairs committee is the grand arcanist who is on duty in Allinge, which is changed every five years, and the vice-chairman is permanent. Oliver, Atuman, Manuel, the Sun King, takes the lead when conducting external operations or exploring alien spaces.

Because the specification of the alchemy workshop did not involve the loss of current interests, other members of the highest council did not object, and the topic continued to deepen, discussing the control of the four countries in the Strait and the coastal corridor of the Northland, and discussing the three major fortresses along the Storm Strait. Construction problems, the number of airships.

In this regard, Lucien didn't know enough about the situation, so he just listened quietly and didn't express any further opinions. After all, even the cumbersome airship was different from what he originally thought. Although it was a bit slow, the above However, a lot of materials are used to build magic arrays or magical arrays, which can be called air fortresses. Ordinary blows will not cause damage at all, and they have the incomparable advantages of aircraft, which cannot be solved by ordinary bombardment.

As for large airliners, it is not necessary for magicians above high level. It is better to promote magic steam trains for those below high level, so that more places can be connected by railways.

Unknowingly, the meeting came to an end, and Lucien spoke again: "Everyone, currently the highest honors in the major fields of magic belong to various organizations and countries. There is no parliament, which is not in line with common sense. It is the Grand Arcanist conferred by the council, and the highest honor should also be the award conferred by the council. Moreover, in the face of today's rapid development of arcane arts and more and more achievements, our standards should be stricter, not only must we be able to stay in the The results of the annals of history must have their own theoretical explanations.”

"If the council agrees to establish it, I am willing to donate one-third of my share income to sponsor each year to encourage the development of arcane and magic."

After becoming a legendary magician, precious materials are often bartered, so the annuity income is actually not that important to Lucien, it is better to use it to make up for the impact of the headshot demon.

"Are you taking one-third of the share proceeds?" Douglas looked at Lucien with some excitement.

Because the Allinge Telephone and Telegraph Company is still in the early stage of infrastructure construction, Lucien's current annuity income is about 10,000 yuan per month, which is about 150,000 to 60,000 yuan a year, and one third is considered a huge amount. Sponsored.

Lucien nodded seriously: "Yes, this is my wish."

"What about you, do you have any comments?" Douglas looked at the others, mainly Hathaway, Atlante, Helen and others.

Hathaway said succinctly: "It would be nice if the council had an award."

Anyway, it costs the money of the council, and the standard is very high. It is likely that there will only be one in a few decades. When other people see Douglas's heart, they have no objection.

Douglas laughed and said: "Since everyone agrees, then we will set up this award, including the eleven major factions. The name is called the Lucien Evans Award. It is divided into Evans Element Award, Evans Astrology Award, etc. , rewarding eighth-level perfect magic items."
