Chapter 556 I Love Studying
"That was excellent preaching just now," Shi Dong told Ye Qingxuan on the stage. "You are gifted as a bishop. You really don't want to join the Church? I can guarantee that you will be the one that will probably sit on the throne of the Pope among all cardinal bishops by the ti when you are 50. You may be the one to provide the flesh body of the next King Red."
"Spare . I'm not interested in digging out my brain and soaking it in a jar." Ye Qingxuan shook his head. "Is it really possible to finish with a month?"
"Yes, if we build a simple one. We can upgrade it in the future," Shi Dong answered. "We lack too many instrunts here. That will save us a lot of trouble. And I think there was sothing you didn't tell him: without maintenance and upgrading after it's built, what he'll have will be the shell of a ship with the main artillery."
"We'll have them, all of them." Ye Qingxuan smiled. "What's more, we are a family now that you've signed the contract, so you may save those fake manners. There should be no one who will question the validity of the contract of the Religious Court of Inquisitors, right?"
"Ehhh… I can picture now in my head what you will turn the Religious Court into." Heaving a sigh, Shi Dong turned around. "Please follow . There's much for you to learn."

Ten minutes later, in the dungeon.
Sitting behind the huge desk piled with books and files and staring at the mountains of docunts and files, Ye Qingxuan was shocked.
"Wait, what're all those things about?" asked Ye Qingxuan.
"Besides the abilities of a musician, it requires a lot more skill and ability to be a qualified Grand Inquisitor."
An old man in a wheelchair ca forward and said, "We'll conduct special training for you next. The training covers, besides basic skills to handle official docunts and files, the common strategies to handle things and codes, the hidden agents and information channels in other countries."
A young-looking man who slt like corpse ca up to him and said, "I will teach you the 147 special music movents of the Religious Court of Inquisitors, from the basic level to the Saint level, and special skills and techniques of the purifying musicians."
A bald man who had more than half of his body turned into iron, and, judging from the fleshy part of his body, was a little more than 40 years old, ca forward and said, "I'm the leader of the fourth generation of the Knights of the Witch's Hamr. I'll teach you the art of fencing. You will have one class lasting one hour every day. After the training, you may have so fighting skills which you don't have now."
"Ehh…"Ye Qingxuan wanted to say sothing, but more old n ca up.
"I'm the third intelligence officer of the Religious Court of Inquisitors. I'll…"
"I'm…"
"I'm…"
A crowd of old n ca to him and introduced themselves. Ye Qingxuan almost fainted. "Wait for a mont! The schedule is filled with more than 20 hours of training classes every day! When do I sleep?"
Bang! A bottle of crystal green alchemy dication was put on the desk.
"The Dream of Erald, the best reviving dication ever." Another big-nosed old man with an odd sll gave a weird smile and said, "It's also the alchemy product I'm most proud of. One bottle of this will save you a week of sleep."
"What about after one week?"
"Have another bottle of it," the big-nosed old man said gently. "I'm the private dical officer of the six generation knights. I'll be responsible for your health in the following period of ti.
"Musicians of the Master's level barely need any sleep. The maximum dose of the Dream of Erald one can take is six bottles in a row. Considering your aether tolerance, I think you can take ten bottles without a problem.
"So, don't worry, and enjoy your learning ti."
"…" Almost petrified, Ye Qingxuan said to Shi Dong, who was the last one to step up, "What about you then?"
"Everything related to war." Shi Dong smiled. "But don't worry. I won't take much ti as I have only three hours a day when I'm fully energetic."
"Then I should be thankful." Ye Qingxuan said coldly, "You leave one hour to eat my als, shower, and use the toilet."
"No. The last hour is also occupied." Shi Dong took out a full schedule. "That is our discussion ti."
"…" Ye Qingxuan felt like he was being choked and wanted to pass out.
"You sure that I can be the most powerful Grand Inquisitor in just a few days?" Ye Qingxuan asked. "Excluding other things, learning the techniques to command a war alone would take a man's whole life, right?"
"Actually, it's our job to study wars, the governnt's job to prepare for wars, the general's job to command wars, and the soldiers' job to fight wars. You need only to watch."
"Then why should I learn it?"
"You need to understand it, at least." Shi Dong answered, "You need to know what can be done, what is forbidden, and what must be done. You don't want to be the kind of guy who knows nothing at all but always pokes his nose into everything, do you? It's the virtue of an officer not to make trouble for his subordinates at a critical mont. And it's the duty of a senior official to eliminate a trouble-making subordinate through suicide squads. I'll teach you everything about it."
"Are those the right things to teach ?" Ye Qingxuan was shocked again.
"Don't worry. You are the most talented young man I've seen." Shi Dong said with a smile, "You will be a Grand Inquisitor. What's more, besides the compilation of war records, we've also prepared many textbooks…" While saying that, he pointed at the corner. Drawing the curtain up, a huge pile of moldy files appeared around Shi Dong's wheelchair.
These were the summaries and files produced by the old n when they were simulating wars. The old n got delighted when talking about their fruits of "gaplay."
"We have been playing the ga of war simulation for more than 80 years, about 40,000 tis in total. From the past until modern tis, from the East to the West, all the wars we simulated were carefully docunted. Sotis we play the Immortal Army, sotis the Asgardian squares, sotis the Knights Templar, and more often, we play ourselves. Annihilation, fortress besieging, fortress attacking, surprise attack, retreat…
"In the boring days, we fought against all the possible imagined enemies throughout history and all over the world. We racked our brains to fight against them.
"Now, the 40,000 war strategies are all here. No matter who your enemies are, there is always one strategy against him."
In the dead silence, Ye Qingxuan looked at the old n who were all smiling oddly and the file, piled as high as a grave, feeling the temptation to kill himself.
Shi Dong smiled heartedly and put the first file in front of him, declaring the coming of a hard ti. "So, please show us the legendary learning abilities you claid to have," he said confidently. "I assure you, you will have a period of ti which will be 'extrely fruitful'."
