Chapter 822: Chapter 0819: Heading to Red Crab Island (First Update)
Over the next few days, Liszt almost spent half of each day training with the Formless Dragon. Although he hadn’t developed any Dou Qi Manuscript techniques yet, he had mastered the use of Crystal White View and even discovered several Elf Bugs in the nearby forest.
He didn’t find any Greater Elves or Little Minor Elves, just six ordinary plant Elf Bugs that were not very economically valuable.
Now that he already possessed hundreds of Elf Bugs, his attention to individual Elf Bugs was very low, but an Elf Bug was still an elf, with potential for enormous value. Who knew if a weed-like Elf Bug might give birth to a variant Magic Potion weed and suddenly increase in value?
So, every single Elf Bug needed to be carefully nurtured.
For this reason, he was already planning to establish a departnt specifically dedicated to the research, discovery, protection, and nurturing of elves, which would be responsible for providing overall managent of the elves in his domain. Magicians were undoubtedly the best suited to lead the research on elves. However, Liszt was continuously fighting against “Magicianization” and did not want magicians to be too deeply involved in the managent of the domain.
“Let’s simply diminish the role of magicians and promote the Arcanist System. Not only can magicians join the Arcanist System, but knights can as well… The Iron Knight can be considered a research entity, and it is easier to control using the Arcanist System.”
...
Therefore,
After careful consideration, he decided to take the opportunity of establishing a research and nurturing departnt for elves to reform the caster system of his territory and officially transition to the Arcanist System.
“The new research institution will be called the Elf Academy. The academy will serve as an integrated research and education institution for arcanists in the domain… The Elf Academy will handle research related to elves, the Magic Academy will be responsible for the essence of Magic Power and studies related to magic, and the Knight Academy will handle the training of knights.”
“There will also be an Agriculture Academy responsible for farming research, a War Academy responsible for intelligence and strategy, and an Equipnt Academy responsible for manufacturing Magic Equipnt and weapons… as well as the Royal Academy, which will coordinate and guide all academies, report directly to , and handle research and breeding of dragons.”
Liszt planned to personally serve as the president of the Royal Academy, with Ach as the vice-president and Chris as the secretary-general.
Knight Academy would have him also as president, Elf Academy would have Ach also serve as president, and Chris would still serve as the president of the Magic Academy, with other academies’ leadership to be determined later.
As for the main roles within the academies, the Arcanist level would serve as the standard.
The most junior researchers and teachers must at least hold the title of “Arcanist.”
Those responsible for individual research projects or leading a teaching subject must hold the title of “Grand Arcanist.”
To be in charge of an academy, one must hold the title of “Chief Arcanist,” and only Chief Arcanists were qualified to hold positions in the Royal Academy.
To engage in leadership roles at the Royal Academy and handle research concerning dragons, one must hold the title of “Arcane Instructor.”
Without a doubt, both Liszt and Ach held the qualifications for the title of Arcane Instructor, and for now, they were the only two.
He wrote down “Academy-Arcanist Plan” in his notebook.
Liszt didn’t imdiately announce it but kept it as a concept for now, considering implenting the reforms after establishing his kingdom was officially founded. Currently, his old territories were still accumulating wealth, and the new territories urgently needed developnt, so haste was not advisable. After all, once reford, the Magic Guild would inevitably leave.
At this stage, the Magic Guild was still the best way to gather pilgrimage magicians and thus had its purpose.
Only when magicians had adapted to the managent of the Magic Guild and begun to transform into researchers would it be the right ti for reform.
…
However, as Liszt was ambitiously preparing to develop the Fla Islands.
Disastrous news arrived from his domain, swiftly relayed to his desk through the Magic Platform—it was reported that the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, Marquis of Red Crab Island, forr captain of the Court Fleet, rlin Taro, had passed away on July 3rd of Sapphire Calendar Year 154, with the funeral scheduled for July 15th.
Today was July 5th.
Li Si Te put down the paper used for recording and sending ssages, bracing his hands on the desk, he rubbed his forehead. The good mood of the past few days had receded, and he felt a slight constriction in his heart.
Although he had been ntally prepared for a long ti, the Marquis rlin, in his twilight years, could pass away at any mont.
Yet, when the mont arrived, he still found it hard to face it with calmness, as the person closest to him in this world, other than Ach, had departed.
Indeed, the ties of interest among nobles often outweighed those of familial bonds, but the affection Marquis rlin held for him, his grandson, still filled Li Si Te’s heart with respect. As a transmigrator, his few interactions with the elderly man were perhaps his most direct experience of familial affection.
This also made him feel closer to the Long Taro Family, far more than to the Tulip Family.
“Philip, inform Earl Cross and Viscount Fox to co to the camp for a eting.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
A mont later, Cross·Thorn and Fox arrived together.
“I’ve called you here because I will soon be leaving Fla Island to return to my territory. I leave the developnt of this area in your hands, with Cross taking the lead and Fox assisting.”
“Rest assured, my lord!” Both n accepted the orders.
“You must quickly finalize the layout of Fla Town. I will be back soon with ten new ships, split half and half between supplies and personnel. Furthermore, Durt Red Apricot has already gathered seven hundred Earth Knights and thirteen hundred Apprentice Knights, along with a large number of serfs, and they are currently en route by ship. Their accommodations must also be arranged.”
“Understood.”
“However, the river passage along Whirlpool River doesn’t need your attention for now; I will take charge of that myself when I return, as there are many powerful Magical Beasts along the way,” Li Si Te added.
As one of Li Si Te’s three earl followers, Durt Red Apricot had previously been sent to gather knights from Iron Hoof City for a major developnt on Fla Island. Their fleet had no external help and had to travel from Black Horse Island to Fla Island, taking a long ti.
But Li Si Te would send Ach to assist, helping the fleet reach Fla Island as quickly as possible.
When the ti ca, this group of knights would travel up Whirlpool River to Fla Origin and start opening the river passage, laying the foundation for future settlent developnt.
After giving these instructions.
Li Si Te dismissed the two n and then went directly to the rudintary laboratory to find Ach busy at work: “Ach, I might need you to put your research experints on hold.”
“What’s the matter, brother?”
“Marquis rlin has passed away; I need to return imdiately.”
Ach, not much concerned with humans, understood and acknowledged Li Si Te’s feelings for Marquis rlin, so she nodded gently: “Alright, Ach will organize the experintal data right away.”
Having organized the data, they set off imdiately.
Instead of calling forth Little Fire Dragon Leo, he mounted the Formless Dragon Bard and headed towards the coast. Along the way, he allowed Ach to personally experience the feeling of being enveloped by space magic power at the material boundary, deepening her understanding of space magic power, thus better grasping the principle of the Magic Teleportation Array.
They traveled throughout the night, and on the afternoon of July 6th, the two arrived at the shores of Red Crab Island.
They then summoned Little Fire Dragon Leo and started flying towards Long Taro Castle at the center of Red Crab Island.
