Putting aside a certain lich's comment about an elf being a 'point-eared bitch', in fact, due to the cultural gap, many words spoken by elves will sound different to humans. This may be a problem of translation between languages.
Just like on earth, when Westerners speak Chinese, no matter how well they speak, sometimes the meaning of their words will make people feel nondescript. In the same way, for Easterners, as long as they are not born and raised in that environment, they will not be familiar with Western languages.
You will have the same problem.
However, for high elves who are experienced in walking in human society, they would make the mistake of misleading people by speaking like this. It is probably deliberate, and the target is not the person talking to them, but the people listening next to them. This kind of mistake
Of course, you can't take it seriously, because if you do that, you will only get innocent looks in your eyes, accusing yourself of misunderstanding what you said.
In short, it is women who speak, and they have the right to interpret. If you want to force the other party to swallow the nonsense you say casually, you have to be strong enough. But obviously, if you want to reason with the woman who is at the top of the food chain,
You have to first consider whether you can fit between people's teeth.
The atmosphere tonight was so weird. The two groups were clearly distinct and each formed a circle to talk. Some people who deliberately provoked could occasionally cause the two circles to say a few sour words, but it ended silently, as if everyone was in the same room.
What to restrain.
On the way back, I discussed this strange feeling with Fen. But she said thoroughly: "It's very simple. They have been making trouble for me for such a period of time. How come I can't taste anything? The ultimate goal is
It's you who has the benefits they and the people behind them want. What do I have? Besides, who do you think is worse off if you fall out with me?"
... Is this a kind of bystander's understanding and the authority's confusion? Lin never thought that the crux of the problem was himself. But as long as he figured it out, he understood the situation in front of him.
Starting from the second day, more and more guests came to visit the college.
During the time when the college was established, except for the transportation team that came to deliver the materials purchased by Lin, no outsiders would visit. In other words, there would be many people attending the lecture night once a week, and a crowd was formed outside the college.
The night market mainly sells food.
After that, some customers will come to visit. They want to know about coffee technology, but they want to get it for free; they ask questions about the language, and think that it is natural to get it for free in the name of communication. In short, the guests who will come during this period are not good-tempered.
.If it weren’t for the help of the great magician Juan Javier most of the time, someone would have been wiped out by the people who ruined the place.
But starting from this day, some people who lowered their heads and begged for their children to enter the academy finally came to visit.
The feeling of being asked for like this makes Lin feel very strange. After all, he comes from a world and era where education is a national right and also an obligation. While advocating the education of love, the status of a teacher is probably higher than that of a dog.
Some employees will not receive wages as dogs, nor will they be handcuffed by the police when something happens...
I digress.
In short, now that he has mastered the power of education, Lin's social status in Wulian City seems to have instantly increased a lot. In the past, some people who might not be able to meet him even asked for it, all took the initiative to visit. Cooperation that had been proposed before but was not followed up,
It seems to be unfolding at the same time. Of course, in exchange, their people can enter the academy.
Lin was not polite to these people who had various thoughts and ideas, and directly threw away a contract and the URL of the documentation on the forum.
"What, you want money? Tuition?"
This is the reaction of most people. Lin did not intend to explain to these people what sustainable management is and what user pays is. He directly pointed to the back of the contract and said: "If you don't pay the tuition, you will be like those children.
, after five years or after becoming an official magician, you will serve the academy for free for two years. If you agree to this condition, you will learn magic for free."
After becoming a magician, do you serve people for free for two years, or do you have to pay half-year tuition fees of ccc kiir (300 gold) and up to five years of mmm kiir (3,000 gold)? Especially the contract also states clearly that the two-year service period
There is a possibility of being sent to a life-threatening mission, but as long as you participate once, you can be released from the service no matter how long you have left.
Paying tuition or not paying tuition seems to be no longer an option for these people who come to visit. What's more, like in the past, if you first find a magician you know and then ask him to accept your heir, the amount of money it will cost will increase.
Less?
In fact, if there is no mandatory requirement by the association, every magician must teach at least two formal magicians in his life. I am afraid that many people will not be willing to teach apprentices at all. We must ask such people to accept apprentices, unless there are special or special reasons.
Very high magic talent, otherwise this kind of magician will still maintain the original idea of being afraid of trouble.
Otherwise, when you encounter a magician who recruits many apprentices, what he really cares about is the power behind each apprentice, that is, the benefits and money they can provide. Usually under such people, if the family power is not top-notch, usually
The children sent in will not be well cared for and taught.
Although Chengguo Eton College also recruits a wide range of disciples, it can teach magic apprentices who pass the first test in just four months. This result is already better than that of most magicians. Therefore, for most of them, there is no better choice.
, for example, if someone in the family is die-hard loyal to a certain magician and exchanges posts, or if they are sure that the person they send out can receive good care and learning, it seems that it is not bad to send them to the academy.
Does it sound like the number of students in the college will begin to explode?
In fact, it is not the case. For the academy, there are still several hurdles that must be passed. The first is of course that the people sent in must have magic talent. In the Five Link City, or some relatively wealthy families, the test
Talent stones are not difficult to obtain. They have to prove that the children they send in do have magical talents.
Although for Lin, learning mathematics, nature, p language, etc. does not require magical talent, he also hopes that this knowledge can be more popularized. But that is too big a step, and a certain time traveler does not want to become fat in one bite, because doing so
, the chance of death is relatively high.
The second level is to check whether the magic apprentices who want to enroll are the students of a certain magician? In addition to being able to find this information at Sita, which specializes in managing apprentices, students who want to enroll are also required to follow the information behind it.
The family signed a letter of incision stating that they had never had any magician as their teacher.
After all, it is a taboo to teach other people's magic apprentices; it is also a taboo for apprentices to join other people without their consent. Although Sita retains all the information of the magician's apprentices, this is officially registered and certified; it is not said to be a black account.
What about those who have apprenticed in associations in other districts? How should this be calculated?
Therefore, when it comes to verification in this area, Lin is very careful and does not want the academy to get involved in this kind of dispute. Not to mention whether they can win these trouble-making magicians, just because there are no casualties among the students who are studying,
This will all lead to quite troublesome consequences.
However, among so many people who come to ask for advice, there are also those who don't understand the situation and slam the table when they meet.
Sitting in the purser's room on the third floor - the dean is personally named by President Cheng Guo Eaton, although he has never visited the college since its establishment - inside, Lin personally received a group of small students in Wulian City.
A powerful aristocratic group.
These people are almost all radical elements among Liena Titov's followers, and they are also the group of people who previously coveted the various technologies in Lin's hands and exerted the greatest pressure from all aspects.
But the leader's performance of banging the table didn't seem to communicate well with his companions who came with him. Many people also had astonished expressions. The man said: "When you come to this shabby place, you still have to sign this kind of contract and abide by some things."
Those nonsense conditions, who do you think you are? Only the great magician Juan Javier is qualified to say these things to me. I come here to look up to you, and don’t be ungrateful and insist on asking for things."
Lifting the pen in the air, Lin stared blankly at the man who suddenly barged in and suddenly slapped the table and cursed. After holding it in for a while, Lin thought of what to say in reply and said: "My lord, you are very annoying."
The next child will be sent in by you."
"What! How is it possible? That is my legitimate son, my future heir." When it comes to his children, even the most unreasonable man will soften his expression and reveal a proud smile.
"But if you want to entrust such an important heir to the college, doesn't it mean that you trust the teaching quality of the college? But if you speak to us in such a tone today, are you not afraid of what will happen to your children?"
He looked at the other party as if he had understood, and showed a regretful expression. He said with a trembling voice: "You... you are threatening."
Listening to his cousin's show of weakness without raising his head, Lin said: "Of course this is a threat, but it is also a statement of facts. Do you know how many magic apprentices go missing or die every year in the Five City alone? Last year
There were dclxxvi (476) apprentices for a whole year, and then disappeared without a trace. The total number of apprentices in Wulian City was lxv (12,865), which means that for every one hundred apprentices, four
I'm missing, and no one knows whether I'm dead or running away. So can you guarantee that you won't be in danger in the academy?"
"This...isn't this what you should promise?"
"I only promise that I will take good care of every child who enters the academy, but I dare not say how guaranteed their safety is. After all, magic is a technique that changes the rules of nature and can be used to kill animals quickly and efficiently.
When you learn something like this, you will inevitably encounter surprises. But at that time, it will be clear who you can offend and who you should rely on."
"Then...then what do you mean by saying that you have full accommodation, you are not allowed to go home at any time, and you are not allowed to send servants to take care of you?"
"If you just teach magic and can't bear the constraints and hard work, then just live in your own home. Then, like in the past, find a way to invite a magician to teach at home. Why bother sending it to the academy."
Looking at the speaker, the more he spoke, the less confident he became. Lin Du was a little too lazy to tell the other party, and said: "The most precious thing about Chengguo Eton College is the college's management methods and the magicians who teach. Others can accept it.
If you, my lord, cannot accept such conditions, I can only say that I am sorry."
