Chapter 3 The Change of Identity

"Bluefly, what do you mean?" Oliver asked doubtfully. He was familiar with the languages ​​and cultures of different countries in different dimensions, but he was still helpless with 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 completely new form. Not only does it have no personal attachment, but after graduation and entering the alchemy workshop,

You can still get a salary, but it’s slightly lower than ordinary ones, and the contract period is longer, so I created a brand new term for it - Bruflei, which is the name of this type of school and contains the meaning of dream."

"What do you think?"

Atlante kept his eyes closed and chuckled: "I very much agree with the idea of ​​promoting general schools and such professional schools, but there is a problem. In the past apprenticeship system, as long as an apprentice was taught, the apprentice would be

They will work for the alchemy workshop for free for ten years and only need accommodation and food. But now Bru, Bruflei requires the alchemy workshop to invest in training funds in advance, and also requires a salary for the graduated apprentices. I don’t think they will

Accept it willingly unless pressure comes from Parliament and the Kingdom."

"Mr. Atlante, times have changed. The one-to-one or one-to-several apprenticeship system in the past can no longer adapt to the current development needs of the alchemy workshop. I don't need to say this. I believe you should also understand that, just like the Parliament,

The apprenticeship training has basically been transformed into a school system."

"I will lobby several companies in which I have shares to invest in Kintaler to build the first Bruflei. After two or three years, they have reduced costs and broadened the market with the support of a steady stream of professional workers.

At that time, other alchemy workshops were probably still in the dilemma of insufficient manpower, and the company's early investment in training funds was recovered from the profits they created, which is a necessary cost."

Lucien pretended not to force anyone. It was always not easy to ask others to pay. Fortunately, he was not a young man who had just emerged when he was lobbying for environmental protection. He had no authority, no influence, and no support from the forces.

He has become a member of the highest panel with the power to make decisions. He has his own power and wealth. He can completely get rid of the obstruction of others and set an example for others to follow.

And the actual cost is not too much. Natasha can use the school site to build a redundant monastery, spend some of her arcane points to issue tasks for magicians and graduated apprentices to teach, and the teaching results are excellent.

You can enter the Atomic Research Institute or study with yourself for a period of time, so you don't have to worry about being unattractive, and starting from the second year, the school's apprentices will be arranged to go to the alchemy workshop for "internships" in their spare time to recover part of their investment in advance.

Seeing Lucien's attitude, Atlante and other doubtful magicians were relieved. He nodded slightly and said: "It is true that times have changed. Old things should be buried in the past. I suggest that the Supreme Council

The delegation made a decision to encourage the Alchemy Workshop to invest in its establishment without forcing it to be built. Evans, if you want to build it, you can count on me."

Douglas gently clapped his palms twice: "I agree that the Allinger Telephone and Telegraph Company, which is owned by the parliament, will take the lead in investing and set an example."

Since there was no force, every member of the top panel raised their hands in agreement and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"There is another question. Can general schools be popularized with the financial support of parliament and countries such as Holm? Will apprentices find nothing to do after graduation? You must know that the current apprenticeship system can almost satisfy the needs of alchemy workshops.

Others are needed, and they are not pre-made to suit a certain alchemy workshop like the apprentices of 'Bruflei.' If they spend a lot of money but don't get a change in their lives, they may be resentful.

To lift up the kingdom and ourselves into the arms of the God of Truth is completely contrary to our original wishes." Atlante is a master at reading people's hearts.

Lucien smiled and said: "Mr. Atlante, the changes of the times have a chain reaction. When there are so many alchemy workers, social wealth increases, and there are various alchemy items that shorten the distance between cities, the entire society

The structure will inevitably undergo essential changes. Perhaps one job will be divided into many more refined and professional jobs, and things that were unimaginable in the past may occur. Of course, the initial scale of general education will definitely be controlled and cannot be promoted blindly. It must be suitable

The state of our own finances and society.”

"Then I have no objection. Evans, you are very sober and not pushy at all." Atlante has little research on the changes in social development, but his old partner Erica, the master of transformation, is an excellent historian and strongly agrees with it.

Lucien's conclusion that the social division of labor would be more detailed, after a silent exchange with Atlante, made him give up his original skepticism.

The issue of general schools was discussed for a while. Under the dazzling name of attacking the foundation of the church's faith, the Supreme Council finally passed the resolution, but emphasized that it should be moderate.

"Let me add a few more words." Lucien found that he was becoming more and more like a leader in speaking. "I suggest that regulations be enacted to regulate alchemy workshops, and restrictions should be placed on overtime and the use of child labor. Alchemy workshops cannot be allowed to

Excessive exploitation of workers will lead to the 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 the labor must be assigned according to age..."! Due to the two aspects of simplification and promotion

In terms of issues, the alchemy workshop is currently in a powerful state, and both dwarf craftsmen and human workers can maintain good health. Therefore, Lucien believes that we should take the lead in regulating and squeezing workers in the alchemy workshop to obtain benefits, forming

It would be relatively simple to curb this inevitable trend before the situation of vested interest groups occurs.

As for the use of child labor, Lucien had no choice but to compromise. There is currently no good relief system. The most important thing is that many orphans can find a job to survive. We cannot blindly pursue ideals regardless of the actual situation, which will actually harm the children.

For others, going too far is not enough.

"I don't think this kind of small issue is suitable for discussion at the Supreme Council meeting." "Absolute Defense" Atuman stopped Lucien from continuing, "Regulating the alchemy workshop and treating the workers well is in line with the parliament's goal of establishing a new image of magicians.

, but we only need to formulate the general direction, leave the specific details to the committee for improvement, and we will finally approve it."

Oliver also interjected: "Evans, you are also a member of the Supreme Council. You can instruct the committee to draft a regulation according to your ideas, and then show it to everyone.

If the premise is correct, it can basically be passed. There is no need to discuss the specific provisions with us now, everyone's time is precious."

Lucien nodded slightly to show that he was still adapting to the change in status. He was no longer the specific executor, but the reviewer, decision-maker and supervisor.

But hearing what Oliver said, Lucien once again recalled the time when he was lobbying for pollution treatment. In order to get the Panel to pass similar regulations, he traveled everywhere, lobbied many big shots, and finally had to stand in the Panel meeting room to explain himself.

views, accepted questioning, and was not even able to participate in the process of their discussion and decision-making. He could only passively wait for the results. Now, Oliver casually asked the committee to draft regulations, as if it was a small matter that was taken for granted.

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

Within the Supreme Council, the Grand Arcanist of Arlinge serves as the Chairman of the Affairs Committee, which changes every five years. The Vice Chairman is permanent and consists of Oliver and Atuman who are strong in action and good at fighting or handling things.

Sun King Manuel serves as the leader when conducting external operations or exploring alien spaces.

Because the regulations for the alchemy workshop did not involve the loss of current interests, other members of the top council did not object. The topic continued to deepen, and the discussion of the control of the four Strait countries and the Northland coastal corridor was discussed. The construction of the three major fortresses along the Storm Strait, Fei Fei

The problem of the number of airships.

In this regard, Lucien didn't know enough about the situation and listened quietly without making any further comments. After all, even the airship that looked very bulky was different from what he originally thought. Although it was a bit slow, it had many uses on it.

The materials are used to construct magical arrays or magical arrays, which can be called air fortresses. The strikes will not cause any harm at all, and have advantages that are difficult to match with airplanes.

It cannot be solved by ordinary bombardment.

As for large passenger planes, there is no need for magicians above high level. For those below high level, it is better to promote magic steam trains so that more places can be connected by railways.

Unconsciously, the meeting came to an end, and Lucien spoke again: "Everyone, the highest honors in the major magic fields currently belong to various organizations and countries. There is no parliament. This is not in line with common sense. Since the most glorious titles of arcana and magic are

It is the Grand Arcanist awarded by the Parliament. The highest honor should also be the award issued by the Parliament. And in the face of the increasingly rapid development of arcana and more and more achievements, our standards should be stricter. Not only must we have enough skills to stay in the

The achievements in history must have their own theoretical explanations."

"If the Parliament is willing to establish it, I am willing to sponsor one-third of my share income every year to encourage the development of arcana and magic."

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

"You will give one-third of the profit from the shares?" Douglas looked at Lucien with some emotion.

Because the Allinge Telephone and Telegraph Company is still in the investment stage, Lucien's current annuity income is about more than 10,000 gold talers per month, which is about 150,000 to 60,000 per year. One-third is considered a huge sponsorship.

.

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

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

Hathaway said concisely and concisely: "It would be nice if the Congress had an award."

Anyway, it was spending the council's money, and the standards were very high. It was likely that there would only be one in ten years. Others saw that Douglas was moved, so they had no objections.

Douglas chuckled and said: "Since everyone agrees, then we will set up this award, including the eleven major factions. The name is called Lucien Evans Award, which is divided into Evans Element Award, Evans Astrology Award, etc.

Wait, we will reward you with an eighth-level perfect magic item."
