The angle of time is always so strange, and it disappears like running water inadvertently.
In the magic language class, Anvis listened to the teacher's explanation, but his thoughts were wandering.
After the tea party a few years ago, Duke Carrot called him to the castle study for a talk, and then directly gave him a list.
There were a large number of properties belonging to the family listed on the list. The Duke waved his hand and allowed him to choose three properties to run on his own.
Carrot's original words were: Do what you want, don't be afraid of failure, the family does not lack this industry——
Anvis thought for a moment and selected a small and medium-sized chamber of commerce and two newly built civilian construction factories.
Of course, although in name, he is given full authority to run the business, in fact, Anvis only needs to control the general direction, and the people below him will handle the specific matters.
The two factories are newly built, and the assembly production lines need to be customized in the Federation of the Kingdom of Iter.
Anvis did one thing immediately: canceled the factory's originally scheduled production lines and changed them all to production lines for constructing trains.
The Duke was noncommittal about his choice. Due to the news of the opening of the Glory, a train trend did arise in various places.
But this has also led many nobles to follow suit and build train assembly factories, and competition will be extremely fierce.
But what the Duke didn't know was that Avis's purpose was not to earn gold coins, but to plan for the future.
The family does not attach much importance to the development of constructs. The Duke specifically mentioned the magic construct before, only because he was worried that it would lead to instability in the province.
Instead of worrying that the popularization of constructs will shake the family's dominance.
In fact, this dismissive attitude is also the epitome of the old aristocracy throughout the empire.
In their opinion, no matter how many of these 'moving broken metals' there are, they will not pose any threat to them who have ninth-level powerhouses.
Due to limitations in materials and technology, currently, the true magical constructs can only exert a maximum power of about six levels.
Maybe someone can use some special technology to forcibly create a magical construct that can exert power of level seven or above.
But those usually use high-level alchemical methods and a large amount of precious materials, which have lost the meaning of the construction itself, and are more inclined to normal alchemical items.
On the surface, these destructive powers are not even as good as the structures of ordinary sixth-level professionals. No matter how many there are, they cannot pose a threat to the ninth-level ones who control the power of rules.
But Avis knows that construction development is the trend of the future.
It has two biggest advantages - there is almost no limit on the personal strength of the operator, and it can be mass-produced.
A low-level equipment equipped with specially-made magic armor can instantly unleash the destructive power of a mid- to high-level professional.
Moreover, with the birth of several key i-technologies, the construct gradually broke through the limitations of its own lack of power through special methods and became a huge threat that no one can ignore.
He is familiar with history and will never allow himself to lag behind the times in this regard. On the contrary, he will overtake others in advance.
As the only large-scale structural structure classified by the imperial family for civilian use, the production of structural trains requires massive amounts of metal raw materials and specially-made ultra-large production lines.
With these two construction factories as a cover, he could openly mobilize construction materials on a large scale without making others suspicious.
If necessary in the future, other large war structures can be easily produced by simply making some modifications to the entire production line.
Moreover, the family's territory also needs to popularize constructed trains, and of course it is more secure to hand over such orders to the family's own factory.

"Sir Anvis, are you listening?"
Anvis' magic language tutor is a sixth-level royal scholar who looks about fifty years old. His temples are gray and his hairline is very high, and it has been getting taller recently.
At this time, he eliminated the magic words floating in the air, frowned slightly, and looked at Anvis with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course, Mr. David!"
Anvis quickly recovered his thoughts and answered seriously.
"Okay! So, what does [Ri~ket-en] mean in Ancient Manni? And give an example of its application."
David put on a straight face and asked Anvis a question. In response to his question, a new line of magic text appeared, flashing faint fluorescence in the air.
"It represents 'gnawing', sir. In the spell of the third-level spell 'Excavation', it is located in the second subsection of the third paragraph.
In the scene where it is used as a noun, it is used to specifically refer to [the squirrel in the World Tree]."
"……Completely correct."
Mr. David was very confused. He always felt that Anvis was deserting, but no matter what questions he asked, Anvis could answer them fluently.
As time passed, he gradually began to doubt his own vision.
"Perhaps... all real geniuses are like this? He is not in a daze, but thinking?"
This kind of doubt is not only felt by Mr. David, but also by almost all the tutors responsible for educating Avis.
Slowly, when the Duke asked about his studies, the tutors began to praise him full of praise, saying that Anvis was a real genius.
While listening to the lecture, you can also think more deeply at the same time.
At first, Avis was full of questions about this.
Is that so? Then I am really a rare genius!
In the end, he reluctantly accepted this fact. While attracting the attention of the Duke and Duchess, he once again gained the admiring gaze of Fiona.
He is not worried that the secret of his rebirth will be discovered. Since he has passed the soul synchronization rate test, as long as he doesn't go too far, everything can be attributed to his talent.
As he grows older, Avis’s daily learning content is constantly changing.
Linguistics has advanced to Magical Linguistics, and the language currently taught is Ancient Manni.
This language has been spread since the ancient magic empire period, and the characters themselves contain mysterious power. It is the most widely used magic language among mainland spellcasters.
Anvis learned from his memory that after mastering this language, there are four more languages: High Elf, Dragon, Ancient Dragon, and Titan.
In addition, more items need to be studied in the morning including music and art. The time for learning etiquette has been reduced by half, and social content has been added.
For example, how to please a lady.
History has been extended to ruins studies, and the course duration remains unchanged.
The afternoon was no longer leisurely. A total of four magic hours of magic materials science, inscription literature, alchemy and occult science took up a lot of Avis's time.
At the end of the day's classes, Anvis headed to the library as usual.
Due to his diligence and improvement of his own strength, the Duke made an exception to increase his authority.
Now, he can read most magic books below level three.
In the quiet library, the thin and pale figure of the young man looked a little lonely. Although the book in his hand was spread out, the pages had not been turned for a long time.
His background is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. He has been thinking of ways to break the situation over the years.
Several years have passed since the Glory was opened to traffic. During this short period of time, the situation in the empire has not fluctuated much.
On the contrary, due to the construction of many new magic construction factories, many people have gained income and jobs, and their lives are prospering.
But Avis knew very well that this was just an appearance. The seeds of the new era had fallen quietly, like little sparks pressed down by fallen leaves.
All it takes is a strong wind to ignite a raging fire and completely turn the decaying jungle of the old era into ashes.
The memory from the first-person perspective of little Anvis added many details that he had never learned in the game.
Unfortunately, the memory fragments are limited after all, and not many key details are revealed.
After a while, he sighed, closed his eyes gently, then slowly opened them again, forcing himself to turn his attention back to the book.
Only here could he not feel the ubiquitous and hidden surveillance eyes.
