Chapter 7 Moving on the Wind
Modo City. Thresh Tavern.
As a newly built tavern, Thresh Tavern is not very lively, far from the other high-end taverns in Modo Harbor. However, the tavern here also has an advantage, that is, there are regular customers from the barracks and arsenals, especially the gray dwarfs in Modo City, who like the heights of the liquor here. Compared with other taverns, Thresh Tavern seems to be cheap and cheap, with a wine glass that is as big as a sand bowl, so most of the guests here are middle and low floors of Modo City.
Today, there are many guests in Thresh Tavern.
However, unlike the bustle and bustle of the past, today's Thresh Tavern is full of whispers.
"Have you heard of it?"
"The above is preparing to run a college! I heard that there is no requirement for admission! As long as you have a resident certificate from Modo City, you can enter!"
“And no tuition is required.”
"I heard that the great Lord Sauron is ready to let those noble wizards come to be teachers in person."
I don’t know when it started. In Modo City, Sauron is no longer just called him. More and more people are accustomed to adding a great place to describe Sauron’s achievements. Because all these changes are closely related to their lives, the lower class civilians are actually easy to satisfy, and they will remember who made them live better and better.
"Know."
"I just heard about it today."
A bearded man took a sip of wine and spitted: "The City Hall has revealed the news early in the morning. But it is not all about asking the wizard to be a teacher. The City Hall is recruiting other scholars and craftsmen as teachers."
"Modo Academy is said to be specializing in teaching some techniques."
“But it’s not entirely free!”
"There are fees for colleges, but if your family is in trouble, you can not pay it first. After graduation, these tuition fees can be paid slowly through work."
"As long as you can work in Modo City, you can pay off your tuition fee at most half a year."
As a primitive era.
The material plane currently implements an apprenticeship system, which is similar to that in ancient China. Even an ordinary craftsman apprenticeship takes three to five years to start a master, and it is a free labor force during this period. A good craft in this era can support you for a lifetime. Apprenticeship is very complicated in all aspects. It is also a common thing for apprentices to be beaten and scolded. Sometimes, it may take more than ten years to start a master to support yourself when you meet a bad master.
Although Sauron did not open a professional college, the current system implemented in Modo City is already changing the actual rules.
It can be said that as long as this academy system becomes available, the simple and primitive apprenticeship system in other places in the material plane will basically disappear from Modo City, and the cultivation of talents will continue to be more efficient.
"I know."
Another man continued: "My nephew is about the same age. I have always wanted him to be a sailor before, but this kid doesn't like to wander on the sea at all."
"I'm going to let him in and learn something."
"In the future, he will be able to have a formal job in Modo City! It is good to learn some really useful techniques at his age."
Not everyone is qualified to be a professional.
Moreover, professionals are not as good as ordinary people imagine. Because professionals need to face more dangers, many parents still hope that their children will live an ordinary life, without joining the army or wandering on the sea. Modo City now provides many job opportunities, but few capable people, most of them are low-end coolies who sell labor. In the past, they were still used. However, there are more and more golem puppets in Modo City, and these simple labor can be replaced by golem puppets. At present, Modo City needs more technical talents.
"Um."
"I think so too. I'm going to send my bastards to learn how to build a ship."
"Modo City is overseas. If you know how to build a ship, you don't have to worry about not having any food! You just don't know what Modo City is planning to teach at the moment."
This time I was answered a tall and thin man.
But a man sitting behind them who seemed to be a patrol officer spoke, and he whispered: "Not just that! I heard that Modo City is planning to select talents qualified to become wizards and other professionals from all over the city."
"If your nephews can pass the test."
"Tsk tsk."
"That's amazing! I will definitely be a newcomer in Modo City in the future!"
Hearing this person's words, the other people were stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Really?!"
Although the magic net has collapsed.
But for ordinary people, the wizard is still a lofty existence. Looking at the wizard that Sauron initially faced in Amber City, you can know that in the eyes of ordinary people, wizards are almost the same as nobles. If there are really people with nephews who can become wizards, then the status of the family can be improved linearly, and the future will definitely be much more promising.
"I have a few nephews in the shipwreck bay. Do you want to take them over and try?"
"Whether you have talent or not."
"It doesn't take much time to go back and forth anyway."
It is not a trivial matter to have a wizard in the family. In the past, most wizards were inherited internally, and few people spent a lot of energy to choose from ordinary civilians. Because it takes knowledge as a basis for advancing to a wizard. A person who doesn’t even knows a word can’t learn magic even if he has a high intelligence. Therefore, there was no shortage of people with wizard talent in the past who were buried. Now that the magic net collapsed, a very clear measurement standard appeared, that is, if his innate intelligence is less than 18 points, he would not be able to brew a trace of magic power at all.
This makes it much easier to select top talents.
There was a lot of discussion in the tavern.
However, the most topical topic is the Modo Academy that was recently prepared to be established. No matter what it is inside, Sauron's every move has already involved the thoughts of everyone in Modo City, and everything Sauron did in the past proves himself. The lower-class civilians were almost blindly following Sauron. When they heard Sauron himself prepare to establish the academy, they immediately thought it was a very promising thing. So now many people in Modo City are ready to send their future generations into it.
Even if I don’t have a son, I want to send people with excellent talent and clever talents from my relatives.
Invisible.
The most promising newcomers within the Modo City relationship gathered together with a sentence from Sauron.
The more talents you can produce in the future, the foundation of Modo City will be as stable as possible!
