Chapter 279: Imperial College
Chapter 274 – Imperial Academy
Because of the early preparation, the process ahead was fast, such as name, family, crest, territory, bannermen, etc., all of these were prepared in advance and only needed to be inputted.
Interestingly, this place was actually a paperless office, the staff sat in front of a machine similar to an old typewriter, and after pressing the letters an aura would be born, and then the information contained would be incorporated into a metal plate and a ring.
This is not magic, nor is it alchemy, but rather a unique divine art for ease of use, which eliminates most attempts to modify information and enhances confidentiality.
What’s more, all the information was kept in duplicate, and the main body was placed in the Noble Council, so it was as difficult as hell to enter here to modify it, ensuring security.
The ring was a set with the metal plate, and it didn’t have many functions, other than storing the information, it only served to determine the identity.
Owen put on the ring, a pain in the finger, a drop of blood was absorbed, at the same time also recorded the spiritual fluctuations and soul breath, equivalent to a triple binding.
From now on, he was the Lord of Hydra, only he had the qualification to modify the family information and choose the successor.
But this was the end, the metal plate was included by the Noble Council, Owen’s purpose of coming here was considered to be accomplished, and there was only the ritual of going through the motions left.
In fact, they didn’t have to wait long, in the afternoon, the emperor who didn’t know whether it was true or not came in a hurry, and in the side hall, he took his sword and tapped them on the shoulder, recited a few oaths and then ended it.
When it really came and went in a hurry, it gave people a feeling of being caught off guard.
In fact, this is quite normal, after all, they are not what big nobles, and from the remote northern land, even if the emperor is willing to make a big scene, there is no one willing to come to support the scene is a problem, it is better to keep it simple, both sides save trouble.
Although the process is a little difficult to say, but from now on, Owen is an honorable count, or the kind of real power.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of most of the nobles, he is still a lowly northland noble, not to mention stepping into the top nobles circle of the imperial capital, even the ordinary nobles will not easily accept this group of riffraff.
Some things are not what the emperor says they are, so this situation will last for at least a hundred years, or even longer, until the Northland completely develops before it changes, but only a little, because regional discrimination will not go away, and a complete change will have to depend on its own strength.
There is no actual increase in status, but the rights and benefits of being a noble are still there, for example, they now have some special quotas, able to recruit war knights, real guards and serving maids.
These are not ordinary people can be recruited, otherwise the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce would not have gone through so much effort and used favors to get two defective products.
For these three professionals, Owen was very interested, but compared to that, he wanted to complete the enrollment as soon as possible, to enter the imperial academy to study, and the enrollment quota is not available to everyone, if he is not a nobleman, it is estimated that it will take a lot of work, so he did not stay longer.
In fact, the main thing is that the water of the imperial capital is too deep, not a place where Owen’s small body can flop around at will, so even if his hand is stuffed with small notes from pretty young ladies at this time, he can’t stay, at best, there will be time for in-depth exchanges in the future.
Back to the landing of the manor, Owen twisted his head to look deeply at the imperial capital, and then brought the guide to the Imperial College without leaving any regrets.
The Imperial College is not really far from the imperial capital, just a few dozen miles apart, but it covers a very vast area.
In addition to an academy city, there were several outlying areas, including mountains, lakes, forests and plains, which were able to adapt to various teaching styles, so even the God of Knights’ War Academy, the God of Guards’ Guardian Barrier, and the Church of Service’s Academy of Service were all opened here, which was also the reason why Owen didn’t rush to recruit the War Knights and the True Guards in the Temple of the Noble Goddesses, as he preferred to cultivate them himself.
Since he chose to study here, it was definitely not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time, so Owen wanted to purchase an estate here, such as a manor or something, only to ask about the price.
First of all, it was not that he didn’t have money, it was purely because he didn’t want to spend money in vain, so he just rented an estate first to house his men. Just landed, Vanessa is about to be born, there is a kind of hand-wringing feeling of Owen hurriedly will have relevant experience of Aimée summoned over as a helper, Brian and Emily is only theoretically experienced, really let them go to midwifery, I’m afraid it will turn into an autopsy site.
Aimile, who came with magic potion, made preparations, but when she saw Vanessa, she still frowned.
Although there has been no interruption of high concentration of nutrient solution, but the consumption of breeding legend is really too large, and ordinary nutrients are not just a large amount of line, so Vanessa is now in a very bad situation, not to mention the thin bones, but also the belly is as big as a drum, the veins of the whole body is clearly visible, the skin is so pale that it is almost transparent, quite scary.
Anyway, the moment to decide Vanessa’s fate has arrived.
Originally, with the legend’s control of the body, the birth of a child dare not say gurgle, but also difficult to fall where, but Vanessa is too weak, if it is not Aimée brought a lot of magic medicine, but also with medical jutsu to help, I’m afraid that it is simply impossible to give birth, can only be delivered by caesarean section.
Vanessa with a strange smile of satisfaction at the moment of giving birth to the child swallowed the last breath, so that Owen looked at a kind of heart fluttering feeling.
While the old Vanessa died here, the new Vanessa was given a new life here, like a new reincarnation.
“You take her back and tend to her, she’s too weak now.” Owen said with a flutter of his eyelids as he saw Vanessa, who had started to learn to walk as soon as she hit the ground.
Emmy nodded and left with Vanessa tucked towards her chest.
Owen, who had a piece of his mind cleared, was busy preparing for the entrance exams while going to the surrounding academies to check the situation and see if there were any suitable cadets to recruit.
First of all, there was the War Academy, which trained not traditional knights, but officers specializing in command, whose individual strength was average, but they were very proficient in practicing, commanding, and war, so they were very sought after.
Owen thought that those nobles would be afraid of the war knights because they were the followers of the God of Knights, but in fact, it was not the case.
Just like the followers of the Noble Goddess, the followers of the God of Knights and the God of Guards only believed in the concepts of the two gods, not the gods themselves.
So once they chose who to pledge their allegiance to, there was no problem with letting them attack the temples because it was the gods’ philosophy and their beliefs.
“Kind of interesting.” Owen said as he stroked his chin, he had never really seen such a believer with a god.
It just so happened that near graduation, the War Academy held graduation exams with the Guardian Barrier to face the public development, thus attracting many nobles to recruit.
During this time, Owen learned that the Imperial Academy is also divided into many kinds, not only the nobles can enroll, after all, although the nobles have the bloodline advantage, but the number is here, and the genius born from the huge civilian population can not be less, otherwise the adventurers are from where.
This situation will all civilian geniuses turned away from the door is not a good idea, also is not conducive to the injection of fresh blood, so in addition to the nobles, the Imperial Academy will also release a number of civilian cadet places every year.
Although it’s hard to be fair, but at least it won’t completely block the opportunity for civilians to change their destiny.
