You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 361 Checking Academic Credentials

Roman quickly abandoned the idea.

He had used methods of conveying ideas before.

For ordinary people, the effect is immediate, because they are all lambs without a sense of self.

However, it is not as effective against noble knights with unwavering will.

Roman attributed this to a sense of sovereignty.

I understand you, but my stance and my thoughts don't allow me to support you.

Cao Cao sent Guan Yu countless venisons until Guan Yu died, at which point Guan Yu finally glanced back at Cao Cao, scaring the latter half to death.

Tashina's willpower is so strong that it has developed into a second skill; she's practically a superwoman, and it's very difficult to change her mind.

Enya is also the son of the Grand Duke of Oak, and the Oak Territory's estate awaits his inheritance. How could he possibly bow down and worship so readily?

Roman chose to continue recruiting.

Two thousand spots? That's nothing.

This is a time-consuming and laborious process because it involves selecting suitable talent.

As night fell, Roman had only managed ten consecutive 10-pulls.

After the initial success with two gold medals, the biggest surprise was recruiting a White Knight.

……

Four-star Raymond (can be given the title of Apostle)

Attack: B-, Defense: B-, Speed: B-, Constitution: C+, Energy: B+
Talent: Intuition - Enhances combat intelligence

First skill: Valiant and skilled in battle - extremely rich in combat experience

Second Skill: Brilliant Blade - Attack energy is converted, and its power is greatly increased.

……

Needless to say.

These are definitely the attributes of a high-ranking knight.

However, the White Knight only pledged allegiance to Iotashina.

Raymond is also quite old.

Roman had also dealt with the group of White Knights during this time and learned that the youngest of them was over 130 years old and the oldest was 160 years old.

They were the remnants of the conqueror era and the last of the White Knights.

They all had ancient Shenon blood. When Ionus went on his expedition, they had not yet grown up and were left behind deep in the palace. They were a group of people with similar experiences to the court witches.

These ancient Shin'on people have long lifespans, high ranks, and have mastered advanced combat techniques.

What is the Brilliant Blade?
That's a superhuman who can unleash sword energy with his bare hands!

Splitting mountains and cracking rocks is no problem for them.

Iotashina learned her sword-wielding skills from them; those were all deadly battlefield techniques.

It wouldn't hurt for the River Valley Army to have more contact with them.

……

When the banquet arrived, Tashina still hadn't returned from the military camp.

When Roman learned that Princess White Steel was going to stay in the military camp, he was speechless. He thought this woman was a bit crazy. Why would she not sleep in the comfortable and warm manor room and insist on spending the night in the military camp during the winter?

Moreover, they were overly belligerent.

Excluding the White Knights and high-ranking Black Iron soldiers, Tashina's combat strength is arguably the best in the military camp. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, she can do whatever she wants.

His mind was completely preoccupied. Today had drastically changed his worldview and given him a glimpse into the face of the human empire.

The ancient Sinnoh people were considered advanced humans, possessing profound wisdom and immunity to disease. They could live for two hundred years without illness or disaster. However, their bloodline has now declined, and the Black Iron Lands are now filled with Sinnoh descendants.

Roman realized that the attribute boost he had given to the apostle had apparently triggered the latter's second growth spurt, causing it to grow in size and develop muscles, transforming it from a skinny little monkey into a muscular man in just a few short years.

Is this a form of atavism, or a genetic modification technique?

Roman pondered to himself.

I thought of elven bloodlines, and then I thought of deep-sea bloodlines...

He turned to the manor steward and said, "Go and summon all the people Nelly sent for me."

The butler, who was originally a male servant, immediately went to do it.

Before long, six sea castle maids entered the hall and knelt respectfully in a row before Roman.

Night had fallen, and the hall was brightly lit. Roman's eyesight was excellent, and he could see their light blue or blue hair and their exotic facial features. They were quite beautiful, only slightly inferior to Neliel.

He said, "This is the first time I've summoned you."

“Your Highness, that is indeed the case.” Head maid Nina bowed her head deeply.

"You won't blame me for neglecting you, will you?" Roman interlaced his fingers and placed them on his abdomen.

“Your Highness, I didn’t mean that,” Nina said. She didn’t dare to blame her, but she was definitely upset.

Neliel sent them here, saying that it might take some time for them to be tempered, and that they should be patient. She assured them that as long as they built a good relationship with Prince Roman, there would definitely be a good outcome.

However, since the latter conquered Plenty City, they have been away from Origin City for ten months out of the year and have not been able to find any opportunities. By the time they discovered this, their jobs were already fixed, and skipping work would definitely cause resentment and would not be allowed. They would not even have the right to speak with the King of the Valley.

It's been almost two years!
Do you know how we've gotten through the past two years?
Having been teaching at the school with a sense of grievance, everyone finally met him in person, and they all felt speechless and tears welled up in their eyes.

Roman glanced at Neliel's relationship rating, which remained above 85, and said, "You've done a good job these past two years."

He valued education highly, and the school system was established during Neliel's time.

The school has over two hundred teachers, including those from the Origin and Abundance schools, who manage nearly ten thousand children and are extremely busy.

Each month, he can bring in nearly eighty graduates – this number is gradually increasing, and it is estimated that by next year there will be one hundred graduates each month.

Of course, upon checking their educational background, it turned out they all graduated from the second grade of primary school, making them true primary school students!

Graduates were assigned jobs, doing clerical work. Daily tasks included compiling statistics on agricultural tool production and wear and tear, livestock slaughter, grain and vegetable reserves, household registration records for self-cultivating farmers, accounting, and government pensions. Alternatively, they could follow Morey and Daken into business.

Don't tell them how difficult it is.

Graduation is the first hurdle, and finding a job is the second.

They are now apprentices, and their job is to write down numbers and words in a small notebook with a pen. They are considered successful if they make sure that the numbers and words are correct.

Those who do not meet the standards will be kicked out to do manual labor.

This behavior itself also serves to popularize education.

Learning through labor, learning through work—Roman called them Boy Scouts.

Even graduates who are laid off from their jobs can still make a positive contribution to society.

Roman didn't expect all 10,000 students to become successful. Even if only one-tenth remained in the end, it would greatly reduce the administrative burden five years later. They were learning the laws of Origin City and following the principles of the King of the Valley. They were truly rising stars of the future.

The six sea fortress maids played a certain role in the school, but not much; they were basically homeroom teachers who also served as grade heads.

It's likely that Niliel had already provided them with professional training, which is why they were able to adapt to the teaching task so quickly.

"You come from Sea Castle. Just tell me what reward you want, and I will grant it if I can."

After a moment of silence, Nina immediately said, "Your Highness, we hope to have the opportunity to serve you."

Is that all?
