Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 38:37: Growth

Chapter 38:37: Growth (Seeking follow-up reading)
As time entered December of the 310th year of the New Divine Calendar, the students of the Philante School of Magic were forced into a busy period.

The reason is simple. A semester is about to end, so naturally there must be an assessment.

If you fail in swordsmanship, physical fitness, and other subjects, you must retake them.

The magic academy has always been lenient in admission but difficult in graduation, and even a small test in one semester is not easy to pass.

Of course, for Luoyi, no problem is a big deal.

In terms of physical fitness, he is stronger than his physical fitness teacher Matthew Bolivar.

When it comes to swordsmanship, fencing teacher Williams Culler has to ask him for advice.

As for the examinations in various subjects, he would get full marks as long as he put in the slightest effort.

With Deep Blue around, it was difficult for him to lose points on these knowledge points that required rote memorization.

However, since I hardly attended classes, I am not familiar with the substitute teachers.

Well, that’s too euphemistic. I guess we basically never met, so I got almost no points in class.

The two things offset each other, and it is definitely qualified, but it is not a high score either.

The only class he took seriously was "Basic Meditation", but as someone who had no introduction to meditation, he didn't get many points in the class.

It is worth mentioning that, because of the basic meditation class, Luo Yi paid special attention to the students in the class and found that twenty-one students had already started to learn meditation.

Twenty-one people, accounting for one-third of the class, put in a semester and nearly four months of serious study and meditation guidance, and they finally possessed the magic.

Seriously speaking, this ratio is not low. Although meditation is difficult to get started with, it is not so difficult that you cannot learn it.

As long as it is promoted according to the existing education system, the introduction to meditation will inevitably become younger and younger. Who knows, one day, the Habsburg Empire will be able to popularize magic among the entire population.

A 100% penetration rate is definitely impossible, but 80% to 90% is still possible.

In this way, magic firearms can become conventional weapons, and the Habsburg Empire will have terrible war potential.

Just thinking about the scene of countless soldiers holding magical guns and pushing magical cannons and marching into the battlefield, Luo Yi felt a little chilly.

If that scene really happens, maybe it will be a world war?
After the examination, it is naturally time for vacation. The education system of the Habsburg Empire also has winter and summer vacations, but they are shorter.

For example, the winter vacation is from the end of December to the middle of January, which is about half a month.

During this period, we have to go through the two most important festivals in the Old World - Christmas and Grace.

Christmas, as the name suggests, is the birthday of God.

According to legend, December 12 is the day when the sun god was born and the day when Helka brought good news to all living beings, so there is this "Christmas".

Although the Habusid Empire has converted to the Seven Gods as its state religion, the status of the sun god in this empire has been greatly shaken.

However, customs are not so easy to change, and the beliefs of ordinary people are not so easy to shake.

Therefore, Christmas is still extremely important!
However, it is also very obvious that the Habsburg Empire downplayed Christmas.

For example, the celebrations that were once inevitable are no longer visible.

For example, the prayers organized by the Sun God Church did not cause much waves.

Instead, the Feast of Divine Grace gradually stood out.

Grace Day is celebrated on January 1st of each year. It is the beginning of the year and symbolizes beginning and hope.

This is also an existing festival, but after the advent of the seven gods, it was given more and richer connotations.

On this day, the Church of the Seven Gods will hold a grand prayer, and there is even a possibility that God’s grace and blessings will be bestowed.

On this day, the Habsburg Empire will also hold an open-air party.

In the square, there will be sufficient food and drinks prepared for everyone who goes out to eat and drink as they please.

On this day, people would put down their work, put on new clothes, sing and dance around the bonfire, and even young boys and girls would secretly get married.

It can be said that this is the most important festival in the Habsburg Empire. Even though it hasn't arrived yet, Chloe can already feel the cheerful atmosphere in the air.

Of course, all of the above has nothing to do with Luo Yi.

On December 12, after the last examination, the magic academy was almost deserted.

Most of the students left one after another, so that the college seemed a bit empty.

Most of them are from around Auckland, so it is convenient for them to go home. But for Luo Yi, half a month may not be enough for him to make a round trip.

More importantly, Luo Yi didn't know what attitude he should have when facing those acquaintances in Ferro Town. It would be better not to go back.

For him, it’s just a matter of practicing and studying, and there isn’t much change.

Woolley Aaron's death happened quietly and has become an unsolved case. Roy is the biggest suspect, but the question is, where is the evidence?

From beginning to end, Woolley Aaron had never seen Roy's face. Even if he found a necromancer or summoned the resentful spirit, he would not be able to correct him.

What's more, the Public Security Bureau has neither the motivation nor the professional ability to investigate further, so it can only let the case be shelved.

This kind of thing was so common that apart from Woolley Aaron's second son going to the police station to make trouble, there was no other movement.

His businesses were quickly divided up by other businessmen, and Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory also got a share.

Then there is Ange's Brotherhood. He is a man who knows how to seize opportunities. After the Razor Gang was killed by Loy, he immediately organized people and occupied most of the Razor Gang's blocks and businesses.

They took over smoothly, but after all, they were just a bunch of little brats and were easily looked down upon.

Having suddenly occupied such a big piece of fat meat, it is natural that other gangs are eyeing it covetously.

Ang was not a reckless person. He first released the bodies of three second-level warriors in a high-profile manner, and then spread some true and false news.

This made the 'ghost bounty hunter' behind him even more fearsome, and no one dared to act rashly in the short term.

But this was certainly not enough, so he personally stepped forward, offered a lot of money in the name of "Ghost Hunter", and recruited some powerful people.

Then he hired several teachers for the children who had been following him before.

From enlightenment to writing, from mathematics to reading, from physical exercise to swordsmanship, the teaching is quite good!
As for himself, he didn't know how he managed to impress Oliveira.

Although he did not become a disciple, he would take time out every day to study and practice with Oliveira.

Compared to Luo Yi, he behaves more like a student and is more motivated.

Of course, everything he did was instructed by Luo Yi. It can even be said that many of the methods and approaches were taught to him by Luo Yi himself.

Koloy didn't know what he wanted to do. He had no intention of supporting a gang and unifying the underworld of Oakland.

It's just that when it comes to this, I just do it unconsciously.

What made Luo Yi happiest during this period was that there had been feedback from the Norman Duchy.

The first batch of products from the Chancellery Magic Textile Factory began to be sold in three cities in the Norman Duchy before Christmas.

Because of its good quality, low price and high quality, the product received great response and was sold out in just a few days.

The specific profit is still being calculated and it will take some time.

However, money was definitely made, and it was also an explanation given by Roy to the Raymond family.

Perhaps Earl Raymond doesn't care too much, but there are people in the family who gossip about him. Roy can only shut up those who gossip about him by making some achievements.

In addition, Loy also asked Butler Hoover to continue investigating other magic machinery factories, mainly focusing on transportation, metallurgy and other aspects.

The Xiangsheli Magic Energy Textile Factory was just a small test, and he would naturally get involved in other industries as well, but his favorite was actually Magic Energy Metallurgy.

There is no doubt that steel is the foundation of industrial development.

Not to mention guns, cannons and the like, the demand for transportation and construction alone will allow this industry to continue to expand.

However, at this stage, these are either aristocratic industries, or they are backed by powerful nobles with strong backing, so there is not much chance.

Time flies, and it is already December 310, 12 of the New Divine Calendar, the day after the ordinary 'Christmas'.

In the afternoon,

19 Lombard Street, inside the training ground on the first floor.

"315, 316, 317..."

Luo Yi was naked, wearing only a pair of underwear around his waist. He was holding a 50-kilogram dumbbell in each hand and doing squats.

As he exerted force, his muscles bulged, his blood vessels bulged, and he sweated profusely, causing his bronze skin to glow.

"...348, 349, 350!"

A set of high-intensity training finally ended. Luo Yi put down the dumbbells, and lay on the ground somewhat exhausted, gasping for breath, with heat steaming all over his body.

However, Luo Yi ignored the fatigue after training, and looked at the [Attribute Panel] in front of him.
