In an office of the Ministry of Education in Rodu, a rather old-fashioned official was looking at Byron with a concerned expression as he said, "Master, His Majesty has already approved the adoption of the decimal system, but he hasn't approved it as a standard for graduation for students. As such, there's a huge obstacle in the way of the implementation of the decimal system. Students might think that the hexadecimal system is being used in their exams, so they can't be bothered to spend time learning the decimal system."
Byron smiled as he looked at the official, and said, "That's within my expectations. The decimal system has only truly caught the attention of the scholars of the Roth Empire during the past three months. We've already proven the superiority of the decimal system in computing, but we still lack sufficient theory and research to support it as a subject that can be studied by the students of the Roth Empire. Academic promotion is a long-term endeavor, and I'm already prepared to spend five or even 10 years to perfect and promote the decimal system. "
The official's brows were still furrowed as he said, "But this victory is a very good opportunity for us. If we drag this out, the conservative faction could erase the negative impact of this debate. In that case, it would be very detrimental to the implementation of the decimal system."
"No, the victory of this debate is already a very good thing for us. It symbolizes the victory of the first confrontation between the reformists and the conservatives. Also, Fitch abandoned the conservatives and joined the reformists to learn the decimal system. It's also a very good guide for the young mathematicians and students." Byron shook his head with a smile, and said, "Our ministry of education is going to conduct some pilot programs for the decimal system in all of Rodu's academies. Even though we can't replace the hexadecimal system for now, we can nurture the interest of the students so that more children will have an opportunity to come into contact with the decimal system."
"That's a great idea." The official's eyes lit up.
Byron nodded, and said, "Go and draft a plan for now. See how many academies we can set up in Rodu, how many teachers we need, and how much budget we'll need. Give it to me for confirmation, and you can begin to implement it."
"Yes, Master." The official quickly departed.
Byron looked out at the old tree outside the window. The final leaf on the tree was struggling to resist the autumn wind, and it looked as if it were going to fall at any moment.
"I hope I can live to see the day when the decimal system is fully implemented in the Roth Empire …"
…
West of Rodu, General Barkley's mansion, the stud farm.
A tall young man rode a black unicorn and ran a few laps around the field. Then, he stopped at the edge of the horse field and got off the horse. He threw the reins in his hand to a servant who was waiting at the side and took a hot towel to wipe his hands. He looked at the young man in a black short-sleeved shirt and said, "What's the matter?"
"Young Master, we just received news that the person who won the best dish at the palace banquet that day …" The young man took a step forward and said softly.
"Is the news true?" Timothy's gaze suddenly turned cold, and there was a hint of ferocity on his face.
The young man hurriedly nodded, and said, "Yes, there's no problem with the source of the news. After that guy became famous, many people investigated his identity. This should be a second-hand reseller, and we've already verified it with Chaos City. Also, we lost contact with Bayson's team near Chaos City not long ago. "
"Gould, I didn't expect you to come back after a few years with a new face. You even learned how to cook. I really didn't expect that." Timothy clenched his fists tightly as he gritted his teeth, and said, "Kill him and that bastard, then find Phelia and bring her back to me!"
"Yes!" The young man cupped his fist in a respectful salute before quickly departing.
…
"You idiots! How many times do I have to repeat myself before you understand? This is how the string is connected. Otherwise, even if the spell formation is activated, it won't be able to move the wooden giant!
"Do you think I don't understand the principles behind spell formations? Do you think I don't know that I can only unleash one punch? If I can solve a one-second problem, why would I still need idiots like you?!
"Sigh, what a bunch of idiots!!!"
In the southwestern courtyard of the imperial palace, there was a floor full of wood and all types of crystals. The pockmarked Yuri was looking at all of the spell formation masters in the courtyard with their heads bowed in disappointment.
After a long silence, an old man suggested in a feeble voice, "Your Highness, perhaps we can try to change the power source stones to ones with higher energy …"
"You can try." Yuri nodded.
"Boom!"
10 minutes later, Yuri heaved a forlorn sigh as he looked at the dying old man hanging from the wall of the courtyard. "Old fool, do you think I wouldn't have thought of such a simple method? The power source stones have exceeded the limits of this spell formation, and the spell formation will explode as soon as it's activated.
"Didn't Father say that all of you are the most exceptional spell formation masters in the empire? Seeing all of you like this, it's very difficult for me to believe in the word 'exceptional' in the future. "Yuri looked at everyone with a disappointed expression.
…
Blour, who had changed into his male disguise, came to the restaurant early in the morning to pick up Anna. He took her on a tour of Chaos City before going to the city lord's castle.
The horse-drawn carriage stopped on the street near the city lord's castle, but Blour and Anna didn't disembark.
Two workers from the city lord's castle were pasting up a new announcement on the bulletin board next to the entrance of the city lord's castle. All of the passersby gathered around them curiously, wondering what new announcement the city lord's castle had made.
"From this day forth, Chaos City will be open to all elven nomads. Those who wish to join Chaos City will be given a green light after a thorough investigation. Furthermore, all groups and individuals who pose a threat to Chaos City will be severely punished …"
A young man standing in the front row announced in a loud voice.
"They finally have a sanctuary …" A smile appeared on Blour's face as he looked at the announcement on the bulletin board with excitement in his heart.
"Uncle Blour, does that mean we'll be very safe in Chaos City from now on? We won't have to worry about those bad guys coming to kidnap us anymore? "Anna looked up at Blour.
Blour nodded firmly in response. "That's right. Chaos City will be a sanctuary for nomadic elves from now on. As long as they enter Chaos City, they'll be safe."
"That's great." A vibrant smile appeared on Anna's face.
"That's right, that's great." Blour also smiled.
…
"Did you hear? During the king's birthday banquet, a chef from Chaos City won the best chef award! "
"Really? Could it be the head chef from Ducas Restaurant? "
"Beate didn't even receive an invitation; how could he have won the best chef award? I heard yesterday that the chef who won the best chef award was the owner of Mamy's."
"That bad * ss? How about we go and try it out for lunch today? "
