While Elven was still running around in the mainland for a new territory, in Georgia and the Far Sail Territory of the New World, a campaign to eradicate illiteracy had already begun.
The small square, the church, the town hall, and other places where people could study together were crowded with eager adult citizens.
"Apples, oranges, bananas, cotton, tobacco …"
They started with the simplest things they came into contact with in daily life.
116 elites who had been reborn from the inside out were sent back to the New World by the [Miracle Crown]'s [Dream Cruise].
Elvin assigned his direct disciples, Calvin, Jacob, and Kyle, to cooperate with the administrative staff in the territory. With some of the elites as the backbone, they transferred clerks from the administrative system to establish a literacy department.
Because it was slowly entering winter again, the colony's agricultural population had finally reached slack time. Instead of letting them lazily bask in the sun and play cards, it was better to seize the time to enrich themselves. With the continuous advancement of the territory's industrialization in the future, they would have more opportunities to choose.
After all, even counting the free people with higher status among the natives, the two territories of the Amor family and the Garriott family added together only had a total of more than 600,000 people.
And most of them were low-quality people who were illiterate, which greatly limited the scale of the territory's industries in the future.
Since there was a lack of population and labor, they had to work hard to improve the quality of the existing population. The first step Elvin had to do was to start with the national literacy campaign.
The territory's propaganda slogan was also great.
In order to avoid "young people growing in the darkness without a future and knowledge, and will go to the suffering of this world and the next world", this plan was implemented.
Therefore, this remote marquisate far away from the center of the world became the first place in the world to implement compulsory education!
Adults were like this, and children of the right age were the most important.
Schools in the main cities had begun to be built or renovated, and for the construction of rural schools, the territory directly provided funding and land support.
It stipulated that parents must send their children between the ages of 7 and 12 to school to learn reading, writing, computing, and all courses that could improve their happiness and welfare. The tuition could be paid from the local relief fund.
Under the implementation of this policy of emphasizing education, it might not take a generation. Those who were trained to obey the government, to fear God and nature, and to be diligent and thrifty would become the greatest wealth of the marquisate.
This would provide an inexhaustible source of motivation for the rise of the territory.
Of course, with the gradual development of productivity and the gradual improvement of society, there were indeed people who advocated a seemingly more advanced, civilized, and democratic political model from the era of city-states — "Square Politics".
They believed that people were born to be depraved, that the general will was the way of the king, and that the tool to rule people was ideology. The public square was also the best space for citizens to fight for rights and provide opportunities for political discussion. People rushed to the public square enthusiastically to accept the baptism of unity of thought.
In the beginning, the elites of Ilya had united all the third-class citizens, and in the end, they represented the public's will to overthrow the original ruling class. They had also taken this path.
Some people treated it like a treasure, but Elvin discarded it like a worn-out shoe.
History had long proven that for a country to truly rise, power had to be centralized to a certain extent, and democracy and freedom had to be limited to a certain extent.
"Square politics" was definitely not suitable for a large country with a vast territory.
From this point of view, Mr. Elvin St. was indeed a firm advocate of [Royalty], and in the marquisate, he himself was the embodiment of [Royalty]!
After another busy day, the three of them returned to the Waterfall Hill Wizard Tower in the central part of the Georgia territory with the help of the portal solidified in the wizard tower.
At this time, Jacob and Kyle, who were a step behind, had successfully completed their promotion at the turn of autumn and winter this year. As the third and fourth disciple, they had overtaken the second disciple, Calvin.
While they began to share some of the management work of the school, they did not put down their own research.
After returning to the wizard tower and having a dinner carefully cooked by the "Night Spirit" maid, they sat together again and began to catch up with the research progress.
"Calvin, I think we are not meticulous enough in the three general directions of the animal world, the plant world, and the single-celled organism world in between. We should still be able to do some subdivision at the source. "
Calvin, who also liked to explore and get to know the world, had replaced Kyle, who was obsessed with medical skills and the mysteries of the human body, as Jacob's new partner.
"I think we can start to summarize and subdivide based on the current framework. When we draw the tree diagram and discover more patterns between species, it won't be too late to add to it.
And I think there is a certain continuity between species from simple to complex. I also want to use the general law to explore this change from simple to complex … "
Suddenly.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! "
The distant sound of a bell that penetrated one's soul suddenly came from the distant horizon.
"Look, in the sky!"
Kyle, who was closest to the window, suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed.
The three of them abruptly rose to their feet and looked out of the window of the tower. In the pitch-black sky in the northwest, it seemed as if the entire sky was being burned by a great fire. The brilliant light seemed to have dyed half of the night sky of the New World a golden-red color.
It was even more gorgeous than the aurora.
They did not need to open their spiritual vision, as wizards, they could clearly feel the storm in the spiritual world.
"That … seems to be the eastern border of the new Shilius vice king district."
Then.
Boom boom boom …
The rolling thunder in the sky, across hundreds of kilometers of space, entered their ears clearly. That was the aftermath of another chaotic battle!
.....
Since the spiritual overflow incident in Lake Huron at the beginning of the year, it had been almost a year.
"Death God" Wu Hao's influence had almost disappeared in the new continent, in the knowledge of the Atreans who retained the established tradition of the "God-Killing Feast".
A totem god without the ability to protect his believers was worthless, even if he was once a high-level totem god, second only to a demigod.
The shaman group and its subordinate totem gods that originally belonged to Wu Hao went through a civil war. Some of them returned to their wild state, and most of them were absorbed by "Lady Crow" Yeherr and "Sea Mother" Milo.
The entire northern part of the new continent had become a situation where two strong forces were fighting.
There was no need to worry about a third party interfering, as long as they defeated the other party, they would be able to monopolize the spiritual origin of the entire northern part of the continent, and the intensity of the battle increased by a large margin.
At the same time.
Since the first large-scale impact of the Spirit Tide last year, as the entire new continent was constantly overflowing with traces of spiritual origin, the magic element activity on the new continent was rapidly increasing.
If it was quantified using data, when Elvin first came to the new continent, the magic element activity might have been 60%, and at the same time, the magic element activity in the old continent was only 50%.
Today, the magic element activity in the new continent had reached at least 62%, and the growth rate of this activity was still accelerating, making the natural spirits and "ghosts" stronger and stronger.
However, the warriors of the Cumberland Line of Defense were more than capable of dealing with ordinary natural spirits and "ghosts".
Their tactics and tactics had been completely formed after a year of training, and it had become instinctive for everyone to use different kinds of tactics, countermeasures, and weapons against different types of enemies.
Moreover, a large number of official Knight level Flesh Puppets were stationed in the various sentry posts, adding a layer of reliable protection to their forces.
Even during the Spirit Tide impact caused by the unprecedented "Spirit Overflow" yesterday, the Cumberland Line of Defense did not fall due to the timely dispatch of the Transcendent support team.
Cough cough, it was not without a price. The garrison soldiers might have been "mentally contaminated" by hundreds of millions of points.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In front of them was a vigorous figure holding a thin straight blade, and behind him were five powerful spirits that were unknown whether they were monkeys or orangutans.
The figure in front was running while constantly slapping his overly round and perky buttocks.
"Come and catch me! If you catch me, I'll let you … hehehe! Hahaha … "
Boom!
In the face of such provocation, even the monkeys would be furious. They pulled up a giant tree beside them and threw it at him.
At this moment, there were two figures tailing them from afar.
"It's so embarrassing. Can we … change the mission?"
"Bear with it. We'll be free as long as we stay with him for a month. Let's go and get rid of these five monkeys as soon as possible. "
With the help of [Eve Litt's Sacrifice] in the defense line, the Sharkman Baldwin became the first to break through the shackles of the Skinned Man and successfully advanced to the peak of Grade 2.
Every sentry post was equipped with an [Arena Altar] and a [Gladiator Amulet]. Even Billy, the artificial "clockwork man" whose combat power had already surpassed the peak of Grade 2, had his physical body strengthened by quite a bit.
The other person in the three-man team was Bradley the Oathbreaker's former subordinate, the peak official Knight Onions who had been recognized by the ancient gods for his potential and strength.
The mission area of these three powerful Transcendent was not only the Cumberland Line of Defense, but also the Abayache Line of Defense in the north, where the situation was more severe.
"Let's end this quickly!"
.....
Relying on the Abayache Line of Defense that stretched from north to south, the Faletis colony, including Georgia, Far Sail, and the Faletis colony, even if Elvin, his sister, and Olivia were not at home, the defense was still in order.
After going through at least a year of adaptation, they had enough tenacity to persist for a long time.
But at the same time, Buffalo, which was located in the northern part of the continent and lacked a systematic defense force, was in a different situation.
The people who were already suffering from the ravages of ghouls welcomed the increasing flood of "ghosts", and all production and life were close to collapse.
The ghouls who still controlled this place were far from the organizational power of the kingdom, and the people did not have any decent supernatural resistance force.
Moreover, the ghouls also set up roadblocks between the cities of Buffalo, counted the people every day, and adopted a series of the most stringent measures to restrict the flow of people, directly cutting off the possibility of escape from the source, and no one could even think about leaving their own place.
During the day, they were still picked by the ghouls who were still here and turned into rations.
Now, at night, there was the never-absent Ghost Parade.
"Ga ga —!"
"Wu wu wu …"
Old Owl's laughter mixed with an inexplicable cry made people's hair stand on end.
But even in a large city like Syracuse, there was nothing they could do. They could only hide in the house and tremble with their heads in their hands.
Suddenly.
"Don't come over, ah —!"
Shrill screams pierced through the night sky.
The pungent smell of blood had already spread to the neighbor's house just a wall away.
The adults could only tremble and cover the children's ears and mouths. In the pairs of dark eyes without any hope, only the instinct to pursue survival was left.
Day after day, month after month, there would be a day when the trial of death would come, and that day was not too far away.
Because in just a short year, the 400,000 people who originally lived in this treasure land, including those who fled to other Union colonies, had lost nearly half of their population.
Following the news of Ilya's defeat, the ghouls' rule became more and more crazy.
In short.
No matter how perfect Elvin's blueprint was, the second territory of the Marquis Kingdom had already turned into a hell on earth filled with skeletons, skeletons, and demons.
