Ringbearers were, to some extent, the highest position in St. Freya Academy. They were an honor that the students earned with their own strength and could not be stripped away. Compared to them, even the dean could be replaced.
Of course, the dean could only be replaced in name. In reality, it was impossible. Even if Antonio were to get Alzheimer's from today onwards and dress up as a woman and go square dancing every day, it would take a year and a half to replace him according to the normal procedure.
As the Blue Rose who had the highest grades in history and fed the guide elf the most, Luo Ya's treatment was naturally not bad. In fact, when the academy gave this record holder his own building and training ground, he was given the choice to choose. This kind of right to choose was very comfortable.
St. Freya Academy provided Luo Ya with many choices, but there were three that were the most tempting. The first was a tower in the main campus, the second was a villa complex by the lake, and the third was a manor by the mountain far away.
In terms of area, although the tower was tall, it had the smallest area nearby. The manor included the forest beside it, so it was much larger. The largest was the villa complex by the lake. As long as he took it, the whole lake would be Luo Ya's.
But as the saying goes, quality is more important than quantity. In terms of land value, every inch of land in the central campus was worth gold. It was the busiest area in the vast St. Freya Academy. The food street was so close that it could be seen with the naked eye. The commercial area was also very close. All kinds of campus activities were held here, and it had a somewhat urbanized feel.
Without a doubt, with this place as the base of Blue Rose's faction, he could fully enjoy the life in the academy.
He could go downstairs and eat the food from the specialty stalls in the campus. He could immediately know about the discounts and discounts in the commercial area. He could participate in campus activities when he went out, and watch concerts when he opened the window. Every day, he could sleep in until ten minutes before class started. This was the ideal campus life for many students who lived in remote dormitories.
With convenient transportation, one could enjoy one's youth to the fullest. If it was in his previous life, Luo Ya would definitely have bought this place on the spot. However, in Xi Ya and Saint Freya Academy, a training ground related to supernatural powers was also a very important factor. In this aspect, the tower was not suitable. It was obvious that a large training ground could not be built in this central area.
On the other side, the villa complex by the lake was much cheaper, but the accommodation conditions were the best. Basically, it was a single small villa with a beautiful view of the lake. It was a sacred place for couples to date. If there was nothing to do, they could even go boating. The school's aquatic activities and projects were all carried out here. The training ground was connected to the land and the water, and it was very wide. For students who cultivated water-related spells, it was the best choice in school.
It was about half an hour's walk from the center of the academy. It would take more than ten minutes to move with the unique curse vessel train in the academy. The distance could only be said to be neither too far nor too close. It was similar to the suburbs, and it was similar to the various dormitory areas. There were no convenient attributes.
The last one, the manor in the mountain, was not worth mentioning. The location was close to the edge of the academy. It could be said to be relatively remote. It took a few hours to walk from the center of the academy. Even if one took the curse vessel train, it would take an hour to get there. The transportation was very inconvenient.
But in contrast, the whole building was quite magnificent. The interior decoration was also very luxurious. It was said that it was built during the heyday of the great aristocrats of Austin in the past. The training ground was quite large.
Of course, these attributes were all secondary. What really gave this building an advantage over the other two was the mountain where the manor was located. To put it simply, this mountain had a secret realm.
Watcher Valley, this was a special secret realm that could only be entered near the mountain forest like Demon's Night. However, unlike the completely safe Demon's Night, this secret realm, which seemed to have a much milder name, was actually dangerous, but the probability was relatively low.
Every time Watcher Valley opened, the team that entered would be forced to apply a special life binding curse. Unless everyone died, they would be forcibly petrified when they were fatally injured. They would become a watcher waiting for their teammates to rescue them. In this case, after eliminating the monster, they would be pulled out of the secret realm to remove the petrification.
But if the entire team was wiped out or stayed in the secret realm for more than three days, then the petrification would be automatically lifted. The person who was fatally injured would basically die.
In general, this secret realm was not very dangerous. As long as there was a person at the entrance who could escape at any time to report the news, they could more or less avoid being wiped out. But occasionally, people who entered would go too far, or like the victims in the records, were buried because the terrain changed during the battle and could not be found. Then, they would really be dead.
For a long time, because of this reason, Watcher Valley had not been included in the practical teaching of the academy. After all, losing a battle in this secret realm was equivalent to going missing. A few small teams would be fine, but if thousands of people were scattered all at once, hundreds of people would go missing. Even if the search and rescue team knew the location, they would be exhausted to death.
It was certainly not possible to use it on a large scale, but it was still barely usable for the actual combat of a small elite team. After all, if they wanted to engage in actual combat, they would have to follow the mentors or Ringbearers on missions. In that case, there was no guarantee that they would be in danger.
Such three options were placed in front of Luo Ya. For a time, he was quite hesitant. But as the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. After careful consideration, Luo Ya decided to choose the manor with the secret realm.
There were three main reasons for choosing this place. The first and most important reason was that Luo Ya had analyzed the composition of his faction members.
As a noble of the St. Mestre Theocracy, Luo Ya was originally the second-in-command of the Nuo Aier Group. Normally, he should be managing the faction on behalf of Her Royal Highness. But now that he had become an Ringbearer, he naturally could not work for Miss Angel. After all, Ringbearers were equal in name.
But even if he did not work for them, he could not poach from the corner of the St. Mestre Theocracy. Similarly, the elites of Rose were under the jurisdiction of the two girls. So after careful consideration, Luo Ya targeted the local civilians, the children of merchants, and the lower-born nobles.
This group could be said to be the most hardworking group in the St. Freya Academy. Most of them did not have anything to inherit after graduation, so they entered the academy to improve themselves. As a person who had been forced to constantly improve himself from a young age, Luo Ya was very willing to provide a channel for these hardworking people.
Of course, Luo Ya was not a pure Mr. Nice Guy. The second reason he chose this place was to recruit a group of talents for Akat Hill. After all, these students who did not have the inheritance of their ancestors needed to find a job after graduation. And as the acting lord of his own territory, Luo Ya could directly make the decision to recruit people without any notice.
The third reason was the problem of the secret realm.
As a secret realm, the Watcher Valley was not completely safe. There were many problems, but the main problem was that it was difficult to find people. But this problem was not a problem for Luo Ya because he had the help of Pei Tela.
Where were the people buried? The search and rescue team could not find them, but how could the Mother Earth not find them?
The most difficult problem to solve in the Watcher Valley was not a problem for Luo Ya at all. Because of this, Luo Ya chose it. On the other hand, Luo Ya was also full of interest in the existence of the secret realm.
After making a clear choice, the academy began to send special staff to clean and renovate the building. It would take about half a month. Luo Ya did not need to care about this. It was better to say that he was busy with other things now.
Yesterday at the Broken Sword Tavern, Luo Ya, who chose not to interfere, drank a lot with Chris. After re-examining the character of this mentor, he finally came to the conclusion that Chris was really a very pure person.
Whether it was liking or disliking, Chris never hid it. Generally speaking, he was the same on the surface. It was just that he had developed some bad habits after so many years of being heartbroken, such as smoking when he was anxious. But compared to that, he had more advantages. The most obvious one was his attentiveness. In order to let Luo Ya catch up with his classes as soon as possible, he even found a senior to tutor him!
In St. Freya's Academy, after choosing a mentor, they would have to attend the mentor's class. However, unlike the other majors, the mentor's class was attended by students of all grades. The content of the class differed according to the mentor, and among them, Chris's Classroom was famous for its high difficulty.
If there was no help, even if Luo Ya had a certain foundation, it would probably take him half a year to gradually integrate into the class. But if there were senior students to tutor him, it would be a different story.
