Suhlen, Chris, Hathaway, Alex, Phyllis, Karina, Grace, and the others were all sitting together in the astrology platform of the wizard tower. Wizard Lorraine and Wizard Andre were also listening on the side.
"What did you say?"
Hathaway was stunned after hearing Suhlen's words. It was obvious that Suhlen's words had a huge impact on her. "You're planning to officially open a wizard academy? And it's not going to be a teacher-student education system? Instead, it's going to be a classroom education system? "
As Hathaway's voice faded, the other people on the scene were also a little surprised.
In this era, the education system was very low. Not to mention wizard academies, even normal academies were educated like aristocrats and elites. If a wizard only taught a few students, the commoners wouldn't be able to read for the rest of their lives. Wizard academies were even more serious. They would usually select some apprentices to join the academy, and after some screening, they would accept the ones with the best qualifications. The rest of them would serve the academy as wizard apprentices.
The probability of those wizard apprentices becoming high-ranking wizards was very low. Most of them would become low-ranking wizards to create value for the academy.
"Yes." Suhlen nodded. He had already prepared for the establishment of a wizard academy a long time ago, but the conditions were not right yet. He looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to open a wizard academy!"
"You should have noticed it by now. The elemental tide has begun again!"
"The elemental tide has really begun?" Hearing Suhlen's words, the other spellcasters were stunned. As spellcasters, they naturally knew the meaning of the elemental tide.
In the world of wizards, everything in the world was made up of energy. The whole world was filled with energy, but only a small part of this energy could be used by them. This was the elemental energy.
Energy was not static because all the energy came from the original sea. Therefore, the elemental energy was constantly moving. Some of the original sea's movements were similar to the sea. Just like how the sea had its ebb and flow, the original sea also had its own way of moving.
This was the Elemental Tide. When the Elemental Tide began, the concentration of Elemental Energy in the entire Multiverse would slowly increase. This process of increase would continue for hundreds of years, and even many planes that were originally lacking in Elemental Energy would become rich in Elemental Energy.
Of course, this was a good thing for wizards. This meant that it would be easier for them to increase their strength, and the world's upper limit would also increase.
The material plane was like a fish pond. Before the Elemental Tide came, the water in the pond was not deep, and the shallow water could only support small fish and shrimps. After the Elemental Tide came, the water level in the pond would rise rapidly, creating an environment for the big fish to live in. Therefore, every time the Elemental Tide came, all kinds of Legendary champions would emerge one after another like bamboo shoots after the rain.
In history, there was no lack of talented geniuses, but they were born at the end of the Elemental Tide. Their elemental energy continued to decline until it finally fell to the freezing point. Then, they wasted their entire lives and were unable to enter the Legendary realm.
Now that they knew that the Elemental Tide was coming again, these Spell Casters were naturally excited.
"What? You don't believe me? Then you can ask Hathaway. She's a Legendary Wizard. She should know more about the Elemental Tide than I do! "Seeing the look in their eyes, Suhlen said with a smile.
Hathaway looked at them and nodded. "During this period of time, the concentration of elemental energy has been slowly rising. The probability of the Elemental Tide coming is very high."
After hearing Hathaway's words, a trace of joy flashed in the eyes of these Spell Casters. It was obvious that they would be able to enjoy the benefits of the Elemental Tide. After getting the confirmation, everyone kept talking.
"Dong dong dong!" Seeing that these people were getting further and further away from the topic, Suhlen could only knock on the table and remind them.
"Today, we are discussing about the Wizard Academy. You can discuss the Elemental Tide in private!"
"Uh, yes, sir!" Everyone stopped talking.
After the hall became quiet again, Suhlen continued, "There's another benefit of the Elemental Tide. The number of people with the potential to become a Wizard will increase. There are now hundreds of thousands of people in the North Town City. There are many newborns with the potential to become a Wizard. We must make use of them."
"Quite a few wizards have come to North Town City these days. Although most of them are low ranking wizards, they don't know many spells, and they aren't very powerful, the knowledge they have accumulated is very valuable."
"If the North Wind Duchy wants to develop, we need a lot of talents!"
"Also, we have built the largest Wizard Tower in the Northern Wasteland, but we don't have enough Wizard Apprentices to do the daily work. The maintenance of the Wizard Tower can't all rely on the Puppet Golems. Although they are very useful, there are still some details that they can't handle. A functioning Adept Tower requires a large number of Apprentice Adepts and low-grade Adepts. "
"We don't use the aristocratic elite education method because although it's good, the efficiency is too low. A Wizard usually teaches six to seven Wizard Apprentices. It's too slow compared to the big classroom education method! "
"Also, this kind of big classroom education method doesn't have high requirements for the teachers. Although the old way didn't teach many Wizard Apprentices, it took up a lot of time. After all, not all Wizard Apprentices have the same learning speed."
"Now that we're following the big classroom style of education, this kind of situation is rare. We can divide these apprentices into several stages. Every wizard only needs to take out a class every day to teach them in turn, and those apprentice wizards will be able to obtain a large amount of knowledge."
"Under this kind of education method, the Wizard Apprentices will have enough time to do all kinds of research and learning. It's like killing three birds with one stone." Suhlen explained the benefits of this kind of education method.
As soon as he finished speaking, Karina continued, "Lord Duke, the method you're talking about does have a lot of benefits, but it also has a lot of problems. The most important thing is that the success rate of Wizard Apprentices who use this method to become a high-ranking Wizard will decrease."
"You know, the value of a high-ranking Wizard is more than a hundred low-ranking Wizards and Wizard Apprentices. This kind of education method will cause a gap in the high-end fighting power of our Northern Town City!"
Suhlen smiled and said, "Karina, I understand your concern, but it's not impossible to solve. Just like you said, if the success rate of becoming a high-ranking Wizard is decreased, then we can increase the number of Wizard Apprentices. We can increase the number of Wizard Apprentices who can successfully become a high-ranking Wizard Apprentice. "
"But there aren't many Wizard Apprentices in the first place. Even if there's an Elemental Tide, there won't be many Wizard Apprentices. It won't reach the level you're talking about."
Suhlen laughed in his heart. Of course, the Elemental Tide alone wouldn't be enough, but with the bonus of the Arcane Garden and the Arcane Praise from the Duchy of North Wind, the number of Wizard Apprentices in the Northern Town City would increase by a few times.
With such a base number of Wizard Apprentices, even if they used the big classroom education method, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough Wizard Apprentices to become high-ranking Wizards.
"That's not necessarily true." Suhlen smiled mysteriously at him and continued, "If you're worried about the education in the big classroom, we can also give some of them individual tutoring. We can gather some of the Wizard Apprentices who have good potential and give them special treatment. We can train them as elites. "
"This way, the number of Wizard Apprentices who can become high-ranking Wizards will definitely increase."
After hearing Suhlen's solution, everyone thought it was a good idea.
"Also, we will build a Golem Workshop in the future, as well as some other workshops. This will require a lot of labor, including polishing the parts of the Golem, assembling the structure of the Golem, arranging the rune paths, and so on. These parts can be done by Wizard Apprentices. If we can form a production line, then the Wizard Apprentices will only need to activate the Golem Workshop. In that case, the wizards only need to be responsible for the most important activation and charging parts. This way, we can increase efficiency. "
Suhlen said with a smile. This kind of education method could provide a lot of manpower for the Northern Town City. The Northern Town City didn't lack people who worked at the bottom. What the Wizard Tower needed was skilled labor.
To Suhlen, the Wizard Apprentices were like tools. They didn't need to be strong or have ideas. They just needed to work according to Suhlen's requirements. That's right, Suhlen was now getting closer to capitalists.
"In order to build the academy, we're going to recruit more Wizards as teachers.
We've also discussed the conditions. As long as they pass the exam, they can join our Wizard Academy! "
After gathering the opinions of others, the Northwind Principality officially started the Northwind Academy. At the same time, many wandering Wizards came here in advance. After hearing about the benefits of the Northwind Academy, many Wizards went to sign up.
After everything was arranged, Suhlen began to busy himself with other things. Suhlen sent two construction teams to build the Wizard Academy. The others were also busy. Hathaway was mainly learning the knowledge of Enigma. Once she mastered the knowledge of Enigma, she would build Enigma around the Wizard Tower. Alex was in charge of the Mystery Realm, and Kris was in charge of the underground world. Karina and Grace helped Suhlen manage the city.
Everything in the Northern Town City was developing in an orderly manner. In addition, Suhlen also planned to upgrade the academy in the Northern Town City. In the past, the academy in the Northern Town City was called an academy, but in reality, it was used to train low-level officials. Now, Suhlen wanted to train more people.
The Northern Town City was limited by the lack of talents when it was first developed. If the Northwind Principality wanted to develop quickly, it naturally needed to train more talents.
