Up until now, there had been no stage or auditorium of such a scale. If one wanted to give a speech on a large scale, it would usually be held in the open-air square in the center of the town. It could be used for any political initiatives, military parades, and the like. However, Five-Union City was not an ordinary town. It was a gathering place built around the magic tower, so when they realized that they had to keep a square, they only left a small area.
Similarly, the system of the Society of Sorcerers was a collegial system. Although the president was nominally the president, his function was more like a speaker. However, when the person who was elected was strong enough and powerful enough, the president would have a lot of authority. Because most of the sorcerers did not have the patience to care about these trivial matters outside of magic, they were naturally very happy to have a powerful leader take over some of the trouble.
Since it was a collegial system, there was a meeting place. Of course, it was impossible to accommodate all the sorcerers. Only some highly respected people were qualified to enter the meeting after being elected and approved by the majority. Therefore, a meeting place for sorcerers would not be too big.
And Lin You had seen it before. It was similar to the circular meeting during the Republican period in ancient Rome, with the speaker standing in the center. It was similar to the Roman Coliseum, but it was a little smaller and had an additional roof. To be clear, it could not accommodate many people. It was bigger than the tavern that he had borrowed from Loyse, but it was still difficult to accommodate the number of people that he had seen yesterday.
To put it simply, if Lin Xiang wanted to continue to hold lectures, there was no hope for an indoor venue. The outdoor open space was only suitable for the square in Five-Union City, but if there were more people, it would not be a comfortable environment. Considering that he did not create the charm of a rock and roll dance floor, he had to consider the arrangement more loosely. As for the manor provided by the president, the situation could only be confirmed after actually seeing it.
And the plan of the academy, with the support of the president, was in full swing.
Because it was in the initial stage, there was not much to do. The most difficult part was to get the list of magic apprentices that had been brought to Five-Union City from Shure Eon. After excluding those who had been accepted by the official sorcerers, the rest of the people had to be found in the city.
However, the foundation had been established for more than two years. From the widespread spread of magic knowledge, it was not until more than a year ago that people began to be recruited to Five-Union City. However, among these people, some of them were still in Wulian City, while others had already left. There was no record of who left and who stayed, so they could only search blindly. There were also some people who were punished for their crimes. Lin Feng felt sorry for them as he looked at the bloody names.
As for the remaining people, some of them had already given up hope and had fallen to the bottom of this bustling city. Some people were still struggling bitterly. When they saw Lin appear and explained their intentions, they could only face him with tears streaming down their faces, unable to say a single word. It was truly heartbreaking.
In the end, there were 26 people, both men and women. The oldest was already in his twenties, and the youngest was only nine years old. These people weren't ugly melons or bad dates that were despised. After a year at most, or at least a few months of suffering, this group of people's willpower could be considered strong enough. Especially the youngest, Smart Ghost. If he wasn't smart, he would have died in a ditch somewhere long ago and wouldn't have lasted until now.
However, they had a common characteristic, which was that their magic talent wasn't very good, but it was still better than Lin and the other two standing in front of them. If they had been born in a wealthy merchant or a noble somewhere, they might not have fallen to this point if they had given some greedy mages some money or promised long-term funding.
However, they were only average people. Born in a poor family, the average mage was either unwilling to invest effort and money on them, or because there were too many of them and they were powerless.
Now that Lin had gathered them again, it might seem like he was drawing a big pie. At this stage, they could only look at it enviously. However, they were still determined to take a gamble and not disappear in this bustling city of mages like their companions who had already given up.
However, the first thing they gathered for was not to learn magic, but to clean up the environment.
They temporarily took over the rights to use the manor from the president. When no one was paying attention, the door sign had quietly been changed to "Orange Eaton Academy." Because there was only minimal care before, although it wasn't ruined, it still took some effort to fully restore and use it. Therefore, the first thing this group of children did was to tidy up the environment for their future studies.
In addition to this group of children, a group of people was also found to take care of the daily life in the academy. They were mainly recruited from the familiar steward of the Chamber of Commerce, Najib, his wife, and people they knew. They were all elderly women. Perhaps they couldn't fight on the battlefield or do some manual labor, but they all had rich experience in taking care of people. It was easy for them to take care of a group of young children.
Moreover, this group of children wasn't here to be masters, so the trivial things in life, including cleaning, washing vegetables, and cooking, were all shared by them. However, they still needed to be managed by the elders. Lin had also had a childhood. How could he not know how many children could live a normal life without their parents by their side? This didn't mean that the children couldn't take care of themselves, they just played like crazy …
Considering the issue of hygiene, several bathrooms, men's toilets, and women's toilets were set up. The president had already agreed that they could modify it at will. As long as the whole house wasn't blown up, he wouldn't ask too much. Therefore, Lin quickly ordered the materials and carried out the modifications. Fortunately, the two girls were already familiar with this area of renovation, so they shared a lot of the work, which made the progress of things a lot faster.
However, every time the two girls came to the academy to help, they would definitely wear a mage's shawl and carefully tie two silver tassels. It couldn't be helped. The group of young children might know how to act subservient in front of the mages, but Halloumi and Kaya were only thirteen or fourteen years old. They couldn't control them, especially when most of them were older than the two girls. And the nine-year-old girl was even more disobedient.
If it weren't for the fact that they showed their magic power in the process of building the bathrooms, the two girls who were only in middle school would have been bullied by the children who were taller than them. This group of children couldn't be blamed. They were born at the bottom, and after coming to Wulian City, they encountered injustice. Naturally, they would be jealous of the children of the same age or of the same age who were dressed in bright clothes.
And the two girls weren't the type to resign themselves to adversity. Especially after knowing that this group of people's magic talent was higher than theirs, they paid more attention to their appearance as apprentices. They might not have any offensive or sarcastic words, but they would always inadvertently emphasize the fact that they were already second circle apprentices.
Someone's thoughts about this were: Tsk, a group of brats! As for interfering, Lin Yi didn't want to interfere. As long as it didn't escalate to the extent of verbal disputes and physical conflicts, it was good to have a sense of competition.
Secondly, because it took a lot of time to find the people, and the expected lecture day of the second week was in two days, Lin Yi had to prepare as soon as possible. The courtyard of the academy was quite ideal. There weren't too many tall trees blocking the open space, so after some tidying up, a high platform for the lecture was set up, and the preparations came to an end for the time being.
The next step was to announce the news and remind them to bring the homework environment of language P. If they wanted to try it on the spot. That was the program that came with the book, and it would come with the purchase of the reference book. Similarly, if they wanted to copy it, they had to provide the Magic Stones themselves. The meager cost didn't include the expensive Magic Stones.
Because they had to use the Whiteboard Brush to explain the writing on the blackboard and display some screen images outdoors, they couldn't do it in an environment with too much light, so they could only choose to do it at night.
Considering the distance between the academy and Wulian City, and the time was at night. Whether it was rushing over after a full meal or going back to eat after listening to the lecture on an empty stomach, it was quite an awkward time. Therefore, Lin Yi contacted a few food and drink vendors and asked them to come to the academy to set up their stalls.
These vendors were some of the friends that Lin Yi made when he was an apprentice in Wulian City. Originally, they only did business in the morning market, and the rest of the time at night was to rest or prepare for work.
There was no concept of a night market in the mysterious land, and the places that would be lively at night were all places that did business. Most people's so-called dinner was actually eaten at dusk. It was because Lin Yi, who couldn't stand the hunger, had an extra meal at noon, that dinner was delayed until after nightfall.
The second lecture that everyone was looking forward to was held in a new place, under the moonlight, in a chaotic situation …
Yes, this scene could only be described as chaotic.
Everywhere one looked was filled with heads, and there wasn't a single piece of grass that was spared. Even the bottom of the food vendors' pots had been emptied, and the mages who couldn't eat were preparing to smash their stalls. A certain someone was holding a temporary iron scroll and broadcasting forcefully. If he didn't say a sentence three times, no one would understand.
In addition, in order to make the content on the screen clear for everyone to see, the Water Mirror Technique was set up on three sides, and it was overloaded. It was directly magnified to the limit, and the image was slightly distorted. However, the colors of the Water Mirror Technique's screen reflected the moonlight, and it was colorful and very beautiful …
Was it appropriate to use such a description? A certain someone didn't know either. He only knew that in his original imagination, he should be like the great god Jabbers, bathing in the soft moonlight, preaching on the stage in a relaxed manner, and encouraging a group of people who didn't know what was good for them to join the ranks of the programmers.
That graceful demeanor was no longer seen in reality. If this scene was on Earth, it would definitely be seen at a rock star's concert. The person on the stage roared with all his might, like the lead singer of heavy metal music. He roared until his voice was hoarse, until his forehead was covered in sweat, and he roared with all his might, from the depths of his soul.
Was it over just like that?
Of course not!
The chatter below the stage didn't stop, and even those who had doubts and wanted to find trouble all blurted it out. They questioned loudly and didn't hold back.
This was the first "Hello _ World" lesson for all programmers. Most people hadn't even finished typing it, and the hour was almost over. Therefore, just as Lin Yi was worried about halfway through the lecture, today's lecture wouldn't end so easily.
By the time the last guest was sent out of the academy, it was already late at night. Not to mention a certain someone who was unbearably tired, the group of children who were caught on duty were also shocked by this big scene. Now, there was still a mess waiting to be cleaned up, and everyone was miserable.
