The conferring ceremony of the Duke of Tulip Island, Lee William Tulip, was not too grand, especially with the extravagant scene of the founding of the nation.
But to the Tulip family, this was the most glorious moment.
In the name of Lee William, a three-day banquet was held in the Fire Kingdom, inviting a large number of nobles who stayed in the Fire Kingdom. After that, Levis and the rest returned to Tulip Island. Lee William continued to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stationed in the Fire Kingdom.
Levis's son, Richard, who was also Liszt's nephew, stayed in the Palace of Sun, Moon and Stars.
Liszt liked this nephew very much, so he would not refuse to nurture him. But he was busy and could not discipline him himself. There would be servants to take care of him, and there would be teachers from the Royal Knight Academy to teach him.
"Chris, has the reform agenda of the Guild of Magic been decided?" Liszt came to the Mage Tower in Fireforge City again and asked the First Minister of Arcana, Chris Truth.
"Your Majesty, after a few years of discussion, the registered mages of the Guild of Magic have completely adapted to the arcanist system, so there is not much resistance to the reform. The plan to restructure the Guild of Magic into the Royal Arcana Academy has been approved by the Arcanist Assessment Committee. "
The Guild of Magic had been a product of excess from the beginning. Now that the Fire Kingdom had been established, it was time to change it according to Liszt's will.
Referring to the American university system on Earth, Liszt's ideal scientific system was the integration of production, learning, and research.
The Royal Knight Academy had been established to nurture elite Knight, and it was similar to the National Defense University and West Point Military Academy. Now, the Royal Arcana Academy was to be established to nurture all kinds of arcanists and undertake magical research tasks. This way, an education system for both Knight and arcanists could be formed.
At the same time, education resources from all over the country would be integrated, and ordinary schools would be set up. Knight and arcanist courses would be set up to provide a continuous supply of talents for the kingdom.
This was undoubtedly a little ahead of the time, and it was hard to say what impact it would have.
However, Liszt did not care. His strength had broken through the horizon, and he already had the capital to do as he pleased — there was no other reason for him to do as he pleased. A dragon was just that willful.
"Now that you've passed the assessment, let's finish the reorganization as soon as possible. Well, since A Qi and Laird don't want to manage the mundane affairs, you're the First Arcana Minister and the first dean of the Royal Arcana Academy.
Kris smiled and nodded. "As you wish, Your Majesty."
After a pause, Kris asked again, "Then, Your Majesty, will the finances of the Royal Arcane Academy be provided by the kingdom, or by your internal court?"
Bearing the burden of the kingdom meant that the local lords would have to pay taxes to bear the burden.
The internal court had provided it, meaning that it was the Flame family's personal burden.
Both sets of finances were Liszt's money. It was just that the money was used for different purposes. One was the treasury, the money collected from taxes and used for the construction of the kingdom; the other was a private stash of money, the money earned from their fiefs could be spent as they pleased.
"The kingdom will bear the responsibility." Liszt said expressionlessly. "I'll gradually integrate the arcanists into the noble system. In the future, the Royal Arcane Academy will no longer be supported by me … The talents of the Arcane Academy will be shared by all the fiefs and nobles. Of course, the research results can also be shared."
Scientific research was a bottomless pit, and so was magical research. He didn't want to pay for it alone.
He could use the name of the Royal Arcane Academy to collect some taxes from the feudal nobles. Then, he could throw in some careless research results to stop the nobles from complaining.
"I understand. So, will the Royal Arcane Academy be located in the magic district of the Fire Kingdom?"
"Yes."
…
The Magic Guild was being reorganized into the Royal Arcane Academy.
Mages who were obsessed with magical research had to take time out to go through all kinds of procedures to become teachers of the Royal Arcane Academy or to attach their own laboratories to the Arcane Academy. Applications for funds, staffing, and all kinds of messy things came one after another.
Mages didn't have a good time, and so did the Knight. As the fiefs and nobles took away a large number of Knight and officials, the cities and towns had to send new Knight to take over.
In such a situation of national change, all kinds of unexpected situations were constantly happening.
However, it did not affect the spring plowing work in the first year of the Fire Calendar. The serfs were short of hands and a large number of wasteland could not be cultivated. But at least there would be a large number of serfs rushing to plant the farmland cultivated by the elves. Liszt's own farmland could also be allocated enough "fertilizer" to be spread.
"There is another important reason why the spring plowing work is not affected, is that there is a serious shortage of elves. In particular, the fiefs and nobles took away their elves, and a large number of plantations were abandoned … It can't be said to be abandoned, but the harvest depends on the glory of the Knight. "
Said Leewilliam, Duke of Tulip Island, when reporting this year's spring plowing work.
Liszt nodded. "The speed of elves breeding can't keep up, so the development order has to continue to be issued. We can't let go of the Eagle Kingdom. By the way, father, has the envoy of the Steel Ridge Kingdom confirmed that King Osborne has clearly refused to join hands with me and divide the Eagle Kingdom? "
"Yes, the Sapphire Duchy's change of allegiance to the Fire Kingdom has caused a greater impact than expected. King Osborne attaches great importance to the face of the aristocracy."
"Perhaps he is just taking advantage of the situation. Seeing that I am powerful, he is unwilling to join me in plotting the Eagle Kingdom, fearing that I will continue to grow stronger." Liszt shook his head. "Forget it, if he refuses, then so be it. Recently, I have a vague feeling that there is a new dragon waiting for me to ride in this sea."
"Another one?" Leewilliam stared.
"It's just a feeling, it's hard to say whether it's true or not. However, my strength has been steadily improving, so it's not surprising that there are one or two more dragons." He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Since the disappearance of the smoke mission and the birth of the smoke dragon, he could take the initiative to stir the threads of fate.
A while ago, the phoenix perching parasol tree dragon elf Aini had told him that the two phoenix perching parasol trees that had been the focus of attention had successfully bred two sprite worms.
This was a powerful proof.
It proved that he could take the initiative to attack and clearly arrange things around him. Recently, he felt that there was a new dragon in the sea of the Flame Archipelago. As long as he could stir the threads of fate with his will again, he would be able to grasp the new dragon in his hands.
"I am a child of glory, the glory of a Knight is constantly guiding me. Father, I will leave the kingdom to you and the outer court. I will be away for a while to look for my new dragon."
What else could Leewilliam say? Dragons were the greatest in the world: "You can rest assured and look for the dragon. I will look after the kingdom for you."
Thereupon, Liszt quietly left the Palace of Sun, Moon, and Stars.
He was not in a hurry to look for a new dragon. Instead, he went to the Dragon Pit Mine and met the gray-mouthed iron dragon Aoun, who had made the Dragon Pit Mine his dragon nest.
"Aoun, during this period of time, let's practice hard together and form a spirit imprint as soon as possible."
"Roar!" Aoun responded.
After the light emerald dragon Ethan and the fire dragon Leo, the invisible Bard had recently reached perfection. His mind now had a clear and inextinguishable figure of Liszt. As for the other dragons, the bone dragon Winnie could not form a spirit imprint. The little water dragon Walter and the aluminum dragon Connor still had no shadows. The mountain copper dragon Marta only had a shadow.
Only in Aoun's mind, Liszt's shadow was already indistinct. It was not far from perfection.
After touching Aoun's scales, he could not help but ponder: "How to stir the threads of fate is very particular. For example, stirring a sprite worm is a piece of cake. But to involve a dragon, I must follow the trajectory of the threads and borrow its strength. "
This was the formation mechanism of the smoke mission.
In the smoke mission, the reward could only be obtained after completing the mission. This process was the most effortless way to stir the threads of fate. Now that Liszt had transformed into a smoke dragon, he was merely turning the passive smoke mission into an active attack.
Using his own will as the guide, he would proactively stir the threads of fate and obtain the content he wanted: "When Aoun and I reach perfection, we will probably be able to take advantage of the situation to involve this new dragon. However, I can feel that there are many threads of fate in the surroundings, waiting for me to stir them one by one. "
Behind every thread of fate was a bountiful harvest.
"But I am only one person and cannot split myself … What a blissful worry!"
