Mental Elementalists, not to mention anything else, the five main elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were the best talents for Life.
Those geniuses who reached 10 Intelligence at the age of five would naturally go to the frontlines, that was their stage. However, the rest of them might be able to shine.
There was no absolute trash in the world, only resources that were used in the wrong place. Elementalists were one in a million, how could they be trash?
Moreover, these people took so much of his money, how could they not make use of it?
Xu Sili thought about his next plan, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it was.
Moreover, Dean Justin was going to rebuild Mercenary Town soon, maybe he could get these students to participate.
Mercenary Town would be the first experimental base!
He could build an engineering team made up entirely of Elementalists. Building houses was not a priority, the most important thing was for them to build roads!
If they wanted to get rich, they had to build roads first.
He had personally seen the road from the inner city to Mercenary Town, it was completely impossible.
Not to mention the bumpy road, in order to avoid some natural hazards, they had to take a long detour. Time was life, it was enough for daily life, but when it came to war, it would be fatal.
Looking down from the sky, other than the main road, he did not see many roads.
Mercenary Town happened to be on that road, it was a place for mercenaries to rest, that was why it gradually became prosperous.
However, there was more than one town in such a big outer city.
There were many towns and villages in other remote areas, all of them added together, these people and resources were a huge amount of wealth.
Relying only on the Star Alliance's funding would not go far. If the Roland Empire wanted to become strong, it had to cultivate its own talents and do its best to develop the planet's resources.
However, Xu Sili did not have such big ambitions at the moment.
His foundation was too weak, he was weak, and there were dangers everywhere. For example, ten million Universe Credits, he did not have any idea yet!
If he did not pay the alliance fee in one month, no, in 29 days, he might be invaded by the Lizardmen! At that time, it was not certain if the Roland Empire would be his.
He still had to prioritize, the most important thing was to find a way to earn Universe Credits.
This was the tragedy of a weak country, no matter how much currency you had, if others did not recognize it, it was worthless.
Sigh, if only Second Brother was here. He was so good at earning money. Wouldn't ten million be a piece of cake for him?
Xu Sili could not help but sigh.
The dean's office was already very quiet at this moment. Although his sigh was very soft, it was still heard by everyone.
The ones who were the most uneasy were naturally Dean Justin and Vice-Dean Chrissy.
There was a major mistake in their teaching!
Not only did the students get the wrong Element, but even the current Emperor had an extremely rare talent for the Sound Element, but Dean Justin hadn't been able to detect it back then!
This is a crime of neglect of duty.
Furthermore, because of this, a prince was crippled, causing him to waste 13 years of his life!
And now, this prince had become the new emperor, and his temper was not very good …
When he thought of this, Dean Justin's eyes turned black.
When he heard the little Emperor's sigh, his face turned even more ashen because he knew that his sins were unforgivable.
Originally, he had the talent to be an Elementalist, but he was held back by someone many years ago. If it were him, would he not be resentful?
Apart from being powerful, Elementalists also had a longer lifespan than ordinary people!
Perhaps, he had reached the end of the road in this life … Losing his integrity in his old age was exactly what he meant …
Dean Justin's face was full of bitterness. He turned his head to look at Vice-Dean Chrissy and sighed heavily. Then, he slowly stood up and walked to the desk.
Under everyone's gaze, he calmly knelt down.
Su Lin, who was still uneasy because of His Majesty's sigh, hurriedly stepped aside at this moment.
Although the academy had misjudged his talent, they had not mistreated him all these years. He was still very respectful to the two deans.
"Your Majesty, when I tested your Talent that day, there was a huge mistake. This old man cannot escape the blame!"
Dean Justin said sternly, "This old man is willing to resign from his duties as a dean and join the frontlines to fight with the soldiers until my death."
"This is to make up for the mistakes of that day. I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
After saying this, Dean Justin calmed down.
He had stayed in the rear for too long. In fact, a powerhouse like him should have been at the frontlines.
The current outcome was also good.
Vice-Dean Chrissy's expression changed again and again. She looked at the white-haired old dean. This person …
He was also her teacher back in the day!
She had a miserable expression on her face. In the end, she gritted her teeth and knelt down with Dean Justin.
"Your Majesty, Dean Justin has nurtured countless elementalists for the academy and the empire over the years. He has made great contributions."
"An experienced professor like him should stay in the academy to teach and educate people!"
"In terms of teaching, I am far behind the dean. I almost made a huge mistake with Su Lin's matter. I am willing to accept the punishment on behalf of the dean and fight with the interstellar beasts at the frontlines. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish!"
The two deans knelt down and begged for forgiveness. Vice-Dean Chrissy even mentioned Su Lin, scaring him so much that he waved his hands.
Li Zheyu's expression also changed. He wanted to plead for mercy for them, but he also knew that Dean Justin could not absolve himself from the blame. But to send them to the frontlines …
He could not bear to do so.
The only one whose expression did not change was probably Si Sheng.
When the two deans begged for forgiveness, he glanced at them indifferently. Then, his gaze fell on the little emperor's face.
Then, as expected, he saw the dumbfounded look in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth curved up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
Xu Sili was really confused.
What was going on?
Why did they suddenly kneel down and beg for forgiveness?
Two of them even kneeled down!
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to Chrissy's nonsense! I am already old and she is still young. She should stay in the academy and continue to nurture talents for the empire … "
"No, Your Majesty, I am not spouting nonsense. I really can't compare to the dean. I am not young anymore …"
"Enough."
The youth's calm voice instantly silenced the two deans who were arguing.
The silver-haired youth sitting at the head of the table closed his eyes. He rubbed his temples as if he had a headache and said softly,
"The two of you are already so old and are people of status. Don't you find it embarrassing to quarrel like this?"
No one dared to speak again.
"Dean Justin, have you forgotten something? The rebuilding of the mercenary town has not started yet, and you want to go to the front line? "
The youth's face instantly turned cold.
"Who gave you the guts to treat this Emperor's words as a passing wind? You keep provoking me. Are you thinking of rebelling?! "
"Clang —"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a sword being unsheathed sounded. It was an imposing combination.
Xu Sili's heart skipped a beat.
He looked strangely at Si Sheng beside him. If he did not know that he would be attacked by Si Sheng, he would have thought that this guy wanted to kill him!
Si Sheng did not look at him. He only stared at Dean Justin expressionlessly. It was as if he was really examining whether Si Sheng was going to rebel. The old dean trembled under his stare.
This Marshal and Duke was a murderous person. He was loyal to the Emperor and supported the House of Roland.
If not, he would not be known as the Guardian of the Roland Empire. He would not have gained the trust of the previous Emperor, who conferred him the title of Duke on his deathbed and ordered him to assist the new Emperor.
To be honest, with Si Sheng's strength, even if he wanted to be the Emperor, no one could stop him. He had outstanding military achievements and was supported by the people in the Empire.
However, he was willing to submit to others and be the lackey of the House of Roland. No one knew why, but no one dared to underestimate him.
"Your Majesty, I definitely do not have the slightest intention of rebelling. Your Majesty, please understand!"
Dean Justin admitted defeat. "I will remember the rebuilding of the mercenary town in my heart. It is my duty to do so."
"When the rebuilding is completed in half a month, I will resign. I will not delay Your Majesty's plan."
Xu Sili shrugged. "Let's talk about this when the time comes."
He did not want to waste any more time, so he looked at Su Lin and said, "Other than the rebuilding of the town, you have another important thing to do. That is to investigate how many students like Su Lin are in the Academy."
"To be honest, this matter makes me very angry."
Xu Sili said with a straight face, "Elementalists are all pillars of the Empire. Who would have thought that there would be such a big mistake in the first step of the Talent Test?"
"I do not intend to hold anyone responsible, nor do I intend to punish anyone. I only want a solution!"
"It is obvious that there is a big problem with the current Talent Test."
"The students who have been delayed have already been settled, but what about the new students and the children who have not been tested? Are you going to continue to delay them? "
"As deans of the Academy, the two of you are also at the level of professors. Could it be that you have never noticed the problems with the current education system and where it can be reformed?"
"Take the Talent Test for example. The method used more than a decade ago, or even decades ago, is still being used now?"
The young emperor's words made the two deans blush.
They wanted to defend themselves and say that they had contributed to the cause of education all these years. However, they could not refute His Majesty's point.
And as the victim, His Majesty was absolutely qualified to say these words.
Xu Sili did not stop there.
He did not have the energy to do these things, but it did not mean that he could not let others do it. After all, it was just a matter of moving his mouth.
In fact, he could also choose to bide his time, strengthen himself first, and then wait for the game's open beta. He had seen the grand future of this game on the forum.
At that time, he would have an army of players who would not die, would not be destroyed, and would not be tired.
However, Xu Sili did not want to be so passive.
The players all admired strength. If he could not give them benefits, not only would they ignore him, but they would also likely turn against him and even rebel.
For the players, as long as he dared to show his HP bar, they would dare to kill him.
Therefore, he had to establish an advantage in the early stage and strive to intimidate the players as soon as they entered the game.
And all this could not be done by relying on his strength alone.
The young man looked at the two deans and continued.
"Use your wisdom as a Spirit Elementalist and think about it carefully.
"Let's not talk about me, let's not talk about the students who have gone in the wrong direction. Let's talk about the ordinary people who have been identified as having no talent. How many Elementalist seeds are buried like me?"
Vice Dean Chrissy was stunned, and after Dean Justin calmed down, he could not help but show a thoughtful expression.
His gaze fell on the crystal ball on the table.
Perhaps it was time for this old test method to be reformed!
However, he never expected that the young emperor would say such words next.
"To tell you the truth, I have been practicing meditation for all these years."
The two deans could not help but look up at him. Li Zheyu's eyes flashed with surprise.
Not just anyone could learn the Meditation Technique, let alone learn it!
"Because I was not willing to be identified as having no talent. As a descendant of the House of Roland, this was a disgrace."
Xu Sili faintly described Snow Roland's mental journey. In fact, it was because of this that he was disliked by the old emperor.
He was obviously a prince, but he lived such a poor life.
Of course, Xu Sili did not mention too much about the past.
He continued, "And the facts proved that my persistence was correct. After thirteen years, I reached the standard of making the crystal ball glow.
"Then, from my example, can we deduce that … actually, everyone has elemental affinity, and everyone can become an Elementalist?"
The two deans widened their eyes. The three words "impossible" were about to blurt out, but they were quickly stopped.
Was it really … impossible?
Xu Sili did not pay attention to them. Instead, he played with the quill in his hand and slowly analyzed.
"The children who were selected to enter the academy all had innate advantages. Before the age of five, they could subconsciously absorb elemental energy.
"These children, even if they did not meet the requirements set by the crystal ball to become a Spirit Elementalist, would still enter the Warrior Department to learn and cultivate.
"However, for the remaining children, are they really unable to change their physiques through hard work?
"Haven't you ever wondered why some people have talent while others don't?"
Not only the two deans, but even Su Lin and Li Zheyu were dumbfounded.
This … was this not a very normal thing?
Xu Sili looked at them, somewhat speechless.
"Then I will be more straightforward. Why is there no pattern to the birth of an Elementalist?
"Logically speaking, many Elementalists are a combination of strong and powerful people, but among their descendants, not all of them can become Elementalists.
"And for ordinary families, even if there is no Elementalist in their ancestors, there will sometimes be a Golden Phoenix.
"Just like Su Lin."
Su Lin, who was called out, immediately blushed.
His Majesty actually said … said that he was a Golden Phoenix! He, who had always been called a good-for-nothing, heard someone describe him like this for the first time … and the most honorable person in the entire Empire!
The young man looked at Xu Sili with increasingly fanatical eyes.
Xu Sili was just casually mentioning it. After that, he continued his train of thought.
"I know that some people only talk about talent based on bloodline. Actually, I feel that it might be related to bloodline, but my theory is —"
"As long as one has the bloodline of the Roland Empire, or the bloodline of the Escher Star, they will have the talent of an Elementalist!
"However, there is a difference in talent between the strong and the weak.
"Innate Rankers have an advantage, but those who work hard may not necessarily be able to catch up.
"And the current training system for Elementalists has infinitely widened this gap.
"Innate Rankers are all arranged to enter academies to cultivate, this is understandable, but those who need to work hard have completely lost the opportunity to come in contact with cultivation methods.
"This is a kind of academic monopoly, and also one of the reasons why the Roland Empire can't rise again."
In fact, Xu Sili was just casually saying it, but now he even convinced himself.
It really made sense!
He even found evidence in Snow Roland's memory.
"Those who have studied history know that the Escher Star was powerful and prosperous before the catastrophe a hundred years ago. At that time, there were many Elementalists. As the strongest country in Roland, almost one-third of the people were Elementalists.
"The population at that time was much more than it is now!
"And now, there is only one Elementalist in ten thousand people. Is it really because of the catastrophe that changed everyone's physique?"
A hundred years ago was actually not that far away.
Although countless countries were destroyed, and many precious materials were not left behind, only the Roland Empire kept a small part of it.
At that time, there were many things waiting to be done, and resources were limited. Naturally, they could only give priority to the most talented and let this group of people become stronger first.
But now, it was different.
Although the days were still tough, and the battles at the frontlines were still ongoing, it was not to the extent of having to live frugally and tighten their belts.
Xu Sili felt that some ordinary children could undergo simple entry training, and even the adults could try it.
If there were a few more Elementalists, even if they were not good at fighting, they could still do some life skills.
Sharpening the axe would not delay the work of cutting firewood. If a country wanted to be strong, it was necessary to build a basic foundation.
Just like the frontline soldiers, they also needed food, weapons and equipment. If these basic things were improved, at least the survival rate would be greatly increased.
Of course, he could only provide some ideas for now. As for how far it could go, it would depend on the Elementalist College.
"You can think about these things yourselves.
If you really want to make up for your mistakes, what I just said is the direction you should work hard on, and not just think about escaping to the frontlines. "
Xu Sili's mouth was dry.
He stopped and licked his lips involuntarily.
Then, a cup of steaming hot tea was gently placed in front of him by a good-looking hand.
Xu Sili blinked and looked up from the hand to meet the man's grayish-blue eyes.
They were still cold and indifferent, without any warmth.
Under his gaze, the man calmly retracted his hand and continued to stand there quietly, as if the cup of tea was not poured by him.
Xu Sili was speechless.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
Was there something wrong with the tea?
He carefully cast an Insight Spell on it and found that it was just a normal cup of red tea. It wasn't drugged like he had thought.
But …
Something was wrong!
There was something wrong with Si Sheng!
He saved him in Mercenary Town, and after entering the Elementalist College, he cooperated with him.
But why?
Xu Sili really did not understand.
The two of them were supposed to be enemies. If it were him, it would be difficult to clean up after being stepped on and turned into a puppet without killing the other party.
Forget it … Let's drink tea first.
Xu Sili was really thirsty, but he could not figure it out. Since there was nothing wrong with the tea, why did he make things difficult for himself?
The young man picked up the teacup and gently took a sip.
Li Zheyu, who had been watching from the side, could not help but secretly look at them with a strange expression.
Even if you want to feed a dog, you have to look at the situation!
How dare they show off their love so openly …
However, other than him, no one else knew about the relationship between His Majesty and the Marshal. He was the only one who ate dog food.
Sigh, what a headache.
Xu Sili did not know what Li Zheyu was thinking. If he knew, he would probably beat him up.
At this time, he drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat and felt very comfortable.
The two deans who were still kneeling on the ground were completely stunned. This time, it was not because of power or influence, but because they were truly convinced by His Majesty's theory.
If everyone could become an Elementalist, then everyone would be a real soldier. When that time came, would they still need to be afraid of interstellar beasts?
Once this theory was proven, it would definitely affect the course of history!
However, Dean Justin soon frowned.
He looked up at Xu Sili and hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, there is something that I do not understand. Can you enlighten me?"
Xu Sili leisurely drank his tea and lazily nodded. "Go ahead."
Dean Justin then asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, just now … how did you determine that Su Lin has a talent for mental power at a glance?"
