Seeing the young lord smile, Felix thought things had taken a turn for the better and breathed a sigh of relief.
The scholars behind him gradually relaxed, exchanging glances and seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
Richard looked at the light in their eyes and a slow smile crept onto his lips.
"Professor Felix."
"I know perfectly well whether my skills are flawed or need optimization, and this is my own business. What does it have to do with the Mystic Academy?"
Felix's smile froze, the scholars' private discussions came to an abrupt halt, and the hall fell into dead silence!
Richard leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping over the astonished faces of the crowd, feeling utterly speechless.
This technology is meant to make money. So what if it's not perfect? Why should I care about their after-sales service?
Think more!
and.
The fourth sister's request for them to come to Chiffon to provide academic support is completely different from their desire to optimize and improve farming techniques!
If the Mystery Academy wants to curry favor with Fourth Sister while simultaneously trying to make a fortune through technology optimization.
That's something we need to talk about properly...
Yes.
Improving his farming techniques and gaining his approval could bring immense wealth to any academy!
This technology will undoubtedly bring about tremendous changes to human society, and at the same time, it will cause a major upheaval in the academic world!
Once the Academy of Mysteries has participated in the initial optimization and improvement, their names can be added to the technology's name.
They will also gain immense fame!
Richard had only just realized that his older brother was making him famous, probably to create an aura of great wisdom for him.
The social status that this title brings is far greater than that of a pioneering lord.
Once the academy has a good reputation, making money becomes easy; whether it's recruiting excellent apprentices or requesting funding from wealthy lords, it's all very simple.
As long as Richard makes the announcement.
He could then summon all the universities that knew about this technology to work for Qi Feng, providing him with free academic support, the kind of support that would make them fight tooth and nail for it.
In this situation, why would Chiffon insist on cooperating with the Mystic Academy?
As a lord, Richard, setting aside personal feelings, would tend to choose the option that maximizes his interests.
...
"Professor Felix."
"When you were teaching us at Wolfsburg, you said that knowledge can illuminate darkness and also bring wealth."
"so..."
"Give me a reason why I should abandon the other academies and allow the Academy of Mysteries to be on par with my technology."
"As for what you just said, the Mystic Academy doesn't charge any compensation for supporting Chiffon, and even requires participants to pay for their own meals and rent. I'm afraid that's not much sincerity, is it?"
Facing Richard's sharp gaze, Felix's heart skipped a beat. He swallowed hard, shook his head, and sighed:
"My lord."
"The Academy of Mysteries was so poor that it even had to conserve its parchment. The old scholars had hardly ever worn a new robe in their entire lives, and the young apprentices studied by eating rye bread."
Even so, the Academy of Mysteries did not relocate to other places for the sake of higher rewards, but rather to leave behind a spark of knowledge for the Northern Territory.
"so..."
"Could you please, my lord, grant us this opportunity out of consideration for our shared heritage as people of the North?"
"I'm not doing this for wealth, but to provide a foothold for scholars in the North, to retain those talented individuals willing to dedicate themselves to this harsh land!"
"Moreover, I genuinely want to optimize and improve your farming techniques, since the North is just too harsh, and countless people die of hunger every year."
"Your technology can save many lives. If we can improve the technology, we can feed even more people!"
"If you feel my sincerity is insufficient, I am willing to give up my position as dean and everything else to become your serf!"
Felix spoke with tears streaming down his face, and his moving words brought a wave of grievance and resentment to the faces of the young scholars behind him.
However, due to the lord's authority, they did not dare to speak without authorization.
...
Richard was speechless.
What does it matter to me whether the people of the North are suffering or not? It's as if I'm the one who caused it.
Bringing farming techniques from Earth to this place is already a blessing to the world, right? What more do you want from me?
If you can't afford new robes, delicious cakes, and fresh meat, then disband!
Human society will not be affected by the presence or absence of your family, so why bother?
For a tiny bit of tuition, Felix, the headmaster of an academy, personally went to Wolf Castle to teach the wolf cubs, without feeling ashamed.
Researching the mysteries of magic requires a considerable amount of money to purchase magic books and materials, which is something that a poor academy simply cannot afford.
The girl wore a faded linen scholar's robe, her scholarly air tinged with a touch of innocent naiveté.
She walked straight up to Richard without bowing or showing any reverence.
She looked up at him with her fair, pretty face tilted up, her gaze almost pleading, and called him by his name.
"Richard..."
...
Richard was suddenly stunned!
His gaze fell on the girl's face, then he subconsciously looked down at her slender neck.
A delicate silver chain tucked into her collar; it was a piece of jewelry personally chosen by her fourth sister, Freya, and given to her best friend.
--Wendy.
After Fourth Sister was wanted, this girl disappeared along with her, so how did she end up back at the Mystic Academy?
Wendy and Freya are the same age and have been inseparable playmates since childhood. Freya often takes Wendy to Wolf Castle to spend the night.
Richard played and frolicked with her a lot when they were young. The three of them would climb trees together to pick wild fruit and go to the theater together to watch performances. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts.
Later, she and her fourth sister joined the Mystic Academy and became Felix's most prized disciples.
If Freya hadn't been wanted by the Vatican, the three of them would probably still be meeting up frequently by now.
She was hiding in the crowd, and Richard didn't even see her!
...
Seeing Richard's expression soften, Wendy took another step forward, her clear eyes filled with earnestness.
"If you feel that the Mystery Academy is not worthy of being on par with your technology, that's fine too. We will still use our own methods to improve and refine your technology."
"You should still remember what Freya's wish was. She hoped that knowledge could bring progress and happiness to society, and that's what she always held onto."
Wendy's words were straightforward and pure, without any calculation or utilitarianism, only her concern for her dear friend and her sincerity towards knowledge.
This was exactly like her older sister Freya's stubborn expression, which completely shut Richard up.
