Emperor of Arcane

As soon as Matthew left the laboratory, the silver figure jumped into his arms with a "Ah" sound.

Yaya found a comfortable position and lay down, his slender tail swaying, and his cute big eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Dad, what is that for? There seem to be many shiny things..."

Yes, most dragons are interested in shiny things...

"That's a laboratory. It can only be used for refining pharmaceuticals at the moment. It's still relatively small. It will be expanded in the future to add more functions."

Matthew explained to Yaya truthfully, worried that the little guy would sneak in and cause damage.

A set of 500 gold coins would take him more than 10 days of hard work to earn back, but he couldn't "give it off" too easily.

The little guy rolled his eyes slightly, opened his mouth slightly, and made a sound of "Yeah". He seemed to remember something, and he lowered his voice slowly and said with a unique oriental charm:

"Tooth...tooth..."

Matthew's eyes widened in astonishment, he touched her head happily, and said with admiration:

"That's right, Yaya, you can say your name now, you are so smart."

Yaya was delighted to receive the compliment. After shaking his little head, he said in some unfamiliar words:

"Rebecca...teach...me..."

A certain playful face flashed through his mind. Matthew smiled knowingly, stroked Yaya's head, recalled the baby dragon training manual, and said with a little temptation:

"So, do you want Rebecca to play with you more often?"

His big eyes suddenly lit up, Yaya nodded repeatedly, and Matthew showed a knowing smile:

"Then I will arrange a task for Rebecca so that she can better accompany you. This is also of great benefit to her as a Druid."

The innocent Yaya nodded without hesitation, dragging Rebecca into the water.

Sure enough, Matthew wrote down a letter of employment, handed it to Yaya and said tentatively:

"However, you two have a common mission, and you must arrange for you to eat various foods that can promote your growth and development every day."

Yaya didn't even pay attention to the following words. He happily held the parchment in his mouth, flapped his wings and fluttered up and down the room, looking quite happy.

Tonight is destined to be extraordinary.

In the next few days, everyone in Bay Village was very busy.

I got up early to eat and started working under the command of the village chief Field.

We were busy until noon, and everyone enjoyed a hearty lunch.

After another busy afternoon, I went home with the copper coins I got.

Although the salary is not much, everyone's condition is getting better and better because they can have a delicious meal at noon and contribute to the whole village.

Of course, while everyone was busy, they did not forget to turn their attention to the bustling military camp.

Watching the soldiers doing "simple" drills every day and then enjoying a life of plenty of fish and meat, naturally they started to get excited.

Everyone wants to eat meat!

In the past two days, the old village chief Field had been quite tight-lipped. Finally, he got impatient after being criticized by everyone, so he used Zui Yan to reveal some rumors.

Early the next morning.

The entire Bay Village became lively, and everyone was discussing the methods and benefits of becoming a professional soldier.

As the "initiator", the old village chief Field didn't bother to think about it anymore and told everyone to get to work quickly.

Many women preparing food have already revealed the news that they will still have enough to eat at noon today, and everyone will get a share of fish.

This made everyone very motivated, because they strangely discovered that neither the lord nor Butler Ralph appeared, leaving them to their own devices.

But none of the villagers wanted to be lazy. Those who had such thoughts began to work hard under the whip of the old village chief Field.

The soldiers are also training hard, and everyone can hear their shouts from a distance.

Many people already know that after building the wall, they will immediately build the military camp.

Many people simply made a calculation and quickly concluded that the faster they can maintain quality and quantity, the more they can earn.

A slight cool breeze blew slowly, and Matthew put down the alchemy notes in his hand, gaining a deeper understanding of the growth environment and specific functions of various magics.

When players refine potions, create magic props or scrolls, most of them improve their alchemy level and complete fool-like operations with the help of programs.

Know how it is, but don’t know why it is so.

Now, the only person responsible for scientific research is Matthew.

He must delve deeper and be at the forefront as much as possible in order to drive the territory forward.

Therefore, the first thing he has to do is to select children who have the potential to become spellcasters.

That's right, even though the Netheril Empire is very dedicated to searching for and cultivating law enforcer seedlings.

However, the amount of work required for the annual inspection is indeed very large, and naturally there are many fish that slip through the net.

Of course, those children with outstanding talents who can be seen at a glance are naturally taken away early.

Many children with average potential need to invest more resources and efforts to break through high-level restrictions, and it depends on luck.

And another point is that even testing qualifications also costs money.

For the vast majority of descendants of nobles and spellcasters, a comprehensive examination of relevant aspects will be carried out as soon as they are born.

The vast majority of civilian children will be tested three times at the age of 10, 12, and 15 years old.

So now, what Matthew values ​​the most is these children under the age of 10.

"Learn early!"

Butler Ralph had a serious expression on his face, and most of the children were frightened by his expression.

Of course, the more reason is that every child knows more or less from his parents that he must not mess with Butler Ralph and the Lord.

I believe that when I say this, there should be some parents who provide quite profound love education to those careless children.

After all, in the Netheril Empire, the lords generally have good tempers.

Most lords have spellcaster status and families, and have received relatively sufficient and necessary learning and education.

However, this does not mean that their authority is weak.

The destructive power of the earth's spells was truly demonstrated, and the huge floating city occasionally floating in the sky was telling them to be obedient!

"Everyone lines up according to age, and those under 6 years old stand on the left side."

"Although you may not understand it now, I still want to make it clear to everyone."

"Wait a moment, and you must be obedient, because later, it is very likely to change the fate of yourself and your family!"

Butler Ralph arranged the lines and looked at these children with emotion. Looking at these ignorant eyes, he noticed that there was still a little fear in their eyes, and he smiled in his heart.

Matthew took out a detection crystal, slowly poured mana into it, and handed it to the first batch of 15-year-old children.

A little girl with freckles was at the front of the queue. Her gray-brown eyes looked timid. She walked over slowly, too nervous to look at Matthew.

Meryl

Race: human.

Age: 15.

Occupation: Not employed.

Talent: Inactive.

Attributes:

Strength: 5

Agility: 6

Constitution: 5

Perception: 8

Intelligence: 11

Charisma: 10.

According to the evaluation, there is a 50% chance of becoming a junior mage, a 5% chance of becoming an intermediate mage, and a 1% chance of becoming a high-level mage!

Matthew had seen through Meryl and saw the rather cruel comments that followed. Naturally, he was not too disappointed, but rather thankful.

"Fortunately my ex is kind..."

Meryl, who was a little nervous, put her hand on the pure detection crystal, and saw that the center lit up slightly, outlining dotted lines, but it did not expand any further.

She was extremely disappointed. In the first three tests, she couldn't make the entire crystal light up, and it was the same this time.

"Very good, Meryl passed. You have a high probability of becoming a spell caster, but the prerequisite is that you have to work hard. You go and stand aside first!"

Matthew's gentle voice gave Melly, who felt deeply hopeless in life, a new hope and nodded excitedly.
