Iron Harvest: When Farming Becomes Conquest-Chapter 391 - 21: Verify Academic Background

Roman quickly abandoned the idea.

He had previously used methods of thought transmission.

For ordinary people, the effect was immediate because they were like lambs without self-awareness.

But when faced with noble knights with firm will, the effect was not as good.

Roman attributed it to a sense of sovereignty.

I can understand you, but my position, my thoughts, they do not allow me to support you.

No matter how much venison Lord Cao sent to Guan Yunchang, until Guan was on his deathbed, he finally gave Lord Cao a glance, which nearly scared the latter half to death.

Tashina was so determined that she even derived the Second Skill, practically a superwoman, making it very hard to change her subjective thoughts.

Enya was also the son of the Grand Duke of Oak, with the legacy of the Oak territory waiting for him to inherit, how could he possibly bow down?

Roman decided to continue recruiting.

Two thousand slots, and this is just the beginning.

It’s a time-consuming and labor-intensive process because potential talent needs to be selected.

As night fell, Roman had only conducted ten rounds of ten recruitment each.

After a double-gold debut, the biggest surprise that followed was recruiting a White Knight.

...

[Four Stars: Raymond (can be assigned an Angel Envoy code)

Attack: B-, Defense: B-, Speed: B-, Constitution: C+, Energy: B+

Talent: Intuition—Enhancing combat wisdom

First Skill: Brave and Skilled—Extremely rich in combat experience

Second Skill: Radiant Blade—Energy attack, greatly enhancing power]

...

Undoubtedly.

This was definitely the attribute of a High Rank Knight.

However, what could he do as White Knights only pledged loyalty to Iota Hina.

Raymond was also quite aged.

During his dealings with those White Knights, Roman learned that the youngest among them was over a hundred and thirty years old, while the oldest was as much as a hundred and sixty.

They were orphans of the Conqueror era, the last batch of White Knights.

They all had a lineage of the ancient Divine Mysterious, during Iaos’s expedition they had not yet matured and were left deep in the court, similar to the court witch’s experience.

These ancient Divine Mysterious people had a long lifespan, with high enough rank, mastering profound combat skills.

What is Radiant Blade?

That’s a superhuman who can wield blade aura with bare hands!

Splitting mountains and cracking stones is a piece of cake.

The blade techniques of Iota Hina were learned from them, all battlefield killing moves.

The River Valley Army would benefit from more contact with them.

...

At dinner, Tashina still hadn’t returned from the military camp.

Roman learned that the White Steel Princess was planning to live in the military camp, which left him speechless, thinking that this woman was a bit strange, choosing not to sleep in a comfortable and warm estate room and instead staying overnight in the winter of the camp.

Moreover, she was overly combative.

Not counting the White Knights and High Order Black Iron fellows, Tashina’s combat prowess was regarded as number one in the camp. As long as she didn’t cause trouble, she was free to do whatever she wished.

He was overwhelmed with matters.

Today, his worldview was severely refreshed, and he caught a glimpse of the Human Clan empire’s visage.

The ancient Divine Mysterious can be called advanced human beings, with profound wisdom, immune to diseases, capable of living two hundred years without illness, but now the bloodline is deteriorated, with descendants of Divine Mysterious all over the Black Iron Land.

Roman thought about how he raised the attributes of Angel Envoys, seemingly triggering their second development, their physique growing explosively, from a skinny monkey to a robust man in just a few years.

Could it be considered a form of atavism, or a genetic enhancement technique?

Roman pondered to himself.

He thought of the Elf Bloodline and then of the Deep Sea Bloodline...

He turned to the estate manager and said, "Call in everyone that Nillie assigned to me."

The male butler immediately went to carry out the order.

Soon, six Sea Castle maids entered the hall, kneeling respectfully in a row before Roman.

It was night now, and the hall was brightly lit; Roman’s vision was strong enough to see their light blue or blue hair and exotic facial features. Their looks were quite nice, only slightly inferior to Nillie.

He said, "This is the first time I’ve summoned you, isn’t it?"

"Your Highness, indeed it is." Chief Maid Nina bowed her head deeply.

"You won’t blame me for neglecting you, will you?" Roman interlaced his fingers, placing them over his abdomen.

"Your Highness, we don’t have such thoughts," Nina said. Blaming was forbidden, but feeling wronged was definite.

Nillie sent them over, saying it might take a period of tempering, asking them to wait patiently; as long as they created a good Relationship with Lord Roman, good results would eventually come.

However, since the capture of Fertile City, the latter was away from Origin City for ten out of twelve months, leaving no opportunity.

They found that by the time they realized this issue, their work positions were fixed, it would surely cause displeasure to skip work, and they didn’t have permission, nor did they have the qualification to speak with the River Valley King.

Almost two years have passed!

Do you know what we’ve gone through these two years?

Having been teaching at the school with grievances, finally seeing the person in reality, everyone had a feeling of silent mutual tears.

Roman glanced at Nillie’s Relationship, which was consistently above eighty-five, and said, "You’ve done well these past two years."

He valued education much, with the school system established during Nillie’s time.

Combining Origin and Fertile, there were over two hundred teachers managing nearly ten thousand children, all extremely busy.

Every month, it stabilized at producing close to eighty graduates for him—this number gradually growing, it was estimated that by next year, there would be a hundred graduates each month.

Of course, checking academic background, they graduated at the second grade of elementary level, truly elementary students!

Graduates were arranged with jobs, doing clerical work. Every day, they’d record the production and loss of farming tools, livestock slaughtering, food and vegetable stocks, peasant family residence records, and accounting financial subsidies, or on the other hand, follow Morry and Daken into business.

Do not tell them how difficult it was.

Graduation was the first threshold; work, the second.

They were like apprentices now, having to write one number and word after another in a small notepad, ensuring correctness meant success.

Those not meeting standards were kicked out for manual labor.

This behavior itself also resulted in the popularization of education.

Learning through labor, learning through work, Roman referred to them as young cadets.

Those graduates eliminated in work still had a positive role in society.

Roman did not expect all ten thousand students to succeed; even if ultimately only one-tenth remained, five years later, it would greatly reduce administrative pressure. They learned the laws of Origin City and followed the rules of the River Valley King, true future stars.

The six Sea Castle maids had played a certain role in the schools, and it wasn’t much, basically being class leaders with a side role as grade heads.

Presumably, Nillie had long conducted professional training with them, hence their rapid adaptation to teaching tasks.

"You come from Sea Castle, whatever reward you desire, feel free to ask, and I will fulfill all I can."

Nina, after a momentary silence, immediately said, "Your Highness, we hope to have the opportunity to serve you."

"Is that all?"
