Chapter 379 - I“m a Vengeful Person (2/2)

In a modern information society, speed was all that mattered. When everybody has access to the same information, the winner would be the person who first made use of it.

Roland was only mediocre in modern society in terms of knowledge and vision, but in this world, he was way better than most of the n.o.bles and merchants.

“I have many ideas, but it’s too premature to implement them now, so I’ve decided to start with the basics.”

Roland intentionally paused to let the suspense build.

Everybody stared at him eagerly.

Vincent, as another player, vaguely guessed what Roland was going to do and put on a smile.

“Education!”

While a hundred people looked at him hopefully, Roland spoke that word.

“In the eyes of the Golden Sons, education is the foundation of everything and the most rewarding investment.”

All the n.o.bles whispered to each other after hearing that.

On the dais, Roland waited patiently for them to calm down.

After they whispered for a while, the noise gradually died down.

“You must be thinking that education is uninteresting for you. Why would you bother to study at my place when you have your own teachers in your family?” Roland smiled cunningly. “But what if I were going to systematically teach Mages on a large scale? What do you think?”

After a brief silence, exclamations suddenly burst out in the hall, as if someone had just detonated a bomb.

While everybody chatted vehemently, one of them shouted at Roland, “Mr. Roland, are you serious?”

Everybody wanted one or two Mages in their family! Everybody!

But not all of them had the talent, or mentors to teach them.

They did not question Roland’s capabilities. Roland was just an official Mage when he came to Delpon, but he was now an Elite Mage on the threshold of being a Master.

They had no doubt that Roland had an effective way of training on account of his fast growth.

Besides, Vivian and Jerry had become official Mages too, after only a short time. It wouldn’t be long for the other four traveling magic apprentices.

If other people’s children could make it, there was no reason why their own children couldn’t.

“Mr. Roland, how are you going to choose candidates?”

“Mr. Roland, I have a few children, both boys and girls. They’re all lovely. You’re free to choose any of them.”

Their exclamations were almost lifting the roof.

They gradually approached Roland. They would’ve surrounded him if they weren’t intimidated by his ident.i.ty as a Mage.

Roland pressed his hands down, asking them to be quiet.

The hall immediately fell quiet. Nothing but the rain could be heard. The guests even subconsciously held their breath.

“You’ve shown me respect by partic.i.p.ating in my banquet despite such a heavy storm. Therefore, the first batch of magic apprentices will be selected from among your young children as well as the children of civilians half a month from now. As for the people who didn’t attend this banquet, their children will wait at least three years, if I’m still in the mood to teach them.”

In the end, Roland squinted and smiled. “I’m a petty and vengeful person.”
