Chapter 358 Nord College
Two days passed quickly. The next morning, Phyllis and others were waiting at the city gate very early. An hour after the city gate was opened by soldiers, old Johnny and his caravan arrived belatedly. Seeing Phyllis and others waiting there, Old Johnny showed an embarrassed smile. He scratched his head and said to Phyllis: "Something happened just now, we can leave now."

"Okay." Phyllis nodded, then motioned for his followers to follow up and integrate into the caravan.After Old Johnny paid a few silver coins to the soldiers guarding the gate, the caravan was allowed to pass and slowly left this peaceful and peaceful port city.

Listening to the crisp sound of horses' hooves on the paved road, Phyllis listened to the chatter and laughter of the caravan guards. Oh, I forgot to mention that on the day before departure, Phyllis didn't use much. The savings provided him and his entourage with a fast horse each. These horses are said to be fine breeds from the Lasik Plain, so they are relatively expensive.

At this time, the conversations of several caravan guards reached Felice's ears, which made him prick up his ears and listened with great interest.

"Have you heard that a while ago, a herd of wild boars ran amok in the territory of Crunia in the Duchy of Peggy, killing many people, and even the lord's army couldn't do anything about that group of animals." A middle-aged man holding a spear The young man sat on the side of the carriage and said to several horse guards on the side.

"Isn't this a normal thing? Similar things happen almost every year." The other guard said indifferently, as if he was used to it.

Not only did he think so, but other guards also thought so. One of the men with a short bow on his back said in a teasing tone: "There is nothing famous in the Principality of Page, but this herd of wild boars is the only one that has been captured by other countries." People are familiar with it, in other words, wild boars are already the most famous specialty of the Principality of Page."

"Who wants this kind of special product? It's too dangerous." The coachman driving the carriage interjected, "I remember that there was a nobleman who wanted to catch a wild boar as a mount and train a wild boar rider, but he failed in the end. , because wild boars are not easy to control, they can easily get out of control and hurt their own people.”

"Hog Rider? Chick..."

Although I don't know if this Hog Rider is real or not, Felice still couldn't help laughing out loud, what a genius it is to come up with this type of arms. To be honest, compared to the Hog Rider, riding a bull to fight is even worse. A little more reliable.

……

After several years of recuperation, the national strength of the Lijin Principality has initially recovered a lot. The farmland on both sides of the road is no longer in the barren state of a few years ago, but full of various crops, and the villages in the distance are no longer uninhabited. Today, those traveling businessmen with big bags and canes are also active in the fields again.

Speaking of it, the ability to recover from years of wars to the present level still depends on the Kingdom of Winster in the south. After the strong rise of the Winster people, the two small countries in the north instantly realized that they were afraid. They hurriedly negotiated a truce and recuperated , To accumulate strength, I am afraid that the Winster people will go north and annex them one day. To be safer, they also joined the encirclement network against the Kingdom of Winster.

I don't know whether joining the siege network played a role or other reasons. The Kingdom of Winster did not go north, but recuperated like them, conducting business and trade with surrounding countries, and developing the domestic economy.Even a few months ago, the first Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Winster was completed in Nord, the capital of the kingdom, which attracted many applications from noble children and people from surrounding countries. For those who came to sign up for study, King Richard They do not reject anything, but deliberately increase the tuition fees for foreigners. Even so, they still cannot stop the enthusiasm of foreigners to enroll.

Richard is very clear that the purpose of these foreigners coming to study is nothing more than to learn the knowledge of gunpowder weapons, apply it to the army of his own country, and deal with the Winsters in turn-but Richard would be so stupid Well, the chemical knowledge about gunpowder is not included in the content of the knowledge taught, and in fact, Richard has no relevant talents to be sent as lecturers, because in this backward era, the formula of gunpowder is only Richard and the researcher. All those people mastered.

So, what does this imperial capital teach?Because of the lack of specialized talents, there were not many courses in the first session, which were divided into three aspects: military, economics and management.Military, as the name implies, is to teach military command knowledge, some command infantry, command cavalry, and some command the navy (however, due to space constraints, the Naval Academy was established on Kuban Island), and the lecturers are retired officers from the legion. And the retired generals who came here from other countries; the economy is simple, mainly commercial trade and operating industries, which invited merchant affairs officers recruited from the system and some indigenous businessmen with outstanding abilities as lecturers; as for the last management , it is about some administrative knowledge. Most of the lecturers are brought here from the half-forced and half-invited area of ​​the college in Yaquik City. They have rich experience and used to be the mainstay of Yaquik College. After that, the college there gradually fell into disrepair.

In addition to these three courses on the surface, there are some courses that cannot be placed on the surface and are not open to the public. This kind of courses are about the infiltration, spying, lurking, poisoning, and sabotage of spies. As well as the assassination, assault, and kidnapping of assassins.These two kinds of professional training are for newly recruited spy and assassin affairs officers. According to Richard's order, any newly recruited affairs officers must undergo a period of training at Nord Academy to enhance relevant abilities.

At the same time that the main body of the college was completed, in addition to the Naval Academy on Kuban Island, which was still under construction, there was also a seminary built next to the Nord Cathedral. Anyone can sign up.The dean of the seminary will be served by Cardinal Peter Scanrel himself. As the highest religious leader in the kingdom, he is the only suitable candidate for the dean, and he is also the most respected person by all priests—except His Majesty Richard Caesar Besides, he was alone.

……

On the way Prince Phyllis went to the city of Tus, what he heard most was the academy in Nord City. He saw with his own eyes that many noble-looking people were sitting in the restaurant of the hotel, discussing with great interest the Nord College's longing and longing, he listened to it and became interested, so he took a wine glass and walked to them politely, speaking the not very proficient Vadasian, the gentleman asked: "Excuse me, What is the Nord College you speak of?"
