What was beyond Anfa's imagination was that the education zone in Xiahui City was too big.

Starting from Xiahui Lake and extending all the way to the interior of the northeastern mountainous area, this entire new development zone eventually became the Yinfengling education zone.

Elementary schools, middle schools, technical schools, vocational and technical schools, Ascendant training camps, Austrian Path training camps and Boy Scout training grounds...

Child care center, adult education college, art college, psychic development center, Xiahui Lake special operations testing center...

A large number of extremely important educational facilities and testing sites are concentrated in this land that is far away from the city but firmly located in the control of Xiahui City.

It can be overlooked by Xio's Dragon Nest and can be watched by the Lord's Mansion on Silver Peak. Next to it is the garrison and the concentration of agricultural buildings. While being protected in the center of all armed forces, you can also get the freshest and most delicious ingredients.

It can be said that the education zone of Xiahui City is a small city that has received special treatment.

In this small city, there are only ‘students’ and ‘educators’.

Anfa was surprised to follow Ian as he walked in the education zone. She saw students of different ages in the zone in different areas, chatting happily with their peers, exchanging learning or interesting things in school.

They are always smiling, and sometimes they are sad, but it is just because of homework and other youthful worries.

They don't have to worry about food, clothing, or the future. They learn the most precious knowledge in the world and enjoy their best years and purest happiness.

"...All the school-age children in Silver Peak are basically here, right?"

Anfa lowered her eyes. She sensed the entire zone, concentrated on calculations, and quickly came up with a number that shocked her: "Oh my god, there are more than 110,000 underage children in the entire zone... How on earth did you put these Children snatched from their parents?!”

"My people are very aware of current affairs. Don't use the word robbing. They all sent it here on their own initiative."

Ian was not surprised by Anfa's wrong choice of words. He just emphasized: "I don't even charge tuition here, why don't they send their children here?"

In many parts of Terra, children are the property of their parents.

The poorer you are, the more you have children.

In the eyes of those parents, children are not the inheritance of blood or the continuation of dreams. Just a child, not so rare and valuable. The birth of these little lives has only one meaning, that is, when they grow up, they will become the family's labor force, become the family's fighting force, and use the force and numbers to fight against other families and villages.

The strength of a family can be measured by the number of people in a family. The more people there are, the more land can be reclaimed, the more water sources can be grabbed, the more fields can be cultivated, and the more prey can be hunted.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, if someone asks a family to send their children to study, and let these people understand that studying is a good thing worth supporting, it is really a bit taken for granted.

This is equivalent to asking parents to cut off a piece of flesh and property to pursue a 'future' they have never thought about.

However, it is different in Yinfeng collar.

The foundation of Silver Peak Leader lies in the mountain people.

The mountain people do not have very deep-rooted farming habits, and their ability to use children's labor force is relatively weak. Before the children grow up, no one will force them to hunt, and most of them stay in the tribe to handle some manual chores. Materials and training.

In addition, in the past two years, due to the output of agricultural buildings and new fertilizers, everyone has enough to eat and everyone has a surplus of food at home. The little labor power of children has become despised.

With the expansion of various factories and processing facilities in the Silver Peak Territory, the tribal people who used to be somewhat leisurely have also become busy. It is difficult for parents to spare time to accompany or take care of their children.

Under the premise that the mountain people's living habits have undergone drastic changes, Ian, as the leader of the Chongling Sect, the messenger of the Dragon God, and the Earl of Yinfeng, said that he has opened an education area that can educate their children on behalf of everyone and help take care of them. , teach and learn, and provide sufficient food and subsidies...

Will anyone really say no?

Of course not, absolutely not!

Not only that, there were even some families who were not Silver Peak leaders. After hearing the news, they went crazy and sent their children to study.

It's not because of subsidies.

It's because they know that when most people send their children to Earl Yinfeng, if their children are not involved, then it will definitely be their children who will be isolated in the future.

Therefore, Ian never robbed, and everyone willingly sent their children here to receive his education and become his team.

Of course, the essence is that Ian Silver Peak is one of the founders of the Arcane Path, one of the strongest people in Nanling, and the leader who leads Silver Peak to glory and prosperity step by step.

There is no need for any reason for what he wants to do. The sailors will imagine and explain it themselves. If he wants to call for something, people won't even think about it, they will just support it without thinking.

Even people who don't believe that Ian has such good intentions will definitely be afraid of Ian, so they have to follow Ian's rules.

Therefore, one call is answered by a hundred responses.

Not only parents, but also students are very satisfied with the education section.

The Yinfengling Education Zone is mainly divided into three levels: primary schools to take care of children, middle schools to take care of teenagers, and vocational colleges for young people.

In primary school, the main purpose is to learn literacy, learn basic mathematics, understand part of the world's geography, broaden their thinking horizons, and look at the world from a simple Yinfeng collar perspective from an early age. Moreover, from an early age, Yinfeng collar students must receive military training. , some students can also participate in Boy Scout military training during vacations, and those who perform well can be sent to sublimation training camps in the future.

This is a model for screening children's geniuses: basic elementary schools, outstanding students in elementary schools can be selected into the Boy Scouts, and outstanding children of the right age in the Boy Scouts will be sent to special sublimation training camps to become Silver Peak leaders from an early age. The sublime reserve training.

As for other children whose talents have not yet been revealed, they will come to middle school.

The main subjects studied in middle school are various slightly more complex knowledge, such as physics, chemistry, alchemy and history, sublimation philosophy and some basic inscription analysis, etc.

Of course, the outstanding students among them will also be selected into the Boy Scouts, or they may directly enter the military academy to study and become officers upon graduation.

This is mainly to screen out some individuals who did not show their talents and intelligence as children, and also to find talents who are better at complex courses.

As for the higher-level professional colleges, they are essentially responsible for converting students who graduate from middle schools into employees and soldiers in major factories and the military.

Although the first class of graduates has not yet appeared, everyone knows that as soon as they enter the education zone, the school will assign jobs to them.

As long as your grades are up to standard, you will have something to eat in the future no matter what.

If you perform well, you will not only get a bite of rice, but you may even have a chance to become an ascendant!

Slightly younger children may not be able to understand this matter, but teachers will also lead children to study hard with honors, rewards, class positions and various other methods.

As long as the older children hear the three words "sublimator", they will be as full of motivation as if they were given a shot of chicken blood.

Yes. Perhaps every child yearns for freedom, without compulsory study and homework, and just wants to play all day long... But if you tell them that as long as they study hard, they can become an Ultraman Masked X warrior and a high-X driver in the future. And wait for the existence that is cool and powerful and can fully satisfy their pretentious desires in adolescence.

They will definitely work hard!

In this case, under the guidance of teachers and dreams, children who still choose to play and fish can only become ordinary people and ordinary employees, and work as parts for the Silver Peak Collar in the future.

After all, this is their own choice and Ian will not care about it anymore.

People also have the right to choose to be ordinary.

In addition, the education zone is never just about schools.

Here, there are all kinds of most advanced puzzle games and competitive events in the Silver Peak Territory. From cards to chess, from ball games to musical instruments, from painting to literature, from cooking to planting... Whether it is hobbies or play, simple entertainment or spontaneous learning, the special area has everything.

"It's impossible for humans to give up the game."

When Anfa looked at a 'game store' opened opposite the school, Ian said calmly: "Because games are essentially a simulation of reality. It originates from simulating some dangerous actions in reality, but it is more The reality is milder.”

"Death in the game is not real death. Failure in the game is not real failure. But through games, children can build various skills that they should have to endure hardship to master in the future."

"Look."

Ian raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the shop, where two mountain children were concentrating on a simulated sand table simulation of a mountainous area, moving their chess pieces according to the rules to play the game: "Through games, many children understand why the enemy They will not fight you in a head-on battle, but will definitely steal the rear and sabotage the logistics. They may not remember it if you reason ten thousand times, but as long as they experience losing once, they will remember it forever."

"Look here again."

The group of people came to a rather complicated artificial jungle area. There were slightly older children in the area who were working in teams to engage in fierce simulated battles - those non-lethal knives and guns had their own judgments. The boys and girls The specially-made clothes on the body will produce electric shocks upon contact, paralyze the body, and then be judged to be death.

Watching this scene, Ian said calmly: "One person cannot win against other teams working alone. They will learn to unite, trust each other, entrust each other, and simple division of labor."

"There are many more."

Ian took Anfa and Xiou through various areas, various games and trainings, as well as extracurricular interests and hobbies. He saw the expression on Anfa's face change from surprise and shock to thoughtfulness, from thoughtfulness to solemnity now, and finally from solemnity to suddenness and helplessness.

He said calmly: "These are extremely difficult for elves to learn, because there are too few royal blood among you, and they are too strong compared to ordinary people, so that they cannot cooperate and learn fairly... The huge difference makes them You can only receive special elite education, and my education section is aimed at all ordinary people, as well as geniuses among ordinary people."

"It's not just that." Anfa smiled bitterly and continued: "Your arcane path can be opened to all ordinary people, allowing them to practice and achieve success, and we... are destined to gather this knowledge and resources and focus on our heirs. ."

"Actually, the education within the Blood of the Elf King is much better than what you showed Ian. We can even enter the center of the World Tree for more professional virtual reality learning. But that's it. Only the Blood of the Ten Kings And some descendants of elves who have made significant contributions can enjoy this education."

"As for the Silver Peak Leader, everything is open to the public. If you want it, you can get it...you just need to work hard."

Ian didn't speak or nod. He just stared at the dormitory area in the education area in front of him. Here, students receive instruction from dormitory instructors, learn to live independently, live with other peers, and learn the first interpersonal interactions.

"actually."

He said softly: "This is just an orphanage. Education in the real interstellar age is not that simple at all."

Anfa and Xiou didn't understand, but Ian shook his head slightly: "In short, I have used every method to build a new generation of education system, try my best to avoid the impact of bad families on children, and make everything as fair and reliable as possible ——But to be honest, I just did the best I could. I don’t have much confidence in whether this education system is of great use.”

"What I can do is to give them a skill before they leave the academy, so that they can rely on what they have learned to survive, earn money and grow up slowly. I can only let them learn basic morals and worldview, so that they can become People who are different from their elders.”

"What are you sighing for?"

Anfa was really surprised by Ian's emotion. The green-haired elf looked at the school dormitory in front of her and said with emotion: "If nothing else, Ian. Even if your school can't teach people to learn anything at all, There’s also something incredible about it.”

"What point?" Ian was quite curious. He waited for Anfa to reveal his unexpected advantages.

And Anfa said seriously: "There is no bullying in this entire zone."

"Bullying?"

Ian blinked, and then said with some confusion: "Why is there bullying?"

"Why isn't there bullying?"

Anfa raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Do you think that all children are gentle and lovely babies? Or do you think that there is no animality and aggression in people? Do you think that children will not be different because of their differences? Start to divide small groups, then fight against each other, and even bully?"

"None of that is possible, so bullying is definitely going to happen."

"Rich people versus poor people with high intelligence versus low intelligence, able-bodied versus disabled people. People who are beautiful or ugly will be bullied. As long as anyone is different from the whole campus, Then there is a possibility that they will be ostracized and vigilant, and then...become a sacrifice for the 'group'."

Having said this, Anfa turned his head and looked to the west, where Canaan Moore is located: "The evil in the nature of children, or the evil in human nature, will be inspired. You have gathered so many My child didn’t let this evil ferment, which is really incredible to me!”

"Is this so?"

Ian was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I think this is because the teachers here really handle every dispute among the children fairly and fairly."

Anfa's eyes were solemn and regretful, and he could see clearly. As for bullying and violence among children, it is also an issue that the entire education zone needs to be vigilant from the beginning.

Therefore, he set up possible measures against these from the beginning.

First, there is the full-time supervision of the Heart of Terra.

Every student carries a terminal to receive information from teachers and schools, and the Heart of Terra will also use the terminal as a medium to prevent many disputes that should have continued to expand.

Even without a terminal, the Heart of Terra still has the power to directly suppress the violent party with psychic energy and send teachers to deal with the problem.

In Yinfengling, teachers are not a profession that will be dealt with or even held accountable if parents complain - this profession is essentially a reserve instructor for the Yinfengling sublimation unit.

They won't make peace, and they won't each play fifty games. With the Heart of Terra, everything is clear about who is right and who is wrong, who started the conflict first, who is bullying whom, who is threatening whom, and who takes the initiative to stir up trouble.

There is no luck, no extra-judicial mercy, and no blurred boundaries. As long as you make a mistake, you will be punished, or even expelled from the educational zone, and the entire family will be punished.

I am afraid of being more truthful in everything. As long as you are serious enough and as long as you really try to make people obey the rules at any cost, then a harmonious order will be born.

No one has any objection to this.

After all, the Silver Peak Territory is not the earth, nor is it any private school, academy, or school for nobles on Terra. It is a unique, 'dictatorship' educational area shaped by the will of the lord.

Here, even parents are not allowed to take away their children, and no child can ever expect that his parents will allow him to enjoy privileges. All the rules written in the student handbook must be followed, and except for principled issues such as "no bullying of classmates" and "no fighting in school", children can do whatever they want. They can form their own clubs or participate in technical groups hosted by the school. , free to express your nature.

Bullying? Ian has never thought about such a small problem. If under his supervision and education, all the students in the Silver Peak Territory cannot learn what it means to respect others and respect themselves, and cannot understand what it means to abide by the law, then Terra's heart is really It's all made in vain.

"You are really building your own order..."

Anfa also knew about the existence of the Heart of Terra. After all, its origin was the source material computing chip sent by the Last Echo. Regarding this, the Elf Princess just sighed softly: "Whether it is the territory or the future education... When the new generation of Silver Peak When the leaders grow up, the society and city they shape are definitely very different from other regions."

At this moment, because Xiou did not cover his horns too seriously, some sharp-eyed children noticed the dragon girl and even guessed who the person wearing the alchemist's robe was.

Immediately, these children were not afraid but waved and saluted in the direction of Xiou and Ian from a distance, and then looked here with curious eyes from a distance.

"Xio, the children are waiting for you."

Ian smiled and signaled, and Xiou said confidently: "Wait!"

Soon, Xio's dragon body slowly flew over and landed on the large square in the center of the education zone.

[The top 1,000 students with comprehensive performance today are here to gather]

The dragon's majestic voice echoed throughout the city: [Today it's your turn to overlook the scenery! 】

"Wow, thank you, Teacher Xio!"

【Sit tight! 】

Immediately, there were cheers one after another, and according to the information sent from the terminal, a long team lined up in the square, and there was an extra layer of seats on the back of the dragon that were transformed from the old steel prosthetics, and it took a hundred students with it. He flapped his wings and took off, soaring straight into the sky: [Woohoo! take off! 】

This is the reward that Xio will come over occasionally and give to all the children who have performed well - they can walk with the real dragon and overlook the entire Nanling land.

The humanoid bodies of Ian, Anfa and Xiou stood there, looking up at Xiou's real dragon body flying above the clouds.

Watching this scene, Anfa slowly said: "I have always been discriminated against. In other words, I am not regarded as the same kind."

"I am of dragon blood, and I have been different since I was a child. I have dragon horns on my forehead, and dragon scales on my neck. I am taller and slender than the average person of the same age. I can change my gender at will, and occasionally... Men, mostly women.”

"Humans and elves cannot understand a life like mine. It was difficult for me to understand myself before. Why am I so unique and different? When I was a boy, boys would think that I was a woman, and I was close to the girls' group. At that time, they were worried that I could become a man."

"My power is stronger than theirs, so they worship me and fear me on the surface, but in fact they call me a bastard behind my back. They won't deliberately not communicate with me, but wherever I go, there is nothing. Isn’t this extremely simple rejection just a form of silent bullying?”

"I don't even have enemies. Because I am the only direct blood descendant of Ember Lamp, and I have a fourth-level councilor mother."

"I feel boredom, boredom that has been constant since I was born."

Turning her head slightly, Anfa looked at Ian and Xiou, and she murmured: "Xio is my kind, even more miserable than me. I just can't integrate into the high-level elves in Canaan Moore, but he You have to experience incredible pain every moment and endure the mistakes that have been made since birth.”

"Xio, I gained strength from you. Without your comparison, I can't imagine whether I could get through that time. Without your company, I can't get rid of that loneliness at all... But this makes me feel even more despicable"

Lowering his head slightly, Anfa seemed a little ashamed, but Xio didn't understand what was going on at all: 'Despicable? What's so despicable about you? Rather, I seem to have helped you to some extent? "

"Great!'

Without hesitation, Xiou spread his arms and hugged Anfa fiercely, making Anfa feel a little embarrassed.

Letting go of her hand, Anfa looked at Ian, and she said seriously: "Ian, everything you have done is to fundamentally change the world. I finally understand why all high-level powerful people, including the World Tree Center, I am so optimistic about you - because you have indeed created a set of logic and a new world order."

"It also made me understand what I want to build Canaan Moore into!"

She also spread her arms, hugged Ian seriously, and said in a firm voice: "You and Xiou are both my treasures."

“The motivation that makes me feel that the world is no longer boring.”

"Thank you."

In response, Ian just patted this friend who finally vented his depression and strengthened his belief. He said seriously: "You're welcome."

"After all, we are friends, right?"

"Why did you abandon me!" Xio looked at this scene and immediately became unhappy. She jumped over and hugged the two people's necks fiercely: "Don't exclude me!"

——Where does this competitive spirit come from... And can you please let go? Good weight!

Ian, who was wondering if he had been taken advantage of by two dragon hooligans, couldn't help but fall into deep thought - had he paid too much for Silver Peak Leader's diplomacy?

Canaan Moore's visit incident has come to an end for the time being.

Soon, as Xio and Anfa returned to their respective lairs and camps, Ian was temporarily free.

His consciousness was temporarily projected to the New World.

There, the Glazed Dragon was heading to the location of the ‘giant floating mountain range’ reported to him by his subordinates.

The key material 'zero element' that the Glazed Dragon needs to understand the higher gravity organs in the true dragon's body is in the center of this mountain range, and there is a lot of it.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
