Chapter 334: Preparing to go to the North

Of course Sofia understood what Ethan said.

This is to ask her to hand over the command of the family.

Sophia has sacrificed a lot to get Ethan's support, and even helped herself in. All this was for the family's command, how could she be willing to hand over the command?

So, he said angrily: "Am I too good to you? Make you feel that you can do whatever you want?"

Seeing Sophia's reaction, Ethan was worried that she would be so angry that it would be bad for the child, so he quickly showed weakness.

“Don’t get me wrong, the family’s intelligence performance in recent times has been really bad.

I'm disappointed in them, that's all.

And I'm really worried about your health.

Think about it, you have a big belly and have to deal with so many things every day. I'm afraid you will be exhausted. "

Sofia looked at Ethan suspiciously, wanting to confirm whether he was telling the truth.

Ethan has already had an immune system to Sophia's intuitive talent, how can he let her see the clues.

Sofia saw that Ethan had no intention of fighting for power, and most of her anger disappeared instantly.

"Don't worry, I will rearrange the information."

Ethan almost laughed after hearing this.

rest assured?

Can I rest assured?

People have infiltrated into the house!

Ethan was helpless.

He believed in Sophia's intelligence ability before, but everything recently showed that the Lawson family's intelligence work was very poor.

If it was before, Ethan wouldn't care about this at all.

But today is different from the past. If you don't have a complete intelligence system, everything will be an afterthought, and you will be played to death sooner or later.

And it’s the kind of person who doesn’t even know how he will die.

Ethan originally wanted to take over as Sophia's intelligence officer, but Sophia didn't agree, so he had to find another way.

But what can be done?

How easy is it to build an independent intelligence system?

A series of problems such as personnel, mechanism, database, etc. are before us.

Moreover, these problems are all big problems. If you don’t have a few years of work and work hard to do this, don’t even think about it.

But where is the time now?

Ethan didn’t know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly remembered when he met the two-headed snake in the Northland.

Volibear once said that the two-headed snake was good for gathering intelligence.

That’s right!

It's the two-headed snake.

If it was because of the need to harvest wool before, I might not have dared to harvest it.

But now there is that little elf, it is just the icing on the cake, it is the same without it.

It seems that it is necessary to go back to the Northland, just in time to see that old guy.

However, after pulling out the wool of that little snake for so long, can it agree to become an apostle for me?

"Master! Don't worry! If it sees you, it will only kneel in front of you and beg you to take it in." Kyle heard Ethan's heartfelt voice and took the initiative to speak.

"That's good, I'll go in two days."

"As for other things, let's put them aside for now."

After making up his mind, Ethan started to go to the Northland in the next two days.

Going to the Northland is not like going to other places. It is impossible to go empty-handed.

First, I wanted to bring some gifts to my old friend Torisque. Although he didn't want money, Ethan couldn't help but give it. This was the rule.

Secondly, we need to inform the Northland liaison officer in Maruo City and ask him to help arrange a meeting with the Duke of Northland.

This time when I go to the Northland, I must stop by and talk to the Duke about issuing currency.

I don’t expect it to be finalized on the spot, but I want to at least have a chat with the Duke first.

Another thing is to stop by and see how the Northern Territory is doing.

However, if you want to patrol your own territory, you should prepare some gifts for Rand.

Although he was once an enemy, he is now relieved, and he is still protecting the territory for him, so he has to show some expression.

The gift for Rand doesn't need to be expensive, just his son's report card.

Thinking of his cheap brother, Ethan finally remembered that he hadn't paid attention to him for a long time.

So I quickly arranged for someone to get his transcript.

When I saw the results, I almost vomited blood.

This Alexander didn't know what he was studying in the academy. Whether it was basic subjects or knightly subjects, he failed in any of them.

The tuition fee has even increased to 369 gold.

Here I want to talk specifically about academic issues in this world.

The academics in this world are very similar to the university in Ethan's previous life. There are many subject categories and everyone can choose to study.

To graduate, students must earn enough credits before turning eighteen.

If you cannot complete enough credits by the time you reach the age of 18, you will be expelled as an unknown person.

Credits are earned on a progressive basis.

What is the progressive system?

To put it simply, if you specialize in a certain subject, learn it thoroughly and learn the essence, then you will get more credits.

If you excel in a certain subject, you can even graduate early.

Sophia originally had special attainments in space magic. Not only did she graduate early, she was also hired by the school.

Because it is difficult to obtain credits, many people are still unable to graduate even when they are eighteen years old, and can only retire sadly.

Some people may say that these people are really stupid. If they don’t understand, they just choose a few subjects and then take a little bit of each subject to get enough graduation points.

In theory, the idea is correct, but in practice it doesn't work.

Of course, this is not because of the restrictions of the college, but because of the different educational philosophies.

In Ethan's previous life, if you were bad at Chinese, you should take Chinese lessons.

If you were bad at math, you would take math lessons.

The emphasis was on all-round development, not partiality.

But here, it's the opposite.

If you were good at swordsmanship, you should take swordsmanship lessons.

If you were good at math, you should take math lessons.

The emphasis was on excellence.

The difference in educational philosophy meant that you couldn't get away with it.

When Ethan was studying at Allen College, he studied swordsmanship because he was good at swordsmanship, and won the championship of a swordsmanship competition.

With this championship, the credits were almost full, and he could graduate smoothly with just another half a school year.

In fact, because of this championship, Ethan was able to waive his tuition and even get a scholarship.

But because Ethan had no magic sense at all during the magic test, he was judged as an atheist.

The so-called atheists are those who have no respect for the god of magic.

In a world dominated by magic, this is no different from being a pagan in the church.

Therefore, Ethan was hated by the college leaders.

Not expelling him from the college, and being able to reduce some tuition fees was good enough.

As for scholarships, don't even think about it.

The tuition fees of Allen College are also determined based on your grades in the college.

You don't need to be good in every subject, as long as you have an outstanding grade in one subject, you can reduce tuition fees or even get a scholarship.

On the contrary, if your grades are very poor, you have to keep adding money.

Ethan remembered that Alexander's tuition fee for this school year seemed to be 299 gold, but now the school year has not ended yet, and he actually has to pay more.

This means that he has been demoted.

This bastard did it on purpose!

Ethan quickly looked at the record of the supplementary fees, and he supplemented 30 gold once and 40 gold once.

He was demoted twice in a row!

Ethan was so confused.

How dare he give this grade to Rand?

Let's not talk about Rand, as the younger brother of the Great Sword Saint, even if he is a nominal younger brother.

With such achievements, do you still have the face of the Great Sword Master?

"Embid, go call Alexander."

"Yes, Master!"
