Chapter 12 Genius

"Time, are you fast or slow——"

The angle of time is always so strange. Before you know it, it disappears like flowing water.

In the magic language class, Avis listened to the teacher's explanation, but his mind was wandering.

After the tea party several years ago, Duke Carrot called him to the castle study for a talk and then gave him a list directly.

The list listed a large number of family properties. The Duke waved his hand and allowed him to choose any three properties to run on his own.

Carrot's original words were: Do it according to your ideas, don't be afraid of failure, the family is not short of this industry -

After thinking for a while, Avis selected a small or medium-sized chamber of commerce and two newly built civilian assembly factories.

Of course, although he was nominally given full authority to run the business, in fact, Avis only needed to control the general direction, and the specific matters would be handled by his subordinates.

Both factories will be newly built and their assembly production lines will need to be custom-made in the Itel Kingdom Federation.

The first thing Anvis did was to cancel the factory's original production lines and convert them all into production lines for assembling trains.

The Duke was noncommittal about his choice, but due to the news of the opening of the Glorious, there was indeed a train craze in various places.

But this also led many nobles to follow suit and build train assembly factories, and the competition became extremely fierce.

But what the Duke didn't know was that Anvis's purpose was not to earn gold coins, but to plan for the future.

The family is not interested in the development of constructs. The Duke had mentioned magical constructs specifically before only because he was worried that they would lead to instability in the province.

Rather than worrying that the popularization of construction will shake the family's ruling position.

Due to limitations in materials and technology, currently, true magical constructs can only exert a maximum power of around level six.

Perhaps someone could use some special technology to forcibly create a magical construct that could exert power above the seventh level.

But that usually involves high-level alchemical methods and a large amount of precious materials, which has lost the meaning of the construction itself and is more like a normal alchemical item.

In fact, this lack of interest is also a microcosm of the old aristocracy of the entire empire.

In their opinion, for them who had not fought a war for thousands of years and had ninth-level warriors, these "moving scrap metals" had no meaning at all except being placed on the top of the city to fight against wild beasts.

However, due to the characteristics of the structure, if it is allowed to develop, it will cause the underlying layer to become unstable.

It has two biggest advantages - there is almost no limit on the operator's personal strength, and it can be mass-produced.

If there are too many of these things and they are used by low-level professionals to cause damage, it would be quite annoying.

A low-level professional equipped with specially made magic armor can instantly exert the destructive power of a mid- or high-level professional.

Even if it is successfully suppressed afterwards, the damage and losses caused will be far greater than normal.

Therefore, the old aristocracy always maintained strict control over the development of construction.

But Avis knows that construction development is the trend of the future.

Moreover, with the birth of several key i technologies, the constructs gradually broke through the limitations of their own insufficient power through special means, and became a huge threat that no one could ignore.

As a man who knows history well, he will never allow himself to lag behind the times in this regard. On the contrary, he will overtake them in advance.

As the only large-scale constructed object designated for civilian use by the imperial family, the production of constructed trains requires massive amounts of metal raw materials and specially made super-large production lines.

With these two assembly factories as cover, he can openly mobilize large amounts of assembly materials without arousing suspicion from others.

When the need arises in the future, other large-scale war structures can be easily produced by simply making some modifications to the entire production line.

Moreover, the family's territory also needs to popularize assembled trains, and of course, it is safer to give such orders to the family's own factory.

"Sir Anvis, are you listening?"

Anvis's magic language tutor was a sixth-rank royal scholar who looked to be around fifty years old. He had gray hair on his temples and a high hairline, which was getting higher recently.

At this moment, he eliminated the magic words floating in the air, frowned slightly, and looked at Avis with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course, Mr. David!"

Avis quickly collected his thoughts and answered seriously.

"Okay! So, what does [Ri~ket-en] mean in Gumani? Give an example of its application."

David frowned and asked Avis a question. In line with his question, a new line of magic words emerged, flickering with a faint fluorescence in the air.

"It stands for 'gnawing', sir. In the third-level spell 'excavation', it is located in the second section of the third paragraph.

In the context of a noun, it is used to refer specifically to the "squirrel on the world tree."

“…Absolutely correct.”

Mr. David was very confused. He always felt that Avis was absent-minded, but no matter what questions he asked, Avis could answer them fluently.

After a long time, he gradually began to doubt his own vision.

"Perhaps... all true geniuses are like this? He is not daydreaming, but thinking?"

This kind of doubt is not only shared by Mr. David, but also by almost all the instructors who are responsible for educating Anvis.

Gradually, when the Duke asked about his studies, the tutors began to praise him highly, saying that Anvis was a true genius.

While listening to the lectures, you can also engage in deeper thinking.

At first, Anvis was full of questions.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Is that so? Then I am truly a rare genius!

In the end, he reluctantly accepted the fact. While attracting the attention of the Duke and Duchess, he also received Fiona's admiring gaze.

He was not worried that the secret of his rebirth would be discovered, as he had already passed the soul synchronization test. As long as it was not too outrageous, everything could be attributed to his talent.

As he gets older, what Anvis studies every day is constantly changing.

Linguistics advances to magical linguistics, and the language currently taught is Gumanic.

This language has been passed down since the ancient magic empire. The characters themselves contain mysterious power. It is the most widely used magical language among spellcasters on the continent.

Avis understood from his memory that after mastering this language, there were four more languages ​​to come: High Elven, Dragon Language, Ancient Dragon Language, and Titan Language.

In addition, music and art were added to the morning learning items. The time for learning etiquette was reduced by half, and social content was added.

For example, how to please a lady.

History has been extended to include archaeology, and the course duration remains unchanged.

The afternoon was no longer idle. A total of four magic hours of magical materials, inscriptions, alchemy and mysticism took up a lot of Avis' time.

After a day of classes, Avis went to the library as usual.

Due to his diligence and the improvement of his own strength, the Duke made an exception and increased his authority.

Now, he can read most magic books below level three.

In the silent library, the young man's thin and pale figure seemed somewhat lonely. Although the book in his hands was open, the pages had not been turned for a long time.

His birth was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed. He had been thinking of a way out of the situation over the years.

Several years have passed since the Glory was put into service. During this period of time, the situation in the empire has not fluctuated too much.

On the contrary, due to the construction of many new magic assembly factories, many people have gained income and jobs, and their lives are thriving.

But Avis knew that this was only an appearance. The seeds of the new era had already quietly fallen, like sparks pressed down by fallen leaves.

All it takes is a strong wind to ignite a raging fire, turning the rotten jungle of the old times into ashes.

The memories from little Anvis's first-person perspective filled in many details that he had not known in the game.

Unfortunately, memory fragments are limited after all, and they don’t reveal many key details.

After a while, he sighed, closed his eyes gently, then slowly opened them again, forcing himself to shift his attention back to the book.

Only here could he not feel the omnipresent and hidden surveillance.
