Chapter 560: Educational Issues
"Spread the word to the Alliance, the Horde, and Lordaeron, we need to speed up the Northern Expedition," Patrick said cautiously, after a pause, "Ulduar is also a crisis of extinction, and we all need to deal with it together." ”
"Also, I need to take care of Kudran and Danas. After all, Stormgard and Eagle's Nest Mountain are on the verge of death, and restoring the population is their most important task, and if they are allowed to die too much in this battle, then they will not be far from breaking away from the Arcane Convention. Patrick looked at the Arcane Pact territory map in the hall: "And Duke Facurrest, the kingdom of Alterac that has always hoped for revival, is no longer even a country, and the population is more important to them. ”
Kael'thas dismissed: "We are arguably stronger now than we were before the Black Gate, and this is the first time in the history of Quel'Salas, and if they withdraw, it won't affect us." ”
"The area under our actual control is indeed larger than before, even if it goes back thousands of years, the comprehensive national strength of Quel'Thallas is unprecedented, and the cohesion in the elves' hearts is unprecedented." After a change of words, Patrick gave the reason: "But Stormgard, Kul Tiras, and Eagle's Nest Mountain are important forces that I use to stabilize other forces and other races, that is, we can also absorb other forces to join us in the future and become vassal races." ”
"Vassals? Like the walrusmen? ”
"That's right, it's a vassal, and only when our comprehensive national strength reaches a certain level can we become a full member of our country. And Stormgard, Eagle's Nest Mountain, etc., are the core layer and their bridges, and I believe that those who get the benefits of the Arcane Convention will definitely not miss it. ”
"Stabilizing humans and dwarves is the best choice, in fact, there are many countries that covet our land and creations, and we are famous for our arcane creations and rich lives in the entire continent, for other countries, Quel'Salas has the ability to 'money'."
"Having them here will be the best buffer zone for us, the best way to cushion the relationship between all races and us."
As a large group, can the capital of the initial financing be the same as the capital of the second financing, Patrick is to give all the groups that want to join the Arcane Convention a level, the index of any member state within the convention, or the support of a member state, which will be flocked to the whole continent, further deepen the idea of class status, and solidify the position of the top level where Quel'Salas is located.
To let every High Elf walk on the continent of Azeroth, and be respected and envied by the people of all other races and all countries, just like the relationship between Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, Lordaeron has an inexplicable worship for Quel'Thalas.
Of course, this is only externally.
Internally, Patrick also forced a change in Quel'Thalas's previous tradition of class ascension, so that the entire High Elves could develop, compete, and improve at an accelerated pace. It's a very simple truth, if you can't, you can come down and study hard for me, if you don't want to learn, want to be happy and free, then be honest and be a civilian, anyway, you won't starve to death.
"I wonder what you think of higher education in Quel'Thalas?" Patrick asked with interest. "Also, call Onexia to meet me."
Kael'thas and Aurelia immediately relented, after all, Quel'Thalas's education system existed for more than 5,000 years, and it had always been implemented according to that system.
"The Royal Arcane Society, the Silvermoon City Mage Guild are the two top schools in Quel'Salas, and there are countless high-level mages who have come out of them, and they are also two academies with complete systems."
The two largest schools in Quel'Salas, the Royal Arcane Society and the Silvermoon Mage Society. The biggest thing that these two schools have in common is that you have to fight for your dad if you want to get in.
To get into the two largest schools, there are generally four paths to choose from. The first is to throw money, there is nothing superfluous, that is, to throw money, you throw two or three thousand gold coins at the association, your child's enrollment is basically stable, and you can get the admission letter when the time comes, don't underestimate these two or three thousand gold coins, when Patrick was appointed by the Sun Temple, the council's appropriation for repairing the Sun Temple was only 800 gold coins;
The second is identity, many direct descendants of big nobles, after they plan to take the path of mages, the family will give them to serve in various places, or hold positions in some council or council, brush up their professional titles and experience, and after they are gilded outside, they will naturally be enough to enter the qualifications.
The third type is more peaceful, it only costs a small amount of money, which is suitable for medium-sized families like the Cabolon family, but these small amounts of money are only small money for the families of Sunwing and Dawn Star. That is, to donate some items to the association every month or year, materials, potions, enchantments, luxury goods and all kinds of daily use, so that when your child's level is enough, the test score is reached, and the two associations will give priority to your child.
When it comes to the fourth type, it will be more tired, in addition to the grades and the like, you have to pass all the grades, and you have to train at home. All kinds of magic books, arcane books, and even crazy exercises for arcane abilities, in addition to the necessary musical instruments, dance, etiquette, socializing, wine tasting, and ...... And so on and so forth, and you have to go to other mages' mage towers to study and further your studies, so that you can look more like a nobleman than other mages of the same level.
In fact, these four ways are all spelling dad, and it is a big spell, but the first two ways of spelling dad are more straightforward, the family is rich and noble top family, their patriarch or dad has an overwhelming advantage, and the father of the latter two is not so powerful, you need to fight for yourself.
The identity of the aristocracy is the precipitation of the temperament of several generations, and the atmosphere of the first generation of nobles in those commoners has not subsided, and the old nobles will not hook up with other first generations of nobles. The rise of Patrick's family, in the eyes of Sunwing, Dawn Star and others, is like a suddenly rich hillbilly, you used to work for me, and suddenly you are going to be an equal to me?
The high-ranking nobles would definitely not open up their true knowledge to the commoners, and the books Patrick read back then were all from the old Cabolon's collection, as well as the arcane books written by the family mages themselves.
When Patrick successfully became the master of the Seven Rings and entered the council one day, the treatment within the council was not good, and those invisible suppressions made Patrick understand the gap between the doors.
At that time, even the royal family knew what the big families were doing.
After all, as the two largest mage organizations in Quel'Salas, they are the social circles of the top nobles, and these two associations are the representatives of identity, as soon as the doors of the two associations are opened, there are more elves who are willing to pay money to enter, why should I give you preferential treatment, why don't I add a lot of thresholds and obstacles to admission.
And as the difficulty of admission increases, a top elite of the royal party and a top elite of the parliament can guarantee the purity of their own class and maintain their social status. Even Patrick himself, after his initial rise to prominence, was rejected from joining the Royal Arcane Society. Higher education is a club of elites, what is the elite, the elite is influence, and the rights and interests of the top aristocracy are reflected in society.
However, it must be said that the top nobles of Quel'Thalas, in this way to maintain their class, were very successful.
"Higher education is for class elevation, not for a tool to divide classes, and I want you to understand that." Patrick summoned Yanida directly with a magic teleportation, and handed him a piece of magic paper. "This is my education reform plan, and I will submit it to the Silver Moon Council for review and improvement."
