Chapter 232

That afternoon, a group of ten returned to Duchy of Thunder in mighty contingents and went back to the territory of Baron Keane via horse-drawn carriage .

Crick Keane gained a fortune at the casino of Void Mask Theme Park and recruited a bunch of amazing experts . Pastor Machee, from the church of the God of Nobles, heard this and was very upset . She was in charge of such matters .

Even though she was Spencer Smith’s sister, she was different from her brother who believed in the God of Knights . This pastor of the God of Nobles was a treacherous and brutal woman . She was full of greed and ambition .

The reason might have been because the siblings had different realizations when they encountered danger back when they were young . Hence, the two of them formed entirely opposite life outlooks . Or maybe it was simply because one was be influenced by close association; or even a difference in natural disposition . In short, Spencer Smith was a little arrogant but considered upright and honorable . Machee Smith was always hiding a treacherous stratagem underneath her smile . But besides sharing similarities in their facial features, they were two entirely contrary individuals .

Pastor Machee was a rising star in the church of the God of Nobles, and mainly in charge of the penetration and seizing of territory . The God of Nobles did not acquire the faith of all nobles naturally; just as there were many mages in the world that didn’t believe in the God of Mages, and knights that didn’t believe in the God of Knights . They believed in a variety of Gods, some kind and some wicked . There were even some that believed in Cthulhu and Demons… The average morality of the bunch of nobles wasn’t great . On the contrary, there were many that were so low in their morals that it would require some time and effort to find them .

The same went for Machee Smith . She was a typical character that would stop at nothing to get what she wanted . Threats, temptation, bribing, assassination… She’d do anything that would help her achieve her goal . She would commit any crime without giving a d*mn . She wouldn’t feel one bit of guilt .

The chef that poisoned Crick Keane was cursed by a female spy who was nurtured in secret by the church of the God of Nobles . She was sent by Machee to seduce him with beauty . Applying the carrot and stick judiciously, she made the chef, who worked for the Keane family for over a decade, betray his master .

When she found out Crick Keane woke up magically after being poisoned, she thought she could find another chance to poison him again . But she quickly realized that Baron Keane, who only knew about reading and drawing, had suddenly become smart . He even started to run internal checks . Hence, she decided to kill the chef .

Due to the sudden death of the chef, Crick felt insecure and tried to get help immediately .

Machee originally planned to send people to ambush Baron Keane as he returned to his territory . But her spy told her that the lucky bastard had gained a fortune in Void Mask Theme Park, and hired a troop of experts . So, she gave up the plan .

But… it was not over yet!

The female pastor always smiled gently and made people feel like they were bathing in the spring wind . Now, she shattered the magic crystal used for communication . Due to an excess exertion of strength, her nails cracked and started bleeding . She put her finger to her mouth and sucked the fresh blood as she smiled coolly .

“Among my brother’s silly friends, there is a lucky person!” Her smile was enough to paralyze a coward where they stood . “Alright, let me see . How do I ‘have fun’ with them…”

With the danger and potential enemy that Crick was dealing with, Sui Xiong didn’t check carefully . He was occupied by another important task .

School .

The literacy school in Void Mask Theme Park had been running for some time then, and they had nurtured talents that could read and write . But these talents were giving the administrative officer, Liv, a headache . She didn’t know how to allocate them .

There weren’t many people that were literate . It would be a waste to send them back to farming or hard labor, and it would damage their enthusiasm . But how would they arrange a suitable post for them? It wasn’t that easy .

Normally, a literate person could easily obtain a decent job regardless of where they were . They could easily bring up a family and obtain a certain level of standing in society . Of course, that was what commoners thought . Although Void Mask Theme Park wasn’t small, arranging a decent job for such a huge group of people was definitely out of his coverage .

The administrative officer pondered, but she couldn’t figure out any suitable way to do it . In the end, she could only bring up the question to Void Mask Majesty . It was His idea to promote education, so he should solve the aftermath problem too .

Receiving Liv’s report, Sui Xiong was shocked . He never expected that there unemployment in his territory .

“Isn’t reading and writing natural? Why is it those who know how to read and write can’t do farming, can’t do simple work?” He asked in distress .

Liv wasted a long time to explain the problem to him .

When Sui Xiong understood that he was facing a problem, he became lost in his thoughts .

Did he think the answers were too simple? Maybe the scale of Void Mask Theme Park wasn’t big enough and needed expansion .

It would definitely be impossible for Void Mask Theme Park at the current scale to provide suitable positions for all unemployed literate people . If so, expansion was a definite necessity .

However, the literacy school could continuously be operated; but the scale of the theme park couldn’t be expanded continuously!

Unless… maybe he could send some of them to Garth city and Geerteng to work?

He contacted Ray and Olian .

“A literate person could take charge of many tasks . But if there are too many of them, I won’t be able to place them all,” Ray said . “If it’s only the batch before our eyes, there’s no problem . But what are you going to do with the ones later on? I think Your Majesty should consider this carefully . ”

“Isn’t your territory running a literacy school as well? Why didn’t you have similar problems?”

“Because we only teach them 100 simple words, and simple mathematics within 100,” Olian said . “At such levels, it wouldn’t even be considered literacy . It is merely slightly moving people out of the barbaric . It’s different from Your Majesty . ”

“… Do you mean, I taught them too well?”

“I think so,” Ryan advised . “I think Your Majesty should lower the standard of education . There is no need to educate such a big batch of cultural talent . Although these people are useful, there can’t be too many of them…”

After that communication, Sui Xiong was vexed .

The problem before his eyes was solved… unless what he thought was not right?

The things that were taught in literacy school in the Void Mask Theme Park, were only at a primary school level from before he traversed . They had did not even teach multiplication and division . How could they be concluded as intellectuals?

The standard of the “intellectual” is too low!

Well, he complained but the problem would still need to be solved .

He called for a few God friends of his that were knowledgeable and experienced to gather to discuss the problem seriously…
